I played sims yesterday and all of my cats disappeared so my inner cat crazy lady adopted two at once but my other house has like three .. cats . One of the cats name is Doris and I’m so called out 😭😭😭 I have a dog named Doris and a cat name Doris and me LOL .

Esther the Wonder Pig sounds like a great one to read. It is really cool you got to meet her (better than meeting a celebrity in my mind). Happy New Year.

I agree, meeting her was probably more exciting than meeting most people haha oops. Happy New Year to you too! I wish you well

Happy 2024, my friend!! Cara Bastone's Audible Originals are so good. I'm actually really looking forward to Ready or Not (though, apparently I forgot to add to this my Goodreads). I can't wait to hear what you think!

@@BooksToAshes I love how broad your range is though! That's part of what keeps reading interesting. And I get the need to take a break. I've got a TBR game as well and I love it to bits but sometimes the pressure gets to me.

Yasssss AOT! I'm re-watching the anime for the (will not say the number because it's kind of embarrassing 😅🙃😂) time and I really want to read the manga this year! Good luck on your January TBR!

I had so many comments in my brain as your video was playing, and then I had to be interrupted and forgot everything. So instead I'm leaving a comment saying I'm off to your community tab to look at your polls and videos of other booktubers!

Not me...ahem...squealing (I'm so sorry, I can't help myself) over Esther The Wonder Pig and how unbelievably ADORABLE your love for her is, oh my GOSH!!! So, your reading taste is basically a combination of mine and my husband's and it's starting to get weird...the Lauren Asher series is SO on my "I want to read, please fit on my TBR SOON" list while he LOOOVES Stephen King (nope, nightmares) and BERSERK is his freaking JAM (also, no, nightmares). And, I'm sorry, you've been reading that Cassie Clare series FOR HOW LONG?!?! I believe nothing you said about having a bad memory. That is COMMITMENT and I bow down in awe. Also, what is that magic with making your own scratch-offs (don't actually tell me, let me think you have actual magic powers so I can feel like a kid again) and I MADE YOUR LIST! I MADE YOUR LIST! I FEEL SO LOVED!

Haha I love that pig damn it, I was so invested in her story for years. Considering my reading taste is chaotic at best, I take that as a compliment I'm a mix of you both, that's actually really cool! I LOVE procrastinating with series alright??? I've been reading TMI and TID since 2018 and this is the year I finish that! (I don't remember much honestly I just pretend I know what's happening as I read half the time) I have such a fun time with my sorcery that is my scratch cards. I need to make more and become obsessed with them. AND OF COURSE YOU DIDD!! You're one of the best, shh don't tell the other 70+ people haha (kidding I appreciate all of you)

I love that scratch off so much! it's so cute 😍 I had caught up with the Attack on Titan manga awhile back, so I read about 3/4th of the entire series and I'm so curious about the ending after seeing peoples reactions online 🤔 I felt conflicted about it at the time so part of me doesn't want to bother but part of me does want to bother 😂

Thank you! It's a fun time I completely feel that! A part of me wants to know but maybe it's better to be ignorant. That being said, at least we're prepared for it I guess and maybe it's not that bad....we can only hope 👀

Omg that is a gorgeous cover of Leviathan Wakes 😍 also that’s a really nice d20 too, is that purple mixed in with the blue?? And I’m definitely adding Ester the pig book to my TBR, I had no idea about the CT scanner story 😁 (also thanks for including me in the playlist btw, that’s very sweet xx)

@BooksToAshes7 ай бұрын
Thank you 💙💙 I have a Cricut Joy machine and designed the layout using the app that then draws it out for you with marker. I got little scratch off stickers beforehand online so I knew the measurements and placed them over the squares after printing it. (it could also probably be done on a printer too) It worked out pretty well and liked how it turned out!

Omg yes the soundtrack of AoT is so good. My husband was listening to classical music, and song came on, and I was like “That’s from AoT!” and he was like…sweetie, no.. this song is way older than that show. I felt like such a loser haha I hate the pregnancy trope. It makes me sad bc I can’t have kids. Even though I’ve never wanted any biologically, it makes me sad to know I can’t even if I wanted to. So any book with pregnancy I will not pick up. There are a couple sanctuaries in my state for animals that would have gone to slaughter. Some have lots of animals, and one is only cows. You can go cuddle the cows and chickens and stuff. I want to go, but it’s like 4hrs+ away, sadly. I go to this vegan festival every year, and the first year I went, I saw like 3 of the companies there. I want to cuddle cows soooo badly!
@BooksToAshes7 ай бұрын
HAHA omg🤣your husband's probably had a hint of subtle disappointment (but I definitely agree it's amazing!) Completely understandable not wanting to read books with it then. The best thing to do is read outside those tropes for your own mental health💙 Omg stop I want to go there! I need to search for more sanctuaries near me because I've been to 2 and LOVE them, but I've never had the honor of hugging a cow, it's now on my bucket list
