I've never related to anything more than "although it sounds achievable, has something huge working against it....me"
feel this so much too💜
Having a bookseller tell me that I look like somebody who likes queer dark stories is now a new life goal of mine. 💰
💸💸 Your money and my money flying off into the sunset together, heading for publishers' pockets....
Yesss I love a "reading your tbr" series especially when the focus is keeping it under control 😂
The think is, because of the way percentages work, if you really want to end the year at 60%, you really need to be hovering somewhere between 50-60% EVERY month in order to remain within striking distance at the end of the year, unless you plan to stop buying books at a certain point so that you can focus on catching up. But because you are counting books that are gifted to you, and Christmas falls at the very end of the year, you would have to actually be OVER 60% at that point in order to give yourself a cushion!
This vlog really strengthens my desire to pick up The Will of the Many, but it's so long, and my TBR is so crowded that I don't know when I will be able to fit it in. * cries *
I wanna see the DNF chronicles included with this. DNFing new purchased books is helpful. Sometimes I hold off reading books because it wears the new off and allows me to dnf.
Fellow ADHD brain here❤ seeing your tabs for every 50pages made me so ridiculously happy 😂 I do almost the same and felt a bit weird about it 😅🥳 it helps my brain stay on task 😅
"Good God Girl Get A Grip" you should trademark that and put it on a shirt hahahaha The first time the page counter went up I got scared and thought something fell behind you. This is why I shouldn't watch videos and make thumbnails at the same time. Your percentage is looking great! I'm excited to see how you keep up with it! 💸💸
I completely understand about your poor furbaby. One of mine started losing weight for some unknown reason, but she was still eating. After I noticed the weight loss I was feeding her and her siblings when she howled while eating and then slunk away. Took her to the vet and come to find out she had a bacterial infection on her teeth. It made her mouth terribly sore. Her gums became all red and raw, but we couldn’t see it because it was in the back of her mouth. It was treatable with medicine for a long time, but then the medicine started hurting her liver. We almost lost her. After that the option was to remove her back teeth. She had to completely relearn how to eat. She has done great once she did that!
So glad you picked up and loved The Will of the Many! It was also my first James Islington book. It is my top favourite book of the year so far, joint with the Mars House by Natasha Pulley which i think you'd also enjoy. It has great they/them representation, a discussion around the treatment of refugees, and there's a thriller element, and a little bit of romance. It's a sci fi set on Mars in the future.
You've finally convinced me to pick up Red Rising with your comparison to The Will of the Many. I read the first 50ish pages years ago and for several reasons put it down and never felt the need to pick it up. But for you, i shall try again!
Also I love the range of genres read in this vlog, and the vlog title.
Thank you for the content :)
💸 Lol. Really enjoyed the vlog! That castle looked gorgeous!!
I loved this format for this challenge. A dnf is still a win in my book lol.
I’m located in Tallahassee and those girls are still mourned here. My neighbor was a first cousin of one of the girls that Bundy killed and he would go into the high schools and tell her tale and provide some security tips, something unheard of in the 80s. He was a lovely man but so tortured. I might have to pick this one up.
💸💸💸💸💸💸
I've spent so much on new books, I've even added a bookshelf to my desk at work to hide some. 😅 In that stack is 3 Janice Hallett books, never read her before and I'm excited about your review.
I really liked The Will of the Many but it wasn’t my favorite until the very end and omg soooooooo good!
This is so funny, I was listening to you while sewing. With your accent, I heard Sexy Percent Diaries.
I love this new series! It inspires me to challenge myself to read my new books too! 💸❤
I am so glad that you read and enjoyed Bright Young Women, it was my #1 book last year. I thought it was so incredibly well done and very sensitive to the actual victims - the fact that he was never named was very important.
This made me go back and look at how many books I had read of the ones I bought this year...rude. LOL!! The numbers are not great. Maybe this will help me reassess some things so I don't die buried in my apartment under a pile of books. Even if there are worse ways to go out.
ahh such a fun video!! love the format, your reviews in this format, just everything. cant wait for the next installment.
This was such a fun vlog! I've been eying a few of those titles and I've got no idea when or how I'll get to them but on the list they go.
💸 Funnily enough, I was cross stitching throughout this whole video, so when your WIP came up I was very happy about it. I tossed my name into the audiobook holds list for _Bright Young Women_ so thanks for that tentative rec.
I had a cat that lost their teeth like that too! It’s so emotional. I’m so glad you’re such a good cat mom ❤
You have now made me more excited to read The Will of the Many - didn’t think that was possible 😊 - I HAVE to get to it next month! Love it when an Aussie author has had such huge success with a wider audience! 🥰
i stayed up to finish the examiner and yeah.... agree with everything you said here. i was so bored and the reveal/ending was not worth it. so disappointed 😭 wish you'd just said no when i asked for it 😂
The teeth fact I did know. Because my calico has four teeth that reabsorbed with. No. Trace. Like the roots were even gone. Apparently it is more prone in older female cats. But of course with the patented Leanne Luck I’m not surprised you’re boy had it too 😂😂
This is awesome! I love the balance between the vlog and chatty bits ❤
you are a beam of pure sunlight! i enjoyed this volg so much! it has made me want to track my bookish buys and read more of what I buy rather than just collecting books.
As an IBS girlie I got excited about Fragile Animals, but I don’t like those types of descriptions either 😣
Thought I was glitching at the start of the video 😅 Love the video and the 60% goal. Could I follow a similar goal? Prrrobably not 💸
I fell asleep in the last 10 minutes and have only just come back 😂😂 loved this video!! Congrats on smashing it 👌💖💸💰🤑
P.s. love how the thumbnail turned out, all worth the late night patreon pj party 😂
Absolutely loved this vlog! This gives me motivation to work towards my own goal of reading 50% of my own 2024 Haul
What an AWESOME vlog Lianne! You out-did yourself on this one! I loved all of the bits and sections throughout. 💰💰💰Hello Harry, pups and kitties ❤
Poor McNab... I hope he feels better. Glad he lucked out with parents who give him the medical attention he needs. ❤
💸💰💸 I really enjoyed this. You are always honest which I love 🐨 I have that James Islington book on my wish list. I am always excited to find a fellow Aussie who writes top class books👏
Loved this so much and it is so encouraging to do the reading work. And I'm so happy for you that you also liked "The Will of the Many", I loved it a lot too, and I wished I had the sequel in my hands multiple times since reading it. Hopefully Red Rising will help me make it through the wait.
What a fun vlog concept! I can’t wait to see the next one! And I’m so sorry you broke your ankle! I hope it heals quickly and well!💸
💲💱enjoyed this video! I knew you would like Bright Young Women as soon as you held it up!
💸💸💸💸💸💸I feel that. Thanks for bringing us another lovely vlog series! May your future purchases serve you better ❤
This was so fun! 💸 Can't wait for the next episode to see what you'll be reading!
I love everything about this, and the editing is just mwah chef’s kiss 👌
This was sooo entertaining. Loved the combo of loved it and other....💸💸💸
I can completely relate to 📚= 💸
I loved this!!! 💰💰💰💰
a fun video series!
I’ve heard Bright Young Women is very good. If you don’t read this type of story would you still recommend? I love this vlog series!! 💸
Loved the vlog and seeing what the end results and ratings were! So sorry about the ankle!
Love it!
💸💸💸 what a fun series! More please!! 💕💕
i love a tbr series like this!!! highly anticipating the next one❤
💸I'm so looking forward to reading bright young women. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Also if you have never done so, you need to look into Heaven and Earth Designs for cross stitching. They are AMAZING.
An hour long video??? Yes pls.
How are you liking Story Graph? I really love it, but I've heard some people be a little overwhelmed by it. 💸💸💸
Oh, I want to know this too - I've used Goodreads for many years, and I don't know how a transition is going to go, even though there are things I don't like about Goodreads
LOVED this video! Janice Hallett is not cool 💸💸💸
💰 this is such a fun series!
I could never do this, I don't have the willpower! 😂💸💸💸
WOOOOOOO, you did good girl
The fact that you have 0 one star reads is such a flex though

Just wondering, when you say "pyjama day with your patrons" do you spend the whole day live? 😇
