Hi, my name is Darbi. Thank you for clicking on my video :) I started this channel as a fun hobby and a place where I can talk about books and connect with other bookish nerds online. In this video, I'm discussing why I didn't like "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin, but how I discovered that books probably touch us all in different ways, depending on the life stage we read...

    Hey, Darbi, I will gladly read Toni with you, and I have “The GoldFinch,” I will gladly read that with you as well. I have Beloved in my collection, and I need to read that. Goldfinch was made into a movie too.

      @@Burneeka Hi Burneeka, I didn’t know about the Goldfinch movie! I’ll have to check it out after I read the book. I would love to hear your thoughts about both books after reading them! I cheated and finished The Bluest Eye last week. It was too good to put down. “Beloved” is a great suggestion, too, and I may need to add it to my list. It’s another one of Toni’s that I want to read. Thank you for leaving a comment!! ☺️📚

    Hello there! great video. I've just joined a feminist reading club here in Portugal (where I'm from) and they will be reading handmaid's tale so I will be rereading it ahahah but honestly I need lists like yours all the time because I feel like I read more male than female authors (because it's also what we have available) but I hate and I'm always trying to read more books written by women

      @@JosLiteraryJourney yes, I totally understand! One day, I found myself thinking, “why am I always reading books about women written by men? Aren’t we the ones who know our own experiences better than them?” So I started purposefully seeking out more female authors. Please let me know which female authors you read this year! ☺️

    Hi, Darbi! I'm looking forward to hearing about all bookish things you want to share with us. From an oldie content creator to a newbie, welcome aboard. We're so glad to have you here! (And nice to see other booktubers out there being unashamedly low-tech!)

    I look forward to seeing more of your video, especially since you will be talking about books that not many people on here are discussing. I don't like the YA stuff or the best sellers either, so I am always looking for channels to watch that feature different types of books from the average.
