I actually love when my youtubers give updates on the weather. This is a weird tangent, but I'm glad adulthood is made up of the joy of small things, the type of everyday mundane that you may dread as a teenager turns out to be fairly fulfilling.
This is beautiful and true
when the Gatsby smack talk started happening I kept looking over at Rae like 🤐👀
Re: Brandon Sanderson sleeping or not sleeping, I recently learned about that... I watched a video by wonderful Australian booktuber Christy Anne Jones, where she followed Brandon Sanderson's writing routine for a few days. She has a series where she's doing different writers' routines, and so far has done Virginia Woolf, Donna Tartt, Neil Geiman, Haruki Murakami, and Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson has 2 x 4-hour writing sessions a day. He wakes up at midday. He has the first writing session from 1pm-5pm, then family and wind-down time, and the second writing session from 10pm-2am, then 'goof-off' time from 2am-4am (playing video games or whatever he feels like), and goes to bed at 4am.
Gasp! I didn’t recognize Monica without all her pink!!🎀👚

This is awesome!! Thank you for this comment! I always have trouble remembering recs so this is so helpful
wow, thanks❤! omw to make my tbr even longer
Thank you!!!
Thank you! This is so helpful!
I just love that when I saw the title of this video, I knew instantly that Reagan was going to be on it! It’s also so fun that there were so many commonalities in the books you 4 loved and recommended. Great episode!
Ooh maybe a term for a book that you’ve been meaning to read but feel like you’ll either love it or hate it could be an “every flavor jelly bean” book since with those you’re also hoping it’s great and want to eat it but are also afraid it will be horrible so you stare at it for a while trying to prepare yourself for it haha
All my favourite book people in one video, amazing !!!
Dope chill cast you guys. Thnx for the recs 👍
This was a great episode! Loved having Regan and Monica as guests
Thank you so much for all the book recs I really enjoyed this podcast I loved listening to you all chat :)
I had completely forgotten about How to Build a Girl but I loved that book when I was a teen!
How to Build a girl was the most formative book of my life - I get excited everytime anyone talks about it
This was such a lovely episode! 🤗
omg ive read astral season, beastly season a few years ago it was absolutely insane and ive also read idol, burning recently also loved it. very excited to pick up y/n hopefully soon!
I haven’t even started listening yet but just from the title, the answer is yes. More fantasy please!!!!!
Is spotify no longer getting the video episodes??
I found this episode on spotify with video. I noticed that sending the audio to another device switches off the video. Hope that helps.
Guys pls recommend some romentic sad books that r not 18+ and doesn't contain any bad language whatever
I'm not a big fan of writers' using a line from another published writers' work for their own book titles. I'm sure a lot of people, who aren't familiar with the origin, would think "what a great title" and give credit to the novelist pinching that line. For example, the book "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" by Joan Didion - that's a line from a poem by WB Yeats. Also "Grief is the Thing with Feathers" book by Max Porter is a line from a poem by Emily Dickinson. I just think, come on writers, you're WRITERS, create your own title for your book.
@arielbissett @raeleenlemay OMG, finally I know what a mashed potato book is.🎉😂❤. Please read a Gentleman in Moscow, it’s ahhhmazing, my fabulous friend, also wonderful.
