I only annotate fiction if it is a reread...non-fiction is hit or miss. Sometimes the words are almost too important to take time to annotate imo. Other times annotation is nice because it helps pace you. But I also have a really simple annotation system. One highlighter and idc about the color of the tabs. It makes it a lot more manageable and feels less like homework lol
Yes! I watch when I have napping kids so having accurate captions makes it so nice. Side note I love Noelles voice too, donât know what it is but just like her cadence :)
Ready Player One. You could explore how the teens in the book create their avatars to express a 'hero' version of themselves and how that limits real intimacy. For Helen especially her avatar is armour since her own mother doesn't accept her IRL.
Felix Ever After was AMAZING! And Iâm currently half way through The House In The Cerulean Sea and itâs like a fluffy cloud hug itâs so darn cute!
I am in love with this channel. I love to read, but this channel, and all of Noelleâs videos just make me want to lock myself in my room and read for hours. Thank you, I appreciate all of your content :)
The Shadow of the Wind quartet is just pure genius. Each book hits on a different genre (coming of age, heist, horror/psychological thriller, detective/mystery) which makes it amazing. Because it hits on all genres, this is by far my favorite series of all time.
If you're looking for more short stories I'm currently writing a paper for my English degree on Flannery O'Connor, and my god that woman could write! She is the definition of Southern Gothic and her stories are so good and funny but so biting at the same time.
i truly appreciate how much noelle takes the atmosphere into account when looking for and recommending books. the aesthetics of the locations and the covers themselves never slip her eye :)
I had never cried from reading a book until I read The House in the Cerulean Sea...I think you're really really going to like it and I'm honestly so excited for you.
i just graduated on saturday and my reading has SURGED. i read song of achilles and the hating game yesterday and loved both of them!! i'm going to read circe after my heart heals from achilles, the house in the cerulean sea, euphoria (oh my god these are all books you've talked about recently), and the green mile!! good luck with your finals :)
I really *need* the ones we're meant to find đ„ș I had a neuroscience paper and my thesis due in April and only listened to audiobooks, just don't burn yourself out, I've been fatigued ever since đ
anyone else think that when Noelle said Severence 'melted' into the shelf I thought she meant like it literally melted in the sun and got like stuck together or stuck to the shelf or something. I was like * gasp * !!
You have inspired me to pick up The House on the Cerulean Sea again. I own it. Started it and loved it, but then life happened so I put it down. I also read the Kiss Quotient last month and will be reading the Bride Test this month.
I am eagerly waiting for The Maidens, I read The Silent Patient about a month ago and I loved it. Hearing Noelle hyped up about a book is how I prepare my monthly TBR.
GIRL I FEEL YOU WITH THOSE SEMINAR PAPERS. I just want to quickly recommend âOff the Roadâ a memoir by Carolyn Cassady, Neal Cassadyâs wife. Itâs SO GOOD. I wrote one of my papers on it.
and, i hope you like Upstream! i haven't read it yet but Mary Oliver is like my all time favorite patron saint of my life, she could rewrite the phone book and i'd be in tears
The House in the Cerulean Sea is sooo great! Fantastic characters both in nature and in personality, endearing love story and human connections, and a lot of funny moments. I hope you love it, it was one of my favorites last year!
Oh my god. I'm having my exam season right now and had one of my biggest exams today and just want to live my life in peace now instead of stress and then there comes Noelle with a new video. Couldn't be better I love u so much!
Severance is such a fascinating novel. The pandemic sections are harrowing and disturbing, but Maâs exploration of the protagonistâs life before the pandemic is equally as upsetting and unnervingly relatable for those of us who work office jobs. Such a brilliant satire on consumerism and capitalism. Itâs not a perfect novel, I thought the middle dragged quite a bit, but I couldnât tear myself away from the final 70ish pages. Such a maddening ending! Happy reading! Good luck with finals! Sending hugs! đâ€ïž
I work at Barnes and Nobles, and the book a Court of Thornes and Roses by Sara J. Maas seems like it's right up your alley. It's essentially a fantasy romance set around the story of beauty and the beast and is super heckin steamy. All the girls at work have been raving about it.
I canât wait for you to read âThe People We Meet On Vacationâ I think it was in your April TBR but you havenât read it yet. So excited to see what you think even if you get to it in a few months!
The silent patient is one of my favorite thrillers everrrrr, I'm so jealous (in a good way) you got that ARC!!!! I can't wait for the maidens to come out and also can't wait to hear your thoughts about it
i have the house on the cerulean sea on hold at my library right now! hopefully iâll get it in time for the livestream đ„Č this month i plan on reading the flatshare (almost done!), the shining, everything is illuminated (reread, one of my all time faves), milkfed, and what we all long for! oh god and i have to finish a little life, iâm at the happy years and i just - i canât bring myself to do it.
Would love to see you do a video one day where you select your TBR based solely on covers. Like you go in entirely blind other than the title and cover. You always are so passionate about covers so I think it would be a fun video
I have a bookclub that I run and we just had our discussion for 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' today and we all got emotional DISCUSSING the book! haha
I'm currently reading The House in the Cerulean Sea and had to stop for a few weeks cause it's so yummy and such heartfelt goodness I don't want it to end. đ
I read Severance for a class and I loved it! It can get heavy at times just bc of the general misery of the dystopia, but it's worth a read. And I'm with you, I have so many papers due in May so I don't really have much reading planned beyond academic reading :)
So excited for your thoughts on Severance. I read it last year during our strict lockdown, which amplified the sense of isolation felt by the main character.
I have my final assignment for uni due in the next couple of weeks and I am deep diving into my TBR pile for sure! Itâs going to be a summer of reading for me thatâs for sure.
The Dating Plan was super cute; especially because I got to revisit the Patel's from The Marriage Game. The House In the Cerulean Sea is on my May TBR also. Looks like you'll have a beautiful reading month.
I like the dating plan. Took some pages to get into the story. But oh my God, its so sweet and steamy! Iâve read 2/3 so far so very excited about the rest of the book!
i just finished yolk a couple days ago and it was a really emotional read! it was honestly a bit hard to read at points because of some of the topics it deals with but ultimately i'm really glad i read it and loved reading from a korean-american pov. mary hk choi's books always hit hard
Not what the video is about but oh my god your jewelry collection is top tier! If you ever get the chance to show your jewelry (especially your piercings) in a video like a vlog or something, I would immensely appreciate it. I LOVE bold earrings (bold for me is anything that is even remotely long. yes I am a wimp and proud), but for some reason I am intimidated by them, but whenever I see you wearing some, I immediately wanna wear every piece you own!!

lol
YESSS!! Thatâs what I thought too
I thought this too!
Hahaha that's so good
.or.. a gravenue?
Who else LOVES the idea of annotating their books but is too lazy to do so?
me! i love the thought but when im reading i just donât want to stopđ©
@@layah2222 exactly!
I love annotating unless the book sucks ofc
Haha..I for once I love the idea when it's on my mind but doing it,it's a struggle đ

Gosh, I'm so excited for a summer full of reading with NO school work!
Same! :)
THIS^^^^

Me too!!! So hyped
same!!
can we appreciate that Noelle adds captions? thanks for that đ
Yes! I watch when I have napping kids so having accurate captions makes it so nice. Side note I love Noelles voice too, donât know what it is but just like her cadence :)
Love it!!
yes!! as someone w auditory processing issues + sensory overload from autism it's so so nice esp as automatic captions can be very dodgy
Yes!! I'm Brazilian and captions help me to understand everything!
The House in the Cerulean Sea feels like a hug đ„°
It is such a heartwarming book. I was smiling so much while reading it âșïž will definitely reread it at some point which I rarely do!!
@@kate-ne So true! I was smiling, giggling and laughing while reading it. Will definitely read this again too! đ
Ready Player One. You could explore how the teens in the book create their avatars to express a 'hero' version of themselves and how that limits real intimacy. For Helen especially her avatar is armour since her own mother doesn't accept her IRL.
Just announcing my appreciation for Noelle adding closed captions so everyone can enjoy her videos âș â€
do I have math class in 9 minutes...? maybe.
am I gonna be watching noelleâs new video instead...? ABSOLUTELY
Who is agree that she is looking prettyâš as usualđ„°
Felix Ever After was AMAZING! And Iâm currently half way through The House In The Cerulean Sea and itâs like a fluffy cloud hug itâs so darn cute!
omg i have both of these books and i canât wait to read them
that description is enough to convince me to read it, that's such an adorable way to describe a book!
Hunter James you wonât be disappointed!
omg noelle u should start a discord for ur subscribers to talk abt books with eachother đ„°đ„°
IKR IT WOULD BE SO FUN, SO MANY PETUNIAS TOGETHER
That would be so fun.... great idea
i would join!!
i would LOVE this!! i have no book friends đ„Č
YESSS
I thought the book LITERALLY melted and I was so confused as to how that managed to happen đ God help me I am stressed đ„Č

yolk has such a stunning cover
I'm finally reading The Song Of Achilles with my book club this month!!
I hope you love it. Read it last year and my heartttttđđ
The Shadow of the Wind quartet is just pure genius. Each book hits on a different genre (coming of age, heist, horror/psychological thriller, detective/mystery) which makes it amazing. Because it hits on all genres, this is by far my favorite series of all time.
My top tbr books for May:
The Great Alone by kristin hannah
Fahrenheit 451
And Then There Were None
The Great Alone is another most excellent Kristin Hannah Book!!! You will love it.
@@le7516 I read the Nightigale last uear and LOVED it! Is it better than the nightingale?
@@samankhalid1279 , I loved both books but they are both very different.
I loved And Then There Were None. Have you read other Christie books?
If you're looking for more short stories I'm currently writing a paper for my English degree on Flannery O'Connor, and my god that woman could write! She is the definition of Southern Gothic and her stories are so good and funny but so biting at the same time.
Noelle and her background are making me feel supes cozy today
Noelle, I hope everything is ok! We miss you and hope youâre doing alright. â€ïž
