I do agree that cliffhangers can be quite annoying especially when overused. Like for example the reason I don't even watch any new shows for example is because writers can tend to rely on cliffhangers as season endings to get the audience to invest potential time in more seasons and if a show is cancelled then you basically just wasted your time watching a show that will never get a proper resolution. Miniseries are the only exception because by design they are one and dones

TV show cliffhangers are the worst! Often way worse than book cliffhangers. One of my favorite shows, Forever, is only one season and ends on a cliffhanger

@@ChloeFrizzle If this interests you Ioan Gruffud who starred in that show also started in another 3 season Australian show called Harrow where he plays a medical coroner who solves crimes. And luckily the last season doesn't end on a cliffhanger (granted it was post-COVID so the writers probably decided not to for ease)

🦩17. I really enjoy reading with music. 🎶
@devonmunn57288 ай бұрын
You do you. For me I can't as having music playing while reading a story would be highly distracting for me. Especially since I like to consume one story at a time (as in if I'm watching a show I will pay attention to that show then after I'm done with an episode then I will read some of a book I'm reading)
@ChloeFrizzle8 ай бұрын
I'm curious, does it make any difference to you if the music has words or is instrumental?
@jessealaska25578 ай бұрын
@@ChloeFrizzle Yes, only instrumental. A few nonsense vocalizations or maybe foreign words is fine, but definitely no English words

1. I think my problem with long series is that I don't like not finishing them. I just want to know how the story continues even if I don't enjoy them. So often I don't start series if they have more than 5 books because I then have the pressure to finish them. But if I enjoy a book I mostly wish for it to continue in a longer series.

Ugh yes I hate it when I have a series that is just interesting enough to make me feel like I need to read the next book, not not good enough for me to enjoy it

Lolz i'm 40% into The Book that Broke the World and I see exactly what you mean, because I am having to stop and think, who is that again. But I'm actually enjoying it more than Book 1 because the themes interest me more. I have read a lot of series where I wished they broke it up into trilogies and quads the way Robin Hobb and others do. There are very few writers I will read twenty books of theirs one after the other, if I can read three or four, finish a leg of the race, go away and read something else and then come back for the second leg six months later. Great.

If you were looking for suggestions on nonfiction books, I think you might like these. You use a lot of graphs and data in your videos, and these books have many interesting facts and data in them. - The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson. The author is a historian and writes in an easy accessible way. Lots of interesting tidbits about how everyday monetary things originated. - Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. Shows so many cases where women and their needs were not considered when designing or planning things and the resulting consequences. - Freaconomics by Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt. An oldie but a goodie. This books talks about behavioral economics and how certain choices that may seem irrational have hidden reasons behind them. - Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Also on behavioral econmics. He and his team set up experiments that shed light on human behavior. For example to see how often and why people lie or cheat in small stakes situations.

IIRC, Teckla was written while Brust was breaking up with his then wife, which bled badly into the book. It's by far the weakest in the series and I think Brust was served poorly by his editor here. Have you read any of Brust's Khaavren Romance series (also set in Dragaera)? I really like at least the first couple of books, but they're very odd and very different from the Vlad Taltos books. If you haven't, I'd recommend taking a look at the first few pages. That should at least be enough to know if you will hate the style. And I absolutely agree with your judgement of cliffhangers.
