Thanks for the video! Just read Things Fall Apart, Achebe. + reading the Yeats poem alongside the novel. I really struggle with finishing books so glad to see your list of 28 haha
@eriksoltvedt7552 ooh hope you enjoyed it! Ha ha, yes I can't believe I'm in the middle of so many series. Glad it makes you feel better 😅
Actually really enjoyed hearing you talk about these series! I don’t have a lot of friends who read things other than fantasy/romance/sci-fi so I don’t get a lot of recommendations outside of these genres
@natsuvoyage Thanks! Yeah, I love series but it's really hard to find ones outside of the fantasy genre!!
Great video! ❤ I loved hearing about all the different type of series. I just discovered your channel, I’ll check out more of your videos 🥰
@@marianamasbooks thanks! I can't believe how many series I've started 😅
That was a very interesting video and made me rethink some of my own reading in terms of series. Like you, I'm not enamoured with the Lucy Barton series (other than the first, I also read Oh, William, which was better) but really recommend Strout's Olive Kitteridge and Olive, again, both of which are written as interconnected short stories (and I don't love short stories). I hope you feel better soon, I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy your content.
@georgiam4576 thank you so much! Ooh, that's really good to know- I'll be sure to check out Olive Kitteridge. Feeling much better now thank you 😅
