Tuesday witth Morie is one of my favorite books of all time , so I was really excited when I saw the cover pop up . I found your commentary to be interesting cause it got me to think about an ole fav in a new light
if you’re looking for another book relating to grief can i recommend “they’re going to love you” by meg howrey? i picked it up randomly this year and it’s unexpectedly become my favourite book like i am telling every single person i speak to to read it lol, it’s honestly amazing but i haven’t seen anyone talking about it! the way it explores grief and the feelings of regret when someone you have a strained relationship with becomes ill was just so emotionally devastating
I read the morrie book several years ago when I was in a healing place from basically a lot of crap and I had cognitive issues so reading complicated things didnt work. It came into my life when I was half giving up, half wanting to get my life back. The cooky wizard helped me back❤ I think u need to be in a certain headspace for that book. I'm not sure I'd be receptive for it now if I read it the first time now. It will always have a special place in my heart for that time in my life
@@pandalynn7716 agree i think a lot of books hit differently whilst you’re going through things, maybe i picked this but at the wrong time 💔 still love that cooky wizard tho lol
I’m reading Wicked now. I already knew it was completely different than the musical because my daughter has read it. So far I would also give it 3 stars. I tried watching the series Sharp Objects but gave up after a couple of episodes as it was dragging…my library has the book so I may try it after your review.
October and November was all Dresden Files for me as folks on discord influenced me to give it a go and I did, all the way through in a big fat old binge read. It's been awhile since I read Wicked, but I think I did not continue the series as I decided I did not need more of the same but with different characters.
This my thing with the thriller I always always know the twist but I don't think this effect, the surprise is important but I guess the suspense is more important, I would love to read novel where you told from the first page who is the Psychopath and then tell me what happened for him to reach this point
I read the Year of Magical Thinking this summer and feel exactly the same as you do, such a shame because I was really interested in the topic. My reading month wasn't fantastic either, however, i did read one gem: The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende. Quite a heavy read but an interesting and well-developed story. Wasn't a fan of her other books, Violetta, so glad I did LOVE!!! this one.
@@jasmijnzielman i honestly don’t understand the unreal hype the book got in terms of grief, which yes is such a shame !! and ooo never heard of that book but it sound amazing, i’ll be sure to check it out 🥰
Love your posts. I was in a massive slump last month. I read 2 books. The storm of the century by Stephen King. It's a tv miniseries. The book,at least the copy I have is in tv script format. The second was the new Ruth Ware. One Perfect Couple. I really liked it. I like all her books. Now here in December I've broke the slump, I hope. 😅 I'm reading Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar. It is a fictional version of a true crime story. Really like it😊
@@MichelleP-t7o oooo quite a mixed bag of books !! thanks for telling me your reads 😁 i think i definitely need to find a 5 star book soon to snap out of this reading slump AHHH
Firstly- and by far most importantly: I hope that you’ve fully recovered from your surgery. You’ve certainly had a morbid reading month! We all confront mortality at some point and using literature to explore death & grief can be very insightful and helpful. Joan Didion is such a name-dropper! I’m glad you mentioned it because I’ve always considered her propensity to brag quite tiresome. Honestly, I don’t particularly enjoy her work outside of ‘ The white album’. Gillian Flynn is eerily talented in highlighting the dark side of modern life. The miniseries of ‘ Sharp Objects’ is very good but it certainly doesn’t shy away from the scenes of self-harm and I’m always reluctant to recommend it for that reason - it’s a harrowing watch at times. Her masterpiece, for me, is “ Gone Girl”- the film is also outstanding and she won an Oscar for adapting the screenplay. Reading slumps during the dark, cold winter months are the worst! Maybe it’s time to break out an old favourite? Great video, as always. Thank you!
@@jackreillygillic thank you so much, that really means a lot to me 💗 and yes i couldn’t believe how highly praised her book was when it just felt like an opportunity to brag 😩 sharp objects was a dark read, can’t imagine how roughy the tv show is to watch with all the self harm hmm
Love when your vids pop up! I get so frustrated with uncreative men writing "comedy" books that turn out misogynistic. This year i have only read 12% male authors for that reason lol
@@samspam1788 hehe thank you so much !! there are a lot of talented male writers out there, but agree, it’s a real shame when there’s implicit misogyny in books 💔
I was on the edge of my seat when u said tuesdays with morrie bc i feel i am the only one who hated it. Yes, yes yesss absolute cliché!! Just statements that are giving 13 year old facebook posts. I threw it across the room when i finished it lol. And you are right tho. it has nothing to do with you reading similar books.
The thing that happened to you with that comedian's book happened to me with Fran Lewobitz. She has a remakable brain and she's great at talking about whatever, but in book form the snappy sparkly wittiness is lost.
"I don't know why I get so freaked outby the passage of time but here we are" SO REAL.
I’m so glad you are safe and well after your surgery (:
@@chocolateoreo6489 thank you angel 💗

You should try reading the stormlight archive !!!!
Rereading some of your tried and true/favorite books can help you stay out of a reading slump❤❤❤

Totally agree with the year of magical thinking. Bragging so much, like wtf

"Sharp objects" is good, I first watched the series and then read the book, I think the show is amazing, book is ok :)
@@AndjelijaP i’m so excited to watch the show eeeek i may binge it over christmas
Half a star? What does it take for you to DNF a book?
i never DNF looool my mum didn't raise a quitter
