    This has to be one of my favorite type of video from you. It is just a nice sit down where I feel like I'm having a conversation with you and you're like "well I read this books and Imma tell ya what they're about" it is just so nice.

    I’ve finally gotten around to reading the Percy Jackson series! I’m proud of myself. A 20 year old reading Percy Jackson... but who cares this series is AMAZING. I’ve been cruising through it and starting the last book tonight! I’ll be purchasing the Heroes of Olympus series shortly!

    • @Universeofka
      @Universeofka 6 років тому +1

      Meghan Hills that’s cool, I feel like you should read whatever you want, whenever you want. You shouldn’t read a series just because it is popular but because you think you’ll enjoy the story. I’m super into mythology and that stuff so I decided to give this series a shot. Personally I LOVE the concept of Harry Potter, and the story is great but honestly I’m not a huge fan of the books. The writing style is just not for me. It’s okay not to read or the popular things. Just read what you enjoy right?
      Also, happy 20th!

    I have recently read No Good Deed by Kara Connolly and I highly recommend it! It's very humorous and an interesting plot line. It's a retelling of Robin Hood about this Olympian archer in training who accidentally goes back to the medieval times and least to say that a modern day female with a bob cut hair style trying to survive in the medieval age is amazingly hilarious!

    I m babysitting and with the money I have earned in the last month I bought 5 books, and that for me is a lot in a row, 4 of them I have already read but those weren’t mine and I love them so much I needed to have them, and the 5th one was a book by Phillip Pullman called clockwork I think and it was AMAZING. I am reading the hobbit and tho i like it I find it tedious, like half of the chapters can be skipped and it wouldn’t matter so I needed to start and finish a book at once and , because this book was so short it was perfect. It’s about a man in a bar that is a watchmaker apprentice and has to make a statue for a clock and doesn’t know what to do. A man shows up in the bar to tell a story he has just written and the story is scary. And the book follows what happened after the tale is done. I lent the book a week ago and I want to read it again.

But if it sounds interesting to me I read and see how I feel . Like I said it wasn't bad and it was pretty interesting to see the characters and what they were thinking of each other . But right now I'm currently reading The Darkest Magic by Morgan Rhodes .

    Been listening to the audiobook of Seafire, and *loving* it :)
    I think it has some very interesting explorations of this idea of men vs women (e.g. Caledonia's crew is all-female whereas Aric's is all-male), and I'm curious to see how this will evolve in the rest of the book (I'm just over halfway through). Will do more of a review for my September wrap up :)

    I have not read any of these but heard good things about the last one. I'm a skeptic too when it comes to ghosts but these type of stories fascinate me. I hope I can find it somewhere here.
    Last two books I've read were Fahrenheit 451 ( I know I'm very late to the party) and a book from Maurice LeBlanc, the author of Arsène Lupin. Vastly different books but I loved them both. I've been reading a lot of books that don't work for me ,this year, so hoping to change that.

      It's just a round up of recent books I've read. I tend to do one once I've read 4-5 books. :)

    Jesse, Please read The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan. It is probably the best book I read over the summer. I would love to hear your opinions on it. Also I think it would be cool if all of booksplosion would cosplay as pirates. 😄

    I've read Necromancer, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, I'll Give You the Sun and The Immortalists recently. I think I'll Give You the Sun instantly became one my favorite books of the year if not of all time, it's just so well written and so emotional, two things I'm very sensitive to. I also really liked Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Immortalists, which are two literary fiction books about family, love and life I guess and were both slow burning which I like. Necromancer I'm still not sure I liked ; the first half was so hard to get through, I didn't like the main character and the story was so extremely hard to follow that I really thought of DNFing it but I kept at it anyway, it finally got better and I actually wanted to know what happened so I finished it but I still really did not like the writing so I don't know if I will read the sequel though I kind of struggle in giving up on series which sucks, I'm just too "faithful" to books, I think and keep thinking they're going to improve x)
