@@helenclare3250 Thank you, me too 😊 RBC was lovely, and much better than I had expected. I’m not usually much for feel good stories, which I would say this is, but I still liked it a lot, so for me that’s a good grade! 😄 I’m glad you loved it! Little Rumours was good too, medium suspense I would say. I would love to know what you think of it if you get to it. It’s been so long since I read a good thriller so I’m lacking references a bit. Do you have any recs? I hope November will be good for you too!

@@ellenmadebookclub I enjoyed The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena and The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, back in the day. Neither are gritty, which is what I look for. I can't cope with gore and can't read that!

@ Thank you! That sounds good to me! 😊

@@Readingindarknesss Good to know! I’ve been wondering which thriller to get to next, maybe that one is up next. I forget to browse my own shelves sometimes!

@@Readingindarknesss It is multiple POV and it was just one of the voices that I found annoying, because I had too much of it I think, from Yellowface. You might still like it! Yeah let me know 😊

@@Readingindarknesss It’s such a hug if a book 🥰 October was the perfect time to read it too

Thank you and welcome to the channel! I'll check out your channel too :)

Thank you so much! 🥰 I'm very happy with my reading this month! Yes, RBC is worth the read! There is intrigue and a bit of a mystery to it and t was a lot more like a normal novel than I had thought, plus the octopus, which does add to it. Yeah, let me know if you give any of them a try! One of Our Own is only about 4 hours on audiobook. I would say they are suspense at least, I guess they would be thrillers, but they're not the most suspenseful ever, if that's what you're looking for. I'd say medium, kind of in the sense a true crime documentary is suspenseful, if that makes sense! I want to read more thrillers, let me know if you find a good one! 😄 I can't remember pov, I think Little Rumours was 1st, there were different voices reading the different chapters. One of Our was probably also 1st, as it was more enacted, and the woman was the narrator. I can't remember. I didn't have a problem with either of them though. Look forward to your rant, and maybe then I can decide if any of it was true for these! 😄 Beartown definitely has a LOT of characters, and you only get glimpses at a time, but it really works. You get in all their heads, which I loved. I couldn't stand the narration of Yellowface, I mean I did listen to the whole book, so it wasn't bad enough to make me DNF. Maybe it was just too much of the same. It wasn't her voice for me, it was just the constant tone of arrogance that got to me. But that's also how the book itself is, so... I get why it works for some people. I think Chelsea liked it! Try it out and see what you think ^^ I'm almost done with I who have never known men, but now I only have four days to get through One Dark Window, sooooo we'll see! Maybe if it reads super fast! I would really like to read What My Bones Know as well, it sounds very interesting. And heavy. I'm glad you liked it though! What thrillers have you read? PS Thank you 🥰💜

@@ashleybeckrreads_ Beartown will be perfect in November! Rewitched was lovely, very relatable and comforting, and a bit of stakes too 😊 Hope you’ll enjoy them both!

@@KellyLovesBooksandMovies Yes me too! It made sense for this story though, it wouldn’t have worked as well I don’t think, if there had been more of a hook at the start. It needed to be discovered as it went.

@@BookChatWithPat8668 No clunkers! 😄 That alone is cause for celebration! I was looking forward to Marcellus perspective, and I wouldn’t have minded having more of it in the story, but that was probably also because of expectations. I was more skeptical about there not being any plot, and there certainly is! I loved it too, it made me feel good 😊 Rewitched was really nice. Very relatable and very comforting and heartwarming. And funny too, she has a great sense of humor! Thank you for the encouragement 🥰

@@ellenmadebookclub I just feared that the Marcellus chapters were going to be kind of weird in an otherwise pretty realistic novel, but they weren't at all, and I loved his voice. I absolutely wept when I finished the book.

@@BookChatWithPat8668 Yes, they definitely could have been, but I agree that they weren't at all. They fit right in, and added a lot to the story as well I thought. It's a beautiful story and I got emotional too.

@@bookloverlaura I’m very pleased 😄 RBC was lovely, and a lot more pot than I was expecting, which was good! Yeah, it’s not perfect but I thought it gave some insight as well, and enough suspense for me. Could have been polished a bit more though 😊

Oh, iconic haha I'll take that, thank you 🥰 I have finished the third book as well now! I think it does stay consistent, so it was good entertainment, but not top top quality. I'm open to Dance of Thieves, remind me again in February! 😄 Yes, RBC is worth the read. There is intrigue and a bit of a mystery to it. It was a lot more like a normal novel than I had thought, plus the octopus, which does add to it. The audiobook was great as well! I'm so glad I'm not alone haha! I might have been a bit harsh in the video, but I feel like it's not just the narrator themselves either, it's the whole production of audiobooks. I'm like did they all hear this and think it was good?! Have they ever listened to an audiobook themselves? There could at least be an indication, like "dramatized" or "neutral", so you know what you're getting into. Some people have loved the narration of Yellowface, but I can't stand the constant blast combined with what sounds to me like condescension. Ugh. No. So annoying though, I really wanted to read the books! 😭

Mood reading worked so well! And then I immediately go and make the longest TBR for the following month! 😆 It's going alright, but can't say I'm flying through it so far. That's ok though, no pressure still! I'll find my balance eventually, 2027 or so. Thank you for saying that! It's such a good book. I get that, they are like a favorite meal you just want to have again! I have no regrets collecting his books so far. I can't wait to see your wrapup! 😄 Something to look forward to! Thank you for watching and joining the premiere! 🥰

@@Readingindarknesss Hi Paola! Thank you for commenting, I just popped by your channel and subscribed. I haven’t read A kind of spark, but that sounds like a very interesting story, I’ll look it up! I was kind of emotionally scarred from a witch trial story earlier this year, so I might not have the courage for it right now, but I find the topic fascinating as much as it is horrifying. Maybe I could handle a middle grade book about it though, that sounds a bit more safe 😊 Thank you for watching, is what I would usually say, but thank you for listening I guess, and for the recommendation! There’s another question for your q and a: do you ever feel excluded by the phrase “thank you for watching” or is it more weird of me to say “thanks for listening”? 😊

@ there’s a prequel called keedie! I really wanna read it but it’s not in braille or audio yet! So you can read it and then don’t tell me about it cause I’ll be jealous! Haha!

@@Readingindarknesss Ahh how annoying! Hope you don't have to wait too long for it!

@ it came out April 4 so… been a while. Tempted to buy the paperback and scan it and convert it to braille myself! But that involves tearing out pages and I don’t like doing that! It’s sacrilegious!!

@@Readingindarknesss Haha I would probably feel the same! That's cool that you can do that yourself though, I didn't know that. I would probably do that rather than wait though! 😄

Thank you! Me too! It's so easy to get caught up in things, so I need to remind myself 😊

Haha yeah I get that! Some genres just have that feel to them! 😊

I agree! Haha thank you for the confidence! 😂 I have my doubts, but I'll do my best! It is and isn't about hockey. I don't care about hockey at all but I still loved it. I'm so excited to get to One dark window, it's on top of the pile. It seems like a fun time! That's so true about prizes vs personal recs and reviews. I kind of think of prizes the same though, like I want to "get to know" a prize so that I know if I like what they like. Which ones most aligns with my taste. If I can find one that does, that's a good source of great recs! But it doesn't mean those are better than any other rec from anyone. Absolutely! There are so many people telling everyone else what to think and what's the right way of reading, and I just find it so exhausting! Like, leave me alone to enjoy whatever books I want! 😂 Let me know what your third pick will be if you decide on one 😊

@@ABookAffairByShay Oh cool! What kind of therapist? There are so many interesting books, I hope I can fit them all in! Thank you for watching 😊

@@ABookAffairByShay Hi Shay! Haha I’m glad you enjoyed 😂 I’m always drawn to the heavy topics whether I like it or not, but I’m trying to mix in som fun stuff too because mental health! I love the Birdeye cover too, and I find communes and things so intriguing, I’m not sure where it’s going yet, but I’ll let you know! The Naturals sounds so fun though! I hope you’ll enjoy it 😊

Thank you Cat! 🥰 The year has gone by fast! I'm feeling ready for a fresh start though, and I want to give it some thought for once. Are you doing this tag? 😊 No pressure!

@@ellenmadebookclubI think I will, yes 😊 it’s a fun one

Haha I do! I don't usually have more than two going, one physical and one audiobook, but I'm a bit all over the place! Enjoying myself though ^^ Birdeye is still interesting, I'll be sure to let you know what I think when I'm finished! Plans for making plans is where I excel most in life 😆

@@helenclare3250 Yes I like them too 😊 Thank you! And good luck to you too, sounds like it’s going well so far!

@ellenmadebookclub Thanks. So far, so good...

@@adarkcornerofthelibrary I know, it feels like the year flew by. Thank you! 🥰

Yes, I think I'll enjoy that one! I wasn't expecting it to come through so quickly, because it had several reservations, but I'm not mad about it 😊 I voted for Option 1 in your poll, but I also want to know what you think of the second book, I hope you get to both ^^ Or maybe that option wins! Haha yeah! I guess I don't gravitate towards anti-season books either, some books feel a bit wrong to read, but I'm not big on holiday-y books and I need some variety all year round I think. Plus, I had a dark summer!!! 😂 I haven't started on Us Against You yet, but looking forward to it! How are you liking it so far?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ellenmadebookclubso fun, always love when a popular book comes through quicker than expected!! I do love seasonal reading like I said but I’m not big on holiday/Christmas books, haha maybe I’ll do like 1-2 max so I feel you there… And I just finished Us Against You! I cried like a baby towards the end 😭😭😭 It was so good. I think I liked Beartown more for a couple reasons (mainly because it felt like a lot of recap in the first half and there was a lot of politics with the hockey team) but overall loved it and just feel so attached to these characters. Can’t wait for you to read it! 😍

@@LibrariesandLattes Oooh I'm excited about it now! I was already, but it felt a bit daunting, and I get stuck on wanting to film my discussion on Beartown before I start it. Because... confusion. But now I really want to get to it! Thanks for the motivation! I want to cry like a baby to, I guess! 😆

@@Maeve_Ever_Books Me too! 😊

That sounds like a very strong trio! I'm adding Betty to my want to read, hadn't heard of that one before. How are you liking it so far?

@ yes, they’re all 5star predictions, so really looking forward to reading them! I like Betty so far, heavy topics though, check for trigger warnings if needed! I‘m not as „close“ to the main character as I had thought I‘d be, she feels a bit distant, but maybe that’s a good thing with the things she goes through… btw, FINALLY starting Clytemnestra right this minute ☺️😂

@@nanana_naaaa They all had great ratings! I can imagine, the description of Betty sounded quite intense. I hope you will enjoy Clytemnestra! 😄 Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it eventually!

Yes, so great to reflect a bit before the year is over. And I feel like I've earned a badge now in my booktube journey, having done it! Definitely consider yourself tagged if you want to do it too! I also think my list is doable. December might be a bit of a catch all-month for me, finishing those half-read books (or 2% read in some cases...) and anything else that I've been meaning to get to. IF I'm in the mood for them, no pressure! 😊 I love that you're reading for pleasure and joy! Leonard and Hungry Paul sounds wonderful, I've just added that to my want to read as well. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. Haha oh no, are we going to have another edition of "scary spooky what's it Christmas" event? 😄

@@BookChatWithPat8668 I read Leonard and Hungry Paul earlier this year. I liked the insight in a quiet „uneventful“ life. But found it hard to rate, didn’t really know what to think of it in the end. Hope you enjoy!! ☺️

@ thank you. It’s a buddy read with Allen from Big Hard Books and Classics, and I’ve been looking forward to it. I’m very curious about the book.

@ ha ha!! No, just reviving the Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories around the fire in the Christmas season. 🎄🎅🏻

@@BookChatWithPat8668 I see! That sounds fun! You're braver than me, but that's old news! 😊

Oh fun! I haven't started it yet, but I've only got it for a couple of weeks so I will soon. I like the fact that it's only two books in the series/duology, that's a manageable amount for me! Three tops 😂 I look forward to seeing you do the tag!

@ yes me too! i’m not huge on a series so i like that this seems manageable

I did think of you when I found Animal madness, I figured you might like that one 😊 And Heart Berries and Uncomfortable Labels are two of the ones I’m most intrigued by as well, there’s so much to choose from!

Thank you! I think it’s a lovely tag too, look forward to hearing your answers if and when you get to it! 😊💜

Thank you Bonnie! 😊 There’s so much out there! And I think this event really opens up for a lot of perspectives and intersectionality, Cat did a great job. I look forward to that too 😊

Oh really, that’s so fun! I had never heard of her, but I saw snippets of interviews with her and her UA-cam videos, she seems like such a sweetheart on a mission! 😄 I agree, it’s such a good event, and there really are so many books relating to the topics. Understanding is a very good way to empathy and kindness, so I’m all for it. I’m so glad you found some interesting titles! And hopefully you can get to Chloe Hayden at some point too! 😊

😊

@@ReadbyFred Couldn’t agree more! Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and you’re very welcome to join the club! 😊

@@BookChatWithPat8668 Thank you Pat! It was really fun to browse books on these topics, there are so many good ones! 😊

@@ellenmadebookclub Really great list!

@@WildHeartsandWildflowers Hi Kim! Thank you so much 😊 I find the brain and psychology and all of that fascinating too, it’s mind boggling to me that it even works at all! I’m sorry to hear about your daughter, that must be hard for the both of you. Glad to hear there’s some stability though, and I hope for the best for her! It sounds like you are focusing on the good, that’s powerful too. Cat did such a good job putting this readathon together and I love her channel and her as a person, so it makes me happy to hear you found her channel through this too! She’s great!

I'm so glad you like them! Absolutely put them in the doc if you like! It was a lot of fun to browse these topics and put the lists together. There are so many more, but had to draw the line somewhere! 😆 If nothing else, we'll have a good starting point for next year! I hope you enjoy your travels! 💜😊

They all sound so interesting to me! What are you planning on reading? Or is there a video I should wait for? 😄

@@ellenmadebookclub I'm editing my november TBR right now which will post Sunday and I talk about them then but you've probably heard of most of them haha

@@adarkcornerofthelibrary Perfect! 😄

Love you too! 🥰 Happy weekend

Pat is very warm and welcoming to everyone, and I just find her to be such a good and inspiring person. Highly recommend binging her channel! 😄 This tag says a lot. I really hope you'll like Backman, I think you will. It's a bit slower, but it adds up over time, if that makes sense. Beartown was kind of intricate, a lot of characters and you only get a little at a time, but after a while there's a whole tapestry of this town and the people in it and everyone's reaction to the event in the story. I loved it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on A man called Ove! Did you watch the American version with Tom Hanks or the Swedish one? 😊 I'm so happy we've found each other too! You keep it real and fun, and you're so kind and supportive! 💜 Do the tag if you want, I would love to hear your answers if you do!

Thank you so much Suey! You bring me so much joy too, I'm always laughing watching your videos 💜

Thank you! Pat is so wonderful and welcoming, I hope you'll enjoy her channel. I love that edition too! 😊 I wanted to get it in English, but they only had that in hardback which I didn't want, but the cover of this one made up for it ^^

@@ellenmadebookclub its beautiful! i am definitely team paperback over hard cover

@@daniella-raye 100%

It's such a lovely tag! I look forward to hearing your version 😊 Yes, Bandit Queens was good, it's horrible and kind of fun at the same time!

Thank you! Definitely recommend Beartown, it's such a good book. I would say it's kind of intricate, but just go with it. I'm looking forward to the Yellow Wallpaper, everyone who has read it seems to have similar feelings about it. I hadn't heard of the Unfortunates either, that's the beauty of readathons I guess, make you go looking for new things! AS IF my TBR needed more books added to it haha!

@@LibrariesandLattes No pressure at all! 😊 I agree, the combination of humor and seriousness and insight into human behavior is really a special skill, and still make it an interesting story too! Thank you Chelsea! I always love your comments as well and I’m very grateful for our friendship! 💜

@@TheKatBite Thank you! It’s such a lovely tag! Consider yourself tagged too if you want to do it, I’m very happy to have come across your channel as well! BQ was great, I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

@@marginsofmarisa It is a very joyful tag! 😊 Feel free to do it too if you want! Thank you for saying that! I don’t know if it sounded self absorbed the way I said it, but I meant I enjoy the interactions and when people are happy! 😅 Beartown was a treat, slightly slow at first but then it gets rolling. Loved it! I’m on to the next one in November 😊
