    I'd recommend pachinko to you, it follows a korean family over several generations as they move to japan. I dont want to say too much but it's really wonderful.

    I really liked the ending of conversations with friends. It re-enforced that Frances was a flawed character and I found it realistic. Lots of people make mistakes in their youth driven by impulsive behaviour.

    I have the Sage Barista and it has 100% repaid itself. I recommend Lost Sheep Coffee. Their beans are in recyclable packaging and the Get to the Hopper blend is excellent. They were the first coffee company to do 100% recyclable coffee pods for machines too. 5stars!

    You can buy actual barista almond milk but it is a little more expensive. I use coconut milk with my coffee because then I don’t have add extra sweetener

    I listened to The Dutch House on Audible and LOVED it! They had Tom Hanks as the narrator, which was super random but very great. Also, if you haven't read Commonwealth by Ann Patchett, I recommend it! It's similar in the generational way and also really good.

  • @PEACELOVEMUSICA
    @PEACELOVEMUSICA 4 роки тому

    I do think that watching the Normal People show first might be a different experience but my bookclub read it first and strongly disliked this book. I think there’s a softness and more empathetic perspective of the characters in film. It’s also sometimes just nice to watch film technique of sadness, so I think my perspective of the plot would have interpreted it as more “romantic” in film. However, written out first, we could not stand the characters. They are real, which I usually enjoy even if things are sad, but we found this book so difficult to get through. Watching the show now still frustrates me at how romantic music makes you ignore the toxic elements of a relationship.
    I also Dutch House in another bookclub and really liked it. It’s doesn’t get into the character’s perspective as deep as I would have liked, but I saw this as almost an adult fairytale. I also love old homes, and the “main character” in this book is their Dutch house which I found unique!
    I know everyone’s book choices are different but I just thought I’d offer our bookclubs’ view on these reads!

    1. Do NOT put this on loop or repeat once it's done. UA-cam will see it as s / p / 4 / m and won't show you ads.
    2. Watch it through once. Then, watch 3 to 5 videos after of any length. Then, research this video manually and watch it through again. Make sure to watch different videos every time.
    3. Do NOT watch in a playlist or a browser app. Use the youtube app.
    4. Turn off ad block or youtube premium (you can make a new account or use an incognito tab)
    5. Watch on at least 480p and at at least half volume. Do NOT pause or fast forward the video.
    6. Watch through videos and do NOT skip them. You can click on ads as well!
    7. Comment and like this video - it will tell UA-cam this is something people like. Be careful with your wording, though, and avoid emojis
    8. Do not clear playback or search history
    9. Share this on social media! Spread the word!

    Ok I’m literally the FIRST person to love beauty, luxury etc but I’m gonna be honest that ANYONE still posting “business as usual” right now in light of what’s going on is someone I can no longer support. Even if this was pre filmed you could have addressed things in the Downbar. If those of us who aren’t affected by BLM just avoid it, things will never get better. Nothing personal, I’m unsubscribing to everyone who posts videos without addressing it today, and I hope everyone reading this is only consuming content that reflects your own values, whatever those may be. I respect that many will disagree with me and I support your right to freedom of speech so please support mine.

    • @miyounova
      @miyounova 4 роки тому +10

      There are always atrocities going on. Did anyone stop posting because of how people in Palestine are treated? For the Ouigur in China? For the civil wars in some African countries, which involve child-soldiers, gang rape and torture? For Venezuela? For the lack of human rights in China? Did people stop buying fast fashion despite the horrible conditions the workers live and DIE in, & the fact that is directly affects us all because we all buy from them and therefore perpetuate their conditions for things we often don't need? No, none of it? Then you can't support anyone. You're being highly hypocritical. Especially, I might add, since Alix is not avoiding, people can actually do more than one thing in life.

    • @dianarusnov292
      @dianarusnov292 4 роки тому +4

      I would go and look at her Instagram because she did address the issue yesterday. Not posting about the issue absolutely everywhere isn't necessarily avoiding it, especially since she probably pre-filmed and pre-scheduled this to post, but also because it's a video about her beauty and book favorites? If I was filming myself cooking a recipe or teaching my dog a new trick, am I really obligated to speak on a political issue in that same video? She may speak on it in an upcoming video. Also not attacking you here, just aiming to have a dialogue about the issue. It may look like I don't care, but BLM is a very important issue to me and has affected many people, including my local community, where unfortunately yesterday the police turned violent against groups of innocent protestors and bystanders. The videos broke my heart. Not sure where you're from, I'm from the West Coast of the United States.

    • @mini0001
      @mini0001 4 роки тому +2

      @@dianarusnov292 Hi, first of all, I appreciate all viewpoints and I know you were not trying to attack me :) One thing I want to say is that I respectfully disagree with the idea that it is not necessary to post across all platforms. As Caroline Hirons said in a recent video, its not enough to post insta stories, as an influencer you have to actually take a stand, post on your main grid and on your main platforms. I don't follow her on Instagram as I am sure many others do not, and I'd appreciate a statement on this platform too. Also, a lot of beauty influencers are continuing to post videos but at least posting some links to the cause in the down bar and putting a statement there. We are beyond the point of choosing not to speak about things, silence is complicity at this point. Also, I don't think this is a "political" issue as you claim, I think it is a moral issue. However I really appreciate what you said about how you want to open a dialogue, I want to continue that dialogue, I want to hear your view point and any others. I appreciate you expressing your view in a respectful and non-aggressive manner. Also I am so sorry to hear your community has been affected by the violence, I hope you and your loved ones are OK. I am from Canada and have less experience with this but am watching your country in horror and praying for your citizens.
