I hope the book is better than the movie for Queen of the Damned

❤

Nice

05:00 I think it's more the lack of internal monologue. Jennifer Lawrence played true to the book that Katniss keeps everything internal most of the time.

Nice review!! I'm so excited to hear your thoughts at the Heroes of Olympus series too

What were your tabs labeled as?

Nice

I re-read the series a few months ago for the first time in maybe a decade, and it's crazy how good they still are as an adult. I too am a Katniss x Peeta stan and also sobbed while re-reading Mockingjay 😭 I still need to read the Ballad prequel, and now another prequel set around the second quarter quell was just announced which I'm SO excited for! Hunger Games fans are getting fed (no pun intended) all these years later 🙌

Don't want you like a best friend has been on my tbr for a minute but I just got it and im so excited!! you have such good taste!

I prefer whatch reviews after reading the books actually... to see what the person is talking about, what they think of the storie than to know a new book...

i read them as they came out and reread them during the pandemic and was utterly happy that they were as good as i remembered maybe even better bc truly there so much i know about the world now that made it more real and heartbreaking. truly amazing books

I just want to say that your obs about the capitol citizens being ok with children murder and being terrified with the death of a unborn baby is on point. It's so frustrating when a dystrophy feels just like our reality..

Interesting question! It's always fascinating to explore evolving attitudes toward book reviews. Thanks for sparking this thought-provoking conversation!

Can I just recommend the last binding trilogy by Freya Marsk, to like everyone (but specifically people who like queer historical romance, with added fantasy)

I also notice this tendency towards recs/reactions instead of reviews especially in short form content but I feel like the book award side of booktube still does book review videos.

Yea I agree w/ this a lot - shorts / tik tok has made ppl brain rot & not just phrases but also w/ attention spans . So sometimes ppl don’t even READ the recommended books , but want to . They litterally can’t tho bc they want onto the next onto the next Ahh stuff (Also not saying I ain’t a victim of this sometimes lmao , I ain’t no saint)

Was so excited to watch this then I read the description 😔

I read these books a little bit before I found out about the first movie coming out. November/December 2011. I had no spoilers for the trilogy, so imagine finishing Mockingjay just as I'm supposed to go the a Christmas party at my sister's new husband's family. Like how can I act like I'm happy about Christmas when i literally just finished Mockingjay less than an hour ago 😭😭😭

first off i love your hair!! just had to get that out of the way lmao. i TOTALLY agree with you that there should be a novella (i for one want a full book exploring their past as well) for the parents in Don’t Want You Like A Best Friend!!! the little snippets we got of their past and present played with my heart so much wnwnskdkkd YOU DEF NEED TO READ THE NEXT DOOMSDAY BOOK!!! i gave the first one 3 stars but i gave A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel 5! it’s so great and LUKE ALL GROWN UP and how it ties into the first one is so amazing, it’s one of my favs of the year so far! i hope you enjoy if/when you ever get to it!!! you mentioned you’ve read other KJ Charles books but if you haven’t already read The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting you should! it’s what sparked my interest in queer historical romance & i’ve reread it twice this year so far lmao -- i’m new to the genre and i remember you mentioned Cat Sebastian but i also wanna rec You Should Be So Lucky by her!! it just came out recently and is amazing! one of my favs of the year as well lol

already looking to download this books great video btw ♡

love love love this video! Queer historical romances are top tier 🥰

A crime was committed when creating the cover for A Rulebook for Restless Rouges

been wanting to get glass straws for a while now but i feel like i just don't really need them because i have metal straws already.... and i'm so scared i might break the glass ones one day LOL

your looking really beautiful.😍

The Absinthe Underground edition 😍😍😍 I have never heard of this book but it is now on my radar. But wait, lesbian YA fantasy?! Now I'm sold

I read these in middle school, and then again recently, but I never made the connection on the Capitols opinion on expecting mothers vs mothers with children! Definitely art reflecting life there

This is such a cute video! I loooved The Folk of Air Trilogy I'm so glad you enjoyed this series too! We looove Jude

Omg that part you said about the activation energy in 6:22....... I feel so SEEN jksdhfksd I struggle so much with just getting myself to START reading because it's such an active/non-passive activity, so it's always just a matter of getting myself in the zone!

This video should so many views! This advice was really helpful to hear. I keep reading books based off what other people love but but then I’m dragging my feet through it. Also fast reading isn’t quality reading! Someone finally said it lol.

Wow, I just started reading again, I got a kindle like a week ago, and these tips are so helpful!! Thank you

the first one sounds great adding it to my TBR 😇

what a coincidence, i started the Belladonna audiobook a few days ago! and you're so right, the narrator is wonderful and her voices are SO distinct, it's incredible. and great video! i haven't seen anyone else recommending audiobooks like this

I've been wanting to listen to more audiobooks and these recommendations sound really great. I'm definitely going to have to check some of them out!

i don't read but you have a nice voice

dude i LOVE tbr prompts! as a mood reader sometimes i struggle to pick a book when im not in the mood for anything specific and the prompts make my life so much easier. i actually made a list of prompts to complete throughout the year and im gonna add some that you used in this video 😋

This is such a fun way of picking books to read! I hope you enjoy all the books Xx

thanks for the video i did love this series

I loved this review sm as a massive pjo fan!! It reminds me a lot of the same thoughts I had while reading the books for the first time

I was lowkey nervous to watch this because this series is SO near and dear to my heart and I love Rick as an author (I swear I reread the entire series every 1-2 years haha). Apollo was my first book crush LMAO. Nico's story hits me SO so hard - breaks my heart. So glad you enjoyed the series!! (Also side note those special editions are STUNNING!!)

The Song of Achilles toyally busted me out of my reading slump until Spotify emailed me saying I used up my audiobook hours for the month 🥲

you made it to my reccomeded and im so grateful tysm ur amazing

you had me at "seto kaiba energy" LMFAOOOO

Feb was such a bust for me reading wise as well, but march is off to a much better start LOL I love your recs, makes me want the silver under nightfall special edition myself hahaha 😂

Ooh let us know if Flowerheart is any good, that cover is beautiful. I can never set myself a monthly tbr 😭 I just let my heart guide me lol, but I also got my eye on By Any Other Name! And I really like this monthly reset format!

Have a good day ❤

I've been wanted to annotate my fiction books but had no idea how to do it. Thanks ❤ (and I love your hair, really cute)

yo nine books?! thats awesome, you started the year strong and with some very cool books! infinity alchemist and a dowry of blood are on my radar too. i only read some fiction and half the the adventure zone graphic novels lmao, but my fav read of january was O Meu Pé de Laranja Lima (My Sweet Orange Tree), by brazilian author josé mauro de vasconcelos. very short, sweet, but heartbreaking about a little boy, sadness and grief. i also read Slewfoot by brom, have you read it? i looved the vibes of that one, but kinda wanted it to be a bit scarier. Hope your february reads are even better!

Watching this to live through others buying books since I'm not allowing myself to at the moment! I haven't read Shadow and Bone yet but have been meaning to for the longest time.

You’re doin something right cause your channel was in my feed! Liked the video!!

Adding project Hail Mary to my TBR! Seems like something that may be up my alley 🥰 love your vids as always!!!
