Welcome to the dumping ground corner of the interwebs. Here you'll find mainly bookish content as well as the odd bit of lifestyle/vlog and gaming content sprinkled in here and there!
@@Wolfhailstorm Really enjoying it, on episode 5 ATM. Loving the tone of this season ,Vecna is creepy but awesome. Season 5 the Final season ahould be good. Have you watched it?
I'm going through your playlists and you've put me on to quite a few UK companies I want to order from. From books to beauty products. I totally forgot you were British. So many of my Booktube subscriptions default to the USA. Thank you so much.
THank you for reveiwing all of our stories! That's a lot of work :) And I appreciate how mine gave you a physcial reaction, it's what we all strive to do.
Can't attest to now, but when I got it the website was fine and the pc lasted me 10 years without any alterations. The products where also brand new, yes, but I am unsure if it's more of a wholesale and so would be 3rd party. There may be an option for second hand goods, but I hadn't explored that.
I just looked at the list of Body Shops closing and mine is on there..tbh I can probably only afford it 50% off anyway 😂 I might check if its still open and has anything nice in. The high street is pretty miserable these days isn't it. Its sad 😢
@Wolfhailstorm My birthday is 4 days after Christmas and I used to combine my Christmas/birthday money and spend all day at the sales. Now there's barely any shops 😫
CrawlSpace, The Snow and Part of The Story That Started Before Me have been added to my overgrowing TBR. Enjoyed the wrap up, thanks for the new finds.
Congrats on becoming a new home owner. Loving the new setup. I enjoy all your videos unboxing, reviews etc. Cool to hear your enjoying horror more, it being one of my favorite genre. (I see Stephen King back there) what's your favorite book or books you've read by him so far? Thanks for the mention
Jacques! Hey 😊 thank you so much! So happy you enjoy a variety of my videos. I'm actually just really getting into King, these are books I've yet to read so am definitely open to suggestions! I've read his Gwendy's Button Box books with Richard Chizmar and enjoyed them and also another really short book that wasn't horror, about a man that started to float! So have eased myself in with some of his lighter reads so far!
Ahh thank you for the shout out lovely lady ❤ I'm so glad we got to meet through booktube 🥰 Looking forward to your bookshelf organization video. I find those videos so satisfying to watch haha! Huge congrats on becoming home owners as well 🥳
I found your channel through Amy's sprints and loved your vibe and bubbly personality! I really hope to see you on there again or if you gain the confidence to maybe do your own sprints one day. Congrats on the new house, loving the shelves 😊
Hey Caroline, that is such a lovely message, thank you! 😄 Fingers crossed on the live streams and thank you for the congrats ✨ looking forward to sharing the progress 😊
@@WolfhailstormI enjoyed it but the ending made me appreciate it a whole lot more. I’m looking forward to the sequel but I’m going to read a few other books first like yourself. The only thing that I didn’t understand was who the girl was in the epilogue. Did I miss something there or are we not supposed to know?
Did you too after reading the original Trollhunters book thought Jim would be likely a villain - serial killer in Criminal Minds than a popular hero of an animated series?
I must admit, although your comments are greatly appreciated, you're asking me details and thoughts about a show I reviewed a good few years ago and I feel awful but I can't answer in the detail that your time and questions deserve! I'm sorry! You may find more in depth replies on newer reviews of the TV show on other channels, as a lot of the minor details and thoughts have become hazy for me over the years! I hope you understand ✨️😊
@@Wolfhailstorm I mean, like 98% of fandom lives in illussion that Jim is actually a hero (even though Jim is in the show as psychopathic as in the book), when he has literally in the original book more in common with Joker, Patrick Bateman, Dexter Morgan or Tyler Durden, I've spend a lot of time analyzing both book and show (and has theory Jim was actually a drugged human trafficking victim who went insane). Some Jim's statements in the book: "I’d worried about the mental stability of my father. It was why Mom had left us, why we lived alone in a homemade prison. What if, printed in my genetic code, was a similar insanity? Tub might abandon me, too." "I held the baby to my chest, relieved not only to have saved her but also thrilled to have killed a troll. Jack had been right-I did love it." "The chest cavity’s organs, half human and half troll, clung to each other like blind kittens fresh from their amniotic sacs. Only the changeling baby’s top jaw had been completed, and it gummed helplessly upon the air. The eyes, though, were pure troll-blinkless black orbs glowering at me in condemnation. The half-formed human skull exposed the troll brain hiding beneath, a glossy green thing nippled with twitching nodules. I was crying when I killed it. It was an abomination; the job had to be done. But the changeling had already mastered a baby’s voice, and it sobbed as I hacked it into smaller and smaller pieces while holding the real baby in my other arm." "For a second I lingered, watching the bloody wad of snot dissolve into someone else’s piss. It said a lot about our lives, I thought." "For a head we appropriated a bowl that had last seen use five years before, during my unintentional slaying of five innocent goldfish. After Tub got done threatening, again, to report me to a local animal rights organization" "We waited for Dad to go to bed. Tub killed time browsing for naked celebrities on my laptop while I studied RoJu"
@@whiskeylover148 I can see from your comments this is a big interest for you - I reckon you could get a lot more traction and interaction through reddit or twitter where the fandom communities thrive as I'm not in it. :)
Can I just point out Trollhunters original book paralels with the Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy? 1. Unsolved disappearances affecting family members with a similar coincidence in time - 1966 for Harriet in Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, 1969 for Jack in Trollhunters - James Sturges Sr. is further obssessed with kidnapping of his older brother just like Henrik Vanger is obssessed with Harriet's dissepearence Both books share a description of the family's one summer day before the disappearance took place and subsequent descriptions of how rescuers, police officers or volunteers searched in vain either for Harriet in Millenium or Jack and the other missing kids in Trollhunters Just like with Harriet, it turns out Jack in the reality is still alive. 2. Anti-social main character with psychopathic family taking revenge on people who hurt him "investigating the case" Jim, like Lisbeth, is an antisocial individual who has "basically" learned the truth about that unfinished couple of decades, not to mention that his father and (missing) uncle thrive on killing as much as he does and who with his friends took revenge (killed) Steve who bullied him after he turned out to be a changeling 3. Working with electronics Jim's father works with electronics in the book, those teenagers know it's an advantage and can also work with camera systems. He could be compared to the Plague from the Millenium trilogy at this point as well. 4. Corruption In Trollhunters it is mentioned that police was unable to find the missing kids and as well it is mentioned that rich people and politicians are changelings who are harming people. Sorry just but Trollhunters book has literally more in common with the Millenium trilogy than freaking Hellboy
I don't remember saying anything about Hellboy? Also, I hadn't read the Millenium trilogy when I filmed this years ago. I tried it around this year and dnf'd it.
@@WolfhailstormMost of Trollhunters fans is comparing Trollhunters to Hellboy, but the original Trollhunters book shares similarities with Swedish crime trilogy Millenium by Stieg Larsson, which is about abuse, corruption, journalism, finances and hackers. Idk to get in the picture with the similarities of the Trollhunters book with Millenium, you can watch Girl With a Dragon Tattoo movie from 2011 directed by David Fincher
@@whiskeylover148 I mean, you gotta bear in mind this video is a few years ago, so the comment was very confusing and unexpected (interesting though I couldn't relate to the comparison as I didnt finish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). I might try the movie but the first book of the Millennium did not interest me, unfortunately.
Just finished this book last week! I loved it! Wasn’t too big of a fan of the ending. Still a great read. I’m now finally starting To Sleep in A Sea of Stars!
Ayyy, glad you enjoyed it overall! I hope you love TSIASOS! I read it this time a few years ago! It's a chunker but it's worth it. If you're into audiobooks, I hear this one is delivered exceptionally!
I just bought this collection, look forward to reading it. 🖤 Everything that’s Emily the Strange is always nostalgic and full of Rob Reger’s amazing art. 🖤
@@Wolfhailstorm I’ll now be on the hunt for more Emily The Strange merchandise apart from the books. That’s how much this collection reawoke my appreciation for her. 😄🖤
Ooh, I haven't heard of Evernight before. I've been looking for a horror-based UK subscription company so I just joined the waiting list. Thanks so much for the upload. 😊
I just got this book from my library! Cannot wait to get into it! Ive read 2 of her other books, "The Ogress & the Orphans" & "The Girl who drank the moon".. I loved them both. I really hope i like this one as well!!
Youll have to show us your bullet journal. In always looking for layout inspo. I was desperate to start one this year but gave up halfway through march - theyre gorgeous but sooooo much effort
Haha I'll do a flip through at some point! I totally get what you mean. I do enjoy doing them but I struggle to keep up and be consistent with a theme for the month haha
