Great decision to pause Parable of the Sower, it would not have made you any happier! I agree that it was gripping right from the start, but incredibly depressing. I read it this summer because of the 2024 setting. The second book in the duology was even more depressing, although I liked that one better. Don’t ask. Keep reading the books that make your heart feel full! 💖 I read aloud sometimes too, although mostly to keep my concentration 😅 Loved watching this! The yapping was the best part.
It was actually wild because I was enjoying it a lot (in the sense that it was engaging, not that it was making me HAPPY hahah) but it's like my mind was warring with itself, I'd go "Ooh! I should continue Parable of the Sower!" and then i would be overcome with this feeling of dread and misery like my own body was telling me "Now is NOT the time babe" so i thought I better listen to it hahah "Keep reading books that make your heart feel full!" now THOSE are words to live by 💖💖💖 you're too kind, tolerating my incessant yapping is no small feat!! 😛🙌🏻💖
NOOO not a reading slump 😭 But I'm bias because now that meant that you made more content for me to watch LOL. You're always gorgeous 😗 I agree 100% mangas!! I separate manga reading slumps from novels. No idea why until you mentioned because they're so easily digestible to just get in and out quickly. 8:25 WHAT GAME WAS THAT? It looked like Stardew but it's not!!! 👀👀 Definitely adding The Saint of Steel series onto my TBR now because I want something easy and fast to digest sometimes. Also Arcane!!! I haven't watched it yet, waiting for the full season to be out before I watch it because I am a BINGER. EXCUSE ME? LMAOOO, the first chapter for One For My Enemy. I was literally doing my graphics for another video while listening to you, and I whipped my head over, scrolled the video backwards to make sure I heard it right. 💀😂 "[...] well hunged." I CAN'T. LMAO. I'm also invested. "Not a work of non-fiction." 😬🥴 I didn't want that at all. No, no no no. Wait I gotta read it now though because I want to see 😭I'm also gagged. WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT. The synopsis you have for Parable of the Sower actually has me shook. I might go read it just because of your commentary. But it's so depressing that the future is so predictable because of humanity's greed and idiocracy 🥴 I'm glad you decided to pause it though because it does sound intense. I think I have a lot of rage so many I'll read it lol. One for My Enemy ✍✍ Nothing new, I'm writing down all your recs. I'm going to need you to drop that playlist for when I get around to reading it though 👀👀 NOT EMBARASSING THOUGH, I read through the characters whenever it's a HYPED moment. 🤩
HAHA honestly that's reasonable, im the same any excuse to watch more of YOUR content is a circumstance ill be happy about! and nooo omg you should see me cringing as i edit vlog clips when im just out of bed like I CANT LET THEM SEE ME LIKE THIS but i have to get used to it hahah YES exactly like i could be in a month-long reading slump and my wrap up would just be 'reading manga for a month' because it doesn't apply to that hahah IT'S CALLED 'FIELDS OF MISTRIA' AND I BOUGHT IT LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO AND I ALREADY HAVE LIKE 120 HOURS IN IT it is in early access but just had its first HUGE content update two days ago and it is GENUINELY everything i want in a game, like it took everything i love about stardew, harvest moon, animal crossing, and other great games and merged them and added their own unique stuff (also with the character splash art being in sailor moon-esque style) and i genuinely think (when finished) this game might be my favourite farming sim of all time. Like i love stardew, but this game has AMAZING character dialogue and like you can talk to all the characters MULTIPLE times a day and they meet up in the tavern for weekly D&D games and if you come each week you see the game's plot continue from the previous week like it is SO well done i could talk about this game for literal hours!!! im playing it right now!!! Oh absolutely The Saint of Steel series will be your best friend!!! the audiobook narrator is excellent and i binge them all on audio they are so fun and cozy and SO easily readable i love them! I JUST FINISHED THE SECOND LOT OF THREE VIDIEOS (SO ONLY THREE LEFT TO BE RELEASED UNTIL ARCANE IS DONE FOREVER!!) and omg....the TEARS i cried, it is so so so good AHHHH! NO LITERALLY that's what I ALSO DID and i was the one READING it like i was like wait HUH let's run that back, WHAT!? it was so funny! I actually really do recommend parable of the sower, like it had me GRIPPED from the very first page, i just need a breather before i get back into it because im not ready AHAHAH NO FOR REAL i literally havent returned the library book yet because i keep re-reading my favourite parts!!! like genuinely this might be my favourite of the year, it just GOT me. i dont wanna over-hype it but it shattered me and put me back together like nothing else ive read this year!!
Dystopian Hellscape 🔥😂....America is a place of chaos 🥲so accurate! Octavia E. Butler hits with her books🎤 Not the 2024.... Are we in a simulation or something right now 🥴 I'm proud of you for stepping away for your mental health. Some times it's not the right time to read certain books 💕
AHHAAH you have to laugh because otherwise you'll cry 🥲🥲🥲 she really snapped and did the damn thing with this book, im so excited to actually FINISH it one day (hopefully in the new year) but im just not ready hahah FR LIKE I SAW THAT AND WAS LIKE ????? excuse me!?? thank you, it was honestly an internal struggle but i feel like i would end up not enjoying the book as much as i COULD if i push through it now. i want to do it justice and read it when i can handle it!💕💕
@@love.lauren... You're definitely not wrong 🤣😂 Just the way she knew what she was doing years before we even got here....I ordered another book of hers from Bookoutlet (haul will probably be in December since I have something fun planned). but oh boy am I intrigued but also nervous to read it. I totally understand, I feel like you'll revisit it at some point, but definitely don't push yourself to do so! 💕
Queen I watched this forever ago and am coming back to comment. 🙂↕ 16:21 love that come back though 🤣 I am so scared to read Parable of the Sower but queen I am scared lol. Too real 28:28 real. I get it! drop the playlist perhaps 35:55 don't worry fellow fangirlie I understand this level of obsession 🙏🤣
you are me and i am you HAHAHAH she had both he and I gagged, so she queen-ed out there truly!!! SCARINESS!! like it was getting so good but my brain was like 'stop.' my mental health is (for once) coming first!! mayhaps i will....when she is a little fuller hehehe okay thank goodness this is a safe space filled with fellow fangirls because im literally out here exposing myself AHAHAH

YES exactly like i could be in a month-long reading slump and my wrap up would just be 'reading manga for a month' because it doesn't apply to that hahah
