The day that my bloodmarked copy came in I reread legend born that whole day, then read bloodmarked and I cried 💀💀

Noooo i'd hate it if it got a TV series it takes away the imaginary component of books i love 😭 (and obv if it does come out i can't just not watch it 🙄)

@@user-ir8mc8gl4x Think long term! Streaming has opened a gateway for the potential of good iterations of IP media (Witcher, Bridgerton, Umbrella Academy, etc) We get the right production company with the budget? It's gonna be GOOD.

Read legendborn and bloodmarked last month for the first time and LOVED them both! Exceeded my expectations and are two of my new fave fantasy books. I can’t wait for oathbound.

I would 100% love a video essay on OUAT. I've never made it beyond the first, like, two seasons, but I'd love to hear someone else dive into it and discuss it.

I second this! I would also love a video on the BBC show Merlin!

Legendborn is one of my all time favourite books! I read it for the first time two years ago and I still think about it all the time. Bloodmarked is a fantastic sequel so I’m fairly certain you’ll enjoy it if you enjoyed Legendborn so much.

It was actually awesome to hear your thoughts on ridding mythological tales of their original identity, because while I'm neither American nor anglophone, recent trends on retellings of "celtic" myths done by americans always make me wonder how does it feel to people who feel emotional personal connection with their myths to see this happen to them. I do research on modern folklore interpretations and what they lose in the process and why as part of my degree, so this is very interesting to me, but I feel like goes under the radar a lot in more anglophone spaces.

As a welsh girl this book series is genuinely one of my favourites! I didn’t expect the welsh language to be shown so much in the book and it made me so excited!

@elliefletcher2862 3 ай бұрын

Watching you read is infectious, to watch anyone get this much childhood joy and nostalgia from a book is so wonderful! As an English teacher who constantly tries to persuade kids into reading for pleasure, watching you read and dissect this bought me so much joy!! ❤

I am so happy you read this!!! Bloodmarked was honestly even better prepare yourself 😅😅 Babel is a book I am TERRIFIED to read 😭😭 I know I need to push myself and just do it but the fear is real

@pjsandpages92 3 ай бұрын

Legendborn is also my favorite YA Fantasy! Actually Legendborn and Bloodmarked are pretty much on equal footing. Can’t wait to see what you think of Bloodmarked!

I've always seen people talk about Legendborn but never really wanted to read it, but now, you've convinced me, I got the ebook 😏

Just finished Our Share of Night--began reading the deceptively slim paperback and it took me about a month but I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of my current pattern of reading stories about ghosts with queer relationships, I can't get enough

This is so serendipitous. I just read Legendborn and Bloodmarked in March after putting it off for years! I cannot wait another few years for the next books 😭

I loved this video because you also verbally react to what you're reading the same way I do lol. It's nice to see another reader do that as a way of processing what you're reading.

Legendborn is like top 3 favorite books of all time for me! I loved this vlog & I’m so glad you liked it! I loved hearing your thoughts. As a Southern Black American, I have never felt so seen in a book before & I was so curious if Black non-Americans felt the same way so I loved hearing you talk about that aspect as well. I am v inspired to read the books I’m afraid of now starting w priory 😅❤️💙

I have been waiting for this video, yeeesss !! (Feeling v called out with the obsession starting with Merlin but also so true, what a SHOW...and yes OUAT was bad but I still turn to it as a comfort show :") )...anyway, I loved hearing your thoughts on this as you read! I agree, I think both the legendborn books are so well written and they both still live rent free in my head...genuinely one of my all time favourite fantasy series! I am so glad you loved the book and can't wait to hear what you think on bloodmarked!

You should read the FIREBORN trilogy! It's so amazing I was surprised by how good it was! ( Btw I'm not talking about Fireborne, I'm talking about Fireborn without the e lol 😂)
