An oldie but a goodie, it's the Mid *cough* 3/4 *cough* Year Freakout Tag. I've got quite a lot of catch-up reading to do this Autumn, but I know this year's favourite books roundup is going to be 👌

I would freaking love to watch a video detailing the characters in the Grishaverse and all the correct pronunciation of the words in those books that would be amazing lol.

For Gideon the ninth - try the audiobook! I totally get what you’re saying with accessibility of the writing, and the audiobook narrator does a really good job of setting the tone and differentiating character voices so it makes a bit more sense. I often listened to the audiobook while reading the physical book and that felt like the optimal way to read for me personally.

I finally read "Song of Achilles" this year. I was ready to fall in love with it and it surpassed my wildest dreams. Absolute favourite of the year and going on the all time favourites list.

Yes!!! My favorite booktuber! Sanne, I love your work and you helped me get back into reading again. I’m becoming an English teacher, and I plan to incorporate more contemporary classics into my curriculum (The Hate U Give, Station Eleven, etc.). Thanks so much!

The Six of Crows audiobooks were hilarious to me, exactly because of the 'Dutch' pronunciations. The first line has the name Joost in it and I was not ready for the way the narrator pronounced it!

Please, oh please, make video about Sea of Tranquility x Glass Hotel x Station Eleven. I absolutely adored the structure of SoT and seeing familiar characters once again was a real treat!

I’ve been commuting for my job, which means a lot of reading on the train, and I absolutely tore through The Anthropocene Reviewed ! I knew pretty much nothing about it going in and it was honestly so good, a lot more emotional than expected too

I thoroughly enjoyed Lapvona and it was my first Moshfegh book. Excited to hear what you think about it! I went from reading about 2 books a year, to 42 this year so far so my concept of favourite book of the year is quite strange… So far I have really enjoyed, Lapvona, Salt Lick, The Stranger, Convenience Store Woman, The Buddha in the Attic and The Story of my Teeth. :)

I've had 15 five star reads so far and I'm struggling to pick between them! But last month I read The Final Strife and All The Light We Cannot See which were both absolutely fab

Please read the wall by marlen haushofer from your penguin vintage earth series! It is such a beautiful story! Very compelling and sort of distopian, nature, animals, feminism. Woman in nature living her daily survival life in the austrian mountains.

I also LOVED Six of crows, but not so much the audiobook. Not just the Dutch names (although that too, I remember them pronouncing Jan like in Janice? 🤣🤣) but also the pronunciation between the narrators wasnt consistent?? For the invented words in particular. That really bothered me. Amazing book, pretty bad audiobook.

The other books in the series are read by one narrator, so it’s a different vibe and I really like them.
