Hiii! Just found your channel :D
Had your same feelings about Queerly beloved, it was okay and I enjoyed the puns and everything but I couldn't care less about the love story and.. well, that's not the best if you're reading a romance 😁
But I will be reading Here we go again soon and I'm quite excited about it, I had loved Kiss her once for me by Alison Cochrun!

[@noorsbookshelf]

hope you enjoy the new cochrun!

hello!! first time commenting on one of ur vids -- dont be so hard on urself!! i think u explained the books just fine

[@noorsbookshelf]

thank you that's so kind 🌷that's so cool that you're also doing art history! what's your area of interest? my thesis basically looks at airplane motifs in punjab's visual culture to examine how a desire to migrate shapes the state... so i'm looking at some textiles, a gurdwara where people make offerings of model airplanes, and these sculptural rooftop water tanks ✈

​@@noorsbookshelf hello!!! ur thesis sounds so interesting omg... when it is finished, will it be possible for u to share it? this is so cool!
as for my area of interest, i have to admit im not very sure yet!! wut i've done these past two years has mostly been introductory art history courses and my GEs to transfer to a four year uni... and unfortunately i havent been doing much of my own research/"homework" outside of classes and assignments. i aim to get better abt that this year 🤞 however, there have been a lot of modern korean art exhibits in the US popping up, and they've rlly stoked my interest in studying korean art history! im also getting into ceramics, so i cant wait to self-study korean ceramic history this year
