Sounds like your TBR Tackle was very successful bar the Byatt Elizabeth. I’m the same with animal cruelty, can’t handle it so totally understand your decision. I’m hoping that when I reread Daniel Deronda I will like it more, if it just been about Gwendolyn I would have loved it 😉
The Byatt was a definite disappointment. But ah well. And that's how I felt about Daniel Deronda the first time too. And the introduction to my edition addresses that because apparently that came up when it was published as well. I'll be talking more about it in the full video.
I'm the same when it comes to animal cruelty in books and movies. I can read about the most horrible things being done to people, but animals!! No, thank you! I haven't been able to read Cujo yet, I know it isn't about animal cruelty, but the dog suffers so much, and I'm not sure if I can take it 😜 Good to know this about this novella.
I was surprisingly okay with Cujo. It's upsetting, of course, and I definitely cried. But maybe because it wasn't people being deliberately cruel to a defenseless animal, it wasn't quite as bad for me. Apt Pupil is definitely the worst I've come across in King's work. Although there's a scene in IT that I have to skip, and that's truly just unnecessary.
Looks like you had a great April! I’d never heard of The Biographer’s Tale, and the premise sounds like something I’d enjoy…or maybe not, based on your review 😅. I’m glad I came across your channel, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I thoroughly believe that people who are into poststructuralism might like The Biographer's Tale. I'm just not those people haha. I will say, Byatt's writing is always a delight even if I'm not enjoying the actual story!
I'm so glad you enjoyed discovery of witches! book 2 is my favourite for the historical aspects! Totally agree he is similar to Edward with the creep factor 😂The tv series is pretty good as well (but I havent watched S3 yet) 15:30 I feel its very important to have a few books on hand that are "not good" and totally bananas for mental health reasons 😂 Also I really like your top!
I'm so excited for the historical aspects! I definitely want to watch the show, but I'm not sure if I should read all the books first. And thank you! It's actually a dress! It's one of my favorites. Both cute and comfy. 😁
