TIA! She’s back!!! ❤happy new year!!! I’m doing a new challenge this year where I read my favorite bookish content creators recommendations. I would be DELIGHTED if I could get a rec from you. I’m open to any genre ❤🎉

I am a big mood reader so I loved that you included different genres!

Great list! I loved A Flicker in the Dark, it was one of my first thrillers I read 😍 I really want to get into the Veronica Speedwell series cause it sounds right up my alley! Hoping to get to Blue Sisters and The Wedding People in 2025. Here’s my top 10 of 2024 (from least to most favorite): Just For The Summer Remarkably Bright Creatures Tress of the Emerald Sea The God of the Woods Seven Days in June Piranesi The Things We Cannot Say Words of Radiance Beartown Six of Crows

I'm glad you're OK and making videos again. Good luck with your applications! Raw Dog was also one of my favorite books of the year and I gotta thank you for the recommendation. I don't think I could have continued enjoying hot dogs after reading the book, but that's because I already don't like them. (Also, I'll reveal my location and say I live near where the Tyson Food managers were taking bets on how many people would get Covid, and that's the attitude of many employers around here. Gross.)

I read ‘A Man Called Ove’ this year because of you and it was probably my fav book it made me cry/laugh so much and I’m already looking forward to rereading it sometime this 2025. Also I read/loved Kristen Hannah’s ‘The Nightingale’ and if you haven’t already you definetly should make the time to read it cos it was soooo good! I love a novel that rips my heart out basically 😂 also so proud that I hit 77 books this year since I just got back in to reading a little over a year ago 🎉 going for 100 this next year! 💜

You might not believe this but I’m genuinely actually currently watching run with the wind, almost halfway now and I have the same sentiments as you!! My entire heart is attached to it

we’re so back!! you picking up checkmate after james baldwin sent me 😂 that just shows ur range!!!

As someone who lives in southern NH I was shocked when you talked about SNHU lol I feel like people outside New England forget NH even exists lol

Aw yay Tia is back, we adore you and are so happy to see you back on TH-cam! I hope you feel healthy again soon❤

Yay!!! She’s back. Missed you.

I just started the video (and it's the first I've seen of yours) but I just have to say, your vibes and energy are so amazing and positive!! ✨I can't wait to watch and add some of your favorites to my TBR ❤

This year I read 43 books. Which is amazing for me because I used to hate reading and this year I fell in love. The seven year slip was in the top favourites 💛Can’t wait to add your recommendations to my list! ❤❤

So glad you're back! My faves of the year were Babel, Piranesi and Yellowface

Some 2024 faves: Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Bodyguard, Project Hail Mary, Lights Out, Verity, The Grace Year, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Diamond Eye

Some of my favorite books of the year were: when in Rome by Sarah Adams, Academy of Villains by Ever King, The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith (Got an ARC for it), Assistant to the Villains by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, A Million Junes by Emily Henry, and A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke. I think if you haven’t read these that you would enjoy them.

omg i missed your uploads !! hope you’re feeling much better !! happy new year ! 🎉

obsessed with you 🖤

Nice to see you and Figaro. I hope you get in your grad school of choice and your January is less chaotic. My top 2 books were Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang and Diary of a Confused Feminist by Kate Weston.

Little Rot was so so good and now I wanna re read it 😂

TIAAA, I hope your grad apps are going well. I’m finally reading more lit fic so I’m super excited to check out some of your favs!! The secret lives of church ladies is one of my favorite books this year and probably of all time lol beautifully written short story collection about black women navigating sexuality and religion, highly recommend 🫶🏾

the way you talk about books is so engaging!! love it

yippee!!

So great to see a video from you again. Counting it as a Christmas present.

Glad to hear you’re doing better! I’d love to see a reading journal review ☺️

love hearing you talk about your fave books!! hoping for more amazing reads in 2025!

Loved the video❤ Also the hotdog is so cute🤩🤩

YOU’RE BACK!!!! Lol I missed your videos!!! I ran back ASAP ❤❤❤

I missed seeing uploads from you! I hope your 2024 has been great Tia!

She’s back!! 👋🩵

Whats your favorite book? Mines the hidden kingdom, wings of fire. St. Sutherland.

I would like to preemptively take the cake for the most obscure question. When your cat jumped off and up on the bed they made the same sound that my recently passed fur baby used to make. I have never known how to describe that noise…how do you describe it?

“The matrix” was really good! Definitely not for everyone, but I enjoyed it

OMG THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR MY BELOVED (I lost count of how many times I've read it at this point). Highly recommend it! Thank you for including recs I don't usually see in queer rec videos! Added a few to my TBR!

Missed this the day it came out. Hope you are well and reading good things. 🌭

omg, 8th graders were so hard to sub. then next year when I subbed freshmen.. they were all so much nicer! lmao

The Veronica Speedwell books are great!!❤❤❤😊

I am just a kid can I do this ?

Hiii do you know about nail polish thinner ? Cause if not you might be interested in it

I love your bookshelf, where is it from

Anyone looking for a good kombucha brand, I highly recommend Humm. Its the only one i drink, it's SO GOOD. The nasty vinegar tastes is extremely mild and its fizzier than soda. The mango is the best imo (also i prefer drinking them from the cans rather than bottles but thats just me)

2:20 i like the comics with the cat.

This was a great video. Unfortunately, we don't have Goodwills here in EU, so I only get to shop there when I go on vacation to North America. Meanwhile, I'm living vicariously through you. :D

It's very kind of you to get books for free little libraries. Americanah is a gem, in fact anything written by CNA is a gem. I hope you enjoy reading it.

btw, if you're watching this after mid-october'24, I'm now a very proud Aardvark Book Club affiliate!!! use “tiachu” to get your first box for $4 aardvarkbookclub.com

My new kitty is named Figgy as well❤

Tia, I know you are a big dodgers/baseball fan. curious did you or do you play softball?

November 9 is my fave CoHo book!
