Yay, surprise vlog! I love A Christmas Carol, I can't wait to reread it on the 26th. Ok, I will need to hear your thoughts on Pallbearer's Club because Horror Movie did not work for me, but if you love it, I will give this author another try. I had Kiss Her Once For Me reserved from the library but I don't think I need to try it now. :D I just had a different Christmas novel that was not cosy and escapist at all, even though it is marketed as that. Will rant about that in my next vlog tomorrow. :D

I can totally see why you read it every year. I think I need to do another vampire only reading vlog cause I've accumulated a lot of them recently and yeah this will be my first Paul Trembley so well see if hes for me or not. I might still pick up Love You a Latke cause you really liked that one .... but I may or may not have gotten kindle unlimited recently to help with my reading goals for next year and gotten sucked into a trashy romance series (because why would I read Rhythm of War when I could rot my brain). Can't wait for your video tomorrow :D

It's so funny to me, that we read Bookshops and Bonedust at pretty much the same time. :D My opinion is basically everything you said, especially about the writing of the romance. It was such a minor part of both of these books, and I think that's a good thing, because it could not have carried the book. But it was a really nice break, and I did cry a bit at the end. As someone who is moving a lot, and always losing and gaining friendships and relationships because of that, it felt nice to see that represented a little bit. :) So glad you are back to booktube, I missed you! (Even though you really weren't gone that long. xD)
@fitforgaming9236Ай бұрын
Us? agreeing on a fantasy book? Honestly I'm so happy we align so well on books (we won't talk about THAT one) its so validating to know I'm not the only one that feels a certain way plus its nice to know if you say I'll like a book that I prob will. IMO mourning a lost friendship is so difficult and I feel like no one really talks about how hard it can be missing someone who isn't family or a romantic partner even though most friendships are temporary. I mean friendship breakups are hard when something happens but its also hard when you just drift away due to the nature of life. I also cried a bit at the end <3

The foreshadowing is another reason it reminded me of a greek tragedy, it really is objectively a fantastic book and the craft is outstanding I just wish I felt more or a personal attachment. I wanna be a Leigh Bardugo girl so bad TT I keep hoping the next one will be the one.

I took an elective in college that was Arthurian literature I'm def not like an expert or anything but the disney version of the sword in the stone has influenced my life to this day LOL and I love Arthurian retellings but a lot of them are .... kinda basic this one felt so fresh. SPOILERS: Ok so when they talked about that one guy from Arthurs circle who went to Africa I thought that we were about to find out that that man brought back a black woman to help Arthur with her magic and maybe she was like Gweneviere or something and thats why Bree trusted Nick so fast and why she has this different magic thats not quite what other root users use.
