READING VLOG: MY CATS PICK WHAT BOOKS I READ!🐈 thriller, fantasy and non-fiction!

like I was just constantly putting the book down and just going hi friends welcome back to my channel I hope you're well today we have a vlog which I've been so excited about for so long I have three cats and in my themed weekly vlogs I typically read three books so do you I'm telling you I have the my novel master master I have the my novel master mind what's that I don't know but and I'm so creative like that what I decided to do I'm gonna have my cats pick my TBR so I've three cats I've got three separate categories and they're each gonna have three books to choose from and so out of nine bucks we're gonna be reading three because my cats have picked them my cats were very different personalities and vibes so I've tried to match the book category to them so fast is Lux and Lux is the laziest of all my cats he sleeps constantly this I've never known a cat to just sleep all day this boy is so lazy and that's basically all he does he loves his mum who is one of our cats and he also he loves the kitten youngest cat we had Lux is just flamboyant he loves having fun but you're so loves to sleep and so because he's always dreaming I thought I would get him to pick fantasy books because we have no idea what that boy was dreaming but I like to think he's got some vivid fantasy a plot line going on in his head I'm gonna be getting him to pick between the poppy ruled by a life Kwang they're never sitting world by rentapen comb and the Raven boys by Maggie Steve water [Music] next is rora who is our oldest cat she's the mama flux now rora is vicious she doesn't take any [ __ ] she's beautiful but she's deadly she literally the most vicious I ain't take no [ __ ] cat I've ever met so for that reason I've gone with thriller because if roar was a human should be living a life of crime so for that I'm getting her to pick between no exit by Taylor Adams the family upstairs by Lisa Jewell and the death of mrs. West way by Ruth we're Aurora hey doing you know some fun can you see them so lastly is Miko Miko is our youngest cat we've had him for just over a year now he's about a year old Mika was a lot of fun he loves playing he loves just being a good boy but he's not a good boy when it turns tonight because this cat refuses to come in from the garden he will hide he will run it is an Olympic sport trying to get Miko to come back inside so I see him as the most worldly educated wallah casse cuz the other two just stay inside and sleep all day whereas Miko's out there learning living his best life so I've chosen nonfiction for Miko because well they go to order I think he brewing knows the most about the world so I'm gonna be getting him to pick between biased by Jennifer Eberhardt forgotten women the leaders by Xing Shang and I'll be going the dark by Michelle McNamara cheesy so quickly just to recap what was chosen first lux choice and never tilting world by Richard Peck oh I've heard so many people loving this recently it's about a world that I stopped tilting and so half the word is permantly in the Sun and so it's like a desert and the other half is perfectly stuck in darkness and it's all ice and cold and I think two sisters or goddesses play a role in this as well but I'm not completely sure but I'm very excited to get this one it's one I've recently hauled and I think it's always good to get to a book when you've just bought it because the excitement is still really fresh then for thriller RORO chose no exit by taylor adams so this is about a girl who pulls into like this kind of service station or stop during this snowstorm and she's stuck with I think four strangers and she goes out and she sees that one of the vans has a girl tied up in it that's obviously been abducted or something similar and so she's trying to figure out which of these people she's with she can't trust and I think it's a very action-packed fast-moving thriller I think this is gonna be the one I read first because this has been one of my most anticipated books fall along this time and I've been a bit of a reading stop lately and so I just really in the mood for a thriller and then lastly Miko chose Forgotten women are leaders by Zhang Sheng this is what I've spoken loads about my channel but never actually read it it's always in those like I need to read this book video but this is a series of books and this is the leaders and it has all this amazing artwork in it what I love about this is that it has a woman women of all colors of all different nationalities it's a really I think hopefully I haven't read it but from just looking through it I think it's a really global look at Forgotten women throughout history I love learning about women's history and the women who have made an impact in the world throughout time that like have kind of been forgotten because our history curriculum won't return schools and what we know about history is so just focused on men [Music] [Music] Hey okay all right you operate I'm so stressed I'm so stressed out by this book yeah it's not a whodunit you find out pretty early on who the main suspect is the question is whether she can defeat Eve or whether she can trust everyone else he's at the rest stop whether she can be ingenuitive enough this has been a generative so far I've got to say she's been you know pulling out the bag so far my heart rate feels like it's at an all-time high I'm feeling it's only gonna get worse that's the thing as well like things are just starting to turn things that it seemed like I was a hundred pages and I was like right she's got this she's fine she's gonna do it and then couple just came plot twist Oh guys I'm stressed I am so stressed it's only gonna get worse it's only gonna get more stressful like we were hopeful we were hopeful we've crests we've crested the tip and it's only gonna just like it's only gonna go downhill from here I'm not ready it's such a page-turner if like me you're in a slump this is the perfect book to just come and like rip you out of that slump I'm so happy that Maura picked this raw obviously has taste never have I read a book and been so stressed out I was at for most of this like a stress level 10 a danger level 10 and you just think oh my god it can't get any worse and then about 200 pages in and we went up to a stress 11 and then we went up to stress 15 I think I've actually been getting chest pains and irregular heart patterns from this book the past two days like my heart has been hurting I'm getting all palpitations just thinking about this book it was so good Rory pored through so be organic nation on this the pacing in this book absolutely incredible the things that Dobby is able to do the trick she pulls out the bag the sacrifices she makes the heroic she paws girl I could never I have been so stressed out by reading it because sometimes with other thrillers or at least with other thrillers I've read you have moments of rest by right there's like periods of not normalcy but not high stakes high action moments but in this in you're constantly constantly on the move on the go fighting did it a little bit like it's so quick and so full-on and so extreme and so life-or-death throughout the whole book at times I couldn't take it like I was just constantly putting the book down and just going that just constantly every three pages I'm talking about Megan but now I'm like oh my God look what's happening and he's like Megan it's not real I'm like I don't care they're living rent-free in my head but my emotion and I was just in so much like trauma I was in a Shock Trauma as well all the shock that it was like delayed shock my god the way it looks at male entitlement as well I found was a really interesting theme that we got to explore particularly towards the end the ending I almost cried like I almost cried I actually think this has raised my blood pressure I don't even know what that means but I think it's right I love I love interest isolation I love it I love when we have a select cast of characters we are stuck in this place together we know I love that all the thrills I love have that element oh my god my god it's like you are at a hundred miles per hour the entire book Darby I want to call my kid Darby now I'm not even joking I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna broach the subject with Tom that we've got to call any daughter we have Darby because of what this girl did is that weird she is one of my favorite protagonist now so needless to say I'm giving it five stars so I've started Lux's pick which was the never talking mob by rinche pecker I'm just over a hundred pages in so I'm just under a quarter I've only read that much I'm like not into it yet is that true it's very true which is really sad I thought would be the kind of thing I'd be into straight away so we have the two worlds the two worlds the two color lands and we're following two perspectives in each of them so foreign total so essentially you have this world that's been split in half and a goddess rules each and each of those has a daughter and so two perspectives each of those daughters and we have two other perspectives as well one who is a boy who lives on the outskirts in the desert and wanted originally to kill the goddess of his land and then the other one is a kind of she's a kind like a healer to the new the goddess now and they had been meeting up and like going on dates but she didn't know she was the goddess she thought it was just like a normal girl I'm like cycling through them so we're going like 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 he says what's happening at the moment so I'm on I'm just about to touch up to 7 which will be the 3rd perspective for the second time but what that means to me is like I'm just not getting particularly connected to the world or any of the characters there's so many characters in this and I enjoy when a book is ambitious and has entire characters but they've all just been thrust upon me I feel like I'm getting a different sense of world-building throughout each character's eyes if that makes any kind of sense and I also feel like I can't imagine at some moments what is going on like I can't picture it in my head that's so upsetting I will say that when I pick it up I feel like it's quite readable I'm just like not fully into it in the way that I want to be however I need to get into it because I need to finish both of these books by tomorrow night to finish this and Miko's pick which was forgotten room and the leaders [Music] so I had to come inside I was reading outside Floyd's on my name in terms of the never totin world byron ship echo I am just over halfway and one page 270 so I've got this much left to read which considering it's like two o'clock and the afternoon I think that's pretty good I'm still not obsessed with it I'm still not completely in love with it I have a few problems and then we'll get into the things I like we have those four perspectives that I spoke about and Terrica perspectives are together in their half of the world so it's a continuous story you're just switching perspectives between the two so it meant that we were coming back to that plot for quite a while but it was until about page I say 120 maybe a little bit further in that the other two plots knit up so until then we were following kind of separate stories and although it was interesting to learn about these two individuals it just meant that like I wasn't connected to their their side there in the sunny desert II part and I just I felt like that was a subplot to the other two perspectives which I still kind of feel like an away and in terms of the two perspectives that I was enjoying more they knew each other and were in a relationship before the book started and then their plot in this one is kind of them there's a lot of tension between them there's been a lot of lies in that relationship lies lies and more lies and lies on top of lies and in a situation which is really difficult for them but amines are like we haven't seen them happy together which is kind of like I just just stop arguing it just feels like I have read turned in 70 pages and they haven't made any kind of progress in their relationship and in terms of liking each other again there's a lot of monsters monsters constantly appear and we fight them but it's like over really fast and another problem I have with this is that I just can't picture it usually that's a sign of a bad book and I don't use is a bad book there's just something about the writing style that means at times particularly in the really high conflict and the fire scenes I sometimes I'm struggling to picture at one point I felt like the plot was very similar to Kendall and Kylie Jenner's Burke which I'd hate it and obviously rinche pecker is a wonderful and is not Kendall and Kylie Jenner but like that poem is passed but I had to be upfront and so at one point I was like this is just the plot of Kendall and Kylie Jenner but it's not we've moved past that but things I am enjoying I do really really like the writing even though I'm struggling at times to connect and to visualize I enjoyed the writing for what it is if that makes sense I can see why someone else would love it I'm just sad that I'm not living it as much however there is a plot twist coming I think but if it happens I will live for I will absolutely live for it if it's a spoiler so I can't say and I will just be obsessed if that happens I uh oh it would be like a stroke of genius if what I think is gonna happen happen keep saying it just keep saying it keep saying it out loud and maybe you will convince hope I have also sorry forgotten women are leaders I think this is quite a good thing for me to pick up when I'm like a bit fed up of this I love this already learning about these women and their lives and about this woman that I've never heard about before it's just wonderful and did you know that women only make up half a percent of history I just finished the never toasting world by Richard Peck I I'm gonna give this three stars yeah yeah yeah a lot of my issues I'd already spoken about just continued throughout the book for me the thing I wanted to happen I was like I'll be so happy if that happens did happen but not quite to the extent that I wanted it to it kind of backtracked right at the end from the direction I was hoping it would go and I feel like it was a bit of a wimp move like I think we should just gone all the way I would say I think she's really good at writing romance and like steamy scenes I don't want the sex scenes maybe one of them was a sex scene but it's very tame like it's not vivid this is why a but she's good at writing that romantic relationship and it meant through the romantic relationship particularly with the characters I said I didn't connect to as much I connected to they're much more towards the end and actually ended up preferring them in some ways which was interesting the main thing that I have discovered from this is that I don't like books when it's split between two different storylines I was thinking about it and I didn't like it and next year in Havana which I just didn't like that because I but I think that was a reason as to I didn't like it and although I gave it five stars I really didn't like it obsidian was a jazz a third in the illuminated files and that's one of my favorite series but obsidian is pretty my least favorite from that series so I've just come to the conclusion I don't like books where we are half and half between two different storylines I just think I struggle to connect to the characters in the way that I want to I struggle to connect to the storylines I struggled to keep engaged I just like a continuous narrative whereas when it's like this it feels so broken up to me that's going back and forth and so me giving this three stars I always rate based on personal enjoyment and so I think this is a really good why fantasy if you don't mind that but I think I've noticed a pattern and I think that's something I read it like in Burke's as I just shouldn't pick up anything with that stylistic feature although I'm giving this three stars that's not me saying it's a bad book I would really be interested in reading anything else that are into peco's right and so now I'm gonna finish Forgotten women the leaders it's currently just past nine but I am 56 pages into this and it is 200 pages so means I've got 150 pages left but as we know there's a lot of pages with a whole page is taken up by an illustration so at the moment I'm not too worried about finishing this for me this is like the perfect nighttime book I was so excited to read this tonight because I often fall asleep watching history videos we are going to pretend we didn't hear that I've spoken before how much I love this hot this channel by omegan Lindsey Holliday I like when you watch it it's the cheesiest weirdest history but Lindsey Holliday is a queen in my opinion and I often that's often the video I put on when I'm about to go to sleep because it's just easy like her voice it just seems me to sleep but this was Miko's pick he's been hanging around in my room the whole day and he's just left he's like does he know I'm about to read into it [Music] [Music] [Music] morning so I finished forgotten room and the leaders this morning and I'm gonna give it four stars I really really enjoyed this and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking to learn about women from all over the world in so many different time periods I just loved this I think though I couldn't give it five stars because there were some stories I was just more engaged with in others I think nonfiction is always very difficult to give it five stars especially something that isn't giving you a message necessarily this is just like history I just loved learning about these women there was some women that I had some knowledge about already and there were a lot that I had no idea about and it was good I think to have that mix where some of them I was able to draw on previous knowledge and then others were completely new to me and I was learning about this woman that I'd never heard before so Miko picked a good one and I really enjoyed it and yeah I would really recommend it if you want to learn more about the women history has forgotten and the art of throughout all of this was just incredible like the art was amazing and a real highlight I mean like isn't that so pretty so thank you so much for watching this video I hope you enjoyed it hopefully maybe I'll do it again soon my cats will pick what I read again but yeah it was just a bit of fun and I liked filming and even though they didn't like it they really didn't like me taking the thumbnail for this video they were like sis this ain't it not this not this I hope you enjoyed the video I will see you very very soon with another one bye [Music]
