Hi everyone. I'm rincey and this is rincey reads. Today is going to be
another chill Friday reads video. Will I be doing only Friday reads from now on?
It's very possible because the way reading has been going lately.
So yeah, I wanted to make a video this week. I still haven't read a whole lot. So I
don't really want to do like a September wrap-up part one just yet. I'll probably
just have one wrap-up for this month. September wrap-up. We're in October.
So yeah, I thought I would just do another Friday reads and update you guys on life
and what's going on with my reading after last week's update. And also, just
to start things off, thanks so much to everyone who left really kind and really
supportive messages on that video as well as various like Instagram posts and
things like that. I appreciate it so, so much, you guys. And people have even like
tweeted at me. One girl said she was like woke up thinking about me and my reading
slump and like tweeted that like tagged me in it and I thought that was like the
kindest thing someone has said. So yes, just thank you so much. It really does
mean a lot to me and I really do appreciate it. So I finished the cruel
prince. I think I finished it Friday night. And I liked it. I didn't love it.
I probably will continue on with the series because I really like the stuff
that's happening in the book. Like I like the world-building and I like the more
adventure sides of it. But all of the romance stuff I found to be so
predictable. I don't want to go into spoilers. But like sort of the things
that happen towards the end of the book romantically I 1000% saw coming from
like page one. And even like some of the reveals that they have with those
characters, I was just like, this is so obvious. I don't know if this is
considered spoilery or not. I don't think it is. But it has like a very Pride and
Prejudice template to it. You could definitely like plug in certain cruel
prince characters for certain Pride and Prejudice characters. And not that it
like fits perfectly. But I feel like that's the reason why I was able to see
everything fall into place the way that it did. Even with the way
other characters came together and stuff like that outside of like the main characters,
I was just like, yeah, I saw that coming. So that was like the main downfall for
me. So anytime it was like focused on those plot lines, I stopped caring quite
as much. There was a point towards the like 75% mark
where I could feel my interest waning again. But at that point, I saw on my
Kindle that I had like an hour to an hour and a half left in the book or
something along those lines. And so I just like pushed through to the end. Or I
think at that point I had like a half an hour left or something a lot of those
lines. So yeah, I just like push through on Friday night, and I was like, okay, I
finished a book. Praise the Lord. And then after that point I didn't end up
reading an absolutely remarkable thing. The idea of like pushing myself to try
to read a book in a weekend is just like a thing that also felt way too
stressful at this point in time. So I decided to abandon that. And if you
follow me on Instagram, you may see me post about I got like ebook versions of
a bunch of different books that I already own in an attempt to read things
on my Kindle because that seems to be what my brain wants at the moment. And
also what my body wants cause I don't have any interest in holding books right now.
But I also want to like reduce my physical TBR. So yeah, I got ebook
versions of like three different books from the library. I tried two of them,
weren't working for me. And so then I switch things up completely and I found
out that I was approved for the new Sujata Massey mystery. This one is called
the Satapur Moonstone. And this one doesn't come out until January. But I was
very excited by this and I decided to just like give this one a try. And this
is like super working for me. Like I haven't felt this happy reading a book
in maybe a month, maybe like three weeks. Something along those lines. So yes, that
is the book I'm currently reading. I'm not like rushing through that one. It's
an e-book arc. And so one of the things with that is like the formatting is a
little bit weird sometimes with those. And so like reading that has been a
little bit of a slower experience just because again it's not like formatted
perfectly for the Kindle. Another thing is that the chapter breaks aren't marked
properly. So the Kindle can to like pick up the chapter breaks and like properly
estimate like time left in a chapter and things like that. And typically that
would bother me, but for some reason it's not with this book. I think it's because
like I'm so into it that I'm okay with not knowing exactly how much time I have left
in the chapter. But what is is bothering me is that for whatever reason my Kindle is
not properly estimating how long it's gonna take me to finish the book, which
is a thing I want to pay attention to. I'm currently around 20 percent of the
way through this book and it's telling me I only have like an hour and a half
left of reading time, which is not accurate.
It started off saying I was at like seven or eight hours of reading time to
finish the whole book, which makes sense. And then as I was going along it-- there
was like one point where it dropped significantly. It went from like seven
and-- seven hours and some minutes to like three hours and some minutes. And then I
turned a couple of more pages on my Kindle and then it dropped to like less
than two hours. And I was like, okay something is like glitching here. And
I've been hoping that as I had continued reading it would like properly update
itself. But it hasn't been. It's been sitting at like an hour and a half to an
hour and 20 minutes for a while. And like I've been spending more than like a half
an hour reading. So yeah, I don't know why it's doing that. Maybe I just need to
restart my Kindle. If you've ever had that problem before, let me know. So yeah,
that is the book I am currently focusing on. And again, I'm not rushing through it.
What I am finding is that one, the writing in these books is like really
comforting. Like these aren't cozy mysteries but these also aren't like
super violent or like thrillers or suspense books or anything like that.
Like they are kind of on that like slightly deeper side of a cozy mystery.
So I think that's really what my brain is gravitating toward. So I think I might
continue on down that path. I'm thinking that after I finish this book, maybe I'll
pick up some Agatha Christie's or something along those lines that have
like some meat to it and something, you know, interesting, a good puzzle, but
they're not like super straining on my brain, I suppose is the best way to
describe it. But yeah, I still need to like read my actual books. So we'll figure
it out. I'm hoping that like this process of me like tiptoeing back into reading
will get me back to where I was. I'm looking at this situation as like a "walk
before I run" scenario. So right now I am just rehabbing my brain into reading
again. So yes. So yeah, that's all of the updates that I have. I haven't even been
updating my Goodreads. I've been bad about that. But it's mostly because I
haven't had anything to update on Goodreads for a while. But you can always
follow me on Goodreads if you're interested in seeing sort of like what
I'm finishing when I'm finishing it. I don't update my like currently reading
status anymore because again that stressed me out a
little bit. So I've only been putting in books after I finished reading them.
So if you are interested to see before I make another one of these videos whether
or not I finish any books, you can try to follow me on Goodreads and I will try to
be better about actually updating it when I finish books. So yeah, leave a
comment down below letting me know, again, how your reading is going, if it's gotten
better. A lot of you guys were commiserating with me in the last video,
which I always appreciate. Or you can let me know like what you're planning on
reading this weekend, what's been working for you, what have you been in the mood
for-- What? I don't know. It's time for me to end this video. So yeah, that's all I
have for now and thanks for watching.
