So I found out about last year's hockey romance booktok drama

So... I found out about last year's hockey drama between Booktok influencer, Kierra Lewis, and the Seattle Krakens hockey team. One thing I forgot to mention is the author, Emily Rath, made a statement to the team to stop creating booktok content in order to protect the players as they were not prepared to cater to the audience they were making videos for.

johnny just annoys me, his voice in my head as i'm reading is infuriating so i skim it purely to get him to ..Shut..Up..
except the letters from his mum, that was really interesting
Currently, MS Word is $179.99 to own your copy, but you have to allow MS to spy on your work through the cloud. Or get the monthly rate to use MS Word like Google Docs... I got WPS Writing app for free which does the same thing as MS Word. But some features are pay-walled by Premium.
I use NovelAi to randomly generate the lore, names, and locations. Because that would take me forever to think up. Plus my names would sound childish, dumb, or boring. I just re-generate the text if it repeats, not on topic, or too dumb.
It sounds like you have short-term memory loss.
“Her name is misery but it is me who is truly in misery” killed me 😂😂😂
I am about to watch this right now and I’m so excited so I had to comment because I LOVE THIS FREAKIN BOOK
I'm glad you're excited!!! I hope my commentary on it doesn't rub anyone the wrong way 😅 haha I definitely had lots of questions!! But I can see why lots of people love it ❤️
Yes! Been waiting for this for MONTHS 🎉 Amazing video!
Thank you!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Literally no interest in this book, but i was so invested in this video tf
literally this is how I analyze and diagnose books
I feel like this book is not meant to be thought about while reading 😭
FIRST <3
Omg hiiiiii ❤❤❤❤
The way you describe this could be said for the Bible lol Suspend belief, nothing makes sense, the author makes no mistakes, leaves you thinking about it forever etc
12:41 I feel like I can't do it lol. I'm not even native in english (I have a good level but I'm definitely not fluent) yet I took the book in English. And now you're saying that it's incredibly hard to read...... I feel like it won't work lmao. Unless the language+vocabulary in itself isn't part of the hardships you're talking about. 20:02 now you're speaking my language
Campfire is my favorite software
I'm finally deciding to read this beast, but it seems that there are tons of different ways to read it. It's making me dizzy trying to figure out how I should go about this. I bought the hardcover version and have thought about putting it in my purse for self defense! 😅
Very cool! I’ve done this before but only for characters, not plot! You said this was planning on being a series, but I can’t find any more?
So did you ever read it again?
This felt like bands in the 70s trying to come up with conceptual albums. Its novel and interesting but are the songs good? Not really. This was definitely not for me.
Super useful. Just what I was looking for. Thank you so much! ❤
Thanks for taking the time to make this review. I have a few thoughts... The whole "trigger warning' thing is a bit ridiculous. There are always going to be things in the world that make someone uncomfortable. You can't nerf everything for everyone. Sometimes you just have to be uncomfortable, and you'd be surprised how inspiration and growth can arise. This younger generation really needs some thicker skin. Johnny is absolutely one of, if not the best part of this book. He's a poet, and unabashedly masculine. Try not to let the post modernest "toxic masculinity" garbage get in the way of you embracing such a well written dynamic character that is so similar to all of us just for the sake of virtue signaling. This book is not difficult to read, and not the mind bender everyone makes it out to be. It's just a book, like any other book, but written in a very creative way. People really don't need "advice" on how to read it other than start at the beginning and just read it.
Hey guy great opinion piece. Glad opinions exist 👍🏽
Thanks for the review. Watched a few and was still on the fence about buying it, but after watching this one, decided it'd be worth it. From what I've heard so far (from the reviews), and briefly read, the book feels like an ode to the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. I'd recommend the short story collection "Labyrinths". There's a story about a coin that causes people to become obsessed with it, and induces insomnia. And there's another about a secret society that creates a fictional country that begins to take over reality. And finally, there's a story about the labyrinth in Crete, which has been described as a "literary puzzle". Interestingly, Borges became blind as does a character in the HOL. Anyway, there's a recent edition with an introduction by William Gibson that I'd recommend. Liked.
I appreciate the guide though I'm also deeply offended you don't know who Charlie Kelly is 😂
5 star book❤❤❤❤
1: You *need* a physical copy of the book for the full experience. 2: POE's second album, 'Haunted', is a companion piece made for the book by the author's sister, and enhances the overall trip. 3: At your own discretion, being in an altered state of mind can also add to the fun.
Great video, thanks much!
Everything's good but I have a question 🙂 in the first story Fumiko could have called Goro! It would have been less risky : )
What !! U recommend reading 1. Zampano's Dissertation on the Navidson Record & 2. Johnny Truant's narration. But you totally Left out : 3. Pelafina's letters The letters are so.. So.. Important. They are reason for this Book's existence itself !!
Good review. I am blind so visually organization is not my strength. Do you know of asoftware that has a simple interface and screen reader friendly?
Reedsy
I really enjoyed Johnny's parts. It's a nice break from the dry academic style that some of the Navidson Record has. Also, don't be discouraged, it's not an easy read, but it's not as dense as it seems. Take away the formatting on the text and the index and you have maybe 50% or less of what would otherwise be around 700 pages. Also, this book has pictures and that's just awesome. I never considered reading it other than in a conventional way, reading the foot notes as well along the way. It's definitely doable.
You would get more drama if you kept the reversed card instead of flipping them right side up ;)
Please don't set up the expectation that readers won't understand everything because you didn't, it takes work, active participation, creativity and multiple reads, but everything is in the pages and can be taken in as a complete narrative with no unanswered queries 🙂
Such a shame I found it’s just impossible to get The unfortunates
What a lovely trip! I always love going to Maastricht, because it feels like I've gone abroad in my own country
I just finished this book, what a treat, the author is super talented. Yes 5 star. All the themes explored was amazing .
I trust google as far as i can push a freight train.
great it Helps!
I I would really like to know the ISBN, please.
Huh, I found it really enjoyable, not hard to read at all, and I'm not smart. Maybe the more comfortable you are with being confused the easier ti will be to read :P
wild that you said “sticky notes all over the wall” because my dining room wall is currently covered in sticky notes for my novel 😅
woah, those Shakespeare editions are so beautiful!! And the bookstore looks so nice, I'd love to visit it too one day. A charming city, looks so cozy.
Right?? You'd love it there !
Such a cool little city. Awesome bookstore and vlog!
It was amazing! Thank you ❤️
Glad to know theres a Strat for reading house of leaves
Such a cute city. I'd love to see someplace like that someday.
It was lovely ❤️ I hope you can visit!
I read this book right after it came out. If you want another layer. Listen to his sister’s song Haunted - by Poe. Anne Decatur Danielewski. This won’t make sense unless you’ve read the book.
This is an amazing suggestion! I heard a bit about this before. Super cool!
Omg is revenge the short story collection by Yoko ogawa???!!! I thought I saw a clip of it.
Yes!!! Hugo said it was amazing
I am 300 pages in . It is brilliant . I have cried laughed felt anxious and fear .
I read Lake Lore recently and I loved it. One of the Main characters has ADHD and the other is Dyslexic
