I’m a big lover of books. Historical fiction and chick lit are my favourite genres but I will happily try different genres and have discovered a new love for YA and middle grade fantasy. Love reviewing books and taking part in the fun that is Booktube.. If you like my channel please subscribe and comment whenever you want to.. Here is my amazon wish list; www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1FBLFIAWSSNDS?ref_=wl_share My email address is; miamoo16@gmail.com
I read the miss peregrines trilogy a while back when they were first coming out and they were solid enough reads! The first book in the series was my favourite I think. This reminds me that I do need to try a thomas hardy book at some point. I'm currently watching season three of bridgerton and I really can't wait for Eloise's story in the series. Keedie sounds so good! I just need to read a kind spark first.
The longer I've been with Storygraph the more I love it. I especially love the TBR pile, which I use for books I own and others I know I will be definitely reading over the coming months, and then watch the numbers come back down! I have joined a few challenges. I won't be ditching GR because I love 'the countries I have read from' shelves and I like the stats for books I have read by publication date. I'm glad your Spoonies readathon was so successful! My favourite books of May were All Quiet on the Western Front, The Grapes of Wrath, A Tale of Two Cities, The Secret History of Las Vegas (crime) by Chris Abani, and Erasure by Percival Everett. Probably the best reading month this year, but June is also looking good!
Hello Emily, I enjoyed your vlog very much. The scenery is gorgeous near you. I just returned from Canada and walking 10,000 steps was very painful but made me proud. I use a cane. My left wrist and ankles hurt like heck so I will walk 5000 steps from now on and up and down the stairs. I love "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. From one spoonie to another I wish you health and Aloha.
👁👀 What wonderful reading to look forward to! Thanks Emily 🌻 I have a big winter pile of books to get through.. as it is winter here.. currently in Narnia with C.S. Lewis.. ❄ Wishing you happy reading! Have fun! 📚
I finished my Spoonies choice on the last day of the month. It was Metamorphosis: a Life in Pieces by Robert Douglas-Fairhurst. It is a memoir about finding out he has multiple sclerosis and his first few years living with it. He is a professor of English Literature and the book is also full of what he read over that time and how he used that to sustain himself. I'm very glad the readathon prompted me to read it.
As usual RU-vid won't let me select an emoji. Anyway, here is a spoon 'spoon'. Love your videos Emily. I am grateful than when I kneel in the garden to sort the borders and do some weeding I can still get up!
Sounds as if you had a bit of an up and down week - but hopefully things are improving and you'll soon be enjoying the summer (and holidays) to the full. A couple of house/mansions to follow as I stayed to the end - best wishes, Brian 🏡🏘🏠
Thanks again so much for the Spoonie Readathon! I read four books and I am still in the middle of four more. I found some real gems, only because I love searching for books to pair with a challenge prompt. I am not sure that I wouldn't have come across some of these books otherwise!
@@novellenovels Actually I think some of the ones I am still reading. My Body is not a Prayer Request by Amy Kenny, Some of Us Just Fall by Polly Atkin and We've Got This edited by Eliza Hull.
I'm grateful for the Spoonies Readathon and for you in May. What a great month (health aside lol)! I think I just forgot to send a gift note tbh 😂 Fingers crossed for the hysterectomy! 🤞🥄
I actually read quite a few celebrity memoirs but I do actually read quite a lot of memoirs by ordinary people who have been extraordinary circumstances. I don't tend to like selected letters books either. I have no interest in sporty memoirs as well. I really like continuing to learn as an adult as well, there is never anything wrong with continuing to learn.
Fingers crossed for the TBR selection turning out to be a good one! I'm sure you'll enjoy the Heidi Swain book - and hopefully, all of the other selections displayed in your video. I'm currently finding the 600 pages of Thackeray's 'Vanity Fair' a hard - but enjoyable - slog. I'm about half way through at the moment, so it will probably take me through to mid-June. I made it to the end of the video so here's an eye emoji or two - all the best, Brian 👁🗨👁
I really liked Everything is ok. Mental health is for sure a disability and uses spoons. Mental health impacts our physical health too, can cause severe fatigue, brain fog, etc. Your library is AMAZING!! I hope you enjoy The Invisible Kingdom. It’s really good.
I totally agree with you that mental health affects physical health especially for those of us with chronic pain. I’m so glad you enjoyed Invisible kingdom
It sounds like you borrowed future spoons for your kiddo's party. I know how depleted I feel when I have to do that. I also can't drink but don't miss it too much. 19:27 I read The Invisible Kingdom in August and absolutely loved it! I get angry when my library has awesome sales that are inundated with people who just buy boxes of books to resell. They cherry pick the best and take up lots of space. Urgh!
I like the way the 'either/or' set-up of the tag caused you problems in quite a lot of categories and you simply had to plead 'I'm a contradiction'. I think it just goes to show that you will judge any book that comes your way by the quality of its content and not simply by what category it (mostly) fits into - which has to be the best way for any of us to approach our reading. Some people emojis will follow to celebrate reaching the end of the video. Best wishes, Brian 🧕👨🦽👩👩👧👦👷♀
👀👀 I I am reading the Count of Monte Cristo and have given myself 6 months to read it. My copy is 1243 pages and 117 chapters. I am reading 2 - 3 chapters a day. I'll probably finish it much quicker, but I am not putting myself under pressure. I am currently on chapter 20, and it's so good.
3:43 I'm super impressed with how much you got done. I didn't care for Six of Crows because I felt 6 perspectives were too many. Speaking of UK Spoonie books, I received Some of Us Just Fall by Polly Atkin. It's nonfiction and she lives in the UK. I haven't read it but I'm very excited about it. I'm glad you enjoyed Sitting Pretty! I love that you have lots of support from family, furballs, and friends. 🌳
Sorry your mental health is crap right now. I hope both you and your mom can rally soon. What a lovely treat day! Swans/Geese are scary. Whoever came up with the phrase "silly goose" probably never met one. I've read 2 books for the Spoonie Readathon. Keedie (5 stars) and Disability Intimacy (5 stars) and the latter is my favorite of the year so far. 🌞
