Hi Rhianna, Thank you for sharing your writing journey so far. I thought your comments in the outro reflect how you are dealing with your feelings on what you write as you mature. All of us enjoy validation in what we do, whatever that may be, however your thoughts on writing for your own enjoyment and fulfilment trumping that need is so refreshing. As a much older person, I can assure you that 27 years is not old and that your time and effort with your writing may achieve some validation in the future. You have lessened the personal pressure on yourself in how you are going forward and who knows what that may bring. My best wishes with your endeavours and enjoy each moment with pride.
Thank you for your lovely comment! I wish you the best in your endeavours also :)
That‘s such a lovely melody! 🥰 I would love that as a ambient music loop so i can listen to it while reading the book!
Thank you! That is very kind 🥰
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯💯💯
Thank you! :)
I was weirdly so on board for Earthlings but felt extremely uncomfortable reading The Vegetarian. Loved your description of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!!
I completely understand! The Vegetarian is pretty unsettling. Thank you! :)
The book reminded me of My year of rest and relaxation, how funny that you felt that too! I loved the book and your review is great!!
Thank you! I'm glad you also enjoyed it :)
Very cozy! I love the music!
Thank you! :)
He can’t absorb Stormlight. Syl is the key. If you didn’t listen that connection is what makes him able. Speak the words!
How fortunate for me! I just started The Way of Kings (on Ch.14). I’ll watch this in sections as I read
Nice! I hope you enjoy :)
I get super excited anytime I see someone experiencing Way of Kings for the first time. Life Before Death! You are in for an awesome ride with the rest of Stormlight
I'm so excited to see where the story goes! :)
Get ready for an even more amazing book in Words of Radiance
So far my favorite Brandon Sanderson book and one of my favorite books of all time
Ooo exciting! I'm hyped :)
@@drewigi Wow, that's great to hear! :)
I definitely dont read as much as I should, lol. Im a big fan of horror movies, but i usually find the books lacking. IT definitely stood out for me i that genre. Hope you continue the stormlight archives! If you enjoy it, you might want to try out a wheel of time.
I have never read IT, but I feel as though at some point I will take that venture. The wheel of time is a series I would love to read in the future! Thank you for your comments :)
Im so excited for you to jump into this series. One of my favorites. Doing a re listen right now and about 12 hours to go.
Cool! I'm so excited to read Words of Radiance :)
McGlue is one of my favourite books, it got me out of a massive reading slump. An amazing read! Great video :) Edit: McGlue like Lapvona is very different from her other works, male main character and it’s historical fiction. However is is significantly better than Lapvona which I agree is not excellent
Great! I'm even more excited to get to it now :)
I think I just found my new comfort RUclipsr :,) ❤
Thank you! That is so kind :)
This is seriously so cool! I can only hope the og author can one day find this inspired tribute to their work. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your lovely comment! :)
I visited Berlin and Saint George’s a year ago and spent an hour there buying books. As you mentioned the pricing is reasonable and I also loved the vibe there. My favorite bookstore in Berlin. Great video!
Cool! I'm glad you had a chance to visit. It is really nice. Thank you :)
Oooh, for me the ultimate unhinged female protagonist book is I Love Dick by Chris Kraus. It's part-fiction-part-memoir about the author writing increasingly obsessive love letters addressed (but not sent) to her husband's colleague, Dick, who is more or less unaware of this increasingly invasive infatuation. It can be a very unpleasant read, it is a straight up invasion of privacy in the most uncomfortable way, but that also kinda makes it compelling.
Wow, that sounds unhinged haha. I will definitely have to check it out. Thank you for the recommendation :)
This is such a lovely review. I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews of All Fours, but yours is the only one that’s made me want to go out and read it 🎉
Thank you for your lovely comment! I hope you enjoy the book :)
thnaks for sharing
love this
Boy Parts was so disturbing, I loved it! Great video :)
Yes, very dark haha. Thank you! :)
I was there on N1 too. It was magical! 🌟 I was wondering where you bought your Cruel Summer t-shirt?
Cool! 🌟It's from amazon - just typed in taylor swift merch :)
Love ur videos
Thank you! I love making them, so your support means a lot :)
Thanks for your thoughts on these books Rhianna. I have been exploring for books that my wife may enjoy, as her birthday is coming up. You have given me some ideas to check out.🙂
Thank you! That's great - a book is always a lovely gift. I hope she enjoys what you choose :)
Amazing job! It fully captures vibe of this book
Thank you so much! :)
Nightcrawling is a great one to have a look at if you want more of the 'unhinged' female protagonist!
Thank you for the recommendation! :)
I think if Kathy from East of Eden was a protagonist she would be #1
Cool! I'll have to get to this book soon :)
this was such an endearing vid!! thank u for sharing this!! it was so nice to hear about your experience w/ booktube and the ways in which it has shaped you 💖
Thank you so much! :)
shout out eragon!!!!!!!!! i love that series so much
Haha me too :)
my favorite kind of book!!
Me too! :)
Brilliant
It was so cool! 😊
nice ... greets from germany
Thank you! 👋
Hello from Warsaw. What a nice video! The problem was not with Taylor's earpiece, but with the guitar port. If I remember correctly, it was mounted too close to another port. which caused some interference.
Thank you! Ah I see, it seemed like she was acting lol, so I thought it meant something 😂
I was there yesterday!!! it was amazing :)
Nice! It was so much fun 🥳
Suburban Legends and NYD are my fav❤
I love them too! 😊
It's always special to revisit childhood places. Many sensory memories are evoked, particularly in nature.☺
I agree, it's like stepping back in time 😊
I've recently discovered your channel thanks to a Turkish video that you've made about your progress in the language. And I thought that listening to your English will help me as well :) It's beautiful and inspiring to watch the transformation that you've gone through over the years. However, what is constant in all of your videos is your authenticity. You shine bright being who you are and it's so refreshing! Thank you!! Stay awesome :)
Thank you for your lovely comment! Have a wonderful day 🥰
beautiful. thank you!
Thank you again! 😃
what would you recommend out of of all these?
I think 10 minutes and 38 seconds in this strange world is the book I would recommend the most out of all of these 😃
Shuggie Bain has been on my list for a while. I am just scared that it is to sad. 😊 you explained it well though why we should read books that are more heavy
If you pick it up I hope it impacts you! It's a novel that stays with you 😃
I might need to give these a try! They sound interesting.
Nice! I hope you enjoy ☺
That's so exciting that you got the first draft out! Good luck with your book! 😊 I relate so much to finding a word that you use too often. I'm re-editing my manuscript now, and I'm going to have to go back again just to make sure I didn't overuse any words lol. Also, I have the same anxiety as you, so it's good to see that it's a common feeling! Not that I'm glad you're anxious... I just don't feel alone lol.
Thank you! That's great that you are re-editing your manuscript - good luck with your novel 😊
Good luck with your novel! Really enjoyed the vlog and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress :)
Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Rhianna, Your desire to write a novel is so validating for you. I gather that you have learnt valuable lessons over the years that have enabled you to get to this point, with the desire still strong for you. The anxiety you have does not strike me as unusual. I can only imagine that many people would share this feeling with such an endeavour. I look forward to your next update, which I hope is telling us that you are still progressing in the direction you wish to reach. BTW, I love your picture about us being a guest of nature. We definitely do need to behave! Best wishes 🙂
Thank you for your lovely comment! I really appreciate you giving your thoughts on the video. Have a great day! 😃
Hi Rhianna, This video just randomly popped up for me and sounded intriguing....it was! Your trip to Izmir peaked my interest as I have been there and found it so memorable. I love your take on your trip and then to hear you talk about the book you read while there was just wonderful. I have now subscribed and look forward to listening to your previous musings and book ideas. Best wishes 😊
Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm happy to hear you also had a good time in Izmir, it's such a great city. Best wishes too 😊
I love small content creators on RUclips being randomly recommended to me! Love your video, channels like yours give such a pleasant and cozy feeling ❤ Amazing!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! ☺
Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Woah, can’t watch this now bcs I haven’t read this book yet but it’s next on my list! Bet this is an amazing video tho!!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the book, it's a great read ☺
Just came across your channel and I absolutely LOVE it!! :D
Thank you so much! That makes me very happy 😃
Love you❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
