Wednesday Addams is my spirit animal I thought the series was good The beetlejuice sequel was disappointing (especially what they did to the iconic Lydia deetz) I think the salt grows heavy is a Wednesday book

Blackbird House by Alice Hoffman

Good luck with your book. Can tell it will be good just by the quality of your videos and the effort you put in

Awesome picks!

I'm glad you're not a shitlib

Woof at the Alex Jones book. I would not take any of that seriously. This is the man who said the Sandy Hook killings were faked. Be very careful which of his insane opinions you consume and apply to your worldview.

The great reset is plausible, unfortunately for the majority of us

I read antimenetics thanks to you, enjoyed the brain bending idea

Such an interesting list, added a bunch of them to my TBR and will read Tender is the Flesh next (was already on the list but your description of it and that last line really did it for me!), thank you so much! My recommendation is not a short book but it is a compilation of short stories - 253 by Geoff Ryman. It's about a subway train, its 262 passengers + the conductor. Super interesting and there's even a website for you to follow each passenger, the station and what is happening.

Love the writing vlogs, it‘s so inspiring to see you try out the course, your thoughts on writing and the montages of course. I also struggle with a concistent writing habit, so I need all the motivationen I can get. 😂

Hello How are you? My name is Mezbah Islam I am a professional Digital Marketer and RUclips SEO Specialist. I visited your RUclips channel Your RUclips channel videos are excellent. But your RUclips channel videos are not getting enough views. Do you know what’s the problem in your RUclips channel videos?

Delicious books 👹 can't wait for autumn to come👻

RIDICULOUS!

Just finished it. Took me about a week, which is one of the biggest compliments I can give it. It's much more consumable than some other books this long, in my opinion. It's a good story, and even when it lulls (in part 3 especially), the pacing seems intentional, to make a point, which I appreciated. Ushikawa made me laugh, the little insect. You gave a fair review, for sure, and I'm interested to check out that chapter you link, so thanks for that! It might save me the effort of re-reading 1984, haha. Have you read any other Japanese fiction, or watched any anime? This whole book felt just so non-western to me, which is refreshing in some ways, but almost "caricatured" in others... the romance stuff in particular. Lastly, do you have a take on what the "little people" are intended to represent philosophically or otherwise?

Oh no, such a shame for The long way to a small angry planet! I loved the Monk & Robot series soo much and I was looking forward to read ll her backlist and now I'm a bit hesitant! 😅

It's been a while since I've read 1984, but I feel like the crossover aspects are relatively apparent, if not annoyingly overt...but maybe I'm misremembering Orwell? Great, now I'm going to have to go back and re--read it, haha.

I like your Alex Jones book in your background. Based.

For darkening evenings I have Eka Kurniawan Beauty is a wound, Mariana Enriquez Our Share of Night, Lovecraft again and maybe Dracula? Why not.

Hi Brandie. I was looking for recommendations on where to start with C.P. and RUclips recommended your video. Honestly, after watching it, I’m not quite sure on where to actually start with him. You seem a bit disenchanted with his works, like that he started very high with Fight Club but everything after was of a lower quality/interest. I think I’ll start with Fight Club and then, let’s see 😌 very good video, btw. Greetings from Brussels 🍻

I’d probably not put that copy of the secret with your other books - if it’s water damaged it may have mold spores (also might not) and that can spread to your other books (former librarian, we would cull all water damaged books to prevent this)

Some books I really want to read this fall are Autumn by Ali Smith, We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson and Anatomy by Dana Schwartz - these are at least my priorities, I always stuff the tbr list especially in fall lol

Sounds like a nice combination of books. Can‘t wait to hear your opinion on them! ❤

I have wanted a community where we hold each other accountable with writing and helping each other! I'd love to be book friends!

There are plenty of "reasons" that books get banned or persecuted. It's just that none of them are any good! I believe the Bible is one of the world's most-banned books.

Awesome video! Definitely a great way to maintain discipline and consistency! Keep up the good work.

i also have an issue with accountability. i get shiny new project syndrome over and over and find it hard to commit to one enough to finish 🫠 question: did you pay for this reedsy course or were you offered a spot? i know the price point is kind of high, and i’ve seen other authortubers attend and “review” the course, so i was curious

12:32 The confusion of seeing a line in my first language on the screen. 😂 Yes, Jess, it is indeed German.

Once you said Diary was a DNF I proceeded with caution... BUT once you said Rant was a DNF for you, I stopped watching. Rant is a novel you have to read twice over, almost immediately to grasp. I suggest you reconsider and revisit. Cheers.

Harry isn’t Christ, he is Christ-like. He lays down his life as an act of sacrificial love, but he doesn’t take upon him the sins of the world or ask the Father to forgive his murderers. He’s just Harry. If Harry was real I am sure that he would be greatly loved by the Lord, that’s for sure. Anyway, Jesus loves you! Sorry if my comment sounded harsh, I have no idea how to regulate my tone online, especially when I’m tired, but know it’s meant to be light-hearted and respectful.

This was beautifully done! I see that this video is more than 8 years old, hah!

Excellent video for those who want to delve into Chuck's books! If you ever come to Buenos Aires, I will be very happy to offer myself as a tourist guide through the Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore. 🤓

I’m a fellow Texan🤠 and also wanted to say I love your chill/down to earth personality. Keep making videos!! I’d love to know your all-time favorites. Will say that I just discovered your channel so you may already have a favorites video out and I haven’t seen. Anyway, excited to have a new booktuber to watch!!

You're right. It's no 1984. As for Fuka Eri's 17 year-old boobs and the obectification of women in the story. This was my first time reading Murakami so my impression was that maybe it was his style to give sex and sexual parts/organs more attention than most writers, like maybe he wasn't as inhibited. He does the same thing with Tengo and Aomame. There is the underage issue. I don't know. I think a writer needs to constantly be keeping the reader off-balance to the end. Then again, maybe Murakami''s just a little pervy, who knows? Sure wouldn't be the first pervy writer. Also, I'm a Bukowski man so I'm used to another whole level of misogyny. Murakami's got nothing on Buk.

Did the members of Sakigake wear red caps with white lettering? I can't remember. [sorry, could not resist]. Really enjoying your review. I just finished 1Q84 last week. The repetition didn't bother me that much once I saw that he was going to use it consistently. He did get a little lazy with the cliches at times but he's always really careful with the description.

Hey! I'm Portuguese and I recommend José Saramago's books. He's an excellent writer and his books are very daring. He won the Nobel Prize for literature

I'm so in love with Steinbeck! I mean, his writing. (But also kind of him.) Great bunch of books!

Nice, have to check out 2.00 radio. Lots of stuff as a kid but Ill skip that.... here is a list: Notes from theUnderground Prometheus Rising Autobio of Malcolm X Brothers Karamazov Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy The Fountainhead Musashi Currently exploring Western Genre and really enjoying that. Happy Reading 🤙

1984 was prophetic

The Lord of the Rings changed my life for sure.

Thanks for sharing, been thinking of Taos the past few months (no idea why). So im a little jealous! ........ what books did you pick up at the bookstore?

👍 Did you see any of the historic haunts of Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett and company?

This was so relaxing to watch and made me look forward to my upcoming vacation even more, even though the destination is really different lol

From Bangladesh: you can read Islamic book also like The government and politics of islam.

It’s ok though, I’m still gonna re-read all of chucky p because I love him

White guy going to Africa: try Ryszard Kapuscinski Emperor. Ethiopia in this case.

Ice palace - book that I'm not interested at all BUT the cover ...I think I'll try haha I'm curious what you gonna chose for Greece. I've got Victoria Hislop but her writing is meh for me.

i found your channel a few weeks ago, by way of one of your writing vlogs, and i love your videos! it’s becoming a rarity to find book reviews outside tiktok or what’s currently popular, so hearing about your reading around the world is so refreshing! and a nice reminder that i don’t have to read what everyone else is and i don’t have to internalize FOMO for what i’m not interested in. i also really love seeing your writing process as your work on your dark academia project. i’ll have to get me a leather bound “rustic” journal for one of my wips in the future. definitely got a new, consistent viewer in me 💜
