วีดีโอ

Ive had a few books with lots of water damage and mold but other than that i love them.

I thought she’s Japanese + Korean parents ? ❤

What do you mean by you’re not compassionate? Also I loved this book as well.

Thank you Thank You for saying what you said in the first 6 minutes of this video because I believe a lot of people went into this book expecting rainbows and unicorns with a little bit sadness in it. You described this book beautifully - makes me want to re-read it for the 4th time. :) Love the video

I love how you selected a different colour for each event, like pink for caring and loving. I initially put only blue because the book is blue and I didn't wanna ruin the aesthetic but then I ran out of blue and used other colours. But I love your idea and will use it in the future ❤ i loved this book more than words, I've read it twice, 7 years apart and did not forget one single thing and even knowing what was about to happen, i still ugly cried at the end. I particularly loved the "Dear Comrade" chapter because it's such an accurate and heartbreaking depiction on the depression and grief that comes with losing someone who we love 😢

no idea who you are i just saw the way you marked your book and clicked instantly

Just tore through this bad boy in 4 days and I feel like zombie. I already assumed what happened in the last few pages was going to happen so I was prepared. Like, there just wasn't any other direction this story was going to take imo. I wasn't prepared for the situation the car and just how graphic and unnecessarily cruel Hanya was going to be with the brutality of ot. The fact that all he had to go on was a birthmark is just... Ugh. My poor, beautiful boys 😭 Masterpiece. Wish I'd never read it though 😂

I just finished this book and the effect it had on me was honestly visceral. You're the first person on youtube to pinpoint what is so special about this book and I couldn't agree more. I didn't think a work of fiction could change me that way A Little Life did. Even if the characters were fictional, they brought me to look at people in a different light. You can never know the extent of someone's story and the weight they carry on their shoulders. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, this book had a tight grip on my heart - the way Hanya described Jude's feeling of hopelessness and his outlook on life is something a lot of people relate too, even if his story is revolting and has no similarities with ours. Amazing review, thank you ❤️

I discovered thriftbooks yesterday and bought my first 3. Super obsessed, kinda scared because ill have to budget and be careful not to spend too much on them lol

You seem like you'd be great to b around

I super love this video! Been looking for someone who ordered books there that in acceptable and good condition because just like you I love battered books. I love other people’s annotations too. Glad that I found you!!! I’m not really into perfect or new conditions too. They’re too bland for me lol 😄

I love the smell of old books

Hi sister I am looking to buy book from this website this video help me so much I can’t explain . May Allah bless you

i adore this book so much and hearing my thoughts from someone else in a well-articulated way was great! i'm also thinking of getting a tattoo about this book but i can't decide if i want to get your tattoo(my favorite chapter as well) or x = x. anyways loved your review!!

In the different quotes in the book it gives me a perspective on what is important in life. I had got it for Christmas and will read it soon

I think you’re the first person I’ve seen talk positively about this book 😅

I got a kick out of you liking really used books, and how you buy acceptable rated and good rated books. It was adorable how you were so thrilled. It’s all the things I dislike!!! I always look for very good and like new books. There’s a book out there for everyone!!!

Thank you so much for this review. I love how you mentioned in the beginning you need to be in a good space before reading and I totally agree. This book is absolutely amazing, my favorite thus far and how Hanya literally turned the heat up :) I've seen so many review about how it's basically trauma porn and there's no plot and opinions are valid, but I just feel like thats surface level, because the underlying message is just so much more. I can honestly ramble on more, but again thank you for your review.

I'm so glad to find someone on TH-cam that likes used. books and cracked spines. I feel embarrassed to show my book collection because all my books are thrifted, with brown pages and most books with cracked spines because other people have thrifted books but books that looks new.

OMG!! The moment you showed your tattoo, my jaw dropped, ever since I've finished this book, I've been dying to get 'The Happy Years' or 'Jude & Willem' tatted on me. This book will forever be my favourite. It has taught me so much about life, about friendship, that I wouldn't have known otherwise.

All my books look brand new because I try my best to keep them almost the same way I first got them, it just pains me when I see a book in bad shape, maybe because I don't have access to so many books and the ones I have are like my babies Some of those books might as well have had previous owners who were just like me and kept them in good shape until they decided to give it away or sell it

Omg I have the exact same tattoo!! I got mine on the back of my lower calf tho, also my first tattoo :D Love this book so much

By the last chapter, I just wanted it to be over. I don't know why this book is so recommended. I am one of those people who read it because it was so talked about. I wouldn't say I LOVED it. But ofcourse, it was well written, for a novel where there is not particular time period that they are following. But it was just horrifying. In some scenes, I was like "wow, is she making this up?!?". And surprisingly, I only cried during happy moments, and the "sad" ones just made me irritated and mad. I would highly recommend God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, it also deals with difficult topics, but the writing is out of the world, I cried while reading that.

You don't look bad at all!

Love Simon is also on Hulu

The Hate U Give movie is out and it’s on Hulu.

Are they fake books from India or something?? These deals are insane!!

Great video!

I loved your review and the tatoo!

thank you so much for this video!!! i’m about to order from their app and this video helped so much :) this is an edit but i’m watching this now and i was actually just about to buy “the stand” lol i love stephen king

I hated it, literally just trauma porn and what makes it worse is she admitted to not doing any research on how trauma affects you. It also definitely needs trigger warnings especially when the description of self harm and sexual assault are so long and graphic.

And this January, we are finally having a new book from her! I am so excited. Nice, nice discussion btw.

a little life is sitting on my bookshelf and i’m so excited to read it

Literally my No.1 novel of all time.

you speaking about people reading their books almost closed (just so they dont break the spine) is literally me😂😂. my books usually stay in the same condition that i got them in even after i finish them. great video :).

thank you for this review! others that i watched hadn't ordered any "acceptable" quality books, and/or were very particular about how their books looked. i agree that worn books are much better lol

You should check out my gothic romance novel '40,000 Words'. It follows Adelaide Parabellum as the arrival of poems from beyond the grave causes her to recollect how she had met a stranger at a pond eight years prior. '40,000 Words' can be found by searching '40,000 Words Nicholas Leonard' on Amaz0n. I hope this brief synopsis has interested you.

glad i'm not the only one that hates hardcovers and loved cracked spinesss

first

So detailed! Much appreciated 😊

I love thriftbooks, but yeah their grading is confusing sometimes, a good condition book will look flawless and sometimes a like new book will be in just good condition. I guess multiple people grade them and everyone has different standards so that's probably why but Thriftbooks is still awesome!

Love it!! I go on Thriftbooks all the time, and I love getting used books too! Some books I’ve gotten in “acceptable” look brand new to me!
