I have our universe too!! <3 the last one and the fish one sound so cool. Happy to have you back mars<<33
🗡
Lightfall is darling Nimona is great - the move is cool too Paul stamets is a shroom legend
We missed you too friend! $7 for the GOT book is crazy!! Mushrooms are fascinating! I need your thoughts once you read Mycelium Running 23:06 do what you can! We understand 🧡 ⚔

I am so sorry that you, your loved ones, and your community are suffering this atrocity I may not share your culture but as a human, I am appalled at what is going on in multiple parts of the world. There is no good reason for violence; violence is the opposite of reason. On a lighter note, it was wonderful to spend some time getting to know more about your life day to day you seem to approach the world with a contemplative mind a healthy curiosity, and uncommon grace. I think it would be an honor to know you in person. Thank you for letting me be a fly on your wall. I hope that with all the negative things that must be weighing on your soul, I can provide an external ego boost that might just tempt a smile to sneak out. You have my positive thoughts and appreciation.
loving a nonfic book but not being able to recall any of the details is a constant struggle for me
Awesome video I love to tomorrow 3 times
Yay! I am first! Finally, because I am your #1 fan! Thank you for this fun update. You have a great mind, a fun personality, a great look, and, of course, you are amazingly beautiful!
💀
🐰
8:00 are you sure this has a letter in it 4 times? lol I don’t see which one
hahah yeah it escaped me the first couple times too 😂 but it's N in: children, and, fighting, men
@@StarLitLibrary 😂 clearly I am blind!! Hahahaha I was like oh no you’re gonna read it and it won’t count! 🤣💀
5:12 I definitely recommend Elantris before the way of kings lol it’s a good taste into his more dense writing but in a more manageable size
I am very interested in the RPG aspect using real-time education. Brilliant! I am intrigued by your choice of character. Your book choices and recommendations have been spot on so far so of course I will be reading these as well. Thank you for being so awesome! Stay beautiful, be well.
back on the tube<3 the first two sound SO COOL. Lovely vid. Happy reading babes!!!!
Mars is back yay!! I was wondering when I was going to see you pop back up! waaaait... this readathon sounds so cool!! I have never heard of it Bunny mention 👀 I need your thoughts after! 👏👏 🐇
i'm baaack 🥰 its so fun!! there can seem like a lot of elements to follow along with but for the most part its just your own little journey. Bunny was definitely.....interesting 👀 I talk about it in the vlog i posted, and will have more thoughts to share in my wrap-up 💞
I really like your book suggestions too, most are new to me, & sound great - so thanks for that. Ahhh, I'm a big fan of bats too, such precious (& misunderstood) irreplaceable creatures.
I love your fun approach to book adventuring, very active & immersive, it is so contrary to my own approach, I find it very engaging. It's not for me (I'm way too socially awkward) but I will throughly enjoy following your bookish adventures. It's so brilliant seeing how wildly different are the approaches that people take when approaching similar tasks. Diversity is a treasure!
Goodreads keeps recommending nestlings to me so I’m interested to see what you think of it
me too! I hope there's good atmosphere and plot twists because a lot of horror i've tried has been letting me down😅
THE DEMON SLAYER MUG AT THE END 😍😍
12:05 as a fellow pysch degree holder it’s BECAUSE WE KNOW TOO MUCH 😂 I can hardly read thrillers because everyone is too predictable 😅 it’s why I love fantasy even though sometimes it’s predictable at least there’s magic 😂 I want to get into more horror too
Throne of glass in high school!? …. One sec while I check myself into an old folks home 😂
5:18 omg I cannot read something that doesn’t make me feel ANYTHING. I’ve been half sobbing through a book all week 😂 but I’m loving it. Whereas i read a book recently that I was soooo neutral on it was almost worse than if I hated it ☠️
TWoK was my least favorite Sanderson book (still gave it 4 stars) but I LOVE the series. It's a long read but I feel like it's worth it
Did you say shadow cat companion? I want to add to TBR but excessive cursing drives me nuts.
Do you use your psychology degree? I am in school for psychology and keep meeting people who don't use the degree😅 I didn't know all those Roald Dahl books were by the same person!
The psychological thriller recommendation that I have is Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. This book was one I couldn't put down and the ending really surprised me. There is also a show based off of the book on Netflix and I felt like it was really well done I LOVE horror but I'm not sure if I have a recommendation yet for what you're looking for. But I'll keep looking ❤ 🐦🗡
I listened to every heart a doorway many years ago, but I want to read it physically again because I think I just didn’t give it a fair chance. Great wrap up! 💕💕
I really want to read the wayward series!! I’m glad you enjoyed it (makes me want to get to it sooner!) Ayeee!! Welcome to the NetGalley club 😊 Im getting a lot of horror books from you and I wish I could give you some! But the ones I’ve read are not the best, plus I read a lot of Stephen king
🐦⬛
I think this is the first time I’ve seen Saga mentioned on booktube lol I love it!! I hope you passed your exams 🤍
This was the perfect space for book lovers 😆
👋
That was fun. Bright, fun, artistic and open-minded: along with the fact that you are completely adorable, I would call that the whole package! Stay awesome! Thanks for being!
ahh thank you! you're too kind😊😊
🤣 Cutie Patooties?! Nice. 🤣 You always have such great suggestions and inspirational thinking but that was a nice deep laugh session, thanks for that. 🤞
hahahaha i'm happy to entertain 😂🙇🏽
I hope when your exams are finished you get to have some fun and find sometime to relax and spoil yourself. Great vlog as per usual. Thank you.
thank you! i definitely did get to have a good time over summer, the time passed by too fast though
Have you ever considered the author Brian Lumley? He wrote the Necroscope series. It's a great long and intricate horror. A must read and a fresh take on supernatural powers. If you are into sequential books this is one of the greats. A long series, but intelligent and detailed with great character development. If you decide to read/listen to it I would love to know what you think of one of my favorite authors. If magical fantasy is more your taste I also enjoyed the cold fire trilogy by C.S. Friedman. She is just wonderful! 🐣🔪
i hadn't heard of either of them before but they sound really cool and i'll definitely see if they're are available in my libraries! thank you for the recommendations :)
I am fascinated; I very much enjoy listening to you. I am intrigued by your journey and keen observations. When I am taking a short break from work I can put on any of your vlog episodes and lay back in my chair and listen and smile. You are neet! Thank you for being unique.
i appreciate your kind words so much, thank you! i'm happy to hear you enjoy my videos :)
great to see you!!
i actually loved our wives under the sea. but i completely understand finding it too ambiguous. i think i was in the exact right mood when i read it, and really enjoyed reading all the theories after i finished 🦁
that's a good idea to read theories about it...might make my experience of the book feel more complete or maybe appreciate it more 😂
🦁
💚
I am also not a fan of ambiguous books which is why I didn’t like wives under the sea either
right!? some ambiguity can work for me, but it felt like a whole chunk of the book was missing for this one :/
I'm watching the entire video to appease the TH-cam Gods, but I'm actually just here to find the 5-star, cause LISTEN!!! I've been in search of and I'm tired of disappointment!
well if you wanna try epic underrated fantasy, the blood of the lion needs more readers for sure 🌟
@@StarLitLibrary Thanks a lot! I'm in a reading slump of note right now, and I'll take any recommendation I can trust! Side Note: I trust you now, cause I enjoyed Godkiller. This power you now possess comes with great responsibility. If Blood of the Lion hits, you're officially my Book-Influencer person! 🤪🫠😂
That thunderstorm was insane 🤯 I’ve had our wives under the sea on my tbr for so long because I was scared of being disappointed… looks like I might be. The blood of the lion sounds soooo interesting 😬
if you feel the same way about ambiguity, then yeah...maybe...though the story was still somewhat entertaining. it was so good! i need more people to read it 😭 !!!
YES!! someone who also enjoyed Godkiller lol I think you’re gonna love Sunbringer! I haven’t heard of the blood of the lion tho so thank you for putting it on my radar 🫡
why didnt people like it?? :') it was so fun! i definitely look forward to sunbringer. pleaseeee let me know if you do check it out!!! even if you hate it lol but i hope you dont
@@StarLitLibrary a handful of people had issues with the pacing and world building but I thought it was amazing for a debut lol and I don’t think I’ll hate it but if I do… you’ll be hearing from me 😂
Really enjoyed your quirky, energetic fun. I look forward to following your reading adventures. I love epic fantasy, but I'm addicted to poetry, especially contemporary poetry, and magic realism. Thanks for the bookish inspiration.
thank you so much, happy to have you following my adventures 🥰 i also love poetry! i used to write it since i was a kid. who are your favorite poets? i've always loved e.e. cummings and mary oliver
@@StarLitLibrary: I've made videos about my favourite poets. I have many. I certainly enjoy Cummings & Oliver, but there are so many really exciting young contemporary poets. I engage a lot with confessional poetry, so am very interested in poetry that responds deeply to issues around mental health. I am a suicide survivor, so find this sort of subject matter important. I guess I'm compelled to engage with this sort of stuff.
A belated welcome to BookTube! I can so relate with wanting to be friends with my favorite booktubers 😂 I get so much comfort watching their videos, that's why motivated me to start my own channel as well. Looking forward to hear your fantasy recommendations and to see if you give a try to romantasy!
thank you!!! welcome to you too! i hope you find some good recommendations :) not many romantasy's have caught my attention yet, but hopefully eventually i can find some i like
Hello! I'm new to booktube as well and excited to follow you and see all the books you recommend ☺
hii!! thank you, and welcome to you too! i hope you find some good recommendations and i'm excited to check out your content too!
@@StarLitLibrary thank you so much! 🥰
Saga!!! I love that graphic novel series! I’m so glad it came back from hiatus! The Way of Kings is one of my favourites! I recommend the audiobook. It really helps to get through those 1000 pages 😁
It's so good! especially love all the different character designs. is it still going or is the series complete? I would but the minimum wait time on Libby is 14 weeks 😭
