Finally a booktuber who doesn't read about 100 books per year, it's nice to have someone we can identify with

I really liked The Gilded Wolves! I admit the magic system is hard to understand, but the characters carried the story for me! And yesss, Zofia and Enrique are my favourites from this book too!

I was going to sleep when the video appeared, where I live is almost 4 am. But it's always worth watching your videos. Arrive here looking for videos of people speaking Dutch and end up delighted with your videos. I have already read some and I have my list for this new year.

I've heard that the gilded wolves revolve around diverse characters, one of them coming from the Philippines. I just want to say that it's so great that you loved that book! I'm Dutch too but from the Philippines hahaha. Love lots! ❤️

Brave New World is actually a dystopia. And yet it perfectly describes present society. My god what a man, what foresight.

By the way if you want to see a debate arguing which book ( Brave New World or 1984) better predicted present society, you should watch this video. There are even scenes from each book occasionally acted out by real actors. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lGd5yZeiqneajaw

I *kinda* stopped reading around 2017-2019 as well and it went real downhill for me. I remember ending 2017 unsatisfactorily only having read 6 books and I hated myself because I usually wrap the year up with 30-40 books. But right before 2019 ended I fell back into reading and things have sudddenly been better since. Massive reading slumps are such a downer aren't they? 🙄

Your thoughts on Crooked Kingdom, I still hope I will enjoy it (knowing I lean towards how the story is synthesized). I bought Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and I have not read them yet. 👑😅 Wow 40 books is a lot. 👍👌When you said a lot of folks felt disappointed about the next book that you will talk about, I knew you will say Gilded Wolves. I am excited to read Aru Shah series. 👍

I loved the Gilded Wolves and it was one of my favorite reads of 2019 as well! I thought the characters were wonderful. The diversity wasn't just thrown in for the sake of diversity. It felt relevant to each of the character's personalities. I am so sad that Silvered Serpents isn't coming out until September! By the end of the book I actually really started to like Severin. He has so much room for character development so I'm intrigued.

I forgot what was with the ending of The Children of Blood and Bone that made me rage, but there was something she did to turn the story into a series which I hated. It was good though, I gave it 3 stars. I actually enjoyed Inaan a lot in the first half, before that romantic arc.
