So I hope you enjoy it, I might do these more regularly if you do. Let me know. #BookTube #RecommendedReads #BookChat

Hello Simon. The only problem with watching other KZfaqrs channels is that it only increases the tbr. So many books and so little time! Happy reading to you.

And to you. I was just talking the other day to Ben Green about how brilliant it is that BookTube gets me all the more excited about books and reading. It’s like an eternal book buzz.

I'm from Finland! (Now in London.) You should definitely visit. People love Lapland in the winter, and it is magical, but Helsinki is lovely in the summer. If you go, visit the island of Suomenlinna off the coast of Helsinki & the national library Oodi. Also, highly recommned experiencing Finnish summer cabin vibes by either renting a place or going to a resort like Järvisydän or a hotel like The Barö. 😊

Hahahaha. When I thought of the chandelier moment I laughed at the very idea of it, so pleased it made you laugh. I’m going to get all the Caroline O’Donoghue novels when they come out with the new covers next week. You could have led me to a new favourite author. Thank you*. *Though if I hate them I’m sending you an invoice 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s fab isn’t it. I squealed with joy when it arrived it and saw in in real life, will be wearing often. Hope you enjoy Little Rot (and my video with Akwaeke if you watch it) when you get to it. I’m really looking forward to more Caroline O’Donoghue.

Irish authors lead my fave books of the year every year. This year, Alan Murrin is in the forefront with “The Coast Road” followed closely by Orla Owen’s “Christ on a Bike.”🚲

The only book I’ve finished this week is Orbital I’ve started one of my most anticipated books today. I preordered it ages ago The God of the Woods by Liz Moore I’m still reading The In Between by Christos Tsiolkas I’m looking forward to reading The Coast Road by Alan Murin I’m so looking forward to the Booker long list. The Rachel Incident was one of my best books of 2023. It was brilliant on audio. Chandelier takes on a whole new meaning.❤

@SavidgeReads Ай бұрын

I cannot believe I’ve still not read Orbital. She on me. I love her writing soooo much. The God of the Woods I want the US edition of, so adds to my ever growing list of reasons to go back to NYC this year or early next year.

Can’t remember if you’ve read Golden Child by Claire Adam. It takes place in Trinidad. One of my favorite books in the year I read it (2019, I think). It’s a pity about the dog violence Hungry Ghosts. That makes it a no for me. I can’t imagine the scenario where this type of violence is necessary for plot/character development, so it defaults to gratuitous for me. You’ll tell me that’s not the case and that’s fine. It’s just a shame I won’t be able to read what sounds like a promising book otherwise.

@SavidgeReads Ай бұрын

I shall give Golden Child a whirl as I haven’t read it but have heard brilliant things about in from lots of lovely people including your good self now, maybe that’s one for my BookTube holiday break. Sorry if I’ve put you off Hungry Ghosts but think it’s totally worth forewarning, some of book club were quite affected by it.
