So sorry to hear that July was a challenging month for you. I hope you are feeling much better now and will have an amazing month of August. I have burnt myself out with dragon books a little bit this summer, but Upscale looks so adorable! I really need reviews for the Spell Shop. It looks so cute! "It's floppy so I have no regrets" I feel that! xD Happy reading. :)
I bleached my own hair at home earlier this year so that I could make it pink (you can see this a bit in my Spy Family vlog. Did I have a mini life crisis & need to cover up my greys? Maybe haha). I bought blue tinted shampoo (just Google if you need blue or purple, I can't remember but I know blue looked like it would work better for me). But I found just shampooing my hair like normal didn't fully get rid of the orange, so I put in the blue shampoo & left it for over 30 minutes while I went & did other stuff, then washed it out.
That thunderstorm was so close. I was sitting here screaming for you to close the window! :D I am glad you still participated in Summerween, even though it wasn't the most convenient time. I hope your recovery goes smoothly. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
This is a video I have managed to get out (as video 2 of 5 for my anniversary!). I love this tag video as it's a great way to check in with yourself on how your reading is going & what you're still hoping to get to for the last half of the year.
Sorry you had to start off Summerween at the hospital. At least it was scheduled & not an emergency! And bonus: you got some great intro footage! I love your editing & all the music fits the vibe so well. You're an ice shop! You're not allowed summer vacation! How rude. I am constantly telling myself to focus & stop rambling on! A BIRD POOPED ON YOUR BOOK??!! 🤣😑😝🐦 It is so frustrating when you are in a situation where you could sit & read more (like recovering from surgery) but your brain/body is just not in it. I injured my back in February & my husband had a 4 day weekend where I sat in bed, barely able to move & I could barely stay awake to read or even watch anything. I slept through Booksandlala's sprints & any liveshows Gavin did. Yes we need to listen to our body's & obviously I needed the sleep (not just the rest of being in bed) but it was also so frustrating. It's gonna be forever before I get my Summerween edited :(
@@beckyduff Once I saw that basement I knew I had to get down there for some footage🤣 thanks for your kind words. And I know how it feels to be worried about content coming out too late. Why are we like this? 😅 I will def watch your vlog whenever you're done 💜
@@just_bea_weird my dad works at a hospital, I should recruit him to get a bunch of b-roll for me, lol!! Editing takes forever! And it is always longer than I expect it to take. I am still editing my Lalathon vlog from end of June lol.
I can't recommend the Founders Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett enough, it's great. Please give it a try one day. :D I have recently read two books with competitions/trials I enjoyed: the Familiar and How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying. I do love a good trial, too. :D Hope you are doing well!
I've actually had Foundryside on my TBR for years. Another one of those books that I think I'll love... so I'm not reading it. Make it make sense 😅 But good to know you rec it; if I love The Tainted Cup I have something to read waiting for the sequel 😊
@@just_bea_weird I didn't loooove the first book, but the series just kept getting better and better. :D But I know that 5-star-prediction-syndrome of putting them off.

What a fantastic selection Bea, got Bonesmith and Sing me to Sleep on my TBR also so will be eagerly awaiting your reviews. Sending you all the love and healing thoughts while you undergo your surgery ❤
Your Summerween lineup sounds so fun! I appreciate that you bring off the beaten path titles to our attention, it's so refreshing. 🌱 Wishing you a swift recovery and happy reading.
Mephiiiiii! Trully the cutest. I read the Drowing Empire series last year and did a whole reading vlog about it, and mainly what I remember is Mephi. xD I also don't love Gothic stories but I wanna try Starling House at some point. I have the author on my list to try this year. :) Happy reading in July!
I'm a pisces as well! But I chose to be in the swords group. I got 4 of swords for my first prompt and I'm so excited for July! I loved your picks too.... happy readathon to you!
stop everything! you're a Pisces........ me toooooooooo having said that... all the powe to you love... a huge hug to make you go through whatever you have to go through in july!!! you got THIS!!!! Let the era of fantasy commence.... and I really hope you like jade fire gold!!!
Thanks, the last bit of red is very persistant, but it's growing on me 🤣 So glad I was able to show my love for these books. 😀 I haven't heard a lot of people talking about them.
Get one! There are so many beautiful decks out there. But for every day life I also use a prism oracle deck. It just shows colors and emotions. Really beautiful as well. And thank you 🤗💜
I am so glad I am not the only person who can make a movie-length video about three books. :D Yay for democracy, and pink hair plans. I was so confused by that cover of running close to the wind, but it does make sense now. :D
So Let Them Burn sounds interesting! I haven't picked up Forth Wing yet, I'd be interested to know which you would recommend over the other? So many dragons, so little time. 😂
Uhhhh, that's a hard decision. i think it depends on what mood you're in. Fourth Wing focuses more on the Dragon Rider and Academy aspect. It's also more angsty with its romance and there is some spice in it. So let them Burn focuses more on the sister aspect/finding your place in the world. you get two romances for the price of one, but way more toned down and subtle and no spice. i would say fw is def fantasy romance whereas SLTB is more fantasy.
Oh man, you really like to challenge yourself 😂But it'll be fine, you will rock this TBR! Summer is a great time for reading (which is what I'm telling myself, looking at my own TBR ...). You got this! 🔥🔥🔥
Threads that bind has now been added to my enormous TBR 😂! If you're looking for another middle grade series I'd HIGHLY recommend the Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. Chris Riddell's illustrations in the books are *chefs kiss*. I Love your channel, can't wait for more reviews. ❤
Honestly, after a reading month like you had in March, I wouldn't read for multiple months after that. xD Hope you will get out of the slump in May. I hope you have a good time with Mephi, he is everything! :D Behind you I also spy Celeste Ng, one of my favorite authors. Highly recommend! Happy reading.
i loved the celeste ng book i've read, and the first chapter of LFE was a 10/10, so I will def read it in May. i've been meaning to read it for years but i usually don't gravitate towards lit fic
