The find my forever home read-a-thon is just such a cute and wholesome idea omg!!! ❤

[@heyimsasa]

book adaptations are always tricky because you're trying to cater to an audience who has a very specific view of characters are, how the plot goes, how things should be depicted, etc. that's why i would never do it 😂

[@honeyedblood]

I felt the exact same way! I completely understand that an adaptation can't be a one-to-one but it's like they kept the shape of the body but threw away all of the connective tissue, which would be okay if not for the fact that they didn't replace it with anything. Also.....so much hamfisted expository dialogue....so much...

[@annabananabones08]

I was so looking forward to the movie 😭 I'll wait for it on streaming I guess

[@lunarbookling2139]

I actually loved the movie!

[@alfathemarine]

Where can I find your playlist? I loved the songs in this video

[@stephaniethies3682]

I read this book last year only because you recommended it and I LOVED it! I was so excited when I heard about the movie but now I'm upset that it's getting such horrible reviews.

[@NixLaLoupe]

Not me relating to Mina based on your description of her. Relatable character who? Anti-social? Not good enough for their family who loves them very much? Dumby who would totally investigate a weird noise in the woods? Girl. That. Is. Me.

[@samml3566]

you should read Our Crooked Hearts. I have heard others not care for how detached the main character is, but I love characters like Mina, and I really fell in love with Our Crooked Hearts and the main character in it. I think you may enjoy as well :)

Those waffles looked soo good. Your readathon sounds perfect

[@jenniferwilliams9699]

Just joined your Patreon and I’m so excited! You’re my favorite person on KZbin!

[@thecozyarchives]

Obsessed with the gallery wall! Can’t wait for the readathon 🙂

[@gabbyreads]

That waffle looked so good 🤭😮‍💨 also that’s a bummer that the movie wasn’t good!

[@asinhorelli]

istg i started laughing a few times during the movie because of the audacity of mr. m night, when it was done i turned to my bestie and said: i'm gonna need you to read the book

[@FrogOnWiFi]

His daughter directed it actually.. lol nepotism.

[@briannanicole5309]

The sequel intrigues me, I feel like the watchers is almost a perfect one shot! I wasn’t particularly in love with the plot but I feel like all of the fun really came from that last page and the mystery unraveling which feels impossible to do with a sequel

[@pumpkinschannel777]

I feel the same. A sequel seems like it would completely destroy the tension of the book's ending, which imo was the best part!

[@arleneallen8824]

I picked it up on audio because it is free if you have an Audible account!

[@angelwalker979]

I loved the Watchers! Read it last year, I may re read it before the sequel comes out! Really excited for that! Not going to see the movie. Wasn't planning on it anyway but you sealed the deal for me Jordaline lol. ❤️

[@heatherruiz9490]

Such a good review 👏 👌 🙌! I haven't read the book or watched the movie, but I have seen several comparison reviews while avoiding the spoilers. Now I'm really looking forward to reading the book. It's all about the proper character development, and when the movie screws that up, it really pisses me off!! I'll probably still watch the movie, but at least I know to lower my expectations 😅!

[@tinaparayil]

The Watchers was a 5⭐️ read, can't wait for the sequel! Will definitely skip the movie since it's not giving hor-ror 😅

[@romyespy6586]

I enjoyed the 1 jump scare too 😂

[@naomiking7518]

❤❤❤

[@Pheasant-wy3cg]

I’ve just started reading this,seems very similar to the tv show From which I enjoyed,how disappointing the film is 💩 I rarely enjoy book adaptations,books are always better x

[@datemrzeadatisedive6291]

I liked the movie!

[@baloghnia]

I begann the book, in audio a couple of months ago, because of you. I did not like it, so i soft dnf-ed. But i am planning to read it soon. I' m shore i didn't liked it because the audio form. I will give a try again.

[@shakodeycarson9253]

If you do your makeup during these, do it on camera! Then it’s like a full day hanging out with my lazy bestie because that’s my kind of day. Sleep late, do nothing, eat, do makeup, watch a movie, eat, read, skincare, snacks, cozy bedtime, movie, read goodnight Oh! And pet my cats 😂

[@MoJordanReads]

I'm under the impression that it's actually better to watch the movie prior to reading the book - obviously just for those that haven't read prior to an adaptation being made. I have never been disappointing reading a book after watching a movie. It's either science or pure luck on my part 😂

[@martinodendaal1703]

Okay...I gotta ask - who is TIFFANY?

[@DEMIDEVINE]

I can always count on laughing with you 😂

[@michlalala]

The movie wasn’t all that it could be, but I’m glad I saw it because I stan Dakota Fanning 😅🤩 I felt like it stuck to the basic plot/lore. The ending was sadly the most different, but I feel like a lot of the changes they made were to cater to an audience that may not have read the book. The book is a SHINING 5 star 🌟 though. Anyone who hasn’t read it should asap!!

[@solangelicag]

This book is my all time favourite horror book. I not only love it, I live for it! I am so not watching the movie for what they have done to the characters 😢

[@suziet6535]

I was actually wondering of you will 😅

[@drax17]

Hated what they did to Madeline ! They took away all the tension you get from the book. Such a disappointment.

[@FrogOnWiFi]

My mom and I were the only ones in the theatre besides 1 dude by himself. Waste of time and money 😒 Nepo baby director.

[@momentarilyAnisa]

I gave the book 2 stars, it was so damn drab & the payoff wasn’t worth it keep going on. So I’d hope maybe the movie would be a better format.

[@CrazySauce09]

I appreciate this review so much. I was hoping for so much more with this movie. literally when the movie ended I turned to my friend and said “no you don’t understand, Madeline was a raging bitch in the book”.

[@TheWorldAccordingToLouise]

Be honest though, how many times did you fall off the chair when filming the ad 😂

[@samml3566]

My bf didnt reade the book but he really enjoyed the movie. I did like that they went more into the lore of the watchers, but they really butchered madeline imo. Edit to add that I also hated how they portrayed Daniel. He just seemed diff in the book

[@NixLaLoupe]

How much does it cost to join the cult?

[@Jillybeanzxo]

Damn man, I love Dakota Fanning, or I loved her with Brittany Murphy in Uptown Girls lol. So that’s a shame.

[@erinpatton]

The movie was better but both were bad

[@MarcosSouza-rr5ns]
