SPOILER ALERT FOR THE MAZE RUNNER WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SOME OF THEM ARE IMMUNE, SOME OF THEM ARE NOT, SHE PULLED UP NEWT. LIKE NO WAYYYYY. IM DEPRESSED NOW LOL

I got into reading again because of my new ereader! physical books are so impractical to me. i love reading but i rarely did because i hated carrying (even more) books with me and because i hate holding a book while lying down. To me it is super super important that the ereader has physical buttons, for the exact reasons that you mentioned: the touchscreen sucks. its not a bad thing necessarily, it is just the nature of current e-ink technology (that is also affordable). the only reason why companies stop implementing buttons is because buttons are more expensive to produce, making ereaders super impractical. *that* i have a problem with, because e-ink screens still suck! so i got the Pocketbook Verse pro version. it utilises both touch screen and physical buttons. i hate it when it turns the page when i accidentally tap the screen. other stuff: - accessibility features like dyslexia font, big letters, and text to speech - audiobooks - built in dictionary. literally just press and hold a word and it can look it up for you

Hiii I don't know if you buy second hand books but if so then where do you buy them here in the Netherlands? Physical shops or online Thank youuuu

I'm a reader, watcher, listener, lifelong learner, and cat fancier. Your accent is pleasant.

Loved it. More of these types of videos please.

I love Bride so much. It’s such an easy read

I feel like for someone who has never read The Maze Runner it might seem like a really dumb book where the scientist are all just idiots but when you actually read it it makes a lot of sense and is actually really good. It’s also important to note that they already live in an apocalyptic world before this disease came out so they barely had anything left of humanity and were really desperate. (The purpose of the trials is to try and find a cure)

As an argentine I love the international success that Mariana Enríquez has earned these last years! I would also recommend Samantha Schweblin, another great writer from our country with great short stories and nouvelles.

the trope where the girl has like never had a boyfriend and the guy is sleeping around on the daily. i can only read so many books with this trope😭

Okay here’s what we really want to know. What did you do with your tea?

i love the husband stitch, but honestly i would recommend evey single story in her body and other parties. carmen maria machado is amazing

Lifeline by Robert Heinlein is one that sticks with me and I really enjoyed it.

You look a lot like the Ace of Base singer. It is uncanny.

The cat who saved books is a great book!

You should read the giver, it’s one of the best books I’ve read. It’s impeccable writing and emotionally one of the richest books I’ve read.

The Saria's Song remix you have at the end of each video is so nice!

Being abe to download a sample of a book from the kindle store before you decide if you want to buy it is nice as well, in my opinion. Replacing your physical library with an e copy is an added cost for sure, put people off. Integration with goodreads is a consideration as well. Great video, thank you for sharing.

If only you knew Suzanne Collins would be releasing a new THG book and movie within the next year or two 😭

i literally jumped when she said loz fan my people oml

I wonder if all these "best selling" authors would feel embarrassed how a tentacle monster is a more decent and respectful human being than the actual human male characters they write in their "romance" books

This was a painful watch. Good job you’re a solider for putting yourself through this.

I tried getting a Kindle some years ago, but it didn't work for me. I think it was also that I wasn't actually in a phase of my life I did so much reading, but now that I have been reading heavily for two years, I am actually running out of space for physical books. And I'm not the kind of person who reads one book at a time, or only keeps the one currently being read; if I own a book and liked it, I will want to keep it. However much I enjoy books as physical objects, how they look, feel, and handle, my main love is for the text they contain, and so I will consider getting an e-reader at some point - though I am conscious of the fact that you can get a decent bookshelf for the same as a Kindle costs. At the moment, I still have a lot of books to read first since I've been buying them faster than I've been reading them. Naturally. It's important to have a decent selection when you finish a book so that you'll have exactly the kind of book you feel like reading next already in your bookshelf.

If your hair is not hot-pink and your girlfriend is not from high-end of your city and got you out of jail to find your sister - you have no right to call your girlfriend "cupcake".

You know what is great about ebook readers. MARKING things. Yup, Marking, leaving notes... great for research. I do read non fiction on my kobo and I use it to make sections that I want to look into.

I was so suprised that ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’ by Roald Dahl was not on the list. I am an English teacher, and it feels like am reading it all the time 😂 Also a story with an unhinged woman 😅

I don't want to be alone, Leonie :/

The cask of amontillado is still engraved in my brain

sometimes there's a certain thing that just scratches an itch in your brain, & that's what determines your taste. i don't think it's useful in any way to judge people for their taste in books -- not least because it actually discourages reading. i also think it's very narrow-minded to think that people will only ever read one specific type of book, not only are people much more complex than that but no matter the trope there are not an infinite amount of books catering to it. unfortunately i feel like this is purely online discourse like everything else.

I’m so curious to watch this and gain a different perspective because to be honest, I really disliked the film. It just feel completely flat for me, even more so than the last mockingjay movie which was my least favourite of the book instalments. It felt like the lost all of the rawness, pacing and maturity that The Hunger Games and Catching Fire had.

If you're enjoying that concept of an infection that leaves ppl with some magical power and also that they are then kind of shunned in society because of it, Marie Lu's The Young Elites trilogy has the same thing! It is YA, but cool world building, and I think you might enjoy kind of morally gray-ish main character and her character arc over the whole trilogy. The ending of the trilogy hit me hard

I was so happy to see you read The Paper Menagerie. The entire collection is one of my favorite books of all time, and ever since you mentioned how much you enjoyed Story of your life and others, I kept thinking that you would probably love this one too!

My favorite short stories are Sabrina and Corina & The Story of Your Life 😊

saying this as a girl who was obssessed with the maze runner as a preteen, the true ranking of the maze runner is "nice decor". is just an action/apocalypse story with teens that happens to be in an dystopian scenario, but in the end is just post apocalyptic action

the use of schizophrenic hallucinations is done in such a wrong way....schizophrenia is more than "hearing voices"...the lack of research on mental illness is so insensitive.

5:00 sometimes I wonder if people who write these "disguises" are, like me, faceblind or at least adjacent to that Because to be completely real, if my best friend coloured their hair and wore slightly different clothes I'd not recognize them, heck, my mom could colour her hair and I'd not recognize her if I didn't know she'd do it

It's always cringe as I reading an old romantic novels that was made in the 80s and 90s brought by my mom.

off topic, but are you going to read the new all for the games book?

A lot can go wrong it seems: first impressions in 1 and a half minute

You should checkout my books. Anyway neat video. ❤

The only character u can ever approve of using the nickname "Cupcake" is Vi and Caitlyn😂

That article sound jealous tbfh. It sounds like how an insecure teenager would describe “that girl”

For me it would have to be The Night Face Up by Julio Cortazar....it was unexpected to day the least

Why in every one of these books is ‘the world’ just a random US city or parts of North America centred around US?

Not the teletubbies reference 😂

N sei como traduz esse título, mas não sai da minha cabeça "Fina Estampa" 😂😂

somth i wanna read: fantasy that is PRIMARILY fantasy, but does have romance, just that it doesnt take up the main plot. kind of like a side dish to the main course, ig. same concept for scifi.

The Husband Stitch honestly kind of rocked me. I felt like it was kind of heavy handed at first… but then the end just made me feel so sick with it’s insidiousness. It was really the perfect short story.

A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones and Fire and Blood/House of the Dragon have so many love triangles. Ned Stark < - > Catelyn Tully < - > Brandon Stark Ned Stark - > Ashara Dayne < - Brandon Stark Ned Stark < - > Catelyn Tully < - Petyr Baelish < - Lysa Tully < - Jon Arryn Elia Martell < - > Rhaegar Targaryen - > Lyanna Stark < - Robert Baratheon Robert Baratheon - Cersei Lannister < - > Jaime Lannister Tywin Lannister < - > Joanna Lannister < - Aerys Targaryen Craster - Gilly < - > Sam Tarly Tristiffer Botley - > Asha Greyjoy < - Carl the maid Visenya Targaryen - Aegon I Targaryen < - > Rhaenys Targaryen Baela Targaryen < - > Alyn 'Oakenfist' Velaryon < - > Eleana Targaryen Laena Velaryon < - > Daemon Targaryen < - > Rhaenyra Targaryen < - > Laena Velaryon Daenerys has: Viserys Targaryen, Jorah Mormont, Khal Drogo, Xaro Xhoan Daxos, Hizdahr Zo Loraq, Quenten Martell, Victarion Greyjoy, and Euron Greyjoy. And in the show GOT you also have: Jon Snow < - > Ygritte < - Orell And there are probably more that I'm forgetting.

The Paper Menagerie made me CRY when I first read it. It's definitely the best short story I've ever read :')

Table for 1 😂😂 so tiring
