My disappointment in the lack of dinosaurs in a book with dinosaurs on the cover was my biggest gripe for the book haha!

"Jane is GaGa" hahahahah best description ever!

I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed An Education in Malice as much as I did (not quite 5 stars) because you're not wrong with your assessment 😆 But I think probably a big reason I did is that I didn't read the synopsis beforehand, that I can remember (it certainly didn't stick with me) and also because I read Carmilla a little bit before it and didn't really care for it oops! Having the memory of a millipede with synopses is sometimes to my benefit 🤣

I love the wayward children books. There are some I like more than others, but overall I'm always super pumped to be back in the worlds with them, and even if it's one I didn't like as much, I still love it? Does that even make sense? Lol Also new Nigeria county sounds fantastic. What have I been reading? I've read a few YA dystopian books and I just read Emily wildest encyclopaedia of fairies which was just an absolute delight! And the frugal wizards handbook to surviving medieval England and it was pretty funny!

Sugar baby sounds so good 👀

Yay for Diviners reread. :) I hope you'll like (or already liked) the finale!

I think a lot of people were disappointed in the lack of dinosaurs in Mislaid in Parts Half Known

That satirical book sounds so hilarious 😂 I didn’t know Tik tok content creators are getting book deals. That’s actually super cool to see their comedic “shtick” get a narrative like with a book 😮

I SPY CHANGING HANDS!!!!!!

I felt similarly about Nettle & Bone. I didn't DISlike it, but it just didn't stick with me or really grab my interest all that much. Just super "meh" 🤷‍♀

2:58 so dang dreamy 😍

0:54 oh this looks so dang cool!

A "vaguley boring school setting" - ouch. 😅 100% agree on the Changeling! I had no idea it was a TV show now, too. Hope your June reading is go well!

A wonderful video, as always. I love the duck intro. However, I was waiting for the snow plot-twist. :D

I swear you live in like a fairytale village 😩 so gorgeous

0:47 Red leaves in April? 🤔

Delightful 🥰🥰

💚🌻

Eeeee your intro is so pretty! And I just love your backdrop. So many pretty flowers everywhere and that painting!! I was equally disappointed with An Education in Malice. I am absolutely obsessed with Carmilla (OBSESSEDDDDDD) after reading it this February and this was such a let down ugh. I had read two other creative retellings of the book right before and this one was the epitome of the “wah wah waaaaaaah” sound 😂 I DNFed it 25% in. Ooo you would totally love alone Women by Victor LaValle. The kind of historical fiction that I love with a dash of supernatural and wonderfully diverse representation. It made my history teacher heart SO happy. And I cried at the end 🥲

Ooooh I'm glad you want to be able to absorb a psalm for the wild-built better! I loooooooved that book and its sequel soooooo much

I hate it when books basically lie in the blurbs/synopsis! Have you read the night circus? And the blurb on the back of the book? Lies. All lies. Luckily I didn't even read the back before reading it, I just bought it and read it because of two people raving about it, and it's one of my very favourite books! But if I had read the synopsis first, I might have been disappointed! Or! Have you seen Wicker Park? Have you seen the trailer? Lies! LIES! that one though, I ended up loving even though it was not at all what I was expecting

Love your book reviews! I realized I should probably comment more instead of watching silently so you don't ever stop uploading lol. I haven't read any of these but def put a lot of them on my tbr

I still need to read Uprooted 😩 it’s been on my TBR forEVER

Uprooted was a little bit disappointing to me because the first maybe 1/3rd of the book was really good and really gripping, but as we get further into the story and more plot starts getting added, it felt very diluted to me, like it wasn’t that well thought out. And I loved the Falconer when it was still pretty new, and I read the next 2 books right away and I was really disappointed. I felt like the first one was really fast-paced and then the next two really dragged, and I was bored.

Mediocre? Oop

Catching up on my Watch Later playlist so I'm aware I'm so late to commenting on this lol! BUT, I had no idea What Moves the Dead has a sequel?!?! Loved that book so I gotta pick the next one up !

I love your vlogs! I must say, you are one of the few people I subscribed to way back in the day who I'm always still excited to see videos from. I love all your book lists and goals! I hope it's making reading extra fun for you. I love the little baking parts of your videos. Your picnic looked so cute and fun!! Yay! Residence permit acceptance! SNAIL!! AAHH SO CUTE aw gaming with friends, so fun! I got PS plus recently so I can play games online with my friend from work! I've never had a friend to play online with before so it's extra fun haha. Although a lot of the games we were planning on playing together are LOCAL two player only! Like wtf!! So disappointing lol. But we started playing a co-op game called a way out and you have to escape from prison in it! It's fun. Oooh mystery supper! So fun! Okay what am I up to? I'm getting my new book ready for publishing! It's based on a skit series I did on tiktok! (My first ever fiction skit series that did decently, but all the people who watched it really loved it, so that's fun and exciting) my friend who does my covers just finished the cover yesterday and it's so cool looking and so I've been putting the cover and bookmark together. I'm getting my physical proof this week, I'm so excited! I might film a vlog this weekend. I haven't done a vlog in so long and I'm going to a festival and also selling my books this weekend so it might be fun Sorry for the novel! Haha

Happy Pride Month! And thank you for another wonderful update, love these. ❤✨

I always love your vlogs-style videos. You have such a great style to them that makes me super invested in what’s going on.

7:00 IF ANYONE KNOWS ... BRATWURST IM SCHLAFROCK ( = SLEEPING GOWN ) is the classical term.

🐣

Okay wait a casual castle sunset watch??? 😮😮😍😍 so epic! Also did I miss you stating in a video where you live? I’m thinking Europe?? I’m so impressed how much choice reading you can get to while a student!! I could barely handle the student load with my Bach degree but then again, I was a child 😂 My masters in US history though was still so damn reading heavy! Wait that mystery meal app is a BRILLIANT idea oh my gosh! 😮

Congrats on that phone call lol that would have terrified me! Would love to know how you learned German!

Looks like you had a lovely week. I miss those days with the sunshine. xD I feel like it has been raining for so long now! Also congrats that you finally got the Aufenthaltsstatus settled! How exciting. :)

Yay! So exciting your residency permit was approved 🎉

The Diviners is such a good audiobook read! I really want to read My Roommate is a Vampire as it sounds just campy and fun!

Germany must protect the manufacture of it's traditional breads! - The best in the world!

I'm so glad you finally got to go home and see your family in March. :)

I love the flowers 😩😩

So much lovely spring energy! Nature, road trips and yummy foods 😍

🥰🥰

Hope you’re enjoying it still!

So glad you got back into the Diviners and I hope you'll get to finish the series (or maybe even did by now). I was really surprised how much of the horrible stuff especially concerning race from the 1920s were in the series and integrated into the plot.

It really makes me happy that you say “welcome in”. 😊

I love the diviners 😩

I love that you have such a particular style of book that you tend to reach for. I should have guessed that you’d love What Moves the Dead and What Feasts at Night (I haven’t read the 2nd one but I’ve been working my way through T Kingfisher’s entire canon)

I haven't been rereading books, but I picked up the throne of glass books again to continue with the series, and I before now, the last book I read in the series was over 7 years ago I'm sure lol. So that's fun. I also read wither which was super popular when booktube was newish and dystopian books were all the rage, so that was also fun lol. Even though I hadn't read it before, it felt nostalgic. I remember trying to read the diviners a long time ago when it had first come out and I hated it haha so I never finished it, but I wonder if I would feel differently about it if I read it now

The secret is every day fresh. We are the fresh makers😂

10:45 The only games that I've been playing is Sims, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and Fortnite. Hopefully I'll finally play one of my many other games and stop with my defaults

Thanks for sharing this. We’ve been contemplating relocating to Germany and this is so helpful.
