    Print media goal is awesome. And so extra important in the year ahead to be consuming good journalism. Short stories recommendation - last year I read Daphne du Maurier's 'The Birds and Other Stories' and it was SUCH a good read. Very quirky, dark tales, and I enjoyed every one.

    This shows that your reading taste has really grown last year! I, personally, am not much of a lit fic reader, so none of these really called out to me, but I love seeing your enthusiasm for these books, it's truly infectious!!! 🦊⭐2025 is the year I get through my owned TBR, so I look forward to reading all those books! (Pillars of the Earth is among them 👀)

    Save Small Things Like These for Christmastime! It would be a great read any time of year, but that is when it takes place. I am not an audiobook girlie, but Good Material's audiobook hit! I think the narrator's voice helped because the main character is a stand up comic and you hear the sarcasm and whininess and it really makes the story. I loved Intermezzo and I am was not a Sally Rooney fan before it. I couldn't stand Beautiful World Where Are You, so I am so glad I gave her a second chance (I will read Normal People now). I CANNOT WAIT to read Sunburn this year, too!!!

    Omg our taste in books are so similar! I LOVED My Brilliant Friend! And Good Material! And Sea of Tranquility! I studied The Beauty of the Husband in university and it got me into Anne Carson. Did you know Grady Hendrix has a new book called Witchcraft for Wayward Girls? Really looking forward to the new Emily Wilde book, and I feel like it’s a really good year for some interesting new releases.

    I traveled to Ireland last September and my boyfriend and I stayed in a boutique hotel in Limerick. The rooms were all identified by a poet's name instead of a number. It was so cute! We stayed in the Sheamus Heaney room! They had some of his poetry in the room, so i read some. He is an interesting guy! :)

    I cheated with my 25 or 2025, too lol. If something was a series, I counted it as one thing. Some are new releases from last year and some are the books that I have had on my physical TBR the longest. I am very excited :) Some are books that you've actually recommended, like "Sirens and Muses" and "Sourdough" - at least I think they were from you when I started watching BookTube a couple of years ago lol

    2. Earthlings by Sayaka Murata
    3. Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
    4. The Employees by Olga Ravn
    5. The Centre by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi
    6. The Hole by Hiroko Oyamada
    7. Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas
    I hope you like at least one of these! I've recently been obsessed with Sayaka Murata personally.

    Short story rec. It is called Eyes Guts Throat Bones and it is by Moira Fowley. This is a sapphic weird horror collection featuring stories such as Break Up Poem Recited Knee Deep in Bog Water, Nature Morte and Sad Straight Sex at the End of the World. We have apocalypses, gods, demon summonings and more. On top of it all, I adored how it was written and I just had so much fun with this book.

    A Marine Corps General introduces the argument in Vonnegut's story, Cat's Cradle: He's tired of mud, particularly the kind in which he and his men much occasionally squirm through. He therefore tasks a scientist with the elimination of mud. At least I think that's it but it occurs to me I may have described the idea behind Player Piano? Anyway, the novel that won the Pulitzer Prize, Breakfast of Champions, was the start of my Vonnegut journey. It's the distant past for me - I believe I was in 5th grade at the time - though subsequently I reread it a few more times. If indeed you like short stories, then possibly you will enjoy Welcome to the Monkeyhouse. Anyway - enjoy!

    Just this morning, I've finished reading In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune and...once again, he hits a homerun.
    I'm not much of a sci-fi fan, admittedly but the book was a real page-turner for me. The ending hit me so hard in the feels, I felt like I got punched by Tyson AND Holifield at the same time

    "Small Things Like These" is written in an understated way, but when you understand the content it's so moving. I know I was confused a bit when I first read it, so if you are after reading it then make sure to read the note at the end (I think it's there?) and look up information on "Magdalene Laundry." After reading.

I would love it to come from a different culture or country if possible. The whole book does not have to surround the holiday,but the holiday has to be featured in the book. It is for a reading challenge that my local book store is hosting. Thanks love your channel. ❤

    Hi, Lexi🌞
    Your videos have always been an experience of great comfort and joy for me, so I want to share with you some of my all times favourite Ukrainian gems:
    The Tango of Death by Yuri Vynnychuk is an epic tale that merges friendship, love, history, and war into one astonishing violin symphony;
    The Hunters and the Hunted: the true face of will and hatred, based on autobiographical events: the expulsion of Bagrianiy to the Far East, in the Gulag;
    The City by Valerian Pidmohylny: an existential crisis of an unlikeable main character with Kyiv as an all-consuming character of its own;
    The UnSimple by Taras Prokhasko is your favourite weird lit with some specks of surrealism set in magical Ukrainian mountains.
    Some of these books are already in the public domain, and some are accessible via Kindle Unlimited. I sincerely hope that you might find something special in these, and I wish you all the best! 🌻🌻🌻

      I hit that wall last year. I felt like I was reading to achieve a number, not for enjoyment, and I hit a wall; I haven’t finished a book since October, and in November and December I didn’t read at all. I took some time to do a reset, decided I wasn’t going to worry about numbers anymore, and I was going to read what I want in the moment and not feel guilty about what’s been sitting on my TBR for years. So far it’s helped! I’m almost done with Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross, and although I could easily power through the last 100 pages I’m taking my time to savor it instead. Be easy on yourself, remember you’re not reading for anyone but you and you’ll fall in love with it again. Cheers, hun 🥰🫶
