Thank you for recommending fresh books... we've come to a point where every booktube channel recommends the same books even after years...the same books are circulating through every video, at this point I know what book they will suggest and I know what phrases they'll use while describing it. You are refreshing 🌟
And you have the most genuine calming intro ever.

I love how you often recommend books I've never heard of. It's very refreshing and you pitch them very well so I want to read all of them

Loved this video, I think we have similar tastes but you picked up a lot of stuff I hadn't heard of before - just added Good Girl, Suzanne and Tear to my list. Plus your voice is so nice to listen to. Followed!

Didn’t know there was a graphic novel of DUNE-I’ve been intimidated by the novel, but this sounds like a really good starting point :) thanks for the rec!

You already had me sold on Tear but when I looked it up on goodreads and saw that the first words of the blurb are: “a reclamation of female rage” I immediately bought it on kindle lol

A winter must-read for me is Little Women! ❄
