  • wow. alot of good feedback for kazuo, i'll go check this book out.

  • I really enjoyed the book of Never Let Me Go, but I found it slightly disappointing compared to the film as the relationship between Kathy and Tommy is less strong. The ending's different as well, but the beginning and middle is charming. The way Kazou handles the different flashbacks is really admirable.

  • hello ther :) i enjoyed reading kazuo's Never Let mego, but i see the book you have has a different cover...what year is your book copywrited? and wher do you think your brother got it?

  • Awesome presents!

  • I just got so excited when I saw that you got House of Leaves because my friend read it and it blew his mind and I'm planning on getting it soon; so I definitely like your idea and can't wait to read it myself. :]

  • Happy belated birthday Sanne! Also your eyes look amazing in this video. :-)

  • Have you read The Invention of Hugo Cabret?

  • House of Leaves is fantastic, in my opinion. I hope you love it :)

  • hey there! happy belated birthday :)

    i was wondering, what are those snazzy little flipbooks called? like the sideways ones that make reading the book way more compact and such. are they just called flipbooks? i can find them here in sweden but since swedish isn't my native tongue i would prefer to find a few in english. i can't seem to find any websites for them that don't link straight to comic flipbooks. any ideas?

  • @awesomenerdfighter They're called flipbacks. I think it's a Dutch concept. Over here they're called 'dwarsliggers'. Maybe you will be able to find some online if you look for flipback.

  • never let me go, is my favorite book <3

  • Happy Unbirthday!!

  • please do a review of never let me go soon :) i've seen the movie and i'd love to know how the book is

  • House of Leaves is amazing. But, man, is it heavy. Prepare to have your mind messed with so much.

  • I saw the movie version of Never let me go and was incredibly frustrated by it. I don't think I ever saw any movie that made me that upset before (upset as in mad at how horribly bad it was. Not in a badly made movie way because I actually thought it was beautifully done, but the entire story was horribly bad). I read that the book was supposed to be much better. Well we'll see. I plan on reading it too and look forward to your review.

  • I'm writing my Dissertation on Never Let Me Go! I love it. Much better than the movie (the movie's very reductive), as per usual, but I have to say the film does a phenomenal job of capturing the tone of the book. Also, i haven't read house of leaves either, but I have friends who have and it's phenomenal, apparently. You eventually get in to a rhythm and the style of the book becomes second nature (all the flipping and turning that's required, making reading a physical experience.) Have fun!

  • that looks like a textbook! wow!

  • I actually kind of want to read never let me go - but i don't really like depressing books (and it is apparently one).

  • NEVER LET ME GO IS SO GOOD. Oh man. better than the movie, for sure.

  • Woah I couldn't even have imagined you were 23, I was thinking more 19ish? Nevertheless 23 is NOT old and I certainly would NOT worry about it AT ALL. And I would just like to say you are my favorite youtuber, I love your book hauls and book reviews.You've inspired me to do the 50 books in a year challenge (which I totally have been failing at :/ ) And most of the books I have chosen to read are books that you have reviewed. So yeaa... DON'T STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! :)

  • U SO BRIGHT

  • Happy birthday! I turned 23 last month, so yay for 23!

    I mentioned my copy of House of Leaves in a recent TBR video and it's STILL in my TBR pile, so hopefully that will get read this month. I've heard great things about it!

  • i just bought A Million Suns too! I'm going to read it after i finish Inheritance, i think! :)

  • Helmikuu!!! :D

  • I'm not the first (or second, or third, or fourth) person to say this, but you'll really enjoy Never Let Me Go. I sure did! The gorgeous movie cover is an added bonus.

  • Into the Wild is awesome, but I never saw the movie.

  • Ahhhhh Never Let Me Go is brilliant. If you liked the movie, you'll love the book.

  • happy birthday and thumbs if you're the 1000th viewer :P

  • House of Leaves is one of the only books my mom ever had to stop reading because it became too difficult and time consuming to read. Of course, she's the type of person who would read while driving. Annotating it and switching with Marion sounds really neat.

  • I just finished A Million Suns, it was good.

  • I had to read Into the Wild over the summer for school like 2 years ago and I personally didnt like it much. It seemed to repeat the same things over and over again. Plus it was required reading so that may be why I didnt enjoy it haha. Hopefully you like it better :) (I did however enjoy the movie lol)

  • I got way too excited when I heard "helmikuu" at the end. It's been too long.

  • House of Leaves sounds like an Autumn book.

  • Does the helmikuu thing mean that you're doing a video a day again? Or is it there just because it's February again?

  • Never Let Me Go is fantastic! You won't be disappointed. It reminded me a lot of Brave New World, so if you enjoyed that it should be a good read.

  • Into the Wild is FANTASTIC book. I highly recommend it! It reads like fiction despite being fiction which I really liked. I also liked the way Jon Krakauer supplement's Christopher McCandless' story with Jon's own experiences in the wild. Because Christopher is gone its impossible to know how he really felt but hearing how Jon felt in his own life or death experiences definitely helped me get a better idea of how Christopher might have felt. It's an all around great book and really made me think

  • I love Across the Universe, but I haven't read A Million Suns yet.

  • Another cool vid. Belated Happy Birthday.

  • House of Leaves is freaky!

  • I read never let me go over the summer and it was one of the best books I've ever read :)

  • Happy Birthday! I've been wanting to read House of Leaves forever but alas I am so poor and it is quite an expensive book. I've heard it's kind of scary and very meta and just looks so cool. Also, I feel very proud to have read both Never Let Me Go and Into the Wild before seeing the movies (and actually preferring both books to the film versions). I can't wait for you to review everything!

  • happy happy happy happy happy birthday fellow dutch speaker ^_^

    omg i'll be 20 in 3 months

  • I saw Never Let Me Go the film and have yet to read the book (don't tell Hank Green!), but its high up there on List of Things To Read. You'll have to share your thoughts on how you like it!

  • Never let me go is an astonishing book. I think you'll really love it. :) x

  • Into The Wild helps you make more sense of the movie. It's totally worth owning. I didn't realize Never Let Me Go was a book. I saw the movie quite a few months back.

  • Never Let Me Good is really beautiful put together...but very slow moving. :)

  • I read Into the Wild awhile ago and really enjoyed, I watched the movie first then read it and the book gives more insight on his travels. And more backstory of the locations he visits.

    Happy Belated Birthday :)

  • House of Leaves is awesome. And insane. And Hark a Vagrant = yes.

  • A book, who would have thought you would like that as a present? You are full of twists and turns.

  • I'm pretty sure I have your jumper haha! H&M? I wear it to school because it's really cosy haha

  • I have the same copy of Never Let Me Go! so pretty :) enjoy reading it!!

  • OLD

  • Your ending! It's back! Maybe it was never gone, but yay!

    That made me happy.

  • Yea i want to read Never Let Me Go really bad. Oh btw please check out our channel! Would mean a lot!

  • Please do a review on Never Let Me Go when you've read it :) I loved the film and i really want to read the book! :)

  • Never Let Me Go is a really great novel. I think you should consider reading it first. I've been meaning to pick up and start reading Across the Universe.. I should do that...

  • I just read Across the Universe a few weeks ago. I need to get A Million Suns!

  • feliz cumpleaños desde mexico !!!!!! (it means, happy birthday from mexico) 

  • House of Leaves is amazing!

  • Never Let Me go is really good. You should read that one first!

  • EVERYTHING to do with into the wild is amazing. It's my favourite movie, and has the most amazing soundtrack! If you like the book, you should check out into thin air, which is written by the same guy, and the film adaption for that is amazing, my second favourite film after into the wild :)

  • HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY!

  • Into the Wild was such an amazing movie!

  • never let me go is an amazing book!! i haven't seen the movie yet, but the book was incredible!

  • House of Leaves is really good, confusing but just keep pushing through. Its worth it :)

  • I have house of leaves as well! I have once started reading but I got confused by the footnotes... I will try again soon though!

  • Never Let Me Go is my favorite Ishiguro book, much more in depth than the film (though the film was very good).

    I've been meaning to read Into the Wild for a while so it will be interesting to hear what you have to say.

  • Into the wild is amazing, and as great as the film is, as awes inspiring as the soundtrack is... it is the book that is the real deal, a life changing read, in my opinion. Please do film a review.

  • I wasn't able to properly see the books because of the light, but cool haul and happy birthday!

  • @KiwifruitFig Yeah, even color correction couldn't fix that. Thanks though :)

  • Happy birthday!! Enjoy your gifts :)

  • I've read a bit of Hark a Vagrant on the creator's website. Hilarious stuff! That collection of comics is what inspired me to give graphic novels a chance.

  • Happy Birthday!!

  • House of Leaves is that way because it's meant to be like a movie(i.e. when the text flips upside down, the character is upside down)

  • House of Leaves is my favourite book of all time, it's the absolute best!

  • happy belated birthday and you look a little younger than 23 :)

  • The Into The Wild movie, book, and soundtrack are 3 of my favorite things ever in the history of amazing things.

  • House of Leaves is a really, really intense book, and requires darkness and lots of tea. Trust me.

  • jij leest alle boeken die ik voor engels moet lezen haha, never let me go, 1984, brave new world.. ik raad je ook nog the white tiger aan! en het toneelstuk equus

  • "Into the Wild" is a very enjoyable book. And my gosh, yes, I forgot about the soundtrack. So much mello loveliness there :) I read "House of Leaves" a while back. It was fun! The footnotes (where you see those pictures and poetry) kind of pull the story away into these wild tangents, so I didn't go through all of them. Which means... I didn't read the whole book? Anyway, enjoy!

  • Is het niet koud om nu buiten te zitten zonder jas? :3

  • oh, start reading house of leaves first. if you're into gothic, atmospheric, psychological stuff you are gonna love it.

  • Gefeliciteerd! Was het niet heeeeel erg koud om buiten te filmen? De boeken lijken me erg interessant, ook al heb ik alleen van never let me go gehoord.. Ik ben benieuwd naar je reviews!

  • @moienhge Haha het viel wel mee. Ik had lekker veel lagen kleding aan :)

  • Never Let Me Go is a seriously good book!

  • Last year I read "Across the Universe" after watching your review of the book. I loved it. Although in my mind I kept picturing Amy and Elder as much older than 16. So, as soon as I realized "A Million Stars" was out I ordered it right away. Read it in less than a day. Loved it as well.

  • Helmikuuu!!! :D 

  • @Livetowin89 :)

  • ssoooo dont look 23!!!

  • Never Let Me go is an awesome book! Hope you had a good birthday! Btw I loove your jumper, wheres it from? :)

  • @CrazyBoutBillie Thanks! It's from H&M (it's a men's jumper).

  • I own house of leaves... for YEARS actually and I've never been able to figure out exactly how to read it. There are also codes on some pages that you have to look up online! I hope you share some tips or tricks on how to read it (or maybe it just overwhelms me, I don't know). And also, I'd like to wish you a happy birthday! Happy birthday! (pretend this is in song :D)

  • happy birthday! enjoy reading :)

  • "Never Let Me Go" is excellent! It's way better than the movie.

  • I missed your birthday. NOOOO! I would have sent you a postcard. -_-

    Though I guess I can still send you one... Hmmmmm!

    I bought Into The Wild (the movie, this is) a while ago on a whim, but still haven't watched it. This has inspired me to do so.

  • omg, happy happy birthday :D :D :D: D :D

  • Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer? So so so so good! And the film is fantastic. The soundtrack, mostly by Eddie Vedder is beautiful - I'm very jealous of that present :) haha.

  • I /looove/ Hark! A Vagrant! I read her comics online, I obviously need to pick up her book.

  • since when is 23 old?

  • Happy belated birthday! I own House of Leaves =)

  • nice update! :) would love to hear your review of Never Let Me Go so you can make a comparison to the film and all that

  • @TimH078 Thanks! I'll definitely do that :)

  • I love Into The Wild! I love the book, I love the movie and i love the soundtrack. <3

    There is hardly anything that is as fascinating as the story of Christopher McCandless...

  • Happy Belated Birthday!

    Kate Beaton has to be one of my favourite comic artists. Hark! A Vagrant is fantastic :)

  • i read never let me go and saw the movie too, theyre both really really good. but the book's obviously better.

  • Into The Wild is really really good!

  • You're not old. And yay for HELMIKUU. And cool books. And that's all.

  • Belated Happy Birthday!

  • oh man! love itthat you loved into the wild AND the music! ieeeep x

  • i really want to read across the universe too :)

  • My god you are the same age as I XD ppl born in 1989 rulezzz :D

  • @Sztormcia Woooooooo 1989!

  • You be old now!

  • Helmikuu?! Why'd you have it at the end? So random.. means febuary in finnish :D

  • there's a Into The Wild book??The movie was amazaing!

    HELMIKUU

  • @muumi93 Oh man, the book is SO much better, haha. Definitely read it!

  • @owlssayhooot I think I'm going to have to now!:)I just hope it's just as good in Finnish

  • happy belated birthday! books for presents are so good :) for christmas I got 3 books and I already read them.

    my new job is in a different city and because I am unwilling to move there I am sitting a lot in trains and have a lot of time for reading. I already finnished 6 books in january.

  • Happy Birthday for last week! Let's hope you and Marion see eachother soon so you can do that book trade!

  • Never Let Me Go is a fantastic piece of literature!!! I listened to it as an audiobook first, because I wanted to see the movie only after I've "read" the book. And then I bought it. I love everything about it: from the story, to the beautiful way it is written, to how it is a sort of science fiction but it is not centred around machines or anything extraordinary. It is a great story which really makes room for a lot of contemplation after you read it. Hope you enjoy it and make a review(:

  • Getting a load of books is definitely a good trade off for becoming "old".

    Hark a Vagrant! is the best! Sometimes I wish I had an ounce of Kate Beaton's talent so that I could do comics about history too.

  • Gelukkige verjaardag!!

  • Never heard of House of Leaves??? woow. Classic English/Digital Culture course literature.

    Woop

  • Kate Beaton is one of my favourite people in the whole world. One time she @ replied me on Twitter and I collapsed from awesome.

    (btw, new subscriber. Heard about you from Sarah/curiouscookie ^___^ )

  • For me you should start defenitly with Never let me go!

  • Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, Sanne!

  • Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag!

  • Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!! :D

  • Happy Birthday! :)

  • Read into the wild first! I love it. We had to read it for school and I ended up keeping my school copy XD

  • Happy Belated Birthday!!!

  • 23? :O I thought you were a bit younger. Don't think that's a bad thing though. Happy belated birthday :)

  • Yay new video!!!! happy birthday from ages ago!
