- ~ Thank you so much for watching this video and Happy Pride Month! ~
I truly didn't think that I would have another good reading month and really enjoyed getting to look back on my stats using story graph. I'm horrid when it comes to doing math, so having this to break things out was really neat to use.

omg your doggo is precious!! I loved hearing your thoughts on The Sacrifice especially with the little translations! Thank you for sharing and can't to see more of your book recommendations☺
aww thank you so much! she loves making an appearance whenever I start filming
Thank you for watching and for all the kind words 🥰
The troop was so disgusting, but I honestly loved it! Hahaha it’s one of my favourites 😂😂
oh my gosh really?! 🤣 i wish I could've pushed through, but it made me sick to my stomach and I had to make myself stop reading.
I hated the Troop. Finished it, but you saved yourself the trouble. Also fav book last month was Dune
THANK YOU! I feel like you're the first person I've talked to that didn't absolutely love the book. But yeah I truly tried to finish it since I got so far in the book, but it just wasn't for me.
I've heard a lot of good things about Dune. Maybe I'll pick it up one of these days
Omg, this is my first time here and Phantom by Susan Kay is my favorite book of all time. My favorite book to the point my copy LITERALLY broken in half bc if the broken spine so even if it's just for me PLEASE PLEASE do a video on all of your PotO retellings bc I also try to collect as many as possible.
I also just read Dear Medusa and I've never heard anyone else talk about it. I tabbed the heck out of it and also love poetry slams and we should be friends ❤
Oooo I don't think I have that one yet in my collection and will have to add it now 😍 and I definitely will! I have a video for next week going through my books including those. But I'll also film a short to show them all since my collection is still on the smaller side ❤
Oh my gosh! What were your thoughts on Dear Medusa?! And I'm so down to be friends 🥰
@goodmornindreamer Omg please read Phantom. Idk anyone who has actually read it. It's so good.
I love poetry so I enjoyed that it was in verse. There were soooo many good quotes in there that I probably tabbed every other page and I X'd out sections of people saying horrible things to her. I had a great time annotating it. I really enjoyed that the author went the direction of her becoming hyper sexual to deal with trauma instead of the other way around because I feel like that isn't a side that is explored a lot and was relatable to me. I gave it a 3.5 ⭐️ While I got the name of the book, it felt like it should've been something about wolves and rabbits since that was the constant metaphor. That was a complaint I had.
@@TAbs_00_ I definitely will! I'd like to get a physical copy of it, which may mean waiting until my book ban is over.
I never was wild about poetry until my college roommate brought me to a poetry slam and after that I was hooked. I couldn't agree more, I feel like when it comes to sexual trauma some sides are more explored than others and I felt like the way the author wrote it portrayed it really well.
I can definitely understand that. There were some mentions of Medusa and the "common" perception of her story but I feel like it should have been highlighted a bit more especially earlier on in the book when the wolf and rabbit metaphor was brought up. The book still resonated with me though and I couldn't get myself to rate it lower than a 5 ⭐
@goodmornindreamer Who are your favorite poets? Do you follow poetry button? That's where I used to watch them live stream slams. I wish i knew of somewhere nearby that did them. I found one but they only do it once a month and I haven't been yet.
@@TAbs_00_ I'm not quite sure if I have a favorite poet anymore. I have really enjoyed some pieces by Atticus ( I actually have a tattoo from one of their pieces that resonated with me back in college). I totally forgot about poetry button, I used to follow them on an older UA-cam account and never remembered to follow them on this one. When Love Arrives by Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye was one of my ALL time favorites along with Scars/To the New Boyfriend by Rudy Francisco. I had a location that I used to go to while in college, but since I've moved, I never got the chance to see if there were any locations near me to go to.
I could never get into relationship thrillers
totally understand. I think for me it definitely depends on the story and if it's interesting enough for me
