    I enjoy whenever you post a new video, it's always a nice surprise :) Learning a new language is always cool and Korean isn't easy, good luck with your progress 📚💖 And I hope you find someone to talk to about it (I stopped my Turkish lessons because it was boring on my own but I should get back into it!) Ohhh, I forgot about that Ari and Dante sequel, thank you for that reminder! 🌈 Also now I want to check out the hour of glass series but I'm still somewhere in the middle with the shadowhunter books :') I hope you enjoy mr impossible, I just finished Call down the hawk and barely keeping myself from buying the sequel (I'm also on a book buying ban which worked so far with an exception). I'd think a lot of people have fun filming tags, so maybe that's something you could do :) I believe there are also shorter ones if you don't have the energy for the long questions.

    I would definitely watch if you decided to make a video discussing the ableist reviews/responses to Even If We Break. You are the only person I have seen talk about the novel on booktube, but I noticed the low goodreads average right away :/ Thank you for being willing to give in-depth trigger warnings for any of these books; I feel truly safe when I spend time watching your videos. My most recent favorite LGBTQ+ books are Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters and Cemetery Boys. I loved both for their nuanced and realistic portrayals of what it's like to be trans, although they are very different in every single other aspect including in the specifics of their trans characters.

      Thank you! I really do want to talk about it, bcos it’s one of the lowest rated books on goodreads and yet it’s better than half of the books I’ve read, so it’s definitely suspicious🙄 And that’s like one of the best comments I could receive, I always want this to be a safe space for people as it is for me, so thank you for telling me that🥺💕 I will definitely be adding that book to my tbr, thank you for the recommendation and for leaving such thoughtful comments💗

  • @playloudreviews1503
    @playloudreviews1503 3 роки тому

    Don’t know why I watched to the end but I did and I have some two cents to give :/ After reading Warrior Cats and watching Harry Potter go down the drain with The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts, I’ve come to despise books that seemingly never end. Disclaimer: I still call Riordan my favorite author because most of my own voice in writing was inspired by him, but I am embarrassed to tell people that as of late. The problem with Rick Riordan is that I love the first book of every series, but my interest soon peters out as Rick is trying to pump out content to give us an ending. The books were too long and there were so many filler chapters because there were so many POV characters that I skipped most of the chapters of the characters that weren’t attached to the overarching plot because I was so bored in the last three books of HoO. I hate how Percy and Annabeth are always players and we keep rehashing old cameos and character arcs. The Percy Jackson arc ended with The Last Olympian, and I wish it had stopped there. I loved Annabeth’s chapters in The Mark of Athena and The House of Hades, but otherwise, I was upset that the series didn’t follow Jason, Leo, and Piper (I didn’t like Frank and Hazel outside of The Son of Neptune). I wish The Lost Hero was a one-off POV that lead into Annabeth in The Mark of Athena and Percy/Annabeth in The House of Hades. I read the last three books for Percy, Annabeth, and Leo (favorite character ever), but I was disappointed by Leo’s rushed love interest that became irredeemable after The House of Hades and I can’t get myself to reread the books past the first two. The Last Olympian was such a good ending that I hate that he had to reopen the can of worms that was Percy and Annabeth’s character arcs. My favorite book is The Sword of Summer and I loved the first Trials of Apollo, but I was so disgusted by the succeeding books of Magnus Chase that I have stopped reading his new books. After looking back and reinterpreting old plots (think: The Son of Neptune washing out the River Styx, Nico in The Blood of Olympus having a crush on Percy), I got angry at the way he specifically inserted characters into the books to make them diverse. Alex is the name of the gender-fluid character if I’m remembering correctly, and I loved her character, but the Valkyrie being a hijabi Muslim didn’t make sense (I get her family and her struggle with finding out the Norse gods were real, but it doesn’t make sense that she still believes in her religion when she’s a freaking Valkyrie). I hate the pop culture references that were already dead by the time the books came out (looking at you, Heimdall), and it seems like he’s desperately grasping at straws to make the books relevant that they age so very poorly. Percy Jackson I loved because the humor was random. Lately, he prints his own money by rehashing characters, reinterpreting plots, specifically inserting diverse characters in unstrategic or unnatural introductions or places, and dating his books with specific and obvious pop culture references (the deaf and dumb elf Hearthstone is Pinball Wizard). But to make you less mad at me, here is my ranking of the books that I have read best to worst (I don’t remember Kane Chronicles lol): The Sword of Summer The Last Olympian The Lightning Thief The Lost Hero The Hidden Oracle The Son of Neptune The Battle of the Labyrinth The Titan’s Curse The Sea of Monsters The Mark of Athena The Hammer of Thor The House of Hades The Blood of Olympus

    Nice to see you again, I enjoyed this video! Haven't read any of these books, so I guess that's good for me :D I guess my least favourite book was 'Caraval' by Stephanie Garber. Sending you positive energy for the next months, I hope everything works out for you like you hope, take the time off you need 🌈
