    I loved your very critical analysis of the Atkinson. I quite liked it, but I don’t think I delve as deeply as you do. I loved the day trip to the garden centre for ornaments, by coincidence I hang out at Barton Grange while Lexi is at Myerscough it’s a lovely place and I also watch films at the Flowerbowl cinema next door. Has the red covered book you are reading been adapted for TV or am I mixing it up with something else. ❤xx

    One thing that imo really points to Kaladin ascending to Honor is how the Stormfather refers to him as "SON OF TANAVAST" Kaladin is alone is this distinction. Wheres everyone else is just "SON OF HONOR". Also as for who Shallan's mom is, one thing pointing to her being a Herald is the official artwork of the Herald (Chanarach) people theorize is her mother. You can see her in the end art of Rhythm of War, and she is a spitting image of Shallan.

    @DanielRed2 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    10:39 what you say there about Frodo, connecting him with Tolkien himself, that's something I've never really though about before, and really fascinating! Frodo being a well-to-do middle-aged gentleman isn't something the films could exactly pull off, especially with Elijah Wood being so young (18 or 19 when they were first shooting I think?). They made Sam older than Frodo, rather than in the book where Sam is much younger, and more often mentioned as Frodo's servant and the wide-eyed member of the group. I love LOTR so much, and Unfinished Tales is my favourite of the others, mainly due to the Second and Third Age material in there. Some of the most important ever Middle-earth info is in that book. Yes, the Silm is, without a doubt, difficult for anyone to get their head around....! I doubt I ever will 😅

    • @LunabirdBookclub
      @LunabirdBookclub 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, that's it - and I am very fond of Elijah Wood's Frodo too, and Sean Astin's Sam as well. They brought a lot of Sam and Frodo's excellent qualities to the screen. But it is fun to delve into those elements that didn't make the adaptation

    Great video 💖 Based on your descriptions I want to see a stop motion adaptation of Leaf by Niggle. Would it work as a non-verbal one or is the dialogue crucial to the plot?

    • @LunabirdBookclub
      @LunabirdBookclub 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think it would need dialogue but I could totally picture it as a stop motion! It would be a bit like those 70s aminations that look cute at first glance and then get unsettling and dark the longer it goes on.

      Very interesting, although I have never read any Tolkien. I enjoyed your description of his biography, and his love story, and if I was to read Tolkien it would definitely be the letters to Santa, I just love the concept of a father writing to his children and keeping it going for 22 years that’s passion. However, I do think you might have got your years muddled up at the beginning, not that it matters 🤣 xxxx

    Such a lot going on in this vlog. Birthday books and book shopping. What bliss. I did finish the Lost book shop but I felt as you did, that something wasn’t quite right. I also would have been drawn to the lucky dip bags and I felt you did quite well with the Kate Atkinson novel which I have read it is quite sad if I remember 😢 Politics on the Edge is a book title if you don’t already know by a cabinet minister, so the tote was probably left over from a book launch perhaps. Not that I’ve read it 🤣. Your birthday books look fab also I look forward to seeing how you get on with them all next month 😊❤xx

    Really glad you put a couple back on the shelf, and kind of cathartic to actually remove the book marks too. That book by Brandon S looks enormous, I don’t think I could even hold that to read, even if I wanted to. I liked the look of the LGBT+ books you showed for your friend.

    Wow the number of times I've missed, or nearly missed the train back from Manchester Victoria to Clitheroe... Usually I've been in the Arndale and was like 'yep it's ok I've got 10 minutes...' then just running for it 😆. Interesting how that copy you have there is titled 'The Wizard of Oz' where it's often called 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. I have a collection somewhere with all 15(!!) Oz stories yet I don't think I ever read beyond the first (I can never be sure though...). Don't know if you've seen the film 'Return to Oz' but I think that's based on a couple of the other books, and it's pretty messed up! 😅 I love it though.

    • @LunabirdBookclub

      I'm glad you can relate to missing a Victoria train 😆 For me it was a combination of pedestrain ways being closed, being absolutely hopeless at navigating, and still not being used to the ao being there. Gosh, I hadn't even clocked the title discrepancy, how odd. I'm assuming it's to make it more similar to the 30s film but idk. I don't think I've seen 'Return to Oz' but maybe I will one day.

The pottery painting looked like so much fun and they were all so different I couldn’t possibly choose one. For a book recommendation for you I would suggest The Familiars by Stacey Halls, it is historical fiction my favourite genre, and I suggest it because it is a little bit ‘magical, mystical’ and is set around the time of the Pendleton Witch trials, so you may enjoy it. Not sure if it is an audio book but I have a copy if you want a borrow. Xxxx

    If you're coming here after RRwRu August, I forgot that the back and forth we had about Bashere and Agelmar being the 'main saboteur' didn't make it into the final cut of the video BUT please know that in my reread of AMOL they are both tragic and make me want to tear my heart out of my chest. The scenes with Agelmar and Lan are destroying me and I hate them 😭😭😭

    Omg the slomo! 😂 I feel your pain! The first one sounded really good to me, and the 20000 one. The cover reminded me of Remarkably bright creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, which I haven’t read yet, but I imagine water is quite prominent in that! The other ones I that came to mind were Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and The wager by David Grann. Both great!

    CAT! I read a book years ago that would fit in here but i cant for the life of me remember what it was called. It was about a family of circus performers where the daughters would be the "mermaid" performance, and every second generation (or something) would end up drowning tragically. I think it follows three different eras, with the most modern one trying to figure it all out. If i remember ill post the title!

    I enjoyed watching this type of video and made note of a couple of your suggestions. I really enjoyed Once Upon a River and have been wanting to give it a re-read possibly this Winter. A few water based books I’ve enjoyed are:The Blue Salt Road by Joanne Harris, Mermaid Moon by Susann Cokal and although it’s a second book in a series-Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch(my fav of the series so far).

    I love the wheel of time books and was very excited for the show. I have enjoyed moments of the show but I’m scared they won’t have the scenes the book readers love. One of my favorite scenes from the books is when Mat defeats both galad and Gawyn after barely having been able to walk after dealing with the dagger. This didn’t happen in the show and even though he could still face and defeat them it seems like it lost some of its surprise. I don’t know if I’m making sense. I would love to see Dumai’s wells although in the last episode of season one they seemed to use the “Asha’man kill!” Moment. I’m trying to be optimistic for the show but I have my doubts. I did love the powerfully emotional moment when nynaeve ran through the arch holding her daughter. Very powerful.

    • @LunabirdBookclub
      @LunabirdBookclub 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You are making sense and I'm with you in that, I mourn the loss of Mat vs Galad&Gawyn. It might still be in the show, but it would have been epic to see so soon after Mat wakes up in TV. Just been to rewatch the Tarwin's Gap scene from S1 to compare them in my mind. Wow, I'd forgotten how off-script they went with the Fal Dara stuff 🤦🏻‍♀️. I think the "Asha'man kill!" moment will still work if we get Dumai's Wells (and we must do, it's such a big plot point in the books). The men are all working individually and attacking humans so it still has that sickeningly dark aspect to it instead of the looney-tunes 'splosions and lightning bolts in the S1 finale. Keep that optimism up my friend, we still get to see WoT on screen 🥳
