Happy New Year everyone! Thanks so much for the support. Super grateful for how the channel keeps on growing, and for the response on the latest video.
Looking back at 2024, what were some of your favorite books? (They don't have to be books that came out in 2024, just any book you read last year)
In the way of novels, I loved Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. As for short story collections, Fortune Smiles by Adam Johnson and How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer were both amazing. And my favorite poetry collection this year was probably Almost Home by Aaron Cance. Oh, and as a bonus, The Barracks Thief by Tobias Wolff was my favorite novella.
I hope to read more poetry collections this year, but we'll see how it goes, haha. What did you all enjoy?
One of these is a real poem by Lord Byron. One is an AI-generated poem in the style of Byron. Can you tell which is which? No cheating with Google! Explain your thinking in the comments if you want.
Hey everyone! Be sure to check out the most recent second channel video if you haven't already! This time, we took a look at the following works:
