“Yap sesh” will now become part of my lexicon
love a good yap sesh ALWAYS 🗣️
brb adding play it as it lays to the stack of books i need to reread!! the anthropologists sounds so good too. love how beefy and varied this wrap up was!!
ooooh i think you’d get along quite well with The Anthropologists !!! would love to know your thoughts!
they way you speak about books!!! so articulateee 🔥got me excited to read some of these books even if they aren't books i'd normally be interested in
ahhh king !!! thanks for tuning in! always peepin at your Goodreads to see you scream, textually, about books and love it! here too ! 🤌🏼✨
also... WE LOVE MIFFY
We do love Miffy 😊😊
truly the best and puts me in a good mood always ✨🐰
Foster is a true gem. So glad to see you read it. I read it first a few months back and just read Small Things Like These in June. There's just something about Irish writers. They do the 'feels' better than anybody else. You're so spot on when you talk about Keegan's economy of prose. Another great vlog, Nathan.
honestly they do!!! they’re so gentle with feelings, and how they carry them out in fiction, and i hope to read more! what did you think of Small Things Like These ?
@@nathansnook I didn't like it as much as Foster, but it is still worth the read. The subject matter is rather depressing. About the scandal of how the Irish Catholic church abused women and how a man discovers the abuse one day on his own.
@@seamusgaelic6447 this is up my alley!! i might have to do it!
Who knew Lemony Snicket was writing essays! Thanks for putting this on my radar. 20 books in a month is crazy 😅 Love it!
yes! Daniel Handler is incredible!
and this month was one where i just spiraled 🫠 donut worry july is a lot more tame!
Here for the Miffy tshirt. I need you to tell me the way IN to Didion, what’s the perfect start to her work. Sooo excited for Toward Eternity and for hosting Anton in London next month. Eek. Sounds like I need to read Medusa of the Roses. Thrilled you loved the Strout, she’s one of my favs.
EEEEEP CANT WAIT TO SEE THE UPDATES WITH YOU AND ANTON ✨🫂
please do read Medusa of the Roses it’s 🫦 and funny you mention Didion because guess what’s coming out next 👀
and all hail miffy !!! 🐰
Nice reviews Nathan. Have a great summer.
thank you! you too! 🌞
It makes me so happy that you loved Foster! I've read it back when it was originally published and I was raving about it to everyone since then. It is maybe the book I gifted to people the most. It's just perfection. Great that Keegan finally gets the attention she deserves in the last couple of years.
it’s such a wonderful gift to give to people! love that you’ve done that! i get the hype now and glad she’s getting all the attention! makes my heart so full 💗
Lol i love and look forward to seeing your various desk paraphernalia framing you in these yap vids. Yes foster yes. Keegan completionist, yes. I think im gonna take after dark with me to my hi trip. Ahh im getting the anthropologists in the mail soon i can’t wait!!! Wait…im not your therapist? ❤
my desk is always…cluttered.. ㅠㅠ i desperately need to be a Keegan completionist 🫠 and eep! can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Savas! ✨💛
This is my first vid of yours and its sm fun!!
thanks for being here 💫 your presence matters :)
such a fun month of reads! love the variety!! i've heard such different takes on the ministry of time lol it seems like such an odd little book. we gotta start using "netflix writing" as a descriptor a lot more!
honestly i think it’s happening in the industry and i can’t unsee it! i swear netflix writing is a thing 😭😭
foster is absolutely incredible. i cried like a baby LMAO
UGH i felt I was right there at the funeral and THE END 😭 can make me weep forever
Matthew Barney and Kara Walker were both artists of my art school years.
I need that Savas!
omg whaaaa?? what an incredible education! incredible that you got to learn about them! and always love Walker’s work whenever i get a chance to see it 🤌🏼✨
i looove yr lote review lol
i wanna read the anthropologists damnit! i wanted an arc 😭
it’s being released soon i’m sure you’ll find it on a New York stoop soon ! 😭
@@nathansnook yes yes i know but i’m impatient 👅
Play It As It Lies was the second thing I read by Joan Didion (the first was her essay on keeping a journal, which omg is so good!) and it ripped my heart out but I really loved it. I read it on the Libby app and thought it was so good i went to Barnes and Noble and bought a copy. It is well worn and well annotated (also the first book i ever thought to annotate so that's cool too!)
@@KetchupCanvas i think that’s the move tbh! loving a book you borrowed from the library so much that you went out to own a copy of it! physical media in this regard is so important!
On Keeping a Journal is an essay i revisit from time to time! that and On Self-Respect !
The ministry of time being a Netflix book is highly accurate
omg so glad someone agrees and so glad i’m not the only one that found this book to be meh 😭😭😭
"Anyway, this is not good" HAHAHA
🦧 I speak truths !!!
Love your videos. Have a great week!
tysm you too! :)
I really also enjoyed the new Elisa Gabbert. What a treat to just open it up, read an essay. I keep forgetting to talk about. The new Maggie Nelson was a little too all over the place for me. My brain wasn’t in the mood just then.
i felt the Nelson was definitely scattered, felt like something she wrote in between years and other books so it doesn’t have that highly curated and concise feel to them in comparison to her other essay collections! and i get it! if the brain isn’t ready for Nelson, breaks are necessary 😭
Nathan what’s your hack to fast reading? I can only read 2 books at most in a month.
talk to no one. don't leave the house. go home early. don't overstay welcomes. pick up the book, not the phone. wake up and read. go to bed and read. highlight. take notes. let the thoughts course, let them bleed into the pages so you're there too. get to the end. read at all times of wait. waiting for buses, waiting for trains. waiting for food, waiting for friends.
*but also this is coming from someone who sleeps so little because i'm so fearful of all the things i can't get done because there are so few hours in the day and i eat books like i eat food, for nourishment, joy, and literal survival :S
omg lovee
thanks for watching :)
God ur my multi lingual god like all hail nathan FRFR!!
FOR REAL
at this point i feel like I speak no language at all but ty lovelies 😭😭😭
wait fuck can someone tell me where that beginning piano tune is from?? my brain is melting trying to figure it out
Ryuichi Sakamoto - M.A Y in the Backyard
@@nathansnook TY omg I investigated poorly. I thought it was from cmbyn but only listened to the opening credits and then went to listening to the entire soundtrack of boy and the heron
miffffyyyy
✨🐇
It's funny that you said The Ministry of Time would work better as a Netflix show because the book is literally a rip-off of a spanish TV show 🤠😬
@@enaravaz i just read up on all the controversy of the book and it’s wild how not even in themes is it similar, but literally title 😭😭😭
