 Hey cuties, let's talk about what? Uh, excuse me death death to all of them And how are we doing today? We're gonna be chatting about the book talk books I actually like I wanted to chat about this right because I'm for like on booktuber, but like To book talk, you know, I mean, she's like the new girl who got really popular and we're like, huh I have to earn your stripes. I personally Don't really let myself have tiktok for very long. I constantly delete it on and off my phone I'm not constantly on the phone. I more often than not don't have it on my phone But I do go on there occasionally throughout the years I've been on there But yeah, I'm very interested by book talks phenomenon. I feel like in some ways with my love of memes I'm actually perfectly suited to making tiktoks, but I'm scared And I think what scares me off of it more than anything is not the creation side of it But is how my perception of it whenever I've had it is it is quite a nice selection of books They're promoting and everyone's reading Whereas I feel like booktube has a much faster quick turnover of the books people are recommending a lot of More difference, but I feel like there are books that get popular on booktube But I feel like it's a lot more variety. I also feel like let's just sit down and have a chat quickly about Colleen I've never read Colleen Hoover, so I can't really give an assumption. I've only heard people describe the plot. I what was that? Okay I wanted to make this a joke because there are some books from booktuk that I've loved that I've really really loved And so I want to chat about them But I guess the perception is booktuk doesn't recommend good books and for me the main problem is Colleen Hoover, right? No shade if you read Colleen Hoover I loved it But I feel like their adult books is my understanding of it and teenagers are reading them as if they're YA books And just for some of the you know what I've heard on the grapevine what the plots are about I'm like girl Maybe not I think if you're an adult you can perhaps separate the subject matter from what is healthy or not healthy But I do worry about teenagers reading Uh, you know Colleen Hoover and thinking that those relationships are like normal healthy relationships from my understanding They're not I mean again. I haven't read the books. I've seen two Influencers actually that I follow on instagram recently start reading for the first time I think because of tiktok and it's all like Colleen Hoover bit of Emily Henry as well But anyway, let's chat about the books that booktuk has recommended that I actually want to give my stamp of approval Firstly is the love my father says play Ellie Hayes a word I remember the main version has that that sticker on it not the sticker It's a stick you can't take off the tiktok sensation honestly those like stickers you can't take off Warzone warzone we're in the train chairs like This was big around the time that it came out on booktuk and this is the best romance I've ever read If you want a good romance read this read this like I'm like People who are reading kind of a full on instagram who obviously got that from tiktok This yeah, just I mean Ellie Hayes would just get in this we're following two characters one who's like Science research student one who's like kind of the teacher, but it's not like he's not her teacher You know The dynamics aren't bad. They're not bad. When you say student teacher, you think oh shit But like they're at university master. I don't understand all the science and will do his phd. I don't know Don't know what they're doing and they fake date and they fall in love and it's just like I hate his word. It's hot. I think I love grump sunshine I think all of my fake romances. I've ever read a grump sunshine perhaps. I don't know if it mirrors my relationship I don't think it like I don't think to the same degree, but yeah, we are me and Tom are a bit grump sunshine perhaps So maybe that's why I like it in romances. I just thought it was so well written I could not stop reading it. I had the best time reading it the resolution at the end Like, you know, all romances have that kind of like third act conflict and I didn't feel like it was too much I feel like it was understandable some third act conflicts like girl get it together just communicate But with this one, you could really understand the miscommunication and the conflict and I feel like it was resolved so well And yeah, tiktok was on on this shit on this one. They got it. They got it They got it and I'm glad that it got the success it did from tiktok because it deserved it Next is the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E Schwab. I feel like I don't talk about this book a lot I actually gave this five stars. I did a whole reading vlog for it when it came out we're following Addie LaRue who makes a deal with the devil essentially and What is in the snopsis? Stop why you stop why you're ahead She can live eternally, but she can leave no trace of herself No one remembers her any trace of her disappears And it's kind of we flick back in time between her in her kind of early days living this life And her now meeting Henry Henry. Oh my god, I forgot about Henry Henry This is up there is one of my favorite V.E Schwab as I've ever read I just thought this was beautifully written you could tell it was a book that V.E Schwab had really like Loved and given so much love and care and attention to I do love the books that take authors a long time to write I mean, I know that's not great for the coin But like when I think of people like erin moorgansson who put at donald's heart who put like books every 10 years I do love the kind of depth. It feels like a really like deep tapestry Um these books. So yeah, I really loved it. It made me so you know, there are critiques of this The fact that addie relives to threaded gears and like literally stays in europe and america like girl That's suspicious So I think there are valid critiques of it, but I think this is one of my favorite endings to a book It was very beautiful And again, I think it very much deserves the hype. Wow this like I love talking about books that I read a little while ago because it just takes me back to certain vibes That I am like recapturing in my life right now If you've never watched me before you're like girl Keep on talking. Anyways, next we have in my opinion one of the most deserving of the hype books This is always a book recommendation I give to people who don't read a lot if someone says to me like in my life I want to get into reading this is the book I hand them without a doubt and it's certain husbands that every Here you go. I feel like the normies love her You know tojun can read is one of my favorite authors ever one of the very few I think there's like three authors who I've read like three books from for example They've all been five stars like every book I read from her is five stars And I feel like this is perhaps the best place to start. This is a very I really loved this copy She like went through it a bit She's like go What were you doing to me? Anyway, so many of you all know this story. We're following Evan Hugo Who's this hollywood starlet from I think from like 1950s ish into like the 70s 80s 90s present day and we Talk about the seven husbands that she had in her life and who was the true love of her life And I just think it's I mean, it's just a good book, isn't it? It's just a good book It's just a good book Ted is really doing this very cool thing at the moment where all of her books are like advancing 10 years This is like I would say mainly 60s Daisy Jones in 70s Malibu rising as 80s and then Carrie Soto the next one is coming out as 90s Now Ted and can read do not go back in time to like the 1920s. Give us a naughty's book I will keep saying it give us a book setting the naughty's Lindsay Lohan Paris Hilton Britney Spears era How much do I have to ask how much do I have to ask her if she's not writing there? She's not literally at this moment sitting there writing that I host computer I am so powerful my mind. Oh, it amazes me sometimes. I might actually like email her I'm like Taylor, please whatever you're writing for your 2000s book Has to be this So anyways, yeah, I just think this has got beautiful writing beautiful storytelling made me cry once again tip talk like books That make them cry and I I respect that because I cry a lot of books. I definitely do want to reread this soon I also want to reread Daisy Jones because it's been a long time. I mean, I read this before I had my channel so it's been more than three years since I read this and I love it very much next is one that I actually can't believe is really popular Like I would not expect this to be and it's a good cause guide to murder by Ho Jackson one of my favorite Murder mystery is probably my favorite YA murder mystery series ever following Pip who you know is doing the school report and she is investigating the disappearance of a girl from her small town and her boyfriend supposedly admitted to murdering her But Pip doesn't think that is the case. It is mixed media. We've got interviews. We've got maps. We've got Production logs. Oh, it's so good. I just think this is the perfect YA murder mystery is so much fun It has so many like twists and turns taking you on the investigation with her is just so much fun So yeah, I can't believe this is popular though. I wouldn't really expect it, but I am so glad it was Next is my love my pride and joy heart stopper. I'm so I just love the love heart stopper As many of you know, if you're regular here, this is my favorite graphic novel series of all time It has been since the moment I read it. It was the first graphic novel I ever read probably yeah coming up to two and a half years ago now and I only watched the show once all the way through I did love the show but it doesn't have I don't have the same feeling towards it like I do this like I love them. I love that. It's just the way I was when Draws their faces like I don't even know if you can see. Oh my god Hold up Nick Nelsen Excuse me boy meets boy boys become friends boys fall in love. That's what it says in the back That's all you need tonight And I am just so glad that heart stoppers got the love and attention And support that it has it makes me so happy And I think there is nothing more deserving than these boys And his osement got best graphic novel ever. Then we have The House and the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune This was a super popular book talk book and I love this This is the story of Linus Baker Who works at the department in charge of magical youth and he goes to one of the orphanages And there's like magical children there And it's a story of him like falling in love with the owner of the orphanage and seeing the kids grow And develop and it's just a very beautiful Lovely book. It makes me want to read more cosy fantasy. If you guys have any cosy fantasy recommendations, please let me know I haven't read any books similar other than Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune TJ Klune is kind of with these books like in a league of his own I feel like I would love any recommendations You feel gets close to this but the warmth and the Like message for life that is in these books. I love Under the Whispering Door as well I don't know if actually no, I don't prefer Under the Whispering Door But Under the Whispering Door, I prefer the message and the hope. I really feel like that's very special Under Under the Whispering Door is about grief and loss and death I'm coming to terms with death and I think I read that at a time when I really needed that whereas this one I just loved the writing. I loved being in this world. I just I It's very it's very special. I have not read another book like it So I would love any recommendations that you guys have then we have one that I feel like has gotten popular quite recently On tiktok and that is before the coffee gets cold. I really did like this now I think my understanding is book tock loves this because it makes them cry This is kind of four short stories set at this coffee shop where if you go there and you drink coffee you can Like time travel But I think it's to only another time in the shop and you have to come back before the coffee gets cold And I'm not gonna lie. I did cry quite a bit in this Everything If you're looking, you know for a book to make you cry I would recommend this and then my final one is Six of Crows in Cooke Kingdom Again, I think perhaps this is so popular because it's had that next six adaptation Cooke Kingdom. I always say is my favorite of these two. I love it, but I love these characters I think liba jigo is Always one of my favorite authors to hear talk about how she writes because she gets it She gets what the people want and I just find that so interesting even ninth house, which was not universally popular I love I just think she's so interesting and just the cast of characters. She's created here is something if I ever Write a book I hope to kind of implement how these characters all bring such interesting unique dynamics to the table Sometimes when I read a book, which has a large group of friends They like either are all very similar, which is kind of boring or they all have like a kind of stereotype That they're encapsulating But they don't have much depth to them whereas I feel like all of the characters in this book Have so much depth to them the well-building the vibes the plot. Oh my god twists and turns I forgot like this book really keeps from the dark, which I love I love when they're making plots and plans the reader does not get all the information You get kept in the dark and then something happens and you're like I forgot how to breathe. I forgot how to breathe. I love this. I'm very excited. I'm reading uh king of scars Uh, not next book the book after and I'm excited, but I'm scared I'm hoping it's going to give me the vibes of this rather than shadow and bone, but we shall see So there we have it. Those are the popular book talk books that I love as well and I give my Stamp of approval. Let me know what books are popular on book talk You've loved maybe some if you're on book talk some recommendations you've got from there If you're not which of these books are your favorite I would love to know what you think of book talk and the book selections that it gives out I think it's very an interesting discussion to be had But I think there's a lot of gems that they promote and a lot of books like the love hypothesis, for example Really got it a success from being so popular on book talk and I think it was so deserving So yeah, let me know all your thoughts down below.
