Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

Never in my life I've seen a book recommendations video and wanted to read each and everyone of them.
How are you so relevant, Liz? It's exceptional
Thank you!

[artahoxhaj]

Your passion when you talk about books is contagious!

“If you made it this far you’re probably a nerd” 😅 Ohh yes most definitely haha. Awesome video. I’ll definitely check out some of these books. Thanks!

“If you don’t have this home to escape to, create it”. I’ve added plenty to my list of books to read thanks to this, but as always, I relate more than anything to the Harry Potter comments at the end. Life is crazy, busy and stressful (isn’t it for everyone) and without HP I don’t know ho I’d cope sometimes 😅 Hope you (and everyone reading this) had an amazing Xmas and New Year!

[michaelatiller]

I absolutely loved this and the recommendations! I also admire your take on the parenting book - I never thought to digest the information for myself rather than for my children. This is going to be my book list of the year! Cheers to evolution of the human heart and soul! 💖

I’ve seen a lot of “read these books” lists on YouTube. This is the first time I actually want to read every single book on the list. I have read all of the Harry Potter books, but none of the others. Thank you so much for this. I’ve liked and subscribed!

[evavasquezorejarena]

Loving every single recommendation and the passion you transmit while talking. I recently discovered your channel and I feel so inspired by you :)

I am currently reading 'Life of Pi' by Yann Martel. I knew nothing about it when I started (only that is was about a boy stranded on the pacific in a boat with a Bengal Tiger) and it has been an absolute blast!
As an engineering master student I'm learning to love reading again. After all those years of forcefully reading obnoxious literature in class, I finally started to read books I am interested in: Life op Pi, Dune, Harry Potter, A Poem for every day of the year etc. More to come for sure!
cheers to the book nerds!

The number of times you said “I don’t like <genre>, but….” makes me want to get out of my comfort zone too ❤️

[michellejaynevlogs]

Elizabeth I truly didn’t need 22 more books to add to my tbr on top of my massive to do list in 2022 but I want to read them all, thank you for these recommendations!! 💕

[benashazim]

Elizabeth I just listed so many books to order from this video that I think I'll love, thank you for the inspo here! + kudos to how confidently and effortlessly you are in front of the camera! 😊

[ElisaValkyria]

I’m loving your videos and the way you think

[tensevo]

When I learnt about the scarcity mindset, many years ago now, it immediately resonating with me,
and helped me to get my finances in order.

[etsuko.explores]

Shoe dog is soo good. It was candidly told and i loved that he shared all the hurdles he has faced and how he went about it. Like you said it felt like a normal person telling his story, which was nice.

[plg]

Great list 🙏🏽, already read Shoe dog and Naval Ravikant, just loved it. Checking the remaining books, thank you!!!

[stephaniem]

Thank you. One of your videos inspired me to get a library card and take out some books you recommend. I'm about halfway through the perfectionism book. good! Just thought you would like to know that you've made a positive difference in my life 🙂

[benjaminhartson]

I know you wont read this, but needed to release the sentiment....im so glad I found this channel. Easily applicable tips that have already helped me declutter upstairs and cut right to whats important. Thank you! Im sure youre helping thousands of others in similar ways each day.

[_Tennz]

I've gone ahead and put all of these books on hold at the library. Elizabeth, what you speak of aligns with my soooul and I'm so thankful I came across this video tonight in this moment.. I've watched your content over the past 2 years however, it's been a minute and you couldn't have showed up at a more perfect time. Thank you for all you do, Elizabeth. Congratulations on your success.
