Ooo...making me read classics...

@@carlymadisonpowers5051 Apparently not.

@@NoBoDy_nObOdY_101 This means that I typically don't feel sexual attraction until I first have emotional attraction. It is part of the asexual spectrum.

@@literatimedium Thank you! :)

@@CD287- I ended up really liking Victor, but yes, the flip of hero and villain is so dynamic in that book!

Thank you for letting me know! I don't always edit with headphones on because of sensory issues, but I'll start paying more attention to my audio balance!

Thanks for subscribing and watching!

@@prismanhoef8511 I will!

Nice! I can't wait to hear your take on it.

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. 😭

I'm so glad you found me, too! The challenge definitely helped keep me on target, for sure.

@@oliviaschuster955 OMG, her book "How to Keep House While Drowning" changed my life. Highly recommend to anyone! Granted, it's more of a tidy method than a cleaning method, but the cleaning is much easier to do when things are tidy!

Thank you! I mostly do book content, but this was definitely a fun video to make. That's suck a unique solution for the bookshelves! Thanks for the idea 💚

Thank you for watching! I love it so much.

@@EndriTheCat The way I called myself out! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey there! It's been pretty good, thanks for asking! Though I definitely didn't hit my goal ... 😅Hope all is good for you!

Yeah, it's so disappointing as I used to love NaNoWriMo time (even though I didn't participate). I just thought it was so cool.

@WhatsWrongWithTheStreet And as an American citizen, that is totally within your rights to walk away from financially supporting a company who doesn't align with your ideals. Just like it is the left's side to not associate with people who have shown care nothing for their safety and wellbeing. I understand that seeing the anger in the left side of the political spectrum might be scary to those that don't agree. HOWEVER. The left is not the side with the guns. They are not the ones following my neice around in school shouting "Your body, my choice." The left will continue to support any American citizen's right to exist and live their life, even if we disagree, but we will call the right out when their speech gets hateful because a culture of bigots is not a culture we want to support. The human rights of members of the right are not being systematically taken away (contrary to what some may think). I have less rights as a tax paying citizen in my country than the day I was born simply because I am not a man. This is a fact. This is not because of the Left. All the Left wants is to live their lives in peace, and to do so however they see fit as long as it doesn't involve violence. I do not condone violence. I never will. No matter which side starts it. But I will always stand with marginalized communities because the REAL problem in this country is the billionaires like Musk and Trump who want to sow divides among our people as a distraction for what they are doing: accumulating all the wealth for themselves.

That's cool!

Very cool. I didn't know that!

Yes, I agree! I think challenges can be fun and motivating, but I also felt burnout after NaNo last year.

That's so amazing! Cheering you on! 🥳

Okay, not familiar with what the "nook" stands for here. Would love to know!

@@literatimedium If you google for Nanook, you'll find some information. If you then, *in step two* , google for Nanook Zappa you will find some extra information. cheers! / CS

@@literatimedium Hi! I just posted a comment here. But something is strange. When I view comments sorted "newest first", then I can see my post, but sorted by "top comments", then my post isn't there. I wonder why. cheers! / CS

I'm so glad! As someone who also works a lot (I work 6 days a week), I also understand the time crunch issues. So happy it got you writing!

I will say I was the only one in my book club that enjoyed it. (Filmed this before we met)😅 But I'm always pleasantly surprised when I enjoy a classic.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll go in and add some Chapters for the options.

Thanks for watching!

Good to know! I was worried it was getting confusing jumping around the challenge. Sorry you didn't enjoy the book. What book was it?

@@literatimedium it was "Stone Blind" by Natalie Haynes. Its supposed to be a story about Medusa... but her part was maybe 15 % of the book? A bunch of other Gods and Goddesses had way more POV's

I know. It definitely feels like an end to an era. I grew up with my sister doing a lot of NaNoWriMo

I completely understand that! As an ADHDer, I have a lot of problems with too many hobbies, not enough time.

I... have writing goals??? (lol, I have a long term story I've been slowly chipping away at for years - I've been stuck in world building mode for the past 6 years though) I've started writing down a scene whenever it comes to mind - rather than keeping them in my head where they've been the past decade.

@@UwU-vk3iw Welcome! 🖤💜🩶

@literatimedium Haha, thank you <3 I've known I'm demi since around 2015 tbh but just stumbled across this video, it's always nice when I see someone put my experiences into words. And I'm also glad to see there's more recognition and awareness of it compared to ten years ago!

@@antonia-june Thank you! I think so, too!

I'll admit, I'm a pretty lenient reader. It's rare that I give a book 1 - 2 stars and my average rating according to Storygraph for this year is 3.96 stars, which is slightly above average for me.

Yes, I agree completely!

@@balloongy Thank you! Highly recommend reading the UK edition if you can!

@@Rinniantoinette Yes, exactly!

@@ritzee13 Thank you! I think there are legitimately really good adaptations out there, but in this case, you are 100% correct. They assumed you would have read the book, which honestly is not a good approach to an adaptation.

Right? Me neither! I was really confused. 😅

Thank you!

Great points and I agree! Thanks for subscribing. Looking forward to having more conversations with you.
