"Sometimes I Lie", "Middle of the Night" and "Wilder Girls" sound interesting! I don't read much anymore, because as a writer I get worried I subconsciously take ideas without knowing. Inspiration can be good but I don't want to accidentally copy plot points of a story. I remember when I have realized I actually got a small plot point from something I was watching the same year. 3:12 I love the smiley face cowboy shirt! so cute!
@@Vaquix000 that’s such a good point. I feel like from reading so much I do sometimes notice storylines feeling similar to one another. It does sometimes feel like original ideas are few and far between like with shows and movies doing reboots and making sequels just because it’s popular and beloved instead of making something new. I’ve heard music artists also say it’s really hard not to pull from things that they’ve heard previously without meaning to
@@carolinerichards_ I think it's because they're too scared of losing money so they just play it safe and use something that already has a fanbase. They forget they wouldn't have franchises to milk if they were as cowardly with movies in the past, there would be no star wars made in the 70's because they would be too busy remaking and rebooting things from the 40's. They wouldn't have that cash cow if there wasn't brave creators with passion that created it in the 70's. If people stopped seeing these reboots and sequels they would be forced to do something new, but for some reason people just can't get enough of seeing the same thing over and over. I only watch new things because I want to see creative new ideas. If we're in 2050 and there's still batman movies then that is sad, but I wouldn't be surprised. Sorry, bit long!
@@Vaquix000 yeah I definitely think money is the motivation! There are hardcore fans who will keep watching all the reboots but I do think some would prefer to let the classics remain classics and just watch more original things
@@carolinerichards_ "let the classics remain classics" exactly! It shows a lot more respect to a franchise to let them have an ending instead of dragging it out until it stops making money. Breaking bad for example could have just kept going since it was making a lot of money, but the creator chose art over money and ended the story and it's still remembered fondly because of that, meaning more people will be interested in his future shows. So it shows that spending more focus on the art is a better way of making money anyway.
@@Vaquix000 definitely agree breaking bad had one of the best endings ever and is a perfect example of a show that did have a spin off but it was really well done and relevant
That seems so often to me! I swear when I was younger it used to only be every 5 years or something you had to renew your card. Did you read the 2nd book in the Less series?

I have to renew my San Diego Card every year(have to go into the library to do this)
LESS was a bit of a let down for me... It was OK(3.5)

@@carolinerichards_ I have not read the 2nd LESS book, I'm sure at some point I will give it a try
I had to DNF this book i just could not follow it.
@@shanielgray6296 oh no which book?!
