    I really liked this! I too wanted to be Ronja when I grew up! 😄❤️ I read mostly fiction, and my favourite book is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon ❤️❤️❤️ beautiful love story, and so many strong women! Diana writes amazing characters👌

      Love Outlander! I live in Scotland and met the main cast erm often 😂 watched filmings for the print shop scene, when Bree meets Laoghaire for the first time, when they filmed the Governors Ball or Richard searched in Inverness for Bree 😍 all the actors are so lovely and always take their time for photos ("oh hello, nice to see you again") and autographs. It's like a family

    I have raved about "the subtle art of not giving a fuck" to EVERYONE!
    It was sooooo good! Maybe because I also just agreed with him on most of the stuff before I've read it.
    The part that hit me the most was the "motivation comes through action not through waiting for it to hit you" Ooof.
    but also a lot of other things were just soooo well put

    Anne of Green Gables was the first book I cried too and i still adore to this day. Another favorite is Valient by Holly Black. It's a great twisted fairy tale.

    I've read Eating animals to write a persuasive essay for English class and i learned so much, my copy is full of notes and highlights throughout the book because there's just so much to take in. Also almost everyone of your recommendations is going on my goodreads list they all sound so good! I don't know if you're into series or not but I recommend reading The Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi, it's a very poetically written dystopian series that I reread every year because it's so good ❤

    I’m only 15 and this may seem silly but I really enjoyed ‘ The sun is also a star’ usually I don’t like teen romance but I liked the theory behind it. It had to do with the science behind love and the “conflict” of a biracial couple as well as stereotypes. The dialogue perspective between the characters also goes back and fourth and you get to be inside the minds of each character at different points. It’s very entertaining and I would read again x3

    One of my absolute favourite fiction books are A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I'm a big mythology nerd so I really enjoyed Circe by Madeleine Miller and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. If we are talking Fantasy I cam really recommend the Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. Currently I am reading PS: I Still Love You by Jenny Han because 1. I am a sucker for romance and 2. I want to read more books by non-white authors about non-white people ☺️

    I wanna read the astrophysicist ones, Artemis, and Oyster Thief and prob anything from Dickens (only know Christmas Carol lol). My issue is that I heard too many books. I keep trying to declutter but find it hard to get rid of books (boxes and boxes) including books for children because I use to work in classrooms and certain supplies that I find useful lol

    O m g (s) Ronja the robber's daughter (Ronja, la figlia del brigante) was one of my favourite childhood books! She and Jo March were my Role models! Also, Stephen Fry + greek mythology is seriously the bomb, and you can trust me, i am a classicist!

    Thank you for a great video and super intersting recommendations - I'll definitely try to read The Oyster thief, that really caught my attention. A fiction book that really touched me and stuck with me is "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. It is kind of autobiagraphical, about an Australian guy who escapes from prison and lives in the slums of Mumbai for several years in the eighties (I think), engaging in both charital and criminal activities. That book got me hooked from the very first sentence. A non-fiction book that I can recommend and that you might know is "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari, pretty much a history about our species that I found really inightful.
