hello 👋 very good content

So much good stuff! Hope you have a great time with these reads.

📚 "A Complicated Love Story Set in Space" by Shaun David Hutchinson, a book I devoured about a year ago, is an absolute gem in the world of YA science fiction. 💫 Hutchinson masterfully weaves together elements of romance, mystery, and mind-bending science fiction, creating a story that's as intricate as it is heartwarming. The characters' complexities and their journey through space and emotions kept me utterly engaged. 🚀 If you're looking for a mind-bending, emotionally rich story that defies genre boundaries, "A Complicated Love Story Set in Space" should be at the top of your reading list. 📖 #BookReview #MemorableRead #AComplicatedLoveStorySetInSpace

very interesting:)

I would be SO smug about that bookshelf if I was you, especially the extra step of cutting out all the decorations. When the tumblr posts showed up, I started cackling. So much character packed into this! Hearing about throwing out signed Kenneth Oppel books did hurt me but in a very hypocritical way because I have absolutely donated a signed YA book and never looked back.

I am currently reading it. And so far I like Nadi and Ianthe and Ysbeta. I have mixed feelings about Beatrice tho. I agree that the world building is really nice. Overally enjoying the book so far.

i was so happy to see that you uploaded! i'm glad that you are getting better and i'm so proud of you for taking that trip to Toronto 🤧 reading for recovery series sounds pretty exciting, can't wait to hear you talking about 'the body keeps the score' in depth. i read this book last year and to say that it was life changing would be an understatement - i now better understand how my own brain/body works, why i experience certain things, and what my best friend dealing with ptsd might be going through. i'm currently reading 'women who run with the wolves' and i personally find it very beneficial for my mental health as well, since it reminded me of how important it is not to forget about the things that i like (being art and diy). it resonated with you saying that you don't want to lose the things that you love. i love the pots you're painting! and the lego set looks sooo stunning 😍

💖💖

thank you for a nice book chat ❤ listening to you i thought that maybe i should read 'saga' - it's been around for so long and i think i've never heard anyone saying anything bad about the series 🤔 you've also pointed out to me that under/misrepresentation of the arospec is very frustrating to people who identify as aromantic i've never actually thought of it because all of the ace stories i read kinda align with how i feel about romantic attraction but i guess it must be as dissatisfying as stories revolving around sex to asexuals are 🤷‍♀️ maybe it's the heavily romance-focused culture that we're being raised in makes the accurate aroace representation so difficult even for people on the aroace spectrum themselves oh, and speaking of representation! i feel like comics and poetry are the media that are always a step ahead of time because of their format that is easier to spread and consume - maybe that's why there's so much diversity in them nonetheless, hope you start feeling better soon ❤

i got recommended your video and i clicked on it mostly because of your shirt! and i'm so glad i did! not only your shirt is cool, i also love the way you talk about books AND webcomics! and your voice is so calming too 🥺 'the charm offensive' seems very interesting! love myself some good ace and mental health issues rep 🙌

Awesome video, as always!👍 I gotta reread the LotR books, it's been a while. I think you look terrific btw 😍💜

Hello! Loved your take on the show. Couple things for me: I also felt uncomfortable with Elle telling Tao about Nick and Charlie because it really wasn’t her story to tell. I understand she was pushed in a corner and that’s why she did it. Another thing is about that scene with Nick being in Charlie’s room after running through the rain, he takes off his soaking wet sweatshirt but then puts it back on to go back home. I can’t imagine having to put on a soaking wet and cold hoodie. I think also a lot of people don’t understand the reason they show Charlie on his tiptoes because that was one of the things on his wish list when he was talking to Tori on the bus. Nick pretty much fills everything on his wish list. I kind of feel like Tao was acting like a big baby when the whole relationship bloomed right in front of his face. I do feel like they should’ve included Tao at the milkshake scene whenever everybody else was finding out. On the other hand, I also understand that because Tao is said to be the one who outed Charlie that Charlie would be concerned about telling him for fear that he would do the same to Nick. Tao hints to this after Elle tells him. I have watched a ton of reactions to the series and most of the time whenever Olivia Colman shows up on her first scene almost everybody says oh my God is that Olivia Colman? LoL. I think it would’ve been great for Isaac to jump up and beat the hell out of Harry when Harry hit Tao with the ball. That would’ve been classic. Just a few of my thoughts. :). PS am I the only one that thinks Charlie’s mom was kind of a bitch? She was kind of rude.

I think "Aled" is meant to be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, kind of like the name Alec, just with a "d" at the end instead of a "c". I think it's a Welsh name, and I'm not Welsh myself, but I've watched some Welsh language television programming, and I believe I've heard that name spoken out loud on something I've watched in Welsh.

Surprised to see the conversation between Tao and Nick so COMPLETELY misinterpreted. Tao literally tells Nick it's fine that he's not ready to come out yet. It's one of the best moments in the series and I hope you've changed your view of it on a rewatch. Agree about the wet shoes and Nick dumping his soaked hoodie on Charlie's bed though! But I guess it's awful trying to put wet shoes back on so I can kind of understand that choice.

Sounds awesome! I'll have to give this show a watch and the webcomic a read. I quite like Alice Oseman's work. I mean, I've only read part of Loveless, but I love it so far! 🤘🖤🤍💜🤘

I loved this show smmm

👍🏽

Hello from Lil’wat. I only ever manage to get hold of Canada Reads titles just before the program starts. I don’t read nearly as much as I once did. I’m trying to decide which book to jump into at the moment. This one sounds intense. Both my parents are survivors. Thanks for this video.

Great video!! I really liked it! This book sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a read sometime. Even though my backlog is massive 😂

Hey!!! I really love your channel, i’ve been watching a lot of you vids and im officially a fan❤️ greetings from México🇲🇽

Thank You So Much ,I’m Ordering The Book🙏🙏🙏

Hi, thanks for the video, I will definitely check some of that list. I want to recommend something to you I just read an amazing book, that none of my friend will try, and I need someone else to enjoy it ! maybe you will :) Its call Vigor Mortis, its about.. a very poor orphan girl, who discover she became a necromancer, and its going weird for her. Its a web novel, and you can read it free at the website - Royal Road .

Interesting. I just disovered Joshua Whitehead as a recommended Indigenous author and I very much appreciate your review of the book. I have not read the book in this review but it sort of sounds like Whitehead is maybe more of a writer influenced by poetry in how he may use shock value and explicit language and scenes to give Indigenous queer sexuality a place (?). I know sexuality is important in a lot of queer works, so that is just what I am thinking. As a matter of fact, a lot of even white Brit writers use the explicit sex in their work to emphasize queer sexuality (e.g., Alan Hoinghurst's "Line of Beauty" from the Thatcher years of England in the realist approach). Thank you so much for your review and this will help me decide how I think I should perceive the book/work. Enjoyed your review and I am now subscribed. And, btw, hello or "ya'a't'eeh" from Navajoland. Peace.

why does barely anyone talk about long exposure its so good istg

Thanks for the video 😊

Yess I love Check, Please! The characters really make this story, I always feel good and in my feels whenever I read it. I was sad when it ended but thought it concluded on a perfect note. By the way there's a lot of other queer webcomics I can certainly recommend- I think this is a great series and would love to see it continue, being a big webcomic fan myself :). Besides the ones that I saw on the playlist that I was familiar with (Long Exposure- love this comic but need to revisit it, been so long, Sharp Zero- also need to revisit, remember liking and thinking it was funny haha) I can list out some of my faves: 1. Tripping Over You- Details the relationship of two main characters starting in school and into their adult lives- really sweet and you'll be invested in them quick. 2. Jamie- Title character (Jamie) meets a cute red-haired guy at his aunt's wedding and starts befriending him at school, also getting to know the guy's circle of friends. 3. Khaos Komix- An older webcomic, probably one of the very first I've read and maybe the first queer comic I've discovered. Basically each chapter covers a character dealing with their own sexuality and/or relationships with other people. Honestly regard it as a queer webcomic classic and is pretty underrated. 4. Rock and Riot- A much shorter but incredibly charming webcomic set in the 50s I think but with a very diverse cast of characters, all with different sexualities and gender identities, a load of fun! 5. Dumbing of Age- Probably one the longer webcomics out there haha, queerness isn't the overall primary focus but there are plenty of characters that are queer. It's essentially set in a university and has plenty of characters to keep track of. Notable in that this comic is essentially an AU of the author's other webcomic series preceeding it, with all characters from those series being reimagined into a grounded college setting. Not a comprehensive list haha but I certainly enjoyed these!

Great vid!! Gunnerkrigg Court is also one of the earlier webcomics I've read - honestly when I first read it I was just so amazed at how in-depth the worldbuilding was. Like you said though it was the characters that really got me invested into the story and the multiple mysteries that went on. It's honestly crazy how long it's gone on, it really feels like Tom has everything planned out with his story. It's one of my favorites and I'm glad you covered it!

Thanks for the video

so anyway, I used to run ace meets in the UK and quite fancy that I developed an A-dar and you really set off my A-dar btw.

ur brain is huge <3

me: my life is sad. maybe I should read this.

Good luck with your masters apps, my sister's fiancé did an MA in creative writing too! ☺️ Book cries are so cathartic 👌sounds like an insightful story.

Poor Jules, he just wants to make it!

Certain parts made me physically sick, i could not read more than 50 pages in a sitting

HOW DOES MY RECOMMENDED KNOW I JUST READ THIS WTFFF

This is such an important video thank you for making and posting it :)

Right now I'm in the middle of it.. Scared to go on but too attached to the characters to Stop.

Great video! Why doesn’t this have more views?? You went into so much depth about being able to access knowledge in a challenging world. I would also like to talk to one of these people who is afraid of exposing people to certain ideas in books.

Your so underrated ✋😩

That part you said you really wanna murder someone was so meee!!! I mean I haven't read this book yet but I suppose I will feel the same as you

thank u very much for talking about that! i'm 20 and still figuring myself out. It's been wonderful to discover so many ace creators out here, i feel valid 💜

Thanks for reading Banned Book Club!

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much for sharing this with me, I appreciate it, I may try to read these for the summer

Man, these are DEFINITELY interesting 🧐 I may have to read them. Specifically “The inconvenient Indian” and the queer ones. 😊

This webcomic is on par with black tar heroin, I don't know exactly what the creator put in this bomb ass comic. But I am OBSESSED

Thank you so so much for this video. As someone who has struggled with having a valid friendship because of my dyslexia and because of other things I understand your feeling of not fitting in. Even tho I am not Asexual 💜🤍🖤 not going to lie. Being in the LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈community be hard af :b especially when it comes to prosperity and other explicit things my partners want.😬😑So in a way, I can kind of relate sometimes to your feelings of not wanting to get down and dirty.😰I’m sharing this with my mom to bring awareness, and I am going to share more things on Instagram about Asexuality. Well I hope you guys get represented more in the media and have a nice day.😊
