Surprised, I've read , 1 or 2 years ago -- before the moive playing. And I have kindle version of for long time, but never read. They are not supposed to be in a 2020 best books list.
I met my first boyfriend this year, we were long distance and edited a magazine together. He recently passed from Cancer which has devastated me and I am totally numb but through the year, he introduced me to some great authors. He introduced me to Jean-Paul Sartre and Beauvoir and the existentialist movement. These authors are incredibly enriching and they added to my personal philosophies on life. I was introduced to Honoré De Balzac and Jan Potocki (The Manuscript Found In Saragossa). We had a wonderful time discussing the politics and philosophies of these novels that so greatly enriched our lives, all the while enriching each other’s lives through our love and connection. He sent me so many books to go through and he was the pinnacle of intelligence and beauty. All of these books greatly improved my personal thought and I went on to discuss these in my personal essays and poetry.
thank you for sharing something so personal. im going to check out these authors you've both recommended. i hope you're doing well, and it doesn't change anything, but i'm so sorry for your loss. you sound like such interesting people to be around and talk to. take care and have a good new year.
sorry for your loss. sending you love, warmth, and healing. i am also a lover of the existentialism movement, and i think it can be SO helpful in accepting death as a part of life and seeing death differently. again, im so sorry you had to go through this. 💜
my top 5 are: 1- the invisible life of Addie Larue 2- the song of achilles 3- the seven husbands of evelyn hugo 4- the Handmaids tale 4- the Villains duology (Vicious + Vengeful) edit: OMG YOU LOVED ADDIE LARUE TOO???

Yass the bell jar is one of my fave books of all time! And I read the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo this year and it is amazing! I cried like a crazy amount 😂
hey noelle, don't know that you'll ever read this but I'm in a pretty bad depressive state this winter and your videos are the only thing I can watch and fully engage with. Hope you've had an amazing year and that your next one is even better.
Top 5: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, the Heartstopper series, Radio Silence, The House in the Cerulean Sea, and A Little Life even though it BROKE me
i love that you're recommending older books as well as newer ones! a lot of book channels/book clubs get sucked into only focusing on the most new and ~disruptive~ books at the moment so it's nice to see someone appreciating the classics
Reading literally helped me mentally to make it to this year , I read 150 books and I’m so proud and I found your channel during this year which made my 2020 amazing . You’re my fave youtuber to watch now and just love hearing you talk .
@@Justine1215 I have a lot of mix feelings about it. I agree with Noelle, I wouldn't recommend it and in some parts I thought I couldn't keep reading it, but besides what the intentions of the author were or how manipulative she may be, it's an amazing book and I think it will stay with me forever even though I don't think I would reread it.
1. Goldfinch 2. Count of Monte Cristo 3. Don Quixote 4. A little life 5. Mythos/Circe (tied) Edit Ready player one is in my top ten books of 2020. I can't believe I understood almost all pop culture references from the last 30 years. This feature helped me relate so much as a geek. The best thing about shining is the depiction of dry alcoholism. Don't recommend it to potential readers though. Green Mile is kings best work along with misery. (Hehe when I typed this I didn't know misery would top your books) Goldfinch is my all time favourite book now.
Dark Matter was my favorite book of 2019, and I loved it and talked about it so much that this and and I listened to it together on audiobook this year and I loved it just as much then.
YESSS IM SO READY FOR THIS. My top 5: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Vanishing Half, My Dark Vanessa, Daisy Jones and the Six, Ready Player One
The Vanishing Half is my top book of the year! I'm definitely not a "read things more than once" type of person, but I'm definitely going to read it again.
I found your channel in march when because of the pandemic, the end of my studies and some other things really were a hard pill to swallow. I was at my lowest! Then, I started watching all your videos, signed up on goodreads, followed you on instagram and threw myself into reading (again). I made it to 58 books this year, besides finishing my law degree and I can‘t thank you enough noelle, as you are a true role model for me and just by hearing you talk, it makes my mood brighten up and I feel relaxed and home! thank you for making my 2020 tolerable. If you were here in Austria right now I would just give you a huge hug! ❤️
You may not see this, but if you do Noelle let me just say you have been a true gem and an actual blessing this year. I came across your channel in May and instantly fell in love. I've watched every single one of your videos and I look forward to your new ones so fucking much. You made a bleak depressing year shine in so many ways, keep striving and doing great! We love watching a beautiful bitch succeed ❤
Top five in no order: The Nickel Boys, All the Light We Cannot See, Jane Eyre, Purple Hibiscus, Small island. Read a lot more this year than I have in the past, partially because of free time but also because of watching you and the reminder of how fun reading is❤️ thank you, thank you, and happy new year Noelle
Subhajit Bag it’s incredible. I read it without knowing really anything about it, and I think it’s better that way. Audiobook for it is really good, I listened on Libby. I will say, first half is very slow and not much happens but the background really highlights the injustice of what happened to the ‘Nickel boys’
Just because I missed a bit of Noelles quirky positive energy totally re watching some old videos… anyone else? Hope that this next stage in life is exactly what you needed and thriving Noelle! Glad we could all share these college years with you! Got me into reading during Covid ! Forever thank you- aka - random stranger in AZ lol
I just discovered you because I'm getting back into reading in 2021 and needed suggestions. I absolutely trust your judgement and plenty of these are now on my list. Thanks so much! Subscribed!
That's so great to hear about Song of Achillies because I've always been intimidated by it for some reason. And YES Hood Feminism! That made it to my "best of 2020" list too!
noelles youtube channel is the reason that I got back into reading at the end of 2020, so my top 5 books of the year are anxious people, an absolutely remarkable thing, red white and royal blue, such a fun age, and the invisible life of addie la rue!
in no particular order, 5 faves of the year are: -The Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver -Everything I never told you by Celeste Ng - Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn - Dig by A.S King - The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver
The audio book for the kiss quotient is fantastic! The narrator does an amazing job of captivating stella‘s insecurities and strengths. Just, how do some say: chef‘s kiss 😊
I feel like the joy you experienced finding misery and the hating game is equivalent to the joy I feel about devoting myself to you and your channel this year!!!! ILY
Read and LOVED the hating game thanks to you ☺️ The stand, the vanishing half, all the light we cannot see, east of Eden and the goldfinch were my top 5 reads of 2020!
Bruh I found her and now I can’t stop watching her. I loved her style, her voice, her enthusiasm. I finally found someone who is as enthusiastic about books as me.✨✨✨
I never planned on reading The Hating Game but I saw you mention it so many times that I asked for it for Christmas, binge read it in two days, and then spent the next day rereading my favorite chapters because there was a giant hole in my heart when I got to the last page and desperately needed more Josh and Lucy. Thank you so much for recommending it so often, it is for sure a new romance favorite!!
ugh the way no matter how I feel when I watch one of your videos, i always and i mean *ALWAYS* feel so much better when i hear you talk and just see you. Of course, you talking about books (which I love so deeply) is one of the reasons but not only that. You have this great positive, lovely, creative, smart energy/atmosphere around you it's reaching me through the display and I'm so thankful for that. I hope you always keep that energy and never lose your beautiful smile. I wish you a happy new year noelle! May 2021 bring you lots of great things like health, love, peace and happiness! Thank you for delighting my moments by sharing videos filled with your opinions about books etc.
my top 5 very random collection of favorites are probably: -the hating game -ready player one -Untamed -call me by your name -i know why the caged bird sings
Can I ask if you liked the CMBYN movie? I read the book without seeing it and I adore the book but I can’t sit through the movie but I adore the cast and the style of it and everything is perfect but I just don’t like it?? Sorry I’m always curious if others enjoyed the movie if they read the book

One of the reasons why I love watching your channel, and that you are one of my favorite booktubers is that even when I disagree with you, I still love the way you talk about them! I am so glad that I discovered you earlier this year when I joined Booktube and that you have blown up! You deserve it. Happy new year.
My top 5 of the year were: The woman in the window - A J Finn The davinci code - Dan Brown The Missing - Jane Casey The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton Behind her eyes - Sarah Pinborough
Ahhhh so many good books on this list!!! I only haven’t read a few and those are on my TBR! 🥰 it makes me so happy how much you love The Hating Game! That book is just so freaking good 😫 and omg everything you said about The Shining is so true and spot on! The book is so different from the movie and I didn’t expect that either since I watched the film like a million times before I read the book haha
First off, I love you Noelle! Secondly, one of the last books must be The Hating game! 😂 Now that that's out of the way, My Top 5 of 2020 were :- 1. Salt to the sea 2. Flowers for algernon 3. My Lady Jane 4. The Sundown Motel 5. The last wish (The Witcher) And many more rereads!
Discovering your channel has been one of the highlights of 2020! I’ve surpassed my 2020 goodreads challenge by 400% and a lot of it is because of you! In a year where I’ve not been able to see my family because they literally live on the other side of the planet; my job as a grade 5 teacher has been it’s most challenging with virtual learning and COVID closures; I’ve lost people this year. That said, reading has been able to get me through it. Thank you for inspiring me, your positive and candid energy and some great recommendations! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ❤️🧡💛💚💜
My top 5 books of the year: Where the Crawdads Sing, the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo, the invisible life of addie larue, crescent city, and Mexican gothic!

I've read (or have already bought and are on my TBR) so many of these because of you! You were the first booktuber I found this year and I'm so happy and grateful that I did! Your videos and love for books helped fuel my love for books and get me through a really tough school semester. So THANK YOU!

My sweet Noelle, I hope 2021 brings you nothing but joy and health. You've really played a huge role in helping me reading more books again, despite how tired I feel with uni. Thank you for that. My absolute favourite book of the year was Girl, Woman, Other 💕
I can tell things have been exciting for you for a while. You are yourself in every special way. You've become you wholeheartedly, and I love this. I'm striving to get there, too. I guess I'm ninety-eight percent there.
I know I’m like a month late to the gig but I wanted to add my fave books of 2020 because I hadn’t seen them cropping up on booktok/booktube and I felt that they deserved some recognition ya know 1. Soul Tourists (Bernadine Evaristo) 2. A Monster Calls (Patrick Ness) 3. Call Me By Your Name (André Aciman) 4. The Children Act (Ian McEwan) 5. If Beale Street Could Talk (James Baldwin)
Happy new year, Noelle. Things that made my 2020 easier 1. Reading 2. Meditation & Family Time 3. One particular red haired booktuber who keeps it real.
omg Noelle! you were so right about the hating game!! I finished it yesterday and Im already thinking of reading it again! what a gem, thank you so much!!
My Top 5!! A Little Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Beach Read, This Is How You Lose the Time War, and The Vanishing Half! :) Happy New Year, Nolle
Finding your channel at the beginning of quarantine was the highlight of my year! And finding the Booktube community! 2020 has been a ride....but I ain’t mad at it. I got back to my love of reading, which I let go by the wayside because of life!🤦🏻♀️😅 But no mo’! 😉 You’ve inspired me to get started talking about books here. The beauty guru thing is meh!🤣 I read “The Song of Achilles” when it first came out and looooved it! Happy New year Noelle!❣️
I'm so glad you mentioned Dead Wake when you did because i'm also weirdly interested in shipwrecks and so I was so intrigued and read it in a week and enjoyed every detail. I'm excited to finally read the shining and misery one day. :]
it’s always fun watching Noelle and i knew you’re going to put the hating game on the list! anyway my top 5 2020 books are Pachinko, Little Fires Everywhere, A Little Life, Reasons to Stay Alive, and Homegoing

Read a lot more this year than I have in the past, partially because of free time but also because of watching you and the reminder of how fun reading is❤️ thank you, thank you, and happy new year Noelle
How's the nickel boys? . I thought of reading it before.. But didn't till now... I loved reading All the night we cannot see... It was great
I LOVE All the Light We Cannot See!! I don’t see people talking about it as much anymore
Subhajit Bag it’s incredible. I read it without knowing really anything about it, and I think it’s better that way. Audiobook for it is really good, I listened on Libby. I will say, first half is very slow and not much happens but the background really highlights the injustice of what happened to the ‘Nickel boys’
Just because I missed a bit of Noelles quirky positive energy totally re watching some old videos… anyone else? Hope that this next stage in life is exactly what you needed and thriving Noelle! Glad we could all share these college years with you! Got me into reading during Covid ! Forever thank you- aka - random stranger in AZ lol
I just discovered you because I'm getting back into reading in 2021 and needed suggestions. I absolutely trust your judgement and plenty of these are now on my list. Thanks so much! Subscribed!
Same here hahaha
I love that you randomly sing 😂 it brings me such joy.
That's so great to hear about Song of Achillies because I've always been intimidated by it for some reason. And YES Hood Feminism! That made it to my "best of 2020" list too!

My favorite book of the year was When They Call You A Terrorist. Highly recommend! It's a super powerful memoir.
noelles youtube channel is the reason that I got back into reading at the end of 2020, so my top 5 books of the year are anxious people, an absolutely remarkable thing, red white and royal blue, such a fun age, and the invisible life of addie la rue!

- Dig by A.S King
- The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

The audio book for the kiss quotient is fantastic! The narrator does an amazing job of captivating stella‘s insecurities and strengths. Just, how do some say: chef‘s kiss 😊
My top 3 books of 2020 were The Shining, Sharp Objects and Call Me By Your Name 💫
I feel like the joy you experienced finding misery and the hating game is equivalent to the joy I feel about devoting myself to you and your channel this year!!!! ILY
Read and LOVED the hating game thanks to you ☺️ The stand, the vanishing half, all the light we cannot see, east of Eden and the goldfinch were my top 5 reads of 2020!
Bruh I found her and now I can’t stop watching her. I loved her style, her voice, her enthusiasm. I finally found someone who is as enthusiastic about books as me.✨✨✨
You made my 2020 amazing so THANK YOU!
I never planned on reading The Hating Game but I saw you mention it so many times that I asked for it for Christmas, binge read it in two days, and then spent the next day rereading my favorite chapters because there was a giant hole in my heart when I got to the last page and desperately needed more Josh and Lucy. Thank you so much for recommending it so often, it is for sure a new romance favorite!!
Yes!!!! I do the same thing!! Read the whole thing and then go back to specific chapters 🥺
Top five:
The boy the mole the fox and the horse
Perks of being a wallflower
Fault in our stars
The hunger games
And then there were none
Oh wow, this was such a throwback. Apart from the first one this sounds like my favourite books of 2012 lol
I've reading S Collin's newest book right now, the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes! 🤩

- Shuggie Bain
- Misery
- Pet Sematary
- Ready Player One
ooo We Need to Talk About Kevin and Pet Sematary are on my list to read this year!
We need to talk about Kevin is still driving me mad

I will never get over We Need to Talk about Kevin. Never have I had such a potent love/hate relationship with a book hahaha
Starting this video in the final minutes of 2020-can’t think of a better way to start 2021 after this crazy decade-long year ⭐️🤗
ok ok but u were definitely one of the best things that has happened to us in 2020!!!!!!!!!
ugh the way no matter how I feel when I watch one of your videos, i always and i mean *ALWAYS* feel so much better when i hear you talk and just see you.
Of course, you talking about books (which I love so deeply) is one of the reasons but not only that. You have this great positive, lovely, creative, smart energy/atmosphere around you it's reaching me through the display and I'm so thankful for that.
I hope you always keep that energy and never lose your beautiful smile. I wish you a happy new year noelle! May 2021 bring you lots of great things like health, love, peace and happiness! Thank you for delighting my moments by sharing videos filled with your opinions about books etc.
my top 5 very random collection of favorites are probably:
-the hating game
-ready player one
-Untamed
-call me by your name
-i know why the caged bird sings
Can I ask if you liked the CMBYN movie? I read the book without seeing it and I adore the book but I can’t sit through the movie but I adore the cast and the style of it and everything is perfect but I just don’t like it?? Sorry I’m always curious if others enjoyed the movie if they read the book

That said, reading has been able to get me through it. Thank you for inspiring me, your positive and candid energy and some great recommendations!
