- Hello everyone! Glad to see you here. Today I'm checking in with what I've read, what I hope to read, and a few notes on life right now. I hope you're all doing wonderfully!
Shoutout to @ellenmadebookclub! If you're looking for summer reads and open discussion, watch her most recent Book Club Picks video, outlining the options for July and August.
My office is reaching temperatures that are unsustainable for life, so my uploads may be scattered over the summer.

Gallt birthfay! Ok what??? Sorry had the Swedish keyboard thing on my phone. Happy birthday!!!! 🤩💐📚 The Glutton, what a great gift to yourself, I want that too! And I’m so excited to hear you thoughts on Yellowface when you’ve finished that. Yes omg.
I still want to read Jennifer Saint! And Station Eleven! So many books, so many pages 😂
Thank you so much for the shoutout, that’s so sweet of you! 😊 1984 & Song of Achilles is a combo I’m sure 😂
Good job!!! With all your reading! And don’t stress about work, you’ve got the rest of your life to do that. And it won’t make you happy at any single point in time let me tell you 😂 Ambition and work ethic and all of that is awesome, not saying you shouldn’t want work, work is great, but a few months in the grand scheme of things… droplet! Use the time to write, to learn things (CZcams is great for that) and fill your own cup with good stuff that makes you relax and smile! Enjoy being 22, what a beautiful age to be! 😊 💜
Thank you Ellen! ❤️ Oh yeah, the Glutton sounds like such an interesting character piece. And I have _so many_ thoughts on Yellowface so far, I might have to start writing them down 😅 Jennifer Saint is worth a read, her newest book Hera has good reviews. Yes, Station Eleven - be sure to have some tissues to hand!
You absolutely deserve a shout out. Your channel is so welcoming and your reading taste is so inclusive, I often find myself adding to my reading list. 😊
I have a friend who often says "you're only a baby Elmo, don't worry about doing everything at once". I am hoping to do more on this channel, but it's been great so far in building skills and meeting new people. I'm so glad to have this space to be bookish and creative. ❤
@@elmossy Haha yes write them down, I want to hear them all! 😂 Ooh Hera, ok good to know! Thanks!
Thank you so much, that warms my fuzzy little heart 😊💜
I can see that! 😂 I’m like that too, and then I get stuck in panic and indecision, it’s so great! 🥴 Do whatever feels right to you. I feel the same about the channel, it’s like a whole world to dive into and so much fun! I don’t want to do anything else anymore 😊
I just got finished reading 1984. It had been o my tbr for so long, super happy I finally got to it! Would love to hear your take on Orwell ^_^
Well done! 🎉 I have too many books that have sat unread on my shelf. I'm determined to read 1984 this year though! I love a good dystopia :)
Thank you for your comment! ❤️
I just today managed to get the audiobook from the library of book 2 in the Murd3rb0t series. Love the word 'imagistic', nicking that one from you. Yellowface made me feel very uneasy, don't think i have ever wanted to see POV character get their comeuppance. Lovely update
:o I hope you enjoy it! I plan to read my library copy this week if time allows. You're absolutely welcome to steal my words, that degree has to be worth something 😅. I totally agree about Yellowface. I still have a bit to go am praying to the story gods, desperate for her to get her karmic comeuppance!
Thank you for your comment ❤
Hello! I’m new here. Did you read ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife,’ by Audrey Niffenegger? I read it a few months ago and I didn’t like it. Good luck with your writing project.
@@JessBookgirlTV Hi Jess, Welcome! I haven't yet, it's in the reading horizon though. Sorry to hear it wasn't your jam! D:
