Was just watching old videos. And now I want to make a game with a guess who game. 😂 The traditional came with cards of all the faces, so I want to draw a card or two each month, and find a book with a character that has that name. 😂

As a Texan, glad to see you have lots of TX books, wish the US wasn't so dominant. I get why, if ever you need Earthbound suggestions please reach out with your preferred genre. Otherwise, excited to see how you progress.

I think 4 stars is by far my most common rating as well. For me 3-3.5 is fine. 4 is good. 4.5 is really good. 5 is amazing. It's like a bell curve for grades but skewed to the higher numbers because I never have a 1 star (I'd have DNFd a book like that) and almost never have a 2 star (quite likely I'd have DNFd those as well but maybe needed to finish for book club or something). Tell your son that you're just good at picking good books 😜

Now that I think about it, you're absolutely right about translated books, they usually are historical and literary. I don't know if Scandinavian mystery thrillers are popular in the US, but you could try Jo Nesbo for Norway. There's also Yrsa Sigurðardóttir who writes psychological thrillers set in Iceland if I remember well (they're quite brutal, so maybe check trigger warnings though)

You need some books set in Canada. 😂 I highly recommend Carley Fortune or Hannah Bohnam-Young for romances set in Canada.

I also have to laugh that you literally did squash that series and started 14 more in the same month. 😂

I keep telling myself I won't join anymoee readathons as I have my own goals I need to read. 😂 I always lie to myself about these things. So I understand when you say you're going to slow down on the reading too. LOL Oh but you read the chestnuts springs, was that beforebyou started the maps?

how great its words are!😀😀😀😀😀😀

Happy anniversary to your parents! 🎊 🎉

Ooh, I loved Wildful!

Happy Aniversary parents! 😂🎉

Happy anniversary Congratulations on 55 years

Also thw irony that you said you don't want Howl's Moving Castle ans Lousiana Longshot and all the short ones this week, and literally get those two. 😂

And Happy Anniversary to your parents. My anniversary is the 9th of September, it's a great time of year to get married.

I still need to read Funny Story. I have read all her other popular novels.

I'm currently eating supper while watching this video. I made a taco and am having a garden salad with it.

My library Libby has Mr. Fixer-Upper by Lucy Score. ONLY in GERMAN!

This was really fun! You smashed it. I was waiting for Finish a Series to come up 😅 it was so lucky you just had that novella to read!

Great video! You should keep track of how many other series you finish along side your 50 b4 50 ones 😊 glad you made it through all 8 wheels!

Hello Eating sourdough pretzels and Pepsi 0. 😎😎

I was looking for an audiobook on Hoopla yesterday and it was only available in German as well. As much as I'd love to speak German, that's not in my skill set right now lol.

Oh been meaning to say I really like how you do uour videos, where you show your screen and are in the corner, I don't think I am talented enough to figure out how to do that but its cool! 😃

I am in. :) Since team 3 is called Buddy Readers, you should pick a monthly book we can all read along with like once a month at some point. Like a book club type pick. Just a suggestion. :)

I have A Witch's Guide to fake dating on a pile of possibilities for Fablen, as I am on the Golden Rune team.

I mostly do standalones, but want to find more interesting series. Currently making it through Bromance Bookclub. My husband says I should start Dungeon Crawler Carl, as he has read 4 books in the last 5 days. 😂

That globe thing on the cover is a crystal ball

I love that you're going to read more manga 😍 would love a vlog/reviews!

I love Witch Hat Atelier! Hope you enjoy it.

Out of the Stack I have read 4. The bottom 2 100% 10/10 6 Star Books. As well as Fullmetal Alchemist (1-3).I am collecting the hardcover special additions as it's my favorite Manga of all time (I've rewatched it at least 5 times but have never read)and One Piece (read up to 9 70% done with Alabasta arc in my watch)

How to become the dark lord was so good. I liked the audiobook too if your Libby has it .

I'm here for the dogs. 😃 Book haul is bonus lol.

You can use a hairdryer to get the stickers off.

That's a nice pile of books!

That book box had some interesting looking books! Looks like a great stack. Love a book shopping spree 📚🛍️

📚👻🍂

That Secret Santa book looks fun!

Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy was a great book. I highly recommend it.

I was convinced to join this one too. 😂 Waiting to see what team I am sorted on. LOL

Isn’t most of Joe Abercrombie’s writing grimdark fantasy?

Amanda! I’m slapping you on your hand 😜

📚

how do you play the board?

This looks fun! Is there an announcement video on YT for this? Or where can I find more info? You're really shooting for the stars with your reads next month!

That looks like fun. I need to check my TBR and see if any fit 8 or 9 prompts. If they do I might join you.

Funny thing about V.C. Andrews, she was an older woman named Virginia, and she wrote a few books, then she passed away in 1986 and they hired a ghost writer to complete two works for her and they just continued writing under her name. At least some or most were actually written by a man as well (Andrew Neiderman). 😂

📚📚

Love your vlogs!!! I watched it yesterday at work and I came back today to leave my handy comment lol!
