This video cut short, due to realizing the rest of the video froze during recording and had no clue until I went to edit. So, I’ll do a follow up video to finish my thoughts on Grove and throw in Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, since that also got cut short in a previous video.
Omg this is so true and I can’t stand it! I live in a rural area. The closest bookstore to me mostly carries the trending books. Back in the day I could browse the stacks and look for an obscure fantasy book that I’ve never heard of, but I can’t do that now in my bookstore. And holy cow yes! Overuse of narcissism and trauma! Trigger also! Just because someone doesn’t like something doesn’t mean they were triggered or traumatized. And just because someone is a d!ck doesn’t mean they are a narcissist lol. Love your videos!
You might like a show on Crave based on a true story, A Friend of a Family. It amazes me how you see a happy family and someone will bring destructive powers into it b/c they're jealous of their light. It is very well done in the show. The actual girl, who became an actress, stars in it as the therapist and is one of the producers. Jack Lacy did such a good job, too.
I’ve had it on my mind for a while to re-read Someone at a Distance. I loved it. Dorothy Whipple is a wonderful, insightful author. They Were Sisters is excellent too.
Love your reviews! Have you ever read Andrea Lee? You kind of remind me of her. Sarah Philips, her debut novel, is a fav of mine. It's often touted as Dark Academia from a young African-American woman's perspective. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Love me an under the radar book & will defo check these out. My favorite UTR of last few years is As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann.. would so love u to review this Alana, it didn't get much love (a little controversial) but i think u would do it justice even if it wasn't a flat out 5*. Stays with me to this day..😉 And yes Whipples The Priory 💖👌😊
I'm quickly beginning whipple-pilled! Need to pick up Someone at a Distance; I see they selected it to make a second edition with cover and spine art, so choices need to be made of I want it to match my collection lol. Everyone go read The Priory!
i've read last year " someone at a distance" and i loved louise lool i thought she was a very interesting character. yes what she did was dispicable but i still felt bad her about her heartbreak. and the ending was perfect.
Louise is interesting! I do plan to reread it at some point and I wonder if my opinion may soften towards her on the second read. She really is a vulnerable character.

Yay you for promoting great books under the radar. I went back and listened to the older ones when in first started following you.
Yaaaay!!🙌🏼

I want to read They Were Sisters so badly! Maybe I’ll make that a priority this year 👀
@@alanaestelle2076 It’s worth it and some of it was surprising to me for the time it was written.
@@DebMcDonald ooooo good to know! 👀

Mass consumerism - Do you love the hype or love the writing? Methinks that it is most often the former.
PREACH! 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🙌🏼
Alana! We (I) want English-language books 😡
Hahaha!! Sorry not sorry 🤣
