@@hannahwitton and also Chimamanda's middle name Ngozi is pronounced "nnnn-g-oh-zi" so you hold the N if that makes sense. and the O is open like in brocolli.
Love, Death & Robots is one of my favorite animated series of all time! Kinda scary and brutal at times but the stories and animation styles are so intriguing. My favorite three episodes were When The Yogurt Took Over, Three Robots and Zima Blue ✨
Hi :) a filipino viewer here. Just currently subscribed into your channel and i really like the way you make your vids. Keep being true and genuine 😊 more power and Godbless! #MABUHAY! 🙌
Hey Hannah! One of my absolute favorite books recently has been Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston! It's a super cute gay romance and there's some great Mexican-American rep in it as well! It's such a fun book (can you tell I'm obsessed lol) and I think you'd really like it!
I have been teaching Americanah for the past 2 years and I have to say it is amazingly written. Really loved it. I would know, I am a huge Harry Potter fan 😉🌸 Love your videos
You misspelled Americanah in the description so at first I couldn't find it on Goodreads 🙈 Love these kinds of videos! It's so lovely to hear someone talk about things they're passionate about plus you give great recommendations (already know Dead to Me and it's so good)
I love watching your videos hannah so entertaining I enjoy every minute there interesting & comical at times.....they always energize me and it's thoroughly satisfying to watch
thank you so much for introducing me to lucy and yak, I couldn't resist buying a pair for myself when I saw your instagram post in them and they're my new favorite clothing item!
@@hannahwitton me too! plus i'm also thinking I need to try one of their dresses because they look so cute too and of course I want a pair of the corduroy ones for the fall!
Adidas Gazelles are the most comfy shoes ever!! I have them in light pink and my converse have basically become redundant since haha!! Loving your podcast its so good! To give a wee suggestion I think Olly from Years and Years would be a great person to get on there to talk about different topics he's actually such an inspiration and really nice in person apparently
I read americannah after your 'how to decide which book to read next' video and enjoyed it soooooo much. I kept on exclaiming out loud to the amount of things I related to
Hannah Witton you should read Daisy Jones and the Six if you haven’t already! Taylor Jenkins Reid is so amazing at creating such realistic, multi-faceted characters
I just have to say i LOVE your book recommendations. I guess we've got a similar taste in books because every one of the books I've read on your recommendation was great. Also I discovered some books before they even were published in Germany ("The Power"). "Conversations with Friends" was already on my to-read-list, so there's that. I even find myself coming back to your favourites videos when looking for a new read :) So: Please keep these coming! (for your channel demographic: 29, Germany, work in publishing as an editor)
My current book is actually Doing It, it's been on my list for a while, but books in general have had a hard time making it to the top of my budget recently, so finding it in the library was pretty neat, really enjoying it and it's helped to reawaken my ability to read non-fiction non-fiction after uni, which is pretty great. TV wise I've finally just started Fleabag, which seems great, I'm rationing out Queer Eye 4 for when I feel most able to give it all the attention it deserves and my friend and I have somehow accidentally talked each other into a Glee rewatch, which is a wild ride.
thanks for the recommendations! If you liked Americanah you should read Half of a Yellow Sun by Adichie as well. The book is gorgeous and gives so much insight into a tumultuous time in Nigerian history.
Love, Death + Robots is absolutely fantastic! Some of the shorts were breathtakingly beautiful and very funny! And the one with the guy in the spaceship really fucked me up lol.
Six and Come From Away are incredible - two of my faves too! Loved this video, as always. Oooo 25th August is my 3rd wedding anniversary; I know how I'll now be spending it 😂
This month's books I've read: The Zoo Keeper's Wife. True story set during the 2nd World War in Warsaw, Poland. Great read. The Girl in the Spider's Web. First in a new trilogy of books following on from the Millennium trilogy by Steig Larson. Lisbeth Salander, our amazing punk hacker is back in a new mystery. Brilliant. Loved it. Also currently reading your new book Hannah, The Hormone Diaries. Almost halfway through. Loving this too.
Holy Shiiiiiit Dead to Me was one my mom and I started and (because we both couldn't stand the dramatic irony) had to skip several episodes and watch the last two before we could finish watching the middle. The suspense is set up just so FUCKING well and I want to teach it in a class it's so good.
Music. I'm addicted to Retro Wave music. Amazing. Some youtubers like Digital Gravity make amazing mixes between old '80's-90's movie clip and Retro Wave music. The Midnight, Kalax, Timecop1983, FM-84 and many more. Amazing bands.
I'm so fed up of hearing about Lucy and Yak being so great when the largest size they make is 16-18 UK. I asked Lucy and Yak 6 months ago about if they planned to extend their size range and all they said is they "might in the future"... This is obviously nothing against your enjoyment of their clothes personally X
I recommend checking out Blown Away on Netflix. It is a glassblowing competition and it is amazing! Also I'm a glassblower so it is cool to see a show that just shows everybody how awesome glassblowing is!! I hope you check it out!
hey hannah! really love the lucyandyak clothes but i never know what size to get as a short bean. what size are you getting and are the pants length wise okay? we are similar sized :D
I thought I’d got so mixed up for a second bc when you said Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I was thinking Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and I was so confused as to why your plot was completely different to mine 😂
I did my undergrad dissertation on Americanah, loved all of it! I chose it nearly on a whim, so when I actually got a copy I was like, 'oh shit its over 400 pages', proceeded to only take me 3 days to blast through it xD
Fun fact about Love + Death + Robots, so the order in which the episodes are presented to you is based on your Netflix watch history. Proved this by bringing it up on my account and my best friends account. The line up was COMPLETELY different.
Suggestion for other footwear brands that are good for feet (and still really stylish): Asics. Wife loves the Gel Kayano running shoes and they love her feet, and are well shaped for her foot shape and have good arch support; recommended by podiatrists and some osteopaths from what I remember hearing from her. NOT cheap, but try catching the end of a range sale online for much more affordable prices - and they last well, so not as expensive over time as they seem. btw, Hannah, love the little NASA space themed earings. Don't do earings myself, but if I did, I would defo have some of those (or even if my wife had a special space interest, I'd gift them to her so I could still see them regularly...)
Would you ever consider streaming a let's play on your youtube channel? Doesn't have to be live, but if the oppurtunity arises, I am sure many of us would be interested! PS: Loving the doing it podcast! x
Listened to the trans & polygamous podcast with Kat black the other week- im neither but still found it so so interesting! Fav thing to do is put on a face mask and listen to yr podcast, or listen while im doing work in the house!
I spend most of my time on Twitch now. I've found tons of great musicians on there. Not only can you watch them live but you can chat and request songs live. CallsignScarecrow is one of my favs. CharliePlaysGuitars is an incredible R&B/Blues musician. So good.
Have you watched Katherine Ryan's stand up comedy? Her new Netflix special has an extended bit about a feminist view of Hamilton that's pretty funny. As a hamilton lover you should check it out.
Do you watch Peter Monn? He said recently that "Seven Husbands" is one of his favourite books ever - I'm now even more intrigued! He has a Book Tube channel called Peter Likes Books - if you want to add to your "To Read" pile 😄 My pile is towering and always full of books, graphic novels, comics, manga and scanlated Asian fiction, if you ever need random recommendations 😁😘 Stay awesome & thanks for all that you do xoxo Edit:- Grammar correction
I'm definitely going to pick up that first book, sounds right up my street! I tried to watch Love Death and Robots but the first few episodes shown seemed quite male gazey and so, getting suspicious, I looked it up and...out of all the animators/directors contracted by the two male series leads, there was just one female filmmaker listed for the series, out of eighteen shorts. I know expecting equality is expecting too much, but maybe more than 1/18 would be nice. For a series exploring different styles and ideas, it was an odd choice not to include any stories from a woman's perspective. I didn't feel the need to finish watching the series anymore after looking into it.
I am surprised you only just got round to Love Death and Robots, I thought it was really amazing in terms of just creativity and animation. The different styles were just lovely. My one gripe was that there is A LOT of aggression towards women.. death, mutilation, rape? It really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Love Death and Robots had so much nudity in the show, I thought for the longest time that the show was actually called Love, Sex and Robots. My brain's fucked.
Evelyn Hugo was my favorite book that I read last year and it has also been a jumping off point for...I don't know, a new personal soapbox, I guess? Namely: I don't think representation counts as a spoiler. I understand that with this book part of what's going on is an exploration of sexuality and a character who doesn't actually know her own sexuality at first, but when the representation is good (which it is here!) it only strengthens the story if you know what she's wrestling with. And generally speaking, in a story where a character's identity is a "gotcha" the representation is probably pretty terrible. IDK, I just find that it typically comes from a place of privilege to be so well represented when people try to treat identities as spoilers. tl;dr Evelyn Hugo is great and identity isn't a spoiler & I'm gonna die on this hill probably.
"This book is pretty gay" is literally the best selling point for any book ever, honestly 😂
its pronounced obin-zay but you did really well with the efemelu
Ooooh thank you!!
@@hannahwitton and also Chimamanda's middle name Ngozi is pronounced "nnnn-g-oh-zi" so you hold the N if that makes sense. and the O is open like in brocolli.
I don't even know what that is and I'm Nigerian (igbo particularly).
What's obin zay?

Hi Hannah! Literally noticed your channel last week as a recommended, and am hooked! Great content, super funny and helpful! Thank you :)
Hey Hannah Witton I just finished “The Hormone Diaries”. I learned a lot. Thanks 🙏 so much for educating me.
Come Form Away is such an amazing musical and I am so proud to say I am from Newfoundland!!
I love watching your videos hannah so entertaining I enjoy every minute there interesting & comical at times.....they always energize me and it's thoroughly satisfying to watch
Animation wise I love Aardman movies, more well known for Wallace and gromit. Great video hannah!
thank you so much for introducing me to lucy and yak, I couldn't resist buying a pair for myself when I saw your instagram post in them and they're my new favorite clothing item!
I regret because now I want their sunflower dungarees and I’m like WHEN DOES IT STOP!?!

I saw Six in Chicago and I'm so happy you talked about it! It's everything.
Your earrings are always so stunnnnning!!!
You are one of my favorite youtubers and I'm always happy when I see a new upload from you :)
Chimamanda's books changed my life. 💛
Thanks for reccommend the 7 husbands of Evelynn Hugo.
I love how you've been wearing a pair of Gazelles thinking they were cheap knock-offs the whole time hahah wat
I read americannah after your 'how to decide which book to read next' video and enjoyed it soooooo much. I kept on exclaiming out loud to the amount of things I related to
As soon as you said Seven Husbands my heart gushed. Such an incredible book!
SO GOOD

I'm absolutely dying to see Come From Away! So glad you loved it!
Have you watched Good Omens or Grace and Frankie before Hannah?
My partner and I looooved Love Death + Robots!
Love, Death + Robots is absolutely fantastic! Some of the shorts were breathtakingly beautiful and very funny! And the one with the guy in the spaceship really fucked me up lol.
And the 3D graphics of some of those episodes is top-notch.
I loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It broke my heart into a million pieces
Six and Come From Away are incredible - two of my faves too! Loved this video, as always. Oooo 25th August is my 3rd wedding anniversary; I know how I'll now be spending it 😂

yay i missed your favourites videos! ❤️
Dead to me is unreal! Best show I’ve watched in a while
I love this girl and her presentations. I"m thrilled that she is a fellow book person.
So many people are recommending Americannah - very keen to read it :D
Holy Shiiiiiit Dead to Me was one my mom and I started and (because we both couldn't stand the dramatic irony) had to skip several episodes and watch the last two before we could finish watching the middle. The suspense is set up just so FUCKING well and I want to teach it in a class it's so good.
Music. I'm addicted to Retro Wave music.
Amazing.
Some youtubers like Digital Gravity make amazing mixes between old '80's-90's movie clip and Retro Wave music.
The Midnight, Kalax, Timecop1983, FM-84 and many more. Amazing bands.
Oh, the good old gazelle.
I'm more into the classic black though.
Hi, I love you videos! Do you have a Goodreads list where you have what you’ve read, are currently reading, and what you want to read?
I do! Should find it if you search my name !
I'm so fed up of hearing about Lucy and Yak being so great when the largest size they make is 16-18 UK. I asked Lucy and Yak 6 months ago about if they planned to extend their size range and all they said is they "might in the future"...

Been loving this recently- it's fascinating!!
hey hannah! really love the lucyandyak clothes but i never know what size to get as a short bean. what size are you getting and are the pants length wise okay? we are similar sized :D
Chimamanda is my absolute favorite, read the other books too they’re brilliant x
definitely read daisy jones and the six by taylor jenkins reid!!! sooooo good!!!!
I started clapping when you brought up "Into the Spider-Verse," a true woman of culture I see
kb I saw that movie 🎥 twice so incredible
I thought I’d got so mixed up for a second bc when you said Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I was thinking Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and I was so confused as to why your plot was completely different to mine 😂
I recommend Tuca and Bertie on Netflix for a wacky animation style and fun female friendship. I think you'd like! X
Ahh i love the lucy & yak trousers- been wanting to buy for ages- do they come up large or smaller do you think?
The clothes are generally baggy but the waist on the trousers is small. The dungarees I wear a XS and they’re still baggy on me!
Dead To Me is so good! And I loved how the series ended. Have you seen Fleabag? I think you'll like it :)
i had to take a deep breath with you because i was also having a stressful day! :’’’))
aaaaaand breath!
I did my undergrad dissertation on Americanah, loved all of it! I chose it nearly on a whim, so when I actually got a copy I was like, 'oh shit its over 400 pages', proceeded to only take me 3 days to blast through it xD
A conversation with friends sounds like the breakfast club to me 😂
Wow. I like your look. Sort of classy old-fashioned style.
Like '40's classy ladies.
Loving your channel Hannah 😎

gaming is so different from the usual content I make I like to keep it separate on twitch!
@@hannahwitton I had a feeling you'd say that and it does make sense to keep them separate tbh 😅
Thanks for the reply!
SUMMER has been really HOT AND RAINY
I'm a little bummed that Dead to Me was spoiled in the video...I hadn't gotten around to it yet :(
Oh man you should have gotten doing.it ! too bad it's not available
Hannah. Always. Talks. Like. She's. Putting. Full. Stops. Between. Each. Word.
I cant unhear it
Evelyn Hugo was an amazing book!
My personal Netflix recommendations, Lucifer, and He Never Died.
Listened to the trans & polygamous podcast with Kat black the other week- im neither but still found it so so interesting! Fav thing to do is put on a face mask and listen to yr podcast, or listen while im doing work in the house!
Oooh love the idea of face mask and podcast!!
Heey, I'm loving your channel.. the accent omg I love it
It was worth it subscribing :))
5:50 if you’re into art/animation you probably already know there’s more animation out there than Disney anyway lol
i love six!!
Dang, sounds like you need some Studio Ghibli in your life.
Americana 😍
amazing vidoe i enjoy
Sorry I missed today's twitch stream, I was out biking.
No worries at all! Next one is Tuesday 30th!
Hannah Witton hopefully I’ll make it! Still will be training for my century though

If you like different animation styles check out The Red Turtle and Loving Vincent
Hannah, please read "CITY OF GIRLS' by Elizabeth Gilbert! You'll love it!
Oooh I haven’t even heard of it! (I’ve heard of Elizabeth Gilbert though!)
Hannah, you and I have super different taste, and that's cool, and you're cool. 👍
Hello Hannah, do you plan somme fashion try on on your channel please?

Have you seen money heist on Netflix? I think you might like it :) if you watch it be warned you will binge.
I really didn't like conversations with friends unfortunately, but i'm going to give normal people a go soon
Another current favourite of mine is the Shagged Married Annoyed podcast. You should check it out is you haven’t already 💓

Just occurred to me that Hannah bears a resemblance to Suranne Jones.

AH THANK YOU!!
Noooo the trainers looked brown and I’ve been looking for brown trainers for ages :( WHY ARE THEY ORANGE
I love you Hannah
Converse are the most uncomfortable shoe ever made. They have zero arch support.
So pretty
Yaay karaoke twitch
I also preferred Conversations with Friends, the narrator in that one is bit of a snob, but both books are really engrossing.
Says Julie Andrews
Stop comparing six to hamiltoooonnn!!
I haven't read A Conversation With Friends but after reading Normal People I felt so bereft 😭
😍
