When you said: “I don’t mind big books I just get annoyed and kinda loose interest when they take me too long to read.” I was like: “finally someone who gets me!” I’m reading IT at the moment and even though I’m enjoying it, it annoys me because it takes so long. Have to read other books in between to have some sense of accomplishment.
I understand being a volatile reader. If I'm not in the mood I can't stick to a theme and once I'm done with a theme that interests me I'm off to the next.
Now is the only time I'm regretting not having a big physical TBR :- D And no Overdrive either but since I have a NetGalley problem (and now free books on Amazon problem), I'm fine for now :- D Good luck with The Goldfinch, I still haven't got around to reading it :- ) I'm looking forward to reading some more Liane Moriarty books very soon as well!
Haha, I had the same problem when the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy came out years ago and it has a character named Groot. This is the Dutch word for ‘big’ and the first few times it was sooooo weird to hear an English version spoken out loud, but now it’s really popular and everywhere and I’m used to it. I hope you become used to it as well with Mehr😂😜
I wouldn't mind hearing your recommendations for proper slow burn romances (particularly in the fantasy/sci-fi genres or at least not just books strictly classified as romances, but I'll take whatever!). I feel like a lot of people call anything vaguely "enemies to lovers" slow burn these days even if it's still a sudden turnaround. I want to see things properly built up and earned!
ooh I really want to know what you think about Empire of Sand. I heard great things from Sam from ThoughtsonTomes, and usually our taste in books matches very well, especially when there’s a good romance. But I find that lately my taste matches more with yours! So if you love it as well I’m 98% sure I’ll love it too
hello theresa! i would always love to see your book reviews i love it and i love it haa haa and how about what you eat in a day as a vegetarian i would love to see that too! Love from New Hampshire USA
Hello. May i request a video? I always love your reviews and I'd like to know how can I get better at it. I clearly know when I like a book or not, but sometimes I can't explain myself properly. Would be very nice to know what kind of things you evaluate when doing a review. Thanks! Hugs from Portugal xx
Hi, Bibliophile friend, Rarely readathon, but ardent reader of the subject I like most. I like quaint, musty smelling bookstore And like to read works of foreign as well as native writers, improvement, language learning, but less read old detective noir, sci-fi, no rancour or despise. Read mostly on various topics and subjects. It seems this quarantine will make me bibliophile. No problem I too don't like to secede the membership. You are welcome.
If you don’t enjoy The Starless Sea, then I guess don’t bother with The Goldfinch too LOL I hated The Goldfinch and it was a complete waste of time (as least for me) and Next Year in Havana is the first book, so read that first before When We Left Cuba! I enjoyed NYIH much better than WWLC!
I was also planning on reading Empire of Sand soon, but now I'll be unable to read Mehr as a name xD I had a similar problem with Darin in An Ember in the Ashes but I read it in German so every time a sentence started with Darin my brain interpreted it as a preposition :D On the other hand I managed to read over 400 pages of Mistborn without realizing that Elend is called misery, so maybe I only have this problem when reading a book in German...
sorry, WHAT ??? if i dare say, THE STALESS SEA is one of the best books i've read in 2020 and i can see that you didn't get it at all. see, it's a puzzle that you need to get the pieces together yourself, in order to do so you have to put your heart and mind to it and maybe you were not in the right mood for it. i can assure you that this story is unique and mesmerising and each story has it's own meaning. please give it a second chance.
I really have been wanting to pick up empire of sands. I'm hoping to read more on quarantine but since I'm working from home and my kids are having to do virtual school, I may actually read less 😂 and as a native Floridian, i would like to say we all pretty much hate the spring break kids who are mostly from out of state who are making our state look awful right now 😂
oh I know I hope you didn't think I was referring to Floridians themselves, definitely only talking about the out of state spring breakers ;) stay safe!
Going by the Hindi/Urdu pronunciation, I think Mehr is pronounced 'meh her' (i am so bad at phonetically transcribing, so I am just using my way, its like say meh, then say her)
Honestly, Mehr as a name sounds incredibly confusing to me as well. It might be spelt differently, but the Dutch and Frisian words for more (meer and mear) sound the same.

YES, THIS. It's the sense of accomplishment I miss too!
Yessss! Definitely have a ton of books to catch up on right now during quarantine.
Great picks! Loved The Goldfinch and I’m excited for The Last Anniversary!!

I'm currently reading "The Goldfinch" and would love to see you do a review!

agreed, I'll keep an eye out ;)
good luck! and stay safe :)
I read When We Left Cuba and didn't like it unfortunately. So I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it once you finish it.
OMG I'm struggling with The Starless Sea right now too!
haha Little Women is definitely a wholesome book! hope you end up enjoying it :)
happy reading

i like to read at least 3-6 books at a time (not at once) so i always have a big book as part of that haha i've always done it
oh wow I wish I could do that!
I loooooved The Goldfinch!! I hope you do too 😊
I had a hard time getting through starless sea. But after the halfway mark it started to make more sense and the pace flew better
NICE this is basically what I was counting on :P
I love your videos so much! Sending love from Slovenia and I hope you stay safe
Hi,
Bibliophile friend,
Rarely readathon, but ardent reader of the subject I like most.
I like quaint, musty smelling bookstore
And like to read works of foreign as well as native writers, improvement, language learning, but less read old detective noir, sci-fi, no rancour or despise. Read mostly on various topics and subjects.
It seems this quarantine will make me bibliophile. No problem I too don't like to secede the membership.
You are welcome.
24 hour readathon and book recommendations
No offence to your hard work but that flyaway hair is cute 😂😂😂
none taken ;)
Where do you bought that copy of Little Women? ❤
at Thalia (Austrian/German bookstore) but I don't think it's an exclusive edition, you should be able to find it everywhere :)
If you don’t enjoy The Starless Sea, then I guess don’t bother with The Goldfinch too LOL I hated The Goldfinch and it was a complete waste of time (as least for me) and Next Year in Havana is the first book, so read that first before When We Left Cuba! I enjoyed NYIH much better than WWLC!
wait, when we left cuba is a SEQUEL?? :O
ivymuse HAHA yup🙈🙈
I was also planning on reading Empire of Sand soon, but now I'll be unable to read Mehr as a name xD I had a similar problem with Darin in An Ember in the Ashes but I read it in German so every time a sentence started with Darin my brain interpreted it as a preposition :D On the other hand I managed to read over 400 pages of Mistborn without realizing that Elend is called misery, so maybe I only have this problem when reading a book in German...
haha Elend actually really bothered me as well XD

I am finishing the starless sea and it is so strange... i am not sure if i like it xD
haha can relate

@@ivymuse 😂 oh I'm pretty sure most of the world knows it's the non Floridians who make the state look crazy 😂 like no please leave us be lol
How do you find time to read so much? Just curious.
right now: quarantine :/
We have all bought a book based on and Instagram post lol
haha I guess marketing works :P
Going by the Hindi/Urdu pronunciation, I think Mehr is pronounced 'meh her' (i am so bad at phonetically transcribing, so I am just using my way, its like say meh, then say her)
oooh THANK YOU

Ammalyrical - The Frisian Atypical Reader pronounce it as may her (Mehr)
