Omg i so agree with the sexist part!! His description is truly of a man

I couldn't have said it better myself 😂💪🏻

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Thanks for stopping by 🙌🏻

🙌

Aw, thanks! It feels great to be back as well <3

Thanks! <3 And I have the same issue. TBR growing faster than I can read through it haha. So many books I wanna read 🙈

Thanks! Me too <3

I read Six of Crows a couple of weeks back and I definitely liked it better than the Shadow & Bone trilogy! And, I'm actually quite excited about Crooked Kingdom <3 :D

@@literatureliz91 yay, love that!! I only read the first shadow and bone and it was just okay to me, but these books are soooo good! Hope you enjoy Crooked Kingdom too 😊😍

@@LibrariesandLattes I had the same experience with the Shadow and Bone trilogy. It's just okay. Great universe, enthralling plot, but... still just okay :)

@@literatureliz91 yep, exactly! Did you watch the show? I did and loved it!! So sad they’re not making any more seasons.

@@LibrariesandLattes I did watch the show and... I actually didn't love it. I had the exact same experience, that something was missing and I couldn't really understand the two story lines (Until I of course found out it's two book series that they combined). Again loved the universe, the plot and looooved looking at Ben Barnes, but something was still just missing for me

Thanks! :D H.C. Andersen has written like 144 fairytales or something like that, so there are a lot of movies that are based on his stories :D I read in quite a few languages to be honest. Danish, Swedish, Norwegian. But I do mostly read in English nowadays. I've actually done so for quite a few years. I try and read the books in their native written language as I feel some nuances are lots in translation :)

Ooh, I didn't know there were audiobooks here on RUclips. I'll definitely check them out :D

Thanks for coming by! Sully's just great! <3

I'm currently reading The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake and so far I'm really liking it - despite it being a multiple point of view ;)

Yeah, I've consciously avoided watching the movie before I read the book and now that I've read the book... I don't think I'll be watching the movie haha. At least not for a great while :P

Ooh, thanks for the recs. I'll definitely have a look at them. If you liked them I've quite sure they're pretty good ;)

@@literatureliz91 hahaha thanks Liz 😊

@@Sullsworld 🤗

16! That's quite impressive 💪🏻 Oooh, so many mystery thriller recs. I'll look into them - I've already a plan to read Sara Blædel for an upcoming series of Danish authors :) Thank you!

So here are a few (too many) mystery-thriller suggestions - And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Th1rt3en by Steve Cavanagh The Crucifix Killer by Chris Carter Close to Home by Cara Hunter The Puppet Show by M.W. Craven Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell The Echo Man by Sam Holland His & Hers by Alice Feeney Home Before Dark by Riley Sager The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson Femicide by Pascal Engman For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn If you want any more details, let me know. I would add a few more but they have multiple POV, so probably won't be your thing.

Aw, thank you! :) Yeah, I feel like when you've read a book with an alcoholic unreliable narrator once, you see the plot coming from miles away in the next 🙈 And as I said in the video The Girl on The Train and Where the Crawdads Sings have very much the same vibe to them - the Crawdads is just.... sloooow haha. Let me know what you think about Stoner! I'm dying to talk to another person who's read the book haha 😂

@@RDsLibrary thank you for the (not too many) mystery-thriller suggestions! :D Do you know whether the movie Thirteen starring Jim Carrey is based on Th1rt3en by Steve Cavanagh? 'Cause I really enjoyed that movie 🙈

I couldn't find that Jim Carrey movie although he was in something called The Number 23. Anyway, the book hasn't been made into a movie. The tagline from the blurb is 'The serial killer isn't on trial - he's on the jury.' It's book 4 in a series but I haven't read the others and it didn't seem to matter.@@literatureliz91

I had a couple of February faves - The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington (fantasy). The Will of the Many by the same author was one of my fantasy faves from last year and this was way better than I expected from what I'd heard. I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman (general fiction with a touch of sci-fi) was intriguing and gave me plenty to think about, though few answers in the story.

@@RDsLibrary Sounds like you had a great reading month! :) I've heard of I Who Have Never Known Men and wondered whether I should give it a go - I just might now :)

No, I haven't actually. Do you have any you can recommend? :)

@@literatureliz91 certainly :) A great contemporary sci-fi mystery is Leviathan Wakes, which is the first book of the Expanse series. It's a detective noir murder mystery kinda story that takes place in the future (about 200-300 yrs). The series continues to have a mystery element in the next books but the genre of each book varies. From the classics, I'd say Asimov's Robot series is a nice spin on the detective stories. The short stories are more of a puzzle solving, but the novels are firmly in the mystery genre. And on the lighter side of mystery, I'd suggest the Murderbot series, it's amazing, funny, sarcastic with plenty of twists and turns. Another classic fun mystery is Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency (amazing, unparalleled British humour!)

@@AbhijeetBorkar Thank you so much for all the recs! Seems like there's quite a few I'll give a go and anything with "amazing, unparalleled British humour" is an absolute must-read ✨🙌🏻

@@literatureliz91Oh, and I forgot to mention books by Michael Crichton, particularly The Andromeda Strain is a good mystery novel. But also Jurassic Park can count as a scifi mystery too :D

@AbhijeetBorkar thank you so much for the recs! Feel like I've got my entire year of sci-fi mystery books sorted 💪🏻

I think I'm definitely more of a writing style reader than a plot reader, but I'll give Japanese novels another go at some point :)

Funny, I think I liked the first book the best 🙈 I don't think I've recovered yet from the thing with her sister though haha! Yes! It was so lovely to read a true slow burn again ;D

Yeah, I think you're right. The third book did feel a bit flat in general as if it was the last couple of chapters in a book that's been stretched out for too long (I also think the ending was a bit too happy/sweet) - I feel like if it has differed more from the two first books with Jude and Cardan truly finding each other and connecting (not just giving in to each other) the third book would have had an entirely different feel to it :)

You mean the discrimination of humans from fairies? 'Cause then most definitely. If you are thinking about something else then please enligthen me, 'cause then I don't think I saw it.

@@literatureliz91 yep you got it glad you saw it cause i feel like if you dont see the metaphor then you don't understand

No, it’s quite obvious I think. I also think it’s a common theme in many fantasy books that some races are discriminated unfairly. Probably why I didn’t address it although I should have 🤯

No but I want to so I appreciate this spoiler free review!!

also love your eyeliner!!

Go for it! Can't wait to hear what you think of it! :D

Aw, thanks! :*

I read the first book last week and I enjoyed it a fair bit. I wasn't holding out much hope for it as I'm probably (definitely) not the target demographic. But yes, Solid 3* for me, I will read the rest of the series to see how it progresses!

Thanks! Currently reading House of Flame and Shadow and with more than 800 pages it's definitely taking a while to read 🙈

Thanks! It's still unreal to me 🥹 I've heard so much mixed about Yellowface, but it tends to be a book you either love or hate it seems 🙈 Okay, I had to look up reserved/on hold and you're right! "Reserve" is the British English way of saying it - so... I'm going to switch back to saying reserved to stay consistent in my wanna-be British dialect 🙈 You're not the first to say listening to audiobooks is like learning a new skill. I'll try and perceive listening to audiobooks like that and see if it helps. And as soon as it's not raining like a monsoon anymore, I'll listen while gardening 🙌🏻

RIP TBR! I added all of them to my TBR and some of these are trilogies 🙈🤯 Very, very impressive to have read 23 books in a month. Dang it, that's being a fast reader! 💪🏻

You know what, you're right! I looked into it and Henrik Ibsen is Norwegian and not Danish and I did mean "A Doll's House", not the... Thank you for pointing that out! I was so sure he was Danish, but alas no 🙈

Yeah, podcasts and non fiction are easy for me to listen to as well. I just really want to learn to listen to fiction as well haha 😝 Thanks! I'm quite excited about this month's TBR as well 🙈

Thank you so much! ☺ I'm really looking forward to reading The Serpent & The Wings of Night. Right now I'm trying to get through House of Flame and Shadow. That book should count for at least two! 😆 Haha, yeah. I sometimes think the same about the original H.C. Andersen fairytales. I've read so many fairytales by Brother Grimm and I am loving them - although I probably wouldn't be reading them to my child before she's rather old 🙈

I think so too! I'm really excited for this month's TBR ✨ That's actually a really good tip! I might try that. The narrator has all the power when it comes to audiobooks. Honestly, I just want Stephen Fry to narrate all audiobooks. And Ben Barnes 🙈

@@literatureliz91 haha so true! I wish more famous people with good voices would narrate audiobooks 😆 I really enjoyed Tom Lake, which was narrated by Meryl Streep! And you could always try a book that you’ve already read and loved as an audiobook, as another way to practice 😊

@@LibrariesandLattes You know, that's an excellent idea to listen to a book I've already read! 💪🏻

@@literatureliz91 here to convince people to listen to audiobooks! 😆👍

@@LibrariesandLattes And you're doing well! 💪🏻

Hi Spike! Thank you so much for the recommendations for a Japanese Literature Newbie! 🙈 I’ll give the ones you’re mentioning a go the next time I dare to dip my toes into Japanese Literature again 😂

Can’t wait to read either of them! But first I’m trying to get through House of Flame and Shadow - that’s like two books in one AT LEAST 🙈😂

Surely not me! 🙈

✨🙌🏻

Aw, thank you so much! I have a few more videos in the same style lined up soon, since so many of you really enjoyed this vlog style 💪🏻 Aaand they're so much fun to film as well ✨

@@literatureliz91 yeees please more of them! 💕my book shopping video was one of my favorites to film, but your take with libraries is so much better for your wallet 😄

@@Vivsbooks You're so kind! ✨ Haha, yeah - the library is great for your wallet, but I must admit my wallet is still suffering - I just buy different books than the books I can get from the library 🙈

@@literatureliz91 haha at least take us with you book shopping as well - so we can count it as a win win 😉

@@Vivsbooks haha I promise I'll take you book shopping with me some day 🤣

Thank you so much. Those are some really kind words :) I will most definitely check him out. Thanks for recommending! :D

Ooh, I'll definitely check them out! Thanks for recommending me! :D

I'm glad you like the video! I had so much fun making it :D

@lu5587 Thanks! It was fun making as well :D I haven't heard of that book. Let me know what you think of it and I might have a go at it myself :)

I'm glad you liked the book. I have yet to read it, there's been too much illness this month to get through my TBR for the month. Hopefully, I'll get to it in March 🙌🏻

Can't wait to read it! 🤩
