I don't know how old this sweet kid is but she is in for a lifetime of joy. She has so much literature in her future to look forward to.

The way you explain and advertise your love for these books, is so poetic and believable that I added them to my list as well. You’re the type of person to give the love of reading to those who don’t. Amazing.

I wish everyone could read One hundred years of solitude in spanish. I'm very sure you can grasp the beauty of the book with a good translation, but besides transforming me deeply, that book made me realize my language is so beautiful. I haven't read anything else in spanish as beautiful as that book. Or maybe it's just the book itself, idk, this book is crazy good... heck I think it's even worth it to learn spanish in order to read this book in the original version

i just have no words. this might be one of my favorite booktube videos ever. you've opened my eyes to books i never even knew existed and reminded me of others i'd dismissed for no obvious reasons. also a reminder that i CAN get through War and Peace.

the vibes i get watching your videos is like being in a magical light academia dream and i love it <3🧚‍♀️🔮🎄

War and Peace was definitely a landmark read for me. I don't think I've ever read a book that has left such an impact on me. I so badly relate to Pierre and honestly he is my favorite character ever.

Your love for literature makes me want to engross myself in the world of reading again. I love how you talk about books, its beautiful.

I literally started tearing up when you read that passage from The Dark Interval. I've been dealing with grief these last two years and it has changed me a lot, so I'm definitely picking that book up as soon as possible. Brilliant video as always!

The enthusiasm in the way you talk about your favourite books is just so satisfying and calming omg

I love the way you talk about your experiences reading those books, so intense! To read a book and have this kind of reaction to it, just amazing. Thank you for sharing.

some of my favorite books of all time would probably be: - beartown by fredrik backman: i think that, if i could choose, this would be my favorite book that i've read at this point in time. i still cannot wrap my mind around it and love it so, so much. it's so poignant and full of heart and depicts humanity in the most accurate way. fredrik backman is an astounding writer. i heavily recommend it if you are interested. (check trigger warnings) - heidi by johanna spyri: this was my favorite book as a child and has instilled in me an ever-present dream of visiting the alps one day, lol. it means so much to me and feels like a warm hug. i feel like i'm due for a re-read soon. - percy jackson and the olympians by rick riordan: just the whole series. these books have always been my greatest source of comfort through thick and thin and i hold them very dear to my heart. i think i've re-read them 4 or 5 times each. there's definitely more, but these are the big three. also, thank you for all the beautiful recommendations, i'm currently reading letters to a young poet because of you! <3

this video was so wholesome, hearing you talk about books and describing your experiences and the way you talked about everything just made my heart full. thankyou for this video :)

one of my absolute favorite books has got to be the perks of being a wallflower. that book makes me feel so comforted and seen and heard. i think everybody can identify with Charlie in some way and just the way it’s written makes it so intimate and it really is like he’s writing letters to you. and the way Charlie sees the world is just so unique and pure and poetic and just. I love that book. I can’t wait for my yearly re read.
