    Another great vlog ladies. I’m afraid my copy of Dracula was culled from my book collection about a year ago. When I was at uni I thought I might read it, but then I decided not for me and let it go. But I do like the format of journals, diary’s and letters. Maybe one day if I ever run out of books 😉👍xxx

    Rhythm of War. Wow that looks heavy. (Weighty.) Probably not for me., but I did love Kindred ❤. The pottery painting looked like so much fun and they were all so different I couldn’t possibly choose one. For a book recommendation for you I would suggest The Familiars by Stacey Halls, it is historical fiction my favourite genre, and I suggest it because it is a little bit ‘magical, mystical’ and is set around the time of the Pendleton Witch trials, so you may enjoy it. Not sure if it is an audio book but I have a copy if you want a borrow. Xxxx

    I love the wheel of time books and was very excited for the show. I have enjoyed moments of the show but I’m scared they won’t have the scenes the book readers love. One of my favorite scenes from the books is when Mat defeats both galad and Gawyn after barely having been able to walk after dealing with the dagger. This didn’t happen in the show and even though he could still face and defeat them it seems like it lost some of its surprise. I don’t know if I’m making sense. I would love to see Dumai’s wells although in the last episode of season one they seemed to use the “Asha’man kill!” Moment. I’m trying to be optimistic for the show but I have my doubts. I did love the powerfully emotional moment when nynaeve ran through the arch holding her daughter. Very powerful.

    • @LunabirdBookclub
      @LunabirdBookclub 2 месяца назад

      You are making sense and I'm with you in that, I mourn the loss of Mat vs Galad&Gawyn. It might still be in the show, but it would have been epic to see so soon after Mat wakes up in TV. Just been to rewatch the Tarwin's Gap scene from S1 to compare them in my mind. Wow, I'd forgotten how off-script they went with the Fal Dara stuff 🤦🏻‍♀️. I think the "Asha'man kill!" moment will still work if we get Dumai's Wells (and we must do, it's such a big plot point in the books). The men are all working individually and attacking humans so it still has that sickeningly dark aspect to it instead of the looney-tunes 'splosions and lightning bolts in the S1 finale. Keep that optimism up my friend, we still get to see WoT on screen 🥳

    Yet another entertaining video. Congratulations ladies, you both know your bookshelves well 🎉 Rachel, I love that you have held on to your childhood books, and they all seem mint condition. I’m amazed at your Milly Molly Mandy tome 😮 I have one smaller one episode book that I had for a birthday in the 1960’s.😊

    Hi ladies, I’m trying to follow your examples and I’m 32 books in to my target of 52 for the year. I’ve impressed myself by reading ebooks and listening to audiobooks from the local library something that I’ve never done before, but now enjoy. I banned myself from adding to my book collection, but have read a couple of library books because they looked good and I have made a few purchases from charity shops and a couple new from the works. However, I’m not rebuking myself because these obviously found me 😉. I wasn’t planning on reading non fiction at all, but have also read a few… my book shelves still seem pretty full 🤷‍♀️. Xx

      You are well on track for your target! Impressive! Of course, book buying doesn't count if the books find you :) Hope the second half of the year is as successful as the first!

      Thank you! I hope you manage to convince your brother, it's great to have a new person to yell with about the Cosmere. I have that same wish, but alas we must live vicariously through our friends and family instead.

    Infused? ^^ I read a book a few years back called The Language of Flowers, it was lovely. It follows a girl who’s through the foster system and then grows into adulthood and has to find her way, and she finds a job in a flower shop and the flowers have different meanings. Can’t remember the authors name, maybe Vanessa something :) Very sweet and just a touch of something magical.
