Read the 6th pjo book!
22:29 Now imagine waiting for the next book for a year after that cliffhanger... Yeah that's why we all have collective trauma and that's because of Rick. 😂
I'm absolutely stunned by the library of yours. It looks absolutely wonderful. I wanted to ask a question, if it is appropriate. I have seen a book series at one of the shelves with the depiction of a ship in a hazardous storm (14:03). I wanted to ask: what are the title and the author, because currently I'm in deep ache for this. Thank you for the video.
the PJO series got me back into reading, and I have not read so many books in such a short amount of time!
You HAVE to clean/ organise....not in a day😮
Those shelves look so weak...😱
21:19 That's the face of experiencing a cliffhanger. Lucky me I read them in the summer of 2023 so I just went "Oh, hun, that's devastating... Welp, good thing I have the next one!"
I took the quiz, and im an athena 😊
❤
Thank you for this lovely and caring discussion and analysis! This book is so special to me because of how it lays out the best metaphor for trauma and learning to live and grow with trauma that I’ve maybe ever seen in a novel, and it came at a time when I really needed it. I would watch immediately if you do someday film a video essay about the personification of trauma in Tartarus because I am so here for that discussion and could talk about it all day! Thank you for giving this book the thoughtful and understanding reflection it deserves
"I love pain." -My Experiance reading PJO
How do you read Earthlings and you're still smiling so hard 😭😭
the way uncle rick writes is so amazing on how you can go from laughing to crying and then back laughing in 2-3pages
I could be wrong about this…but I’ve always thought that the reason adults go for young adult books is because they are written on a reading level that is more comfortable for them.
Omg, those shorter shelves at the back that give you a tiered look for your paperbacks -- where can I find them?! 👀
IKEA!! ☺️
As a welsh girl this book series is genuinely one of my favourites! I didn’t expect the welsh language to be shown so much in the book and it made me so excited!
5:06 I spy a danmei! I love how uncommon danmei are in these videos. Just knowing someone else has them brings me a little bit of joy ^^
Danmeis are amazing 👀
I absolutely love your content & I hope you post more. I haven’t seen a new video from you in a while! Please post soon, you are absolutely inspiring.
The seven is always the one thing i find interesting abiut this book series becahsd it shows how prophecys arent always reliable Like Yes we have the 7 demigods who are prophesied But Nico and Reyna have such large important roles in this group and everyone in fanbase agrees they both are deserving in a spot of the 7 demigods
I watched the reactions and just whisper yelled at the screeen "CRY" because this series knows how to make me cry and its so good
i love you and your content so muchh
I annotate whenever a character describes how the LI smells
Your collection is so gorgeous 😍
how did you start getting into writing because i really want to start but idk where to start or how :)
I love that I finally found a male youtuber that I like ❤️ Also I am a huge Rick Riordan fan and I saw you are too so immediate subscribe
I have so many books to read for autumn it’s not even funny.
So, even if I find Priory of the Orange Tree a more satisfying read, the characters of this books are way WAY BETTER. I cried a fuck ton with this book. Maybe the McGuffin comet conclusion is kinda mid, BUT I WAS SO EMOTIONAL THE WHOLE FINAL BATTLE, I felt the desperation of the characters, fightning fdr a slim chance in the sky, Such SUCH good book.
Not me watching this after watching Isaac’s books from season 2 and you mentioning Ace of Spades which Isaac ends up reading 😏
anything you would like to give away for the sake of buddishm i will gladly provide you my address and my
I burnt myself out on writing, which used to be a huge part of my life. It stopped being fun and started feeling burdensome and like it had to be marketable and say something important. Today, I wrote a short fanfic about Aziraphale and Crowley because I've been thinking about everyone's favorite ineffable husbands, and it was so much fun! Oscar Wilde was right, art shouldn't be taken so seriously.
“I’m very excited for the burning maze” Well about that-
I would recommand Lore&Lust it is kinda more Magical Realismus and not Romance it is a Queer Vampirer Story and it is I think still from an Indie Author/Publisher and it is really really cute, but the most of the Romance Plot is only or mostly in the first book in the other ones it is more Magical Realismus and Mystery and so... And when I am correct the Author is a Black Author also.
Once Upon a Broken Heart is original after the Driologie Caravel so most of the World Bulding and so on are in Caravel and not in Once Upon a Broken Heart.
Love 911! Good Queen Athena is by far my fave character.
Robin Hobb is my favorite author!! 🥰 Great video, happy I found your channel!
The way Nico get trapped in a bronze jar and then no one talks about it after
omg is that a Babel pin??? where did you purchase it? :O
I love that people have such different tastes in how they organise, stack and display books! That said, however much I respect that you enjoy showing off your favourite cover-art/titles, facing them to the front, it grates at my soul to have books cover the titles of other books. It's like double-shelving to my brain😅 The fact that this is your library and it's you who sorted it, means you know where everything is, but I myslef would be so lost and NEVER know where things are😅😅
"All of us are villains" and "All of our demise"...why is this dilogy so underrated? It's one of the best enemies to lovers I have ever read (in particular in the second book)
Storing objects that aren’t books on bookshelves can lead to major disorganization and not being able to function correctly.
Bless you for making it that far into the organizing journey in your sweater <3 As a person with 3000+ books in her home library, I am EXTREMELY overdue for a declutter/reorganization LOL (and once again - DAMN the UK hardcover game vs the US hardcover game)
You cohosting with Freya is so cool! Two of my worlds colliding ❤
I always think it's funny that a lot of people think that Harrow the Ninth is the most polarising book in the series due to the second person writing. For me it got better with each reread until I now can't imagine it any other way. Nona on the other hand is probably my least favourite of the three. I just couldn't vibe with her as a character. She's fine, but the naivety gets olds really quick and it's frustrating to get glimpses of the bigger story through her eyes only to have it breakdown due to whatever distraction / lack of comprehension gets in Nona's way. It's only when she's almost dying and getting closer to reverting back to Alecto that she really starts getting interesting as a character and not just a device. But I'm just shouting random rants into the void really
Just finished Our Share of Night--began reading the deceptively slim paperback and it took me about a month but I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of my current pattern of reading stories about ghosts with queer relationships, I can't get enough
I started rewatching Once Upon A Time, so im up for a video about this!
I'm always so happy when I see people growing out of YA. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've always seen people talk about Legendborn but never really wanted to read it, but now, you've convinced me, I got the ebook 😏
🙂👏👍🏻✨
I spotted Naomi Novik's Uprooted which is like my all time favourite and I made me happy to see it 🥰
I loved this video I loved seeing more of your hobbies! Also I love how kinda cinematic this video felt!
