The day that my bloodmarked copy came in I reread legend born that whole day, then read bloodmarked and I cried 💀💀
Bloodmarked was TOOO much 🙁
If Legendborn doesn't get a high-quality TV series, I WILL riot
No literally
Read legendborn and bloodmarked last month for the first time and LOVED them both! Exceeded my expectations and are two of my new fave fantasy books. I can’t wait for oathbound.
I would 100% love a video essay on OUAT. I've never made it beyond the first, like, two seasons, but I'd love to hear someone else dive into it and discuss it.
I second this! I would also love a video on the BBC show Merlin!
It was actually awesome to hear your thoughts on ridding mythological tales of their original identity, because while I'm neither American nor anglophone, recent trends on retellings of "celtic" myths done by americans always make me wonder how does it feel to people who feel emotional personal connection with their myths to see this happen to them. I do research on modern folklore interpretations and what they lose in the process and why as part of my degree, so this is very interesting to me, but I feel like goes under the radar a lot in more anglophone spaces.
Legendborn is one of my all time favourite books! I read it for the first time two years ago and I still think about it all the time. Bloodmarked is a fantastic sequel so I’m fairly certain you’ll enjoy it if you enjoyed Legendborn so much.
YESSSS I JUST FINISHED TODAY AND IM SO GLAD I FINALLY READ THIS BOOK
Watching you read is infectious, to watch anyone get this much childhood joy and nostalgia from a book is so wonderful! As an English teacher who constantly tries to persuade kids into reading for pleasure, watching you read and dissect this bought me so much joy!! ❤
As a welsh girl this book series is genuinely one of my favourites! I didn’t expect the welsh language to be shown so much in the book and it made me so excited!
🏰 would definitely watch a ouat video 👀👀👀 seeing you break that whole mess down would be amazing
getting to see all your reactions is honestly a blessing, it feels like reading is a completely interactive activity for you and it's delightful
I have never been so early with a CZcams video, you’re videos are such a calming safe space for me. Hope you know you make a huge difference and much love❤️
I am so happy you read this!!! Bloodmarked was honestly even better prepare yourself 😅😅
Babel is a book I am TERRIFIED to read 😭😭 I know I need to push myself and just do it but the fear is real
Legendborn is also my favorite YA Fantasy! Actually Legendborn and Bloodmarked are pretty much on equal footing. Can’t wait to see what you think of Bloodmarked!
I've always seen people talk about Legendborn but never really wanted to read it, but now, you've convinced me, I got the ebook 😏
Just finished Our Share of Night--began reading the deceptively slim paperback and it took me about a month but I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of my current pattern of reading stories about ghosts with queer relationships, I can't get enough
It's such a joy to watch someone enjoy a book you love! Thanks for this experience. :)
This was such a wholesome video to watch; I loved Legendborn and am so happy to see you be so equally obsessed with it!
This is so serendipitous. I just read Legendborn and Bloodmarked in March after putting it off for years! I cannot wait another few years for the next books 😭
Jesus i love your videos🤎🤎this was so calming and wholesome! THIS is the type of reading vlogs people should do! I loved it. The vibe of your videos and edition is amazing!🤎🌼☺️
I loved this video because you also verbally react to what you're reading the same way I do lol. It's nice to see another reader do that as a way of processing what you're reading.
I’m sending you love and a great year❤❤❤
I started rewatching Once Upon A Time, so im up for a video about this!
I liked reading this book for the Book Explorer's Tavern book club. Also, liked getting started a new book that I've put off for a while. Thank you for that and I also love the book club.
Legendborn is like top 3 favorite books of all time for me! I loved this vlog & I’m so glad you liked it! I loved hearing your thoughts. As a Southern Black American, I have never felt so seen in a book before & I was so curious if Black non-Americans felt the same way so I loved hearing you talk about that aspect as well. I am v inspired to read the books I’m afraid of now starting w priory 😅❤️💙
I have been waiting for this video, yeeesss !! (Feeling v called out with the obsession starting with Merlin but also so true, what a SHOW...and yes OUAT was bad but I still turn to it as a comfort show :") )...anyway, I loved hearing your thoughts on this as you read! I agree, I think both the legendborn books are so well written and they both still live rent free in my head...genuinely one of my all time favourite fantasy series! I am so glad you loved the book and can't wait to hear what you think on bloodmarked!
So glad i didnt end up donating my copy of both books. Excited to read them.
I absolutely loved this video. I smiled throughout the whole thing! This was amazing. I got the recommendation from Shawnaci ❤
I'm so blown away by how well presented this intro was done. Whole video is 10/10 *
i read legendborn with the book club!! so excited to hear what you think afjskkfks
Eventually can you do a vlog reading Chalice of the gods? Or will that be once the other books come out?
I need to get myself a copy of Legendborn ASAP!
I like your reading series. Can't wait if someday you will react about shadowhunters universe.
omg Ive been meaning to read this for MONTHS😭
not me giggling and kicking my feet whenever you giggle at THIS BOOOOOK
I still have to read the series 😭😭
“Do it slay her” he was talking about Alice being a savage, going off on Victoria.
You should read the FIREBORN trilogy! It's so amazing I was surprised by how good it was!
( Btw I'm not talking about Fireborne, I'm talking about Fireborn without the e lol 😂)
read this and loved it but im scared to read the sequel.. will it top it for me idk
No because yes
You should read morgan is my name, book one of a trilogy. Soo good, strong women, romance, magic and beautiful landscapes.
This is me with Dune series. It’s a lot Mary haha
I recommend you watch "Was Merlin a Real Person?" by Horses (yes, that's his CZcamsr name)
💛💛💛💛
