  • @emilyoftheadamson
    @emilyoftheadamson Před 3 měsíci +7

    MARY!! you should totally read hofas (crescent city 3)!! i think once it got out that there would be an acotar crossover people took that and ran with it and made it seem like the crossover was more prominent than it actually is. i personally think it's a casual crossover that focuses less on the characters crossing over and more on the worldbuilding and how sjm's worlds overlap and are all part of a grander history! the humor is SO funny and the story is just so beautiful and a really good end to bryce and hunt's story, i laughed out loud, i cried, i lost my shit, i can't recommend reading hofas enough!! (def recommend rereading the first two tho!) also such a good vid

  • @Prettylittletiger
    @Prettylittletiger Před 3 měsíci +12

    I was in such a terrible, mean mood when CZcams recommended this video. I clicked on it, because I needed something to shut my brain off.
    Mary, you had me bawling when you read the Julian Barnes passage. I was not expecting to feel so deeply connected to you, but this whole video was so fun and wonderful. Books are such an anchor for me and you describing that same relationship to books was so powerful.
    Definitely subscribed, I cannot wait to watch more of your stuff. Thank you so much!!!

    Hey Mary! Can you do an prologues episode on Jane Austen? I feel like even though i may have read some of her works in high school I don't have a full understanding of her impact and it would be so cool to here from your perspective as a english/lit major with your passion all about it!

    I read Jane Eyre in college but in a gothic literature course. I definitely agree that it’s not romantic-I view it more like a creepy horror/gothic text but that’s also the lens I studied it through. It’s so cool how people can study these books in different lenses and views!

    I know not everyone has positive experiences with it, but I chose to get the copper IUD two years ago after being on hormonal birth control for about 12 years. My periods are heavier and I cramp a little bit more the first two - three days, but other than that I've had a pretty positive experience. My depression is a lot better and I do not have any mood swings like I did when I was on hormonal birth control.
