hello everybody! today, I am filming a tag video. I got tagged by my friend Emma and
it is the finally fall book tag so let's do it.
I wore an appropriate sweater. number one, in fall the air is crisp and clear: name
a book with a very vivid setting. I chose a book I read in the month of October
and that is spellbook of lost and found by Moira Fowley-Doyle. this book is set
in, I believe it's spring or like early summer, but it still feels very out
autumnal because it's really rainy and spooky and there's like magic and
witchiness and it's just really really vivid. number two, nature is beautiful,
but also dying: name a book that is really beautiful- beautifully written,
but deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief. I've read a lot of really well
written books about loss and grief and things like that and I can just name a
ton of them but I think my favorite one that I think of almost daily is We Are
Okay by Nina Lacour. this is set in upstate New York over winter break. the main
character has lost someone very important in her life, but also dealt
with a really big realization, so she's just really reeling when she starts
college and when winter break comes around she's all by herself in this
barren school campus and it's just a really interesting and vivid setting and
it really reflects the tone of the book which is very empty and sad and a lot of
grief so I think this is one of the most powerful books I've read this year. I
love Nina Lacour's writing and this cover is unreal. number three, school is
back in session: name a nonfiction book that tell you something new. one of the
most powerful, important nonfiction books I've read this year was Ta-Nehisi Coates'
Between the World and Me. I haven't picked up his new book yet but I want to.
this is kind of a series of essays or one long essay written by Coates to his
son. this is a story of race in America especially about the black body
especially about the black male body and how it's constantly under attack
throughout history, but also in modern America. it's incredibly powerful. I have
so much highlighted in this and I feel like I learned so much and got so much
out of it even though it's quite a short book, so I super recommend picking this
up. I think you'll learn a ton especially if you are also a white American who
does not have to face same things that black Americans do.
number four, in order to keep warm, it's good to spend time with the people you
love: name a fictional family household friend group that you would love to be a
part of. obviously, my first thought is like Hogwarts. I want it. I want to be
with Hogwarts students. then my second thought was the Daughter of Smoke and
Bone. I want to be best friends with Karou and Zuz, but then the third thing I
thought of was Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. I love the little friendship
group. I also love Francis and her mom, which is a really great family unit, but
I also just love the friendship group in this book and I think it'd be so much
fun we'd just like read a bunch of books and talk about our favorite pop culture
references and it's just so great. I super recommend this one. number five, the
colorful leaves are piling up on the ground: show us a pile of fall coloured
spines. this is a short pile because it's the only ones I could reach without
moving a ton so I have here Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi which is one of favourite books of
the year and has this incredibly gorgeous cover, oh my god. The Sun is Also
a Star by Nicola Yoon. Paulina and Fran by Rachel B Glasser and The Girl of Ink and
Stars by Kiren Millwood Hargrave very orange and autumnal. number six, fall is
the perfect time for some storytelling by the fire: share a book where
someone is telling a story. the first one I thought of was The Mothers by Brit
Bennett, which is another book that I feel like I rambled on quite a lot about on
the internet and it is narrated, or kind of every chapter opens up with a little
bit of narration kind of a Greek chorus style point of view from the mothers, or
the elders of this African-American community in Southern California. so it's
ultimately the story of Nadia, our main character, but it's narrated all of her
choices and her experiences are kind of narrated by this Greek chorus town
elders. really, really interesting. a really beautifully written novel. can't
wait for Brit Bennett's next book. number seven, the nights are getting darker:
share a dark creepy read. I honestly don't read a ton of like dark, creepy
reads. if you have recommendations, put them down below but one that I did read
earlier actually in the summer I think was Down Among the Sticks and Bones by
Seanan McGuire. Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire is actually a
prequel to Every Heart a Doorway, which was the first book in this series but
Down Among the Sticks and Bones is a lot creepier, a lot darker, very spooky and I
really like it. number eight, the days are getting colder: name a heartwarming short
read that could warm up someone's cold and rainy day and that for me is the
Night of Cake and Puppets by Laini Taylor. I'm so happy this was now a
physical book and I really want to get the UK edition, as well, because this is
just so cool it's all-- it's got tons of illustrations throughout it if you've
read Daughter of Smoke and Bone, you know the main characters in the story it's Zuzana
and Mik and it's kind of they're coming together story while Karou is off like
saving her family and trying to save her family and save the world whatever, but
this is so cute. I read it earlier this year as an e-book and I want to reread
it with all the illustrations now that I have the physical copy but it's really
short and it's just so so sweet and I did know I needed it until I did and oh,
my heart was so warm reading it. number nine, fall returns every year: name a
old read that you want to return to soon. I have one here and this I actually just
read earlier this year but Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. this whole video
is like a Laini Taylor love fest, but that's also just my whole existence.
Strange the Dreamer was so so good I really want to listen to the audiobook cuz I
haven't listened that yet so I'm trying to make time for that but I'm really
behind in my reading right now. another one I really want to read it as well is
A Great and Terrible Beauty. my roommate Monica is doing a Libba Bray kind of
read-a-thon where she's revisiting some favourites and also reading new ones. I
really want to read some Libba Bray, as well, in the month of November. Great and
Terrible Beauty was one my favourite books growing up, so I really want to
reread that one. number ten, fall is the perfect time for cozy reading nights:
share your favorite cozy accessories. I don't really have any cozy accessories.
back home, I love my parents couch and all of their chairs, they're so freakin
comfy you can just melt into them. I really have one I have a cozy blanket
here that I might do some reading in this fall and winter. I don't know. I also
like to have a cup of tea, though often the cup of tea gets forgotten
and gets cold. and number eleven, spread the autumn appreciation and tag some other
people. I don't know who's done this. I'm always bad at tagging people in tags.
I'll tag Rachel Sterling, because I don't think she's put out a video in a
little while. I'll tag Kat, or katytastic, since don't think she's done
this video yet. I don't know who else. if you want to do this, do it or answer the
questions in the comments down below. thank you Emma for tagging me, thank you
for watching this video and I'll talk to you again very soon!
