Great video! I love the background 😊
Thank you!!
YESSSS mid year book tag!!!! I'm so glad you did it 🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much for the kind words, right back at you honestly 😭💖
Welp, I am certinaly bumping The Vanishing Half up my tbr, it's been on there for SO LONG and I've heard nothing but good things about it, I'm so excited for it now!!
I have heard the exact same things about Swordcatcher from almost everyone so it is not even really on my tbr anymore like based on the comments of people with great taste (such as yourself!!!) I just KNOW i won't love it.
RAWRRR I nearly went feral at the Theo x Winter mention you are SO right like i will fight to the death for them THEO WINTER GET BEHIND ME 🤺🤺🤺
That's it FINEEE I will watch/read Frieren I KNOW ITS GOOD LIKE I KNOW i just haven't been able to bring myself to start it but I WILL!! I'll have the tissues ready 🥺😭
As always such a good video my god i love your taste!!!! also your skin is absolutely glowing like forget book videos drop that skincare routine!! 😮😍
Thank you!! 🥰
I hope you love it!! The book and audiobook for The Vanishing Half is so good! The team did an amazing job of having people sound like actual people telling you their stories.
⚔️⚔️ I AM AN UNAPOLOGETIC THEOxWINTER STAN ⚔️⚔️
Even with how long Swordcatcher was.. I could not connect with the characters 💀. I probably should’ve DNF’d it but I was too far in hoping that the end might’ve had a wild plot twist 😫
Yesssss! The manga and anime are so good but mannnnnnnn something about anime Himmel makes me cry ON THE SPOT EVERYTIME. Like trying to get my husband to watch/read it while crying about Himmel does not do me any favors LOL
Thank you 😭 I recently switched to only washing my face at night and splashing my face with water in the morning before moisturizing and sunscreen. I think it has made a big difference with the eczema on my face!
@Chronicallyd that's exactly why I have been pushing myself to actually DNF more! I used to push through every single book because otherwise I felt unfinished but after a while of being put into reading slumps because of it I was like you know what? if it REALLY isn't for me I will gladly DNF or even just put it down and try again later if I think its something I'm maybe just not in the mood for!
Okay I'm moving Frieren up to the top for sure!! you have sold me!!
OMG NO WAY I literally did the exact same thing!!! I always cleansed in the morning and at night but I saw dermatologists on tiktok recommend just rinsing face with water in the morning and then doing your usual skincare routine and it has definitely improved my skin!!
Yes!!! I started working towards being okay with DNFing. Pushing myself to read books I’m not enjoying is a guaranteed way for me to be in a slump.
🥹 I hope you enjoy!!!
I’m acne prone so I was skeptical but it really has made a difference!! Simplifying my morning routine has helped too!
I was on my way to add the Vanishing Half onto my TBR only to find out I've already added it per your recommendation a while back 😂 I might pick it up as my literary pick for this month in audio format! Your top 3 picks are all so different, and I absolutely love that 😍 Bro, your whole discussion about sequel was me for my June monthly wrap up filming sesh 😂 I think it mangas/manhwas count as sequels because... I downloaded the web novel onto my kindle and MOST are 1500 pages long 💀 So ABSOLUTELY; that's on par with trilogies!! When I'm going to be doing my freak out tag, I'm going to be struggling with the same answer. I will be picking best sequel based on Manhwa for sure 😂😂
Iron Widow has been on my TBR because she's such a good advertiser on tiktok 😂 You enjoying it means I need to bump it up higher on my TBR. I had such a hard time enjoying *most* dark romances in book format? Idk, I think manhwa/manga just hits diff for the red flag boys. I so agree with you with Butcher & Blackbird; it was SO GOOD but unexpected??? I just expected it to be like unhinge and toxic per my experiences of dark romances.
I mean... if you want, I'll send you my spreadsheet 👀So you can kind of duplicate? But you'll definitely have to adjust for the newer months and all that jazz. I personally do every chapter ~3.5pages. Semi arbitrary semi not. But I also realize that in actual physical copies, 20chap comes out to closer to like 250-300 pages lol where as with mine, it's closer to 70 pages 😅If you wait until next year, I'll have a much more fully fledged set up 😂I also agree on just reading however you feel; I'm always going to do 52 books since it's just whatever 🤷♀I just know how fast I read, so 52 is something that I know I can easily accomplish.
Speaking of fictional crush... I apologize for @ing your boy Noah. I'm a changed woman because 💀I'll destroy this kingdom for you ✨The artwork got SO much better after like chapter 5.
Thank you 🥹! Vanishing Half’s audiobook is so good. The voices are great, but I really liked the flow of how the story was being told. It was so smoothhhhhh. I was having issues with Powerless’s audiobook because the male narrator sounded so stiff and clipped. When I was looking at my books for the sequel questions, I was like ????? This ain’t right LOL. I’m gonna count manga/manhwa as sequels going forward cause it makes more sense to!!
Iron Widow is definitely a fun read! I was a little worried that I would miss out on some stuff because I don’t know the history behind the historical characters, but it wasn’t an issue. RIGHT!?!! Idk is it the visuals that make me more okay with manga/manhwa read flags??? Tbf in Hooked, James is blonde and my bias is toxic dark haired edgy I’ll destroy the world for you leads LOL.
:000 thank you!! I’m using an excel file too! I’m at the point now that I need to put everything in 😭😭
🥹 I’m glad!!! GIRL Noah hits DIFFERENT as the story goes on. MY SWEET BOY ADAM TOO?!?! Ughhh thinking about it makes me wanna re-read.
@@Chronicallyd OK, so it's definitely going to be an audiobook read then! Audiobook reads are nice because I feel like I can get around to them better with more of a relaxed paced since Spotify has almost everything; and hoopla takes care of the rest 😂I wish there was like an audiobook review somewhere; I stopped listening to audiobooks purely because of my experience with The Cruel Prince 💀and then what happened w/ Lauren's experience for Five Broken Blades 😩But then I heard about your good experiences with Butcher&Blackbird!!
Yesss! I don't care what anyone says about mangas/manhwas, they are probably as not if not longer than most trilogies 💀👹
LMAOOOO, honestly... same 🥴I think the problem with more western ones is that they're just straight up toxic asf. I'm ok with my yandere men but.... the western ones have scenes of straight up abuse that makes me feel like it's stockholm 🙃
Just let me know, I'm like 90% always on discord 😂I'm not a professional excel/gsheet person by any means but it's just my preferred method of organizing.
I FINISHED IT, AND YES, ALL THE SIDE CHARACTERS ARE AHHHH! How is it possible ALL the side characters are so adorable (ESPECIALLY ADAM) but not Jason ShAmaLL(?) lol he was kind of annoying me and just got written off.
😭 it’s so hit or miss with audiobooks. There were so many that I just stopped cause I couldn’t deal with it! Tbf for great audiobook narrators, I listen to whatever they do because I like their voices so much. Idk if you tried a Deadly Education’s audiobooks but I enjoyed it! The narrator does a great job showing how the FL is so snappy and salty lol.
Right!?! It doesn’t take a lot for me to cheer for someone but something about Hooked and getting to see James’ perspective made me dislike him more 💀 I prefer to have the ML side too. Idk there is something so toxic it turns me off from the story. Bleghhh I’ll stick with manga/manhwas yanderes.
☺️ thank you! I’ll keep that in mind.
Yesssssss! I might re-read it soon because I NEED a couple I can cheer for🥹. I keep re-reading the same villains are destined to die chap (the dad one) and keep making myself depressed LOL
