      Jess omgg An Inspector Calls! I wish we got to study that text instead of The Woman in Black. I personally find An Inspector Calls to be super interesting (the movie too what with my Remus Lupin as our main man Goole) but, then again, overanalysing can kill just about any literature. I will attempt to stay strong but I’m beginning to waver.

    I haven’t watched your channel in so long and I decided to check your channel out again. I picked this not knowing Taran was in this video. I literally started to fan-girl when I saw him because I’m currently on the second book of the novice series and don’t find it that similar to Pokémon, I think it’s a cross between all kinds of books but it’s also very unique
