Piranesi is the best!!!!

Eid Mubarak 💞

Eid mubarak to you brother

Piranesi is AMAZING. It's the most mind-twisting book I've ever read. I can't stop thinking about it.

Piranesi is my favorite book so far too. 📖❤️

Do try Thirteen Problems...I'm saying this because I've never heard from someone who's read it and I really loved it 🖤

Agree, but doesn't that throw a shadow of doubt on the other reviews she does? I'm totally new to the booktube thing and I haven't read books recommended by these people, but now that I have (the kingdom of little wounds) and seeing how they miss the point makes me doubt their judgment so much... ah well, I guess I'll have to try and read one of the books that they do like and see how it goes.

@@Liriodelagua If you don't mind, what was the point of that book?

@@Hungarycloud Uf, I knew this was coming. Well, this may sound cheap, a cop out? as it comes from the author herself, but the tale is centered around actors and details and things that are not normally talked about but that do form part of a world, any world. Say, do you know who made harry potters wand? No (afaik), he just buys it. Here the queen's clothes break and there is a detailed description, relevant to the story on how that hole in her clothes is fixed. How many characters that you read go to the toilette? We have a story here where that is part of a character's fate or ending. And it's not to be gross just for the sake of it, and this is where Emma fails, the whole book revolves around the hidden, the not spoken about, the characters that in other stories are invisible. This is being coherent and is present in the whole book. It's so big that people don't see it? Did you read the book? I assume so, this comment won't make sense otherwise. The syphillis thing creates atmosphere and develops characters (using it as part of a court intrigue was brilliant; Robin Hobb should takes notes and not send Fitz off on zombie cleaning duty, ffs). Also, it has present time relevancy... remember hearing the words "chinese virus"? And it's a disease, I wouldn't talk about it in negative terms. Anyways, those are my thoughts. It sounds like I'm attacking Emma, but I'm kinda frustrated she doesn't value this type of stories that are, imo, different from the vast majority. I guess she could be described as a cottage core woman and this book is shitting yourself to death because you can't be gay.

@@Liriodelagua girl wtf

@@selina6107 The comment won't make sense unless you've read the book. Also, I'm a dude.

Isn’t that the best feeling? 💛

@@khalilahd. It really is😄. Okay shshsh🤫 I’m reading broken wings by Gibran Khalil Gibran lol

Same 💛

@@khalilahd. hey Khalilah good to see you again! 🥰

x2

Oh my god same 🥲

so you don't feel force to read by your own guilt, try to find an easy short book that you don't need a lot of brain to finish. For me, bcuz my goal is to focus more on classics this year, after every thick classic i read, i sneak in one romace book or a poetry collection. It's like a break but my reading streak is still going. So i dont fall back into a long reading slump. even tho some books i found were really dumb lol. Find your comfort genre and use that.

@@ipig2379 that’s such a good suggestion, i was going to say something similar !!

@@ipig2379 that’s actually an awesome advice! I will definitely be trying it out soon. It’s also a great motivation to sort out my shelves, I’m sure it’ll spark the will to read as well 🌸 thank you so much for your reply ⭐️

@@ipig2379 I sort of do this too! Usually I am reading 2 or 3 books at once. Sometimes an audiobook (i listen during work lol), one easy read that will take a couple days, and one challenging read that will take a couple of weeks or even more. I found that this is my perfect recipe for avoiding slumps because even when I get into one, I have at least one book to fall back on

I had NO IDEA he lived that close, maybe I'll consider finding this museum haha, thank you for telling me!

thank you!! (it's very cozy)

ah that's amazing, what are you studying? I hope everything goes wonderfully for you, you've got this

awe no thank you for watching!

thank you so much

My favourite read when I was at school

For some reason or other I expected so much more from Rebecca. Something like Shirley Jackson ' s " Haunting of the Hill House" . Interesting to know how it was with you

ah I read the first one so long ago but I still can't wait to get to the second one - of the best YA I've read in so long!!

I read 28 Lol, i thought this was normal, guess i should get a life

@@johanliebert375 you read almost a book per day... How many pages were the books on average?

i was literally just saying this to myself i really need to make more time for myself

@@sen7826 on average I'd say around 250 pages

@@johanliebert375 I’m really sorry if this sounds rude but where do you get that time from????

amazing!! what were they??

@@emmiereads Adrift on the Nile for Naguib Mahfouz The cave for José Sarmago Sayyidina Al Farouq Omar for Mohammed Hussien Hiekal And the last one was "Kalila and Dimna". All was in Arabic.✨❤️

ah is that the one with Charles Dance?

@@emmiereads yes! It’s got the most star-studded cast basically, almost all of them are very renowned British actors and did a phantastic job 👌🏻

Yesss! I’ve never liked any of the adaptations of Christie’s books since Suchet’s series but I gotta admit, that one’s solid

ah amazing, I was just considering giving it a reread!

it's so nice to meet you! I'm so glad
