Happy Sunday Jems! Today I'm going over some books that you MUST READ! Have you read any of books on my list? Also please leave any book recommendations in the comments section!
I ve read 1984 by george Orwell and the picture of Dorian grey , currently reading the handmaid's tale and very intrigued by the story although the first part is a little slow !
I recommend you read "we were liars" and "the girl with dragon tattoo" im sure you will like the intrigue in them ! love you jenn
clothesencounters I recommend a book called "Games are for Real" written by Estonian writer Diana Leesalu but I'm not sure if you can get this book easily :/ But it is an amazing book. Very sensitive story about being bullied and so on.

I just finished studying and you came with a feast for my nearly dead brain 💕💕💕 you're a life saver, Jenn. I really hope one day I can meet up😊💕 a must before I die
Ahh! It's time to relax now! Also I hope we meet one day too. (:
I love "the perks of being a wallflower" that book came into my life during a very hard time in high school, and it made me feel like I wasn't alone. It's that type of book for me, I hold it very near my heart.
Do a top 10 favorite movies/tv shows!
Kristina Mowatt comment commended!
movies one plsssss
The moment you realise after watching this video that 7 out of 10 mentioned books are on your 'TOP EVER" list 💓💓 also thanks for these 3 more:) Now I need to add them to 'to read list' for this year:) I challenged myself to read 52 books in 2017 and I'm currently on 30. so.. wish me luck 😊
good luck! just 22 books more!
that awesome moment when you finished reading a really good book and you see it at a store then you cunningly smile at it as if you had an affair with it
Oh my days! I just purchased "the perks of being a wallflower" 🤗🤗 another good read is The Alchemist. Def a recommendation
Cherisha Etnel yeassssss the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. it's a must read for me as well 😊
i have been meaning to read the alchemist! thanks so much for the recommendation :)
Cherisha Etnel yes! The Alchemist!
I love the Alchemist!
I knew Kafka on The Shore would be there haha ! I remember you recommending it like years ago
The OGs already know.
can't wait to read it! it looks so good :)
same!
englandlover08 heard great things about Kafka in the Shore but I wanted to get to IQ84 first (since it's already on my shelves)
me too! i read it when she first recommended it and now its one of my faves too!
My favorite book of all time is the Little Prince, this book changed my life, I read it a 100 times, it will remind you about the simplicity of childhood, it's a short story, you'll never regret reading it.
Oh yes, We read this story this school year and I liked it.
Plz can you tell where to buy it
@@bhakabandhusethy2060 Well I'd say its available in any library, or any website like amazone
Ugh yes this book touched my heart
you mentioned 5 of my favorite books!!! please do another vid on fantasy/sci-fi/dystopian!
A favourite book I have read this year has been Wild Swans by Jung Chang. The narrator takes you through her three generations of her family history from her grandmother, mother to herself in the backdrop of a changing China. Not only was it eye opening to discover Chinese history but it was so heart breaking to hear about some of the things that actually happened. ALSO TY FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO, I added sooo many books to read after going through the comments and your list :))) Love you Jenn
Jessica Liu i'm not Jen lol but I feel like I'll give the book a try, thanks 💖
The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld!! He was my saving grace author in middle and high school, and creates such vivid scenes and realities for the characters he creates. Another awesome series by him is the Midnighters (I think, can't remember it exactly!) they're both sort of dystopian, si-fi, genres and absolutely amazing!
OMG I LOVE THAT SERIES
It is dystopian
Yea I’ve read uglies the first book, I really recommend
SUCH a good series! The Uglies series was my absolute favourite set of books for a couple years. Read them in seventh grade, but I still adore them. I’m pretty sure I’ve read the first one four times lol
One of my favorite books is Nella Larsen's 'Passing"
The book revolves around the experience of being half black/half white in 1920s New York when there was still segregation (and obviously deep racism). The story is about two women who are both biracial. One of them lives as a black woman and the other "passes" as white. The second woman even marries a white guy who has no idea she is half black. The book was extremely seminal to me as I am also biracial and could relate to the issues presented about how race is a societal invention that is meant to categorize and divide humans. It brought to light the notion of racial fluidity and the struggles of internal identity that mixed race people face.
I feel like I should also warn that the book has a sad ending :(
But definitely worth reading. It's also really short so you can read it in a day!
This book sounds powerful! Added to the list. Thanks for your rec!
How do you do that Jen? How do you manage to read while socializing, while hanging out with friends and your boyfriend, visiting your parents and flying all over the world as well as filming, editing and socializing with fans? I'm so fascinated that you even manage to read all the time. I'm only attending university and am doing almost the things that you do, but i can't manage to find time to read otherwise i would be lacking of sleep or time for anything else...
Joey Cheng i find that the best way to read if you're very busy is by taking a book with you everywhere u go! So if you have to wait for someone or if ur in the bus or even in a plane u can read! Most of my reading happened in a car or a bus lol
High IQ. High IQ is all you need.
Time management
Jolie Rouge Idk, I just dislike you already.
No One dafuq , why?
The Song of Achilles is a must-read.
I´d highly recommend The kite runner by Khaled Hosseini!
Love that book!
i would love to read that book! thanks for the recommendation :)
If you like that author, you should try out A Thousand Splendid Suns!
howloudcansilenceget I love that book I just finished it for school. I recommend too
howloudcansilenceget that book had me so shook
I have NEVER heard anyone talk about The Picture of Dorian Gray! I absolutely love that book! Oscar Wilde is such a genius.
me neither but my dad recommended it to me lol
One of my favorites is "Farenheit 451" which is about a world in which reading and knowledge are prohibited and it follows a man who is awoken to how good knowledge is when he meets a young girl and his journey through rebelling against the laws.
Gabriela Munoz i read that book, and loved it. It's scary bc that world is so close to being ours ...
Gabriela Munoz I absolutely love this book
Gabriela Munoz same, and Lord of the Flies. Both school books for me.
had to read that for school.. HATED IT 😂
Jenn, thank you so much for doing this! I feel like people nowadays don't read enough and you're one of the very few beauty/fashion youtubers out there that encourage the younger generation to read! There's so much pleasure to be found in reading but because of the increased access to social media platforms some people seem to have neglected books altogether. Thank you so much for advocating and encouraging more people to pick up a book and read!! Love you!!
I love her passion for books. This is so amazing to see content on something that’s not always common. This list seems so good and I can’t wait to read these books. Definitely subscribing :)
🚨"A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a MUST READ🚨
Offiong Ekanem MY FAV BOOK TO THIS DAY
Offiong Ekanem that's also one of my favorite books too! I was assigned that reading but I finished the book in one day because I was so into the story!
i legit was hoping that the book would be on her list but I'm glad im not the only one that loves it. honestly, my favorite book of all time.
Offiong Ekanem FAVE BOOK OF ALL TIME
Never agreed more on a comment before!
I just finished The Wind up Bird Chronicle. And it is now officially my favorite book. And Murakami is my favorite author, I just love the philosophical aspect of his books! I really recommend them
the glass castle - jeanette walls
it's a memoir about a girl and her family who chooses to live like they are homeless
julzgoesrawrx3 yaaas I love that book!
I love that memoir!!!!
I just recently read that book and it was so good. It's definitely one of my favourites. 😄😄
Yesss I was just about to recommend this book. It was so amazing and heart touching
I love The Catcher in the Rye! It's such a unique Bildungsroman/coming of age story. Definitely had an impact on me, although I know it's very hit or miss with a lot of people.
I also loved We Were Liars. That book absolutely destroyed me - I've never been hit so hard by a price of writing. An incredible story about family and love and finding yourself.
Thank you for this video Jenn! It was very refreshing :)
I'd have to agree with Catcher In The Rye. It's really a mix of character pieces strewn together to tell a story. At first read, people don't understand Holden's train of thought, but after reading it with a critical and analytical brain, it's an earnest narrative. There's so much powerful symbolism in this book that it garnered me to go to NYC when I was 18 and through this book I fell in love with that city.
TheSlurpy11 absolutely love the catcher In the rye, planning to re read this summer. I cried at the end despite it not being overly sad or emotional 😂
You should read "The Glass Castle" it's about a poor family, they are constantly moving from place to place because they can't afford staying in one spot. There's just many things that happens along their journey. I've read the book twice and seen the movie 3 times. It's an amazing story you should look into it.
I know this is not a book reccomendations but there is a tv show called 3% on netflix. it talks about a dystopian world in which once you reach of age you can go through the process. the top 3% makes it through the process and can escape the inland (full of poverty) and go to the off shore in which is supposed to be amazing. its really good and i def reccomend this
angiebunii second this ! The story is very interesting, even though you can see its kinda on a low budget
angiebunii I really liked this show - I would definitely recommend watching it in its original Portuguese to get the full feeling (with subtitles obviously). Also The Cable Girls (watch in Spanish) is a really thought provoking and fun programme about working girls in 1920s Madrid
Checking this out on Netflix! :)
I LOVE that show!! i watched it all in a day haha
Ana Karina Me too haha
Hi Jenny, today I met you for the first time. I have read many books in your list, and really loved them, such as The portrait of Dorian Gray, 1984 or Kafka on the shore. I would like to recommend some of my favourites one whose style is a bit different from those you talked about, but I think they are really interesting:
- The miserables: this is probably my favourite one. Maybe you have watched the movie but the reading experience is very pleasant, it is so well written and it describes so well the difficulties of so many people and how they struggle to survive. It makes you aware of how luck we are if living in the societies we live, and lets you thinking about those societies where people doesn't have enough for a living and how could you help them. It can be sometimes a bit hard to read, but I think it's worth the while.
- Gone with the Wind: a brilliant historical book which story runs in the context of the American Civil War and the problems in a southern state where black people still works as slave while in the north they are already being freed. It's a long book but very interesting.
- Dracula: a very thrilling and catchy book, many of us know about Dracula and vampires but never read the original story. It takes place in the Victorian era in England, it's written in a diary and letter style, which gives you the point of view of many of the characters in the story, so you can feel they way they feel.
I could continue but these ones are enough for now haha.
Thank you very much for your recommendations, I will definitely read the ones I haven't read yet.
Regards!
Sorry, I meant Jenn, not Jenny, my keyboard set me a trap haha
1. Harry Potter series (it has been my childhood favorite)
2. The Great Gatsby - the writing is beautiful! I've read it 3 times just because I'm in love with the writing
3. Till We Have Faces - Cupid and Psyche's love story through her sister's (Orual) perspective. The writing is pretty and there's a lot to learn from someone who is considered an ugly and flawed human compared to her beautiful sister and the godly being Cupid
4. Howl's Moving Castle - so much fun with all the characters
Howl's Moving Castle - love that you included that one! I rarely meet people who have read it :(
Omg Tayeon. Kskslsl
Howl's Moving Castle is beautiful! I loved that book so much
I love The Great Gatsby so much
i know this is very late but i didnt know howls moving castle was also a book besides the movie :D i really wanna get it now :D
More books videos please 😊😊
I'm not much of a reader since I have been in school for years, so I never have time or patience to read anymore. However, after listening to your descriptions of each makes me excited and interested to read!
You should do a full book collection video!
I recommend "Brave New World" = for dystopian lovers out there
and "Everyday" = just.beautiful.
top 10 albums please! 💿💁
Lee YES PLEASE
yes yes yessss
Please make another video like this ( Books you need to read pt.2 )!! I really love your recommendations and the way you introduce them, I actually read them all since I watched this video. So please, make another video about books!!! Love you so much, Jenn!! ❤️
Αh thank you so much for this jenn, just in time for summer reading time!💜
Eep! Of course! Hope these recs are helpful!
i was thinking the same thing! definitely going to be on my summer reading list :)
You have to check out "The lies of locke lamora". For me at least, his style of writing is orgasmic. I just can't resist the storyline and characters :))))))
Rain Drops what is the story about?
Rain Drops I'm listening and reading to this now. Hilarious. ☺️
it made my day that you mention The Perks of Being a Wallflower! it honestly changed my life the first time I read it, and it’s such an underrated masterpiece
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It's about Ancient Toltec knowledge of making your life less complicated. There are 4 agreements you should make to yourself that are so simple and yet to implement them in your life is difficult & it makes you realize that most of the times we create the drama in our lives. It was a life changer for me, I recommend it to everyone.
schy garcia totally agree! Amazing non-fiction book that is a life changer for sure. Totally recommend for Jenn as well!
Since you've read 1984, did you also read Brand New World? Those two go hand in hand I've heard.
Have you also read Farenheit 451? Its also dystopian but in a future where there are no books/ books are illegal
Also Murakami has said before that everything in Kafka is connected somehow, and if you read it well enough you'll be able to get the connections!
Farenheit 451 is fantastic
Farenheit 451 is also a really good one! I recommend that to a friend and even lend him a copy of mine
*Brave New World. One of my favorites for sure! They are somewhat similar in that there are totalitarian regimes in place. But in Brave New World, people are given what they want (sex, drugs, etc) and are complacent, whereas in 1984 they are deprived. It's an interesting comparison.
*brave new world
yes for F451! it's such a quick read yet so interesting!!
If you're looking for another good non-fiction read, then you should check out Malcom Gladwell! I read "Outliers: The Story of Success" 4 years ago in 9th grade for summer reading and I just really enjoyed how he took us through his journey of learning why certain groups of people end up being more successful than others. For example: students born in January are more well off in sports and school since they're more developed compared to their counterparts born in December, and East Asians are more hardworking compared to their Europeans counterparts because eastern farmers would work year round by planting in the summer and preparing in the winter, whereas their western counterparts couldn't do much in the winter due to different latitudes and intensity of the cold.
Ahh! I love Malcom Gladwell! I've read Outliers and the Tipping Point. I need to re-read it them since it's been so many years.
i love seeing people gushing about The Five People You Meet in Heaven, its one of my favourite books and it never gets enough love
It's insane how she doesn't have more subscribers - anyone else agree?
i agree! her channel is one of my favourites :)
Christina Marie wait, when she mentioned Marzia, did she mean Pewdiepie's gf? Probably not.
Kiley Faun yes, she meant pewdiepie's girlfriend! they're friends :)
I'm all over TH-cam looking for any thought-provoking literature. I can't stop!!!
me too
Do a dystopian book recommendation video please!
have you read "ender's game"?! one of my fave dystopian books, as well as "brave new world" by huxley 💜💜
Victoria aveyard's series are good
They both die at the end, Chaos Walking and Noughts and Crosses are some of my favourites 😊😊
Hunger games ik it’s like kids but
I really liked Severance by Ling Ma - dystopian as well as a satire of millenialism
I finally read “The Picture of Dorian Gray” because of you :) can’t wait to see what the next book I read is
Your new office looks great!! Also definitely picking up some of these books over the summer
Aww thank you! I'm still waiting for the book shelves to arrive!
but have you read lord of the flies? i think it's a good book about innate evil in mankind and how a "paradise" island became destroyed by a bunch of little boys
??? ahaha i fail at summarising and i think my literature teacher will kill me
I love Lord of the Flies!
Hannah Tan yes, definently worth a read
I love Lord of the Flies!!
the book was not bad it was the fact that my english class had to do so much regarding it that i hate it now lol
Great video, I also suggest reading The Little Prince, it's an amazing little story and a timeless classic.
I really recommend you to read books written by women of color: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a good start. Her collection of short stories "The Thing Around Your Neck" is just impeccably poignant. Isabel Allende's "The House of Spirit" is also my absolute favorite, just don't go near the movie adaptation. For a non-fiction read, I suggest an investigation journalism by Jenny Nordberg "The Underground Girls of Kabul". Nordberg is not a woman of color, but her story does full justice to what Afghani girls have undergone in their life. Xx
Adya Nisita piggybacking off of this, since you mentioned loving sci-fi, octavia butler wrote really incredible sci-fi novels & short stories & is one of my favs. i started with 'kindred,' hope you check her out!
Chimamanda is one of my role models, her TED talks and speeches are all round inspiring, but that novel honestly had stories that left me stunned with the simple brilliance of it.
Please do more! I really love it when you reccommend books now that I have a kindle account as well! I have finally gotten back to reading books and I'm so happy about it so more recs would be amazing!
Omg you mentioned some of my favorite books!!! As well as my all time favorite The Picture of Dorian Gray! I also love the perks of being a wallflower and the 5 people you meet in heaven
I personally love Neil Gaiman novels such as American Gods and the Graveyard Book
The sandman is also a good one! even thought is a comic xD
And Stardust. Aaaand Coraline. :)
sameee. his first book Neverwhere is also amazing :) currently reading American Gods
I was definitely going to say American Gods- I'm glad it's already been mentioned! (Plus now there is the show to go along with it :)
I am so carried away by your beauty throughout the video. I love all the books you mentioned. Thank you.
notification alert and i literally jumped on to this video!!!
Aww thank you! Hope you have a lovely day too!
Jennnnn you should read the glass castle by Jennette Walls! ♥️
I'll check it out!
That book changed my life!
coffee fox
I love that book too! I really recommend it too! Plus, the movie is coming out this summer
DEFINITELY. I was going to recommend this if someone else in the comments didn't already!
I have been trying to find a book tuber FOR WEEKS, and I see if I align with them by watching their “favorites” video. THANK YOU SO MUCH :) finally someone who has books in their list that aren’t from last year. “The best books ever” aren’t all 2015 releases 🙄
You seem to really know your books, I had literally read and loved every single one of these
(besides Ready Player One which I hated.)
It’s wonderful to finally find such an awesome channel 😀
Can’t wait for to dive into your videos.
Honestly none of these sound interesting to me but I love how excited you seem to be about them!
Truly a beautiful and intelligent girl from the inside out. I look up to you so much Jenn ❤️
Remember Kafka on the shore was delivered to my house right after i finished my university entrance exam five years ago and how excited i was. I still come back to this video annually cause this is always one of my favourites. Thank you Jenn for your recommendations
No one asked but here's my top ten in no particular order:
1. Twelve years a slave
2. Uncle Tom's cabin
3. Pride and prejudice
4. Emma
5. Anne of green gables
6. American sniper
7. The lovely bones
8. The sociological imagination
9. Sense and sensibility
10. Les Misérables
Yo netflix makes their own version of anne of green gables called anne with an e
Yees Les Mis is one of my favorites too!
You're into the Classics.. nice
I love your list... I've read Emma and I honestly hated her for the first half of the book, she kinda redeemed herself at the end though. I love Pride and Prejudice and Les Miserables.
You can watch mine on my youtube channel! I love reading and clearly you've just named a few masterpieces;)
Ahhh, Murakami is my favorite writer of all time!
You should definitely read his new novel, Men without Women.
Much love from Belgium!
you should read When Breath Becomes Air! So beautifully written and really makes you think about mortality and the meaning of life - it's a kind of autobiography that follows a doctor's coming to terms with his own terminal illness
such an intelligent girl!
you inspire me so much Thank you Jenn😘
Crazy Rich Asians- Kevin Kwan; it's about exactly what it sounds like and is written with absolutely impeccable wit and humor. the author includes snippets of cantonese that make me laugh because I can understand the implications behind phrases that get lost in translation. I adore the characters, the details, the unexpected flashes of sentiment and even though I'm not crazy or rich I can definitely relate to the 'Asian' part in terms of understanding the cultural motivations behind many of the characters' actions. Please read if you haven't already!! plus they're coming out with a movie on it featuring the MOST ATTRACTIVE CAST EVER #representation
Ariel Mai I love this book! I'm not Asian so I appreciated all the footnotes and it was really interesting learning about the affluent Chinese culture.
I like how she smiles for almost a whole time in a video
Loveeee this video! Please do more book recommendations!
And jenn, try reading murakami's 1Q84, i think its an amazing storyline and is one of my favourites!
Jenn, are you on Goodreads???
I read the perks of being a wallflower in school and it was truly amazing. Its definitely a book that never gets old. Thank you for all the amazing book recommendations. I definitely will be reading all the ones i can find from the list
Hey Jenn! Loved this video and your opinions on these books. So I've recently discovered an author named Khaled Hosseini and I've read 2 of his books, The Kite Runner and The Thousand Splendid Suns. They both are very moving but I have to say that my The Thousand Splendid Suns was something else. I would love for you to read it if you haven't already and let us know what your thoughts on it are. Love you ❤️
Yes please do 10 more!
Please do a video for your favourite Fiction, Dystopian, YA and Fantasy books.. Am dying to know more about your collections. Your taste in books is really good!!!!
Another book countdown for sureeee! I enjoyed so much and cant wait to try reading all your recommended books!
I love you that much more for mentioning a Mitch Albom book ❤ Please make more book rec videos!!!
I'm not even through the entire video and already want to start a new bookstore trip. I got hyped very very much for the books you recommend here, I really enjoy how you talk about these books 🌹
I think we have similiar tastes. I would recommend to you: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (don't worry about the movie, the book is really different) and Stoner by John Williams.
Guruthosa she's read Enders game! Recommended in a previous monthly fav vid which made me read it 😁
Guruthosa Really, why Stoner? Just curious :) but it's very different from her reccomendations, in my opinion.
Just a hunch. I feel like it's in a similiar tone as some of the things she likes. It's masterfully written, it's about a man who fails professionally and personally and yet there's still value in his ordinary life that others would consider a failure. I couldn't put it down and in the end I was totally shaken and in tears. It taught me a new perspective, just like The Handmaid's Tale, 1984 or Dorian Gray did. It broadened my horizon for sure. Recommending books is generally tricky but this is one I always do recommend.
Did you enjoy it?
is Ender's Game the movie that was based on the book with Asa Butterfield (actor) in it ?
omg ive lucid dreamed before but i wanted to train myself to do it too awhile ago! i watched a video and the best trick i think was to develop a habit of noticing details. so like just looking at your hands or the clock every so often. then in your dream, you'll catch yourself doing that habit except your hands will have extra fingers or the clock won't look right. then you'll realize it's a dream!! & tbh i think just thinking about wanting to lucid dream will get you to lucid dream.
I DEFINITELY recommend Candide by Voltaire. It’s hands down my favorite
when you mentioned 'the five ppl you meet in heaven' i was reminded of the book 'Boo' by Neil Smith. it's from the pov of a young nerdish boy who died, and tells abt his afterlife in a quirky sort of heaven. it's a very lighthearted book af first glance but has darker, sad undertones which moved me a lot.
Its fun watching you explain every book with so much passion and yes with a smile on your face. Keep smiling
Yesss!! Do more book videos! On ALL those possibilities :D
oh my gosh..... the 5 people you meet in heaven is also one of my favorite books. I really enjoyed it, but didn't find it particularly happy. Was definitely bawling at the end of the book! Great video, and definitely gave me some new books to read!
So many of the books are also my fav books of all time. Loved this video 👍🏻
"And I will like you five times more if you read this book." This is so funny!! Now a gotta read the book 😂😂
I am just so amazed that the very first book you mentioned is East of Eden. I am currently reading it and the journey is amazing.
Other than that your general taste pretty much resembles mine, so thanks for this video and extending my tbr list 😊
YES! As soon as you said you love dystopian books I was like "Yes! That's what I like to hear!" And I was gonna recommend 1984 but then you recommended it haha. I also really recommend Fahrenheit 451. And if you like dark books you should really read The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks, it is so dark! I had to read it for English class and everyone in my class was like "it's so weird, it's so creepy" and I was like "I love it!"
Oh and if you haven't heard of it already, you should totally watch Black Mirror! So dark, so interesting! And one of the episodes sounds like Ready Player One
Oh and please film a video on dystopian books! If you haven't already - I haven't seen any of your other videos yet! Just found you today
i liked this video a few years ago bc i had read east of eden and wanted to read kafka on the shore and re-watching it now i have ended up reading almost all these books ! great taste !!
Please continue making book faves for every genre! especially sci fi/dystopoian novels
I'm a little late to comment but maybe you'll see this nonetheless. I highly recommend The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It's a super interesting book about someone with Aspergers Syndrome. I love it :D
Thank you so much Jenn ! I went back to this video for my first high school book report, and I can't wait to read all of these books for school and whenever I have time to spend !!!
"God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy sounds like it would be right up your alley.
Aimee Voyer yesss
Jihadi Author😡😡😡
Commie Bitch,LoL but no wonder you think Indians as snake charmers and poverty driven hungry people
I loved the book. It will make you see people around you differently.
You literally are summarising a lot of content one could've enjoyed in the books :( Anyway, These are definitely worthy of the top ten list
I just finished the handmaids tale like yesterday and I love it so much!
I just finished ready player one, and I loved it. The story and it's plot line are mainly found in Anime and Manga but reading Cline's take on the genre was so refreshing. I loved every part of this book and let me tell you each part had me feeling a different way from paranoia, empathy, and excitement. I can't remember the last time I found myself immersed into a book. Thank you so much for introducing this book back in one of your monthly favourites and again for mentioning it on this video, I would not have found it if not for your videos!
