Actually The Near Witch wasn’t just one of the first, it was literally Schwab’s debut novel. And it was published years ago, it went out of print and got reprinted this year with new covers and everything.
I said one of the first because of the authors note in the beginning! She mentioned that it was her first published book but that she'd written another in high school ☺️
I totally think that Catholicism can be considered part of your heritage and a book with a catholic character can totally work! I definitely won't mind watching a video when you talked about your rating system and if you ever go back to change the ratings on a book. Like if you enjoyed it back when you read it 5 years ago, would you go back and change the rating if your views and enjoyment of the book has changed? etc. Yes!!! I am here for the Rhiannon love!!! They do deserve all the love and all the recognition!!! And of course you wrapped things up with some play time with Luna and some studio Ghibil time with Adam. Loved the vlog as always Brittany :). Thanks for sharing.
Tenth Girl takes place in Argentina!! I'm definitely reading it because I'm Argentinean too and there aren't that many books that with that representation 🙃 but the book sounds sooo interesting!!
In Daniel Silva’s “A Death in Vienna” - there is a Argentinian Secondary character, and a portion of the story takes place in southern Argentina... other than that nothing else I can think of
Every time you check in on these vlogs it just takes me by surprise how beautiful you are! Wow! I love your make up and your hair!! Girl! U R gorgeous! :D
I thought about how you couldn’t find any books that have Argentine characters, and a few books I liked were A Death in Vienna (Daniel Silva), How to be a Nun (César Aira), and Hopscotch (Julio Cortázar)
It's not out yet, but maybe for a similar challenge, you could check out Lobizona by Romina Garber. It centers around an Argentinean girl and Argentinean folklore. And it's YA Fantasy!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile if you get the time, you should check out her debut series "Zodiac" under Romina Russel to get a feel of her writing, she addresses so many real world issues about xenophobia, immigration and a female in power by using scifi fantasy.
A book that has Argentinian rep is The Tenth Girl...tbh this is the only book that I could think of that has an Argentinian character. I know it is way too late but I always love finding books that have my heritage repped in them (I'm Cuban so I love being represented). Have fun on your trip!
Readathons are normally week long events hosted by specific booktubers with different prompts! It's for anyone and you read basically whatever works for you for each prompt (sometimes there's a group book)! But it's not so much about buddy reading as fulfilling the prompts to your own accord ☺️ I normally find most of the readathons I participate in either through book tube or on twitter!
For your heritage challenge you should read The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring, here is the synopsis: A haunted Argentinian mansion. A family curse. A twist you'll never see coming. Welcome to Vaccaro School. Simmering in Patagonian myth, The Tenth Girl is a gothic psychological thriller with a haunting twist. At the very southern tip of South America looms an isolated finishing school. Legend has it that the land will curse those who settle there. But for Mavi-a bold Buenos Aires native fleeing the military regime that took her mother-it offers an escape to a new life as a young teacher to Argentina’s elite girls. Mavi tries to embrace the strangeness of the imposing house-despite warnings not to roam at night, threats from an enigmatic young man, and rumors of mysterious Others. But one of Mavi’s ten students is missing, and when students and teachers alike begin to behave as if possessed, the forces haunting this unholy cliff will no longer be ignored... and one of these spirits holds a secret that could unravel Mavi’s existence. FYI Sara Faring is an Argentine-American author!
NO DON´T READ THIS BOOK IT´S TERRIBLE! Okay, I normally would not say such thing, but this is NOT a good representation on indigenous people and culture. To exemplify that I´m gonna leave a link here to a review in goodreads made by a Brazilian booktuber( I know she´s not Argentinian, but she really talks about the indigenous population on the book, which it´s something that both Brazil and Argentina have in common) that shows how much imperialist, xenophobic and stupid this garbage is. www.goodreads.com/review/show/3013312573
I loved the Near Witch, but the BEST part of that book was Cole's story at the back. God I could have read a whole book about William.. it was so sad..
A lot of people are mentioning Tenth Girl in the comments which is cool because it just came in at my library I didn't read You but I did watch the show and I loved it! I thought the acting was so good and yes he was super creepy and awful! But the second perspective also makes it feel like the audience is going to get in trouble with Joe which makes you even more uncomfy! But i guess in a good way in a 'thriller' way haha
Your could ask Emily over at arrrrg schooling about books with an Argentinian character. She writes homeschool curriculum that's decently inclusive and might have a good idea for you.
Have you read, The Story of the Night by Colm Tóibín?. It's set in Argentina and has Argentinian characters ect. Hope you have a safe trip. I've been subscribed to your channel for sometime now but I've never really commented. So I just wanted to say "hello."
This is random but when I first found your channel I thought you were a girl I met in college because you looked so similar to her. Like you could be sisters you look so much alike. Although she's Brazilian instead of Argentinian.
@@BrittanytheBibliophile It´s ok. I hope you enjoy your time in here!!!. Soo my question is where did you born? Like in Buenos Aires city or another state?
Rhiannon from Crescent moon reads! I tagged them in the video in the upper right corner! (and just letting you know their pronouns are "they/them" for the most part 💙)
I swear, booktube is filled with the best cat content 😍
Agreed!!

Happy Halloween 👻🎃

@@BrittanytheBibliophile You just fucking ignored my comment?
You should definitely try reading The Silent Patient
Sounds fascinating!

It was such a different story than I thought it would be!

What did you think of Kiki’s delivery service?
I always love it! I definitely felt a little unsatisfied in the end though since the ending is slightly different in the version I watched as a kid
Yo te recomendaría que leyeras algún libro de Laura Gallego. Están en español y no sé si están traducidos en algún otro idioma.
Yo no leo mucho en español entonces seria interesante! jajaja
@@BrittanytheBibliophile No sé que nivel de español tendrás a la hora de leer, pero los libros de Laura Gallego tienen un nivel medio-bajo.
Yes, You is so so great
Hey, I didn’t know you were Argentinian. Greetings from Buenos Aires! 😊
💙
OMG i love that you are Argentinian!! I am too. I freaking love your videos. I wish I could meet you in Argentina.
I know! It's mostly a family trip though so it's not going to be much of me leaving their homes 😭
@@BrittanytheBibliophile It´s ok. I hope you enjoy your time in here!!!. Soo my question is where did you born? Like in Buenos Aires city or another state?
Who was the youtuber again? I've tried to look her up but there are too many things out there with that content

Can you speak Spanish?
yes!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile why not read a book in Spanish for the heritage prompt?
