    I haven't read Beach Read yet but I think the discussion about literary genres is so valid, I think every type of story has a public and a special characteristc that makes us happy, no need to put other people down for liking what they like. Also, I really like the trees in the background, especially the one giving us a model face 😗

    I love nature, love to take a walk in nature, to look at all that nature gives and I love to read in nature, to sit and listen to the sounds of the wind and the rustling of the leaves. Especially at evenings, sitting outside, smelling the evening air, feeling and seeing the light of the sunset has something incredible and peaceful about it. Discovering the plenty of animals and insects that crawl around, day and evenings listening to them and watching, how the butterflies exchange their spots with beautiful moths is an incredible experience. The day gets even better when watching Emmie's videos which are as calming as a peaceful evening in a garden next to the pond in where the frogs sing their songs.

    The way my brain is automatically conditioned to get happy as soon as I hear the intro melody of your videos... The intensity of the feeling is only ever matched by how it automatically goes into withdrawal as soon as you say 'ciao' 😂 oh boy. Also, I'm living for all your lake content. You literally took me into such a nice vacay 🥺😊 it looks so peaceful and amazing.

      @@emmiereads I think it's a beautiful work! It's based on a real romance of the author and Indian poet Maitreyi Devi. Funnily enough, Devi was unaware this work existed, and published her own account of the romance as "It Does Not Die" in English. Eilade actually promised her that the story would not appear in English until after their deaths, which is why a novel from the 1930s took so long to see our side of the world. Fascinating history!

    Totally agree and I think beach read is completely mistitled and the cover is misleading! I love gus way more than January and think its speak a ton to they type of people who just assume way too much! Assume a person is this way bcs of x and assume y bcs of that it just annoyed me! I think I loved this book with its flaws bcs I connect to gus a very large amount and my father lived many different lives I was never connected too, but I see its flaws for what they are! But yes January was very complainy and her assumptions were annoying!

      Read things that you're interested about, not what others tell you read. Try different styles like audiobooks or graphic novels. Be patient and enjoy it. Read for the experience not for the sake of reading/trying to get through quickly.
