Video

Hi, I‘m new to your channel - this was my first video actually but I will be back for more ;) I was wondering which app do you use to track your reading? It looks so much better than the one I’m currently using.

Thank you for taking us on your vacation!!

Translating is a lot about speed and financing currently. I can only speak about Polish market but here in Poland the translations aren’t that great and not because of the translators’ inability to translate but because they get very little time to translate an entire novel. That’s a lot of work. Adding to that a second translator would only slow down the whole process since every translator has their unique style - it would be jarring to mix them randomly. So someone would have to put another extra work to edit it thoroughly. So yeah, I’ve never heard of such practice and it’s sounds odd to me. But I’m not in publishing industry, I just finished my Master’s in translation and my knowledge is mostly theoretical. So I might not be correct entirely haha

Hi! What time does the besties reading sprint happen on Monday? I am a new bestie and don't know how it normally works, but it sounds like so much fun.

Regarding Allergies: peanutbutter sometimes has shea butter or palm oil added to it, and shea butter is used for skin care as well.

Your hair does look like bacon but it’s great because bacon is delicious ❤️❤️

It was such a struggle to finish this slog of a book. I was fighting for my life to not fall asleep.

Just finished The Husbands. Holy moly that ending knocked my socks off!

That Shakespeare tee shirt is so funny! Whoa, how do you listen to an audio book at that speed, I couldn't do that and keep up!

❤❤❤

Am I crazy or was there ocean sounds in the background of some of this video? Like 8:44 part I swear I heat ocean sounds

You're the only person I have seen that liked Horror Movie 🤔

I just got My throat an open grave by Teri Bovalino I can’t wait to start it! Have you read it?

As a translator, I can say that we generally only translate into our native language. You need to understand the culture around the source language really well though. I don’t know why there would be 2 editors/translators, but my guess is one person translated the book, and someone else proofread the translation.

i’m loving all of these lifestyle vibe vlogs lately 💖

I'm so glad you loved Horror Movie! I loved it so much.

Those cinnamon rolls look really good. Great book recommendations.

I would have preferred never finding out who the killer was. Like Charlie says, real life there aren’t always answers. Even if at the very end in the movie reveal she says, Robbie wasn’t the killer. She broke up with him weeks ago and he moved on. That would have made the movie vs real life theme stronger. They never caught the killer or, Charlie had nothing to do with the killer being caught. He was just caught by the cops later in their own and it wasn’t Robbie.

I can't believe how old Liam is getting!!! And honestly? I'm 27 and I want that birthday party 😂

I loved Horror Movie ❤ I thought it was brillant. Maybe for a niche market, but it definitely worked for me. Glad to hear your thoughts!!

I love the cuss count 😂😂 so funny

I love stats! That's a big reason why i prefer StoryGraph > Goodreads

I read a good amount of translated fiction (mainly from Spanish to English) and find the act of translation very interesting. I love reading the translator’s note if a book includes one. Because I’m monolingual, I always wonder if a book that feels formal to me reads as formal in its native language or if it’s more casual/common. This is complicated by the fact that I read a lot of books published in 1900-1970 as well. I read a short story collection by Rosario Ferré and she discussed translating her own work which was VERY fascinating! Fionn Petch translated The Distance Between Us by Renato Cisneros (which I loved) and wrote about discussing his translation of the book with the author (Renato) and getting to ask clarifying questions. I would love to read a collection of essays by translators about translation.

Woohoo! 🎉 🥳 we finally got a baking win! 👩🏼‍🍳

Me and Liam share a birthday!!!! Cancer babies 💖🦀

I have to say, the walking pad footage really makes me motion sick. Love that you're using it, but it's too much camera shaking for me.

Tempest of tea is one of my favorite books this year

How can I submit my E-Book for a review?

um bestie didn’t you tell us to yell at you if you didn’t wear your glasses late at night? 🤨 this is me yelling at you

My son, also named Liam, is a July baby too! He’ll be 15 next Tuesday, which doesn’t quite feel real yet. 😅

Woodworm sounds so good, instant add to TBR! I knew you would give Horror Movie 5⭐️, glad it worked for you.

Your holidays always look like such a great mix of fun and peaceful! It makes me wanna visit Canada!

Funny thing, this was my first Paul Tremblay. I liked it :D gonna start the Pallbearer Club soon :D

Have you read Cold Moon Over Babylon ?! It's a great horror it's like southern gothic or sth . I love the writer

Ahhh I loved Pallbearers Club so now I'm really looking forward to Horror Movie 🥲

"8.5 he likes me!" lmao

happy birthday, liam!

I just watched that clap transition 5 times… wtf, YOU ARE A WIZARD. Absolute perfection 🙌🏻👏🏻

Girl that's not a book that's a radio drama. You are supposed to IMAGINE character voices when reading books

omg the horror movie audiobook sounds so good!! gotta grab it, I think I'm gonna read it tomorrow 😳

Several translators usually split the chapters

the lamp turning off to continued brightness made me lol 😂

Horror movie was my first Paul Tremblay book that I’ve read and I really liked it (I gave it a 4) makes me think I should add the pallbearers club to my TBR.

I work as a translator (not on books though) and in my workplace it's very common a text to pass through for three (or more) translators. The first one translates the text, and the ones after that revise the translation. Not sure if that's what happened here though, it could also be some other kind of collaboration since it's unusual to credit two translators in a novel (I think maybe for novels it's more common for a 'normal' editor to revise the translated text) Also, you asked about the first language of the translators: it is common practice for translators to only translate INTO their mother tongue. So a Spanish book would be translated into English by a native speaker of English, and an English book would be translated into Spanish by a native speaker of Spanish. (Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but usually only if it's extremely hard to find a translator that fits those requirements and there's a really tight deadline)

i'm sorry Kayla, but your conversation around 8:00 about translators really undermines the ability of people who learn English as a second language to distinguish between casual and formal vocabulary and different connotations of words that have the same translation in their mother tongue. My 9th grade students are already able to do this perfectly well, and even in 5th grade students already learn about the difference between heaven and sky which have the same translation into German

❤❤❤

Reading in the dark is soooo fun, I love it!! 👻

I love the baking clips so much 🥹😍

Okay, so from the last video you made me want Crumbl
