An Honest Review of Spare by Prince Harry
Only just seen this (three years too late 😂}. Thanks so much for such a lovely review. Cheers!
Hello, I apologize for posting this here, but I couldn't find another place to inquire. I'm curious about the process you use to select books for review, including any specific genres you focus on. As an author, I would greatly appreciate a review of my book if possible. Please inform me if this can be arranged. Have a wonderful day.
*sigh* So picturesque!
There’s some beautiful views up here
Makes me miss the borders where my family is from! Might need to make a trip haha
Trips away are always a good idea
Beautiful. This was a lovely start to my weekend. ♥️
I’m really glad you liked it ☺️
It's so frustrating when you can't get into a book, totally the writing style usually for me
Same for me, I think that with this one, the historical accuracy eroded the creativity.
Well I bought lady macbeth on your recommendation I managed to get a signed copy the book cover is lush Thank you ❤x
It’s such a beautiful design isn’t it? 😊😊
@@SparklesBooks yes x
Was it necessary for Kate to write a book? I can’t get past them leaving the children alone so they could join friends for dinner either. Couldn’t they take turns staying with them? I just couldn’t do that. Then after Madeleine went missing I didn’t hear them once say they should never have left the children unattended. Why did they have no regrets about doing that? That’s extremely odd.
The latest news on social media is that the twins no longer believe their parents ridiculous account of what happened that night. They must have realised that they too were left alone every night in an unlocked apartment and could so easily have befallen the same fate as their big sister. Maybe Sean will be the one to stand up to his father and persuade him to tell the truth.
That boat book sounds fascinating!
I am very interested in Lady Macbeth so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it....another great video, thank you. I love that you highlight books other than the current trends on other Booktube and Booktok channels...there's only so many hauls from The Works a man can see 😂 My latest purchases were "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoyevsky (great cover, that I couldn't leave behind 🤦🏼) and "A Botanical Daughter" by Noah Medlock....a book I've wanted for sometime now..Thanks again for the video,.looking forward to the next one 😊
Thank you!
I recommend Felix J. Palma"s Victorian Trilogy: The Map of Time, The Map of the Sky, The Map of Chaos.
I had noticed you using them, but I didn't comment on it because...why would I? It's nothing to do with me!
👻👻👻
I might have to pick this one up!
creepy
Agreed!
That was creepy!!!!!
Wasn’t it? I still can’t explain it
I’ve been binging your ghost stories and then I wake up to this🎉🎉
Haha, perfect timing!
Who watches book reviews and complains about the person’s makeup? Do they watch adult films and complain about the plumber not fixing the washing machine?
People really need to find better plumbers don’t they?
The Portuguese police are highly professional and Amaral Dias was a top investigator. His career was ruined by this investigation, because he had his theory and didn't give it up. Now, the McCanns didn't collaborate with the police!
you do you. ps - I love your beautiful face
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
You look fabulous but I’m not usually watching I am running around tidying up with my ear buds in because I am here to listen to what you have to say not to criticize the colour of your lipstick 😆
That’s exactly how I use CZcams too, I tend to have things playing in the background while I potter around doing housework ☺️
Love your videos ❤
Thank you!
People can be so petty! You do what makes you comfortable. While I think you always look so pretty, I am here for the content.
Filter or no filter, you are 100% gorgeous. Screw those who want to rip you apart. Imo🫶
Well thank you ☺️
I’m very encouraged by people saying they like my content and that my face isn’t the important thing here ☺️☺️
It makes me despair that prople feel they have the right to make personal comments like they clearly have. I hate that entitlement. Hopefully you continue to do what is right for you and block the idiots. When you are providing entertainment and using your own time to do this, people should just be grateful for what you give the community and leave the pettiness at the door.
Thank you, I am glad that people seem to agree that personal comments on appearance are not relavent to my content at all and it’s so odd that people persist in doing it but I’m pleased that a lot of people seem to be here for the videos and not just here to see if I have a filter or not ☺️
Your face is beautiful with and without filters! As is your personality. The only ugly thing is people thinking they have the right to comment on anyone's appearance at all! Love your videos and think you're fab! X
Thank you very much, that’s very kind of you to say ☺️
Just block negative comments. Enjoy.
That’s probably the most sensible option really
I love fantasy movies but have never read a fantasy book, however, want to give it a try, let's see whether it gets my attention as movies do, e.g. van Helsing
I really feel like this one falls more under thriller/crime than fantasy because it’s all our own world but with vampires. It’s definitely worth a try ☺️
Gerry has built a castle in the sky. Dogmatic. The parents of a missng kidnapped child they are not. No ficus on finding her, more focus of using donated money to fight liable meaning protecting personnel reputatiion. Why would she refuse to answer questions to find daughter. Odd parents.
20 years ago James mum hears about a job. 30 years ago she goes to see about the job. WHAT???!!!!
I didn’t even notice that part! Such a bad book.
@@SparklesBooks It’s definitely a complete brain twister 🤣👍🏻
It belongs straight in the bin 😂
@@SparklesBooks Well, I was right about James but his mum, his sister Rose/Fran, Cass, her mum, her dad, her sister🤯🤯
@@pearcegreatesteverleftback03it’s madness isn’t it?
I haven’t read this book I’m not usually drawn to a dark kind of fantasy. But…your review painted a picture that has drawn me in! It’s now on my tbr! Great review. I’m happy that you put it up!😃🫶
Thank you! I really loved this one ☺️☺️
Girly the bold glamour filter is giving uncanny valley!! It’s scaring meee
It would be scarier if I’d left my bare face - believe me
Those are very catty spectacles.
C.J.Tudor is easily one of my favourite authors. Ive had a great time with every book shes written and this one was easily up there as one of her best! I was sorry to finish this. 😊
I felt the same way, I really didn’t want the book to end 😣
@@SparklesBooks I was very interested in your take on how the book echoes some of the issues we are seeing now. I don't recall picking up on that when I read it back in January but reflecting on it today, I totally see the division, tribalism, fear of otherness and how ignorance can lead to conflict and violence. If my TBR wasn't so massive, I'd go back and re-read it again with this lens in mind....I'm looking forward to your next video!
@@pilgrimcobra I really liked that element of the book for me but it could have been as simple as me looking for parallels that weren’t quite there but I’m glad that you’ve said that looking back you can see some of it yourself too!
Got this on my TBR list😎👍🏻
You’ll have to let me know what you think after you read it
I’m currently 37% into this… I’m guessing that James is the grown up Roo??
You’ll have to keep reading…. But then regret it when you do 😂
@@SparklesBooks Ok Thanks. I love your advice 🤣👍🏻🤣
😂😂
Hope you have a great reading summer. Best wishes.
Thank you! You too!
Stunning 🤩💕
Thank you!! 😊
I really need to work on romanticising my own life, I feel like it would be really good for my mental health!
It really is, at least for me
I feel like there really needs to be a good balance. Bringing in new things can be important, but we shouldn't bring in as much as capitalism wants us to! Balance ⚖
Balance is the name of the game here
My book room is chock full of…well…books. I love most of them. But I haven’t read most of them. Not that they’re not good books, I just only have so many hours in a day. When I bought them I fully expected to delve into them. Other things I “wanted” and bought, much of it is in a plastic containers in the garage. But at the time, I thought these books and other things added value to my life and I suppose they would have if I had kept my promises to myself and looked realistically at the “things” that I thought added value. But much of what I have brought over the 60+ years of my life have made me happy and fulfilled. Kinda a catch 22. I just need to really take a hard look at what I need and what I want. As always, a very thought provoking video. You have a way with words that really makes sense to me. I’ll gladly take that and add it to my life, it adds value. Be well and stay well!!!!!
I think that if something brings you happiness then you’re meant to have it and hang on to those things that mean something to you, For me personally I find that too many things can make me feel stressed out but the things that matter to me (like my books etc) I can’t imagine letting go of and I think that their absence would make me sad
The algorithm has send me these videos. 😅 I already live my life like it. I do capsule wardrobe for me and kids, one in one out. My cutlery were hand me downs from my Grandad as he was given them, they are posh ones etc Glad it sent me your channel I shall have a look at your collection , I love Scotland 🏴 ..just had sneak peak ☺️ me and hubby went Edinburgh last year and came away wanting to move to Scotland.. even if it’s in retirement one day!
I also have a lot of hand hand down cutlery and tableware from my grandparents. Edinburgh is such a beautiful place to visit, I’m glad you got to come see it!
love your content. I visited Mull a few months ago. so peaceful.
I’m glad you enjoyed your trip ☺️
This s beautiful, & u r lucky to live at such places
Thank You so much for sharing ❤ God Bless You 🙏 This video makes everyone even more sure of the Truth that while GOD created HEAVEN and handed it to us as this Beautiful Planet as our home ❤️ it's the MADkind to blame for making it into hell😢
Beautiful place. Have an excellent week.
You too!
All things bright and beautiful...the water rippling, wind driven across the harbor...and I'd like to walk that low road, past the Scottish thistle...the grass waving from the shivering wind...fields of flowers...the water lapping on the shore...and the sounds of children's voices...an open book...and tea always tastes better in a china cup...Thanks for taking me with you...little do you know I'm walking with you through the night to a place where the sky meets the sea, and although you don't know me, I've been a fan of yours for years, Sparkles...inspired by the music, I'm driven by thoughts that cannot be contained in neither jar, nor mind...and the word is 'inspired'...and now I am healed and am as pure as the sea....
Beautifully shot
Thank you ☺️
The scenery is absolutely beautiful.🙏💙
Great to see you back!! I think you answered your own question here... all these different 'cores' or trends are exactly that TRENDS. Things people do for 'attention' and 'influence' to look cool rather than because it is what they actually believe in. And to me that is just very sad! 😔 I agree that throughout the years I have fallen victim to buying things because I thought having more books would make me more popular etc. but have grown out of that and likewise tend towards a minimalist frame of mind now! Great discussion video 😍
Thank you! It’s nice to be coming back out of hibernation little by little. I find that trends and new ‘cores’ seem to hit harder and faster than they did a decade ago, I hope we are entering a new period in life where people might be starting to question the over consumption bubble that we’ve been hit with so much but only time will tell .
