What's the best book you read in September? Do you have a favourite spooky read? Let me know! 📚💀 also, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with calling your mom ‘mommy’ as an adult, just that I’ve never heard it before and in the context of a thriller it came off as creepy (as in it seemed it was leading up to some kind of twist)! It’s so interesting to learn that it’s actually quite common in many places. It’s always cool to learn how different cultural norms are from region to region ❤️
I'm currently reading The Hand on the Wall, the third book in the Truly Devious series by Maureen Johnson! It's a murder mystery trilogy (and there's a fourth book, too, but it hasn't come out yet, and it's honestly just kind of a continuation of the franchise- it's not really related), and it's just incredible. If you're looking to read more creepy while not horror books for October, anyone, it's a good fit! I also read If You're Out There by Katy Loutzenhiser recently, but that's not really scary, haha.
My favourite September read was probably cemetery boys by Aiden Thomas. It's a book about a trans guy in the brujx community in LA and a very cute and angsty ghost - loved it! Would also be a good October read because of the ghosts aspect. My favourite spooky read is probably Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo - I can't do proper scary as I'm a scardy cat haha so it's just scary enough for me and soooooo good
my favourite read of the month was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by J.S. Foer. It was on my uni's tbr for english/american literature students and I cried several times. It follows a boy whose dad dies in 9/11 on the hunt for the lock his dad'd mysterious key opens but skimps into backstories of his grandmother and -father. the plot itself isn't to exciting but the amount of feelings and just very emotional real life topics really got me and while heartbreaking, it is one of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time!
I have just watched your october recap & November tbr video and I wasn't expecting something like that! The books you mentioned are so interesting and I want to read almost all of them! Also this video is so helpful. I just wanted to add that I really appreciate your trigger warnings. They are so helpful, thank you.
I haven’t read “when no one is watching” but if the character is from the south calling parents “mommy” and “daddy” is the norm even if you’re 50+ years old. It is becoming less normal but definitely one of those respect things. I know In Spanish I still use the “mommy” version of calling my mom. Also one of those culture things.
The story takes place in Brooklyn and the protagonist was born and raised there. That’s so interesting! I didn’t know it was a common thing in the south of the US ☺️
I am in my 60’s and from the north and I still called my Mom, mom or mommy. , and now that she’s gone, when we (brothers & sisters ) talk about her we still call her mommy. When you have a good Mom calling her Mommy is very affectionate.
I took a journalism class and it turned into a course mainly discussing "The Tao of Pooh" ! I think you will enjoy it. Adored the Pooh Bujo you made. xx
I love reading. I have a very extensive reading list. However, I have not finished a single book this year which is really unlike me. My depression symtoms have been preventing me from physically picking up a book. I can go all day thinking about wanting to read, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I am hoping I will be able to say I at least finished one book by the end of the year. How do you read so many books in a month? Do you set time aside every day to read? Do you ever struggle with reading?
Happy October! Another month, another pie. This time pumpkin! My favorite book this month was definitely the Aliki Barnstone translation of Cavafy’s poetry, but I’m not sure how you feel about poetry! Definitely do recommend it though. Currently reading The Children of Blood and Bone, which I think is on your want to read shelf already lol, but I highly recommend it.
Have you read The Lady Alchemist by Samantha Vitale? It’s by far the best book I’ve read this year. My book club is reading it this month and they keep saying how much they love it, too!
Haha, oh dear, Station Eleven sounds a little too close to home for you! It's on my TBR, so that'll be interesting - I'm not from the area and not an actor, so I'm a fair bit more remove, at least! Felix Ever After and The Deep both sound really interesting, too. Agreed on Record of a Spaceborn Few, honestly - it feels the weakest of the three. I did really enjoy it, but 'disconnected' definitely is a good way to describe it. In the first, you have a crew; in the second, you have two focalisers whose lives are quite intertwined. This had connections, but they were more shallow. Still, really good read. Chambers has a novella out called To Be Taught, If Fortunate, so I'm looking to read that soon. There are also two solarpunk novellas due next year and 2022 (with robots!!), and next year should see another Wayfarers too. Fingers crossed they're more like the first two! The Tao of Pooh sounds adorable!
Station Eleven is on my TBR. Perhaps I'll finally get to it in October. The Deep sounds very intriguing, and I've added that to my TBR as well. I recently read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, and quite liked it. Isn't Cussy Mary the best character name?
One of the girls that graduated from my sorority, she is actually my grand big but people won't really know what that means unless they were in a sorority, wrote a book! It was FANTASTIC!!! I haven't been a big reader in a long time I'm talking freshman year of high school which was 8 years ago and I couldn't put that book down! It is called The Perfect Marriage by Jeneve Rose. Please read it because you will like it!
@@PlantBasedBride I don't know if it is on Goodreads I'm sure it is pretty much everything is but she is so proud of that book they sold rights to have it made into some kind of television thing (I don't remember what exactly it was) I'm just proud and happy to be able to say I have the coolest grand big in the sorority because she is a twice published author lol
Ugh I didn’t read too many good books this September, but I read a great one during August!! Totally loved Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust. It was great!! I read the first three books in the three dark crowns series, and I’m not really enjoying it. It’s amazing how Kendare Blake can take super interesting concepts and write them horribly. But I’m way too stubborn to not read the fourth one now, as I pushed through the first three to see if they would get better (they didn’t). Liking forward to reading some other books (since adding you in good reads, I’ve seen some really good ones you added that I want to read). Love the vid and your channel ❤️
I'm in my 30's and still call my mom "momma" I've never called her mom or mother to her face unless I was angry or frustrated with her, so I don't think I could stop calling her momma. I'm very interested in Station Eleven. I read the Chemical Garden trilogy at the beginning of the year. It deals with the world finding a cure for cancer, but with unfortunate consequences. Reading it has made me worry about them pushing through a vaccine without knowing if it could possibly cause lasting side affects. I actually impulsively bought my mom The Te of Piglet at a used book store years ago, just because Piglet is her favorite, and I couldn't NOT get it for her. Now I need to find The Tao of Pooh so we can read them both. 😯 I think my favorite scary books I've read have been the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark trilogy, and Gerald's Game by Stephen King. The (mostly) one page stories with sketchy illustrations in the Scary Stories books are fun to add a bit of spookiness to each day. Gerald's Game is one of my favorite Stephen King books. If you take out the fantastical elements it's still scary, because it's something that could actually happen irl. Many trigger warnings for Gerald's Game though.
Just looked up Unkindness of Ghosts on audible, and I was allowed to download it for free! No idea why, but just throwing it out there for other audible users to check out. Cant wait to listen to it!
So, on the Mommy issue...I am Spanish and I call my mother Mom, if I am calling her or speaking to her, but if I am speaking about her with someone else, I will refer to her as Mother. I think it has a lot to do with your cultural background...Anyway, I am reading right now The Heart goes Last by Margaret Atwood, and I am loving it. I think it would be a good match for you. Check it out! Wish you a lovely week and thanks again for these bookish videos. I enjoy them a lot!
I think it’s common for a lot of people to be less formal when speaking directly to their mom! The character referring to her mom as mommy when speaking to people she barely knew felt foreign to me. 😅 Thank you for the suggestion ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoy these videos!
Re the adult use of mommy I'm from the Caribbean and it's quite common on the islands where I grew up so it's definitely a thing in some places. I'm in my 30's and my friends both male and female refer to their parents as mommy and daddy. Me and my siblings use mom and dad and we're the odd ones out lol
Would me commenting in French be more stressful or would you like it as a way to keep practising your French? I'm half French and lived there until I was 18 (I'm 23 now) and it was just a thought as you've spoken about wanting to practice your French and stuff (your accent is very good btw!) :)
Loved this video! September was a frustrating reading month for me because of the 6 books I read, 4 of them kind of just annoyed me and I rated them all between 3-3.5 stars 😅 however it was because of the writing style that I didn’t like for some, and the others I didn’t love in comparison to the rest of the books of that series. So it wasn’t bad, just not the best month 😂
My sister and I (both in our 30s) still call our mom, "Mommy." When I talk about her, I call her "my mom," but as we talk to each other or to her, it's always "Mommy." Just never got out of the habit from when we were little, I guess.
I call my mum Mummy. I'm British; not sure if that has any bearing on it but it's just what I've always called her ... it's never occurred to me to call her Mum - that would be weird or even weirder Mom. But I do refer to her as 'My mum' ... not sure how that's different, just is to me. X
in terms of calling parents "mommy" and "daddy" even when you're older, i think that more of my bipoc friends do it. but it is interesting that one side of my family does it and the other side of my family doesn't. (i'm filipino-american and in college.)
That’s interesting! I wonder why that might be 🤔 None of my local friends (BIPOC or not) do it, but it seems more common in other English speaking countries.
@@PlantBasedBride I guess just cultural norms in different countries, I know for me it was bc my younger brother kept calling them that way so I hung onto the habit for much longer and never figured out when to switch haha
Haha that makes sense, too! I’m the youngest child so I wonder if that’s why I don’t remember ever calling my mom ‘mommy’, if I started imitating my older sister as a little kid 🤔
“Mommy or Mummy “ as we say down under is not that common in adulthood, normally Mum/Mom. However having said that my 90 yo neighbour still refers to her late mother as “Mummy”... threw me at first.
I mean there’s lots of variations haha I guess it’s just in my area that it’s uncommon! I’ve never heard any adult call their mom ‘mommy’ but it seems it’s really common in a lot of places ❤️
Well, I'm 23 and I still call my mom, "mommy" (or, well, the Spanish version of mommy). I call her mommy when I'm talking to her, but I call her mom when I'm talking about her with someone else.
I’m learning it’s very different based on language and culture, which makes a lot of sense! In my personal experience it’s very uncommon, at least when speaking to other people about our mothers.
I actually do know a couple of adults (Southern USA) that call their mom “Mommy,” but it’s not commonplace as far as I know... I’m with you on it being a bit odd.
Plant Based Bride hey I was born and raised in Kentucky and really the only time I’ve heard adults use the word mommy or daddy is when they’re talking to a younger child about their parents. Or if an older adult (usually a grandparent or aunt/uncle) is talking to a younger adult about their parents. For example, my papaw always refers to his daughter as “your mammy” to me and my brother. My mom always refers to her ex-husband as “your daddy” to me and my brother.
im 20 and i still call my mom mommy because that’s how we are ? lmaoo I have no idea, I think it’s a spanish, latin, hispanic thing. i just find it weird calling my mom “mom” 😂
Hahah fair! I was talking to my husband about this and I don’t think I ever called my mom ‘mommy’, even when I was little! Maybe that’s why it sounds so weird to me 😂
the scariest book I have read is revelations from the bible. the books you read look like the once my sister would love. I prefer to learn sometimes either the bible or biology ..
I’m learning from the comments that it’s definitely a regional/cultural thing! It’s interesting how something so normal in one area is super creepy in another 😂
Haha amazing. I’m learning it’s much more common than I’d realized! I think it may have been the way the narrator said it that made it feel creepy, the more I think about it 😂
Haha I think this might be a cultural thing. I'm Chinese and it's pretty normal even for adults to call their mothers "mommy" or, with a Cantonese accent, "mamee."

I don't understand the mommy thing, either. Definitely must be a cultural thing that I just can't relate to!

@@Lunabear459 That makes sense for the character! Thank you for sharing that :)
@@watchthevideos56 I think it really depends on region/culture. I have a good mom who I love, but I don't ever call her mommy!
Rewatching this as I wait for your October reads 😍

I love that book!!
ahh reading is the best!! and my fav was probably the "shatter me" series or "eat pretty" :)
I read When No One Is Watching last month too and loved it but I totally get what you mean by needing to be able to have that suspension of belief.
I really wanted to be 100% on board but it just got so extreme at the end! I still really enjoyed it, though.
The Fifth Season is one of my favorite books ever! I love NK Jemisin’s writing so much.
I’m really enjoying it so far ❤️
I just gotta say that your outfit is really cool in this video
Aw thank you! I love playing with my style a bit ❤️
I read "la fiances de l'hiver". It's a really good book.
oh wow, those books are just my type. I am definitely gonna read all of them. I love books with mystery and thrill so much. Lots of love from India.

Aw thank you! I think I would enjoy that ❤️
I say "mami", "mamita", "má" maybe is cultural bc I'm latina and it's very common to call in this way to our moms in my country.
I think it’s quite different in other languages for sure!
Mommy and mami are very similar tho :3

Plant Based Bride in my culture it varies from “mommy” to “mama” or we use their first name or nickname.
Well, I'm 23 and I still call my mom, "mommy" (or, well, the Spanish version of mommy). I call her mommy when I'm talking to her, but I call her mom when I'm talking about her with someone else.
well in hispanic cultures a lot of us call our moms mommy regardless of age

@@PlantBasedBride It's just weird for me to call her anything else now i guess lol I've been doing it for so long that I guess that makes sense
Totally makes sense! I think I always called my mom “mom” even when I was little haha
I have not read the first book, but I do not know a single person that calls their mother mommy in English. Mom yes. But mommy? Would freak me out.
