Neat book! It's like the woman's Gulag Archipelago.

Thank you for this! I’ve been looking for a list of book tubers who share non-fiction and you solved my problem. So appreciated you 😊

this book being assigned for homework for me made me dislike this book. I would've liked this book, but my school district decided to make this homework.

I just finished the series. I'd love to hear what you think about Ice & Ivy. I loved it! This is my favorite series right now.

Congrats!!! How does it feel months later? This is my goal as well which I believe I can achieve by end of 2025 (new releases are slowing me down, haha, though my owned tbr is under 50) I LOVE the idea of just borrowing or buying a book to read immediately with no guilt from ignoring my backlog.

Nice

Superb review...the series is truly exceptional..

I'm from Brazil, I've loved books since I was a child and I'm studying English by myself by reading children's books. I love your channel because it has close captions, so I can read what you say (at 0.75 speed, lol). Even if you don't make videos for BookTube anymore, I'll keep watching your old videos because you read very interesting books. Good luck for you in your new life! 🤩🤩

I need to do a TBR Zero project. It will take a while! I have decided not to do a book challenge with specific prompts next year, because I can't seem to read the many physical and e-books that I own. I would also like to get to the point of reading more library books.

Wow. Time flies. It is good to hear that you had such good experiences. And i wish you all the best for the future! It was kind of lonely in the german booktube space because it is small and people read different books. But i got to talk to some great german authors. So i plan on starting doing Videos again after i finished uni in october or so.

Video straight to the point. 👍

I m halfway through the 4 th book, and l now know what the fox means on the covers.

Interesting story premises and ideas, but the story-telling itself is dry. Dreadfully dry. The Life-Cycle of Software Objects has a whole wealth of ideas, but is as interesting and engaging to read as the title would indicate.

I love this book. Not to alert any spoilers, but the fact that all Aziza wished was for forgiveness made me weep.

im so glad i found you on booktube!! its been lovely to see what you've been reading and enjoying for the past years & i hope whatever else you do with your time is as wonderful as it has been to connect w u here !! <3 <3

Doing booktube for so long it's a natural thing that we change our perspectives and focus on different hobbies and passions in life. It's been good to know you and meet you and Sush in Dublin. I don't want to lose touch and hope to still meetup with the two of you somewhere again.

What melody is plaed in the end?

Nooooooooooooooooo! How will I do Hugo season without yours and Sush's review's of the books and stories? That is what brought me to your channel and what I will remember most. I was going to say I will have to rely on Kristenelle now, but I am behind the times with her. She;s aleady gone and just stops by to say hi. Your channel was the very first one I subbed to and I will miss you. Not all the folks whose videos I have commented on have replied and I have enjoyed our exchanges. I have recognized the landscape in some of your walks outside and I think we live nearish to each other. I hope if I should see you out and about some day that you won't be startled if I greet you by name and say hi.

Life has so many seasons. We never know where the road will take us. I am grateful for your positivity! ❤️❤️

Hey Shannon, I will very much miss your upbeat and positive presence here! But please don't be a stranger. I hope you stick around at least to say hi once in a while and let your old friends know you're doing okay. These personal connections are worth more than their weight in gold! 😊

Hi Shannon. This is a bittersweet video and I'm glad I manage to catch it as I'm only "returning" to booktube watching this week (the semester's coming to an end). I think it's always wonderful to look back how the experience changed you. In any case, excited to meeting ya soon!!

❤ My booktube crowd was from 2010, and I also felt like stop making videos myself. It's great to have followed you through your years here 😊

What a lovely way to look back and appreciate the experience. This feels like such an end of an era, even knowing this was coming and knowing we'll still be in touch & I'll be all over your Goodreads 😄 5 years is a real commitment in anything, you really enriched the community over that time. I'm just so happy it connected us. I do selfishly hope you feel like coming back sometime, but this reflection feels like a perfect end cap.

Loved your content, especially the ones with you and Sush. Stay happy 😀

Aw so sad to see this but I understand. I really enjoyed your videos as I’ve gotten some great recommendations from you, with many being books I didn’t see anyone else talking about. And I love reading underhyped stuff! You’ve also inspired me to DNF more, which has helped my reading tremendously! I wish you the best and hope you enjoy all the extra time you will have ❤

Oh, going to miss your reviews and channel a lot! It’s been lovely getting to know you and your channel more over time, and I hope you continue to enjoy reading and your other hobbies / endeavours as well ❤ these are some lovely memories and moments to end on x

Thank you for all the great recs and videos, Shannon. Wishing you all the best!

I will miss you. Really enjoyed your reviews. Thanks for all the videos.

Aaaaahhhh I'll miss seeing you on here. Thanks for the memories (and the wonderful books you brought to my attention; my TBR thanks you!) and see you on Goodreads ❤

☹️

I'm glad that you had such a good experience with your time with book tube! I know that you have taught me to dnf more, and you also helped me be better about using my library! Thank you!

Aww Shannon! I'm going to miss you on here so much, and watching this feels bittersweet. The books I've buddy read with you are some of my favorite booktube moments! I'm grateful for those and have loved hearing your thoughtful reviews over the years ❤

I will certainly miss your content, but I'm glad that you're making this decision for yourself. Wishing you all the best! 💜

This is the kind of reflective video I wish I'd made a year ago when I stepped away from Booktube as well. For very much the same reasons as you - life changes, new hobbies emerge, want to spend time on other things... I am so grateful I got to meet you through Booktube, to see you in person in Dublin, to buddy read awesome books with you. Friends are the biggest, best thing I got from Booktube, and you are one of them!!

I did not expect to have my heart broken on a Tuesday morning. Shannon I'll miss you so much! I can understand life taking new directions. I hope i get to see you either in videos on real life again. You were one of my favourite Dublin highlights! Ahhh I'm so sad. Sending many many many hugs

Going to miss you in my feed but totally get it 💜💜💜

How to keep house while drowning could be something I should read right now, as a primary carer and more or less the one who runs the house because of that, it's a lot to balance sometimes! And the drowning feeling can feel real 😅 I'm going to see if my library has a copy today. Yay for fun rereads.

I just finished The Moth Keeper. I absolutely adored the art and the colour palette in this one. I agree with you in that I would have liked a little more from the story itself. If it had been from a different artist whose art I didn't enjoy as much, it would have felt more drawn out. But I wasn't disappointed in having so many frames and pages without further dialogue and story because it meant I got to look at more and more of her artwork. I've been to Cappadocia in Turkey and the landscape in the book looks like it was hugely inspired by Cappadocia.

Yay for some lovely rereading! That sounds like a good idea to hit the spot. A bit of a bummer about Alebrijes. 😔 I do still want to give it a try, but I'll temper my expectations. Is it set in kind of the same universe as Last Cuentista?

Aw disappointed to hear about Alebrijes, but I’m glad you had so many great reads!

Always good to reread a favourite! While I have read uprooted before, I have never tried reading spinning silver. So many of my historical romance reader friends have been loving georgette heyer's books and now I am wondering if I need to try one too...

I keep meaning to get to at least one Georgette Heyer. I took Venetia out of the library and didn't read it before the due date. Is there one you recommend starting with?

Way to go! You really showed determination to meet that goal and even do your ebooks. I am focusing in 2024 on selective unhauling any books that I don't absolutely love because I have reached the point of having too many now that I moved to a smaller home and now share it with another reader. In the process, I am unhauling into my new Little Free Library. I haven't stopped buying, but for every book I buy, I do unhaul one. As of May 15, I've unhauled 155 of my owned TBR books; some of them I did read as part of the 75 books I have read so far this year. And I pulled out 30 more (so far) to go into my LFL over next month as space opens up in it. I am not counting my owned ebooks in this project nor my nonfiction reference books. It's not that I want a Zero TBR, but that I want to look at the shelves and feel joy. I am having fun as a LFL steward and getting to share my books with neighbors.

Congratulations! What an amazing achievement, and sooo motivating since I have recently tried to get to TBR 0 myself and am documenting my journey

I’m glad you liked the Worth Saga! I still need to read Her Every Wish, so I’m glad it’s also good! The River Bank sounds really good! Though it’s funny the cover blends into your background so well that at first I was wondering why you made the cover (the blue and red part) so small 😂 Glad to hear it’s slowing down for you a bit! Your RUclips plans sound perfect for this season of your life :)

I just got the bear and the nightingale by katherine arden so I am looking forward to trying her writing and seeing whether I want to try more of her books afterwards! Glad you liked warm hands of ghosts. I do like gothic books. You did so good with reading your way through the Courtney Milan series. Oh, I didn't realise part of your world was a series and that just for the summer was connected to that, so thank you for passing on that essential information! It's good to know so I don't accidentally read them out of order (although it doesn't sound like you strictly need to). Lots of romance here ^.^ Oh yes, I have heard that silver nitrate is more horror than gothic, and she does seem to switch between the gothic and horror with her genres. Do things at your pace and keep booktube fun x

good to see u back !! i know u dnfed it but i have put silver nitrate on my tbr haha from hearing about it ! the warm hands of ghosts sounds rly good also !! i think your plan sounds great, i hope you can continue to just do the enjoyable parts of booktube for you !! 💕💕 oh also i would love to know if u like the book the house of rust by khadija abdalla bajaber ? i just read it and i think ~ u would enjoy it :)

💖 I'm so glad you're feeling a bit back to normal as well! I really need to get to the malka older series now that I am back to librarying, sooon! Have also been missing romance, It has fallen out of rotation this year a bit, but Courtney Milan will be up on the list when I have time since you've sold me!

I LOVED The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles. My only complaint is that I can never remember the title when I try to recommend it. Did you pick up on the scene where Mossa wants to go to the opera and see Infomocracy, and Pleiti complains that the book was better? (Infomocracy was written by Malka Older.) I've started reading the third book in the trilogy that started with Infomocracy. It's a political espionage story, set in the near future, heavy with world building, very different from Mossa and Pleiti's story.

Finally have just for the summer from the library!!
