congrats on hitting 50k!! well deserved :) i thought the concept and world of a deadly education was super cool too! what were ur thoughts on Orion? i thought el's and his friendship was very endearing lol esp with how he clearly likes her but she's just like EW GET AWAY FROM ME !! im glad you enjoyed the vanishing half, that book really takes you through LIFETIMES

My only issue with orion was I WANTED MORE OF ORION hahhahah he was just a silent lurker half the time and i wanted to get to know him more - can’t wait for the sequel. And ugh yes, the vanishing half is on track to be a top 5 of the year for sure!

I just finished "A Deadly Education" by N.N. and really liked it. It had a few lengths and some overly descriptive bits. Some not 100% logical abilities, which came out of nowhere. And other under-explained miracles (apparently)... but it was enjoyable. I got through it quickly, which is a good sign. The Monsters could have been less important and the relationships of the people more important... but hopefully this is just the set-up first book.

I finished The Vanishing Half in a daaaay, I was so in love with it. I lived for Jude's and Reese's story arc. And to think I picked the book on a whim from the library, without ever reading anything about it. I am so glad I went in completely blind❤

Since you are learning French: I would highly recommend the different series from Pierre Bottero! He writes young adult fantasy but packs so much wisdom, wit and humor in there that it's a joy to read at any age. I especially liked the Ellana series, but you might want to start with La quète d'Ewilan 😊

I felt the same way when Fable went underwater!! I just kept thinking about how I’d literally drown if I was her in her place. She’s a tough character lol

Cari! My Ana Luisa necklace came today and I love it! The vanishing half is on my list I may pick it up next.

Congrats on 50k!! Here's to 100k and hopefully finding more time for reading in 2021 (or at least as much as you'd like to) I can imagine that having so many different hobbies on top of a demanding job doesn't leave much time for escaping into books, but what can you do😢 The Vanishing Half was one of those books that I just couldn't bring myself to pick up because of the enormous hype but when I finally did... oh man... I decided to listen to an audio of it one day when I was searching something super engaging as a soundtrack for deep cleaning the entire house and needles to say, I spent like 7 hours doing absolutely everything arnd the apartment that I could because I just didn't want to stop listening it was madness lol.

Just recently added "Sweet Bean Paste" on my reading list and what a coincidence that you uploaded a review about it! So excited to read it!!! Thank you Cari!!! You inspire me to read more!!! 😊💕

I totally thought I was already subscribed. So just subbed 🙂. The Vanishing Half is on my 2021 book list. Can't wait to read.

Thank you so much for opening my eyes to different genres of books last year! You were my lockdown lifeline! 😅 I’ve just read a book that I think you might enjoy- the foundling by Stacey Halls (she also has a book called the familiars about the Pendle witch trials, but I’ve not read that... yet ☺️). It’s about this woman who has to give up her baby in 18th century England. She tries to save up and get her back after several years, but an unexpected turn of events leads her to go on a journey. It has lots of character development that I really loved, and I think you would love too!

Thank you for the recommendations ❤️ My TBR (or PAL in French) is getting longer... I loved the Sweet bean paste movie adaptation (the old lady is amazing). I heard about Daughter of smoke and bone, definitely want to read now I know you liked it ! There's a 4 book saga here in France which had a huge success (well deserved) and it's been translated into English : The Mirror Visitor. It's difficult to summarize, it's a mix between Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and Miyazaki (weird but fascinating world). I think you could enjoy it 😉

I think I watched a movie based on the Sweet Bean Paste book a couple years ago and I absolutely loved the movie, maybe this is a sign to read the book...

“Minders by Michelle Jaffe” is one of my favorites of all time! it’s a ya, sci-fi ebook with twists of romance. Basically the main girl is sollected to be in this boys mind. No one ever talks about it... so amazing!

There's a movie called Sweet Bean based on Sukegawa's book! It's really good and also a very close rendition of the book.

I have the vanishing half and sweet bean paste on my tbr list already, and after your video i can't wait to read them 😍

I saw the movie for "Sweet Bean Paste". It was a really good one! Can't say anything about the implementation of the book bc I haven't read it - but the movie was well made. 👍

I’m reading the Island of Sea Women right now. It’s really beautiful and it takes place on Jeju Island. It would be fun for you to read right before you go to Jeju sometime.

One time I was in the book store and saw the vanishing half but did not buy it. Maybe I will consider reading it now hmm. I only read after dark by murakami this month but its okay because I loved it!! I really liked the atmosphere and the characters of it.
