Can you imagine someone having a video titled, "White Authors Only"?! It's appalling how racism is not just accepted from one side, but celebrated.
💚💚💚
Oh I got to see the science museum while I was in London!! Not that exhibit but it was a fun museum. Obsessed that Cocaine Bear is a great movie. I can't wait to read you're not supposed to die tonight next month! Not you with the Barbie tea 😂😂 The turtle 😭😭 who fears death sounds so good!!
Who Fears Death sounds so so interesting! Hannah hits the mark once again, no one is surprised!
Ooo, Kalynn Bayron – loved Cinderella is Dead and have wanted to start the Poison Heart series for a while. Also Nnedi Okorafor is another author on my tbr – have Binti on my kindle. Great books from your subscription! I’ve never been to The Globe but seeing a play there sounds fantastic – bucket list for sure. I like the Pukka three mint tea! One of the best books I’ve read this year the final book in the Daevabad trilogy (though I loved the whole trilogy!) by SA. Chakraborty – fantasy at its finest! Lovely vlog ❤
One of the faves I’ve read this year is definitely Red Rising. And I’m so glad I loved it. 🙂
Great review. I love your excitement. I have yet to try one of her books or Jemison's work. Fantasy is not my genre of choice, but I'm going to try both of them. Thx
I’m going to post these recs on our readathon discord! We need more horror and thriller recs 😍
I loved Barbie, I watched it twice and cried both times lol but I understand what you mean.
I want to watch Cocaine Bear.
Yay I’m glad you enjoyed your books!
That exhibit looks so cool!
I watched Cocaine Bear in the cinema and LOVED it, it was so much fun and has quickly become one of my favourite silly movies to watch! Also that Science Musuem exhibit looked amazing and makes me regret never going in, we usually stick to the Natural History Museum for some reason 😂 So glad you loved both of the books, I'll have to check out You're Not Supposed To Die Tonight, it sounds right up my alley!
I’ve got You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight on for Gothtober tbr! Dunno if I told you on Ig lol
There's nothing better than that feeling when a book ticks all your boxes and feels like it was written just for you! I'm glad you found another one of those!
Halfway through the vlog I already bought 2 books…you're getting me so broke and happy😅
I love Who Fears Death!
And You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron is my next read!
It's great you enjoyed Who Fears Death, I'm definitely putting it on my tbr!
I agree about Barbie – it felt like the film wasn't super sure what it wanted to do/wanted to be a million different things at once. Perhaps if it could have gone more in-depth on the feminism it might have felt properly meaningful. Ryan Gosling was hilarious though and I'm still thinking about him shouting 'Sublime'😂.
One of the best books I've read this year is Top Marks for Murder by Robin Stevens, another great instalment in my favourite middle-grade mystery series!
Yay that the books worked out so well for you! Cynthia @BookWhimsy loves Who Fears Death a ton too, so I'm not surprised it was such a great read for you.
Always the best reading vlogs… beautiful b roll, books I always want to buy and TEEEEEA!!!! 😍☕️🫖 A best book I have so far this year… All The Houses I've Ever Lived In: Finding Home in a System that Fails Us by Kieran Yates. It’s a non fiction I finished recently and gave 5 stars to ❤(on scribd if you have it)
This was so much fun. I loved seeing the pictures of your sister and her partner.
You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight sounds good if only I were able to stomach horror 😂 I especially enjoyed the Amsterdam footage, looked really cool :- )
💛💛💛
🙂
oh my, the stage setup for The Crucible!! Amsterdam looks so gorgeous as well, it’s really lovely to come along on these adventures with you and see you and Simone out and about. congrats to your other sister, she’s glowing! I’m going to hunt down that Pukka Cleanse tea and report back. glad you loved your Waypoint books ♥️
Okay, consider me SOLD on Who Fears Death 😄😄 and Waypoint Books is such a great concept!
Thanks for the reccs. Big Doctor Who can here- wow you've have wonderful experiences.
Who Fears Death was good. Unique plot for sure. There is a prequel if you are interested too. Your sister is beautiful, just like you. Congrats to her. You are globe/location trotting and exploring the arts. great.
Every compliment to Who Fears Death makes my heart SOAR! That you love it so much makes me so happy
