    One of the best sci romance I’ve read is one that literally reads like a poem. It’s so beautiful and jarring and a wonderful mixture of nature and space. It’s how to lose the time war and I’d take a bullet for it. It swings between a narrative and a letter exchange format it’s super good.

    Highly recommend World of Books for ordering cheaper, secondhand and new books. I've been buying from them for years, and they've been great. They're also more eco-friendly as a company (as far as I've been able to tell) and have a very small carbon offset charge to orders. Just a thought for anyone mourning Book Depository's death lol.

    Just wanna drop this video idea here: I watched The Phantom of the Opera a few days ago and since then I've been obsessed, unfortunately I can't read the book yet (but I will!). Then I remember that is one of your favorites and came craving for a whole video about it, but didn't cover the entire book, and the a thought that would be amazing a long (yes) vlog rereading it and maybe one and other retelling. Like an overdose of Phantom of the Opera 🤲🏻

Its fantasy, its got adventure, romance, palace intrigue, a morally grey character, and Yona undergoes some of the best character development I've ever seen! I went into it thinking it'd be a regular shoujo manga (those are super fun too! ) but was pleasantly surprised by the depth and just overall fun vibes? Highly recommend!

    Kirk : No, I mean Emma smelling books like an old fine wine. I did that when I found my copy of Gibbons.
    Spock : In fact, Captain, you are not the only one to do that but the habit is mostly lost nowadays.
    Kirk : Why, Spock, why?

    I really enjoyed your video recreating recipes from "Kitchen Princess"--maybe you could do another one for Omnibus 2? Btw, I'm fairly sure there's a Korean movie or drama based on "I Have the Right to Destroy Myself".🧡

    You should totally read the Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula le Guin. Great sci fi book about winter!

    I recommend Some Desperate Glory, by Emily Tesh! Queer romance in space, but also so much more!! I just finished it and it was one of my favourite reads of the year. I’m really sure you’ll love it as well!

    I'm trying to get into reading and you're making it so much easier for me. I'm currently reading Eight Perfect Murders and I'm loving it. Thanks 😊
