thank you so much! it takes a lot of editing for me to get my thoughts together somewhat coherently but I appreciate the compliment nonetheless!

spotted 1Q84 just from the thumbnail. it does help that it’s like *cough* 700 pages long and so has quite a bit of space to print its 4-character long title.

This is a great play on the top ten books videos that go around every year. I might do a variation on it, because I never get around to reading books when they are published! I was excited to see station eleven on here... I loved that book!

thanks! I'm planning on doing a top 10 of 2019 too, but figured this might be appropriate for new year's eve. station eleven is/was so good and I still can't believe it lived up to the hype lol

Well it looks like Brass is going to be my first book purchase of 2020. It’s been on my to purchase list since you first mentioned it. Thank you for making great videos and for being so lovely! Have a wonderful 2020! Here are my top reads of the decade: World War Z by Max Brooks Ready Player One by Ernest Cline The Martian by Andy Weir Troublemaker by Leah Remini Dead Wake by Eric Larson The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas The Illuminae Trilogy by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg Neon Soul by Alexandra Elle Educated by Tara Westover Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski Bad Blood by John Carreyrou Becoming by Michelle Obama The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Blum White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo (I keep a written list of all the books I read by year and have done so since 1990...it made this list easy to create!!!)

I knew I had to watch this video when it came out, for I love watching your Top 10 lists! I did one for 2019 and another for all-time, because I did not feel that I could put together an efficient list of the best books from the 2010s. I will be reading more current books when the Booktube Prize begins, though. I was expecting that something by Haruki Murakami would make your list and 1Q84 has picked up the most attention among what he has written this decade. Out of the books you mentioned, the only one I read to some extent was Tenth of December by George Saunders and even there, I only read one story in "The Semplica-Girl Diaries." I thought that story was amazing, though, and one that I enjoyed discussing in both an individual video and with some of the other Gladiators. I do own Station Eleven and would like to get around to reading it. The others look very intriguing, though, and I would like to explore them a bit more when I get the opportunity. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great and prosperous 2020! -Josh

thank you josh! I have all of your year end videos in my watch later playlist but I hope to get to them very soon. "the semplica-girl diaries" was one of the standouts from tenth of december for me so you seem to have picked very well! hope you end up enjoying station eleven just as much as me! happy new year and the same back to you and the other gladiators!

The Semplica-Girl Diaries got additional recognition from being in The New Yorker, which is the version I read when I filmed my discussion about the story. I am inclined to read the rest of Tenth of December as well. I am hoping to enjoy Station Eleven as well when I get the opportunity to read it. I hope you enjoy watching our year end videos where we talk about our favorite books we read in 2019 and favorite books of all-time. Thank you for your kind wishes, too! :)

Do you ever keep track of how many books you read a year? I just started my third book. It's Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson.
