What I read in a week 📚🥾🫶| reading vlog and an accidental book haul

Love Tin man so much!! I hope you enjoy it…

[@anneroy4560]

I like short stories ... precise pieces of work & good to have a slender volume of them in ones handbag as you never know when you might have a few minutes to read. Aside from reviews for some periodicals it was the only form my favourite writer Katherine Mansfield used.

Right I'm doing it, I'm cleaning out my borrowbox accounts... your digital video made me want to do it but now I actually have the time right this second... or as soon as the kettle's boiled at least 😂

[@bethmw28]

Oh no... there's more than I thought 😂😂😂

@@bethmw28 omg buddy I am so proud of you, you got this 💪💪

@@hannahlosttheplot quick pass over my lists and I've got doreen from 777 (quite a satisfying number though...) down to 453. Time to do some research 😂😂

@@bethmw28 oh that's very impressive!

I’ve just read Neon Roses and There, There too. Loved Neon Roses. I think I agree with you about There, There. I also lost track of motivations. I also really struggled with the dialogue which ended up being quite distracting. I thought it was better than average in the end. Really liked what it was doing and saying just struggled a little with the delivery but think that was a me problem 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing sounds like we're in a similar place with There, There! It's a book I'll always recommend despite not being a favourite of mine, because I can see that it's excellent.

I just bought a copy of headshot!! im super excited to get to it

[@hannahlosttheplot]

@@backtoreads it's such a good concept! Let me know your thoughts when you've read it!

Oddly enough I recently read headshot, really liked.it, devoured it in fact, but it hasn't stayed with me as much as I expected, still remember bits of it if I think about it but it doesn't appear/pop into my head. I also recently read ti amo, which is beautifully written, the first page, the writing 💔 Because I'm behind on KZbin but been commenting on insta, I have a feeling I have already told you that tin man is a wonderful book that I really enjoyed and loved, not read any other winman yet though. Currently reading mirror and the light I have it in paperback, but still too chunky for reading easily so.....reading the ebook. I've been reading the trilogy this year and not in time with the mantle crawlalong on footnotes and tangents, but determined to read by the end of the year. I also listened to true grit this year, donna tart did do a great job of narrating and getting the feel for Mattie's personality BUT i think for me it needs to be an eyeball read first or not and ear one as i kept drifting and not listening, might have just been wrong time for me to listen though.

@@jillybeanh67 oh that's interesting re True Grit because I often find that with some audiobooks but I really didn't struggle with this one. Maybe my 19year old Donna Tartt fangirl took over and made sure I wouldn't miss anything?? I did Simon's war and peace re-read last year and loved that because it was a re-read but I don't think I can go that slowly when I'm reading for the first time. I read Wolf Hall about three years ago and loved it but I think I'm going to have to re-read before I dig into book 2. I've considered the audiobook of it but I just don't think I'll pick up what I need to pick up from it. So maybe a christmas Wolf Hall re-read is on the cards.. You did tell me about Tin Man but you can't tell me stuff too many times, I have an actual colander for a brain!

Aww i like it again. Nice hair ❤
