Zeus sounds like he's says HEE haw like a donkey when he meows 😹

Love this series :) ❤ Your cats are SO GORGEOUS! what are their names? (Apologies if mentioned, must have missed)

When are we going to get more about Orilium?

💛

Your pigtails are so cute! I’m also in a slump, haven’t read much of anything since the beginning of the month 😅

This is so complicated! I love it! 😂

I hate that I'm just finding this a year later ;-; I would've loved it so much

❤❤❤

The way I gasped when the foxes showed!!!! I would love to see one irl, but two in basically your backyard?! That's amazing! And I absolutly love this series with just slice of life bookish vlogs. It really motivates me to read more too

I really loved Oona!

Books, cats, and beautiful Scotland scenery. Sign me up! 🥰 Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎁🎊

Did I miss the announcement where we’re not doing the Oriliium Academy readathon in August? I’ve been waiting for the announcement video but I see this.

I had the same experience with both City of Nightmares and Some Desperate Glory 😬 Love this video series ❤

Ooo the waterfall is so nice!!

Happy Birthday!! I just got my bookmarks from you and I love them so much, and now a vlog?! Today is a treat. <3 <3

the music and the roll of the die is still my favorite part, but never gonna knock a good soup/kitchen moment ;)

I hope you enjoy the girl from the other side. the english hardback version is gorgeous.

Ive also been slumping, it's not fun!

Are we swapping the August and September in the year long Orillium challenge?

I really want to read Emily Wilde! Probably only next year if I'm being realistic 😂

Not me constantly checking for the readathon prompts during the weekend just to catch the info of rescheduling while rewatching the video ;) Just a question - does that mean that the prompt for August would be the one originally written for September (for the yearly map thingy)?

3:25 what's the brand of your t-shirt in this clip? it looks really cool!

I absolutely adore this video series. Is it my DnD hyperfixation? Book hyperfixation? The world may never know. But I love it.

Maybe I missed it, but where do the participants "book" their read pages and books? I've heard you say it a couple of times and I'm a little confused.

I love this video! I feel like we have similar reading tastes, as one of my faves is The Name of the Wind, but I also like a lot of others you like! Out of your haul, I have read The Bandit Queens (LOVED, I don’t know if you keep up with the women’s prize for fiction, but it was long listed last year, so not that random! I hope you love it. It’s got everything!), The Centre which I enjoyed, and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World, which is by one of my favourite authors. Have you read anything by Elif Shafak before?

Damn, that's a good book haul. I would love to see a video about your favorite speculative fiction books. And I can't wait for the reviews of all these books 😊

Hello i found your CAWPILE rating through Jashi Corrin and Erin Smith. I am not using a spreadsheet. But i am interested in determining 1/2 stars. Do you have a guide as per your previous videos where you list 0-1 no stars etc?

Added several of these to my tbr 😊

Thank you for these recommendations. I’ve added pretty much all of them to my wish list and am looking forward to discovering some new authors. Favourite book of the year is a draw between Circe and The Eye of the World (which I’m only a quarter of the way through but loving so far). Worst book was Time Travellers Wife as it was such a let down and made me feel so uncomfortable in parts.

Bandit queens sounds like Finlay donnovan is killing it lol but ethnic

I really enjoyed The Bandit Queens I hope you like it!

Hi. Is there still a discord server?

Just started Wayfarers, loving it Best book so far: All that's left in the world. Disappointment: How to be autistic.

*stares into the distance because three of my series have more than 60 books and I don't want to deal with changing the spreadsheet*

Book Lovers is the only EH I have yet to read. I personally LOVED Happy Place but it's pretty polarizing. I thought it was really emotional and raw and I think it's best fitting for people who can relate maybe? If you've been through a dark time when you weren't necessarily being rational and communicating well, then you will understand where these characters are coming from. Otherwise, it might come off as a bad miscommunication trope. Hope that makes sense and helps some.

My favorites so far are One dark window and its sequel Two twisted crowns. My most disappointing is Yellowface, which I DNFed! I did not care for the storyline or main character at all!

This spreadsheet is unbelievably helpful! Really appreciate the addition of the nonfiction ranking categories, too. Thank you so, so much for all of the work you've put into this 🙏

My favourite was The Bookbinder of Oxford by Pip Williams. I simply love Pip Williams‘ characters and writing style. My disappointing book was When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro. I’m not sure if it’s an issue of me or the book, but I felt like it could have been an interesting „unreliable narrator“ type of story, but ended up just being absurd and nonsensical.

I‘m so excited to hear your thoughts after reading all of them, they sounded super intriguing!
