The part that made me kinda snicker was when they were talking about Matthew Perry's book, and Tyler said something to the effect of, he wrote it before he died.😂 I was just like, "Yep, that's generally how that works."😂 Seriously though, RIP MATTHEW... I was so devastated. Ps. I want to read that one. As the child of an addict.... I'm sure I'd learn a lot.

Having grown up with a single parent (mom), and not having much money, my siblings and I were encouraged to read. Every day our mom would drop us off at the library right after school. We would spend hours reading books and then would bring home stacks of books to read over the next couple of weeks. Now as an adult, all of my siblings and myself, we still read tons of books and pass them from home to home to share the joy of reading. I’d like to recommend a couple of books and I think it would be fun to have the two of you read your viewers suggested books. My suggestions are The Glass Castle and Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Wells.

For your book goals, you could always categorize your goals. So, for example, you could set a goal of 10 books over 300 pages, 10 books over 200 pages, etc etc.

In all honesty I cannot believe you two even have time to read. With all the videos, Vlogmas, remodeling,the girls, traveling, editing travel videos, where do you find time to read?? I love it of course because I'm a voracious reader. I read every single night when I go to bed. I loved The Hotel Nantucket too. I love anything Elin Hilderbrand writes! I was glued to Prince Harrys book. I am still shocked that I am reading and loving the series, A Court of Thorns and Roses. I'm reading book #2 now. Also loved the Fourth Wing series. This is not a genre I was ever drawn to until now! Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year, Tyler and Jessica 🥳🎉

Favorite memoir of the year: Viola Davis’ “Finding Me”. She is a marvelously deep and inspiring person (in addition to being a superb actress). I picked up her book precisely because I admired her acting, but what a surprise to learn of the depths of her early struggles and her triumphs over adversity.❤❤❤❤❤

I was just at the bookstore yesterday & purchased a previous recommendation, The Thursday Murder Club & thought of you two the whole time I was there "Jessica recommended that", "Tyler recommended that", etc. I definitely prefer one long year-end book video personally as opposed to splitting it into 2 videos every 6 months. Mainly because I get used to you all being apart of my day, every day during vlogmas, then after Christmas we kinda go through withdrawal, but there's this video to look forward to, but obviously I am only one person & I'm not the one filming it. Thanks for another wonderful year! Happy New Year's Braun Family!🎊🎆

@InquisitiveOwl365 6 ай бұрын

I'm hoping if they do the split that means they can take more time discussing the books (chatty book discussion vs quick overview w/opinions) and don't have to worry about the video being 'too long'. It is nice to have a video after Christmas though-there aren't many since a lot of youtubers take a break right then.

@hlu777 6 ай бұрын

@InquisitiveOwl365 Very fair & valid point. They did do a 6 month spilt one year [I think it was last year 2022], but unfortunately, it was still rapid fire therefore it was just a shorter video [around 15 min if I remember correctly], which is why I said I prefer this format. The other issue I had with the 6 mo. split was that in the Dec video (July to December books), they were constantly referring back to the Jan-Jun books & video, but because it had been 6 months since we'd seen that video it was super confusing & quite honestly irritating that we essentially had to re-watch the first 6 month's video in order for the 2nd 6 month's video to make sense. Admittedly, that might not have been an issue for anyone else. Obviously, I'm only one person/viewer & it's not my channel so if everyone else wants the 6 month split and/or if that's how they prefer to shoot it, that's ok with me. I'll watch it either way, but the full year in review is simply my preference. If they do, do the 6 month split it would be really nice if they did what you said & took more time to do a more in-depth discussion about each book and when they refer back to a previous book it would be really helpful if they would edit in the clip from the prior video so we don't have to hunt it down & keep bouncing back & forth between the prior video to the current video a million times. I completely agree. It is really nice to have this book video between Christmas & New Year's when everyone is taking a break. Especially coming off of vlogmas where we all get used to the Braun's being part of our everyday lives. It really helps ease the transition process. Thank you for your comment. Hope you have a nice day.😊

The Paths We Choose is an autobiography by Sully Erna of Godsmack. Even if you don't listen to their music, if you like stories about musicians, I think you'd like it. I found it fascinating. It's a pretty easy read. Also, I'd hear his voice in my head while reading it.

Some of my favorite books of all times - Angela's Ashes, The book of Negroes, Fall on Your Knees, Memoirs of a Geisha and No Great Mischief. My goal this past year was to read a "new" book & a "classic" every month. I don't have a lot of extra time for reading...but that will change. I read some Hemingway for the first time, it was a great goal for the year. Now I've set 5 books per month for 2024 and I started last night with Fourth Wing. Happy New Year to everyone, and happy reading!

Happy New Year and thanks for sharing your book recommendations. I was on the fence with a couple of Audible books but you have helped me decide 👍

I’ve been looking forward to this video! It’s always a favorite of mine. I definitely added a few of the books mentioned to my To-Read list on Goodreads. Thank you!

Wow, 75 books in a year! That's truly impressive. I really appreciate the effort you've put in, offering such detailed reviews for each book. Your passion for reading is absolutely infectious. Here's to another year of great books! Happy New Year, and keep up the fabulous work.

The “book trophies” are so funny, whenever I finish one I get rid of it! Lol

Thank you so much for making this video every year, I really look forward to it and always get great book recommendations. Kite Runner is one of my favorite books Tyler 😊. So many great suggestions once again. I thought I was an avid reader but you two put me to shame and your friend that reads 100 books a year, I tip my hat to you all!

You all will love The Gilded Age! I own or have read some of the books you all talked about and if I haven’t I have downloaded them tonight on my Kindle. I love that you all do this video!

I didn’t even finish watching but I wanted to say I was doing the same thing Tyler. My goal was 50, as I was getting closer to the end of the year I was also picking smaller books. Going forward I’m not sure I will give myself a goal. I read 25 books and I am happy I was able to accomplish that. I just wanted to get back to reading and I did! Okay let’s get back to your video for recommendations for 2024! Thank you both for sharing this! Happy New Year!!
