As a Dutch person I sadly hardly read any Dutch books because I genuinely hated all the Dutch literature books I had to read in highschool 🙃 but last few years I found some authors I do vibe with: number one being Hanna Bervoets! she's a young queer chronically ill author and all her books are so different from one another but all very good 👏🏻 her little novella that she wrote for "Boekenweek" last year is translated to English recently! I personally don't think it's her best work but definitely worth to check out, can't speak on the translation though since I read it in Dutch. it's definitely a heavy read as well though

Ally you NEED to read Book Lovers by Emily Henry. Talk about a romance with deep characters that don’t miscommunicate!!! A driven main character, an accumulation of subplots, the relationship between an older and younger sister, dealing with past trauma, dissecting the culture of a small town/community, and a love interest that is a dream. It is all that and more.

I personally haven't had any interest in reading the discomfort of evening since it came out here in the Netherlands, but here are some of my favourite Dutch books that have been translated to English: The opposite of a person by Lieke Marsman Out of mind by J. Bernlef We had to remove this post - Hanna Bervoets The house of the mosque - Kader Abdolah We slaves of Suriname - Anton de Kom The big ward - Jacoba van Velde We are light - Gerda Blees (will be released next year! One of my favourite reads of last year:) ) History of my sexuality - Tobi Lakmaker (will also be released next year it seems) There are so many more I wish I could recommend but they sadly haven't been translated (yet🤞🤞)!! It always makes me a bit sad to see so many Dutch readers say they don't enjoy Dutch books. Just like any other country we have boring books but also a lot of gems that deserve to be highlighted😄

I actually had an AWFUL reading month in April - I’ve been in a mental health slump and just staring at my phone instead of reading. Which I HATE! But I so appreciate your videos because they make me go “REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE READING?? DO MORE!” and BookTok/BookTube can sometimes make me feel terrible because I’m like WHY am I not reading as much as this person! But you come at these videos from a place of excitement and passion and it just feels like my friend is telling me about cool books they read instead of being like YOU HAVE TO READ THESE TOO YOU SHOULD ADD 100 MORE BOOKS TO YOUR TBR, which stresses me out lol. It’s such a joy just listening to you talk about stuff you enjoy. I don’t feel like I’m being judged for not reading as much or not reading the books you’re reading 😊

I've also read "It devours": I also like it but definitely not as much, although it does stand better on its own I think (it talks about the relationship between science and religion, when I read it I wasn't particularly interested in those topics so the book fell flatter for me). I still have to get a hold of "The faceless old woman" novel, but if you're planning on reading the novels I recommend beginning by the original novel, definitely! I loved it hehe (and if you haven't read the Alice isn't Dead novel I recommend it so so much too, I think it's the best rec for people who haven't listened to the podcast haha in any case I enjoyed that one so much too!

The more you talked about Dating Dr Dill, the more I was convinced to read it and the more I think you would enjoy The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary. It is my comfort book (and the audiobook is incredible). It has a lovely romance, plot and stakes outside the relationships, the characters are fleshed out and independent. It covers some deep topics - please check trigger warnings (abuse predominantly) - but is real, fun, humorous and sweet. It feels like a hug whenever I read/listen.

As a Dutch person, Dutch literature has always been more of miss than a hit for me. I've not been wanting to pick up The Discomfort of Evening due to its reputation. Your reaction to it solidified my instinct to just leave it entirely. I am not here for deliberate suffering, and shocking the audience just because. Dutch lit tends to lean into this so heavily. Some recommendations: Flemish author Griet op de Beeck, I love her stuff. De Brief voor de Koning by Tonke Dragt, a middle grade book set in medieval times. It's an absolute Dutch classic. Similarly, Kruistocht in Spijkerbroek by Thea Beckman. And I loved Pogingen iets van het leven te maken by Hendrik Groen. I believe all of these have been translated into English, bar Griet op de Beeck's stuff. Hope you like one of these recommendations!

I think the baseball bits have some soft of symbolic significance, I figured out that whenever a certain team does well, things get a little worse for our main cast, but I couldn't figure out why the author made that connection. Maybe it has to do with japanese culture, maybe I'm just stupid. Either way, if someone has figured it out I'd love to know. And big recommend on this book, It's beautiful!

I had actually heard from friends that it didn't pay off in the end. Your review makes it sound like it does much more, but I don't think I have it in me to pick it back up again. I read her other book Everything I Never Told You and only gave it 2 stars, so clearly she just doesn't click with me.

'de avond is ongemak', or the discomfort of evening, is such a typical Dutch book. So much unnecessary nasty uncomfortable stuff and completely insufferable. The Dutch mandatory reading list is completely compiled of these books. It's the reason i pretty much only read English books. Splinter Chabot gets a pass though. I love that man. Might be a little above your level of Dutch though, but if you're ready for it i think you might like it. His writing style is so fairy tale like. I personally love it, but the Dutch like practical, boring stuff :/

this isnt quite a book recommendation, BUT it is online and free to read. so. there's this genre of video games called Interactive Fiction, where the whole game is text (no visuals) and you make up the main character and make choices that decide (a) the plot and (b) the romance, if the book has romance. theres a lot of great games with this, but most of the ones i know are still works in progress, written and coded by one person as their hobby. saying that: *Mind Blind by Jo O'Connor (mindblindbard on social media). it's a wip with part of the rough draft demo out publically; more of the game, along with its edits, is on her patreon. it's a game where, essentially, everyone has mental-based powers or doesnt have any powers yet still have some form of mental protection around others. but not you. you are the only person in the world who has no mental powers or barriers, in fact, youre so vulnerable, that people without even wanting to prob into your mind (and people with powers that shouldnt include reading minds) can hear your thoughts. this game lets you personalize a LOT of things about yourself, but you are definitely not the chosen one. if you want an amazing story about siblings, romance interests that feel whole and unique (along with flirting with whole-feeling people you, game-mechanics-wise, cannot date), and some of the best comedy ive ever seen, definitely check this one out, it's almost all done on patreon *When It Hungers by Roast (roast-ifs on social media). this is a fun piece of supernatural horror that doesnt steal from any marginalized cultures, fat as i can tell anyway. i cant say if this is the scariest thing ive read, because i normally am too skittish for horror, but what i love about When It Hungers is it gives you an option for watered down versions of scenes and gives you heads up about triggers so you can decide either Water Down All Of It (like me) or Water Down This One Scene Because That's A Trigger For Me I See Listed. its also a wip, and there isnt much out (esp since the creator is doing some clean-up to move it from dashingdon/the choice of games engine into itch.io, and those are two totally different coding systems, and theyre editing the story along the way). but whichever version you decide to glance through has some really good material and its definitely a game i recommend following. (also, there's romance here too!) the creator also has a patreon, that has some world-building details on it, if you get sucked in like i did. however, the creator is also a college student, and as such that oftentimes takes precedence; but they dont charge on the months they cant be active. again tho, really excellent and adaptive stuff!! there's MANY other masterpieces i could recommend if you fall down the i.f. lover rabbit hole (which i think could be fun video idea to explore, maybe?), but those are rhe only two that felt relevant to this conversation and your interests lmao really cool video btw!! thanks for all the recommendations! ♡
