I love your interpretation of the Paul Mescal shorts! The Shaun Tan books is great, I also love The Arrival by him, which is a silent graphic novel. Hope you enjoy your trip 🤗
Bahaha I love food descriptions in books with medieval-ish settings too 🤣😅❤️. They always make me want to eat really plain foods as if they're suddenly wildly exotic - like plain crackers with slices of cheese or something 😅. Ooh your Scotland/Ireland trip sounds fab!! Hope it's amazing!
Hope you’re having a great vacation and maybe finding some book to bring back home with you! Also, I didn't know you're a graphic designer, so am I! I have a major in graphic design and a minor in illustration 😄
@@pastorytime2683 yes! I keep forgetting to get the cards to show them while filming, I’ll remember to show them when I do my wrap up! ❤️ My grandma actually took me to the movies to see Titanic when it came out haha, I think I was the only 7 year old there 😝. A random fun fact I always find amusing is that there was a big Mexican tv channel that showed titanic every year on Christmas. So random. 😅 Anyway if you’re ever up for three blockbuster-y hours, it’s really good! 😂
I don’t remember food descriptions in The Gallant, but I’m so intrigued by what you shared about Medieval food descriptions! Unless it’s Martin’s food descriptions, most Medieval ones I’ve come across have been dark, stale bread and hard cheese. And yes, ale to soften the bread. Usually characters are hungry enough that it may as well be a gourmet meal. 😂
@@Johanna_reads Really?? I always associate medieval fantasy with those meals haha. Maybe I’m just thinking of Rote? Or maybe because I don’t like grim dark 😝🤷♀️ Now I have to give it a thought.
@@marianamasbooks I'm not talking about grimdark, just fantasy in general. But you've read much more historical fiction and fantasy that I have not read!
@@Johanna_reads i was thinking the opposite! You’ve definitely read way more fantasy and historical fiction! I mostly read historical nonfiction. Anyway I’m still keeping my choice for the prompt haha, since it’s a personal association 😅 And I’ve been wanting to read The Gallant since you recommended it!

I love Shaun Tan's art!
@@mattkean1128 I’ve seen he has multiple books! The art in this one is definitely amazing, I’m excited to read the stories too 😍
I just read “Bisclavret” by Marie de France. It was quite good fun 💜
I’m so excited to see what shorties you pick up on your trip!
@@Bookchara yes! I’m excited for that one 🥳
Oh I read Rest is Resistance - didnt know there were cards too! Love your TBR! I've actually never watched The Titanic! 😬 Siân
