You embody them, and talk about them with such passion that it makes me wanna go to the bookstore ASAP or order them online! You are the reason I love Orwell. I would’ve never picked him up otherwise. I mean, even if I didn’t end up liking a book you recommended, just the way you describe your love for the authors and it’s contents, makes me wanna read and then some. Thank you for being a genuine person and for being yourself. To me personally, you are unlike any other booktuber and I follow a lot of them, and even though I do love certain booktubers, I never comment, but with you, I just had to !

    A book that I've read a couple of time that I never am able to stop reading is The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee. I don't know, it's just a funny, wild ride that I fall in love with every time I let my eyes fall over the pages.

    Bingable CLASSICS recomendation: "Star Rover" by Jack London. In a way it's perfect for quarantine and escapism - it's about a man in a prison in 1890s, who to escape the tortures of straight-jacket mentally travels back to his previous lives, where he's a sailor stranded on deserted island, a Viking who happens to become Roman officer and befriend Pontius Pilate, young boy in America whose community is religiously persecuted, etc.
    I couldn't put this book down first time I've read - I remember sitting next to kitchen table at 3am and flying through pages❤

      @@wrinkleintime4257 I hope you will enjoy it! It can be overwhelming at times (as prisoner descrives his experience of what basically is a torture), but it's a great read overall! There is lot of interesting ideas and reflections in each "life", and the plot is also very engaging!

    I bought Aristotle and Dante like two weeks ago, and I’ve reread it about three times already and I have also read it aloud to my little sister. This book has changed my life. Everything you have said about it, is completely true. Its engrossing, emotional, and so much more. I don’t normally get so attached to books, but this book completely took over my whole being. It’s honestly just amazing!

    Book recommendation:
    Whole by T.Colin Campbell
    This book is about rethinking nutrition and about eating a whole plant based diet. It talks about how the health system is flawed and how such a diet can be beneficial for our bodies, our environment and for the animals. It is a very great read and easy to understand and comprehend.
    Even though we are in a pandemic right now, I think we could all benefit from learning how to eat a healthy diet.
    Btw have a nice day to however reads this :)
