    That readathon sounds amazingly intense! No wonder you needed a break
    I have the Starless Sea on my shelf but haven't got round to it, heard a lot of mixed reviews so it has slipped down my tbr

      Yes I am only on book #2 for December… so tired! 😂. I really did love Starless Sea and it made sense when I was reading it… but afterward… not so much!!

    That sounds like such a creative readathon but it would have broken me! You did well! A Kind of Spark is one of my favourite middle grades!

      It was so good - did you see there is a prequel coming out based on Keedie?? 🙌🏻

    Wow! That is quite a readathon! Congrats for finishing it!
    Also, Jeannette Walls has admitted to, um, "enhancing" some of the things in The Glass Castle, so some things that are really hard to believe are probably that way for a reason.

      Ahhh that’s good to know… even if half of it is true though it’s pretty darn crazy!!!

    The parents in the Glass Castle made me rage.

      Seriously. I kept storming up to my husband every few chapters to tell him the new terrible thing that happened. I rarely talk to him about my reading but I had to vent!

    Wowza! That makes my heart race and my head hurts just hearing about it!
    Starless Sea is the only Morgenstern I’ve read and I literally looked at my friend when I finished and said “what did I just read? what even was the point?” It was not a 5🌟for me.
    Kind of Spark is a good one 🩵
    I’ve been told to read glass castle so often because I was very poor growing up. But I’ve never read it because I don’t want the anguish😅

      Ha yes it was chaos! So well planned but I was a mess… it burned me out so much that I had to pass on Reindeer Readathon! Yes “what did I just read” exactly for Starless Sea! But I loved it because pieces kept falling together randomly… With the stories and the books and the characters… it was making sense… but then it wasn’t!! 😂 Yeah I would probably skip Glass Castle if it would hit close to home. It was tough. There is a prequel to Kind of Spark coming out in April 💕

    Get a Clue Readathon broke all of our brains, I think! Thanks for hanging out with us in November, Talia. We loved having you and hope you join future readathons with us!❤️🖤

    Hi Talia. I had a great time buddy reading with you and Chattie. I didn't realize you had a channel and didn't mean to snub you by not mentioning you. I'm going to add you in the description for my wrap up.
    The Get a clue readathon sounds very similar to The Amazing Readathon where we were "racing across the world " Lots of fun but very hectic and too easy tofall behind!
    The Glass Castle is phenomenal and I'm glad you liked it. It's been years but I still remember her eating the butter (or margarine) because she was so hungry. Have you read Educated by Tara Westover? It's a similar memoir with terrible parents.

    • @BandanaBookmom
      @BandanaBookmom  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes!!! The butter eating! Ugh! 😭 I have read Educated - definitely a similar situation - for some reason this one hit me much harder! Lol no worries at all about the video - I forgot to tag both of you and had to do a late add! There are a lot of people to keep track of in the Booktube world! I had so much fun buddy reading with you - can’t wait for the prequel!!

    Just listening to this is giving me anxiety because I know I wouldn’t be able to keep up either. December has been so busy I haven’t had much time to read at all. It’s bothering me but it’s just impossible so I’m giving in and letting go and I’m ok with it. 😂 -Joe

      Thanks for this Joe! I’ve been feeling a bit down of my lack of reading in December but the books will still be there in January right????

      Haha it really was the most well thought out, planned, and executed Readathon ever!! You crushed it and my brain was just collateral damage. 😜
