I'm a pretty new reader, but these are my top five 5 star books! ⭐️
1- As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow ~Koulfa Katouh
2- Heaven ~ Mieko Kawakami
3- The Yellow Wallpaper ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
4- Howl's Moving Castle ~ Diana Wynne Jones

Note: (I'm currently reading "Letters to a young poet" and oh my God. It's the best thing I've ever read. 16 pages in, I've only finished the first 3 letters and I'm so glad I'm reading it, I'm annotating A LOT and it is just the perfect time in my life for it. So yeah, that will definitely go on the list.)

It's always so nice to hear Emma talk about books, and loved that there was a quick mention for Gibran, I read both of them cause of you, and THANK YOU, I love his work so much. I always love your recommendations cause I always tend to have very similar review of books as you!

I LOVE that you read what you want and enjoy such a variety of books. Booktube is full of lovely people but I find so many of them read so many of the same books.
I love your videos full of new recommendations and enthusiasm 🥰
