Congrats on your move 🎉 and The Left Hand of Darkness is soooo underated, I felt exactly the same with the novel! It's so humane for being quite an otherwise intellectual sci-fi ⭐⭐
@@UpintheAirft.Zurich exactly!! I listened to it on audio but I’m thinking I’ll reread it in a print format soon because I really loved it and want to be in that world again!
You have me so excited to get to many of these! And you're going to absolutely love Beautyland. It's a favorite of the year for me and I think it's right up your alley.
The Mars Room is really good! It was my first (and only book so far) I‘ve read by Kushner. But listening to you raving about it I‘ll pick up the Flamethrowers very soon.
Your shelves look so good! I’m glad you are getting settled into NYC! I agree with your thoughts about Giovanni’s Room ❤- such a powerful read! I also recently acquired The Emissary. So curious about it! Excited for a lib vlog from u!
Thank you!! Ooo I’m glad you’re curious about the Emissary as well! Tawada seems so intriguing to read! The hard part will be choosing where to start with the libraries! So many good ones :)
so glad to see you’re getting all settled in!! i think i’m gonna dive into giovanni’s room this fall. i think you’ll love alphabetical diaries when you get to it, it was super interesting and different. also yesssss to the britney spears love!!
@@casskrug yay! I’ve only read Motherhood by Sheila Heti, liked but didn’t love as much as I expected. Alphabetical Diaries has such an intriguing premise, I’m looking forward to it! Ah Britney Spears, such an icon! Love her :)
welcome to new york, and congratulations on the move! the flamethrowers would be quite a perfect read for a cross-country move, and i really agree with your description of it as deeply american. re kushner: i liked flamethrowers, the hard crowd (essays) and the mayor of leipzig, but never got into the mars room. i'm intrigued by her new book coming out in autumn i'm excited about the new vandermeer!
Thank youuu! I couldn’t have picked a better book for the move, just what I needed. The Hard Crowd is also very interesting to me, I’m obviously super intrigued by kushner at the moment so essays could be a good move. However, now that I know she has something new coming in the fall… And more Vandermeer! What a good year!
@@MicahRion oh excellent! Definitely pick up Giovanni’s room soon :) if I can stay on top of things I’ll get to Martyr! And Alphabetical Diaries this year! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
the bookshelves look fantastic! i hope the move was okay! and i can't WAIT to reread The Souther Reach trilogy this year with the fourth book coming out soon. i also want the new covers ahhh!!!! also, Kushner has a new book out later this fall! it's apparently a mystery thriller? curious about it but have been meaning to read The Flamethrowers for ages nowww
The new covers are soooo good! I know I’m going to have to get all the new covers to have a whole matching set with the 4th one. I mean, it is what it is!! Ah!! I had no idea Kushner had something coming out in the fall. That makes me so happy! Realizing both the 4th southern reach trilogy and now the new kushner can be my answers for most anticipated releases!!!
just about done with Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar, probably one of my best reads so far this year! i also just finished how high we go in the dark, definitely a very ambitious project in terms of scope with the amount of time that passes in the novel. thanks for sharing your perspective on it! :)
@@its_eel oh that’s so good to hear! I’m very excited to read Martyr! Yea, how high we go was very ambitious and I think it worked well for a lot of people, I just wanted something different from it :)
