I really love both your spreads and your honest reviews. Would you consider a video on how you do your title lettering style is so beautiful.
Thank you so much! I hadn’t considered doing that but I’d be more than willing to make a video about it!
Your spreads are lovely! I've also tried a few Neil Gaimen and I just don't get the hype. I was bored to tears reading each book. I've officially given up.
Thank you so much 😊 and I’m glad to know it isn’t just me 😅
I also can not get into books that are written by him, alone.
I've never read any of his books. I was going to this year. However, if the movie is better than the book, I'm going to pass.
It’s 1am here in New Zealand and I’m binge watching your videos
10:40 I read thinner and I loved it so it’s fun hearing a different side. I think that new King is better. Could be cause I’m 25 but I’ve read 30 of his books and I prefer his newer works
Also I feel like a lot of Kings books in terms of language and stuff haven’t aged well. I am currently reading his works in order and it’s very obvious it hasn’t aged hahah
Omg 😅 thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed thinner! In terms of new vs old king, I feel like I’m pretty mixed. Some of my favourites and least favourites come from both time periods. I haven’t really loved any of his newest things, but I love 11/22/63 and the Institute. And you’re totally right. Some of the language he uses in older books is highly questionable
@@guessimbeth 11/22/63 and the institute are some of my all time favourites 😍😍
Love this so much! Please don't stop making these kinds of videos.
Thank you so much!! I’m r really enjoying making them so I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon 😅
Ugh miss Beth!!! Your videos are gorgeous. I’ve watched them all and this is my 2nd time watching this one. It’s very relaxing and I love your honest reviews of the books. I love all of your spreads and I took inspiration from some of your spreads to create some of my own in my journal. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
love the video! I look forward to them every month!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
You should try some of the more adult novels by Neil gaiman. I was teaching a English class who were reading Neverwhere and Ive never been more sucked into a story. Also stardust is good too if you would rather a romance instead of a mystery.
Thanks! I might have to check those out when I inevitably decide to pick up another Gaiman book 😅
@@guessimbeth I honestly like Gaimans older books rather than his newer ones; Stardust (which got adapted to a better movie imo), American Gods (which got adapted to a worse tv series), and Neverwhere (which the book was adapted FROM a tvshow and the book is better). The last book I read from him was The Graveyard book and it was kinda meh for me and havent picked up any of this work afterwards.
Okay, that’s really interesting. I didn’t know any of those other than American Gods had adaptations. Thanks!
I’ve only enjoyed The Graveyard Book and Instructions by Neil Gaimen. You aren’t alone.
😅 thanks! I’ve never heard of instructions so I might have to check that one out too
im currently reading the sandman comics by neil gaiman cause i loved the show i had to read it im loving it so far so maybe you can try that one next.
Ooh that’s not a bad idea. I tried the show and didn’t love it, but not because of the story. I might have to check them out
💚🖤
😊
I think you'll be disappointed by Good Omens as well. I agree with you about Gaiman's books. Although, who knows. Maybe the Terry Pratchett influence is enough to change it.
What is the adhesive applicator thing you're using?
Good to know. Thanks! And it’s glue tape. It looks like white out but it dispenses double sided tape. Here’s the Amazon link that I use: a.co/d/8SkklZv
Great video. You made so awesome spread.
Thank you 😊😊
I truly enjoy your videos especially after a long day at work today…it’s so relaxing and gets me in the mood to journal! Also, the little booklet of decorative paper that you use, where is that from? I really like the sizing of it and the designs 🫶🏼
Thank you so much! The paper books are just from my local dollar store. They’re 4x4” but Michael’s sells little booklets just like them in 6x6”
@@guessimbeth omg no way!!! I’m going to my DS tomorrow after work and see if mine have them! I love the smaller size bc I do my book journal in a TN standard size so those 4x4 papers are perfect! And you’re so welcome! 🥰🫶🏼 you give me lots of inspiration 🥰
I have had the same experience with Neil Gaiman books. They’re not for me. Beautiful spreads!
Thank you! Glad to know it’s not just me 😅
I absolutely love your pages! They are so gorgeous and I look forward to these videos every month.
I totally understand the Neil Gaiman struggle. A lot of his works have been adapted beautifully but sometimes the works are a bit of a struggle to get through. I’m going to try GoodOmens next just because it’s a dual work with Terry Pratchet so hopefully that helps.
For the last book, honestly that sounds horrendous. When you said that she started dating the guy she hates because she’s trying to get with some other guy I was immediately confused. 🤔 how would dating some other guy help you get with guy A? Usually the fake dating trope works when there’s some outside issue that requires “dating” someone. “Oh I need a date to this wedding!” “Oh I’ll be deported unless I’m married” “I accidentally told XYZ person I had a partner” stuff like that. It’s still a bit silly but those situations at least make sense.
I did laugh at you saying it seems like it was written for 10 years olds but honestly I would say that tons of middle grade books are better written with plots that make way more sense 😂. Lovely work! Can’t wait to see next months! Hope you have a better reading month in May!
Thank you so much 😊😊 and okay I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles with his works. I’m happy so many other people like them, but they just don’t seem to work for me. And yes, I was so confused the entire time with Better Than the Movies. The way youve explained the fake dating trope perfectly captures what I expect fake dating to be.
I agree so whole heartedly about Better than the movies. God it was terrible to the point that I just wished that everyone turned their back on the fl. She looked down on other girls while being the biggest weirdo, terrible daughter, best friend and to top it all her delusions made me want to throw the damn book away
I loved Vicious, I haven't picked up Vengeful yet because of the same reasons as you have mentioned but now I'm excited to give it a try
I’m so happy it wasn’t just me 😅 it has such a high rating. And I think if you liked Vicious, you’ll enjoy Vengeful. That rivalry between Victor and Eli is still very much present
The baby 🐥🍼 -sitters club
😊 I never read them as a kid, but I knew lots of people who did
I understand what do you mean about coraline the book and the coraline the movie. and if you felt that the movie is superior, I too felt that but for the game when I was a kid playing it in my ps2! I remember playing coraline before the movie came out, I remember how i was dying to watch the movie due to that game!
When I watched the movie I was little bit a disappointed but I was so grateful after reading the novel, the game pacing were better with its music, the movie music were (for me) were so light? I don't know how to explain it but My rating will be: game > Movie > novel.
I didn’t even know there was a game!! But glad it isn’t just me 😅
