      I had the video in fullscreen mode and exited fullscreen to come and make a comment about that sentence and here was yours at the top of the comments
      While this is so relatable it also made me kinda sad! It's a lot to ask of poor books, to compete with the tiny shiny dopamine machine.

    oh my gosh, seeing As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow in this video was such a lovely surprise! I'm friends with Zoulfa in real life, and she is such an amazing, determined person, and i truly believe she will make great change with the stories she tells. It's been an honour to sit next to her while she wrote parts of this book and to read one of the early versions of it. On behalf of her (because I'm certain she would agree) thank you for reading her book!

    I felt so sad throughout you didn’t pick The Night Circus because it is a book that TRANSPORTS you! It’s really one of the most atmospheric books I’ve ever read!
    Also, I’m in a buddy read book club with my friend and I think we’re going to try this version of a 24-hour readathon - I think it’s genius! 😊

  • @agothbee
    @agothbee 2 года назад +20

    i highly recommend a tale for the time being by ruth ozeki because that book TRANSPORTS you. It is quite sad but it feels extremely real like I looked up several times if the main character was a real person because it felt extremely relatable. It’s also in a multiple pov format so the pacing is a bit faster and there’s also an aspect of the book where the main character learns to appreciate the little aspects of life (which I know you love), also THE WRITING OMG I was completely hooked by the first page and felt that way throughout the rest. I would give ozeki another shot cause I think she’s worth it and I think you would really enjoy it 😊

    • @allisonpaiges
      @allisonpaiges  2 года назад +3

    My heart jumped with a wee bit o' joy when you picked up "The Night Circus"!!! I generally read the classics but every now and then try a contemporary read for diversity and to overall shake things up. This time I simply wanted to go some place fun, far and away, and 400+ pages in, I am not disappointed. Note: I'm also not a circus person and this story has more to do with magic and relationships so do not let the circus thing deter you. Though my girlfriend told me that I need to read this and "Water for Elephants" back to back, but I've heard that is a really good story too so, hey, I'm in! 😍

    • @ComeUndun.
      @ComeUndun. 2 года назад +1

      I read Water for Elephants 11? 12? Years ago, but I remember becoming completely engrossed in it.
      Like you, I don't love the circus feel, I'm on the opposite end, where I'm thinking "I should read The Night Circus. I liked Water for Elephants, so I'll probably like this." 🤣

    • @deblawrence8341
      @deblawrence8341 2 года назад

      @@ComeUndun. I just finished "The Night Circus" today and like you, was completely engrossed in it. The ending wasn't a surprise as there are fortune tellers within the story, so you have a feeling where things are going. For me it was the beauty of the story telling and how Erin Morgenstern literally invites the reader into the intricate details and world she's sharing with us. The last chapter is directed to "you" the reader, and for me at least, that was very special and pretty darn cool. Looking forward to Elephants and I appreciate your comments! If you think to do so, if you ever read The Night Circus, please share with me your thoughts. ❤

    I always look forward to your videos, they're such a cozy way to spend part of my Sunday :) I really think you should try picking up The Night Circus! I feel like it has the cozy vibes you're looking for. If you're hesitant about the circus aspect, the "circus" itself isn't much of a circus, it's more like a bunch of tents with magical art installations? That's the best way I can describe it at least!

    This is so random but I love a lot of the same things you do in books (and I’m 8 years older than you) but have you seen the movie, Now and Then? I feel as though you may enjoy it. Coming of age, girl friendships, major life issues and traumas and how that can carry to adulthood (granted it was a 90s made film so there’s some general issues with it) but it’s still one of my favorite movies ever.

    I've been hard pressed to get myself to read anything lately but hopefully I'll be able to pick up some more reading this December once I'm done with my work for the term. I have Early Riser by Jasper Fforde and R.S. Thomas' Collected Poems out from the library that I want to try before I go to my parents' place, and my copy of A Cat's Day by Genie Liang arrived about a month ago after backing it on kickstarter. Do you dabble much in the "literary classics"? My uncle recommended me a whole bunch of them that I'm hesitant to try to read because I know that they're going to be written like they're the age that they are (early 1800s etc) and it's going to take commitment to settle into that writing style.

( reference to the tiktok audio )
    i agree that the writing was beautiful and there was so much potential but the author has a habit of going off on tangents which seriously threw me out of the story. considering the length of the book, the authors inconsistency and lengthy tangents just made it .. :|

    Hi! I'm new to your channel and reading as a hobby! I noticed you read with headphones on, what are you listening to?

    I think at some point in the background was music from the Sims 2 or 3. It just catapulted me back into my teen years 😅🙈

    Loved this! I wonder if you'd be interested in The 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance Comic Book: (Revised and Expanded) by Gord Hill. It might feel a bit more accessible for some folks.

      @@mikemcdonald7281 Yes I recently read Eleanor Oliphant and wowow it was such a great book!!! Eleanor isn't explicitly labeled as neurodivergent but seemed to be written/coded that way. Definitely some complicated parent relationships and emotional abuse mentions, so take care if those might affect you, but I highly recommend it: I was immediately invested in the characters and the story itself.

      ​@@rachelberan8741 I loved Elinor Oliphant too and The Maid is quite similar, but the mystery element has a larger role in the story (I enjoyed that, but it depends how much you like murder mysteries).

    Hello, concerning your migraines, I wonder if you've heard or thought about an ear piercing? They've popped up a few times on my fyp and many people say that it helps.
