♥ this was a fun video. Your family looks like they had a lot of fun at the game, I like Siri picking how many pages to read a day. It mixes it up and may push you to read more. I haven't personally done a siri challenge, but right now I am challenging myself to read 75-100 pages a day. Kinda in a reading slump this past few weeks

I can understand why you’re scared of Iron Flame and it won’t live up to fourth wing but it’s still a great book. If you go into it knowing it’s a middle book that furthers the plot and sets the story up for the next three books then you will probably like it much better. My only advise is don’t rush through it like I did and really take your time this will make it even more enjoyable.

Not me almost tearing up about your story with your day🥺 Also I liked It Ends With Us, I feel like it was the perfect representation of how a relationship can progress into an abusive relationship without realizing and then all the complications that go with it. The thing I didn’t like is that this book is marketed as a romance and the back of the book makes it seem like a rom com love triangle when that’s clearly not what it is.

The only channel where I can get book and jammie recs 😂 Unfortunately, I'm in the group struggle bussing with Lightlark. I can't put my finger on it because surface level the story should be intriguing, but I just can't connect with the characters. My only guess is that it's more YA than I've been reading recently. But I'm letting the audiobook do the heavy lifting for me while I leisurely enjoy my other read 😊❤

I am glad that you liked Red Queen. I gave it 5 stars when I read it about 5 years ago, but then I went to reread it this year so I could continue the series and ended up DNFing because I am realizing I just can't do some YA anymore. Also, I discovered that I can concentrate better when reading if I am listening to ambiance.

Finished it on sprints last night - it was ooooook, which is kind of just how I feel about Sager's books in general so far. Kind of underwhelming, but not horrible! Gave it 4 stars on GoodReads because I do find his writing very easy to read 🙂

I’m here for your thoughts on Lightlark! I’m actually one of the customers who canceled my pre-order, following the marketing of this book and the author’s bragging tone of voice in posts.

Ehh I'm honestly struggling on & off with it still but I'm only like 30% of the way through.

Loved this challenge ❤ Also..."Nora goes off Strip" 😂 love that you keep the slip ups in the videos. How did you find the audiobook experience? Ive always got one on the go and love seeing others start out. I do find though that a lot of your enjoyment will come down to the narrator and not just the content of the book itself. ❤❤
@sheisbookedandbusy2 күн бұрын
I'm so glad you liked it! 💘 Nora Goes Off Strip would certainly be an interesting read! Ok, so here's my take on audiobooks: I definitely understand that they're awesome for productivity reasons, right? Like I literally drove around, grocery shopped, did laundry, loaded my dishwasher, cooked dinner, etc, & accomplished so much of my book! However, I definitely don't think I prefer it to actually reading the book...I think I absorb the stories & connect to the character more when I'm physically reading, so I think for me, audiobooks will be more for little "fluffy" reads that I don't want to focus on as much...if that makes sense? & I can 100% see where the narrator can make a HUGE difference. I actually didn't completely loooove the narrator for Catching Fire & found myself getting a little bit irritated with her voice sometimes.
@_emily_89002 күн бұрын
@sheisbookedandbusy I completely understand that. I usually have a non-fiction/Memoir audiobook if I'm doing chores or at the gym. Sometimes I will listen to fantasies but there when I'm in my puzzle/drawing phase that doesn't require much concentration so I don't miss any information or world-building.

Here’s the two Books I’d recommend If try this challenge as a Staring Point I’ll give you two 1. The cat who came to breakfast 2. The cat who said cheese Both by Lilian Jackson Braun . I’ve read and enjoyed both multiple times . Hope like the idea and hope you try in the future if you do could give my channel a shout out please and thank my bro and I are trying to get out subscribers up . Have wonderful day .
