    First of all, LOVE the don Quixote tattoo! I had to read a lot of the original Spanish text in highschool so I’ve always been wary to read the full novel but I’ve heard so many great things it might be time to give it a shot!
    Also happy to see some crossover in our favorites, I think Frankenstein has officially made it to the top of my favorites list as well.

  • @kylieweitz

    My favorite book of all time : Tuck Everlasting. It is a strange book to like as a 33 year old, when it is a book for youngsters. I read it in middle school and it was one of those right books at the right time moments. It is a book that contemplates life & death with a fantasy element of drinking water that makes you live forever. At the time I read it, my mom got sick. Being the first time dealing with the concept of death at a young age made me question “would I drink the water and live forever or live a normal life?” 📖.

    • @nicky7738
      @nicky7738 2 роки тому +7

      Tuck Everlasting is such a beautiful book! A lot of my favorites-and some of the most meaningful stories I’ve read-are middle-grade books. I think adults should read more children’s literature!

    Really excited that someone else has Everything I Never Told You as one of their favorites. I read it earlier this year and it's definitely a top favorite now for sure. Some of my other favorites are: The Giver, Feed, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, 1984, Brave New World, Wuthering Heights, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Catcher in the Rye, Norwegian Wood, and Bunny. A lot of the books you mentioned are ones on my tbr and I can't wait to read them! And I also have my grandma's favorite book that I'm planning to read this year as well -- The Brothers Karamzov. One of my favorite things is reading the fave books of people I love.

    Some of my favorite books: Station Eleven (my forever favorite book!), Daisy Jones and the Six, City of Girls, Sense and Sensibility, The Beach Read, The Book Thief, The Hate U Give, and should also add The Hunger Games because I loved that book so much back in the day. And my favorite book when I was in my early teens was called Carpe Diem by Autumn Cornwell, but I can't account for it being good because I haven't read it in years! 😅 There are definitely more books but can't think of them now!

    (possible spoiler warning for Everything I Never Told You lmao)
    That book WRECKED me. It took me over a month to complete and put me in a reading slump that I'm still recovering from. Reading about the loss of a child alone was enough to keep me sad yet interested, but the affair in pair with the overlooked youngest sibling hit too close to home. I sprinted through one or two chapters at a time and had to follow up with a lighthearted book to replenish my emotional well-being, the emotion in the writing was almost overwhelming but it was necessary for the characters to feel real. One of my top faves this year so far.
    Can't wait to pick up Know My Name once I'm in the head-space for it
