A millennial discovers the ACOTAR series while trying to read 7 books in a single month.
Hi! Hope you're doing well! This is a very different video from my usual topics but I wanted to document my thoughts as I attempted to meet my monthly reading goal for September 2024 - 7 books.
I am also super glad that I did because it allowed me to discover an incredible series - "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J Maas - I seriously must have been living under a rock; how am I discovering this series only now!
I love books and reading and the opportunity to talk about both. I hope you enjoy :)
P.S. - I still will talk about beauty and wellness on my channel; books are an extension of wellness in my book - pun very much intended :-P
Books Mentioned:
1. Shooting Martha by David Thewlis
2. A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J Maas
3. A Court of Mist and Fury - Sarah J Maas
4. A Court of Wings and Ruin - Sarah J Maas
5. A Court of Frost and Starlight - Sarah J Maas
6. A Court of Silver Flames - Sarah J Maas
7. Wild Strawberries - Angela Thirkell

    • @mashantha
      @mashantha 10 днів тому

      Yeah most of the pinks here kind of wash me out no? I do think it is also my fault, I bought a lot of these on sale early on - so I think my shade selection is at fault here too. 🥲 The Pat McGrath website has a lot of shades (30+) so I am sure there may be more colours that are better suited. Some which I find really beautiful are: Flesh 3, Nocturnal Armour, Elson, Sedition, etc. In case there are any colour categories you are interested in, I could explore the latest shades and suggest some which may be brown-skin friendly based on the pics online?
