The Pillars of the Earth has a TV show with Eddie Redmayne and Hayley Atwell! I watched it a couple of years ago and then read the books and really enjoyed them!
There's also a 'sort of" continuation of the series happening approx. 300 years later (with a TV series also). I have probably read all historical fiction by Follett and he is a master ;)
Many great other names are also in the series and they shot it in Hungary. :) Wouldn't recommend to watch before reading though. I have a friend who read the entire book on a pc... mad man, sadly, not with a blue box.
Hey Sasha, I'm from Germany and I love watching your videos! You never fail to inspire me and you have such a loving and caring personality. Also, you are beautiful, no matter what hair colour you are currently wearing ;) I love what you said about never forgetting our country's terrible past, because I think we can learn a lot from it and we cannot let terrible things like the Holocaust happen again. I am also kind of impressed, because the German book you showed us was completely new to me, I've never seen or heard of it before. Now, since you as an American are reading it, I feel like I have the duty to read it as well :D I hope to be able to meet you one day and I am very much looking forward to finally read Zenith completely :) Lots of love from Germany xx
I read The Pillars of the Earth quite a few years ago, and I remember that it's such a frustrating book, because it hooks you and keeps you invested in the characters, but at the same time, there are SOOOO, SO, SO many technical architectural aspects in the book. I bet that if we took out all the paragraphs dedicated to explaining how to build a certain thing, I think we would have around 3/4 of the book left. And also I remember that there were a lot of sex scenes that were incredibly awkward and gratuituous. But anyway, it's definitely a book that sticks with you.
Your content is so fab! ❤ Ironically, I just read 'the boy in the striped pyjamas' for school and I agree, it's SO important that we remember WW2 and the effects of it. Love your videos! 😊
just read the boy in the striped pajamas and omg its SOOOOOO GOOOOD. just prepare for tears. and i also read milkweed witch also takes place in WW2. great video love yah
"The Book Jumper" is already released in Poland, I actually really liked this book, the idea of jumping between books was really fun to read about. I recommend that and I hope you'll like it too 😊
by wednesday I will be finished with exams and I can start reading again I've been feeling so empty since the semester started because as someone who reads two to three books a week, I have only read two books since the summer and I just cant wait any longer. Watching yours and Christine's videos always make me so happy
pillars of the earth..i read it in three days. i resented everything i had to do in life that was not reading that book for those three days. it's engrossing and just a completely epic masterpiece!
I already read Dark Matter this month, IT'S ALREADY ONE OF MY FAV'S OF 2017,i couldn't predict almost nothing that was going to happen, im super happy bc they'r making a movie about the book
There's actually a TV show "the Pillars of the Earth". I don't know whether it was based off of the book, but the premise is very similar that makes me think i t was. Really enjoyed the show and the actors and characters were amazing!
Pillars of the earth is really good! It's sequel World without end is great to. They were both made into a tv series as well that is definitely worth a watch.
Pillars of the earth has been made into a fantastic film series (starring Eddie Redmayne and a bunch of other great actors); it's great to watch when you get stuck with the book!!
Oooo...book jumping! Reminds me of a book I read called The Eyre Affair. In the book someone is murdering book characters and they try to kill Jane Eyre!
You said that you gave your dad "The Name of the Wind" as a present. I just read all Books by Patrick Rothfuss last week and they are so well written. Did you do a review for "The Name of the Wind" or "The Wise Man's Fear"? If not, could you do one? Greetings from Germany :)
Every time I watch one of your videos, I end up adding them to my TBR, I've got a job now and luckily I'm 16 with no responsibility so half my pay check goes to my savings account and the rest towards booooksssss
yessss book haul😍 I love your videos as I always end up loving the ones you talk about! Thanks to you I got into Red Queen/Glass sword and they were the best books I read in 2016😍
I just finished a book that made me think the entire time 'omg Sasha would love this' its a science fiction retelling of Moby Dick.All the characters are badass and its got a lot of adventure elements to it.It's called The Beast of Cretacea
"The pillars of the earth" is sooooo good ! The 2nd one isn't... so I was disappointed. The tv serie is really nice too & the stories are really similar.
The pillars of the earth by Ken Follet is my favorite book of all time, you should definitely read it soon!!! It's soo good and I'm sure you would like it.
Pillars of the Earth, giiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrl amazing! Good choice, dad!! Mystery, Betrayal, Scandal, Murder, Love... Read it! Then see the mini series!
Ken Folletts books are great and if you like Historical Fiction you should check out his Century Trilogy. The first book is called Fall of Giants and is set during World War 1. The books follow families from the different countries though the generations and span pretty much the whole century. I really loved reading them.
I just finished reading Dark Matter! It's amazing, a really fast read and what a plot twist! Although I expected more out of it, at the end I'm very satisfied with this book :).
SAME! I started watching The X-Files late last year and really enjoyed it. SO, I had to buy the two new books when they came out! Went to the local bookstore specifically to buy them. I just added The Book Jumper to my tbr list. You totally sold me on it. Sounds awesome. #currentlyreading Frankenstein. Never read it before. We only ever read Shakespeare in school. I think I've read Hamlet six times? Made me not want to read anymore classics ever. I'm trying to change that now though. Starting with Frankenstein!
you should read the summoner series! 1st book = the novice its so good! its kind of a mix of harry potter and Pokemon... these summoners have the ability to get these creatures from a different plane called the ether. they also have spells via runes...its really good!
