While I was frantically deleting clips before posting, I cut out me asking if you'd like more book related videos. So at the end, it sounds like I'm babbling about something I never even asked... 🙃 The question still stands, though. xx
@@scorpionnrising I do, but I forget to use it all the time, so it's updated sporadically. www.goodreads.com/user/show/27492598-veda I'm thinking I might try storygraph instead!
it's so refreshing to hear someone on youtube say they don't read fast or that they actively use the public library system! i think we'd all love to see more book content, especially the niche genres 🖤🖤
I'm reading the dream thieves, part 2 of the Raven cycle, by Maggie Stiefvater, it's kinda cool! And useless magic, the lyrics, poetry and sermon collection by Florence welch, which is also really nice 😊
Eckhart Tolle’s books are life-changing. Definitely takes an open and curious mind to take the journey with his teachings. So many layers to his books, you can read them over and over and gain some new insight every time.
I always read 1 fiction and 1 non fiction book at a time 😊 works fine for me. I also write down which book I finished when and if I liked loved or hated it and which number it is (started counting in 2019) and if I'll keep it. It's always cool to look back on that list and see how much I read when, which book took me how long, etc...
If you haven't done it already, could you maybe film a book shelf tour? Im always so curious about the books on your self when i see in in the background ☺️
God whenever there is a new video of Shannon I am so excited for all that she can contribute simply the best I loved the books that I represent in the video 🖤
Love Sally Rooney Veda!Will be excited to hear what you think… Yes please to more book videos ❤️ For the record I generally read a fiction book,a personal development book and a cook book at one time x
Ahh that's so cool you like Savannah Brown too!! I'm just as much of a culprit -- pre-ordered the second it was available and still haven't read it xD I even have the audiobook by Sav, but I haven't gotten around to listening. Trying to read more myself these days! I read a lot for my job (I'm an editor), so it's been tough to also read for pleasure. Currently vacillating between The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, Treasure Island, and Frankenstein :)
That’s such a varied TBR! Okay, so I’m currently reading The Sixth Extinction. It’s very good but quite harrowing. Surprisingly readable, even given the science. Due to the speed of climate change, I keep thinking dourly there’s probably a newer edition of it than the one I’m working on. The last couple books I’ve finished were fiction (Half A Soul, Spinning Silver, other books by the same authors). I don’t know that I’d recommend them (the Scholomance books in particular I really don’t like despite maybe having the author’s best protagonist), but I finished each book in like a day. Sometimes you want that fantasy/fairytale but just slightly off. Not like, Tim Burtonesque. Both Half A Soul and Uprooted are clearly inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle, for example. More like...inspired by fairytales rather than trying to readapt an old one. Half A Soul is very...hm. The setting is so interesting but the prose is iffy. I got into it because I was promised book 3 is going to be f/f and apparently the romance in book two is a fairy duke or something, which sounds fun. We Shall See. My strongest recommendation of the last year is definitely The Five. It’s maybe one of my favorite history books of all time, despite being largely speculative about it’s subjects. But the research and the empathy for the Ripper’s victims are very clear. It’s a phenomenal book, and it’s nice to see a book focused on the Victorian lowerclass that doesn’t feel like it’s looking down on them OR giving them virtues above real human beings. Especially women. Excellent book.
i watched the show Normal People first and then listened to the audio bc i didnt like the writing style physically, so i really do suggest doing that cause i was able to put faces to the names easier!
I unfortunately didn't enjoy sweetdark, maybe it didn't get to me because English is my third language and all the made up words and her wordplay made it hard for the words to sink in. Also I think the themes were hard to relate to... Would love to know what you think of it when you're done!
Excellent taste for books ;) I am currently interested in magic with the Dark Moon /Goddess, so i can suggest you Of Blood&Bones by Kate Freuler (it IS dark,so i am not quite sure if you'll like it). My last fantasy book was Uprooted by Naomi Novik -amazing story, characters, everything ! There is a second book from her, called Spinning Silver but i haven't read it yet.
I just started the video, but for your poor eye! Eating bananas always helps when I get any kind of twitching/muscle spasm. I can’t remember where I heard it, but I guess the potassium helps? It always seems to work for me, but maybe it’s a placebo lmao
I am currently reading The Artist Way by Julia Cameron (and working my way through it) and The Lost City of Z, since the pandemic hit I have been balancing two books at once and it works like a charm.
@@angelikabatwoman Its aggressive, intensive, and worth it. I'm on week 2 and already have begun working on new poems and finishing short stories :) I recommend it if you have the time and resources.
@@Madamemystery7 Interesting! I have it on my shelf too, but haven't yet started it. I think I am a bit intimidated by it. Glad to hear it is working for you - maybe this was the push I needed to get into it. :)
@@Jojo-cl6pe The intimidation is vital! Creativity is terrifying but thats like that quote about courage. Courage is not the absence of fear, its the acceptance of it and doing it anyway :) so yes this is your sign to do it.
@@vedacorvus I only say that because I had it happen to me last year and of course I freaked out not knowing what was wrong and was told to cut back. Once I cut back, it stopped!

I’d like to do that too! Do you use any online websites for tracking your reading?
@@vedacorvus nooo I'm old school and write it down in a notebook so I have no recommendation unfortunately!
If you’re a sci-fi fan, I 1,000,000% recommend Dune by Frank Herbert. It’s basically the sci-fi bible.
If you haven't done it already, could you maybe film a book shelf tour? Im always so curious about the books on your self when i see in in the background ☺️
Yes me too 😍😍😍
I’m also reading psychic witch! ☺️ and def would enjoy more tbr!

i could listen to you talk about books for hours❤️
I love all of your book videos 😀
I adore these videos so much Veda. Thank you! 🌚🍂
thank you for feeding us book related content, i'm always so curious about what you're reading! (plus it gives me new books to add to my TBR list...)
Normal people I read last year and it was one of the best of the year, my intuition is telling me you'll like it Veda 🖤🖤🖤
I started it today and love it so far!
I love Agnes Cecile! I also did a project on her for my high school art class 💜
Yeees books awesome! Also how beautiful is that blouse girl?! Did you thrift it? I love your style!
Great video Veda, this video definitely inspired/reminded me to read more this summer.
I hope you enjoy Normal People! I watched the series last year and it amazed me! Really brilliant series I think I might read the book too!

I would love more book related videos please. 💐😊 What was your 1st book you bought?
YES MORE BOOK VIDEOS pleaaaaaase !!!!
i watched the show Normal People first and then listened to the audio bc i didnt like the writing style physically, so i really do suggest doing that cause i was able to put faces to the names easier!
I am currently reading Dracul by Dacre Storker & J.D. Barker, so good cannot put it down.
You wishing us happy pride month just made my day, thank you ❤️

You might enjoy Danielle Dulsky's (witchy) books.
You're my favorite TH-camr
Aw thank you 🥺

exactlyyy about the multiple books at once. hence why i read 5-9 books at once haha. def makes you read faster, as im on my 98th book of the year🤷🏽♀️
😱 wow I want to be like you

I love your lipstick, were did you get it?
It’s NYX lip liner in Sandstorm
omg what is the name of the artwork behind you of the women cooking with the cauldron i’ve been looking for that work forever!
It’s called the Magic Circle by Waterhouse!
thank you so much!have a splendid day
Eye twitching can be that you are getting too much caffeine and need to cut back
Hmm i dont really have much caffeine. That’s interesting, though, I didn’t know that!
@@vedacorvus I only say that because I had it happen to me last year and of course I freaked out not knowing what was wrong and was told to cut back. Once I cut back, it stopped!
Kurt Vonnegut is definitely the best syfy writer ever 😊
the only female content creator I watch 🍂
How come?
Why?
@@Jojo-cl6pe I haven’t found resonance or gained any value from any other
I also have a twitching eye and it just means you’re stressing much lately. It’s soooo annoying lmao.

Have you read/watched it?
@@vedacorvus Both!
