That's such a cute idea to have him pick your books! I tried that once and he picked books I had no desire to read lol. You should absolutely read some SJM, especially A Court of Thrones and Roses. I will never stop loving that series.

Elizabeth K ahah I sometimes don't want to read the book but end up loving it. Or I think I'm going to have to read it anyway. If I really don't want to I can just throw it. I own the books so will hopefully soon!!

No free books, but heavily discounted books!! Wouldn't that be nice though?

Cait ReadsBooks thanks!!!

It's so beautiful. All the House editions are, i'm so close to getting the other three. Ugh I bought A Room of One's Own almost two years ago. I need to read it or get rid of it so it stops taunting me!

I can totally relate.

Hi Joseph, thanks for watching my video! I can't believe it's still getting comments 4 years later. I actually just graduated law school and start at a firm next week! So I'm a little further away from my english degree than I originally planned but I think it's going pretty well. =)

I've been eying house of hades all week. I think I'm going to read it next. Hopefully it's better than the third one. 😃

I still have no idea if I was even close to saying her name right!

That's how I felt about mine before this. I hate having books stacked but I had to to save room. I don't know what I'm going to do when I start working through my tbr!

I understand the struggle.. I just picked up Shatter Me for the third time because I couldn't get into any of the books I haven't read yet. I really want to see Water for Elephants but I have to read the book first and ughh! #booktubeproblems

hahaha for real though :p

Here is a link to the Goodreads list of The Tudor Court series. www.goodreads.com/series/55425-the-tudor-court

Kimberly Oaks thanks! I didn't know it was part of a series. Also, after looking at that list I didn't know that I've read a book by her before, The Other Boleyn girl! But I think you're right about not having to read them in order, especially if you already know the history pretty well.

I saw through the ever night on bookoutlet and bought it on cyber monday! I'm actually pretty excited about it now, I haven't heard anything. The Bronze horseman takes a few chapters (50-60) pages to really get going, so don't give up on it once you start!

College is about exploring what YOU want to do with your life. Most schools make you take general education credits so you'll have to take some math and science courses, maybe that will appease your parents. But your education and experience at college isn't about them, it's about you. Congratulations on standing up for what you want and good luck!

I just started college about a month ago and since junior year in high school I was 100% sure I wanted to be a nurse but nope thats not me. On the other hand I hated english in high school it was that one class that I barely passed every year and now in college its my fave. It's a 4 hour class but it feels like 2 hours max because I enjoy it that much.... so dont worry about your parents college is about you and finding yourself I'm sure your parents wouldnt want you to be unhappy with your major/job

pipsqueak110 Thank you so much for the reassurance! <3

That is literally my lifestory...

sandraisbooked wow. WOW. This is like 100% me.

No, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I thought maybe going to grad school or working in the publishing world. I actually just started law school, so obviously that changed. What do you want to do with it? I'm always intrigued with what others do with their English degrees because the answers are always so varying!

Elizabeth K Sorry...I got that mixed up. I been thinking of continuing my English major, but have a concentration in literature or creative writing. Which one do you think would help the most for a prospective job to copy editing? I been thinking of being a copy editor for a while...

laprechaun12 I honestly couldn't tell you for certain which one would be "better." Personally, I think both could help in different ways. I never wanted to be a copy editor so I really don't know much about it. I would talk to a professor or even try to get into contact with someone who already is a copy editor (or higher) and see what they did to get where they are.

You'll want to be good with programs like incopy and indesign, literature will help immensely with developmental editing, for the other two types of editing, line editing, and copy editing good grammar and understanding syntax and diction will only help you. I'm a lit major myself we literally direct the books themes what motivate the character why the did that, plot holes, all sorts of stuff that really helps you break down the book and analyze it. I don't exactly know what creative writing does for you. Also there are you tubers whom are editors so I'd ask them

I think a lot of people have that kind of problem when they first start trying to find ideas for essay but I really don't think that should stop you from studying the subject. Most of the time, at least for me, in lower level course the professor are very explicit in their explanations of what they want for an essay. Also, if your essays are research papers, you don't necessarily need an original idea, just a new take on an old one because you need to have sources that say what you're trying to say to back you up. And, a lot of the time if you need to write about a novel, you'll be able to get ideas during class discussions. If any of that doesn't work, English profs are usually very easy to talk to. More than once when I was having issues with a paper I'd bring a draft to the prof's office hours and they are more than happy to help you. I hope that helped!

Thank you so much for such a thorough answer! I really appreciate it. :)

thank you so much! :)

I love real books, but I am poor so the E-reader was a very very great present from my parents! the Nook is a good choice. I'll check out your update too, thanks!

I AM ACTUALLY DYING DUE TO READING TOO MUCH. I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS A THING THAT HAPPENED.

I think everyone is having a similar issue. I haven't uploaded any new videos.

Don't get down on yourself! Reading a book in one day is awesome!! The books I read were both YA and super easy, but it looks like you read a more complex book, so that's great! Good look with the rest of the week. =)

Awesome! hopefully we both (all) get to it during the week. =)

Definitely random! There seems to be a small group of us that picked it.

RIGHT OMG!!

I can't even with Ignite me, I read it in on sitting and wanted to start it again immediately after finishing it! Also thank you!
