I love your videos sam
Thank you :) I’m glad!!
The bingo board is sooo genius! I love the customizable aspect ✨
Thank you!! Appreciate you stopping by!
The bingo format has been very helpful for me! Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet.
Glad to hear it Ross!!
Big shoutout to the fucking SUN making a cameo in your video! I hope you find the courage to continue The Wheel of Time. I'm reading Lord of Chaos, and this book really made me appreciate the universe, its intricacies, and the character's psyches to a larger extent than the previous works in the series. It only gets better and better! ADHD in adulthood is not an easy pill to swallow. Both because of the challenge you now face in trying to deal with it and also the feeling of grief for all the years, you could've been looking for help as a child. I am a therapist and my clients struggle with this revelation a lot, you're not alone!
So kind of the sun!! Never underestimate the lengths to which I’ll go to avoid flat lighting 😆 definitely looking forward to continuing WoT!! I’ve heard it gets a bit more sci-fi as it goes, which is intriguing. And thanks for the professional insight- nothing is confirmed, but that book was super helpful regardless:)
Nothing important to add but I actually paused reading Wheel of Time (Shadow Rising- book 4) to watch this video lol
I decided to try A Wizard of Earthsea because of you! My friends and I started a book club and it’s going to be my next choice
Oh awesome!! I hope you like it as much as I did! 😊
The fact that you exist makes the video more entertaining. I’m impressed by your approach to reading. Keep it up! The “Binti” trilogy sounds interesting. I might just take it off my shelf and leave it lying around, tempting me.
Thanks for that!! And that’s such a great way to get yourself to pick up the book 😆
What page are you on
I finished it!!
I love your videos!!! They are very calming.
I’m so glad! Thanks for watching :)
Back when I was in school I'd take my little blue notebook everywhere, filling it up in tiny handwriting with a bit of everything, short stories, musings, thoughts, both in Portuguese and English. Took me four years to fill it up. It was my company on the worst days of my depression and the only place I felt that I could be sincere. Before that, I would have a notebook for each thing, but then I'd grow bored of the idea and the notebook would be unfinished. I stopped having the need to have it by me when I got better - which was bittersweet. I miss constantly writing and how clear everything became afterwards. I miss having a small notebook that everyone recognized. But whenever I try to recreate it, I end up with half filled notebooks, with uninspired ideas
I’m glad to hear you are doing better! I experienced something similar- as time goes on, the role my notebook plays in my life changes a lot. I find that even though it’s different now, it can still be quite special :)
I hope you continue to make more videos in the future. while I'm not reading a lot different series of books, I'm reading about...40 different manga series at the same time, it is truly thanks to the library because I do not have the money nor the space for all those books. I don't keep a tbr list but I DO make a list of what book I need to pick up next at the library and it feels less daunting that way.
More is coming!! Yes, the library is a fantastic resource- I’ve been using mine more lately!
Remote control is so good! Happy reading
Awesome!! It sounds really cool :)
I am a forever novel quitter haha. I write to chapter 6 or so and cant move forward. I go back and spend so much time editing and than getting stuck and sometimes I do just want to write down my thoughts....I need to try something new. I heard Hemmingway said to always write your first draft along with some other authors. I dont think I honestly ever considered writing a first draft by hand....so I started looking around about it hence me here on this video. Im def writing in pencil and Im looking at the same pencils haha!
This is so real 😅 have you considered writing a 6 chapter story?
@SamDCote no, but that wasn't the intention. If it was intended that way, cool but I'm not sure it's a length thing. Just something missing.
Why not use an e ink device like remarkable 2 or supernote a5x?
I’d have to buy one, and they don’t have all the things I love about notebooks 🤷
I'm currently handwriting a short story as well, it's a about a curse in a high-mountain village and 5 friends who need to solve the mystery of an old crime that caused that curse, I really love how writing it on paper feels, it's so mindful and so relaxing at the same time 💙, thanks for your video
This is really cool! Glad you’re enjoying the process :)
@@SamDCote thanks 🥰
A pen/pencil and paper don't spy on you, don't collect your data, don't send your data to a third-party company to analyze it and sell you personalized ads. The lines and the way your handwriting is, help you reflect on your emotions, are you happy? You'll see it in your handwriting, are you nervous? You'll see it too, pens and papers helped me notice my emotions way better, and I'm happy that many people still acknowledge the power of simplicity and authenticity that come with handwriting
Finally, 😩 I see someone who's handwriting his book. I thought I was the only one ❤
I'm doing it too! There are dozens of us!
I am too 😊 it's really cool and it helps calming me down
@@lingyangmain That's nice. Nothing beats old fashioned, handwritten drafts.
PLEASE IF YOU READ ONE BOOK HERE READ ALL SYSTEMS RED ITS SO GOOD AND IVE READ IT 3 TIMES OVER COVER TO COVER
So good!!
this was super helpful! I hadn’t heard that Gaiman interview but the few times I’ve written in a notebook and then transcribed to a computer I’ve found I like that process a lot, for most of the reasons you mentioned. good luck writing!
Thanks tim! Glad it was helpful!
Just re-read Equal Rites in audio the other day 🙌🏼 Love thrift books 🤓
Awesome!!
I’m reading Equal Rites right now!
Awesome!! What do you think?
@@SamDCote I’m reading them by publishing date so I only have the color of magic and the light fantastic to compare it to so far. It feels slower paced and less funny (but still funny because it’s Pratchett!) I am 2/3 into it and it feels like it’s starting to get somewhere. It’s my least favorite of the three I’ve read but that’s okay! It’s still a good book and still very clever and witty!
I think I have the same copy of the Shadow Rising! (+I just started it last week after taking a bit of a break after reading the third book in WoT)
Sweet!! Did you like it?
@SamDCote Definitely! WoT’s probably my favorite fantasy series & I enjoyed the third book a lot- It’s still taking me a bit to get into the fourth book though just cuz there’s so much I need to remember lol
oh! I just got one from them off eBay it's an art book I've been looking for... foooorrrrrr 10ish years now?
at an affordable price I should say and not 325 that some people want
Oh wow!! Glad you were able to find a reasonable price!
Is that a blue turtle background on your monitor? I love listening to their playlists!
Yes!! Great for reading along to :)
Pern ❤
thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
People are so wrong with number of books reads challenges. If you want to read more, find out how many pages you have read in total. Another way to measure your accomplishments is multiply the number of pages by the book's ranking(your ranking or Goodreads taking for example). Add up all these numbers, divide that by the total number of pages. That is the average ranking you are reading. That way you can see if you are reading more pages and if you are reading better books in average.
Love that series. I read it all at once, couldn’t put it down.
What do you do when you're annotating? for what purpose do you do it?
Such a sick cover
You should definitely read American Gods if you like Neil Gaiman! It's so good. Also, you mentioned your novel having a sort of absurdist, surreal feeling, so I think you'd like it.
Amazing!! I got it from a free little library, so maybe I’ll check it out!
IF you like song of Achilies read Circe! Its was beautiful!!
I’ve heard great things!!

the fact that I still play Minecraft is truly unbelievable.
It’s been a while for me, but I’m honestly a little nervous to return after all the updates… how is it these days?
@@SamDCoteI think you can't survive reacting at so many new things. Like you would have an heart Attack.
@@SamDCote it’s honestly quite great! It’s more hard to get things like dye. You should play again sometime! It would also make great content.
