    As soon as I received the notification for this video, I grabbed my writing pad and pen, fully aware that I would be adding a few more titles to my ever-expanding TBR list. I haven't been on TH-cam for a while, so I was delighted when your video appeared in my feed.

    "a botanical daughter", "lost
    in the garden", "private rites"
    and "a woman of pleasure"
    will probably be among my
    next readings, due to your
    contagious enthusiasm! 😊
    (the banana break, so funny!)

    I don't read enough new books. I did read Aftershock at your -insistence- recommendation, and it completely blew me away. And I'm sure I'll love Private Rites when it's out in the US in December. I'm looking into some of the others in the meantime.

    Great reviews/recommendations as usual. To be clear, my fave Almada is Not a river.
    Btw, you're supposed to peel it the other way around to avoid the 'strings', trust me. 🍌 😅

    I’ve only read two 2024 releases so far, and both were just okay 😅 I will be reading Private Rites as soon as I can get my hands on it though! It sounds so fantastic, and I loved Our Wives Under the Sea. I’ve also been meaning to pick up A Botanical Daughter. I should get on that

    As someone who doesn't tend to read recently published books, I appreciate you discussing some of the best you've read from this year. Added a couple to the list, and who knows, perhaps I'll read some this year (cough*Not a River, Private Rites, Aftershock*cough). There are also a couple writers on your list I want to read, so I will at a minimum pick up one of their books. As an aside, love your shirt and background bunny.

    Great video. As you talked about each book I thought to myself I'll start with that one, no wait this one, no the one from the Argentinian, wait Korean, no no the Chinese writer Aftershock, because I live in California and we're overdue plus I like books about ordinary people and their past relatives. Dammit I'll just get them all, (except the ones I've already bought because of your earlier reviews), you make them all sound excellent and intriguing.

    Not A River was my favourite surprise of the year. When I saw it in the shop I didn't know she'd published it - and promptly lunged for it. I'm so enamoured by the conflict here between determination, obstinacy, identity, and the hopelessness that's still staring them in the face. So much crammed into an 85 page book.

    Soooo interested by a botanical daughter as well 🤩
    Thank you for this video
    Amazing as always and Have a nice month of july 🐳🐌🦋

    I want to read Tchaikovsky but have no idea were to start, any recommendation? (would be a good video too, I think)

    • @ReinReads
      @ReinReads 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You really can’t go wrong. Everything I’ve read by Tchaikovsky has been stellar. If you’d prefer a shorter novel/novella then maybe Elder Race. If you prefer longer books and series than Children of Time trilogy is something special.

    I really loved the vibes/ atmosphere of lost in the garden. The slow build. It felt like a perpetual summer. The book as a whole was sort of ruined for me though by Heather. I've never read a more annoying character in my life and you have to spend so much time with her
