Hey, BookTube, it's Sylwia. I'm supposed to be posting this on December 31st.
Hopefully I am because this is my top favorite reads of the year video. I
picked 5 fiction novels and 2 non fiction novels and I stayed away from
the manga and the graphic novels because I have a feeling none of you care about
those. And I've been reading a lot of graphic novels in December and I just
didn't want to be biased. It's a lot of pressure to talk about my favorite books
because I have so many feelings and my favorite books are so politically
charged and so fucking feminist that I almost don't want to put myself through
the emotional pain of talking about how incredible these books are. I feel like
if you know me, if you don't know me then like go back a couple of videos and get
to know me, but if you know me you know what it takes to be one of my favorite
books. I am such a critical reader. I think I've embraced that. I'm- I'm
critical about is the plot clever, was there great enough representation, is the
book healthy for readers, what is the writing style, do I like the characters,
did I enjoy reading it. I'm so critical. I nitpick when I read books and I love it,
I love every second of it. Hopefully this is something you like about me. But
now that you know that, now that you know how critical I am, I feel like that's all
I need to tell you about these 5 star incredible novels that I need you all to
read. Please read Dietland. It is satire but it's extremely easy to read. You're
not gonna want to put it down. And it's the most fat positive phenomenal
goodness. If you don't know anything about fat positivity or if you've
struggled with fatness or your opinions on fat radical politics, please read this
novel because it teaches you everything I need you to know. I felt like when I
was reading it I was just like check check check check, you're beautiful. Like,
just kissing it before I went to sleep. Please read this novel. The Female of the
Species is a little similar. I would say it's even more basic. It's even more easy
to read, even though it's about rape culture. The author does such a great job
of talking about rape culture in just, like, a completely digestible way. It's a
little bit of a bizarre book. it's about a very violent murderous protagonist but
her murdering and being violent is directly a consequence of rape culture.
Please read it. Juliet Takes a Breath is feminist gold and it is about a Puerto
Rican New Yorker and she's queer and I think she's thinking about the label of
queer as she's learning about feminism and she's learning about queerness and
even about what it is to be a New Yorker she goes to another state to like
discover feminism and white feminism is dragged in this book and it's fantastic
and the fact that, like, not everyone has read this book is bananas to me. Just
wild. Out of this world wild. To, like, lower the tone for a moment.
I really enjoyed Fairest of All. I think this is more of a personal preference
sort of thing. Feminism really has nothing to do with it, I just really
really love the writing style in this novel. I've always loved it. I read half
of it in 2010 and I finally finished it this year. I really liked it and I am
looking forward to reading the other stand-alones in this series. Lastly, my
favorite read of this year was Graceling. I loved it so much that I actually have,
like, a standalone video in which I talk about 18 reasons why this book is
awesome, so I will link that down below. I just strongly recommend it. If you've
ever had any inkling of picking it up please do especially if you're a fantasy
fan I feel like it does the medieval fantasy genre justice. So those are my
fiction faves of the year and I still felt very emotional and passionate when
talking about it. And my two nonfiction which I will just very quickly mention
because I know most of you don't care about nonfiction but if you have to read
any nonfiction next year please let it be No Sweat which is a novel talking
about the psychology of motivation and specifically picking exercise as
something to focus on because exercise is something people hate doing and that
requires a lot of motivation. So this psychologist, this research psychologist,
talks about the science of motivation by using exercise as her examples and it's
it's fantastic and it's fat positive it is everything. And my second favorite
nonfiction work. If you could, like, guess this before I say it then that means,
like, we're truly friends and you truly know me and if you know it without
having ever talked to me then that means you truly know me and we should be
friends because my second favorite non-fiction read of the year was If the
Buddha Married by Charlotte Kasl. I cried and I love it and I live
for it and I am, like, the truest romantic there ever was. I don't even read romance
novels because I'm a more romantic than a romance novel could ever be, but this
this was romantic enough. If you're a true romantic like me you need to read
this and cry and just, like, take videos of yourself crying and share them with
me. So those are my favorite reads of 2017. A little bit different than I
usually do this but this was a trash reading year if you've seen my one star
reads of the year video. Please let me know down below what your favorite reads
of the year were even though I suck at responding to comments and therefore I
would actually rather talk about this on Twitter, so let's do that.
Tell me on Twitter what are your top 5 reads of the year? Come talk to me on
Twitter! <3 And have a Happy New Year!
