I don't think I've ever been so mindblown by a book as I was reading Thunderhead. The series as a whole I feel isn't perfect but what Neil Shusterman did with Thunderhead is honestly so incredible I still can't wrap my head around it.
On a sunbeam was amazing, I loved it so much. It’s a webcomic originally and the art is just breathtaking beautiful online which unfortunately I think didn’t translate as well in printed form but still beautiful.
Roofstaat is misschien wel een goeie voor Nederlandse geschiedenis! Verder is Anton de Kom fantastisch! En voor fictie: Astrid Roemer is een in haar soort, echt heel bijzonder proza. Ook Dubbelspel van Frank Martinus is erg goed.
if you do get a dutch equivalent of "Black and British" I'd love to hear it too - I know there is one book out there called "Wit Huiswerk" but from what I've heard it doesn't really cover the more ancient histories (Although I'm not sure since I haven't had a chance to pick it up yet).
Have you read A Song For a New Day by Sarah Pinsker? It's also about a pandemic and the incorporation of the online world in our real lives (which we've seen with Covid).
I'm glad you decided to catch up with what you read *then* with how you look *now* - you're looking gorgeous! 💕 I loved The Water Cure as well and still need to get to her most recent book. And I've been looking for more graphic fiction so On a Sunbeam sounds great. Happy Christmas to you! 🎄
You're a murderino!?!? Ahh I had no idea! SSDGM! The Five was okay for me.. I feel like I didn't know enough about Jack and the novel focused so much on the women which is great I just wish I'd researched the case more in order to connect with it better if that makes sense?
I went on a Jack the Ripper tour years ago, so I've even been to all the locations. Hadn't even considered how much knowledge you need, so thanks for bringing that up!
I read that this year, but it wasn't quite for me! But I think I might just not like graphic memoirs in general. Have you read any of her other graphic novels?
@@booksandquills I've read are you listening? and didn't really vibe with it, though the art was beautiful. I tend to skew towards memoir and contemporary fiction in general so i think it's just preference!
I just couldn't do my 2021 fave reads video before catching up with last year's faves first! Enjoy ❤️
Omg my TH-cam JUST told me about this. WELCOME BACK! 😍😍
Thank you! ❤️

It's so refreshing when the plot isn't predictable at all! 😍

I actually just bought Wij slaven van Suriname, but will report back if I find anything else!
@@booksandquills I was just coming here to recommend Wij slaven van Suriname haha, great to see that you've bought it!
@@Larissa_KD Thank you! It's also being translated into English in 2022!
I absolutely love to hear about your favourite books of the year! ☺️

Never heard of it before, will have a look! Thank you :)
I enjoyed reading Station Eleven, set in a post pandemic world.
I'm glad you decided to catch up with what you read *then* with how you look *now* - you're looking gorgeous! 💕
I loved The Water Cure as well and still need to get to her most recent book. And I've been looking for more graphic fiction so On a Sunbeam sounds great.
Happy Christmas to you! 🎄
Thanks Eric! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. :)
Rushed up as soon as I got the notification🤯💕

Also yes, I LOVE the podcast and was so happy I got to see them live in London :D
Absolutely loved Tillie Walden's graphic memoir Spinning! One of my fav reads of 2021

@@melodiesandmemories7739 I don't think I have, will have a peek if the library's got it :)
LOVED Scythe and Thunderhead but The Toll was a huge disappointment. I ended up having to dnf it.
Me too! I did eventually get through The Toll but i was also disappointed ☹️ Such a shame. Still love the first two though
