    I have a question, how many pages is your icewvoles copy? I have an English copy that was printed in the United states (its a paperback), and it looks super thin compared to yours! Infact, all of my elementals books look thin compared to yours .. my elementals icewolves book is 333 pages (with about 20 pages extra for a scorch dragons preview). But I just want to make sure im not missing pages or something!! Just find it interesting how my copies look so small compared to yours. (Also, nice video!! I love these books a ton, I read battle born in 2 days after it came out!! So good!! )

    I feel like I keep bracing myself for news that you've DNF'd a book before breathing a sigh of relief when it turns out your progress just stalled. 😂 Funnily enough, I've just got back into manga too! My Shonen Jump subscription went unused for about three years, so I'm catching up on where I left off with One Punch Man and My Hero Academia. The Frieren anime is on my to-watch list!

    I’m reading Powerless right now. I’m almost halfway through. I really liked most of the first half, but the banter is really starting to annoy me because it’s too much! It’s literally in the whole book. I didn’t mind it in the beginning, but now I’m getting tired of it. It’s just so immature and childish. I’m not sure if I should keep reading it. I love the world and the characters are decent.

  • @AnnaWebbUK

    It's good to see you DNF a book even if it's gifted. Forcing yourself to read a book immediately saps away any and all enjoyment for it. I've seen Powerless in quite a few shops and was curious. Thankfully I've noticed that if you don't like characters/prose, then there's a good chance that I simply won't either. I'm really happy to find a booktuber that matches my tastes quite well. And - as if to prove me right - What Moves the Dead was very... mid for me. I finished it. I had no thoughts about it overall. Very average. I've tried three different books from the same author (two this month for Halloween reads) and DNF'ed them all. The author is not for me. I read Mistborn Saga (1 and 2) and have thought about starting the Stormlight Archive. I really want to find a new series I can sink my teeth into. But the sheer volume of it is intimidating.

    • @becklebooks
      @becklebooks 10 днів тому

      At least you tried! Giving up on an author can be hard. As for Stormlight, I’d say go for it. They seem intimidating but the writing (as you’ve experienced!) is easily digestible! I selfishly want more Stormlight fans in the world. 😂

I'm almost done with this graphic novel: Witches of Brooklyn: Spell of a Time #4! Love these. I recently finished Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan and Bride by Ali Hazelwood *(both 5 stars). Loved these two vampire novels! Indian Burial Ground and Apprentice to the Villain I gave 3 stars to recently. Then I tried another graphic novel that was cute: Summer Vamp. Another two books I gave 5 stars to: Mother-daughter Murder Night and Love & Curse Making (Magical Dating Agency #1). 🤓

    Can't believe I was going to read Five Broken Blades, told you about it, returned it to the library unread, and you read it instead and actually liked it. It's like you read it on my behalf and my TBR thanks you for your sacrifice. 'Watch TV' huh???? What a great idea. 👀👀👀👀👀

      It’s like a real life plot twist where I read YOUR to be read pile. 😂 Lone Star is awaiting me. Don’t you worry.

    I don't know how close your library is, but I found it easier to reach my goal of daily walks by finding a destination I wanted to go to and it helped me actually go to that destination regularly rather than on a rare occasion. I also should add more actual reading to my habbits, I'm almost always doing audio books now because it's just so easy to add in to a commute or anything else your doing. Although it has meant that I'm now able to complete a Stormlight or Malazan book in just over a week by using only the audio book so maybe the trade off was worth it lol.

      Stormlight in a week? You’re a wizard. 👌🏻

    I felt the exact same way about N.K. Jemisin! Loved the Broken Earth series. Couldn't wait for The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms to be over. Then decided that I would try out The City We Became since it came AFTER the Broken Earth series. And it was even more of a slog for me. Just couldn't stand the writing or the story. Also, I came from the other direction with James Islington. Read The Will of the Many and I was like, "Yes, please! Love it!!" So I went straight to The Licanius Trilogy and...it just did not do it for me. Ended up reading all three books in the series but in starts and stops and by midway through the third book I was so bored and didn't care for the story at all. Just wanted it to be over.
