Love this ❤

Todd here. Nice video! Just stumbled upon your channel.

Hey gf! I don’t know how I fell upon your channel but I’m loving these recommendations!!! Do you have an insta? I’m terrible on TH-cam but all these recommendations are amazing!!!

What should I read? Doctor Zhivago Hotel? Trivago

This was so cool that you did this I’m just getting back to into reading so I’m enjoying this 🥰❤️

I think Stephen Aryans books would be great as films

hello, do you have a Goodreads account/page?

Hope you are doing good ❤and miss you

I think Toibin is like Toe-Bean and Chiam is said like High-Am. (Hey man are you high? High am!) Great review. I know I should read Catcher in the Rye and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Never got around to it but they are definitely classics.

Some of her book choices were not that good imo.

Love Stephen King - IT is a long read but the character development is 👌 I would just start with that, as daunting as it is!! 11.22.63 is another great book of his. And if you listen to audiobooks then the Pet Sematary audio is amazing. Some of his books are hit & miss, just need to find the ones that work for you ☺️

Great video, I only knew Toibin and my 2024 tbr has just grown by a few books. 😊

You have very naive view regarding what America is all about. Just look up the Puritans and what their deal was, specifically exactly why they emigrated in the first place.

I think there is no deeper reason for recommendation than these are all very popular, accessible and relatively non-controversial “classics”.

The Historian sounds so interesting! Adding it to my tbr 😊 The last book I bought is Kate Morton’s Homecoming, it is a 2023 release but I got it used yay

the bell jar 🥺💞 this is such a fun video, several of these are on my tbr.

The Bell Jar and The Road are two of my faves. both so heartbreaking but so beautiful

Great range of reading recommendations Elly. Have read a few of those but keen to have a look at The Offing and a few of the others you mention. Recently read Tom Lake which references Our Town quite heavily and i reckon you would enjoy too. I don't really think about the season when i choose books, but a few I will be reading this summer are Anne Enright's The Wren, The wren, Wifedom by Anna Funder, and Death of a Bookseller by Alice Slater. Nice to have you back.

It is winter here ❄️ but I found Our Town in a local bookstore, so very excited to read it! Great recommendations as always 😊

Had a 'huh?' moment thinking, it's December love, then remembered Australia exists! 😂

Wow that’s a lot of D. H. Lawrence! I will have to see now if my used book store has Sons and Lovers, as well as Our Town (I do remember that scene from Stardust!!) I just finished Godkiller by Hannah Kaner, and my last 5 star was the Hollow Places by T Kingfisher 😊

Really great to see you back. I really enjoy hearing about the wide variety of books you read.

Great job summarizing so many books so quickly! Ineed to reread Beartown, I loved it so much. (Sadly I didn’t love the other books in the series as much, especially The Winners which was a DNF.)

My local libraries often have used book sales where you can fill a bag with whatever and it's only $5. So, yeah, since it doesn't break the bank, I have picked up quite a few books simply because of pretty covers on those occasions. And some of them I've read and hated but have not gotten rid of. Because they are SO PRETTY! 🤗 Plus, I might need them if I ever start my TH-cam channel and do some of those book tag things. 😊

Great video! I added the White Girl to my tbr, I don’t think I read from any Australian authors before, so going to give it a go 😊

If you like beach town thrillers I'd definitely recommend The Drowning by Bryan Brown who is an Aussie!

You always put so many books on my radar! I adore you channel so much ❤

Those are pretty covers

Leon, that's si funny😊

Elly.. i see ' a fine balance' just sitting pretty there.. its such a good book. Have you read it yet? I hope you do soon if you havent yet 😊

So glad you're back! For me, the last book that made me cry just out of sadness for humanity was Amygdalatropolis by B. R. Yeager

a woman is no man is definitely a heavy hitter

You're backkkkk ❤❤❤❤ finally 😊😊

Are you still continuing with the Oprah challenge? Even if it continues into 2024 I’d still be really interested to continue watching the reading vlog series. Welcome back!

Raeleen from the Books Unbound podcast says October is for spooky and December is joyous, so November is for crying 😿

Nice to see you gain.😊

Finally, new video. Welcome back❤❤

So happy to see you back :).

Welcome back!

absolutely adore this video idea , and i've been wanting to read Virgin Suicides so your review was helpful!

Hope you are okay. Would love to see more videos from you!

I love how you've arranged your books as well. Will you be doing a bookshelf tour? <3

I like your videos! My 2nd time watching this one. YOur bookshelf looks good Btw, i thought the book mentioned in Serendipity was something else, Love in the Time of Cholera?

Wow very lovely bookshelves it resembles so much my new one that I ordered recently but with a brown color as my home furniture is brown but there is a difference in one thing that I don't have such English books collection which makes me so sad because English books are so expensive in my country and I can barely have some, the books I've collected through my entire life is Arabic and french as I am an author, because my country is fluent in french more than English, if you want to get rid next time of some books I will be glad to receive them in my home and I will be thankful indeed. By the way I love the way that you can build a new shelves to the ordinary ones wow that's so nice to have more rooms to more books.

Elly...I am really enjoying this Oprah book club series and how you review books...I just love it 😊. I am so looking forward to what you read next. Toni Morrison is my absolute favorite author. For Song of Solomon, if you do a TH-cam search for "Toni Morrison Song of Solomon"...she explains in an interview some of what she was trying to accomplish when she wrote the book. She has done lengthy interviews for all of her books and I have watched them many times...they're addictive.

I love your Oprah reviews!

Jane Hamilton's other book, A Map of the World, was the first Oprah book I ever read. It was really good. And it got made into a movie! As did some of my other favorites, Back Roads, House of Sand and Fog, and White Oleander. 👍 (P.S. I just found your channel and I see you started quite recently. Well, I'm enjoying your videos so far. Good luck!)

"And then she lost all of her money..." *Can't stop laughing", looooool idk why but I started laughing too, great vid as always Elly

Congrats on 1k!!! Your content is great, and you talk about books that no one else ever mentions ❤
