After a very stressful week, this vlog is exactly what I needed it. :) and I also DNF books if I noticed that they might not be for me, I prefer to use my time in reading books that I actully enjoy
aww i’m glad these videos provide some form of solace 🤍 yay i’m glad i’m not the only one! life’s too short to keep reading books you’re not in the mood for 😅
Too little time to read "bad" books! 😂 I used to be OCD and finish, no matter what. Stephen King taught me that sometimes the slog is worth it. Now my TBR is longer than my lifespan. SMH 😅
OMG the Jade War edition from Broken Binding is GOURGEOUS!!! 😍😍😍 what a treat!! I want to read Sword of Kaigen and Blood Over Bright Haven so bad, hope to get to it next year! Thank you so much for this cozy reading vlog, I enjoyed it very much! 🧡
rightttt!!! 🥰🥰 i’m sooo excited for you to get to them both!! let us know in the book club chat when you’ve picked them up ✨ thanks for the support as always, kat! 🤍
Ahhhh so wonderful as always! Savored this vlog from beginning to end while taking breaks from a busy writing day! Excited to hear your thoughts on the next books!
Really love your vlogs✨ I play them when I’m crocheting or sewing….absolutely in awe❤️. Also I have the Mirror Visitor series….absolutely love the first book, currently on the second one 😋
awww that sounds so cozy! i'm glad they can keep you company while you do your cozy hobbies :) ahh i'm happy to hear that!! i cannot wait to continue with the series
Good evening from France! Your videos are so relaxing especially with these beautiful musics, my favorites 😊 Currently I m not into fantasy ( I didn’t manage to finish fourth wing) but very much into Cosy mysteries! Currently I m reading Oxford s murder teas books, the book 12 is located in the Scottish Highlands 😊
good afternoon from australia! :) i’m so glad you’re enjoy the videos 🤍 ooooh i don’t think i’ve read a cozy mystery before! i need to look these up 😍 they sound amazing!
thank you! i’m glad you like it 🥰 sometimes! depends on my mood as i’m reading the book :) i may annotate as i read or choose to do it after i’m finished!
If you ever get the chance you should read Lucy Undying: A Dracula Novel. Ugh I just read it. First with the audio book until my free hours on Spotify were up. It was so immersive with how they chose to narrate, adds a whole other level of understanding to the book. I then finished the ending with the physical book. Its a very beautiful queer retelling of specifically the bride Lucy Wesentra and her life post Dracula, exploring themes of love and loss, as well as bodily autonomy and chosing things for yourself. I adore the writing style and just the overall vibe with how the timelines within converge at the end. The twists were very unexpected but oh so good!!
New viewer here and I’m loving your vids 🥰 Can I ask, do you have a process to your annotating, like specific colour tabs and highlighters for different emotions/thoughts or are your tabs simply just for marking the pages you want to remember and you go with the highlighter colours you’re feeling work for that book??
heya!! welcome 🥹✨ i don’t actually! i play by ear and just annotate anything that draws my attention 🥰 i’ll have a full video explaining my annotation process very soon! :)
thank you so much! 🥰 i actually got it secondhand from a neighbor who was disposing it 😅 i don’t know where it’s originally from unfortunately :’) haha leia is always so needy 🥹
It is very gratifying to hear that your reading has been so exciting this year! The last couple of books I've read have been disappointments. One, I didn't even get to chapter 4! I do NOT understand why everyone said in the reviews that they loved the characters, and the plot was so good blahblahblah...😐 but opinions are good 😅 I did end up giving it a bad review, and then I read what you said and now I feel bad. Currently I am trying to get out of the spooky horror from Halloween season and went for something cozy so I am reading the Cider Mill Coven. It also is somewhat disappointing and I don't know if I will finish but before I do I am going to pick up another book to get the ick out of my reading mouth, so to speak! And I am listening to a Discovery of Witches on audio book but Spotify only has 15 hours and the book is 24 hours! 😢 I either have to wait or pay for a top up. Grrr. I don't want to pay for audible but...HMMPH!!! 😂 So impatient!!
ahhh now i need to know what those books are that you didn’t enjoy! 😆 i get curious hehe. i’m so sorry you haven’t been enjoying your last few reads! a bad review can be really awesome if it’s criticising what can be improved from a reader point of view!! ☺️ opinions are definitely good!! oooh i know the feeling! the urge to finish a book you started or going for a new one instead because you’re not enjoying your current one 🫣 and yes i get the struggle!!! ahhhh i always try to listen to audiobooks that are less than 15 hours on spotify so i’m not left on a cliffhanger 😂😂 only 6 days left until your hours are renewed again!! 🥹
You mention that annotating slows you down. As a reader that doesn't annotate, can you or your community explain why one annotates? Do you go back and only read those parts, upon a re-read? Or is there another reason? Another lovely video, thank you!
Personally,for non-fiction,I annotate when I want to remember scientific terms or important dates and names. For fiction,I annotate when I want to revisit a scene,kind of like skipping through the boring bits in a movie to get to the good part.
really great question! i annotate purely because it makes the reading experience more fun, plus it makes a book more enjoyable! :) yes it ends up taking longer for me to finish a book, but the journey is what matters more to me! i also do go back and read my annotations, yes! it reminds me of my journal :) it’s interesting to see what my past self have to say about certain things 🥰 definitely more of a memorabilia / nostalgic reason to annotate books!
I got my copy of "Blood Over Bright Heaven" and I still can't read it because I have a few bookish commitments that take priority. But you're making me want to forget my duties and start it regardless!!!! You're a bad influence my dear friend. ;)
i totally get it!!! but knowing how much you enjoyed the sword of kaigen, i’d say you’ll really like her new book 🥹🤍 i hope you get thru your other bookish commitments soon! 🫶🏼
