    I love the way you review books! it seems like you have a solid grasp on every novel you talk about and how effortlessly you talk about the book without giving away makes me want to listen you more! I think you are one of the hidden gems in book-tube community and I can't wait to see your channel grow day by day! Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for the animal warnings! I like to be prepared if I'm going to go into a book with that in it.

      Same! I'm so glad I had a warning, too, before reading this. Luckily, it's not very graphic or detailed, but sadly, still very present.

    Just finished and wow so sad!! Thanks for the analysis too still digesting this but really liked it. And can I ask, what is that Overlook hotel miniature on your shelf??

    • @violetprynne

      It's a miniature by the company Cat's Meow. It's sold exclusively at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. But Cat's Meow made all of the other miniatures on my bookshelf as well. They're such a cute company.

    Your review is getting me excited to read this! My copy came in the mail today. 😁
    I dnf’d my first Catriona Ward novel a few years ago so am really interested to find out how her writing has developed.

    I was looking forward to this one! Saw you and Working Man Reads were on this and it looked good!

    • @violetprynne

      I really enjoyed this one. It's very different from both traditional horror and traditional thrillers, but still great.

    Sundial was a really good book. I enjoyed it more than I did The Last House on Needless Street. Good review.

    • @violetprynne
      @violetprynne  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! And yeah, I agree. Definitely loved it more than Needless Street.

    I just got All Hallows by Christopher Golden it looks so good!! Have you read it?

    I plan on reading this book next 😀 right now I am reading Dead Silence. I was the same when it came to Needless Street, I guessed the twist early on and so it wasn't quite as enjoyable a read as it probably would have been otherwise.

    • @violetprynne
      @violetprynne  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I hope you love it!!! This one is definitely super twisty, but I couldn't figure it out at all!

    👍 For me, to give a book five stars I would have to compare them all to The Lord of the Rings, which is the best book I've ever read. He took a really long time to write that book or books. I had to read way too many books going to college for 8 years so I'm not going to deal with abuse to animals or women, so I won't be reading this one. 😸 If there's a lot of plot holes I probably would have stuck to my lower rating, but you know, everyone has their own viewpoints on everything. 🙂 I appreciate listening to your review, thank you.

    • @violetprynne

      I try not to compare books I read to other books when it comes to ratings, unless it's coming of age horror or works by the same author. Usually my ratings are based simply on how much I enjoyed reading the story. I wouldn't ever want to compare a comedy to an intense drama because the latter would probably be more objectively refined, but if I enjoyed both equally, why not give them the same rating based on my enjoyment?
      Also, I, too, am a huge Lord of the Rings fan! :D
