Happy Belated birthday ;) I sent my Voxer message (there might a problem again) but I also wanted to say here that buddy reading experience was great for me. I loved talking about my country and my people in a buddy read ;)

Thanks for the wish and buddy read! 🤗 It was a lot of fun, especially having a Turkish perspective on the book! I hope we have more buddy reads in the future

I so need to get to Three Daughters of Eve - I have two copies! Same for Eleanor Oliphant - though only copy :) I have spoiled myself for books by looking at how people classified them in Goodreads. For example, if a book seems to be a thriller but is in fact a SciFi novel because of the twist ending. So I spent the whole time wondering how this could be SciFi and worked it all out by the middle of the book. Glad I came across your channel!

Wow, two copies! 🤣 I still have 2 more Elif Shafak English novels that I've not read so I'll get to those later. Your experience with genre-bending twists happened to me too - and often I'd start to feel less enthusiastic about finishing the book now that I kinda know what's going to happen. But if the writing is fun enough to read, chances are I'll persevere. Thanks for coming by and watching my video! 😁🤗

Happy birthday, Freddie! May you have a blessed year ahead! Where is your birthday bookhaul? By the way, I read Searching by Nawal, and I really like it. Her voice in the book is bold and I'm waiting for Woman at Point Zero (next month haul).

Thank you!! I'm slowing down with my book purchases right now but I hope I can have a belated birthday haul in April haha! Her voice is indeed quite fierce and unapologetic here. I'd like to get Woman at Point Zero too - in fact, that's the first book of hers that I heard of.

Happy birthday, Freddie 🎉 Exciting to be reading and submitting for the booktube awards Is there a book by Nawal El Saadawi you'd recommend to someone new to her writing? I'm trying to decide if I should add her to my reading list

Thanks, Katja! This is the only Nawal El Saadawi I have read, but I think it has a unique forceful voice, so I would recommend it for that reason 😁

Hope you had a good bday, and fingers crossed you will get 300 subs soon x Eleanor Oliphant...oh boy. It was an okay read... I only got it because it was very cheap in a supermarket. Very run of the mill fiction. It was okay but unsurprising in a lot of ways.

Thanks, man! 😁😸 I imagined Eleanor Oliphant isn't really your kind of book haha! Still quite early for me to say something (not yet impressed but it's not DNF-level bad) - I'm still at chapter 10, going pretty slow partly because I lost a little interest as I kinda knew what the whole "conversation with mom" is. 🙈🤭

@@SluggishReader I did read Oliphant all the way through at least lol. It is an easy enough read. The part where she has the egg sandwich in her handbag and gags when she goes to get her nails or hair done was my fave part lol that actually had me laughing.
