Thank you so much for the audiobook topic. I am a working full-time mum of 2 young kids, with no help in keeping up the house and trying to squeeze in our crazy schedule my dancing classes. I hardly ever have 30 minutes of free time that I can spend on actual sitting down and reading. I am sooo grateful for audiobooks! I can still enjoy stories while doing chores and picking up kids from school and so on. I envy people who have the luxury of reading. I would love to do that. However, that is not possible and I don't consider myself lazy for going audiobooks. It's this or one to two books per year for me.
now im wondering about the people who genuinely enjoyed this book. who in their right mind looked at this, went to tiktok and recorded themselves recommending this piece of hot warm disgusting shit to everyone who may come across it, especially if theyre a woman ???? please get me out of this nightmare
Agree on the take that bad books were always published! Have people forgotten the 2010 craze after Hunger Games where we had so many bad dystopian novels? Or the fact that Twilight was super popular? We then had Hush Hush, Fallen etc... And even later when 50 shades of gray was the most sold book in the world. There have always been bad books that are popular, they just get forgotten
The whole hating on Colleen Hoover is mysogynistic is the same vibe as hating on Taylor Swift is mysogynistic. Like, of course there are some people who will hate her without knowing anything because it's something a lot of women like, but also, having an opinion and saying, hey I get that she's popular but she's just not my cup of tea is not mysogynistic, or "pick-me"
Yes I agree I found it so frustrating that violet was good at everything almost immediately even with her Disability which did play a small role but I felt there wasn’t enough struggle in her hero’s tale journey I feel like the ending would have had more impact if she didn’t have such an easy time as a first year, she literally had her shoulder dislocated and almost ripped out and she somehow just continued with training immediately and with ease. I like it when there’s a struggle or failure on the hero’s behalf because the victory at the end has a much bigger pay off. That’s not to say, I didn’t enjoy her character development or the story and like you say a book doesn’t have to be perfect for me to not enjoy it. I just wish our female hero’s weren’t so damn perfect at everything straight away
just a little curious about something. you asked people for unpopular opinions and then you responded to several with "why do you care what people do/read?" it's an unpopular opinion. are people not supposed to share their opinions on anything that doesn't affect them?
Lexi, please read cloud cuckoo land by anthony doerr. It has winter vibes, maybe by the time bunny has shredded your last brain cell you will once again be ready to have your heart ripped out (but in a good way).
Ooohh I'm so excited to hear what you think of HoL! I also read it for school and one girl in my tutorial got so invested it was like watching her descend deeper into madness every week
I recently found your channel and I have been absolutely BLOWING through it. I just really wanna know where you get your jewellery. I normally don't like jewellery but your style is just what I love and I can't find it anywhere.
OH MY GOD I HATED THIS BOOK <33333333 I don't understand why people hype this book, this whole series THIS much. Maybe because of its "aesthetics"?? idk but it sucked. Alex is literally "I am cold and mysterious, i see red when i am angry, you don't wanna see my dark side" ahh kid. He's the most MID character ever. People overhype the already below average characters.
been in a reading slump since i graduated middle school and my school stopped giving us dedicated reading time, i pulled myself out with rappiccini’s daughter and im depending on anna karenina to keep me above water.
If you’re in for wanting a spooky ass ghost book PLEASE read the Lockwood and co series they are beautiful. Young adult books but god they are so well done
“I just can’t take any kind of plot seriously after what they did with the anointing oil.” I laughed so hard my iced coffee came up my nose and I scared my dog. 😂
I used to be very strict with my opinions. "How dare you crack a book's spine or write in them?", "You have to finish every book", "People who write or read books with toxic relationships in them are problematic", etc. Now I just think - you do you and even changed the way I personally think about this for some of these (I DNF now, I listen to audibooks, etc.). Unless someone lends you a book, then you better treat it carefully unless explicitly told you can annotate or crack it. Accidents happen, but I cannot respect people who aren't careful with other people's possessions
It’s been months since I read Betty at your recommendation and I truly do not understand how more people aren’t talking about it. The story shook me to my core and broke my heart. ❤
As someone who was subjected to MANY self-help books when I was in treatment as a teenager, I 100% agree that Four Thousand Weeks is the only helpful self-help book I’ve ever read. It’s SO GOOD!
"Stiff" was the first Mary Roach book I read and I loved it . I have since read some of her others including "Gulp" and she has the ability to make a boring topic interesting.
Me at 29 about to go get Babel after this review because I also forget I have emotions and love books that absolutely shred my soul back into little human pieces.
"You were just one person inside a forest and there were others like you there all along and all of you were screaming together" Like damn, I'll have this written on my headstone if I could, that was so beautifully put and it really made my heart ache for all those people.
bully romance is fantastic if it recognised as bad, especially in japan that this is a huge problem, for some reason if the girl is the bully its a classic if the boy is the bully its toxic. anyways : onanie master kurosawa, flowers of evil, are often top 10 manga in many people's list, in my list as well, check them out
we need to tell the story through the main character, but at the same time we need someone very experienced on the topic, so memory loss, fuck that, nothing i hate more
deckled edges are how pages look when books are traditionally bound, they just get cut off to make it all flush. But for most modern paperbacks I don’t think they’re bound that way so I don’t get it?? it’s a very backwards way to get an artificially natural feel
I am OVERJOYED that you’re reading house of leaves. I fucking love that book because despite its horror and over all unsettling vibe, it’s a whole ass experience that has a theme and tones of perseverance and family hope amidst a darkness that threatens to overtake you (both figuratively and literally) The poetry at the end also slaps!!
Im there for the smut. Im waiting for them to go to pound town. Harley Laroux gets me. .. but i also read other stuff and im into the plot… also the plot is zade meadows… I know like what books are smut now and there are times that i want to read it. And other times i want to read frieda mcfadden
