On the audiobook issue: I am not the biggest fan but as an ADHD lady, I have to say that reading with the audiobook at the same time is a godsend for bad brain days and it also means I read at the speed of light, which keeps my brain occupied and therefore semi-functional.

A lot of fun, this video, thanks Meg! I was thrilled to see how good “night film” is because I have it, ha ha. It definitely moved up a bunch of spots in my TBR after hearing your rave review of it, though disappointing to hear that the last third wasn’t quite as good. And it’s really cool you learned a lot of nonfiction about Agatha Christie. 😊

A lot of good points. What I dislike about booktok is the glamorization.. the urge to buy a ton of physical books. We dont gave the same budget that is for sure.

I was loving night film but the ending really lost me but still the experience of the whole book was so fun!!

@eleonoragiannetti3603 4 ай бұрын

Whenever I do this challenge it's a punch in the face because it makes me realize how much I am on my phone daily!!!But I only cound "mindless scrolling" as screen time, I would not add the time I use my phone while doing something else .... it s called having fun while being productive, right?

@louise5493 5 ай бұрын

Your critiques of How to Kill Your Family made me realise one of my biggest pet peeves in a book is too much internal dialogue. I DNFd an ARC for Nightwatching (an upcoming thriller) because of the sheer amount of dialogue the character was having with herself, pages of conversation while literal seconds passed in the story of the book, I now realise that is what was bothering me sm about the book🙃😂 I loved this vlog so much!! 💜

Ironically that picture on your bedroom wall behind you reminds me of Night Film, and what I pictured. That can’t be a spoiler, no one would connect that unless you’ve read it. I loved that 150 page diversion part, I want to see a movie of that, it was so cool and different and like a maze, but movies. I’m so glad you loved it and am impressed you read it in 3 days! It took me at least a month. That was before I did audio, so it was all physical and I read some books in between. That book has definitely stuck with me all these years so it’s a 5 star for sure. I get the complaints about the ending, but it’s not just a mystery, it’s like an epic story, I don’t see how else it could have ended.

If you were to do this again maybe adding all the time for the week and then keeping a running timer would be better so you could in theory have days off or heavier and lighter days

It's been some time since I read Nightfilm, but I remember feeling a little underwhelmed by the ending, but loved it otherwise. Neverworld Wake is a YA novel. It was okay. I didn't love the writing as much as in Nightfilm.

@libraryofkaris 5 ай бұрын

i'm a millenial and i disliked how to kill your family too 😂 i gave it the same rating as you and had the exact same opinions. i don't mind an unlikable character but being inside her head the whole time and hearing all her opinions became INSUFFERABLE. i think listening to the audiobook made it more intense. i thought the ending was SUCH a cop out as well it was very annoying.

@chelsey8737 5 ай бұрын

I think the true challenge is to swap screen time so you don't use your phone for that amount of time or anywhere near it but you can still use it obviously for necessary things. In reality it seems like people who do this end up still using their screens for very long amounts of time just not at their usual time of day. Often, they all stay up later to stay on their phones or will be on their phone while watching movies, etc.
