    Thanks for sharing. I just finished reading Ten Thousand Doors. I think it's funny that you're sort of siding with the villain. I like the point that you make about the reveal of Locke being the villain. The revelation that he was the bad guy was given piecemeal so that when you get the full story, it's not as shocking as it would have been if we thought he was a good guy the whole time.

    I was thinking about reading Little Women but decided to watch the movie first. I was so excited but I actually didn't like it. (I know, what's wrong with me) :) So I think I won't be reading the book either. The behind the scenes book you're showing is so pretty! :) Also, All the light we cannot see has such a beautiful cover! :o Lovely video.

    That Little Women book looks amazing!!! I’ll have to check it out!
    Anthony Downer. 😂 Still need to read that one!
    I LOVED A CURSE SO DARK & LONELY. It’s extremely slow in the beginning, but hang on it gets so good!
    You should watch our live show discussion on Kalyn Abridged’s channel for 10 Thousand Doors of January. There’s so many hidden meanings in that book that I didn’t realize. 🤯

      The necklace I'm wearing is actually part of a set from World Market! They were cheap so the gold has kinda turned to copper, but I don't really mind when that happens :P
      And I will watch it! I definitely probably missed some key things by skimming the ending, but I'd rather just hear how it played out than read it anyway! Lol

  • @Paul_the_Bookworm

    If you read 10 comics that took half an hour each to read then it would still count towards the amount you read. It's YOUR challenge, if you're reading something then it counts. If anyone says differently then personally I'd be using a two word phrase and the second would be "off".

      I have, a few times, and I do love that one, but something about this new one really captured the spirit of Jo "the writer" for me & man, it resonates so deeply with me! I've never felt that with the Winona Ryder one, but I do love watching Christian Bale as Laurie! He's so charming :)

    Fine moment to pick up your reading. You might reach 50 books for 2020 challenge ☺. My country has closed borders so bookdepository suspended deliveries. Hope the poll for may-june pick includes books i already have or read. It's uncertain when borders will be opem again.
