I loooove sentient houses! I do have Thistlefoot already on my shelf so now I'm even more excited about it!

The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years has an almost sentient house that is storing up scents and noises of its inhabitants as well as keeping secrets. It is a mystery of what happened 100 years ago. And I think my favorite part was the house.

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride also has sentient house vibes, and I recommend it a lot for Erin Morgenstern lovers because of the atmosphere!

Ok you got me with that description of The Last Watch!! Definitely adding that to my TBR! I had seen it around but I guess that generic cover didn’t entice me or something but your quick summary has me really interested

Oooh! So happy to see Amina Al-Sarafi! I just brought that book home from the library today w plans to start it tomorrow morning. You’ve hyped it a lot & so far your recommendations have been solid, so I’m excited to love this pirate & her adventures!

Jamie in the kaiju preservation society is actually never gendered!
@ThoughtsOnTomes 4 ай бұрын
a few people have said that! I didn't realize that. I didn't think people were using "they" for them - I could have sworn other characters said he.

The Last Watch immediate add to my TBR. And totally agree with you about Marra - she's such a great character. Kingfisher writes wonderful female protagonists.

sam girly I'm begging on my knees for the annual fav & least fav couples video 😭💗
@ThoughtsOnTomes 4 ай бұрын
I don't think I'm doing it this year :(((( I didn't track couples last year and almost none stand out to me. I may look at my 2023 reading and see if I can muster and top and bottom 5?? But I'm not super hopeful based on lack of standouts.

Ive been wanting a good solid scifi so will check out The Last Watch, thanks!! I love the question fave friendship dynamic, i dont see enough of that in books i read. Adrift by Brideau had a surprising ride-or-die female friendship develop that I loved. ❤❤
@charityyoder9028 4 ай бұрын
I think my a lot of my favorites from last year come from the kill the queen series by jennifer estep. Best male ? SULLIVAN. best friendship ? Oh, yes. Good friendships. Underhyped ? Severely. I think I read all 3 books over two weeks. Plus the first book has a travelling circus type thing set in fantasy land. Best female character was ikenna from the blood trials. No weird sentient place recs though !

Seeing your love for sci fi novels: have you read any of Andy Weir's books? I've only read Artemis, and I really enjoyed it, so if you have, what book/s of his would you recommend the most? Love your vids! 💜

Jamie from Kaiju Preservation Society isn't a man. Jamie was never given a gender or described in the book.
@ThoughtsOnTomes 4 ай бұрын
really?!? I could have sworn they are described as a man! or at least people aren't using they for them.
@circusofdamned3206 4 ай бұрын
@@ThoughtsOnTomes Yeah there no discription an the author in an interview stated that Jamie isn't gendered and could be anyone.
@rukbat3 4 ай бұрын
@@ThoughtsOnTomes I didn't realize this until it was pointed out by someone after I finished the book either, but I am pretty sure that Scalzi managed to write it in such a way that Jaime is never referred to in the text with ANY pronouns, not even they. So Jamie could be a man, a woman, or nonbinary. We just don't know.

Sentient spaces? I think you would enjoy Mexican Gothic if you haven’t already read it 😊
