I really loved this video! You sound so intelligent and that is all I could think throughout - like the last comment said, please have more faith in your reviews, you are so great!! Also a fan of Dolly Alderton with Ghosts as my least favourite, I would recommend Good Material though :) I have heard a lot of people that love Donna Tartt 'style' dark academia books love Leigh Bardugo - are any of their books on your TBR? Goldfinch is still on mine!

thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! I loved Good material, I think I reviewed it last month or the month before but it was sooo entertaining. I read Ninth House earlier this year and honestly, while I enjoyed it, I didn't really feel like it lived up to the hype? It was a bit lost on me, I don't know if I'll be reading the sequel. However the Goldfinch is definitely on my TBR still! I bought the physical copy so i might read it this month or the next

Ah I must have missed good material as if a book is on my TBR at the time I skip past you talking about it incase spoilers haha! Same with ninth house, a shame it wasn’t as good as you’d have hoped. Fingers crossed for goldfinch🫶🏻 hope you’re having a great week xx

This is a great book review, please don't play yourself down for your book reviewing abilities because you are eloquent and engaging! I had similar views about Babel, although I wouldn't pick it up again. I think it works perhaps well for YA who might still be developing their thoughts and understanding around colonalism in making it quite clear that it is wrong, but for a more mature mind it can come across as a bit patrionising. I also felt that the fantasy element was not really fulfilled in this book, it was pretty much the same Victorian England just with more a sprinkle of magic, so I didn't feel transported elsewhere. Thanks for your recommendation for Dark Matter, I've added it to my TBR list for when I'm also off a book buying ban :) P.S - Came for your (awesome) tattoo tour video but very happy there's a spot here for books too!

owww this means so much to me, thank you so much! I should be less hard on myself with reviews, especially now I've been doing it for over a year! Totally agree about Babel; would have loved to see more of the fantasy element, it felt like she only skimmed the surface because maybe it was too 'big' to fully realise? The more I dwell on it, the more flaws I find with Babel, but how much I enjoyed the first half overrides my feelings about the second half 😫 and thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!!

Thank you for understanding the problem about SJM ❤👏 a lot of people worship her and buy her books no matter how horrible of a person she is, it's like reading fairy smut is more important than having humanity!!
@charlotte.michelleАй бұрын
honestly it's really the least I can do...I'd rather not endorse her works than have people think I'm anything like that!

Dark matter had me sitting on the couch hours after just thinking about how much destruction Jason2 wrought and how happy I am that my life is so chill
@charlotte.michelleАй бұрын
so glad i never pursued that career in science after reading that 😮💨

thank you to open up about SJM !! I feel like nobody want to talk about it because they love her books so much, but I'm like... you can't continue reviewing and giving credit to a problematic author, even if you enjoyed the books
