I had so much fun with my February reading journal set up🤗 I can’t wait to share these spreads while we talk all about the books I read last month! I found a NEW favorite fantasy series and then proceeded to read only fantasy for the rest of the month, so of course I wanted to bring those vibes to life with these journal spreads. I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of these books, and as always I appreciate any of your book recommendations! Thanks so much for watching❤️

Ahh, I've been so occupied the last few months, and now I get to sit down and catch up on your videos. 😊 My reading comes in waves too, both with how much I read and the preferred genre. I love fantasy!

@anabruns 3 месяца назад

Ooh yay!!! Hope you like the most recent vids☺️ yeah I’m honestly still riding the romantasy wave… I’ve binged Caraval, The Cruel Prince, and most recently ACOTAR this summer! Just now catching up all on these popular series that everyone talks about haha. But I’m about to start Mistborn which I’m beyond excited for! What fantasy books do you like to read?!

@haliedarby 7 месяцев назад

The Winternight Trilogy were my first five star reads this year back in January 🩵 I was just so enchanted with Katherine Arden’s writing! I definitely picked up her new release right away and can’t wait to start it. 😊

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Her writing is sooo good, enchanting is the perfect word!! I just learned about the premise of her new release and it’s sounds so intriguing so I’m adding it to my TBR as well!🥰

@bujobyfilo 7 месяцев назад

As a christian, I love the winternight trilogy bc Vasya sees the folklore and respects religion, and her brother is a monk and respects folklore. They're family, they love and respect each other and like a family, one spiritual belief doesn't exclude or disdain the other. In the 2nd book they fight together for the same cause, for their people, and for the good. So I think it's compatible with any belief the reader might have, which is unique, as much as her beautiful writing! Your tbr is awesome, we definitely have a very similar taste! Dante's inferno is waiting on my shelves and War and peace was a soft dnf for me, I was expecting something more similar to Anna Karenina, but it's not, so I'll try again later. Enjoy your reading!

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Yes I very much appreciated how Kathryn Arden wrote about multiple beliefs with much respect to all! Love hearing your thoughts on that! It does seem like we have a very similar reading taste☺️☺️ I haven’t read any of Tolstoy but in recent years I’ve really started to enjoy classics (much more than when I was reading them in school haha), so I have positive expectations for it and hopefully won’t be disappointed! What language/translation will you be reading Dante in? I didn’t realize before I went to buy a copy how many translations there were (just to English, Im sure there’s so many more to other languages) and what a big difference the translation makes!

Thank you so much Charlotte!! glad you’re here☺️ I’ve been so happy to find others who enjoy a similar aesthetic to me.

@anabruns 6 месяцев назад

Aw thank you🥰 haha and I love that your cats are involved in your journaling as well!! Coco’s favorite trick is walking over and sitting on top of my journal right as I’m picking up my pen😂 but it’s just adorable so I can’t be upset!

That gold gilded washi tape is d i v i n e ✨ i also love how you use a glass dip pen for writing. I should try that! Currently reading Divine Rivals. I find it alright 🙈 probably not gonna read the next book 🙈

@anabruns 6 месяцев назад

Right?! I love that tape🌸✨yes I found divine rivals decidedly mediocre, I’m so relieved to find some other people with similar opinions haha. And yes omg I highly recommend skipping the second book, I wish I hadn’t read it!!

@sarahlucas1999 7 месяцев назад

I really love your journal setups. Rebecca Ross also has another duology starting with A River Enchanted which I enjoyed a lot more than Divine Rivals. Its set in an ancient Scottish inspired fantasy world. I'll have to read the Dance of Thieves duology, I really enjoyed her other series. Happy reading for the rest of March 😊

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Oooh an ancient Scottish inspired fantasy world is probably one of the few things you could have said to convince me to give Rebecca Ross a second try!! That premise sounds amazing. Yes definitely read dance of thieves and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! So you’ve read more by that author? I might need to look into her other works then! Happy reading to you too🥰

@sarahlucas1999 7 месяцев назад

@@anabruns Yes, her other series starts with The Kiss of Deception and is part of the same world that Dance of Thieves is set in 🙂

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh ok adding that to my TBR right now!! I need more of that world haha thank you :)

@bekahheintz 7 месяцев назад

I loved Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves! They were such good books and they do not get enough hype. I've also read Divine Rivals (haven't gotten to Ruthless Vows yet) and it also fell super short for me. I felt like with a few tweaks, it would have been a great historical fiction romance set in WWI instead of a fantasy. The fantasy part was kind of unnecessary to me. I haven't read the Heather Morris book you DNF'd, but I have read the Tatooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey and I loved them both. Very sobering stories, but also worth reading, in my opinion!

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Yes!! So happy to find someone else that feels the same way on these duologies. Dance of Thieves needs more praise! I totally agree that Divine Rivals felt more like a WW1 historical fiction than fantasy, and even though I typically love WW stories that’s not what I’m looking for when I pick up a fantasy.. just a case of mismatched expectations. I actually got both Sisters Under the Rising Sun and Tatooist of Auschwitz for Christmas so I’m still going to try that one! I remember you recommended it to me and I’ve heard good things about it so maybe the Sisters book was just an odd case for the author🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m currently reading Homo Deus. It’s so interesting but I feel you when you say: As a Christian. With The winter witch it wasn’t that apparent for me, but in the book I’m reading now….

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Oh interesting! But im glad you can relate to the sentiment :) I haven’t heard of Homo Deus, what’s that one about?

@maartjedegroot9598 7 месяцев назад

@@anabrunsit’s non fiction. About how the human race wants to become God and how that effects all. He’s using history to explain our future and to make us rethink how we use our sources.

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Oh that sounds very interesting... I could understand how a topic like that would garner a lot of different opinions and views. But the works that make us think more intentionally about our own values are often so enlightening even if we come away disagreeing with the author!

Hi 😊 i can't find the floral vintage washi tape from amazon?

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Omg thank you for saying this, I didn't realize I had the wrong link! I just updated the description and here's the link to that set: amzn.to/3Vocg0M. Thanks for pointing this out😊 Looks like they changed up the tapes in the set but the peony tape in still there! And I actually like the new tapes they traded in better! I might have to rebuy it myself to get those😅

How to resize the covers on Google docs please ? Thank you

@anabruns 6 месяцев назад

Yeah you paste in your image and then select “image options” from the top bar. Select “resize” and you can type in the size you want! If you type in the height, google docs will automatically adjust the width to keep the same image proportion and vise versa. If you want to see a clip of me resizing book covers, I show it in my 2024 journal set up! Hope that helps :)

@annettefertitta6868 7 месяцев назад

It’s because you read two books that blew you away before the others that’s happened to me before

@anabruns 7 месяцев назад

Yes I definitely think dance of thieves colored my opinion of divine rivals especially since they were the exact same genre - I couldn’t help but compare!
