Interesting commentary on Perth...is the town like the office? I thought the countryside was beautiful but didn't get a rosy feeling from the business centre... 😂

Aww, I loved Lady's Guide--it was a total romp for me, with moments of real loveliness. Ah well, they all hit different, there's one out there for you!

I've always found it fascinating how wildly tastes vary amongst friend groups with books and other media. I am glad you did enjoy Mary Poppins, it was a slightly strange recommendation on my part, but its definitely one of those books that is such a critical piece of our pop culture, that it should be read. I love the idea of book to media vlog, and would happily lend you Rats of NIMH as you have already declined Watership Down!

Chocolate orange cosies! I am 100% there for those! Sounds like you had an amazing holiday.

I thought about procrastinating, but I didn't get round to it

Haha I relate to accidentally not recording

Haha, the moment you said you were deliberately not picking romance I was like...wait, this feels very targeted at me... They all sound fab - honestly can't pick what one I want to have a read of first!

Oooooops. Fit ye like...xxx

Plot device bingo lol. 😅

I love how you pitched this book. You've really captured the feeling of the book

AHAHAHAHA 🙈 "I'm a little annoyed at Rosika!" ....cut to me literally flinching in my kitchen on another continent! BUT IT IS A STANDALONE!!!! Technically..... I think he did write it to be a stand alone then said later he'd do a sequel. Plus is it my fault he wrote 1000000 books other than finishing what should definitely be a series..... Although hear me out , MAYBE by saying it can be read as a stand alone was me being "anti spoiler" for your benefit...... it's not a good defense, but it's the logical fallacy I'm standing on. I definitely thought I was gonna get yelled at harder. Ahahaha and Joel needing a good slap in the face is definitely part of the reading experience 🤣 Also I thought of another bookish pet peeve you may enjoy: when there is a cat featured on the cover and then no cat in the book at all." We're gonna call it cat fishing. I'm gonna make it happen. And yes screw fake stickers.

This is so fun! Thanks for doing the tag <3. It turned out so well without editing, great job! I know how hard it can be to have a video turn out well when you don't get to edit it

Also your reading spreadsheet gives me great joy

Peaked my interest for sure on Bride! Sounds Amazeballs! Oh I am so freaking happy you liked the Rithmatist! You said you were reading it and I audibly squealed, which was embarrassing because this is a public area 🤣 Wanting to slap Joel is 100% part of the plot, at least in my head it is! Lol this video made me incredibly hungry and I fully support hobbit eating days!

This video should have had a disclaimer warning folk that it would make them hungry! I am mesmerised by the pancakes - will defo need to give that a shot. And intrigued on Bride, I've kept away from paranormal romance for a while after getting bored of the same tropes, it sounds a bit refreshingly different...

Oh dear, the titles are backwards, it might help to either flip on video or write out in description to make them easier to look up! Anyway, nice to meet you and I've got lots of good romance on deck for February! 💗

AHH I could not agree with you more! So many bangers on this list! Fangirl, all things Ali Hazelwood, Jane Eyre, the Flatshare! SO MANY BANGERS!! Adding literally oodles to the romance TBR from this list! Most excited for Soulless, A Little Something Different, Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and From Lukov. You are single handedly steering me right back into reading romance! P.S. that is the most gorgeous copy of Fangirl I that has ever blessed my eyes, so thank you for sharing it!

You are so pretty so nice

Hi Amy.

So nice

You are so gorgeous so beautiful

*Promo sm*

Can definitely see a theme with your non fiction books! Its always a strange thing to hear a local landmark called out - perhaps when the better weather returns we can explore the 5 Sisters and that will motivate you to push on with that book!

Ahahaha omg I appreciated the spoiler alert, I gasped, went “yay!”and then went awwwwww. It was a roller coaster of emotions 😂😅. Lol I’ll live, I want you to be in the mood for the Rithmatist! Everyone seems to love a secret society of irregular witches! Also there needs to be a word for the book purgatory that occurs when reads do not suitably overlap… I feel like it’s usually the end and beginnings of every month and I enter a book desert and read NOTHING aggressively.

wooohoo glad you posted!! keep it up

Yaaaayyyyy!!!!! Congratulations on the new job!!!!!! Being able to not be fried, have a little energy, and a kind of routine is AMAZING! I hope you love it! "the houdini of booktube" lol I love it, life balance first!! And 100% support your brain getting to puddle around and pick out whatever it likes to read, TBRs can be fun but are overrated. I feel like Sweden can take us, the Scandis seem highly organized.

Just found your channel. I have 351 books, only read about 15 technically. Just need read some of my copies. My tbr is big. Love video.

Having a consistent job schedule is HUGE! I''m so excited for you to have that nightly routine. As a former freelancer and odd-job worker, I get it! "Apparently we were at war with Sweden in this world" 😂 I am so team DNF. Life is too dang short to waste on books that don't spark joy. Oh I would not be able to deal if I had a series with different colors. I'm not even much of a bookshelf-obsessed, but everyone has lines . lol How do you feel when you're about to start crying in public. "Sad! B/c I'm about to start crying, obviously!" you kill me every time Amy!

Glad this means you can't judge me for Sarah J Maas. I swear I may eventually get past page 10 😂

See the movie called Montenegro

Fingers crossed on the interview 🙂 At the very least it will have given you the confidence boost for any future ones, you definitely deserved a win there. Dune - I had to stop about a third of the way through the book and watch the original movie (which completely freaked me out as a kid so I had never seen it all the way through) to get a handle on the politics. After that, I blitzed the book and thoroughly enjoyed - I think its best taken in several forms of media! RE: your books to buy problem - set up a wish list and share at Christmas/birthday, I'd always rather pick something up for someone that they've asked for than blindly guess! And then theres no guilt for adding to the collection...

Amen and hallelujah to LOTR extended edition, heehee that was how the husband got me over for our first date actually, perfection in film! Congrats on getting through the interview! It's such a stressful process, and i'm happy you made it through! As a fellow sufferer of the non standardized work hours, it makes it so hard to develop and stick to routines, which is bad because I find routines relaxing... since I am a dork. Excuse me while I am ridiculously impressed by DIY bobbins, I embroider (also) sporadically and have never through of doing that! My mom taught me in her attempts to make me a proper victorian lady, however as an adult I must say embroidering swear words is pure delight, much to my mother's dismay. Continuing on the stitching theme... Threads that Bind sounds SO FREAKING GOOD! I'm starting to realize maybe I don't 100% love greek retellings as much as I thought I did, I keep getting irritated by authors never changing up the story at all. Maybe it's my own dang fault for reading so much mythology so I just wanna shake the authors and go DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! Use the bones differently! I just read Fourth Wing! heehee it is a delightful romantasy romp even when it drove me nuts. Heehee I keep hearing really good things about You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight! Excuse the ridiculously long comment, but a lovely long video deserves a lovely long comment. P.S. the cakes are baked!

saved this delightfulness for when I was spending a morning test baking cakes in the kitchen, maximum delight. Also you had me at ice planet barbarians

I was really curious about How To Kill Your Family! lol and I know what you mean, I love a murderous woman, so I totally would have still been sympathizing with her. After listening to your review, I'm still a little conflicted, b/c I have a lot of books that I REALLY want to read before end of year. But maybe I'll pick this one up!

TRuly was not expecting a spaceship to come up in a book with ice and barbarians xDD. lol and downloading a language into your brain IS cheating!that being said, how do you do that, b/c I desperately need it right now, considering I'm traveling through South America Also you yelling, "Who is trying to phone me right now?!" was so funny! You were like, "I'm BUSY!" the audacity.

oh nooooo! food poisoning is indeed not fun!! I love your cat!! ☺

I need strong WALL-E energy coming out of an initially shocking exterior of the unnamed character from Hail Mary. “Jazz hands” 👐 so I think I’m with you as well actually in under the whispering door. Much slower than cerulean sea and did have highly redeemable wyverns with button hordes ❤️ I have to read imaginary corpse, I’ve been watching out for it everywhere but I think I’m just gonna have to buy it!

Heehee surprise spacecraft should definitely be an awesome trope! Lol loved the vlog!! “The F*** girl, noooo!!!” 😂😂😂 Missed your face and taking a nice late evening doing chores and binging your latest videos 🥰🥰🥰 and I hope there is a word in some language to describe the urgent state of needing to stay up too late to keep turning the page!

I take it you've watched the 1949 film kind heart's and coronets. Seeing as this book is almost exactly the same storyline

lol my jaw dropped when you Under The Whispering Door. but I actually agree with you. I liked the book, but I also think that a book about death and the afterlife will pretty easily hit people's emotions. It's kinda like how I cried like a baby watching The Good Place finale, but if you asked me what I thought of it, I'd say it was solidly just okay. I loved House in the Cerulean Sea tho! Truly a favorite for me personaly

I love that I haven't heard of most of these books before. Also that's really cool that you're like an emotive reader as I'm really not except romance and I'm like eeeee aha 😂😂😂

Yay!!! I’m so happy you did the tag! This warmed my heart just like the Christmas-Saures 🥰 Yaaaasss to Ali Hazelwood and the 🧀 romances! Lol and my favorite answers to deep fried are definitely “this pissed me off so much”!!!! How I killed Pluto sounds hilarious and great. I’m really happy you brought up the imaginary corpse again because it’s been on my TBR since your review last year, and you’ve reinspired me to try and find it!! You’re answers were amazing as usual and I saved this video for a few days to watch it when I needed it because I knew I’d love it 🥰 thanks for doing the tag Amy!!

He loved when we had kittens in to Foster, and her especially loved his wee sister Dolly.

Sabriel is a fantasy with a cat called Mogget. Such a good book that leads into a great series

Your confession in the beginning of the video is completely understandable. I'm just like you. Glad to find someone who feels the same about this. Nice video!

I enjoyed the book but I didn't like the ending!! What did you think of it?

I'm so proud of you for doing this tag - Skimbles was absolutely awesome and I know this would have been tough to assemble. Never apologise for taking time out for yourself, even if it is just to enjoy the rare moments of sunshine. Books with cats? I adore The Amazing Maurice and hid Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett. Its YA, its a quick read and its thoroughly enjoyable. And if you really like it, its a great taster of the Discworld Universe (although completely standalone in and of itself.) If you do want to dabble in the Discworld, Greebo is by far the best cat in the series.

She's back!!! SHE'S BACK!!!! Ahhhh I'm so freaking happy you came back! The new wall color is amazing 🥰As a former resident of the arctic circle I can definitely relate to the complete and total enjoyment of any puddle of sunshine in the summer! I am so so sorry about your cat, the loss of a pet is devastating and I'm so sorry. Pets take up so much space in our lives and their absence is deafening. Skimbleshanks sounds like a hell of a cat! ❤

I am just coming back to Booktube after my health kicked my ass for a few months and I've been happily catching up on all the videos I missed out on for a few months. And since I am watching all my favorite Booktubers I of course watched this video! First, I am so so happy you liked the sound of a wild snail eating. It made me so happy that it delighted you and also caused you to stare at garden snails. Second I hope you are doing well! I saw you haven't posted in a while and I just wanted to tell you that I hope life is going okay and your health is doing better too! 🐌❤

Never read it but now I kinda want to
