Lily's Hot Take on Literature β˜•οΈπŸ“–
New episodes every Saturday & Wednesday ⏰️🎬

I'm Lily, an English Literature student making video essays about classic books through a modern lens. Literary analysis meets honest conversation. Dracula as a pandemic novel. Catcher in the Rye as a book that shouldn't be taught anymore. Frankenstein as a dark comedy. I'm serious about that last one.

No plot summaries. No fake neutrality. Just close readings, real arguments with evidence, and sometimes confessing "I was part of the problem" while holding a Gothic novel. The comments section is our chaotic book club where every hot take is welcome.

New video essays every Saturday and Wednesday. Literary criticism, book discussion, classic novels, and the occasional terrible pun.

Subscribe if you like book analysis that reads old stories and asks what they teach us about right now. We read classic books here so we can understand our own mess. πŸ””πŸ’‹βœ¨πŸ©ΈπŸ“š

Online shopping is convenient but nothing beats getting lost in a bookshop for an hour and leaving with 3 books you didn't plan on buying.
Fight me:)
