that hairstyle is low-key giving misfit in a conservative preppy boarding school but in the best way possible y’know

This is so refreshing. I feel like all fall book recommendation videos recommend the same 10 books 💀

As someone who sees fall as the gateway to winter (cold, dark, lonely, depressing…) this video hits the spot

as an english beginner, i really appreciate your pronunciation, cause u speak really slow and i can understand everything perfectly lol I'm intrigued with all the books in the vid, love your content, kisses from brazil

YOUR HAIR ✨!!! It looks so pretty and fluffy I agree....the colors of death are so beautiful and fall is (for me at least) a cold , lonely and death but in a poetically beautiful way.

I really love the kind of books you read and how your personality shines through in your videos. You're so fun to watch and listen to. (And I've said this before, but you are so! gorgeous.)

FCK THE THUMBNAIL MY HEART WAS DROPPED FOR A SECOND YOUR NEW HAIRCUT LOOKS SO GODDAMN FINE ITS SOOOOO COOL😭😭😭😭

waiting for lonely friendless winter version 😇🥶

this whole video feels so wonderfully autumnal. you are loved, beautiful soul

i'm new here, but "lots of different colours because things are dying" lol excited for the books :))

This is my first video of you, and the eye rolls gott mE HOLLERING

The intro of this video was so funny yet poetic that I instantly subscribed. You seem great!

my prayers have been answered. not even a minute in, i’ll comment more later, thank u charles

Charles! Your hair! 🖤 Thank you so much for the constant new videos, king! Love the Fall and loved all your recommendations, I'm gonna go buy all of them, I want to read the things you read. Loneliness is such a profound, personal state that I know well and seek in books.

Being a lonely person. The title really resonated with me. Loved the video ❤❤😊

We still have 1.5 months left of Fall 😉 I agree... the colors of death are so beautiful 🍂

Thank you for the recommendations! They seem perfect for that melancholy but cozy mood of fall. Im biased because its my favorite book series but i feel like Lord of the Rings is so associated with fall to me. Outside of the descriptions of the shire in the begining that makes me so happy- the story in all takes place during the end of an era in the ruins of a greater time- Its literally in the Fall of the world. Perfect fall read to me, and of course reading the hobbit near the end of summer leading into fall. Annual tradition at this point 😅

I’ve been trying to put in words the reason why I developed some sort of disdain for impressionists paintings over the years - and here’s the perfect quote to express it. Thanks, I’m a subscriber now🥹

I’m rereading My Year of Rest and Relaxation now and I’m appreciating it way more the second time around.

love the new haircut!

new fave source for book recs 🖤🖤🖤

the king reappeared when the world needed him the most

I read "Out" back in the early 2000s. It took me two tries to read it, but when I finally got into it, it left a lasting impression on me as one of my favorite books. I just purchased the new cover version of it, planning on rereading it soon.

no cuz i hunted down that old vintage green copy of Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and risked it all on a sketchy ebay seller and ill still say that crusty musty dust book was worth it

love you reviews!!! 0 spoilers and describing the feelings you had when you read this books, really convincing!!!

Another winning choice of books. Good job!

0:46 aww that lil laugh here was so adorable!

Great video as always. Decided to pick up Eileen and MYORAR by Moshfegh. Read about 70 pages of Eileen yesterday and really enjoying it. Spot on recommendation as per usual 🙏

What a fabulous list!!! I very much enjoyed Horns by Joe Hill, and I really want to check out Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates and Eileen by Otessa Moshfegh!!! Your hair/hairstyle is beautiful- your set up is equally pleasing to the eyes- absolutely love it!!!!! Keep the magnificent content coming and until next time, sensational Mr. Charles!!!!! 🎉❤

First video I've watched by you and very captivating video! A lot of book list videos I skip through just to see what they are but this is very refreshing!

video was oddly comforting, loved it

I love men who read x

Literally the first video I saw of you and I pressed subscribe after the first 30 sec. The fastest I ever fell in love 😂😂❤️❤️

Also the goldfinch by Donna Tartt is great!

all of these r going to straight to my tbr! i loveee ur taste in books

Eileen! I just finished it. My 2nd Moshfegh. I love that you’ve mentioned the humor. The dark, wry humor. Pecan sap update? I’m interested again in the Wilkie Collins because of your experience with it. The babysitter story - the entire conversation in that bookstore - priceless 😂. You KNOW I’m going to read Foreign Affairs. But MY GOD the font is so small in that book.

It’s Spring here in New Zealand so will keep these in mind for March. Look forward to these. Am reading a light escape book at the moment, A dream of Italy by Nicky Pellegrino. That’s my mood at the moment

0:15 "and you know what, what was that "

okay wow some genuinely exciting (exciting in the sense that im excited to read them) book recommendations that arent the same books always recommended in videos :oooo thanks!!! with that being said it is currently the middle of summer in australia but idc!! i will be reading :p

Just found your channel and really enjoy your style of videos 💘

New subscriber here! I've been looking for a book channel that goes beyond just reviews and yours hits the spot 🙏 loved the vid!

I wrote three books last year. Do try them. 1. “Meditation and Spirituality a Philosophy” Sub-titled- “A path to attain a Steady Meditative State” 2. “Spiritual Encounters” Sub- titled - “Meeting the Himalayan Yogis” 3. “Social Pandemic” Sub-titled - “A Terminally ill Modern Society”

my fall was full of people and stress but somehow it was the most lonely time i ever had

Writers and Lovers is THAT girlllll, love it sm

i love the way you talk about the boooks, the emotions. keep going!!

can't wait to crack these spines in the midst of my serotonin deficiency ✨

Omg.... give Stephen King another try. I suggest my favorite, Delores Claiborne. Also a great movie!

i know it's quite different to what u usually post + talk abt, but do u have any recommendations for books that are magical + whimsical (preferably happy-- i read too many sad books + need a change), but not full epic fantasy, more just surreal/eccentric in a slightly more ordinary way? the downside is that i have already read almost all of the translated japanese books that make me think of this sort of thing (e.g. "earthlings", "the cat who saved books", "if cats disappeared from the world", the coffee ones, etc, etc, etc), so it can't really be any of those (unless u maybe know of some incredibly obscure one, in which case, pls share with the class bitch), and i've also read + enjoyed "bunny", "piranesi", ummmmmmmm i've also read + loved a LOT of mythology retellings, but i feel like they don't quite fit into this vibe??? and i'm happy to a read a book aimed at kids/middle grade too idc as long as it's good (like ofc "percy jackson", altho i stopped at some point actually, idk why, and i also loved "the last dragon chronicles" as a kid + even now)! ps i love all of ur videos so so much! they're all different + the books actually vary!

No one ever recommends Out by Natsuo Kirino and its simply fantastic! So creepy, so gory, so good!

OUT was one of my favorite crime mystery novels it was amazing

you have such an eccentric personality mate! These books sound great. I promised my bank account i'd quit the book purchasing addiction but...

First time visitor here, subscribing for the facial expressions. Please don't let me down.

YES to Foreign Affairs. Alison Lurie renaissance, please. That's such a charming book. And Writers and Lovers is an excellent suggestion. Out is dark, in the best way. If you loved Valley of the Dolls I highly recommend Diary of a Mad Housewife by Sue Kaufman. I think almost any Anne Tyler works for fall. She's an autumn mood on her own. I've got to get to The Woman in White. It's been on my TBR too long.

ooooh loved these thriller pics for fall! also Writers and Lovers was such a comforting read! something about the diner! the writing! being down and out and trying to get life together. something so small town about it. i haven't managed to get into Anne Tyler! i tried two books and just couldn't get into her! but if you know of a good place to start let a homie know!

Nice haircut! it suits you a lot dude!

I found Out at a used bookstore and reading it was definitely a wild ride lol

THE SUPREME APE ATE WITH THAT HAIRCUT

This was perfect.

Omg, I feel like you select books for your videos by picking them right out of my bookshelves!! Hahaaa! I loved Eileen….I’m a little worried the movie will be a let down. Also, I adore Ann Tyler….you must read The Accidental Tourist, one of my favs…and then see the movie which was great as well. Keep the videos coming! Thank you!

Omg yes even when I searched for "Babysitter" book online.. First suggestion that came was "babysitter club" 😂lol

New hair looks great

Thank you for this we all needed that💗😌

just discovered this yt channel & I am very happy about it! 📚📚📚

Autumn reminds us how beautiful it is to let go.~Someone smart. But seriously I love fall and winter. There is nothing better.

“Out” is one of my favorites for its genre. 5/5

22:50 I felt that.

id love to see a video where you share your music taste with us :)) its so interesting to see peoples music taste and book taste and compare the two

I haven’t read “Out,” but I LOVE the movie. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have English subtitles.

Always enjoy a video from you

You have intellectual girl taste which is everything i want

oooh, new hair who dis 😚 💅 now i wanna make a video like this!! i read Goat Mountain a few years ago and sheesh, THAT was bleak. i’ve been wanting to reread it because it’s the perfect fall book. the book just *feels* cold and lonely and deathly. a murder happens pretty early on, on a hunting trip, and the rest of the novel explores really dark themes of the consequences of decisions even as a child, how unconditionally should parents love and protect their kids…i dont wanna say more than that in case u wanna read it. it’s short, and so good. all ur recs are now on my tbr!! especially Out. i’ve had the same frustration recently of not liking ANYTHING ive read. all modern authors ive read recently are just awful. im also tired of character tropes, like the fucking manic pixie dream girl, the coming of age teen boy that likes her, the hot jock she likes instead, her mean popular girl foil, iykyk. i just hate all books rn. and all audiobook narrators are annoying too. cant catch a break 😂 thanks for another great video! been loving them!

I didn't know Joe Hill was Stephen King's son omg! You should definitely read "Pet Semetary" by Stephen King. Its not a niche genre of horror so you might like it. As everyone loved it😂😂

謝謝寶貝Charles, I am intrigued to read the book « Foreign affairs » for this season 謝謝你的精采分享

That Joyce Carol Oates Barnes & Noble anecdote LMAOOO

Apskskd first time I see you but I felt like we were besties bc I do the same faces and expressions, I know we would be making the same eye rolls together😂😂

Your hair looks so good best friend! 🥰🥰

I'm a prude but put Out on my TBR because I'm also a rebel.

great video ! :] my tbr is full now loll

I have missed you so. much.

Have you read 'Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant'? by Ann Tyler? I remember really enjoying that book when I read it about 7 years ago.

The only book among your fall recommendations that I have read is Foreign Affairs by Alison Lurie. I loved it and have reread it. Based on that experience I will try some of the others on your list starting with Writers & Lovers.

Cute queer (?) boys talking about books and fall, the KZfaq algorithm knows my gay heart so well.

Great review! I am in the middle of John Irving's The Last Chairlift. Loving it, but I love all his work. Also by him and a good book for this time of year and my favorite of his is A Prayer for Owen Meaney. Check them out. Love your work!

we need an update on the car sap situation

Just discovered your channel, i looveee ittt make moreeeee contentssss

I’m trying. Im trying to move past this crush, but you’re making it very difficult with this hair 😢

In the UK a lonely fall is when your granny slips on the stairs

I loved the horns movie. May have to read the book.

How did you feel about American Psycho? I read it over the summer and I was really just unsure of how I felt in the end and what to make of it. Also, have you read any Dostoevsky? I found a bunch of cool editions of his books at Goodwill and snatched them all like the greedy wench I am. Now, I'm unsure where to begin.

you’re cute and well read i’m immediately subscribing

uhm loving the hair btw !

Natsuo Kirino is great. I actually recommend Grotesque over Out, but they both touch on similar themes.

Period babe I am a slice of life girly and listening to you intricately gush about these books is making me want to try a new genre of books 📚🥰 Also when you said "this is probably me being racist" when you referenced Squid Games it made me laugh out loud. LMAO

immediately I knew that Valley was being mentioned from the thumbnail

i thought you’re pewdiepie for a sec💀 nice video!

Not lonely anymooooore 😎 can’t wait to watch this lol

The Babysitter's Club was actually a book series before it was a graphic novel.

Ugh I'm sad how both Joyce Carol Oates and Jacqueline Susann are not released in my country anymore even though they're pretty popular here too. At least I can find old editions.

i am not a fan of stephen king myself (him not going at least one chapter without mentioning boobs in a weird way might contribute to that), but i bet you'd like the shining! especially good as a winter read: the atmosphere, complex and well-developed characters, and the mystery ofc

You are so Secret History.
