I love this app and I’m trying to figure out how to integrate my Goodreads and StoryGraph to it -I know waiting for the books via Libby is frustrating, but it’s based on how many copyrights your library system has.

    One of the reasons I bought 'The Pale Horse' is because it has saved at least 2 lives (one of them was a baby at the time). [Mini-spoiler ahead] This book mentions about the symptoms of thallium poisoning, and this detection is quite hard at the beginning in real life. Both the victims were saved when either the nurse or the doctor had read the book and saw the same symptoms in those victims.

    This was very funny. it's so fun to read bad reviews, I did something similar on my channel early on and I want to revisit the idea. On HP though, people looking for a deep complicated story should look elsewhere and I think take these books too seriously as these reviews show. Rowling has some fun ideas that make for a fun ride but fall apart thinking about it for more than 2 seconds. Particularly the later half as it becomes increasingly more political, and Rowling blatantly ignores the own structural critique she sets of up of broader wizard culture. I don't like it when people say "it's a kids book, don't think about it that much" because children deserve well thought out, quality literature like the rest of us. But also, most people just want to rag on HP because it's popular or because of Rowling's views. I don't like HP not because I don't like Rowling, I don't like HP because I developed media literacy, re-read the whole thing, and realized this series storytelling and Rowling's writing are far from what I remembered it being.

    It's Rowling like "bowling", but she's not the world's strongest advocate for addressing people by the name they prefer, so you'll get away with either. Related.... I probably wouldn't choose now to get **into** Harry Potter while so many of its fans are working to leave it behind.

  • @mild_meme

    One of the great things about rereading harry potter as an adult is being able to deconstruct it and critique with an adult lense. It was amazing first time round and it's a hoot to go back and see where it really worked and where it didn't. Some people just love to hate it because it's a popular series and, more importantly, a children's series. That being said, it's a series that grew with it's readers, starting out accessible to kids and becoming more like a YA series toward the end. Actual adults feel intimidated by the size of books 5-7, let alone kids 😅

  • @puirYorick
    @puirYorick Рік тому

    Sadly, my opinions of many of her books have become conflated with those of the varying TV and film adaptations and even audiobook portrayals over the decades. So many plot details were altered that I scarcely recall what some of the original stories were like. Christie herself would re-use some plot devices in later works. She even re-used many character names. I have enjoyed 4-50 From Paddington, The Body In The Library, At Bertram's Hotel; A Murder Is Announced, The ABC Murders, Murder On The Orient Express, as well as The Murder At The Vicarage despite each having at least one unlikely but necessary plot point. [Edited to remove an accidental time stamp - hopefully.] {{slight spoilers follow if you still mind about those}} Because of the dishonest narrator plot device, I have never re-read her celebrated great mystery, The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd. The Moving Finger dabbles in that same idea, although I still like that story well enough.

    • @BookAndBloom
      @BookAndBloom 11 місяців тому

      I haven't read 4-50 Paddington or At Bertram's Hotel, I'll check those out next time I pick up a mystery! I totally get what you mean with the different adaptations and plot alterations. What are your thoughts on the latest film adaptations? Do you like them or not a fan? I want to watch The Haunting in Venice, it looks interesting that they went in the direction of horror. I wasn't the biggest fan of Halloween Party so I figured the creative liberties might strengthen the story.

    • @puirYorick
      @puirYorick 11 місяців тому

      @@BookAndBloom Not a fan, TBH. Having attempted to watch Branagh's Orient Express film, I passed on any more offerings. David Suchet's Halloween Party adaptation failed to impress and I've never felt inclined to read the book or watch the episode again. The solution seemed like a lot of unlikely arm-waving just to bring a weird plot to a close. I accept that the Suchet series was trying to, as it were, *touch all the bases* by the year they reached Halloween Party. Mr. Branagh, on the other hand, must have had his own reasons for choosing a poor original story to adapt into whatever pastiche he was aiming for. Imagine, as a powerful international film producer you've done your Macbeth and your Hamlet so you choose to skip over Julius Caesar and produce TROILUS AND CRESSIDA... IN SPACE instead. This is what Branagh did according to the reviews I read. He took a particularly long and weak offering from a famous source and made a gratuitously weird version as the third production of his film series.

      @@BookAndBloom It's been several years, but I remember enjoying the Peter Ustinov Poirot films as a somewhat light interpretation of the detective. They were for television, but the Joan Hickson episodes of *4-50 From Paddington* and *At Bertram's Hotel* were nicely done. If you can find the Albert Finney version of *Murder On The Orient Express,* it's a good one to stand between what Branagh did and any of the rest.

A lot of BookTube (particularly smaller channels - bigger channels get sent books for review or can spend channel earnings on books, so they aren't so representative) is about the less-loved but still wonderful works that fly under the radar. I love Agatha Christie and I totally agree with you about what it means to be well-read.

    Welcome to Booktube! I am so glad that I came across your channel! You did such a good job with this introductory video of yours and I am really glad that I was able to get to know you and about your reading tastes, interests, and background. It is great to see that you are majoring in English and looking to become a writer. I, too, majored in English and enjoy and want to do something with my writing. I really admire the approach that you are taking and I love how you answered Question 4 with regard to reading being a more active hobby that requires more effort on the reader. I read a few of Agatha Christie's books and thought that what I have read was good. Ari is probably the greatest enthusiast of Agatha Christie on our channel, but we have a select few that are very enthusiastic about her books. We have covered quite a few of her books on our channel. You have to do what works best for you as far as creating content is concerned, but I am very happy to hear that you are very eager about starting this channel and I think you are going to do great things and go very far as a Booktuber! Your question that you would have for favorite Booktubers was very thought-provoking and I was thinking through what books had an impact on me, how, and why they did so. I really admire that you are an eclectic reader that is willing to give anything a chance. That makes me even more excited to see what you have in store. Don't worry about not having TikTok. I do not have a TikTok, either, or am I interested in getting one. I would consider my reading to be more "grandfatherly" where I am not necessarily reading what is popular, but this channel should be about what you want to read and what you want to film. Attracting viewers is going to come naturally. Thank you for sharing and I am very excited to see what you have in store! -Josh
