I feel like the NOOK Hub is just a place that shows if your B&N apps are all updated? I’d love it to be like a discussion place for people.
Thank you for making this video I’ve been debating on which ereader to go with, You did such a nice job explaining things c:
@@LovelyLynx09 thank you!!
You are so gorgeous so beautiful❤❤❤
The book is so good. I thought it was interesting how Kuang portrayed their faults at different scales. Athena's faults seemed to be private wrongdoings with people close to her while Juniper's faults were at a very large public scale towards people she didn't know. Also, I'm not sure if Kuang intended to, but it also made me think of cancel culture and how the morality showcased by people is inherently fake when they've been called out on something. I'm curious if you heard anything about why Athena was friends with Juniper? From the narrative it seems like it could be possible that Athena genuinely considered Juniper as a friend and the animosity was purely one-sided.
@@stephanieep So eloquently put!! And I love your point about cancel culture and the inherit desire to put on a good-person facade after being called out instead of taking accountability. From Juniper's pov, it seems like they were just always in the same place at the same time so she considered them situational acquaintances. Athena definitely seemed to consider the relationship something more though, like a casual closeness type deal. All interesting stuff!! This book just makes me think and think and think
The spirit bares it’s teeth is one of my most favourite books, I love the autism rep
@@Zeelovesdinos ditto!!
I'm not Asian American either I'm Puerto Rican. But I felt like the concept of your work being stolen without even understanding your work is something that I feel like made me mad which is what. The story wanted and her writing was brilliant
I hope your summer gets better at least you read an amazing holly black book
@@PoppyMorreale thank you!! 💕
Cool 🆒😎
amazing video 🥰
@@JillurRLimon thank you!!
Camp half-blood for the summer for life! Subscribed

Yay I'm so glad to hear it!! Let me know what you think of Andrew Joseph White's books once you get the chance to read them - I'm sure you'll love them!! :)
What's the podcast called?? Sunflower?
It's called The Slumflower Hour!
I love your energy but I think you revealed too much...too many spoilers I guess
Thank you for the feedback!!
as somone who was also abused as a child and worked hard to deal with the trauma and be a decent human being I hate when it's used as an excuse as to why someone is "crazy"
So glad you relate and agree <3
Couldn't get past the first book which I rated one star, Lol it was a ride
I don't blame you lol - such a wacky series
One dark window was a dark horse
Exactly!!! Almost done with the sequel and omg
i am always rooting for Morena Garcia cause its cool seeing someone hispanic and woman at that breaking into the mainstream but sometimes she fails
Same! I loved The Beautiful Ones by her, but Mexican Gothic was not for me :(
Yes the handmaids tale! Yes the bell jar! 😊
Gotta love them!!
Thanks for these!!
So glad you like them!
Sarah j Maas is a Zionist and shouldn’t be supported in any way

Who could ever be embarrassed for liking acotar
I disliked Fourth Wing as well 😂😂 I always seem to hate popular books 📚 great video! Just subscribed ❤
