9:47 "written by a woman, but told from a man's perspective," ... I read this book, and from page one it sounded like a TikTok video that is anti-male. Han Kang delivered a feminist wet dream with every talking point that is a crack hit to promote every negative stereotypes from feminist theory. Notice how the sister's male gaze in part 3 is less pronounced compared to part 1 and 2. I'm surprised that there was restraint when talking about the kid trying so hard to make mom smile. It's a good product of TikTok before TikTok was invented. Maybe it's the seed to the tree of TikTok that makes the behavior of everyone in the book reflective worthy. When a guy malesplains, this is what it looks like when feminist theory is consumed with hearing women in the minority too. There is no balance of the male bashing.

a great video!!! could i have the links of the essays that you read?

eat the broccoli kevin

Wait until you read credence

This is a young adult novel?

I just started this novel, so far its interesting with its ideas, style, and creative viewpoint. I too have gradually become somewhat of a vegan in my sympathy for animals and nature. And i've become increasingly concerned about a greater collective intelligence that includes all of nature. I've gradually become a tree-hugger as they are so magnificent i cannot not help to admire and respect them but also the leaf the blade of grass the beautiful flower. Its about sympathy respect and love. And i owe no one any apology for this transition , this gradual awakening and discovery of which i am very proud.

Who would have thought that the author Han Kang would win the Nobel Prize in Literature back in 2022 and now here we are in 2024 as Koreans celebrate her winning the prize, people here in Korea are going insane over her win and buying all her books. I am so proud of her and big congratulations to her and her country. Her writing takes deep into painful human suffering and trauma that we all humans can relate to especially in this day and age with all the war and suffering we are literally witnessing right before our eyes. She is an amazing writer and a wonderful and caring human being. God bless you Han Kang!! We all love you very much!!

Ugh I’m so glad I’m not the only one who didn’t like it. I wanted to like it so bad. I read the fall away series by Penelope and loved it so I had high hopes for this one and was let down. I was ready to get it over with to be honest. I was looking forward to reading some of her other books but idk now .

I love the way you articulate your thoughts, Mari! Please do more reading reviews 🤩

😊

Salad gang wya🥗

Love the video! Can’t wait to see more. You look great!

Dear Booklover and beautiful soul! My name is Agnes Black. Actually now I pray to the universe energies, my stars in the cosmos, saints, and guardian angels, because I would like you attention to me. I hope maybe it once time I success me. Please read my short book about the people's soul. I'm a hungarian lady. I published my book 4 years ago under the Covid. The Title Soul's Touch on Google Play Bookshop.(some poem, stories contain) when i was 6 years i learn 9 years in music school on piano. It was difficult like begginer, but i prouved there's not exist as impossible and could be to win first place so small hands. If the people really want something that make dream come true. Sure this is choice but yes the karma working and so important the pure and clear soul, 3. Eye(brain)chakra with meal detox. Intermitted fasting, limit/correct rules in the life ( nothing hedonism, money-,relationships-,nimfo-,alcohol-,drug-,cigarette-,sugar-,coffee-, fast foods mania, love-,game-, derby-, or addicted a create fictive, fake influencer's face paint in glitter effect -, terrorist/propaganda/ violence/ provocative/ critic/ rassism/ idea-, or any other mania) All intemperance stems from greed, which leads to immorality and dishonesty. Take love as an example. We can't destroy every marriage because of an adventure just because we like a person. But also too much sexuality, from nymphomania to pornography to pedophilia and molestation. Which can also lead to sexually transmitted diseases. Like a drug. They are addictive. They can escalate to violence and aggression. As well as the non-stop shopping, ("catfish", gold digger, sugar nanny/daddy effect)which comes from the joy of possession, and even could be into kleptomania. Hoarding, Harassment, these all create individuals infected with false politics, dogmas, ideas, and an atmosphere filled with vested interests, ulterior motives, lust for power, and abuse of power/right. There are also less extreme but more serious illnesses, such as eating disorders resulting from excessive maximalism. In which they turns from a rigid body image-idealistic mirror image construction into a marionette doll, a person who wants to control his life and make decisions with his own injuries. A hungarian writer Weöres wrote this:"As soon as we no longer have a need for pleasure, we will find out about its incessant mode, but we will not live with it, because we will no longer need confirmations of our faith or interests, in order to respect ourselves, humanity does not need to be made happier and wiser. We do not live with it... because the unchanged existence does not drive away the changing life, it does not even hate it, but rather embraces it. It does not want to help anyone, but it perceives evil as a teacher and endures it." We should not envy others, but admire and follow them. There will always be people who are better than us at something. Let's not deal with what bothers us, incites us to anger, upsets us. We don't even have to hope that our good example will be sticky or not. You don't have to send anything, but it will be bold, there will be one continuously, there will be something to do with our scraps. Let's just let others live and don't complain about them. Don't expect anything, don't ask for anything. We ignore what we don't get, let's focus on what is most necessary. Let's hold on to the flow - then everything will develop. I'm not talking about drifting, when we wander here and there to other people. The universe knows better what we need. It's bad to force anything. When we are not looking for something, we find it four-leaf clover. We don't have to understand everything and we don't have to search for answers that we can't get. There is no need to yearn/beg for the love and attention of others, to please everyone and to try to please everyone, only when we are bubbling do our souls fall apart into molecules. Nowadays, people revolve around themselves, they are busy with their own problems, and they attention. So when we talk to them, it's like we're talking to ourselves. There are people who were more extroverted as children than they were as adults, like me. They did not like to be alone much, they also looked for more and more friends, because they were still developing and growing up, full of knowledge, questions and curiosity. But the priorities and the order of values change. Especially when you love being alone. We will can to love the quiet. We will to understand that where nothing begins, everything begins. Thank you very much in advance from Transylvania ❤ have a nice day and year:) God bless you! Namaste xoxo, Agnes P.c: my ars poetica: " live and let live"

As a person who likes this book, I think you don't need to like how Misha and Rayn are in the start of the book, it's all about the character development of them imo

You just learned a subscriber girl ❤ I love your review❤❤❤❤

I don't even know why I'm watching this, and I certainly don't know if your review is an accurate reflection of the book. What I do know is that when you described the setup where the girl is the idiot cheerleader that she hates I thought "Oh, so actually this is a really good story." But when you describe all the other characters I just think "Oh no..."

neon gods is ok

Love your channel! Great Review!

Aghhh amazing Mariana!!! So happy to see you doing this, very inspiring 🙏🏽😮❤

ahh welcome back Mari! I'm Glad My Mom Died is also one of my favourites the way she handles deep topics with a light-hearted tone and still getting the important messages across is astounding. Sam was my favorite iCarly character so it's crazy to read about the things she had to go through but to see her grow this much and realise her talent for writing feels so surreal to me, i'm super proud of her haha. love your insights on these books, can't wait to see what you have in store this year!! :)

YOU ARE BAAAACK🥳🥳 TE AMOOO❤ Los voy a leer todos, 100% convencida 10/10 excelente servicio ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟

Everything u said is so accurate

I LOVE this book!!! Punk 57 is amazing

The book would be so much better if it was slow paced idk the ending was kinda underwhelming.

60% through and I was trying to see if it was worth pushing through but I’m going to say no and dnf lol

THIS REVIEW WAS SO GOOD 🥺 (the book wasn't, tho) I'm happy that I found your channel, will be looking forward to it <3

God exactly! When I was looking for opinions on such a book, everyone farted flowers and this book is my biggest shopping mistake. The characters are so childish and just plain stupid. The girl hasn't changed in so many years and I think people who haven't changed even a bit for the better in about 8 years are toxic. The spicy scenes are unrealistic and he manipulates her in most of them. I don't understand how anyone can like it

i think the plot had sooo much potential but just really bad executed

Misha and Ryan are both horrible people.

Earlier today I saw a tiktok marketing this book and I've been looking for reviews all day to see if it's what I thought it was gonna be like. Needless to say my expectations were met (tiktok book recommendations are pretty bottom of the barrel imo). This is great thank you I'm glad that you spoiled too lol.

I feel so validated after watching your video (also thought the random Anna Karenina spoiler was so unnecessary)! One thing that really bothered me about this book is how much of the story feels unnaturally pieced together. The characters are inserted into the story but don't really feel like a part of the world. The events of the story feel separate from the characters, and don't seem to really influence the characters themselves. I noticed that when you read the excerpt about Misha threatening/assaulting Ryen with the scissors aloud, the writing sounded extremely clunky, like there was a missing sentence or two. I have a theory that this story started as some kind of High School AU fanfiction that managed to fly under the radar. Mainly because it feels like a story that has been cut-and-pasted together from another source, though I could be reading too much between the lines.

I enjoyed the first 5 chapters and then it went down hill. I thought the idea of pen pals was cute, but I don't really like the characters. Misha is a hypocrite who hates that Ryne is faking her personality while he's roaming around here with a fake identity. At the beginning the author made Misha's sister death seem significant, but as we progress with the story Misha acts as if it never happened and only thinks of banging Ryen. The characters feel like objects with some dialogue since I couldn't sense any feelings or depth to them.

I gotta say I love your dog 🥺

The Reading List was one of my favorite books I read last year. It was so good!

Loved your thoughts in this video! Also crash sounds so weird!

Interesting hearing your thoughts on Cursed Bunny - I really liked it, but the stories you liked weren't the ones I most liked. What do you think it is about Mariana Enriquez's short stories that draws you in? I still haven't read her, but I want to.

I feel the same as you with Strange the Dreamer! GOD! The writing was good but the descriptions were way too long. The story could have been told in half the pages of the book. 🥱 And don´t get me wrong, I love a fantasy book with so many detailed descriptions.

The great gatspy was on my top ten this year too!

love it jajajaj :)

Beautiful make up by the way 😘

Hola hermosa preciosa 💖 10/10 como siempre Tengo un libro de niños que también es hermoso que deberías leer jeje (PD: talvez podrías poner subtítulos a la parte que leíste en español del libro para tus english readers)

Fun wrap up!! I’ve been so curious about Paradise Rot, thanks for the review :)

i want to read writers and lovers!! glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for sharing with us. New Subbie here!

I'd never heard BDB mentioned on Booktube. I read up until book 8 or 9 in Spanish. Mostly I stopped because I read a book-long fanfic about Blay and Qhuinn (my favorite pairing) and I thought 'I'm sure the actual book can't top this' tho I never verified this. They were of my first romantic/erotica books.

LOVING THE HAIRCUT.

Thanks for sharing! So cool to see all the books you read & I love how honest your reviews are!
