    Two videos in one month. We are eating good before Thanksgiving 😊 Justin Torres just won the National Book Award for Blackouts.

    I love your reviews and your enthusiasm (and your Miley Cyrus impression 🎶 "It's the cliiiimb" 🎶). You got me laughing in the doctor's office 😂. (Edit: I just finished Beach Read, and liked it, though I felt we knew what the ending was gonna be. As for Happy Place, I remember not even being interested from the description that I read, so I never picked it up.) I read The Davenports and was disappointed with the end. You just reminded me that I have We Deserve Monuments and haven't read it yet.

    You are freaking hilarious! This was my first time watching you, and I have no idea what you do outside of booktube, but I have to imagine you have spent much of your time on stage! ❤❤

    I just finished shark heart and it was great. It's also one of those books with super short scenes/chapters so you can flick through super fast. 🦈 ♥

    I’ve never commented on your videos or much on anyone’s (I don’t stay on this app like that) but I just wanted to say that I love your videos. They make me happy. You read a lot of different books and have put me on to several good reads 🙌🏾. You remind me of myself a bit lol 😂I’m glad that you are back and giving us more of your time. Can you do a video showcasing the books on your book shelf one day? Thank you 😊

      Thank you so much for saying that and I do plan on doing a bookshelf tour really soon.

    You certainly made a case for Did You Hear About Kitty Karr. I had not heard about this book,, probably because I'm mostlly a genre reader and watch mostly genre Booktubers. But your enthusiastic endorsement encourages me to wander a little bit outside of the fields I know. Thank you for the rec.

    I don’t have a Good Reads either, but do drop in once in a while. I don’t really like how some contributors reveal so many spoilers in their reviews. Not really into the whole awards thing since I am such a mood reader. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate how you tell us your actual feelings without being judgmental about the writer. “It didn’t work for me” is the perfect review for a book that doesn’t appeal.

    In the fantasy catagory A Day of Fallen Night was my first 5☆ fiction of the year and I still adore it!

    I enjoyed your video. I read Fourth Wing because of the hype and I loved the book and Iron Flame. I’m always interested to hear different takes on the same titles. The only thing I care about is the promotion of titles that I might not otherwise pay attention to. So thanks for your insights.

    I'm boycotting because I suspect they cancelled the MG and Graphic Novels categories in order to swerve controversy. The latest Heartstopper was near guaranteed to win Graphic novels and I suspect they could see the MG category was going to be packed with similar "controversial"🤨 books. I don't think GR ever had a spine but retreating this way on children's books, gives me such a disgust of them.

    😂😂 I love your videos!! How do you have time to read so many books??? I need to stop watching though because I just keep adding to my reading list, and it has more than 50 books on it right now….😵‍💫😩

    • @DezmondZ

    Agreed! There is no competition when S.A. Cosby is on the list. Hello Beautiful was a huge letdown for me too.

    Horror just may not be your genre
