please excuse my fringe. I just got it I don't understand it yet it just kind of
sits there okay okay so I haven't read that much recently
I'll be honest I didn't do the booktubeathon this year because even
though it's literally the one year where I have actually been free enough to do it
didn't do it it's one of the things where they're like you need to read seven books in seven days
and then your brain does the reverse thing, you will do none of these
things for the days that they're telling me to do the things so I didn't read that
much and I've been read some books recently so that's why I write on how
really talked about yet is when dimple met Rishi's by Sandyha Menon
mixed feelings about this when diplomat Rishi is kind of a cute contemporary
story about two Indian Americans one of whom dimple doesn't really want to be in
an arranged marriage after all she wants to go on she lets go to this camp to
learn about computer coding whereas Rishi is much more interested in the idea
of an arranged marriage but their parents try to set up them up anyway
yeah it's a really is cute story and the thing is I think without the cultural
aspects I would have been less interested I feel like other than that
which I do think is a really important aspect and it would be a good
reason to read it I didn't really see anything special about it was the kind
of standards cute contemporary it just didn't do very much for me I
wanted them to be much more about the camp side of things because that was a really important
parts for Dimple but we didn't really see that very often the focus really was the
relationship I liked it I thought I was fine I wish there'd been more to the
characters because I always like they want more to the classes but we didn't
see it we didn't engages it that much that they other than the relationships
have been stronger I think I gave that three and a half stars
I think on Goodreads or just three stars on Goodreads because I thought it was fine
but it didn't really do that much for me next I read A Court of Wings and Ruin
by Sarah J Maas I had interesting feelings on this, I did a whole discussion on it
an actual whole discussion. Wild! so are okay it's not as good as ACOMAF the ending was probably my favourite bit
the middle was boring and didn't actually mean
anything like this could have been chopped up work so it has been so
much smaller than it is because the middle bit was just irrelevant basically and there
were lots of things about the writing like the craft of it which wasn't very
good at all there were certain things that were treated as this massive
obstacle in the beginning and then they just do it like it's not a problem like
it's really like a one-point Feyr has to go and find this magical mirror
that turns people mad and you know she doesn't and then like they literally
don't even go there because it's like oh it's so dangerous and then literally by
the end she's gone and done it in one chapter we didn't even see it
Sarah J Maas does that annoying thing that she does in Throne of Glass as well where she just
take stuff away and or like she does stuff outsider of the perspective even though
we follow basically one character the whole way through
I just find it weird when you're doing a first-person narrative and it's not even an unreliable narrator
or anything that have or it's not retrospective you don't just
get to take a bit doubt you don't want write like but then reference. It just doesn't make sense.
I had a lot of writing problems with this like the
structure there's lots of loose ends because she's doing another series but
that's not how that works you shouldn't just cut off the end of the book and be
like don't worry guys three more books you'll find out more 'cause it's annoying
and rude this is just such a letdown after ACOMAF was so good
and I'm just annoyed now because this is just not as good as it could have been and
it's another thing with finalés that don't take it there they don't they don't take
it there if one of those disappointing finalés where they don't take it there you
feel like there's no threat there's no loss there's no you know there's not no it doesn't
break you which is annoying because you kind of don't want to be broken by
books but also you do want to be broken by books it's quite difficult yeah I read it
I think I gave it three stars because it's not all that it's not all that
you know oh is that all all... Ah one more! so i read some poetry i read Sappho's poetry
it's Stung With Love: Poems and Fragments and I was just thinking I really wanted
to expand my reading horizons because then hopefully if I'm doing a degree
in October then I'll have to read a lot of poetry and I'd like to be ready I don't
want to have hated poetry and then have to do most of it but yeah I really like
Sappho's poetry is quite beautiful it's very like sensual and I don't know
how to describe it I would say feel like Keats' poetry you'll like Sappho's poetry it's
really difficult to describe if you haven't read either but Keats is very nature
based... he's very... there's also like supernatural and like vivid and luscious
and oh it's so good it's so good but yeah Sappho's I would recommend if you
like you just as a little check-in about what I'm reading right now I started
reading the name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss because I basically binge watched
loads of interviews of Patrick Rothfuss and I realised that he's a genius
he spent 14 years writing this story like all the three books and then
revising the first one for seven years and you could tell and I'm so
ready because ah I can feel as it's going really good I'm excited
I'm only like 68 pages or something through 62 pages but I'm excited alright
I think I think that's everything I've been reading recently. Hopefully, I'll read
more in August and in the future because not really feeling this not reading
but anyways thanks for watching I hope you have a nice day and I shall
see later
Goodbye <3
