whenever i see someone recommending a hoover book or has a hoover book in their "books i'd sell my soul to read again", i do not and will not ever trust their recommendation. and that's set in stone. no one will ever change my mind

when hannah posts my tbr dresses up in a robe and holds a goblet to welcome all the new books like a cult leader and i am here for it

slammed to my dark Vanessa and verity to rebecca is the biggest book glow up

As a child of an abusive father, It ends with us send me into a biiiiggg anger fit. It's really bad, like *really* *bad*
On the other hand Into the dream house helped me deal with an abusive lesbian relationship I was in. It made me feel really validated when all the people arround me disminished my experience because it was between two women. It also is a literature masterpiece. Love Carmen Maria Machado so much. The way she can make the experience of beeing female into a subtle horror story is superb

As a manga reader I am always happy when booktubers discover manga series and recommend them. Most people think manga is an inferior form of literature and I am glad when people who enjoy reading fall in love with manga.

I read an interview with Yanigahara and she said she did 0 research into disability. I'm disabled, was born disabled and acquired a second disability, and the persistent narrative that we just don't have lives worth living makes me so angry. If she'd bothered to do some research she could've written something that redressed the balance a little bit, but it's like Me Before You but worse. We have lives outside our disabilities and we are SO far behind in terms of disability rights that the representation matters. Thanks for calling it out.

all i saw was the title and i KNEW we'd be getting a rebecca recommendation based on verity lol

I feel like Sally Rooney is like cilantro - some people love it, others think it tastes like soap. I'm kind of into her writing, she's like a mirror of my worst thoughts and dumb stuff I did when i was younger. Still, I understand why some people don't like her books.

[martinarizzo]

literally genius ideaaaa!!!! thanks a lot for suffering through those books for us, it really is a public service

[Wackydopamine]

I'm trans and I read A Lady for a Duke from your recommendation and my god so many emotions. The only negative thing that I felt when reading this book was the "why can't this be me" feeling lmao. I'm just out here tryna find a Gracewood

[satanicjay-yrtd]

I honestly love that you don't just recommend books but you recommend manga too! your channel is so unique and special and I have loved so many other books you have recommended in your past videos, so im super excited to add all these to my tbr and hopefully love them as well :)

Jesse On Youtube made a similar video 'ALTERNATIVES to 10 Super Popular But RACIST Books' and i LOVED IT!! i love seeing booktubers recommend alternatives to problematic/bad popular books

[TheRazzmatazz]

A Lady for a Duke is so underrated, it became one of my favorite romances ever!
So glad to see it get more love

[annie_ma]

i love it how you come up with interesting and actually helpful content ideas❤ and unlike some booktubers filming an obscene number of hauls and reading plans but few informed reviews and recommendations, you're more about quality over quantity and most often tell us about books you've actually read and know well about! great job Hannah^^

[prplrhinomilk]

My Dark Vanessa was so haunting, when you pulled it out I got shivers. Difficult to read for sure, but written so well 😳

[Luna-poui]

I'm pretty new to manga but off of your rec I started Yona of the Dawn and ended up reading thirty volumes in a week. Thank you for this gift, my life will never be the same, it is everything, from blood and ash

[aamnahere]

I would love to see a video on your favourite historical fiction or the ones you're really looking forward to read.

[mairabezerra]

Oh I loved this idea! And Hannah really did it: she made a book recommendation based on CoHo 😂.

We absolutely need more videos like these! Some authors truly do have a good vision for a plot which makes you intrigued and though you get what their trying to do with it, the way they sometimes deliver it can be so underwhelming or disappointing..so to find a book which is a better version of that book as to fulfill your desire to read that plot can be reallyy helpful! This video is genius

[myfictionalthoughts]

I adore Yona of the Dawn, wish more people picked it up! Great idea for the video, loved all of the recommendations. Thank you Hannah❤
