I’m curious who recommended what 👀 such an eclectic list.
aww thank you sm! 🫶🏼 well all i can say is that a lot of books got recommended by more than one idol from the list haha
I figured as much 🙃
Thank you for making this list! Which ones are from Hyun(xlov)? 👀
ofc!! i made the list mostly for myself but i thought there would probably be some ppl out there wondering what idol bookworms were reading and recommending too 🙂↕️
so far i have only "if cats disappeared from the world" from hyun. but he did mention some more books in their behind videos as far as i know, i just didn't had time yet to look through them all 🥲💀 i do know that he recommended dale carnegie's "the theory of self management" but i couldn't find it on PB 🫠
i actually need to update this list (if i find the motivation and time), there are still so many book recommendations of idols i haven't added yet 💀
if you're taking suggestions, kevin from the boyz recommended tender is the flesh and it has been one of my favorite books since! :')
ofc!! thanks for letting me know! :) do you have a source by any chance? (i trust your word, i just like to double check for myself 🙂↕️)
i don't have a direct source since it was like 4 years ago, but here's a list someone else compiled: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/152379.THE_BOYZ_Reads
