In A Holidaze was such a nice, fun, cute read. Honestly I almost gave up on the romance genre because everything that's considered 'trendy' is just a romanticised toxic relationship. In A Holidaze proved that there ARE some romance books I can get behind, I was just too unlucky hence I got horrible recommendations. I just have to keep digging to find more books with good romances.

I can't thank you enough for recommending The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse. I borrowed it from my local library and read it in less than 1 hour. It was amazingly touching, warm, ordinary, extraordinary and simple. It felt like a series of life philosophies more than a story but it instantly became one of my favorite reads of 2021. I've also since picked up She Came to Slay, Rage of Dragons and The Blade Itself and I'm really enjoying them! Can't believe I've taken so long to do so.

Wow me too, but it won't be long before they come along. They will be leaving super long and opinionated book opinions or reviews. Nobody will want to read through all of it unless they have also read the book, or they want to read the book. Unfortunately, some viewers of this channel might accidentally click the "read more" button by mistake. These people will have to handle a large amount of scrolling through these entirely too long comments. Seriously, how dare these people make such long and useless comments of such a length. Really, do they not realize how long they're taking to type? Do they go in with an evil smile spread across their faces? Perhaps we will never know. Never the less, we will most likely never see the end of comments like these unless KZitem decides to put a limit on the number of words that one is allowed to type when commenting. Perhaps there already is such a limit of this kind, and I am yet to know of it yet. Maybe we should email, call, text, or tweet KZitem to find out. We could do all four, along with all the other options I did not mention, including writing a letter, reaching out through Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform. Another way of finding out though, is to simply test the limit, which we would never had thought of doing, if it weren't for those annoying commenters who tend to take forever! And often times it isn't even a book review. It's a very long and super monotonous comment that is only telling a long story with no point, which is fine, but personally I would rather read a book about how chainsaws are made than an essay on how one time a person couldn't find the cap to their water bottle. But those comments rarely appear here on this channel, so that's a benefit of watching book related channels on KZitem. I'm sure in reality these innocent commenters mean no despair to us readers, and that they just wish to share their opinions and experience s with everyone they can, but perhaps they could learn to tune it down a bit. Honestly who would be so deliberately evil that they feel the need to write out eight hundred full words just to provoke and annoy another human being. Do they have nothing they like to do in their free time? They could play a sport like basketball, soccer, volleyball, football, baseball, and so many more. Or if sports aren't their thing, they could spend their free time making art pieces. If they like typing so much, they could even be an author! Or they could do what they probably love to do if they're on this channel, and they could read a book! I am almost certain they have a huge pile of books just begging to be read by them. But all the same, I'm sure they do not have rude intentions. In fact, I don't really see much of a problem when I realize that this is a channel full of people who long to read as many books as they can in their lifetime, so why would they have a problem with reading a long comment. It would be as if they were reading another book. On the other hand, this could be because book lovers do not wish to spend their time reading long winded comments, but rather reading actual books. But what if a comment were to be published and made into an official novel? Would people enjoy reading it then, even if nothing about the actual comment has changed, other than its format? Maybe there is something to be learned from these people. Maybe we should all realise that no matter what particular thing someone is reading, they are still indeed reading, whether it be a newspaper, a recipe book, or the instructions on the box of a lawnmower. As long as you are taking in the text, you are in fact reading. Then again I'm sure these are just average people with normal lives who simply want to get their opinions out there, and that they rarely think of how their comments may affect other people. What do I think? Well, I think that no matter how long a comment is, someone felt the need to put it there, so why not give reading it a shot? That is only my opinion though. Maybe everyone else disagrees with me, or maybe I hit the nail on the hammer and everyone who reads this comment will agree with all of it. Who knows? I know I don't. All that I can say is that while they may be annoying, comments are still comments all the same.

Ooh, listening you talk about Tubmans bio I think you'd really appreciate The Black Count. It's a biography (so the following hopefully isn't too spoilery) about Alexandre Dumas' father. It's sometimes quite meta, he was the prototype for Count Monte Christo and Porthos. And he was a count who was also the son of a Caribbean slave and at one point might have become the military leader of the French Revolution instead of Napoleon but drama happened.

I've asked for book two for Christmas and I can't wait to continue with the series. Some other books I enjoyed and would recommend to everyone in the comments are (in no particular order)... 1) Everyone's an aliebn when you're an aliebn too by Johmny Sun 2) If we were villains by M. L. Rio (this was a reread but it definitely deserves to be here) 3) The Secret History by Donna Tart 4) Lord of the Flies by William Golding 5) The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man by Jonas Jonasson (this was the second book in the series, imo the first was better but this was still quite good) In the new year (or maybe in the little period after christmas but before january) I plan to start a book given to me by a friend called Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe, hopefully I'll like it, it was strongly recommended to me.

I divided them into Doctor Who, Fiction, Non-fiction, and Poetry. I won't force you to read them but these are the top books. Sorry everyone else for the list thing.

My Favorite book of the year hands down was The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Something about how wholesome and episodic it is just hit that sweet spot. I've really been going hard on the Scifi this year.

Aw, I was hesitant to pick up In a Holidaze since I also have a hit or miss relationship with Christina Lauren but I’m glad to hear you loved it! That’s basically a green light to me 👀
