so many of you know that my reading goal
for how many books I want to read in a
year is 150 books I've only ever hit it
once which was last year but once you
did it once it's kind of like well I can
do it again you know so I thought let's
see how I'm doing cuz I set my good read
reading goal to 100 because I like
positive affirmation I like it telling
me I'm ahead of schedule but I knew I
didn't read a TT in July I knew I'd be
probably a little bit behind so we're
65% on the day I'm pering this of the
way through 2024 65% of 150 bucks is 97
books I should have read 97 books by
this point in the year to be on track
for 150 I've read 85 I've read 85 books
so I'm 12 books behind schedule that
threw me right back into the throws of
PTSD and you know if I was like five
books behind schedule I'd be like H you
know like I tend to read more in the
last couple months of the year so I'm
not too worried 12 12 books 12 books
that sounds like quite a lot 12 books
sounds like quite a lot so this week
we're doing a vlog to try and help me
catch up a little bit and make a bit of
reading progress Lux is also here look
how sleeping with the dogs they sleep
with and Tom's not here look at me so
happy so this week I decided to do
another of my seven books in seven days
Vlogs but I'm going to make it a little
bit easy for myself and I'm going to be
reading the seven shortest books on my
TBR so we're going to get through a
little book every day it's going to feel
pretty easy to do do but I think we're
going to have fun while reading it
actually when I was like finding out
what the books were for this video I
don't think I keep short books on my TBR
a lot because I read them quickly cuz
I'm like oh yeah this will be so easy I
can't go over his face isn't it so funny
his face just being over my shoulder
anyways so yeah we're going to be
reading the seven shortest books on my
TBR so let me run you through them
quickly let's run through them from the
longest to the absolute shortest on my
TBR so coming in at number seven with
205 Pages we have got the silver sword
by
cellier I don't know much about this
either this was gifted to me like on a
whim by one of you guys or it was
recommended to me by one of you and I
was like okay I'll read it I think it
set during World War II and it's about
these children during World War II I
think trying to find their father I
think this is like a children's classic
you know and I'm excited to see what I
think of it next we have split tooth by
tanak coming in at 189 Pages this is one
that I've wanted to read for so long
this was one of the ones in wrapped up
retro so it's one of the oldest books of
my PBR and it's prettyy much time I get
to it it's semi-autobiographical about a
young indigenous girl who becomes
pregnant in the 1970s and I know that
it's told in a very unique way so many
people have told me to get the audio
book I can't find it anywhere in the UK
for a life of me which is upsetting me
so I have to go and try and find that
I'm still really really excited to read
it I still think it'll be a wonderful
read I just heard the author narrates
the audiobook and I've heard wonderful
things but that's another one then we
have the start in a series but it's okay
cuz I in the second book already we have
the mimicking of known successes by Mal
aler this has 166 pages and this is the
start of like a Sci-Fi murder mystery
series with a safic romance in it set
and Jupiter I think it's going to be so
good I'm so excited to start this I know
Mara really likes this series so I'm
really looking forward to getting to it
it's published by T I love reading stuff
from t t is one of my favorite publishes
for all the kind of you know
experimental imaginative stuff they do
and the novelas they publish really
excited to get to that one next we have
our only graphic novel because although
graphic novels are quick to read They're
not technically usually short you know
but our next one is progress in a series
we have another progress in a series
actually later on um but it is Saga
volume 3 this one is sci-fi and we're
following a family and the parents are
from like two races who shouldn't be
allowed to be together and I've really
enjoyed the first two this is like a
long-term series for me to get through
cuz like I didn't read one of these a
year pretty much oh that has 144 Pages
sorry and then our next one has 134
we're getting low well guess what people
I get excited about small thing it is
Arch conspirator by Veronica Roth with
134 Pages this one is a antagony
retelling I have really been enjoying
reading what Veronica Roth has been
putting out lately in the past couple
years I really enjoyed post girl from
her I really enjoyed the arc short story
in the forward collection that she did I
just think the stuff that she's putting
out she's put out another novela I think
this year I just think the stuff she's
doing is very interesting and
experimental and it's obviously an
author who's like made enough money for
life for the Divergence series that she
can kind of experiment and do what she
wants to and I just find he's really
exciting and I love the sprayed edges on
this little addition then we have
another progress in the series we have
the brides of high hill by Neo which is
111 Pages this one is following cleric
Chi again and a Young Bride and there's
like ghosts the the ghost of the Lords
that the husband's previous wives on the
wedding night I think it sounds so so
good so cannot wait to dive back into
this one and then the last book is not
one I own physically but it is on my TBR
and I'm so excited I was look L I'm so
excited to read it it is goblins and
great coats by Travis B this is 25 Pages
this is like a short story really so I
think I'll save this probably for the
weekend when I'm probably going to be a
bit busier but um I think this is like a
mystery a lock room mystery with a
goblin detective written by Travis bowry
I cannot wait to read it I think it'll
be probably be 5S I can't wait to read
it so that is our TBR in terms of what I
want to start today I'm leaning towards
Arch spir or Brides of high hill this
one I know I'll have the audio book this
one I won't cuz I don't want to listen
to the a book for anymore cuz I know I
don't like it as much
um is I don't want to start the video on
a series cuz I like why you know these
are self-contained stories so I can it
doesn't spoil anything I can tell you
all about this cuz these books are
completely self-contained plots so
actually I think I'm going to start with
the brides of high hill I think it'll be
good to make progress on series get up
to dat in a series good tone to off with
and this one's pretty short it's only
100 pages so I think I'm going to go
ahead and read this one I'll probably
with this Vlog just check in with you
once I've finished the books because
well some of the longer ones I might
check in halfway but this is so short
that U I'm probably just going to go
ahead and finish it so I'll see you
later this evening it's half 4 now I've
got a few other bits to film and do so
yeah I'll check with you later once I
finished it but I'm really excited to
try and catch up with my reading goal in
this video
[Music]
Golden
Light Force Through the
blind wash away the worries like a
winding
[Music]
yesterday left far
behind your sweet s fills my lung
Soul good evening friends I have just
finished the brides of high hill by Neo
I think I'm going to give this five
stars what a start I can't believe it I
wasn't expecting that at all I cannot
believe how much I loved this I loved
this so I readed the um where are they
they're here actually I read the third
and fourth in this series earlier this
year and I didn't love them I think I
gave them like a three and 3.5 or a 3.5
and a four I enjoyed them but didn't
love them as much as I had and someone
Dred my memory they were like I think
you don't love the audio books well they
were saying they didn't love the books
as much when they listen to them by
audio book and I had read both of these
bya AUD
whereas this one I just read physically
and let me tell you you have to read
these books physically I'm a massive
proponent of audio books you know lady
hard cast I'm over here don't buy the
books let's do a books but this oh my
God there's something about Neo's
writing that you just have to read
physically and read in your own time and
like certain lines I think I think was
an audio book audiobooks are good for
like maybe books where the writing isn't
NE necessarily at the Forefront it's
more like the characters or the plot or
maybe where the beauty of the writing
style isn't the Forefront because I
think you just have to have these
moments where you an audio book is
constantly moving right you can't sit
back and like Ponder necessarily and um
there was just certain lines that were
like my God my God like what a moment so
the plot of this like I said is
basically re know cler G is accompanying
a young girl as she's going to marry
this older Lord and there's stuff to do
with his wives and um yeah I I I just
absolutely I thought it was going to be
a 4.5 but the ending has this kind of
twist that I just thought was masterful
but this felt the atmosphere in this one
is absolutely incredible it has this
kind of Gothic haunting atmosphere of
this old Palace that's kind of falling
apart at the seams and just the way like
Neo would describe the lighting in a
certain moment or some fish coming up to
the top of the water I Can't Describe to
how beautiful it was I can't believe I
did myself such a disservice in
listening to audiobooks of these because
I think you need to read this physically
you know this is the fifth in the series
but they're all you know kind of
Standalone they're all individual
vignettes of like a different
circumstance where cler Chi is gathering
stories you know cler's whole thing is
them um recording stories that's what
they're job is that's what their role is
is recording stories but there was
something about this one oh my God guys
I loved it I loved it I loved the twist
I loved the route it went down you know
it's hard to talk about cuz it's 111
pages I don't want to give anything away
but just the beauty of the writing I
like thought you know after I read these
cuz I never I talk about this series I'm
like oh Neo's writing is so beautiful
and after I read those I'm like have I
been chatting [ __ ] have I been like
remember my brain I was like how I made
this up do I actually feel like that
whereas this this is my favorite in the
series so far it bowled me over 10 out
of 10 10 out of 10 yep yep yep I love
the characters I love I don't want to
Butch the pronunciation what was the
girl's name oh it's n h u n g I don't
know Nung I I I don't know how to
pronounce that I don't want to Butch the
pronunciation but I loved her as a
character I loved their relationship I
just loved that I guys I just loved it I
loved it I loved it I loved it I loved
it I thought it was wonderful so first
put down
I think I'm going to try and Tackle one
of the longer ones tomorrow I'm feeling
like I'm going to go for the mimicking
of known successes I think I'm going to
get the audio book for this cuz I think
I remember hearing good things about the
audio book for this and um yeah probably
read it that way this one I might
checking with you when I'm halfway
through so I'll see you in the morning
but I feel like we' started off with a
good omen Hello friends I have been busy
busy busy today so I'm only just
checking in with you now it's like 5:00
I think but I am halfway the mimicking
of known successes so I wanted to check
in with you quickly about it um
obviously it's really short so I'm like
80 pages in 70 pages in but I do have
some thoughts so basically what you need
to know about this one oh guys when I
tell you the synopsis you're going to
scream it's sci-fi set on Jupiter After
Earth has become uninhabitable and we're
following these two characters and it is
a gender swapped Sherlock Watson
retelling but safic romance underlying
tone to it all and they're trying to
solve a murder together just take that
in just take it in just take it in take
in what we're experiencing don't me to
me
please send it to me Rachel and I
actually did read another Nolla gender
swapped Sher Waton sci-fi retelling at
the start of this year called the tea
master and the
detective and I didn't enjoy it I didn't
enjoy I gave it three stars I didn't
hate it but I didn't love it whereas
this this I am really really enjoying
there's something about the writing and
the tone the humility that what this is
written I can't describe it but I think
the we're reading from the perspective
of the Watson character and the way that
that character views the World Views
interactions views reasoning views like
I really love the perspective I love the
tone of voice of this and I love the
Sherlock character and I love the setup
for the mystery it's basically like I
think the whole world is built on
platforms and there's like trains that
go to everywhere and someone disappeared
from a train station so the suggestion
is do he jump off or was he pushed and
he worked at the University that the um
Watson is working out and I'm just
loving it I'm loving the um mystery like
I said I'm loving the way these
characters interacting they have history
right they have some some kind of like
romantic tension underlying everything
and I'm loving the way they're interact
I don't know if it's quite a five star
that would be pretty crazy to have
another five star after just having one
but I am really enjoying it I'm really
really enjoying it I'm glad this is a
series I can't already can't wait to
continue with the series there's this
kind of like I've only read one Sherlock
so far I know I need to read more I've
only read the first what is the first
one
called studying Scarlet is that the one
I no the one where it suddenly goes to
Mormons halfway through I can't remember
what one it is but it's got like a humor
that you associate with Sherlock and I'm
loving the setting it's it's really cool
interesting sci-fi it's it's interesting
cuz it's a noela right and sometimes I
struggle with noela sci-fi cuz I like my
sci-fi I want to imagine it and
sometimes you know this is trying to
like squeeze a lot in and so it's World
building has to be very subtle but I
feel like I'm starting to get there you
know I'm starting to understand what
we're going for I'm starting to
understand kind of some of the rules
like it's different fantasy is like your
magic system this is like what where are
we what's the world built up like and
yeah I'm just really enjoying it so I'm
going to go ahead and finish it this
evening I've got the audio book so I'm
probably going to listen to the audio
book whilst I'm doing some other stuff
but I'll check in with you later this
evening and listen another book read I'm
feeling pretty good about how this Vlog
is going so far I feel like we're
reading some really good books it's
later I need to start wrapping these up
a bit quicker cuz I'm wrapping them up
at like 11:00 every night and it's just
not good for me I need to be in bed with
like some eye patches on I don't know
but I have finished the mimicking of
known successes and I'm I'm going to
give this four stars I really enjoyed it
the pros of this the best parts of it
are the World building of this Jupiter
land that we've lived on and also the
kind of like what happened to Earth and
the whole discussions around that and
the romance of these two like kind of
both socially awkward people and this
romance that you're not entirely sure
like is it going to work out because
they've broken up once and they had
issues then and it's all very much left
unfinished in this one and like you're
rooting for them but you're also like is
this what's best for you how do you know
what's good for me that's my
opinion not necessarily the mystery but
I'm okay with that have I told you when
I'm giving this have I told you I'm it's
late have I told you I'm giving this
four stars I'm giving it four stars I
really enjoyed it yeah the mystery isn't
the pro of it I mean the mystery is fine
but it's not what you're reading this
for you're reading it for the world
building and for the romance the mystery
I feel like it falls into a trap that a
lot of short Nolla Mysteries do and that
it's difficult to to create a mystery
that you care about in that short space
of time it's difficult for L to have
antagonists to have the reveal of the
villains or whatever be characters that
you care about or be characters you even
know I'm going to be honest I could not
keep I only really kept track of the two
main characters in this there's a lot of
other characters and when the reveal
happen I was like I vaguely know who you
are but I don't necessarily because when
is a book is this short it's going to be
characters you've met once like who the
are you it's going to be characters you
literally met in one scene I I don't
mean just in this one I mean with any
really short mystery noela it's going to
be characters you met in one scene and
like if you weren't paying close enough
attention you have forgotten them and so
the mystery isn't the pro of it but
that's fine I didn't really mind that I
loved their relationship and I loved the
world building and the discussions
around climate change and the
discussions about how we deal with
climate change and the discussions
around like conservationism like like
how we take care of species and etc etc
like I think it was really really
interesting and I think this is a great
setup for a series a Sci-Fi mystery
series to go on so I am going to
continue the series guys I have just
done a sneaky little look and can I just
say so my goal this year is to have a
net negative in terms of series I don't
know why I'm whispering I was on 34
series currently reading series at the
start of the Year this year I'm
currently on 34 which to me is amazing I
can't believe I'm doing so well it's so
exciting I feel like oh I feel like I
might actually reach that goal what I've
got to do is like Keep On Track and
finish one more series or dnf one let's
be honest but I think I am going to try
and finish a couple or get up to date
with a couple so anyways um yeah I am
going to continue the series and I'd
recommend it if you're looking for like
a Sci-Fi Sherlock Holmes retelling it
was a lot of fun so yeah I'll see you
tomorrow once reading another book I
think we're going to read another one of
the longer ones tomorrow so either the
silver sword or split tooth so I've got
some reading sprs also my patrons
tomorrow so yeah I think one of the
longer ones would be good for tomorrow
because some of my busier days are in
the latter half of the week so I'll see
you tomorrow once I'm bit the ways
through one of
[Music]
those troubles fade away with you no
need for words to say Your Love a gentle
breeze that cares me
through I give up the world the moon the
sky for you i' re so High across the
ocean and St with briide for you for you
I I give up my dreams my hopes my view
for you what more could I ever
do good evening friends I said I would
try and check in earlier today it's
10:00 so I have failed I finished split
teeth by tenant G I made the executive
decision when I was like 20 pages off
halfway to not check in with you halfway
even though this is one of the longer
books because I feel like it was I was
saying it's going to take me till the
end to like fully form my thoughts and I
still don't know if I'm going to be able
to do this book Justice to you so all
you should really know is that it's like
part Memoir part fiction part poetry
part Pros about this young indigenous
girl growing up kind of an account of
her childhood and Adolescence and then
falling pregnant and this is by far one
of the most unique books I have ever
ever ever ever read I don't think I'm
going to be able to do it justice
talking about it to you I'm giving it
four stars just cuz I don't just cuz it
wasn't five stars to me but it's very
special and I can see people who
resonate with it more or you know
understand it's set in Canada and
understand like just different um
cultural or like geographical nuances to
things
um giving it five stars but yeah it's a
four star for me firstly one of my
patrons Cade Saved Me by helping me get
the Audi book for this so I listen to
the audio book from about 40 pages on
the first 40 pages I read physically but
the rest listen to the audio book and
the author narrates it and she is a
throat singer and so she does excerts of
throat singing in between each chapter
or poem and that was so special and the
way I don't know the way that this
Blended fiction and and Magic was really
really special I thought that the issues
that it tackled it did so with such
maturity and such wiseness beyond your
like I don't know how anyone could ever
become this wise you know you read from
someone like you you when you you you
see someone and you just go like holy
[ __ ] you are just like ples above in
terms of the the specialized
understanding you have that you view the
lens of the world that you the lens that
you view the world through you know
there's some people who are so tuned in
to the world through their lens that
it's incredible like when so many of us
just Sleepwalk through the world so many
of us sleep walk through world without a
lens without a point of view you know
when I watch when I do my yoga with
Adrien in the morning I [ __ ] love
Adrian I love yoga Adrian I love her and
she is
so clever isn't the right word tuned in
so so it h what's what I'm looking for
it's late so purposeful with every word
with every statement with every movement
right and it this kind of reminded me of
that you know the issues that it tackled
you know around uh growing up in these
indigenous cultures and the harm that
has been done to them and how that
perpetuates wrong a you know through
Bloodlines was amazing there were
moments where you know it's written
about her childhood and there were
moments where some of the issues are
kind of like written about through the
corner of the eye like as a child would
kind of not want to recognize that for
what it is not kind of want to see that
for what it is and just kind of like
only half looking it was kind of written
like that which I thought was super
interesting this is a very this is a
very special unique book and I think
that anyone you know would be able to
recognize it unique I don't know if
everyone would love it I think it's very
very um individual and I can understand
some people not resonating with it but
the audio book for this is absolutely
way to go I've struggled to find it
anywhere in the UK so you may struggle
if you're in the UK it used to be on
everand but it's not at the moment it
may may come back on at some point but
it wasn't today when I looked so um yeah
I don't know I don't know if I fully
understood it I don't know if I fully
got everything that this book was
putting down and the layers of meaning
and the layers of messages to it but I
still really enjoyed it I still really
enjoyed it so yeah um tomorrow I'm going
somewhere very exciting I am going
tomorrow guys to the book launch of the
examiner By Janice halet which I kind of
I'm sad I haven't colored my Edition in
yet maybe I should color it in tomorrow
I've got [ __ ] makeup on it it's very
obviously makeupyourmind
I'm kind of nervous I don't know what to
expect never been to a book launch yeah
I'll try and film a little bit of that
but I'm going to start Arch conspirator
I may not get to speak to you until late
I imagine I'm going to get home quite
late tomorrow so we'll see either I'll
check in with you tomorrow night or it
may just have to be first in the next
morning depending on how um exhausted I
am but I'm going to start Arch
conspirator by Veronica cth next so I'll
let you know what I think when I
finished it
[Music]
this is your life now the Wasteland
where we all
[Music]
take hello it's the next day I got in so
I got in what I got in so late I got at
11:00 but I was exhausted last night but
I did read on the train there in back
arch spirator by Veronica WTH I don't
have a lot to say to you about this one
this may be quite the short chcken um I
don't really have any opinions why are
the pages so filled with so many words
like what the [ __ ] I'm giving it three
stles cuz I think it was bad but this is
basically an ant I I'm saying her name
wrong but I can't say it right Antony
not
antagony or are both valid Antony
antagony anyways retelling and I have
gone afterwards and looked up some of
the myth and it really closely follows a
lot of a lot of plot Beats from the
original story which is cool but it's
basically a dystopian version where like
women have got forced insemination where
you like take the genes or like the soul
of other people and reincarnate them so
like you're not allow to just like make
babies you got like this this whole
thing cuz like people are dying and the
world is polluted so it's sci-fi
retelling and I think there's some
retelling
where it's best that you know the
original story and there's some
retellings where it's best you don't
know the original story however you're
not really going to know which retailing
is before you go into it this you need
to know the original story and like well
you don't need to but I think to enjoy
it and to get value from it you do
because I think it's like what it's what
it's hoping you'll go is like wow that
was so interesting how you like
reimagined that original plot beat wow I
loved how you put a on that like that's
what this book is doing really to me
it's not it's not doing anything
particularly imaginative on its own it's
just reimagining those plot beats and
hoping go who God you know so yeah I
don't think I also think it had a lot of
like sci-fi elements lot of world body
elements this is super short and it just
didn't really like do any of them as in
depth as I wanted to like we could have
got more into the pollution side of it
and the way that that's made the world
be or we could have got more into like
the women's rights and the women's role
in this society and how' that work I
just I was bored quite frankly there's
nothing else to say to you I don't think
the writing is bad like I've really
enjoyed the stuff I've read from
Veronica Roth so far that she's been
putting out in more modern times but
this one just felt like it was about an
inside joke that I wasn't a part of
that's really all I have to say to you
I'm so sorry I'm now going to read
another one I really won't have a lot to
say to you cuz I really don't want to
spoil the rest of the series of this VI
but I'm going to read Saga volume 3
today so this will probably only take me
like 20 minutes to read so I'm going to
go ahead and read it now but yes I'm
really excited to make progress in the
series again it's like my one a year
that I read so I'm going to go ahead and
read this now and I Reon this series is
like a solid four star for me usually so
we'll see what I think of this
one chair acoss the table it in the
room Shadow STS walls once with the
Melodies of
you m
in
whis I finished Saga volume 3 this is
the weekend to me Friday
honey Friday is a work day Jess I my
weekend on Friday I really enjoyed it
I'm going to give this four stars it was
fun what the [ __ ] can I say to you about
this though what can I say to you I had
fun there a fun SFI graic
my fast so yeah this is like the story
of these two lovers who have a baby but
they're from like races or like species
of people that shouldn't um mix andless
there's all these people chasing chasing
after them to try and kill them and this
felt like kind of a finale to the First
Act it felt like it tied up a lot of
holes with the first not holes like a
lot of the story lines going on with the
first two in the the first two volumes
and it seems like quite a lot of time is
now going to pass before volume 4 but
there was an introduction of some
characters I really enjoyed in this
there was an introduction some
journalists that brought an interesting
element to it I really liked the setting
that the family were in for a lot of
this one but I mean yeah these are just
like fun sci-fi graphic novels they're
like super quick there I what can I say
what can I say I don't want to spoil
anything and I don't know I don't I
don't have a lot thoughts I'm honest
with you I just enjoyed
it this an arch conspirator I'm really
scraping the barrel okay let me think of
something let me think of something I
just like how it tied it all up
I a profound Silence has entered the
chat I don't know I don't know I feel
like maybe I need to start reading these
just not in videos because I never
really they're so like quick and they're
so you're going to get so this the story
is still so connected right like there's
certain series like lady Hard Castle I
can always give you opinions on that cuz
they're like self-contained stories
whereas this is very much like we are
running on from everything that's
happened in the previous in the previous
uh volume so yeah I would recommend this
if you're looking for quick sci-fi
graphic novels but um I don't have a lot
of thoughts to I'm going to read the
silver sword tomorrow I think we've got
two days left and I think I'm going to
read the silver sword tomorrow and save
goblins and great coats for Sunday so
that I can get this video finished for
Sunday earlier so I think I'm going to
read the sil SW tomorrow so I'll see you
then but I'm going to have a nice
evening and play Pokémon and chax and
I'm going to go make make some nice
pasta and I'm really hungry so I'm going
to go bye good evening friends it's been
a day it's been a day and I don't want
to talk about it let's just talk about
the book I read the horror of the silver
sword by iner and we are on a three book
curse of me not having a lot to say I
feel like I feel like these last three
facts I'm like I'm giving us three stars
and it's not like I don't anything bad
to say about B I don't have anything
particularly good I
didn't it's a children's book it's a
children's book it's like Beyond middle
grade it's like a children's book
and I don't know if I really cared it's
about these three siblings who have lost
their parents in the chaos of war and
it's about them surviving and trying to
make it back to their parents where they
they think they are in Switzerland now
so trying to find their way to them it's
a war book but there's not a ton of war
in it like well the effects of War are
seen so them starving or them struggling
to stay alive and struggling to find
each other but there's not a lot of like
horrors of War they kind of exist
independent of war and like I don't know
how realistic that is like are would
there exist independent war is not the
right thing there's no like violence of
War there's the effects of it there's
the starvation you know all those things
I'm having to hide them encountering
soldiers but there's not a lot of
violence it's a kids BG right but it
kind of makes it feel a little bit
unreal to me I don't know but on the
whole I think it's okay I think it's
probably like for kids this is an
important book to learn fictionally how
what happened in the war right it's an
important book like for them to relate
to Children their age and be able to see
themselves and understand what children
their age went through at this time so I
think it's an important book
but I don't know I don't really care AG
coldhearted
[ __ ] what' you call me you're a
coldhearted [ __ ] I really care about I
don't have anything to say it's a three
star it's a three star is fine I don't
think I'm going to think about it much I
mean for some people this is probably
like a really nostalgic like Kid book I
thought the writing was okay but I had
to get I found the audio book on YouTube
in the end to like get through it
otherwise I wasn't going to get through
it I could have dnfed quite happily I
just felt very disconnected from it and
felt like I didn't really you know care
about the characters it sounds like a
very cous thing to say you know I don't
know I don't know but as someone you
know I've consumed a lot of World War II
books in my time as I'm sure many of us
have because like all historical fiction
is World War II um and I just didn't
feel like I particularly connect Ed to
this one that's all I really have to say
guys I'm really sorry that's very
underwhelming that's very underwhelming
but so was this book hopefully not going
to be underwhelming is my final book
which is goblins and great coats it's
not even a book it's a short story by
Travis B which I'm going to read
tomorrow I thought it was like 26 Pages
some of we say it's 14 so this is going
to take me like 10 minutes to read so
I'll see you first thing in the morning
with my thoughts but it's Travis bowy
I'm so excited I get to read more Travis
bowry so that's what we're going to do
tomorrow and then we'll have read the
seven shortest books on my TV in 7 Days
quite the achievement and getting a
little bit closer to that [ __ ]
reading goal of 150 bucks good morning
beautiful human so I have read goblins
and great coats which let's be honest
this is 20 Pages if we're being generous
so I do have to contain one those things
I don't SP anything but I do have
thoughts I have
thoughts um I really enjoyed this I
really enjoyed this so all you need to
know is this little Goblin who's a
detective who goes gets called to this
Inn to solve a murder that has happened
a locked room Mur a mystery I'm giving
this four stars I enjoyed it but it has
just made me yearn so deeply for a four
length Travis B mod a mystery we need
this this is essential this is a crisis
like why would you tease me like this
why would you tease me someone in my
comments ages ago said oh I went to a
Travis bowy talk and he said he's
writing a murder mystery I think this
was it but there's a part of delusion in
my brain that until the next book is
announced this was just a test run for
the full length murder mystery that he's
about to publish yep yep yep yep yep cuz
I I just need more I need more it was so
fun it's 20 pages so it's like solved in
an instant it's ridiculous like it's
cute it's fun the only reason it's not a
five star is you meet a lot of
characters instantaneously and I could
not check of who they were their names
and also they all Fantasy names and I'm
just like I don't even know I I had no
clue who any of their names were one of
them was like I'm barf volume you I was
like okay I remember your B volum but
then the other one was like I'm this
this is this this is is this this is
this but it didn't tell you when they
saying this is this this is this is this
who they're referring to in the group so
I just found the C of characters a
little bit difficult to follow but I
really loved the storytelling in this I
loved the humor that it had a few really
funny moments in it and like ridiculous
moments and Travis py just paints a
beautiful beautiful picture like the in
in the rain in the cold this fantasy
Tavern was so vivid he just does it oh
Travis how I love you
oh Travis how I love you so yeah I
really enjoyed it I'm giving it four
stars it was a fun cute read you can go
get it it's on like Subterranean press's
I think uh website for free so you can
just download the ebook for free so I'd
really recommend you go check it out but
um yeah it's just like it takes 10
minutes to read it was fun it was cute
it was ridiculous it was Fantastical it
was a bit more of Travis Bower reading I
really I really enjoyed it I really
enjoyed it but I don't feel I can give
it any more than a fourar so besties we
have read the seven shortest books on my
TBR in this video I just when I did the
math again I should have read a 100
books to be up to date at this point in
the year on my reading over 150 I have
read cuz we're like 2,000 away through
the year exactly isn't that scary
anyways um I have read 92 so now we're
only eight books behind schedule it was
12: before so we're getting there and
I've got a heck of a lot of reading to
do over the next couple weeks let me
tell you for the videos I've got planned
so I'm feeling better I'm feeling like
we're catching up this video was good to
kind of just like get us get us over the
line a little bit but yeah let me know
what you thought of any of these books
that you enjoyed this one was definitely
my favorite the brides of high hill high
hill our first one but there are a few
other really good ones in there as well
so yeah let me know what you thought of
any of the books I read in this video

one bye
