I like to read and write words on pages (I also like to talk...a lot. It's an issue)
Annihilation was the WORST adaptation and you won’t convince me otherwise
The movie Annihilation was a hate letter in the form of a movie. I want my $4 and 2 hours of my life back.

I actually liked (not loved) the movie. But after seeing how passionate you are about the book, I'll definitely check it out. I would be REALLY curious to know how you feel about Dune the book vs the two movies. Now that's a comparison I have strong opinions on 🙂
Ooh I’ve never watched or read Dune
@@geenahreads Dune's an all time classic. I recommend it if you're in the mood for a novel with epic worldbuilding. It blends philosophy, religion, mythology, ecology, politics, and psychedelic mind expansion. Even though it's considered sci-fi, I'd say it straddles the line with fantasy. If you decide to give it a chance, I suggest reading the first book before you watch the movies.
Oof I did not even know this was a book. I just thought it was a bad movie.
I mean you’re not wrong about it being a bad movie
yes! i totally understand the love for watching the movie before reading the books! I always hear disappointment from those who read before watching since movie adaptations usually miss/change plot points for the sake of the movie. But I love visualizing the characters, the settings, and movies help give that blueprint. After watching a movie adaptation, reading the book gives me more insight into the story and characters, rather than losing, I gain more enjoyment and content!!
No Country for Old Men by Cormack McCarthy has an great movie adaptation...not sure the book is your cup of tea, but both are definitely worth a look.
I’ll take a look at it for sure!
@@geenahreads Hope you like it!
I hated the Ella Enchanted movie but adored the book.
There’s a book??
@@geenahreads it was my favorite book as a kid 😩 I always imagined it in the style of A Little Princess (movie) but they went weird with it.
Harry Potter plsss
Your wish is my command
If he was just making one film, he should have cut ghost bird completely out and focused on Gloria & Saul. With the psychologist leading the expedition. Could have included the bar scene and those scenes with them talking on the rocks were the best the trilogy had to offer. That's how I would have done it at least.
Garland annihilated Annihilation. Impressive.
never watched the book or movie but I'm gonna watch this video les go
Let me know if you also want your $4 and 2 hours back after watching the movie 😊
sometimes hate watching is the best watching 😆
When I watched interviews with the director who I do like from ex Machina and civil war. It sounded like he just picked and choose what he wanted to add and barley cared what fans of the book wanted
This is the stuff that upsets me when it comes to adaptations. I understand wanting to make the movie you want but what about the fans?? WHAT ABOUT US?!
If you’re watching on anything but a computer there’s a chance the audio is *slightly* off. I don’t know why it’s like that and I tried to fix it but I’m no IT so…
Reading and rotting in bed are classics. Such as having an existential crisis.
I can’t write without a decent amount of plotting done
what games do you play :)
Mostly Valorant! :)
I vividly remember watching Annihilation and I kept being poked in the ribs with how on the nose the movie was. Then, in the nighttime scene in the guard house two characters are having a yap and they just say the theme of the movie out loud and I just detached. The movie makers didn't trust the audience to be intelligent for a second x)
You should definitely read the maze runner books! Theyre great 👍
I love Annihilation (the movie) so much and have the book sitting unread on my shelf. This kinda makes me glad I saw the movie first lol
@@z_lup I fear you will not like the video I’m uploading Thursday or Friday if you liked the movie haha (but definitely one of those cases where seeing the movie first and then reading the book was probably better for your sanity)
@@geenahreads D: well if anything, this has motivated me to dust off the book to see how heinous the crime is
First! New subscriber btw ❤
Welcome!! So glad you’re here 🤍
❤😊@@geenahreads
I love your vlogs, they motivate me so much! Im trying to stop being such a perfectionist when it comes to my first draft, but I sometimes feel like everything I write is just garbage compared to the books on the shelf. Like cringe after cringe lol. Its great to see a vlog as realistic as this, tysm! <33 Good luck with your book!!
Man i am writing my first book ever and I seriously don't know how to start I just have a rough idea (which is a mess) of it. 😩😞
Which app do you use to write a novel?
“Today I have some sticky notes, a Marker, and a fucking dream.” Is so real
what app do you use please?
Hi! If you're looking for any book recs, I totally recommend All Of Us Villains by Christine Lynn Herman & Amanda Foody. I feel like it's not talked about enough even though I really liked it :). Love your channel!
Use the course to write ✍️ a novel Then use the same website to search for an editor 📝 And then publish the work on a self publishing platform like Amazon or Barnes and Noble’s 😊
I need your determination to my damn books.
Por que los libros no ha traido un mundo mejor? una razon , es porque es sabiduria humana, pero hay un libro que contiene sabiduria de Dios, nos da esperanza de un futuro mejor
What is your debut novel going to be about, Gina?
I love and hate this question because I currently fail to speak about this book without spoiling everything 😂 but in short, it’s a fantasy book where I’m trying to primarily focus on the question: How much bad can someone do before they’re no longer redeemable?
@@geenahreads Sorry I asked
Your website looks fantastic ❤
Thank you! My friend did an amazing job 🤍
Congrats on the author website!!!! I need to get on your level. I used to have one myself, but I stopped paying for the domain and now someone else owns it 😭😭😭
Oof not them stealing your domain! Offer them a crisp high five and a bag of chips to get it back.
@@geenahreads That just might do the trick tbh
I love seeing videos like these. Is like I'm part of a cool club or something. Where all members are as crazy as me. We invent worlds. That's just crazy. Awesome video :)
Awesome another vid, love your sass and your beautiful hair!
🤍🤍
I don't think I have enough words to describe how much I liked you website I was literally impressed with the phrase you wrote in there. I'm dying for your book to come out😭💗
Ahh this is so kind 🥹🤍 Thank you for taking the time to look at the website and I also can’t wait for my book to come out haha
I watched your other videos about you writing your book or just writing yesterday (7/28/24). I started doing my Outline for MY BOOK I’m doing outline of Chapter 13 right now
Omg! Have so much fun!! Can’t wait for your book to be done
omg my obsession with Love Island USA has been unhealthy this summer - would love to hear your thoughts on the finale 😂 - also all I need for an outing is an outlet haha Congrats on making headway in your word count!!! 🖤
Oh don’t even get me started! I do NOT like Aaron so I’m glad he didn’t make it to the finale. I don’t think Kendall and Nicole will last. But the big 3 being top 3?? That’s everything I wanted and I was SO happy that Kordell and Serena won. I love them
@@geenahreads the screams I scrumpt during casa - those boys had me stressed!!!! I do not like Aaron at all lol but SO GLAD that Kordell and Serena won - I have been rooting for them since day 1!!! and the powerpuff girls being the top 3 was beautiful. Also love JaNa and Keennnnyyy 😂
No matter how chaotic, how minuscule progress will remain progress.
hope youre having a good day Gina, thanks for taking the time to upload
🤍
De todos los problemas que hay en el mundo, cual de ellos quitarias
there has been countless moments where a rogue tear slips down my cheek and when i notice it i start balling because the book finally becomes real in my head
You’re not alone on having the well of Ascension lower than the first and the third I think most people feel the same way
THE NAME THING OH MY GOD!!!! completely relate what a nightmare ugh
Certified pantser here🙋 and I'm outlining for the first time in my life and I'm loving it. I just ignored the advice of every video I've watched on outlining and did my own thing😀. It's been working so well so far. Good luck on your journey to outlining.
Loved the middle child category - and will have to add some titles to my must-read list... 😅
How is powerless a dnf??? I love that series with my absolute heart and soul
Different strokes for different folks 🤷🏻♀️
Tears 😢
Let’s hope Pam misses this vid
Let’s be honest, she’d probably be honored to have a category 😂
Me, on the edge of my seat (even tho I can barely get myself to read): 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
I live laugh loved this
I love the DNF category so freaking much! Yesssss
