what are some of YOUR six star reads? 🌟🌟🌟

Usually I am just a quiet viewer and don’t comment but I felt the need to tell you about my favorite book of all time. How We Named The Stars - Andrés N. Ordorica Please check out the description on Goodreads. I can’t even begin to describe it myself. It is the most beautifully written book I have ever read and I have never cried harder over any other piece of media. It has made be consider dropping all of my other books on rating because it’s just so good. It just came out this past January and I think more people need to know about it.

TJR has such a way of writing that make characters on paper feel real and I love that! My 6 star reads are boys of Tommen series 😭😍

Shelby Van Pelt Remarkably Bright Creatures Tovah was in Washington state . Thanks sharing, you have some great 5-6 ⭐️

Loved hearing Great Gatsby was your comfort read in college! It so totally was that for me as well! Am now a subscriber to your channel and super excited to read The Song of Achilles! Looking forward to your future recommendations!

I hate hate hated Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I felt so depressed after, but it was neat hearing a different opinion from someone that liked it! I'm 35% through Remarkably Bright Creatures and enjoying it so far! My 6 star reads are The Silent Patient as well as The Collected Regrets of Clover. I'd recommend The Maidens by Alex Michaelides if you like Greek mythology!

You've a calming voice, where i can listen to whole day. New subscriber here❤😊

Book favourites are certainly a matter of opinion, and everyone has the right to enjoy what they enjoy. However, these books appear all the time on booktoks, and are certainly rather hyped up. I've read 23 books this year, and I can't imagine that all of the ones mentioned are 5 stars. The only two out of my 23 challenge this year was the Brother Karamazov by Dostoyevsky and Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beech Stowe, and I only gave them 4 1/2 out of 5, and these are amazing literary reads.

❤📚 I've read many of these and totally agree! The ones I haven't read are on my tbr. Now, I am even more anxious to read them! Thank you for the great reviews!

I cried at the end of The Song of Achilles! LOVED it!😍

Just stumbled across your channel today and was thrilled that you mentioned The Secret Life of Bees. I fell in love with this book soon after it was written and convinced my principal that it needed to be taught in our Southern Lit class (which I taught, or course). I adored teaching this book! I wanted my students to experience the book - not just read it. We had bottled Coke and peanuts (not everyone was convinced to pour their peanuts in the Coke) and I let those who wanted to try kneeling on grits to do it - after I had tried it and realized that T. Ray had hit upon one of the worst punishments ever for Lily. Have added a couple of your other books to my want to read list on Goodreads. Thank you for the recommendations!

Remarkably Bright Creatures is stunning. One of my favorite books of all time! 💕

Fun list. TJR is amazing. I loved The Song of Achilles which jumpstarted my love of Greek retellings. My favorite classic is East of Eden by Steinbeck (almost anything by Steinbeck is incredible). The story is great. The characters well developed and the symbolism amazing. Highly recommend it ❤

The Secret Life of Bees!! ❤ Its been one of my all time favorites since 2007 as a sophomore in highschool. It is beautiful and yet heart wrenching. Definitely worth a read. Also I have been questioning the Tomorrows since it came out as a BOTM.. and you sold me 🎉 adding to my box next month.

Wuthering Heights/The Little Prince/I Capture the Castle/Rosemary's Baby/The Shining/Demon Copperhead

If you loved “Love & Other Words” I highly recommend Every Summer After by Carley Fortune! Similar story but I preferred ESA so much!! 😭

Thanks for the list! I agree with you on many of these. My recommendations include The Murmur of Bees by Sofia Segovia; A Little Life by Hanya Yangihara; The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, and A Gentelman of Moscow by Amor Towles. Happy reading.

All of your pics are so good!! I loved all of them and they are all in my personal "hall of fame" (except for romance I will check that author out) But Song of Achiles is so special and amazing! unexpected and deserves a platform.

I discovered your channel through this video. No need to beg! Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge

I just finished this phenomenal new book of fairy tales entitled Sillies, Fancies, and Trifles - it was phenomenal and I think you'd love it. It would go with the lovely recommendations here. Keep up the beautiful videos :)

I Look forward to adding some to my list 📚

Agree with a lot of your book recommendations. I also enjoyed The Housemaid by Freida McFadden and Birthday Girl by Penelope Cruz.

Loved remarkably bright creatures and him as a character

i am sorry but i cant trust book recs from anyone who gave 5 stars to normal peope😭😭😭

Thank you for this video! I am one of those that WANT to read (audible) my commute to and from work allows for the time … but I can’t commit to a book so I’ve added these books to my library I just need time press play 😬

I agree with most of your recommendations- I’m like you and read all types of books

I LOVE CHRISTINA LAUREN TOO!

Have you read beautiful little fools by Jillian cantor?? It’s a great gatsby retelling from the pov of the women. It’s on my tbr for this month! My friend loved it

So many here that I also love! 😍 Especially Tomorrow x3, Gatsby, ACOMAF, and Beach Read. I think I need to re-read the first two Shades of Magic books and then get to the third one because so many people love them and I want to give them a fair chance now that I’m more of a fantasy reader!!

Have you read alone with you in the ether?? By Olivie Blake. I think it’ll be a six star for you. I feel like it ruined me in the best way and I am chasing down that same feeling and luckily did with vicious by VE Schwab! Highly highly suggest both!

I love Christina Lauren. I loved the Unhoneymooners and I'm about to read Love & Other Words. I am not a fan of Emily Henry but then again, I'm more of a mystery/thriller, classic or basic fiction reader. The Great Gatsby and Jane Eyre are my absolute favorite books! Those two, as well as Little Women, are my comfort reads. They're just the best.

I really loved My Favorite Half-Night Stand, too!

Remarkably bright creatures is a perfectly written novel. I also love everything Taylor Jenkins Reid and this old English major UCLA alumni loves The Great Gatsby… my favorite of all time.

When i saw that you loved "Normal people" i decided to subscribe and watch the rest!!!!❤❤

If you like song of Achilles, have you tried Circe? It’s beautiful

I love how different our opinions are on Normal People. I HAAAAAATED it!!! But I love all you other recommendations!! Looks like a couple books will be added to my TBR!!

I love your tast...which is strange to say, as we tend to love the same books. Every 5 Star book of yours is now on my TBR. But we have the same favorite Authors and it is just amazing. I wish you would post more often, as I look forward to everyone of them. Thank you. Have you ever read the unbearable lightness of being? I would say that it is my favorite classic, but all of your 5 Star books (except for three that are not on my TBR) are also my 5 books, so you might like it.

I can’t believe I still haven’t read an SJM book yet😅 I really need to get into ACOTAR when I have the time!!

I couldn’t put Remarkably Bright Creatures down!

6⭐️? I rarely find a 5⭐️ outside of poetry or classics.

I read Seven Husbands and watched Daisy Jones so I have no doubt I’d love Malibu Rising. She is phenomenal.

One of my all-time favorite sci-fi books that has an amazing love story is Recursion by Blake Crouch. I highly recommend it to everyone!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. It’s my comfort read. I love August. Finding Me by Viola Davis Unpopular opinion- but I thought Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow was cliche and predictable. There were aspects of the story I liked, but on the whole - I couldn’t figure out why it was so popular ~Then again, I don’t play video games 🤷‍♀️

If you love a Taylor Jenkins Reid, you gotta read One True Loves!!!!! It’s my favorite of hers!

Hi, I am Ann and also read The Great Gatsby in high school decades ago. I wasn't thrilled with it but I didn't hate it. I might consider a reread but there are so many books to read, I am not sure I want to reread anything right now. I just finished listening to Happy Place. I am a very conservative woman and didn't realize what I was getting myself into, but I do agree that the author really had some interesting themes and the development of her characters as deep. I also like a second chance romance (not for me because I think that bridge is well burnt) but reading them feels satisfying for some reason. The Secret Lives of Bees is not memorable for me. I think I read it in a book group but I cannot recall anything about it. I loved The Red Tent. I am into thrillers and psychological drama (is that a genre or did I just make that up) So Lisa Jewell and Karin Slaughter are great options. Happy reading

You should add Baye Hartshorne s Ghosted The Treason House Trilogy Book 1.Great paranormal romance

Subscribed. I'll be coming to you for romance novels.

"Just a single man, Fyodor Dostoevsky, is enough to defeat all the creative novelists of the world. If one has to decide on 10 great novels in all the languages of the world, one will have to choose at least 3 novels of Dostoevsky in those 10. Dostoevsky’s insight into human beings and their problems is greater than your so-called psychoanalysts, and there are moments where he reaches the heights of great mystics. His book BROTHERS KARAMAZOV is so great in its insights that no BIBLE or KORAN or GITA comes close. In another masterpiece of Dostoevsky, THE IDIOT, the main character is called ‘idiot’ by the people because they can’t understand his simplicity, his humbleness, his purity, his trust, his love. You can cheat him, you can deceive him, and he will still trust you. He is really one of the most beautiful characters ever created by any novelist. The idiot is a sage. The novel could just as well have been called THE SAGE. Dostoevsky’s idiot is not an idiot; he is one of the sanest men amongst an insane humanity. If you can become the idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky, it is perfectly beautiful. It is better than being cunning priest or politician. Humbleness has such a blessing. Simplicity has such benediction."

I have DNF’d every Emily Henry book. I don’t even try anymore. And LOATHED Archer’s Voice.

So glad I found your channel. Many of your selections are my favorites as well ❤🎉New subscriber

Thank you!

Immediately subscribed. We definitely have the same reading style ❤

you would love the boys of tommen series!

Read all but one!!

I LOVED Taylor Jenkins Reid until I read Carrie Soto is back. That was not the book for me lol. Could just be the tennis lol.

TJR is my favorite author…. I haven’t read the seven Brothers of Evelyn Hugo as of yet, I usually read Romance but I loved All her others, I just get lost in her books All 5 stars for me

Soooo, one of your FAV books of all time is Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow? LOL

6:53 could not loath this book more…but that’s bc my adhd brain couldn’t comprehend her writing for the life of me bc she doesn’t use ”quotation marks” I wish my adhd wouldn’t get in the way bc I really think I would’ve liked it 😭

Yes, I agree with Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow which I bought two years ago, when it came out, for my daughter. I read it first.

I give you 3 out of 5 stars.

These just seem like extremely popular books, not extremely good books for the most part.

Can’t trust anyone who likes normal people, beach read, happy place and song of Achilles 🤣

Why do you keep saying I should buy this book?? We definitely can borrow books if we can and we should because papers are made from live trees! Please encourage people to be more mindful of wasting precious resources by borrowing from libraries and friends 🌸🦋🌷💜

Happy Place🤮

Apparently you have read none of the great novels. This is just recent pap. Branch out and see what you say next year.

Normal People…. So sorry, the worst book ever for me.

For some reason the KZfaq algorithm is feeding me all these "best books of all time" lists from people under the age of 40, in some cases under 30. Absurd. I would never in a million years have had the arrogance at so young an age to make a list with the phrase "best of all time' in it. And then their choices are mostly just drivel...

Yawn. 😊

No hate here but just want to let you know that some of those authors are problematic. Happy to see you've found your comfort books.
