Just a reader who is tired of every book rec being a romance and young adult fantasy.
Here I share my love for deep and meaningful fiction - from Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky to Yanagihara and Tartt.
If you also love classic lit, are a fan of character-driven mystery, or want to get more meaning from your reading journey - welcome to my channel.

If you have not decided what to read this winter yet, I have a fun prompt for you!
I made a winter reading challenge (classics edition). Just read a book based on the prompt and tick it off the list.❄️

Hello friends!
The holidays messed up my schedule a bit, but the new video is coming out tomorrow!
I’ve read two most anticipated books of 2025, and I have A LOT to tell you. Not all of it as good as I was hoping, but oh well…
So, be on the lookout for tomorrow!

Good morning friends!
I apologize for not posting a video on time - I have managed to break the computer by pressing just 2 buttons. I would have to say, this is my personal record. I have never managed to break a computer this fast before (feel free to congratulate me in the comments😅).
The new video is fully ready and is waiting to be uploaded. That being said, would you prefer to see it tonight (around 7pm NYC time) or tomorrow morning?

Hello friends!
This week has been very hard for me and my family as we got some bad news that we are still trying to process.
I will do my best to post the new video this week and I apologize for not doing it at the regular time. It was impossible for me to record and focus on editing.
Thank you for your understanding and I hope to see you soon :)
Bye-bye

Hello friends!
I unfortunately had to re-upload my latest video (Books for Fall) due to some technical issues, so if you are seeing it in your recommendations again even though you watched it, that’s why.
But everything is fine now, so I hope you enjoy the new recommendations list and find something new to read!
