Sandy, so comforting to meet another creator who has cheat notes for videos! Thanks for your take on the Wildest Dreams tag

I don’t think there’s enough time to get the book and read it. But thanks for the interview.

If there was anything I could criticize the Imaginarium for, it would be too many offerings to choose from. Too many times I've had to choose between three panels or events running at the same time, only to miss them all because I met Author So-and-so and we talked about something for an hour.

It's not for nothing that I read "1984" every year...

Post office didn't send you shit. The company sent it. The post office delivered it. You probably signed up for something online that triggered the sample. Your level of ignorance is astounding. Lol

It's Hleo-Arcana.

I LOVED this book so much!

I’ve been to the archive. It’s amazing!

the Amanda Charriss candle smells amazing too. Damien sent me a sample with my order.

Generally I'm not interested in "romance" stories, but this sounds interesting.

When I think of this channel I think of indy authors getting a great review on their book (even if you don’t care for it). I’ve learned a lot about writing and the industry listening to you talk. You have a passion for our fine feathered friends and it comes in a very considerate way.

Books and birds 📚🦜

you're known for Birds and Books. 🙂

📯Spoiler: I finished So Let Them Burn. I did not find the romantic relationships believable , no chemistry for me, but did find the character somewhat interesting but not interesting enough, unfortunately. I was not invested in the characters story. The god magic system has been done a lot and it didn’t feel fresh enough for me. However, there were moments I felt emotion when we hear about her parents crying when their family members died in the war. I did not find the young girls as warriors explained enough. The world building needed more work. Alara was my favorite, I wanted to follow her the most but did not like the idea of her falling in love with a member of the the dominant race, this happens alot in books,and it’s cliche. I wanted to know more about the dragons and the Drakes. I did love the ending with Faron running away with the bad guy. That should’ve been Faron’s story, that is interesting. The issue really started with the convoluted plot. When the Empty came into the picture it just started getting confusing; however, I did like that the egg in the town hatches. And I also loved the writing. She’s got a new dark academia book coming out and I’m preordering it!!

What is this channel known for? The thoughtful review of So Let Them Burn, and that brought me back for more!

Great review! I just put the book on hold at the library. I have a bird too, a blue crown conure! If you ever want to do a buddy read with your subscribers I’m in!

❤❤🤗

I enjoyed so much this video and found two points of connection with you. The first is very funny, I am Mexican and my natal tongue is spanish (I still live here in Mexico, although it is my dream to live there someday) and something that has helped me a lot to improve my english is to read the bible. I will admit that before I never had studied the bible in spanish, so now i feel that I understand better some faith stuff in english than in spanish. Sometimes i feel like you said, that something i read in english makes me understand better something i heard in spanish. The second one is you liking tragic love stories. As a young woman I used to eat and breath poetry and one in particular that´s my favourite is called "la tristeza del inca" of Jose Santos Chocano. Its so beautiful and so tragic. It tells about an Incan prince that looks for a beautiful woman to love him, but as he doesn't find her he resorts his energy to conquering and expanding his empire, seeing it doesn't give him any satisfaction he calls the high priest to find out why he is not pleased and the high priest tells him he will never find among his kingdom the love he desires because he has dreamed a white woman, and explain that in the future that race will overpower the region and bring another lenguaje, another god and another king. So when he reach the time he must take a wife he buries himself and dies dreaming of a woman with coral lips and blonde hair. I wish you can read it, maybe the translator will loose some of the beauty of it, but I think it's worth looking at. And totally agree, this world needs a lot of love.

thank you again, Sandy! I really enjoyed doing this interview! :)

Good interview.

I'm so happy KZbin recommended this to me! Such a wonderful video, such a wonderful poem such a wonderful reading. Thank you for making my day better

You gave some spoilers away. It’s that Amara does not get picked for the Elite “squad” to fly Valor. I’m on chapter 3 in the book, so it’s kinda spoiler just FYI.

I learned about "Dragon's Blood" via an episode of CBS Afternoon Playhouse (hosted by Bob Keeshan, Captain Kangaroo himself!) I read Dragon's Blood and Heart's Blood to my son about this time last year, but haven't found the third book anywhere yet. I thought they were pretty good stories, and picked up on a few little things reading as an adult vs. a middle schooler. (That Bag Girls were hookers, I already figured that one out.) I think Yolen wrote two more books in this world, but I can't verify that at the moment.

Interesting reading of the book and author's note there. I enjoyed it even tho I don't think that's what the author is implying. I don't think he is talking about immigration or refugees. He is clearly talking about forceful capturing of lands and killing indigenous civilizations in the name of expansion and exploration that happened in the past, and even happening now in some areas. And you talk about organisations doing positive work, which is true, but I am sorry, they are teeth-less atm. USA can pull out of the Paris Climate change accord just like that and no one can say no. Infact most organisations have top same powerful countries with veto powers to block any proposals or laws made by other countries. I think we need more powerful bodies. Just my 2 cents. Ofc Trisolarians thinks that Earth will attack them . They got all the information about earth and its civilization from ETO, who themselves hold this biased belief. Also you yourself later described that there are pacifists on Trisolaris too, like the one who sends message to not respond again. Also I found it weird that you would call people who hold different opinions and beliefs as "sad people" or "poor people" whether you agree with them or not. Also in many east Asian countries, you call people by their surname if you are not close to them. I think you oversimplified Ye Wenjie's arc. Her father and mentor dying was just a start. Her personality slowly cultivated over time. Her reading the book Silent Spring about how humans are affecting the environment for progress(how spraying pesticides is considered a neutral action for humans, but for environment, it is no different that cultural revolution that she witnessed), while working in a group of forests clearers. Her meeting with Evans and other like minded people. Her rading more similar books during the time of the Cold War where so much human suffering ensued. Her meeting the girls who lynched her father and not getting any remorse or apology. "We are history!! It's a new age. Who will remember us, including you? Everyone will forget all of this completely." That was the last straw of her feeling guilt about betraying the humans. And she had hope multiple times. She refused to sign the paper on which her father's "group members" names were written. She would have had no problem in signing if she gave up on everything. After giving birth and getting the affection of villagers she lived with at that time, clearly affected her in a positive way. "The Tundra that had taken a hold in her heart started to melt." The changing policies after the cultural revolution, like equality in giving exams, etc. Page 191 "Sometimes I thought the life was precious and everything was important; but other times I thought humans were insignificant, and nothing was worthwhile. That kind of thinking infused the second half of my life."

I love this, thanks so much for doing it. I love your take on it. I need to look into your books too.

You might need to add more spelt flour for the texture

I just finished reading and it was sooo good! I cried also! Thank you for your review, I never realized the lemon pie symbolism until you mentioned it!

I usually DNF a book if I realize I'm not connecting to the characters, and am just skimming through. I've got a couple of books I ordered in 2020 that I thought were interesting, but by the time I got around to reading them, I wasn't interested anymore. They're still packed away downstairs, waiting for the day I unearth them again and read nonstop. I also had to force myself to read literary fiction for English class, and write papers on, but I doubt I'll EVER read Socrates or Homer ever again.

I DNF'd a book in high school over a minor inaccuracy. I picked it back up and it's my favorite book of all times. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy guides my life now.

The first poem, about the chicken is adorable. Felt like something a kid would love. It would be great if you repeat this kind of selection : a very simple poem and another one more complex or simbolic. Still thinking that i love your voice.

Two awesome people on one live stream. Hell yeah!

想像下如果来一群三体人来到地球灭了美国，可以解释为了美国的民主自由吗？书中的概念和思想明显你没有理解。 请读完小学中学成长20年你可能会跟上这些想法。

Thank you for hosting me! I had a wonderful time and look forward to the next!

Netflix version just skipped the plan discussion on Judgement Day. Viewers will think how stupid it is to cut a ship open for a disk. Why don’t they air drop people in. Actually it is well explained in both the book and Tencent show.

why you that old still so naive

no ，after read all book ,you will know that the author's ideas are completely different from what you currently think

You're doing great with the clock reading challenge. I recently watched The Three Body Problem on Netflix and loved it. Would like to read the books and see how they match up.

Please please also do a review for book 2 and book 3

All signed up. Thank you for sharing.

Wow that's cool! Fantasy! Everything comes from fantasy. Every idea starts from fantasy. Even science. Yes yes! We are part of the underbelly of the book channel community. I'm okay with that. There are so many other worlds. Who wants to be mainstream? Blah!

Happy Birthday!
