Gender Queer was my last 5-star read. I love how you succinctly describe the books you adored.
Ooh I'll check it out! Ah thank you! It was quite tricky, seeing as I'm used to having 5 ish mins to talk about one book 😅
Great to hear you talk about books again! My 5-star reads in 2023 are Crow Lake by Mary Lawson, Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, O Caledonia by Elspeth Parker, Germinal by Émile Zola and Wade in the Water by Nyani Nkrumah (the last one a must-read if you like To Kill a Mockingbird).
Thank you so much! It's lovely to be back ☺️ This sounds like such a good list! I will be checking all of these out 👀 x
I loved The Woman in White too! The elegance of the writing is so joyous! I'm also excited to read Our Missing Hearts because I've loved other Celeste Ng books. My latest five-star book was Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty :)
Yes, he is such an elegant writer isn't he? Have you read anything else by him? I'm wondering where to go next. I enjoyed Our Missing Hearts! Didn't love it quite as much as Little Fire Everywhere, though. Ooh I still haven't read any Liane Moriarty!
So nice to hear your thoughts about Riambel by Priya Hein! We also really love Claire Keegan 😍
Thank you so much for sending me it! I loved it. And Claire Keegan is 👌
Thanks you for this video!I prefer when you detail the books.It is more interresting to know the resume and your point of view about the books than just the grades(sorry i'm not english speaker).
Thank you for watching! I completely understand. Unfortunately because I had a long break and had so many books to talk about I couldn't discuss them all in detail. Back to normal in upcoming videos though!
you always describe your books so eloquently ❤Will you be trying the new S A Chakraborty novel she just brought out? I know you loved city of brass (as did I!!) xx
Thank you so much Ruth! I've had a lot of practise 🤣 Yes I definitely will! I'm so excited for it 😍 Will you be reading it soon? X
@@JasmineReads yes I definitely will!! I've seen it so many times in Waterstones and have had to drag myself away from it, it's such a beautiful copy... and the map!!!xx!😍
I'm reading Wilkie Collins now, but The Moonstone.
Oooh I need to read more Wilkie Collins now!
Demon Copperhead is my 5 star read. Best book I have read in 3 years since Hamnet.
Yes, I am so excited to read Demon Copperhead! Hearing nothing but amazing things 😍
I love hearing your recommendations. Thank you for sharing. I've just started Middlemarch by George Eliot.
Thank you so much for commenting. That is lovely to hear 😊 Enjoy Middlemarch - it's a treat!
@@JasmineReads Thank you!
Alan Garner's BEST books - The Weirdstone of Brasingleman and Elidor. Philip Madoc reading Weirdstone on Audio takes the story into orbit. Especially if you listen in bed!
Oooh okay! I may give him another chance, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon 😅
Plrase do, you won't regret it.
New subscriber here. Here are a few of my most favorite books read in 2023:

Welcome Ned! Thanks so much for watching. I also read Middlemarch last year and really enjoyed it! I need to get to Moby Dick at some point

Oooh thank you, I haven't heard of most of these! Let me get googling 😍 x
I am a very slow reader and am still on the latest Robert Galbraith book. I have plenty of other stories lined up though and I'm also going through my poetry collection in surname alphabetical order (so Kim Addonizio first).
Oooh that's such a good idea!
