Recently finished Homegoing and it was a 5 ⭐️ for me. Hope you enjoy.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

About Black Sun - balling their eyes out had me chuckling, because of how the first book starts (which isn't funny at all, just very topical... you'll see 😅) Great TBR for October, Gabby! 😜 Have a fantastic August! 💖🌸

This is a good TBR for the month. I think you’re really going to love Homegoing! You can def read 7 books. You got this!

I love your TBR game. So many great books on your Aug list.

Just finished Brotherless Night a couple weeks ago and am glad I read it . Haven’t read Homegoing , but I read Transcendent Kingdom and thought it was excellent. Read The Book Thief years ago and still remember it , which doesn’t happen w me unless it’s good . 📖🪱💚

Homegoing will mark you like no other book. I have yet to meet anyone who has said a negative comment/review on the book.

That is an impressive reading list for the month. I'm reading some "trash" books for GarbAugust while also continuing with my box of paperbacks project.

Great TBR! I loved The Book Thief, and the audiobook was really good! I’m hoping to read Homegoing before the year ends, so I look forward to hearing your thoughts if you get to that one! For August I’m hoping to read Stone Blind, Love and Other Words, Parable of the Talents, Pachinko (curious about your thoughts on that one haha), and currently working through Oathbringer 😊

I discovered your channel through this video. Happy Birthday & Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

So brave of you to start wheel of time 😂 because 14 books…whew! An Inconvenient Cop sounds like an interesting read so I’m definitely adding it to a TBR

I love Their Eyes Were Watching God. It’s one of my fav classics. I agree with you about the romance in Robert Jordan’s books. It’s not done well and seems forced to me. I also get annoyed by the characters constant critiques about the opposite sex. I’m more interested in the world but have been finding hard to move beyond book 5. Hope it goes better for you.

The House of Plain Truth is so intriguing. Also happy birthday month!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🥳

The Townsend Family Recipe For Disaster was so good! I finished it this weekend. I couldn't put it down. I'm hoping hoping Shauna writes a romance next (a light romance).

Pachinko was unforgettable! I hope you enjoy! 😀

Happy Birthday! I hope your reads all work out.

Ouuu I see a few titles I wanna read 👀 I loveeeeee the hair btw!❤

P.S. I don’t like reading synopses either 😅

Happy Birthday!!! I’ve had Must Read Books on my shelves for quite some time. You’ve inspired me to bump it up on my TBR 💜 Just added Summer on the Bluffs to my TBR! Sounds so good 😊

I am a newbie to your channel, and I enjoyed your book review! Have a great week!

I trust you from you said you DNF Before I Let Go. I finished it but it was a struggle and I didn’t love the second book either. I DNF the second book in the series either. 😊

So many great reads! Where to start?? Definitely going to try There, There and Anna Maria and the Fox first. I love a long series to get immersed in, so I will explore Wheel of Time as well. Glad you enjoyed April and May reading!

There There sounds really good 😊😊 a great wrap up!

Love this mix of books! I’m looking forward to There there. I have the sequel. Happy to see you loved the beautiful ones because I haven’t seen anyone talk about it.

Hi Gabby, I enjoyed watching you share your thoughts on the books you read. I was quiet surprised that you DNF'ed before I let go. I love that you went against popular opinion. hahahahahahahaha. I am intrigued by there, there. I will keep it on my radar.😊

I'm reading Before I Let Go right now. I almost DNFd it but I'm still going. I agree with your assessment, although I think they're starting to get to the emotional connection part. I'm curious to see if that aspect continues throughout the last sections. I definitely prefer to have a lot more emotional connection and not just physical in my romance reads. Eye of the World sounds interesting! Also definitely looking up An Inconvenient Cop. Thanks for the recommendations!

I am reading Sanditon this month! I have Austen's unfinished one, plus a finished version called Charlotte. Henrietta Lacks has been on my TBR for ages! I really need to read it. And I just read Their Eyes Were Watching God in June and I really enjoyed it also! Loved the gorgeous prose.

I DNF'd Before I Let Go too. It was too raw for me, and didnt care for the style of writing. I saw Sanditon on Masterpiece too and enjoyed most of it (it got kinda wild for PBS 😂), and want to read the novel. I read Their Eyes Are Watching God last week and it is now my 3rd favorite book of all time. J California Cooper is my favorite author and could tell she was inspired by Zora NH. I finished The Davenports last week too and really enjoyed it. Thanks for recommending Ana Maria and the Fox, it sounds like my speed.

I'm glad you had so many five star reads lately.

Ahhh 5 stars for the Beautiful Ones?!! That makes me so happy. I just read Chanel Cleeton’s newest novel and had a good time so I’m interested in how you’ll feel about Next Year in Havana

I put Next year in Havana on my TBR a long time ago, so thank you for reminding me 😊 the beautiful ones and The leftover woman are now on my TBR as well 😊

Just read The Leftover Woman and absolutely loved it. It was not only one of my most surprising reads of 2024 but a 5* read in May

Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was so good. Good job SG. The Beautiful Ones was a surprisingly good read. Was pleasantly surprised. Peach Blossom Spring is beautiful

IG Scroll - I'm hungry now, too

Oh I hope you love The Beautiful Ones. It’s a much different vibe than the horror, but with the same beautiful writing. If you don’t like it, just lie to me 😂

Hi Gabby, just came across your channel, and subscribed. I actually saw this on another booktuber, and I will be uploading my video talking about the same this week. I am a newbie as well, and my story to starting this is kind of different, but I am glad to have made the video. Happy reading to all book readers.

Yay for unhauling all those books. More space and reasons to buy more books. 😅 I know a few people who will gladly jump on the chance to own some of those books.

Great video! I'm curious about Henrietta's story too, but I haven't gotten around to buying the book. My May TBR has just been reading through the Left Behind Series. I'm also reading Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas.

An Unhaul? My goodness why have I never thought of this! Thank you for posting this. I never thought of doing an Unhaul. Wow! I'm excited. Thank you again. -James

loveeee an unhaul! And ya Babel didn't do anything for me either.

I enjoy unhauls 🤗tfs!

Whoa! You DNF'd _Rebecca_ after 20 pages?!?!?! Such a shame. It is NOT a romance; the story is about Rebecca, not really about The Heroine, or Maxim. But you liked _Jane Eyre_ with a domineering, severely entitled rich guy who is already married and wants a mistress, and a domineering, manipulative religious guy who only values Jane for the work she can do for him? Jane is awesome, but the romance(s) are extremely toxic! I am with you on _Babel_ . I thought the fantasy aspect was interesting. My problem with it is the characterization - ultra-stereotypical and predictable (and hence rather flat).

Congratulations on the 800 subscribers. On the way to 1000. Happy reading.

So interesting hearing your thoughts on babel, it’s such a popular book and I can’t decide if I should pick it up! But that would be the one I’m most surprised you’re unhauling

Try yellow face by rf so good

It was a delightful reading vlog. I added So many beginnings to my TBR

Beautiful Recap! My first time in here from IG, I didn’t know you had a TH-cam channel… I have Excuse me while I ugly cry on my TBR… My recent read that I didn’t expect to enjoy but I loved was The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

In Memoriam by Alice Winn was the first book I finished this year and it blew my mind. Absolutely loved it. I haven’t read anything else even close yet.

House of Marionne sounds right up my alley, definitely adding it to my TBR! I really enjoyed One True Loves but I’m a big TJR fan so 🤷‍♀️😆 My favorite from this first quarter was the Six of Crows duology, I’m absolutely obsessed!!
