book haul! 🌴 myths, beach reads and green apple [cc]

[@work-in-progress]

SHE IS BACK!!!! 🥺🥰 missed you so much, hope you're doing better

[@_dralukas]

the moment you were in a reading slump for the past two weeks and noelle posts a video and you watch it and after it immediately pick up a book again 📚 thank u 🍀

[@NovaVanBuren]

sameeeeee

"There are only five books left" - the saddest statement ever spoken

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Summer in the UK is going so great, it went, it’s gone, there is no summer left 😭💙

[@rosiejennapsych]

Too true 😭 nice 2 day summer though

[@fictionalfates]

summer in the UK lasts two seconds 😂

[@impulseimp1035]

As well as in Belarus🌦🌧

[@louisemacdonald5585]

People I work with are in total denial the UK 🇬🇧 summer is long gone this year 🤣

[@kijafeld1498]

"Let's talk about myths, baby" is an amazing podcast for understanding mythology

[@amxranthine2766]

Yes greek myth is my current summer obsession too!

[@thalitapascoal7583]

I’m always so happy when Noelle posts 🥺

[@ZoeMikelStites]

Same

[@ilianasanto1440]

As a greek person, here we say it "Kle-te-mne-stra". The first and third e (Kle and mne) sounds as an actual e, like we say "glee or tree". And the second one (te) sounds like "eh" like we say "egg". So it's kinda like Klee-teh-mnee-stra. It's probably a different pronansuation in english but that's the greek style! I probably confused you more!😂

[@georginakerr]

I came here to comment this 😅 I’m in England and we use the same pronunciation as you

[@rosiejennapsych]

I NEEDED Noelle today, thank you 🥺

[@hayleybernier6955]

I literally breathed a sigh of RELIEF when I saw this.

[@jaynm]

“weird” is an understatement for The Pisces hahah. I loved it nonetheless!

[@alejandravillanueva307]

AHHHH I MISSED YOUUUU, i love your hairstyle btw hehe you look so pretty

[@madusilva7808]

Sorry, but what does btw mean? It's because I'm Brazilian so I didn't and I tend haha

[@alejandravillanueva307]

@@madusilva7808 it’s “by the way” 😌

[@francescakyanda9182]

Absolutely thrilled for upcoming mythology content, I was a Percy Jackson kid, so anything having to do with any mythology intrigues me greatly

[@tuniemert]

I can’t wait to read The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman! The Thursday Murder Club was such a charming book for me, and I need that kind of bright, witty British humor back in my life right now. So happy for you to invest in yourself in therapy-I’ve gone at different times in my life, and somewhat recently started again for OCD and it’s been lifegiving. Hang in there ❤️

[@emilywild21]

Mythos by Stephan Fry is an amazing book about Mythology. Get the audiobook for sure!! And one of my favorite books of all time is The Gilly Salt Sisters by Tiffany Baker...a bit of magic, romance, family drama and and it's set by the sea.

[@caitlyngabbert3790]

I am OBSESSED with The Siren! One of my favorites reads of this year, so underrated

[@Nessie18896]

ayooooo it's "kly tem ness trah" finally a use for my classics degree

[@TheScrappymom13]

The Gifts of Imperfection... is simply the best. My therapist recommended it to me and I have literally tabbed/highlighted/written in the margins on practically every page. I hope it helps you too!!

[@savakha]

I just started Daisy Jones & The Six, it’s so good and I don’t regret buying it, hopefully it doesn’t disappoint me

[@chloehasson]

This video was the perfect lunch break escape from work! Thanks Noelle 😊

[@lenniejoaquin7091]

Those are such great books, can't wait to know your thoughts and more vlogsss! yeyy

[@x3lea866]

I almost jumped in joy seeing your new video uploaded! So good to see you Noelle! You made my day ❤️

[@ffiontill5924]

Instantly brightens my day. Gosh I love you Noelle and hope you’re well and taking care and alsooo love how colourful your bookshelves are. They look so bright perfect to go with summer rn.

[@TumbleFourYa]

I've recently been wanting to look into more mythology and retellings as well so this video came at the best time! Thanks for the indirect recs😉

[@kirstiepalmer9070]

A Thousand Ships is incredible! I read and fell in love with it - it gives so many perspectives and the writing is beautiful ❤️

[@bpena6823]

I have binge watching your videos all week, so glad you’re back😭😭

[@_feral_streep_]

Hell yes mythology!! I loved A Thousand Ships!! Thank you for helping me find more myth retellings to add to my TBR

[@kendrak8580]

[@jade728]

Ahhh I hope you’re doing better noelle I’m so happy you’re back !!!! I love all the mythology retelling you have lined up, and for me I’m most looking forward to reading the housekeeper and the professor 🥰🥰🥰

[@sadiesarrazin]

The Pisces is AMAZING! One of the best books I read last year. It’s actually quite heartbreaking and disturbing, but it’s savagely funny. Melissa Broder is a writing goddess. Happy reading, Noelle! ❤️📚

[@monsteroni]

Your hair looks FANTASTIC in this and the book shelf looks satisfying af 😌

[@lizzymc1300]

Sweet mercy, I love your book shelves.😲😲😲😲 beautiful bookshelves filled with actual books & not just a few books with stuff for esthetic purposes are so stunning to me.💗

[@sanazlol1723]

Oh i’ve been thinking of adding a thousand ships to my tbr! I’ll definitely make sure to read it soon.

[@3333martina]

@@sanazlol1723 If you like greek mithology also The silence of the girls by Pat Barker is stunning, it talks about the war of troy seen by Briseis

[@alphabett0wn]

can’t wait for the mythology vlog! also your hair looks incredible here i’m obsessed

[@agirlabookandamom6721]

So glad you're back! I read The Invisible Husband of Frick Island. I really liked it! The Book of Lost Names is on my TBR. As always you have some excellent books that you picked up!

[@BrandiElise1995]

If you’re loving Water themed books you must read The Awakening !!! One of my all time favorites and it’s a short Novella. Kate Chopin’s short stories are killer as well

[@emilyem3]

CANNOT wait for your reaction to The Pisces….that’s all I’ll say 😂🙃

[@trishluck8406]

OMG!! I've missed your videos sooo much! I couldn't click on this fast enough! I really hope the package I sent a few weeks ago made it to you. Love to see you back! Hope you have a beautiful summer! 💛💛

I’m invested and intrigued and excited for the mythology. Hit me with that lightning bolt. ⚡️😝

[@morgannoelsartisticcreatio9181]

I just recently found this author Scarlet St. Clair and her series A Touch of Darkness which is a Hades and Persephone modern retelling and it is awesome! I just read all the books she has out and cant wait for more!

[@melanieheath9829]

I had a hard time getting into it, strangely. I put it down and I'll try again at some point though.

[@nataliesakaluk6393]

I LOVE mythology and Edith Hamilton’s is a great source. So excited for upcoming mythology content 😍😍😍

[@tansjord]

THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED!!!

[@SR-jn3zj]

I am so happy you're reading A Thousand Ships!!! That and Ariadne are up there as some of my favourite Greek myth retellings, and everything Natalie Haynes writes is worth every word!!!!

[@maddytrowsdale7743]

I actually got to meet Natalie Haynes a couple of years ago because I was studying Classical Civilisation at school! I read a Thousand Ships earlier this year and loved it so much. So well written and I love retellings of the Iliad because i'm less familiar with it compared to the Odyssey and Aeneid. I'm just about to pick up another Natalie Haynes book, 'The Ancient Guide to Modern Life' which is actually non-fiction about how Greek and Roman life is still present in our everyday. She has also written a few other myth retellings such as 'The Children of Jocasta' which are also meant to be really good. I'd also recommend the Canongate myth series, which is a collection of different myth retellings from different authors, especially 'The Penelopiad' by Margaret Atwood.

[@nellwilliams5548]

What age do u recommend for a Thousand Ships?

[@maddytrowsdale7743]

@@nellwilliams5548 it is an adult book so there are some mature themes but nothing too explicit from what i remember. For me personally I would say 15/16 but i guess it depends on each person and how they are with reading mature books. I hope this helps :)

[@nellwilliams5548]

@@maddytrowsdale7743 thank you so much!
