Hi again! See, I am catching up with your videos. You have such beautiful notebooks! I know I don't use many notebooks, but I'm always tempted to buy them, especially those with intricate old looking covers. For keeping track of what I use on my colouring pages, I use a Atoma notebook. Do you know these? They have rings and it's easy to take out pages, but also to put them back. I used a regular notebook first, but I often wouldn't have it nearby as I colour all over the house. And then I would think I'd do it later, and guess what, I wouldn't... So now I take the page out of the Atoma notebook and put it in the colouring book until my page is finished. That seems to work a lot better for me. I took a screenshot of the page with the book series you're reading, because I want to check them out. I already know some of them. I LOVE Terry Pratchett!! I've been reading his books since I was a teenager, and I still reread them. I've also read the Wheel of Time series, love that too. A series that is not on your list, is the Laws of Magic (I presume that's the English name) by Terry Goodkind, and I like them too, but they are also very cruel. And my latest discovery is Sarah J. Maas, I was blown away by her Throne of Glass series. Last but not least, your art is great! You are quite hard on yourself, it may not be perfect yet, but most people can't do what you do. I like the watercolour most, but your people are good as well. Have fun with all your hobbies ❤

Thank you so so much! First off, I am sorry it always takes me a little while to answer. I don't always have the spoons to sit down and give your comments (or any comments, really) thr attention they deserve, but I'm here now!:) I haven't heard about the atoma notebooks, but that sounds like a perfect solution for you! Me, I live in a small apartment and mostly just have one dedicated craft desk, so notebooks work fine for me^^. The reading video got delayed"/ I had some issues with the editibg and then I got unsure on whether I needed to add a houndred and one caviats (Things on the internet are, after all, forever and giving away thoughts on books can be a bit delicate. Tastes and interpretations and circumstances are so different ...) Terry Pratchett is absolutely brilliant, his prose is just wonderful. Terry Goodkind I read when I was young and impressionable and I liked it then. I've changed my opinion since then and I've never tried a SJ Maas book, but I suspect they aren't to my current taste, but I am really happy you liked it! That's the important thing after all:) Wishing you a lovely week

@@aclutteredlife No need to apologise, I know all about spoons 🙄 And anyway, everybody has a life that gets in the way sometimes, social media are supposed to be fun, not something to feel guilty about. I just like "talking" to you, it doesn't matter if it takes some time. Yeah, that's why I will never put a video on KZbin, I think you're all very brave 😅. Enjoy your reading ❤️
