18th - 25th Nov | Reading Vlog | Continuing Ongoing Series

You're not making me more excited to get back to Dark Tower lol. And I am still holding out hope for you and Stormlight, especially now that I have completed my re-read and was reminded that it really just gets so so so much better the more you read on. Also, I feel you on the no chapters debacle, that is just a crime to me hahaha. Going Postal is one of the rare Discworld books that does have chapters and I enjoyed that one immensely!! Loved the vlog, hope your mom is recovering well 💕💕

@@esmayrosalyne yeaaaah, I’m not the right person to come to if you need motivation with Dark Tower, I barely have enough for me 😂😂 I mean, I liked Warbreaker and Elantris though they started off slow so I assume this series just needs some breathing room. Watch Oathbreaker be my favourite just so I can shock everyone! 😅 No Chapters should be outlawed 💯🤦‍♀️ I’m still happy to keep reading discworld and I’m ever hopeful one will come out of left field and make me love it. But even if they stay like this I’m happy to keep reading them. My mum is fine now thankfully, she’s still limping of course but she’s well on her way to full recovery. Thanks for asking 😍

I'm with you, Wizard and Glass was just ok and the language was so annoying! I have tried to read Pratchett but i get stuck - idk if its the writing or the humor doesnt land with me, but I really want to keep trying. I think I will try the witches arc next.

@@jessicayork9035 yeah I wanted to like Wizard & Glass so much more than I did. Hubby said the audiobook experience is better because it feels like Roland is telling you his story, so if you did feel compelled to continue Dark Tower that may be an avenue? I feel you about Pratchett! I reeeeeeally want to love his books because the themes are great but they’re not as big of a hit as I would like them to be! Let me know how you get on with the Witches arc, which ones have you tried so far?

@@bookschocaholic I read Color of Magic and honestly cant remember anything about it and I got more than 50% into Guards Guards and just couldnt finish but i did hear that the audiobooks for Pratchett are really good so i may try those too.

So it's so long since I read Way of Kings and it didn't totally vibe with me so maybe my opinion isn't valid, but I also don't understand the Shallan hate. I just thought something must happen later in the series to make people dislike her, but who knows if I will ever continue to find out 😂 It's a shame all of your reads were 3 stars, but it looks like you still had a productive reading week!

[@bookschocaholic]

Yeah I presume further down the line she either becomes annoying or simply not as interesting and therefore cause of frustration when you want to get back to other characters. Yeah, its happened a few times lately where I have a week of 3 stars. This week is shaping up better though!
