This is such a weird thing, but I really love that you change positions and/or locations when talking about each book. It feels like a mini reset and keeps the video really fresh and engaging. Small touch, but I love it!
Some good reads: All my rage by Sabaa Taahir- soooo good. You definitely won’t regret reading this. What’s eating Gilbert Grape. I recommend watching the movie first because unless you watch the movie first, it’s hard to understand the mother character who in my opinion is the main character in this book.
Beach Read, Book Lovers, and Happy Place are my FAVORITE Emil Henry’s. While I didn’t much care for Funny Story or People We Meet on Vacation. It’s funny how everyone has different opinions on her books! Happy Place is my all time favorite, I resonated with it so much because my dad lived on a lake and was selling his house while i read that book about their last summer at their friends dads lake house! I could see my friend group in that book and i loved it. I highly recommend Happy Place! Especially if you liked Love and Other Words cuz Happy Place is also a second chance romance and fake dating (:
wow thats so interesting! was there a specific reason you didn't like funny story? And thank you for the heads up! I will definitely add Happy place to my tbr now!
@@khalilahd. i think compared to her other books i didn’t think the writing in Funny Story was as good, and i didn’t feel like the story was as deep and i didn’t really relate to any of the characters, but i think that’s what makes Em Hens books so good is they’re different enough where everyone can find a book of hers that they relate to and feel for 🩷
please re read book lovers !!!!! it’s definitely something that in my opinion cannot be overly rushed. i’m sure if you read it in a regular setting and pacing, you’ll like it much more !
If you want to re-experience Project Hail Mary I would recommend the Audible Studios audiobook version - it’s so special because of the way they brought Rocky and Grace to life ✨🪐
Ngl I probably would have never been interested in eleanor oliphant is completely fine. But because you keep mentioning it, I finally bought it. Now that you mentioned it again, I’m inclined to read it next 👀 despite a huge tbr 🤭
All of the books you mentioned are all currently in my TBR list. But the five books that live absolutely rent free in my mind are Before I Let Go, Razorblade Tears, An American Marriage, Small Mercies, and Out of Darkness!
After being in a major reading slump, the ACOTAR series revived that for me this year! I became obsessed with it like I was with Twilight and Harry Potter! Now I’m in my full reading era, and chase that “fantasy high” every month😅
You convinced me to try the audiobook of Funny Story by Emily Henry. I immediately wanted to read the physical copy. I think it could be a Emily Hnery redemption book for me!
I kind of felt the same way as you about Emily Henry, her books just felt “ok” to me. But I read happy place last year and loved it!! I would definitely recommend, I feel like we have such similar tastes so I’ll have to read funny story too!!
Yeah Harry Potter and Brandon Sanderson books did that to me as well, I thought I couldn’t get so immersed into books as an adult anymore but they proved me wrong.
Funny Story was good, but I didn’t really like Happy Place that much tbh. I had also guessed Eleanor Oliphant was gonna be that book at the end 😅 haha I ended up reading that and it was really good 😊
I've had Eleanor Oliphant on Audible for a few years and never listened to it. But it's definitely been recommended as a great read by so many different people. I loved, loved, LOVED Funny Story!! I didn't think I would because I'm not a romance girlie, but the dialogue between Daphne and Noah and supporting characters was top-notch!! I laughed out loud so many times throughout the book! I was recommended to read Book Lovers (I think that's the title) next.
Hey Friend, Happy Thursday. I just love hearing you talk about books, it’s so enjoyable to hear about people and their passions. For me my passion is UA-cam and watching videos, it has always helped me through the difficult times. I feel the same way about UA-cam that you feel about books. 😊🥰🎃👻
I think my top favourites are “His dark materials series by Phillip Pullman, “Fourth Wing”, “Yours Truly” by Abby Jimenez, “Honeybee” by Craig Silvey” honourable mention to “ The Summer I turned pretty” series and “A good girls guide to murder”
If I could reread anything, it would be Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series (specifically Era 1). Like what you said with Harry Potter, I was completely taken into a different world and felt as if I was right there with the characters, learning and being present in their lives. It was honestly the best thing I’ve ever read, and I feel a great nostalgia for the books, even though I only read them last year! Perfect for anyone who enjoys reading fantasy with a female main character!
@@khalilahd.OMG that would be the best!! Mistborn is like I said, a series, but if you want to read a standalone, then I highly highly recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea. It’s got action/adventure, magic, and a little bit of romance!!
I’m finally reading the Harry Potter series now. I am on the 4th book. I never read them as a kid cuz I went to catholic school and administrators put the fear in us not to, LOL😅 I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched the movies, but I’m also having the time of my life and connecting with my inner child reading the books❤
i know you'll fully agree with me when i say i'd KILL to read a man called ove for the first time again! that book wrecked me and put me back together again. also i who have never known men by jacqueline harpman..... khalilah it's incredible 164 pages of greatness i will never be the same
Please don’t read Happy Place or that People We Meet on Vacation book by Emily Henry. I’ve read all her books and after Funny Story, I think Book Lovers is the 2nd best and Beach Read the 3rd. So if you weren’t keen on those I think you’ll not like the other 2. I’ve never read Harry Potter or seen the movies. I think I’m going to give them a try.
I don’t think you should say which ones to not read. We should form our own opinions. We may all connect with a different book for a different reason ❤️
@@rubyanddelilahandnani absolutely agree. If we listened to every person that didn’t like a book we considered reading, imagine all the books that we would never discover as new favorites. Books aren’t one size fits all. Personally, my two favorite Emily Henry books are People We Meet on Vacation and Happy Place. While Funny Story ended up being my least favorite. We should always encourage others to form their own thoughts and opinions, even if it doesn’t align with our own❤️
no offense, just a question: do you regret not reading harry potter as a child?? or do you feel happy to understand more by reading it as an adult? 😊 and have you watched the harry potter movies??❤ (so epic and awsome)
I don't regret it because it was never spoiled for me and I had a wonderful experience with it. I guess it would have been nice to grow up with it but I still love the experience I had with it 😊
Eleanor Olifant? Did I get it right?❤❤My Thursday just got better woth your video my dearest 💜My holy grail is : "My brilliant friend" by Elena Ferrante, I wish I could wipe my memory and read it for the first time again 😘😘
I didn’t think I would like Emily Henry’s books because I’m so used to reading classic literature, but I read People We Meet on Vacation and I’m a changed person :,)
Don’t know about any good dystopian series other than Jemisin broken earth trilogy so idk Fantasy: Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams The Golem & the Jinni Duology by Helene Wecker
@@meraribonilla9561 Huh? I never said she couldn’t have her own opinion. She literally asked for our opinions and suggestions. Lighten up. It’s not that serious. ❤️
alright fine. time to spend some more money i read people we meet on vacation by emily henry and it was definitely not my cup of tea but i'll trust you on this one bestie! i had similar feelings with christina lauren but love & other words completely changed my opinion so i'm excited to see 🤎
haha no I promise, if we have similar reading tastes you'll LOVE Funny Story but listen to the audiobook if you want a fool proof experience, its so so good!!
I read Harry Potter when I was 12 back in 2000s, the perfect age and time to dive into the series without any social media interruptions and girl, I’m telling you, I couldn’t sleep peacefully without having one of the books beside me-I was THAT hooked. 🥲
This is such a weird thing, but I really love that you change positions and/or locations when talking about each book. It feels like a mini reset and keeps the video really fresh and engaging. Small touch, but I love it!
omg thank you for noticing!
A video from my favourite booktuber a day keeps the sadness away
🥹🫶🏽
Project Hail Mary is so good!
so good!
Some good reads:
All my rage by Sabaa Taahir- soooo good. You definitely won’t regret reading this.
What’s eating Gilbert Grape. I recommend watching the movie first because unless you watch the movie first, it’s hard to understand the mother character who in my opinion is the main character in this book.
gotcha! thank you for the recs!
I giggled when you said Hail Mary... Cause its called Project Hail Mary 😊
I think she did it on purpose to say it in a short way
Eleanor Oliphant! I don’t comment often 🫣 but I watch your videos alllllll the time 😅
haha you know me well 💜
Beach Read, Book Lovers, and Happy Place are my FAVORITE Emil Henry’s. While I didn’t much care for Funny Story or People We Meet on Vacation.

I always look forward to your videos

13:39 Its either Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine or Love and Other Words

I hope you feel better soon!
I read "Eleanor oliphant is completely fine" because of you and i really loved it, aghhh i think of this book all the time.
omg yay!!! so glad you enjoyed it!
I bought Eleanor Oliphant just because of you! I haven’t read it but I need to read!
omg yay!!! I hope you love it!
You are right - that Hunger Games series is too good! Still need to read Hail Mary
I recommend listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks as a reread. I just did that!
I absolutely love the last two books. They are also in my top 5
Adding to my TBR ✨ hope you're having a great October 🎃
you too!!
The last book is Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine!!! We love ittt. I literally read it because of you!

KHALILAHHHHH THE “BETTER THAN THE MOVIES” SEQUEL IS OUT AND IT IS A MUST READ ❤❤❤❤
The Hunger games series is my FAVORITE book series ever! Its so amazing! ❤
loved this series!
really liked this video
so glad 💜
Ngl I probably would have never been interested in eleanor oliphant is completely fine. But because you keep mentioning it, I finally bought it. Now that you mentioned it again, I’m inclined to read it next 👀 despite a huge tbr 🤭
do it!!! I'm telling you, I haven't met a single person who didn't like it!
@@khalilahd. I just finished it and I loved it! I can’t wait to read more of the books you rave about in your videos
All of the books you mentioned are all currently in my TBR list. But the five books that live absolutely rent free in my mind are Before I Let Go, Razorblade Tears, An American Marriage, Small Mercies, and Out of Darkness!
I read Harry Potter last year. I already reread it twice.....I will never be the same
this format really suits me
I read Eleanor Oliphant because of you.
I now have everything i know about love because of you 🤗 I can't wait to read it. My favorite at the moment is the Shoe Dog, it's a memoir

You should read people we meet on vacation over happy place.
I kind of felt the same way as you about Emily Henry, her books just felt “ok” to me. But I read happy place last year and loved it!! I would definitely recommend, I feel like we have such similar tastes so I’ll have to read funny story too!!

no better feeling ❤️
0:13 same for me. Although the list isn't the same as yours. Mine is Percy Jackson 😅❤
loved this series too!
Funny Story was good, but I didn’t really like Happy Place that much tbh. I had also guessed Eleanor Oliphant was gonna be that book at the end 😅 haha I ended up reading that and it was really good 😊
lol you know me well! And yes, I've heard mixed reviews on Happy Place
I'm happy to be here early today 😊... I love it 😅
NO DNF CAFE loves your work, keep doing what you are doing.
Would you ever make a video on re-reading your top 5 star books ?
That’s a great idea!

Everything I know about love is one of my all time favorite books ❤ I want to read all the rest 👀📖
13:34 Eleanor Olyphant is doing fine. Or something like that. Total guess because you mention it often😂

Am about to sleep but I saw you posted so imma gonna delay my sleep

Didn’t love Happy Place . But it was cool. I marveled over Funny Story. It was sooooo good 🥹
so good!!
Reading Eleanor Oilphant real soon…definitely plan to read it before the year ends. And yes, I knew it was this book before u said it 😂
yay!!! I hope you love it!!
I guess 4 out of the 5 correctly and I do want a cookie for it lololol🤭

yay!! Happy you're here ❤️
I expected Tuesday’s with Morrie
Love your videos 🫶🏽
love you!!
Eleanor Oliphant , I got it right 🎉 . “ do you miss me.. I miss you “ you talking to your books 😂 I do the same 😂😂
haha yup! love that book 💜
I am guessing the last one is Sweet Eleanor Oliphant.
you know me well lol
@khalilahd. I mean, you aren’t wrong. The book sticks with you. A Man called Ove did the same.
Im glad you enjoyed funny story it's my favorite book by Emily 😊
It's so good!
13:30
I'm betting on Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine
(I had to Google how to write it oops)
-what else could it be lmao💗
haha yup you know me well!
It’s me binge watching
Miles, you mean?
I was looking for this comment! I was like Noah????
yes I'm sorry! I said the wrong name lol
Miles Nowak // Noah - i get it 😁👍🏽
SAMEEEEE!!!
i know you'll fully agree with me when i say i'd KILL to read a man called ove for the first time again! that book wrecked me and put me back together again. also i who have never known men by jacqueline harpman..... khalilah it's incredible 164 pages of greatness i will never be the same
you've convinced me! Adding to tbr now!
Project Hail Mary has been sitting on my shelves for what feels like ages so I might have to get to that rather sooner than later 👀
please do!!
Great video ❤
Glad you liked it!!
I reread bunny already and want to reread Mrs. Death Misses Death. 👩🍳💋
best!!!
awesome video
thank you!
The main male character in Funny Story is Miles right?! Or am I making that up….
Hiiiii Khalilah! 😊.... I'm going through a very rough time right ... 😢 but I'll keep uplifting you and supporting you❤️. you are beautiful as always.
oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing better now 💜
@@khalilahd. I'm doing a little bit better now, thank you ❤
Girl 😆 I love you but it’s Miles, not Noah. You had me second guessing everything! Lol
oh no I didn't even realize I misspoke! my bad 😭
the way i thought i was crazy, i was like is there a different mmc in the US version (i’m from the uk) 😭😭
I still have t read Harry Potter 😅 I really need to

The Golem & the Jinni Duology by Helene Wecker
I can try to look into some!
💕
Aight imma buy it. Project hail mary.
Noah? or Miles hahahaha
Girl, I love you but it’s Miles not Noah for funny story 😂😂
ugh I know, I miss spoke my bad 😭
Have you read Powerless by Lauren Roberts?
I have!
@@khalilahd. omg what are your thoughts?! That and reckless are definitely books (for me) that live rent free lol
omg i'm early too!
yay!
Don’t read Happy Place, it’s so boring. Read Book Lovers next!
i thought that one was pretty boring as well 💀 but maybe i just need a little more action packed books xd
That's ur opinion. Let others have and figure out theirs
@@meraribonilla9561 Huh? I never said she couldn’t have her own opinion. She literally asked for our opinions and suggestions. Lighten up. It’s not that serious. ❤️
Book lovers is my absolute favorite
Not me, loving Happy Place. It's a 5-star for me
Harry Potter wasnt from the 90s. Way to make me feel old 😂😊
it was first published in June 26th 1997
alright fine. time to spend some more money
i read people we meet on vacation by emily henry and it was definitely not my cup of tea but i'll trust you on this one bestie!
i had similar feelings with christina lauren but love & other words completely changed my opinion so i'm excited to see 🤎
haha no I promise, if we have similar reading tastes you'll LOVE Funny Story but listen to the audiobook if you want a fool proof experience, its so so good!!

I read only two books by Emily Henry, Happy place and Funny story. I liked Happy place better than Funny story so I would totally recommend 🫡
