I love Gideon, so tough and badass, but also has limits
It’s an amazing book. Could have been a bit shorter bc Wilde had several filler pages in the novel, but all in all the book is extremely good and the social commentary is even better. Written in the 19th century and it still applies to today’s society. Eerie, scary yet intriguing at the same time.
Black owned? Why throw that in?
😂 I've been thinking about reading that one but I'm scared lol
I loved this book so much! It's definitely a book for book lovers!
Ok. I tried listening to poetry, yep…game changer ❤
oh no
So glad to find that I'm not the only one! I love Libby, and use it all the time, but if I had a dime for every time I never finished a book... I will also renew a book over and over and OVER, and STILL never finish! Lol, terrible. 🤦🏻♀️
Exactly!! I had three holds lapse this week and I was somehow about 40% into each of them 🫠 who knows if I’ll ever finish them lol
Thank you♥️♥️
But it's not just Bill who's going to pay the price for rescuing Sarah from the convent. His decision will also likely doom his family business, destroy his five daughters' educational future and standing in the community, as make the whole Furlong family social outcasts. But what else could he do? He has to be able to live with himself. He's in a situation with no easy solution.
I suggest to read "Tigran Petrosian his life and his games" (a little of changing the types of books)
The thing is I loved Basil’s character! He was trying to keep Dorian away from Lord Henry because he knew Lord Henry would be a bad influence on Dorian. I love this story because I’m the more shy and innocent of my friend group and they go out and drink and party and I don’t and they are constantly trying to pull me into their party lifestyle and I have several friends who are like Basil in the sense that they always tell me you don’t need to party to have fun! And they always tell me to stay innocent and not fall into the wrong crowd. I think the book is an excellent example of how the people you surround yourself with do have an impact on your life and can affect you and the more you hang around with partiers the more likely you are to slowly become one yourself! Sorry for the long comment! I just love this book 😂
Beach read number 1! Yeahhhh
It literally fills me with so much joy. You go Gideon 🙏🙏🎉
I am going to start a reading journal this year (started reading again last year) and I think I will go with one journal for a few years: - A few pages for the index - 4 pages for the yearly overview (stats, reading goals, favourite book of the year) - one page for each book I read in the year filled with stickers, starting and finishing date, author, title, quotes,... - then again the 4 pages for the new year
DO A SPOILER ONE
So much subtext in that book and the editor really thought they were slick with it lol
This is exactly my ranking, holy crap?!
YES! Low maintenance .... someone who speaks my language. Thank you. Subscribed.
i just finished erading it and its the most bad novel i read .
Could I ask you why ? I just finished reading it and I’m looking for more insights and different perspectives of the book ?
sure , a thoght the idea was better put in less pages because there wass alot of filling pages with no need , so it should be shortened .. also i didnt like the charechter of dorian gray himself he was shallow .. what kind of a man gets obsesst with his look! u should be obsest with ur achivmintes .. im sorry i could go on in explaining but my english is not so advanced :( and i read the novel translated to arabic .. but im more than happy if i helped u <3@@Miaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i thought*
Its a pretty short book, and the whole point is that him focusing on his looks is bad.@@NA.1995.
agreed@@OliverJ08
I am currently reading it and I am enjoying ❤❤
You look like Cameron Diaz.
Hahahaha YES love Gideon for this
I don't have the second part in my book. Now I love this part even moreee! ><
I am reading happy place now. But my favorite is still book lovers😊
Lmao
Till you read further😢
I'm in 4th chapter. You're scaring me ><
how far have you gotten now?
Immediately add to TBR
A delight
pwmov is like just not a good book
As far as emotional connection, It's probably my fave of hers. 🥺
but what’s the actual plot though lol
To quickly summarize: Via the powers that be (Zeus), this sentient door is able to become human and protect the woman who lives in his apt from her landlord lol
omg just ordered this book and this resonates with me sm as someone with bpd, i cannot wait to read it!
Uh huh
Give the others a chance that was the worst one of all of them
Lord have mercy lol
I was not prepared for this one 😩🤣
@@SarasBookedi will never be reading this thank you 😭
HELP!! I SAW HAPPY PLACE BUT IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE [60 DOLLARS]
*60* DOLLARS-?! :0
@@nyashatheduolingoowl ya 😭😭
I own but it's only 3 dollars in my country It had no damage tho in case you were wondering
Omg that's a lot, in my country it costs 30€
The one at my Costco was 12 dollars
I set of highlights I use and the mildline highlights from zebra they are a pretty penny but they are worth it
Ok thank you!! I kept seeing these and wanting to try them out but wasn’t sure if they were going to be worth it
Excellent video ! Really inspiring and useful. I’m an ooollld lady, former University instructor, and I wish I’d spent more time providing students with a better understanding of annotation. Even and maybe especially after formal education, annotation exponentially increases engagement with a text. Wow. Just wow.
Hey! I am curious to know how did you find chapter 11 it was the only hard to read chapter for me because i was so tired and bored. Like i am sure it took me half the time to read just the chapter 11 as i did on rest of the book
SAME
SAME I TOUGHT I WAS CRAZY THE WHILE END PART OUTSIDE OF THE VERY END WERE SO HARD TO GO TROUGH
@@nefelibata8773 yeah definitely and then in the end it just finished very fast. But it was a nice book anyway
Omg I agree , I literally skipped past most of it , but the ending was too quick indeed 😭😭
I felt like being in a long spiral dream that wouldn't end it was so boring and tiring
You are so cute! ❤
🥰🥰
i currently use storygraph! i wish i could commit to a physical reading journal (some of them are SO pretty) but i am way too forgetful LOL. i just finished an unkindness of ghosts by rivers solomon and it was really good - i'll have to check out the deep!
I love StoryGraph!! An Unkindness of Ghosts is definitely my next Rivers Solomon read ☺️
happy place is sooooo good
did you say trans rights read-a-thon? or am I mistaken?
I read two of her books ( beach read and book lovers)… I hated both ,I don’t get the hype
I didn’t like PWMOV much. Everyone was obsessed with beach read so I gave it a shot and hated it even more. Unfortunately I bought happy place as well and dreading reading it (shouldn’t have bought it). If this doesn’t redeem Emily Henry’s writing for me then I’m done
I read book lovers and it was very meh...
@@ellaontheislandI want to buy beach read, what did you not like about it?
I'm currently reading book lovers (my first book by her) till now it's still lukewarm to me, guess I was expecting much seeing the hype around her books
Just finished Book Lovers (I've now read 3 of the 4 books) and decided Emily Henry is my favourite romance author.
I swear I’m not a stalker, commenting on three videos in a row! I’ve been dealing with an epic reading slump from the middle of May through to now, and it’s also an issue with audiobooks specifically? I normally read most of my books via audio but I just can’t pay attention to any right now, to the point that I’m refraining from rating books because I feel like I didn’t truly read them. It sucks! I hope May got better for you.
Yess! I used to be so good with audiobooks, but I just cannot focus on them recently. I have been able to do tandem audiobooks and e-books a few times but otherwise I’ve been almost exclusively ebooks. Not good for my physical TBR lol
Hi again! So I was doing dishes while watching your March video and then I moved on to this video to keep the good vibes rolling and had to make another comment, LOL. Read Kiss Her Once For Me in December and I thoroughly enjoyed it - think it was 4 stars? 4.5? Hope you can make time for it this December!
Lol I love that 😂 that one is definitely high up on my winter TBR
Hi! I’m here because I was watching your Reading Journal video and you mentioned The Deep and I had to hear your thoughts! I listened to it in March and loved it but I don’t think it gets enough love. Can’t wait to get myself a copy to annotate, too. Also I literally just bought myself the Tea Dragon box set as a belated birthday gift to myself and I’m 39 so you could always buy them for yourself too 😉
The audiobook for The Deep was fantastic! Haven’t gone back through to do a re-read and annotate yet, but I’m really looking forward to it ☺️ Tea Dragon society is lovely! Definitely enjoyable for any age ❤️
NAAAH Book Lovers is 1 😭
still haven't read happy place 😭 but i agree with the rest!!
❤️ odds are good that you’ll love Happy Place when you get into it then!
Love your review !!
My favorite reads for the month of April were The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Dare, Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo, The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose and Neve Lie by Freida McFadden
Sounds like a fantastic reading month! I’ve had Stay With Me on my TBR for a while, going to have to bump that one up the list!
