Best Books of 2024 So Far | A Quarterly Wrap-Up
มุมมอง 1105 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is my wrap-up video for January to March of 2024! In it I share my favorite books that I've read so far this year, complain about the price of new paperbacks, and scream into the void. Unfortunately there is a lot of background noise in this video. I filmed using my camera (instead of my phone) and didn't realize until it was too late that my camera is much more sensitive and picks up a lo...

End of Summer TBR!

Yes this was filmed in July, but it's TECHNICALLY still summer. So it's fine. This is the link to the Summer Splash Readathon (hosted by Sally Thames) that I mention multiple times. It is over now!

Double-Suite Dorm Room Tour- Portland State 2016
มุมมอง 8K8 ปีที่แล้ว
My video of my "Double-Suite" Dorm room in the Ondine building at PSU! Once again, I wanted to make this video because when I was looking for a video online before I moved in, I couldn't find one of this particular style of dorm room, at least not one that included the whole room. So here's my video! Now complete with slightly awkward voice over. Starring: My voice and my pillow pet Jared. Musi...
I've heard such amazing things about Abby Jimenez! I've read part of your world and wasn't impressed, but I'm going to have to get into yours truely / just for the summer!
Part of Your World is the weakest of the three in my opinion! (I still liked it, but it made me so frustrated lol) I hope you enjoy the other two! 🥰
TOTALLY agree with you about Her Body and Other Parties! The first story slapped, but none of the others really hit for me
YEAH! I’m so glad it’s not just me haha
"I don't get crushes on fictional characters I either want to be them or steal their gender" is SO relatable wtf. Fire
It’s a vibe 😎
Me the whole video after noticing Delilah Green behind you: 👁️👁️
Ooh yeah!! I really want to get to it soon!! I actually bought it because of your video where you talk about how much you love those books 👀🥰
that copy of Les Mis is a literal brick!!! my copy is split up into parts one and two and i’ve also had mine for YEARS (probably since high school tbh). i’ve read soooo many good books this year and my faves are probably Strange the Dreamer, the monk and the robot duology, and The House on Mango Street! lovely video Fi✨🥰
It’s so big 😭 having it split into 2 parts sounds slightly more manageable but still scary lol. I want to read Strange the Dreamer SO BAD!! And the Monk & Robot books are my faaaaaves 🥰
I recently discovered Ava Reid and now I think I GOTTA read Lady Macbeth.
She’s so good!! I want to read all her books ✨
I can’t wait to read lady Macbeth! I have it on its way to me through my library right now!
Oooh yay!! I hope you love it!! I’m on the holds list at my library and hoping it gets here soon 👀
Loved this, as always! I can always depend on you for a nice cozy time ☺️
Yay!! 🥰 cozy times are very important to me haha
Elizabeth?
omg I’m currently battling small flies in my house so when it went across your screen I thought it was in my house 😅 loved this vlog as always 🥰 mental illness as a plot device is truly the worst! I’m sooo glad you enjoyed happy place! It serving as an ode to friendship and finding yourself as a late 20s/early 30s(?) person is my fave!!
Omg thank you! 🥰 Happy Place was so good, while I was editing this I was like “maybe it is a five star though….” 👀 I loved it!
the stardew music in this made me so happy :) lovely vlog fi!!! (also i know exactly which brand of gf dino nuggets those are omg i love them)
They’re so good!! I ate them like 3 times in this one video, can you tell they’re my hyper-fixation food right now? 😂
I also recently reread the series! I first read it at 22, now at 34, and yeah I'm sitting here like sobbing over these babies killing each other. It really is much more violent than I remember, and it's...intense! Katniss is much more the unwilling heroine than I recall, too. Not interested in love, barely interested in life, kind of a b!tch, honestly pretty relatable. Book 1 is my fave, I was PISSED about the end of 3, and the prequel was really creepy and I loved it.
Love your vibe pocket pal! ☺️🧡
Yay! Thank you! 🥰🫶
Thank you for sharing books you have enjoyed recently .
Of course! Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed! 🥰
I loved Bookshops and Bonedust too and Legends and Lattes too of course .
They are both so good!
Loved the video as always! I also read Tress this year, and was absolutely feral over it. Cozy pirates just really does it for me. I’m so excited for both Murderbot and Sula!
Yay thank you! <3 I kind of want to reread Tress even though it's only been a couple of months haha
i think i can for sure say that i originally came here by accident. but your content is so good i think i have found my favourite youtube channel. (also i think i worded that horribly. i'm trying to say your content is amazing and you're my new favourite youtuber.)
Aw thank you so much!! This means a lot to me. I'm so happy you're here! :)
little weirds is one of my all time favs! can’t wait to hear what you think.
Yay! I’m excited to read it 🥰
im so excited for more vlogs 🥰
Yay!! 🥰
the fact that your original TGH copy is so pristine is honestly so impressive. all my books from childhood are *wrecked* 😂
Idk how it looks like that haha 🤷♀️
this is ripstick from pocket pals (howdy) and i just wanna say i love this video idea, a book on the bottom of my "first added to my tbr" pile is bazaar of bad dreams by stephen king lmfaooooooo
Omg hey! I’m so happy to see you! 🤠💕 and thank you! I want to read more Stephen King haha, Is that one of his short story collections??
@@fi_reads_books yep!! One of his short story collections
Have I recently reread THG? Yes. Did this still influence me to want to reread them again? Also yes. This was so cozy and cute!
Thank you! <3 I feel that haha, even while editing, I was already getting nostalgic for them.
i’m obsessed with all the lucy and yak overalls! absolutely loved this video, fi!!❤️🩹
Yay!! Thank you so much! 🫶 I’m very obsessed with Lucy and yak haha
Where's the Sims Cribz Fi?? 🏠🔥
👀
one of my new fav channels. keep up the great work!!!
Omg thank you! 🥰🫶
@@fi_reads_books no problem!! also two great books that might be a bit outside your normal books are "goodbye, eri" and "uzumaki" (they are my two favourite books, because of their interesting stories)
@@eva.bun.17 Thanks for the recommendation! I love interesting stories. I've heard of Uzumaki but haven't read it yet!
@@fi_reads_books Just a little warning, Uzumaki can be a bit bloody. if you want something less bloody by the same author I would recommend "Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon and Mu" since it is about him and his wife adopting cats and buying a house. but if you want a short story (exactly 30 pages) to show his work, i would recommend "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" (the suspense is so good) which is also kinda blood but still very fun.
or if you have netflix and would rather watch a show, he does have one of those! unfortunately i think it only really shows off his creativity, not really his great story telling.
I loved this! So cozy and sweet. So glad you posted it!
Yay! Thank you! 🥰 me: 1, perfectionism demon :0
this was so cozy, it felt like video calling a friend! the perfect video to rest a little before i continue repotting my plants🪴
Yay! I love that 💕 whenever I film, I feel like I’m chatting with friends, so that is perfect! Happy gardening! 🌱
Legs going numb while filming is a complete buzzkill fr
you said wildwood was set in portland and i got so excited then it went so down hill lol it's such a gorgeous cover though
Ugh I know, I wanted to love it so badly!! Any book set in Portland (or the PNW) I get so excited about!
3:06 understandable 😅 omg yes, im reading narnia rn (my reading order: published years)
The milzbe shiiiiiiiiiirt 💛 Also, just generally, are we clones, platonic soulmates, or long-lost twins? Anyways, love the video, as always! (Also hit me up if you need some Jane Austen hype or convos--she's my GIRL)
Yeeess I love milzbe!! Also we’re definitely at least one of those things! 💖 I will definitely take you up on that Jane Austen offer- which one do you think I should read first?
I just put the video on and I have to pause it to say that I LOVE YOUR TAPESTRY!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Romeo and Juliet is 100% supposed to be a tragedy because none of it needed to happen. Part of that being that they were kids who didn't know what they were doing at all. So you ain't wrong xD
Lmao good to know!!
this is so fun! I joined Goodreads at the end of 2019 so I only have 6 books left that I added to my tbr from that year: Gone Girl, Kindred, High Achiever, Queenie, How we fight for our lives, and Know My Name! 3 are also on my physical tbr so I think I could reasonably do this 👀
Omg nice! Let me know if you decide to do it! 🤩
Wowow yo lookit all those tabs in twin cities! What makes you typically wanna throw a sticky in a book? Also a book that's been on my TBR that I haven't really gotten around to is The Left Hand of Justice. I've wanted to get into LeGuin for a while especially with her being my hometown queen but I haven't been really reading any fiction books at all 😅 I'll probably try to run through it over my summer break.
Hey!! :)) Honestly I mostly tab based on vibes haha, sometimes something just sticks with me & i want to remember it/flip back to it! Sometimes it's something that made me laugh. It kinda depends! Oooh I love LeGuin but I haven't read that one yet! Maybe we could do a little book club moment this summer!
So many of my favorites on this list! 😊
Yay! This makes me so happy :))
Hey friends! Thanks to everyone who voted on my poll asking which video you'd want to see first. I wound up getting this one done first, so here it is! The other video that y'all voted for will be up soon. 🥰
THE KERMIT SHIRT
This is a Muppets household first and foremost!!
Dang, we really seem to be on the same wavelength! Love the video, love the vibe 😊 (ps I could fully cry over the mushroom mug)
I have almost the exact same taste in books as you!! I'm so curious to watch more from you and get some good recs -- I'm so glad to have stumbled across your channel 😊I loved to see Foundryside and Peter and the Starcatchers on your shelves. Also enjoyed the background music, is one of the tracks from Stardew Valley? ⭐
Omg yay that’s so cool! Thank you! 🥰 those series are both so good- I might be due for a Peter and the Starcatchers reread at some point soon. And yes, it is! I love Stardew 💕
This was really fun to watch! I love how beat-up and well-loved so many of your books seem, they have been loved to death. Also, definitely stealing the bookmark mug
Can't wait to find out what you put inside that little wood mushroom
Haha stay tuned!
ahh! so happy i came across your video! i also really loved the book thief!! i’m still watching but really enjoying this vid, thanks for sharing your collection 🫶🏼
Yay! The Book Thief is so good... I kinda want to reread it soon! Thanks so much for your comment <3
So glad to have found your channel! Both our reading and decor tastes are eerily similar. I feel like I can take your book recommendations to heart, whereas with other Booktubers I have to take them with a grain of salt because our sensibilities might not be the same. So many of these books I have read and loved, or are already on my TBR! Looking forward to seeing your book collection grow and to more of your content.
Thank you, this means so much to me! Welcome aboard, I'm so happy to have you here. <3
Hi, Your fancy classics look beautiful. 😊
Thank you so much! :)
I really like your idea of having a specific place for your bookmarks. Thank you for sharing your book shelves with us .
Thank you! It definitely makes it easier when they're all in one spot.
I love Mandy, too! I never hear anyone talk about that book!
I never do either, but it's such a good one!
i love your decor style, its so cozy! i’ve been getting back into reading lately and this was so perfect! you’re so cute :)
Aw thank you so much! 🥰
Loved this video! Btw, is that the Sims 2 soundtrack I hear?!? Ugh the nostalgia 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much! I’m so glad! And yes it is haha! I have so much nostalgia for the sims 2 😭♥️
@@fi_reads_booksit’s literally my fave out of the four of them! 🥰 I’ve just subbbed btw, can’t wait to see more videos!
@@NickellesNook Yay! I just subbed to you as well! 💖 and honestly same, it's the best one in my opinion🥰
Some of these are well known, but others were new to me {perhaps entered to my future TBR list}. The cover for divergent looks great. Watching this only now, I wonder if you have made a similar one for 23. Do you have a Goodreads account to follow? I hope you have a great reading year. One of my favorite books is The lovely bones by Alice Sebold, perhaps consider giving it a try.
