Happy Holidays!!! (I'll be celebrating xmas, but a few days late due to sickness in the family 🎄) I hope you all are having a great time and resting up for the new year!! 🎉✨ tell me ur fav books of the year in the comments!!!~
Happy holidays to you as well! I hope everyone in your family is okay and you can enjoy a wonderful late celebration I think my favourite books of the year were Babel by R.F. Kuang, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman :)
@@irisolympia ahh I'm glad you liked it as well, but I get what you said about the vibe, it might not be for everyone (and maybe not at all times) and as you said, the book just IS the atmosphere hahaha. Personally, for some reason, the vibe just is so comforting for me in a way, and The Night Circus was a book I read over months and months and whenever I felt like returning to its world, I read a few pages 😌
@@irisolympiaI LOVE THAT BOOK! Was recommended by an extremely close friend so I’m a bit biased but it’s genuinely one of the only fantasy books I find myself being able to enjoy. Personally, I really liked Station Eleven by Emily Saint John Mandel, which I had regrettably never read until like April of this year.
happy belated holidays!!! :D if folx haven't already, if you like memoirs, would highly recommend Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. The story hits close to home (fair warning!), but the writing is so beautiful and profound, so it was totally worth it for me personally.
My favorite books I read this year were Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and Woman, Eating by Clair Kohda. Highly recommend the audiobooks for both. Love seeing book content from you Iris ❤️
Happy Holidays! So far, I’ve read things like no longer human, Sherlock (and it’s spin-offs), and mystery novels like the ninth grave. May your Christmas be merry and bright>
Happy holidays!! I feel that maybe you will like Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. It is really good! The magic system is really creative, it has really interesting political tensions and a great world building :)
My favorite book this year was definitely A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, I can only recommend!! (It’s Edwardian era, magical, gay greatness!!) It’s the first of a trilogy, and all three books were incredible. I’ve also read The Raven Boys this year, and I loved it sooo so much! I read the whole TRC in a month, it was one of the best series I’ve ever read so if you get the chance, do read the other 3 books, it only gets better :) Happy holidays, and I hope you’ll read just as many fantastic books in 2024!!
Just looked up that series and it looks good!! Thank you for the rec! Yeah the raven boys was sooo good and I read the first part of the next book (my library loan expired lmao) and was equally obsessed so I can't wait to sit down and read them all back-to-back 🤩 Happy holidays!
I read Pumpkinheads this year as well and really liked it. It was lighthearted and cute. I think that the best books that I read were We Were Liars by e. Lockhart and Where the Crawdads Sing.
happy holidays ! I lovedd this video so much!! I think my favorite book this year was Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake ! It was something more lighthearted to read during these weeks :)
My favorite book is Greenglass House by Kate Milford. It's a super cozy mystery YA set during Christmas!!! Besides that, I've also been slowly rereading the entire Anne of Green Gables series.
happy holidays!! this is a book i read last year, but Go Tell It On The Mountain by James Baldwin is the first book i recommend to anyone :D He is a beautiful writer, and it’s only 4.5 stars out of 5 because of the pacing. i rarely found it an issue though because i was locked in the moment i started the first page. great video!!
You should read a frances hardinge book! They're ya but the worldbuilding is incredible and i love the writing style. Also i will never stop recommending a good girls guide to murder. Its being adapted to a tv show at the moment too!
My fav books I read this year were Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham, which kickstarted my sci fi obsession this year. Then my other fav is this really quirky fantasy book called The Book of Sand by Theo Clare (which is a pen name of a pen name, same author writes thriller books under the name Mo Hayder). She’s a really interesting author who sadly recently passed away but like deadly serious her Wikipedia article is worth a read because she had one heck of an insane life!
I love sci fi so viscerally lmfao (I'm kind of surprised I didn't really read any this year I guess I was in a fantasy mode) thank you for the recommendations!!
I love her writing so much! I highly recommend "the left hand of darkness" for gender stuff or "the word for world is forest" for a shorter read (I still think about this book all the time)
@@irisolympia I’d say that pretty much any of her other works are must-reads frankly. Heartstopper, solitaire, loveless, and radio silence are all books that one’s time should be spent on.
U've read 80% of the books i have in my tbr and judging by your reviews and my initial first thoughts about them, i feel like we have a similar taste? i know this is gonna sound weird but ure encouraging me to drop a couple books before i even start them lmao
@@irisolympia Honestly even as I was adding them to my tbr I felt like I was reaching a little so it's nice to know maybe some of them would've been a bust

If you like No Longer Human id recommend The Convenience Store Woman, one of my favorite and very similar vibe and theme

Oh my goodness, I also LOVED Nancy and Plum as a kid!!
I would read it over and over again I was obsessed with the setting!! All time fav I'm glad to hear someone else loves it too 😭

Literally just finished the last in the earthsea books like last week and I loved it, it feels like reading like a myth, I loved it
I love her writing so much! I highly recommend "the left hand of darkness" for gender stuff or "the word for world is forest" for a shorter read (I still think about this book all the time)
@@irisolympia that is currently close to the top of my "to read" pile! Absolutely one for next year!
I definitely agree with the I was born for this opinion, I thought it was kind of underwhelming for oseman
yeah I was a bit confused bc people had been telling me to read oseman for a while…do you have a favorite book of theirs?

🫣 i hope i didn't step on any excitement about the books but yes you may feel the same way as me then!
@@irisolympia Honestly even as I was adding them to my tbr I felt like I was reaching a little so it's nice to know maybe some of them would've been a bust
im about to go back to the eye doctor and i was wondering if you have any advice to pick out a good pair
I watched just to ask how you doing iris
No clue if this was intentional but the books in the thumbnail being the colors of the NB pride flag was hilarious
omfg i didn’t even realize 💀 that’s so funny
