Perks of Being a Wallflower - I recommend being in an ok headspace when you read it. There’s the teen stuff, and then there’s the heavy stuff, and I got surprised (in a bad way) when this self-harm/suicide piece popped pop. It is DEFINITELY worth a read and has a piece of my heart, but I think it’s important you know what my English teacher didn’t tell me - it’s got some heavy content.
Too real!! I DNFed Rebecca at 200 pages. Hopefully I'll get back to it someday, but I put it down for Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries, which was whimsical and captivating. I also read My Dark Vanessa this year! The only 5-star, life changing book to make me physically nauseous.
I picked 24 books to read in 2024 and I read 14 of them - I am also a mood reader so I’m happy with exceeding half of the ones I designated for the year 🤷♀️
My favorite aspect of Rebecca is that you never learn the narrator's name. Perfectly fits her characterization and the major theme of the book. Hope you can manage to finish it. It was difficult for me to get through the first half due to my ADHD, but I'm glad I did.
Watching you and Rachel has gotten me back into building a book collection again. I forgot how much I used to love to read. Got something familiar, Red Rain by R.L. Stine. I didnt know he actually wrote a few horror novels for adults, its good so far. Makes me feel like a teen again curling up with his books.
I read So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison, and loved it. I'm a sucker for vampire books, but all her other books are now on my TBR. I can definitely tell her books seem like an acquired taste. 😅
12:12 - shit I'm exactly the same way and I'm also trying to work it out in therapy. I'd be interested to know when you get any breakthroughs! You know, share notes :)
I like that me tion your a mood reader and d9nt like being told what to do. I'm the same. Something tht at helps with that is filling in book challenges. Seeing the potential and having.to wait for 2025 excites me😁
i loved dark vanessa too. i really love rachel harrison’s books but i’ve never read black sheep. cackle and so thirsty were so good! so thirsty is a vampire book so i feel like you may like it!
I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
my partner loves the old tv adaption and the play version of rebecca! i think they did an essay on the book but i don't think they're as impressed by the book. they're always saying how the housekeeper and rebecca (or was it the new wife?) should have been in lesbians with each other heheh
If you can get ahold of the Alfred Hitchcock version of the movie Rebecca, it might help you finish the book. But, it’s not what you’re thinking it is at all. Plus the movie is super queer for 1940
Hey so I've been reading this book called corrupt and it was a roller-coaster same author who wrote credence could you do a review on it its a series btw it's called the devil night series I would love to see you're reaction much love xx
I have read 2 Rachel Harris books and disliked them. I want to try the others, but I have a feeling she's just going to be one of those authors that I hate everything they put out even though it should be something I love. I actually loved The Butterfly Garden, but do not recommend the rest of the books in the series. They went downhill pretty fast.
I love Dot Hutchisons Collector serie so much, and I'm so sad that it has not been translated to my first language, and because of that, nobody I know has read it 🥲 I would love to recommend it to my mum and grandma, who would also love it
I’m IN LOVE with the bangs!
The Warm Hands Of Ghosts was gorgeous!
Yay! The Bear and The Nightingale got me back into reading!
Omg I love the bear and the nightingale too. Such gorgeous writing in that trilogy ugh

My dark vanessa was also gorgeously written and stress-inducing

Hopefully you like Cackle better! I adored it 😍 Such Sharp Teeth was also really good!

NM! You're looking especially cute in this video! I hope you had a wonderful Chrismahanukkah and have a happy new year!
I really liked the butterfly garden a lot! But my roommate ended up thinking it was meh and too predictable so def a toss up!
I had to read Rebecca in high school and I agree! It’s painfully slow lol. It picks up in the 2nd half.

I don't know if this helps, but Rebecca is also on my TBR for 2025 haha
5:18 if you ever want a book like Rebecca that actually has things happening try The Death of Jane Lawrence
You’re the best

That would have made so much more sense to me watching the movie.

Rebecca didn't work for me either.
