a book to read if you enjoyed the Barbie movie

[minztee]

topic wise it also really reminded me of kim jiyoung born 1982! I know it's an old recommendation, but if someone hasn't checked it out, you really should!

Interesting pick! :) What about a Full video about book recs for people who enjoyed Barbie? Fingers crossed!! I saw the movie twice, loved it, and I'll probably be seeing it one more time

The way I have seen the movie 3 times in theatres 😅

This popped up in my YouTube subscriptions and made me imagine doing a similar thing on my own BookTube channel (if i ever launch it), but knowing my own reading interests, it'd have to look like a children's bookshop.

(11:01) That actually reminded me:

Out of all the physical books in my collection, I have only one book that was a signed edition, and I won it by chance from the author's since-failed first attempt at a newsletter (he had a second attempt which is still going IIRC), plus the author is one whose works I love and the book is the first in a series that I love despite having not read it yet!!

It's the first book in his current graphic novel series (following one that ran for a long time and had its rights acquired for a TV series that was axed… R.I.P.), it included a promotional bookmark promoting the book itself, plus it's only one of two book series I currently have on automatic buy! However, one thing that people would ask me if they see a photo of my bookshelf with that very copy is why it's a paperback while my copies of the rest of the series are hardback copies. (Yes, I prefer hardbacks when buying physical copies of books)

(Addendum: I forgot to mention that I understand that not everyone has signed books, but I found it funny that you decided to just sign your author copy of your own book, which also kinda makes sense as I believe my signed book was one the author pulled from his own box of author copies)

it also reminded me of virginia woolf's essay "a room of one's own"

[CatHelicopter]

i read this back when i was 14 or 15 and it was so illuminating for me

[heidishaw]

I was very happy to discover this is on kindle unlimited

[isabee]

i have not even watched barbie yet but i feel like bunny by mona awad would also give similar vibes (maybe?)

This is not as commonly-known as it should be, and I imagine even less so in the UK, but Jia's parents were human traffickers, and she lied about what they did and defended them extensively. Her "feminist" essays about Soulcycle classes sound incredibly hollow to me, given that context

The chronicles of pectronia book rocked this year I love the book don't miss that fantasy falls⭐✨⭐✨✨✨👑👑👑👑👑

[osmankeremakn]

I know you really enjoyed the Barbie movie Jack

[qbhtfrn]

How’s it in ur opinion? I haven’t watched yet …..(never had a doll or watched barbie growing up) but now since so many guys r pissed I wanna watch it 😭💅

[jesmiscellaneous]

PSA! The author does voiceovers of quite a lot of the chapters on BBC Sounds. It’s free and legal as it’s prt of their literature podcast series

[laurentvere]

You should do a video recommendations of movies and series xD

[ish]

Barbie was an excellent feminist critique of consumerism, thankyouverymuch

[ahmedmahamat]

If you know French (I assume you do since you ´ve lived in Paris) there is this one book that has been the n1 best selling book for the past 3months that is quite effing amazing it’s called LA PROCHAINE QUE TU MORDRAS LA POUSSIÈRE de PASCOT Panayotis

Do a vid about the secret history by Donna tartt

[hope]

I was waiting for you to say which barbie movie but I see you just mean the live action one

[Elle_Riley]

Loved Barbie, didn’t like the majority of that book tbh 🫣
