What I've Been Reading | February 

Watching your book videos always inspires me to go out and pick up a book and spend all day reading, away from the real world. I set a goal of 16 books this year (considering I have the leaving cert to study for) and I can't wait to go out and read all your recommendations. I hope you're having a a lovely time on tour and thank you for being lovely in Dublin in December

I love that lippie on you! Also, v interested in Idaho, added it to my tbr on goodreads!

The cover of Idaho alone makes me want to pick it, so beautiful!

i've been delaying reading Idaho for quite a bit and this got me to finally plan to buy it today!

I loved the Serpent King, so I'm really looking forward to Goodbye Days when it finally comes out.

I absolutely adored this video Candice❤️ Thank you for all the new book recommendations ✨

**scrambles to get Idaho** I haven't finished On Writing, but a whiiiiiiile ago when I read it I remember being totally shocked at the whole car accident part of his bio! 😱 I just finished reading Murakami's memoir/writing book and really enjoyed it. I think you're right, there's no use in reading about writing as a writer if you never IMPLEMENT the tools, but I must say writing books are becoming a new favourite genre of mine, haha!

Thank you for these! I've been looking for some good books these days 😊

I could listen to her for hours.

everytime i finish a book it takes me about a month to start reading another one, this was a reminder to start so thanks!

Your book reviews always remind me of the importance of reading... i used to be a voracious reader but in past years i've sunk deep into the internet and i have been literarily neglectful -_-

Hi candice!! Hope you're well and enjoying bry's tour! I love your lipstick in this video :) xx

I just recently read "The Way of Letting Go" by Wilma Derksen. Similar to how you described Stephen King's book, it is half her story and half what she has learnt (tips, one might say). It is quite sad how she lost her daughter and it was quite interesting to read such a perspective, since I've never been through something like that. The cover art is gorgeous as well. I will have to pick Idaho up sometime, it sounds interesting.

I don't know why but I absolutely love your voice, it's just so satisfying. And I loved the video, too :)

Seems like there's going to be a new book in my tbr list :D

Thanks for sharing.

YAY!! I love these videos!! I've missed you!! also, I'll maybe see you at summer in the city!!

I've been slow at tagging recently too, it bothered me a lot so I'm starting bookclub to try and get myself reading at least two books a month- and hopefully discussing and facilitating discussions about them will enhance the reading experience :)

I know you're a fan of quite dark YA novels so if you're looking for anything to read then I recommend the Half Bad trilogy by Sally Green. It is classified as fantasy and bases around witches who live among us in 21st century England but it also looks at some real life issues which I thought were addressed really nicely. I just finished all 3 in a week because they were hard to put down 😂😊

I believe in that book by Stephen King you mentioned in the video he talks about writing for about 0,5h everyday even if you don't feel like. That really helped me with writing my frist novel, I'd been writing it for 2 years but the majority of it was written in the three months of time just because I made myself to write for at least 0,5h a day. Sometimes it was it, sometimes it pushed me to 4-5-6h session of writing, you never know:)

Hi can-Deece hi meet you in Cardiff I was the blonde boy young with the fringe thanks byr

lovely lovely video as always

Looks like I have to go out and get Idaho

You might like "Everything I Never Told You" by Celeste Ng. I loved it :)

Then I know before I visit to Idaho, I have to read.

Have you read all the bright places by jennifer niven? Its an amazing book and so beautiful

Have you read anything by Patrick Rothfuss?

Did 'On Writing' change the way you view writing? Or how you write? Was it like, influential at all?

Would you recommend On Writing to people who don't read other Stephen King books?

100 pages? Fast reader or long journey?!

I look forward to the day when you appreciate GOOD writing rather than cleverness in writing. When you do you will realise it's as rare as rocking horse droppings. 99.9% of books are future toilet paper, that's all.
