    As a Brazilian, it warms my heart to see foreigners appreciating our literature (beautifully represented in this video by Água Viva, by Clarice Lispector - who was actually born in Ukraine but raised in Brazil)

    Such a cosy vlog (as always 😃)! I'm currently reading City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert, Mrs De Winter by Susan Hill (a spin off from Rebecca and would not recommend!), The Middle Parts of Fortune by Frederic Manning (a WW1 novel based on the authors experiences and is heartbreaking) and listening to an audio book of children's Christmas stories by Enid Blyton, they are really young but so cosy! Quite a mixed bag! I hope everything goes well for you getting back into schooling - I know that it can be tough physically and logistically! ❤️

    very much relate to the fear of getting back to work/school after having your brain being messed up. Sending the best vibes and hoping you have support around you! Right now I'm reading a swedish horror/dark fantasy about evil forest-spirits waking up and wrecking havoc in a rural area. Very very addictive and loving it, even though it makes me dream scary dreams lol.

I was really sad when I saw that the part people liked the most was the part that I kinda dislike - the third part, with the rushed romance and the cliche. Anyway, always nice to see you.

    I'm currently reading Mexican Gothic, and when I was about halfway through I also started Take a Hint Dani Brown, because boyyy I need something light. My current library haul is Mexican Gothic, The Vanishing Half, Remembered and The Night Circus. I already read The Vanishing Half and I loved it, but I think I'm gonna bring back the others and put them on my tbr, because I really do want to read them, specially Remembered, but my mental health is really not in the right place right now, I really need a break from the heavy stuff.

    Hello Emma :)
    I liked "These Violent Delights" (I'm not a huge fan of Juliette, though) because of the atmospheric setting, the cast of characters (Benedikt, Marshall and Kathleen, especially) and the final plot-twist. It was a fun read, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts about it. ^^
    This video was so relaxing, thank you so much for it. ^^ Have a good day.

    I just ordered "Lost Boy" which is supposed to be a well known and well liked retelling of Peter Pan. I'm hoping for a good time. I know the author has written several similar books about different fairy tales so I was afraid she had also written "Red Riding Hood" and that it was going to be a complete waste of time as well. I had to check her name, it was Christina Henry. Pewhh! There is hope.
