Welp, it's that time of year where the weathr cools down, and all you want to do is sit in a comfy chair with a blanket, some tea, and get lost in a book to distract yourself from the horrors arorund you. If you are looking for some recommendations, then you have come to the right place! I love a good book to help me not give up on the world around me, so I'm hoping that these will do the same for you.

For the purposes of visibility, this is a booktube video, and you can see my bookshelf behind me. One might call this a book recommendation video, or a list of my favorite books. I talk about multiple authors, and I don't know what else to say. It's a video about books. Hopefully my endeavors in this paragraph will ensure the video gets to you, kind stranger.

Thanks as always for watching. If you want to buy me a present or something from my Etsy store, hit the links above.

Cheers, and have a lovely holiday season.

I’ve only recently subscribed to the channel (Murakami books led me here) but the video quality as well as your chilled presentation is really enjoyable. Keep doing what you are doing, the algorithm will bless you soon I’m sure!

hi! im new to your channel :) all your book recommendations seem really interesting, i will definitely give them a read. i liked how insightful you were with your reasons for selecting them (even if you say you forgot what some were about!). your channel is very authentic and relaxing. thanks so much for the video! 😊

I love Banana Yoshimoto. The first book from her I read was Lizard, a collection of short stories, but since then I've read anything of hers I've come across.

I knew I was in for some absolutely fire recommendations when the first two on your list are the Monk & Robot series 🔥🔥🔥
