    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this format ❤ I’d also love to know: what’s the best book you read in February?

    • @iptfan45
      @iptfan45 Před rokem

      Gallant by audiobook. Thank you for recommending. I like the format.

    • @Karen_Tries
      @Karen_Tries Před rokem

      Out of the 6 books I read, my fave book from Feb was From Blood and Ash… ❤

    • @RaptorsCantSwim
      @RaptorsCantSwim Před rokem +2

      I love this format! My best book for February was certainly Vita Nostra

    • @barbaraschmitt85
      @barbaraschmitt85 Před rokem

      My favourite books for February were Braiding sweetgrass in Non-fiction and Parable of the Talents by Octavia E Butler for fiction.
      For a nonfiction book about (predominantly British) History and the impact on today, I also recommend Akala's Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire

    • @jujunorman4695
      @jujunorman4695 Před rokem +1

      I love the format and would say it trumps pwm videos as it is a combination of book wrap up and journalling. If filming it every month is too tedious, please do it without filming and do it as a flip thru. It may be easier on you.

  • @maeverose2290
    @maeverose2290 Před rokem +47

    This is actually my favorite type of reading wrap up video, so I'm definitely here for it!

  • @madddoll8685
    @madddoll8685 Před rokem +38

    • @PlantBasedBride

    Yay I'm so glad you decided to bring back the monthly wrap up. To be honest, I follow your channel for your reading content rather than your bujo content. I love your book reviews and your taste ressembles mine so super excited this is back!

    • @PlantBasedBride

    Reading journal video was actually how I first got to your channel. I missed the wrap ups even though I enjoy your other bookish content. Thanks for bringing those back
    Hope you are feeling better!

    • @PlantBasedBride

    @samantha_elise Před rokem +2

    This structure works so well, I loved being able to see your process in setting up your monthly reading spreads and also hearing your thoughts on each book throughout I hope you continue to do these videos.

  • @shelbseroo
    @shelbseroo Před rokem +2

    Love the format Elizabeth! Also re: the book and the education system. I think a way you can spread the message of the book would be to make a dedicated video on it, maybe as "podcast" style with a co-host who is a teacher (maybe there's someone in your audience who would be willing!) To explore ways the book could align with curriculum and chat through some of the themes etc. That video then could be shared among teacher groups, because in some cases teachers are given full autonomy for choosing their own books and it might give people a good starting place :) hope this helps or gives you inspiration on a way to move your idea forward!

    • @PlantBasedBride
      @PlantBasedBride  Před rokem

      Oh, that’s an interesting idea! I’ll have to think on that a bit. Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️

  • @justyna2149
    @justyna2149 Před rokem

    Yay! Bookish content from Elizabeth is back! 🥰 Loved the video, I always get so many great recommendations from watching your wrap ups.

    • @PlantBasedBride
      @PlantBasedBride  Před rokem

      Well, bookish content never went away, just my monthly wrap ups! I’m glad you’re excited about it though 😂

    I love this format - I always look for your reading journal updates and love to watch them. This month I had many great reads - I guess my best read this month was The Rose Code, by Kate Quinn.

    • @PlantBasedBride
      @PlantBasedBride  Před rokem

      I’m so glad you like it! ❤️ I always feel like I don’t get enough chances to share my reading journal so this was fun for me 🥰

  • @LanikaYule
    @LanikaYule Před rokem

    I appreciate any book journaling and reading content you're willing to gift us! I do love this format. In my personal reading journal I do a cover page and summary quarterly instead of monthly, and I try to pick a colour scheme to build cohesion across the entries (we'll see if I feel like sticking to that though!)

  • @miscpaper3341
    @miscpaper3341 Před rokem

    Love the combo of these videos!! Your book journal is how I found your channel so I’m all for book journal content!!

    • @PlantBasedBride
      @PlantBasedBride  Před rokem

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It definitely took a while to make (longer being sick lol 😅) ❤️

  • @ryttu3k
    @ryttu3k Před rokem

    I really enjoyed this formatting! Great combination of the book discussion and the creative/journalling side.
    For February, I didn't end up reading much at all, unfortunately. This month, so far, my favourite has been NK Jemisin's The City We Became (and thank you again because your comments on it and Broken Earth got me into reading her!). Sequel is now DEFINITELY on my TBR.
    Hope you feel better soon!

  • @clem302
    @clem302 Před rokem

  • @skyeraedar
    @skyeraedar Před rokem

    I like the format. I like being able to see the process while listening to you talk about the books. Very brain pleasing.
    I don't know that I could choose a fav book for February. I read the Trickster trilogy which I loved SO much. But I also read Bad Cree which on top of being a good book also viscerally felt like the prairies where I grew up but moved away from a few years ago.

  • @LunatikMoona
    @LunatikMoona Před rokem +3

    I usually don't comment on videos, but this was a way too great one for me to not say anything
    Severals books will probably end up on my wish list to read ^^
    I'm about to start my own reading journal, and watching this is giving inspiration and motivation to do it, I love the fact you can just go back to what you read and read thoughts you had on it
    This format is really great, seeing all how you're setting up your spreads and hearing you talking about all of the books you read that month, it's inspiring and such chill vibes
    Thank you for this 🙇‍♀

    • @PlantBasedBride

    Love to see back your long videos about your reading!!! ❤ I enjoy them like a tv show, with snacks and a drink. Just a personal preference, I like it more when you are on screen talking about books, and we can see your expressions and demeanor, but that could be just me 😝 Thanks for providing me with great Sunday entertainment ❤

    I really like the new format! I will say I also very much enjoyed the more thematic book content you made last year. I'm a fan of both your journaling videos and your book/reading videos and I'm very happy to watch in whatever format is feasible and enjoyable for you to make :) I also think switching it up sometimes makes it fun for both you and us as viewers! My favourite book I read in February is To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers (on your recommendation!) - truly made me cry and now I can't wait to read the Wayfarers series. Close seconds: Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton and Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

    • @PlantBasedBride

    Love this format! Not too long but also in depth. Maybe you could frame the stats in the beginning not as percentages but as "6 of the 13 books", "half of the books I read" or something along those lines for a better understanding? Either way I enjoyed your wrap up and am looking forward to the next one!

    I've never been a big non-fiction fan I always associated it with forced reading bc of school but last year you inspired me to open up on the genre's I read and I started reading more non-fiction. To my surprise, I LOVE the ones Ive found and I like that I'm learning about things. My interests have been in the history part of non-fiction but I plan on getting into the advice part too.

      I would do regular talking-to-the-camera wrap ups before ☺️ I still plan on making videos in that format, but I find covering more than a handful of books like that tends to turn into super later filming nights and very long editing days 😅 I’m glad you enjoy this combination, though!

      I definitely plan on continuing to make “talking-to-the-camera” style book review videos, but likely for fewer books at a time like I’ve been doing over the past year ❤️ I find once I’m talking about more than 5-6 books the videos start to get very long and intense to film! I find doing that once in a while like for my yearly Goodreads video is doable but every single month it’s just a little too intense for me when it comes to the workload ❤️❤️

    As you asked for feedback the only thing I'd ask you to consider is putting/showing the stats on screen as you talk the through. When people say numbers to me I glaze over and can't take in anything meaningful.
    Of course, you should weigh this request up against how much effort it is for you to do and I'd never want you to think it was something 'wrong', just something to try as others may find it a bit confusing too?
