Welcome to my channel! I'm Ashley and I'm a writer who loves to read. I also like binding books, eating sushi, shopping for office supplies, and collecting art.
Every week I'll post one video on book reviews, book hauls and maybe even some writing tips. I hope you enjoy!
I love reviewing books from publishers and self-published authors. Here is a link to my review policy: tinyurl.com/y9uh8a9k

Bless you Queen for reviewing this book! Black Girls Rock is one of the MOST requested books from the classes that I teach. With this review, you are helping us get approval to choice this book to go in the new lending library for the Clean & Sober Yoga class for the QUEENS here in DC. Thank you! P.s.- my baby sis (Michaela Angela Davis) is a major contributor to this book and I'm so glad I worked for two of the Queens who also contributed to this book, with one of them being my mentor for LIFE! (in order, Dr Angela Davis and Bethann Hardison). So I have a LOVE investment in this now classic work!
Good point!! This included mental health which was a surprise.
mi ya za ki... not not mizu yake. please stop calling him grilled water
Let ve your cover - reminds me of an envelope or wrap style!
I am in the middle... After your review I will not finish it lol
It's mildliner, not mid
What pen did you use on your transparent flip-out key please?
Nice video! I like the whole theme 😊, me I know where the scissors are?
Thanks, I will check it up
I would love to see a video from you on your favourite tarot decks! I am just starting to get into tarot, and my exposure to different decks has been very limited.
👋🏽New subbie. Nice video. 💚
Enjoyed your flip. Congrats on no drive through, new exercise regimen. You are worth the effort!! Thank you for this video and best to you.
Thank you for this walk through! I really needed to see all of this. And your voice is so fabulously soothing. ❤ Did you end up using it and finding it helpful?
I am so glad I came upon your channel! You are delightful and I truly enjoyed your flip and especially your reflections. Looking forward to your next video!
Howl's Moving Castle is a movie which I love showing to people that haven't seen it yet. I've often wondered if Ghibli would ever make a live action version. I'd be interested to hear from others as to whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing?
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing ❤
May I ask what you use to get the black banner and white ink to track if you work from home or office? The white stands out so well and the black doesn't seem to bleed ❤
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
you'd like luster by raven leilani. she's also a woc writer, but american. i've just finished it (weirdly, i finished queenie right before) and i recommend both ;)
I liked your video. I think the difference between the two is how digestible it is, or at least that's how I judge a book. I feel some genre fiction is easily digestible, and while satisfying at times, sometimes I want more. I want to fall into a poetic sentence. I want to contemplate on the use of a particular word in a particular paragraph. And, as you mentioned, I want to learn...about the author's thought process.
This was so helpful! That you!! and ps. You're very beautiful!!
This was really great and helpful! I wasn’t sure how to use the yearly layout and wanted to see someone else’s perspective. Thanks for the upload!
I'd stay Princess Monoke, Howls moving castle, and spirited , my neighbor totoro..and so on
i love your analysis so much 🖤 I totally agree with alot that you said. While i loved everything about the book, from the characters to the mystical settings and themes and plot, Miyazaki took those things and added what i can only describe as the ‘Ghibli Feeling’ to them. He took those core elements of the book and turned them into a feeling that makes you feel like you’re experiencing the best parts of life for the first time. And it really makes me appreciate his work even more ♡
The video was as beautiful as u are thank u
I really loved hearing your thoughts on this book!
I’ve been meaning to look into N.K Jemisem I’ll have to check out the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms!
Love the review. Ordered this one for project management at work. I really liked the pages with gantt charts.
very nice analysis. I'm new to Japanese animation storytelling and I was way confused by it all and thought it was just me. Over all though I did enjoy the concepts and the world. Just lots of unexplained subplots like you said.
The issue is that Miyazaki tried to include plots and scenes from the book that didn't make sense without the plot points that were dropped.
@@adorabell4253 interesting I didn’t know that thanks for sharing.
Notice how all the drama around BLM goes away as quick as it comes? That's because it's all based on media and social media hype perpetuated by corporations and politicians, not actual organic actions by the public. Without the ginned-up hype by those institutions, it literally goes away. They do it for political reasons. Duh. And it's based on terrible misinformation, lies, and hatred.
Have you reviewed Children of Virtue and Vengeance?
Oh my, I love your voice! I also want to read this book these days. ❤️
Very nice video!! I love nonfiction! It seems like you are no longer making vids, but I hope you are still enjoying this year's nonfic november!
I have read this book - I still cannot quite understand why these students would play this game! The only thing I can think is that *spoilers ahead* - Jolyon was an unreliable narrator and that in fact he was a charismatic, manipulative person as a student who made playing this unpleasant game a prerequisite for his friends/followers to continue to be receive attention from him and be in his inner circle.
Did the markers leak through to the other side? Sooooo curious
i recently got a poketo project planner and im so happy i found this video!! this will help a lot!! <3
Thank you so much! I bought one of these and had no idea really how to use it. This was super helpful!!!
I totally disagree. Being a high school teacher, many teens are driven by their romantic interests. For some, that would be their driving force and motivation to get out. I felt this was an amazing book.
great accurate review
Another review said there are 2 times there is a graphic rape situation
Love this review <3
I'm about to read this book soon so excited unfortunately my library doesn't have the other two books if I like it will have to order the other two books 🤔
thankkkkkk youuuuuuuuuu
the way she kept saying miziyaki instead of miyazaki drive me crazy 😭😭
Hello I found your review because I just finished this book and wanted to see what other people thought of it. Pretty much had the same feeling reading it as you did. I will definetively check out the second one. Also, subscribed :D
So I think you missed a bit of context in the movie. The black door and the door to the past were diffrent things. The past door only happened when the door had broken and the collored lables were destroyed. After reading the book I am fairly certan that Howl used the movie "black" door to monitor the war since you see him just escaping/tellaporting to blue skys when leaving the war and that is implied to be the "door". Meanwhile the door Sophie enters at the end looks more like the "black" door in the book which lead to Wales (aka a defining part of Howl's life he only let those closest see. Hense the door being blacked out like it was covered by a curten of darkness). In the movie I think they substituted Howl's conection to our world and the complecated story line that came from that and instead used a line from the witche's curse (find where the past years are) to show Sophie how to break the curse and who Howl trully was before he was messed up by the contract (aka a kind kid). I also think this was forshadowed by Howl's ring reacting to Sophie when they first meat and several times after as well as the fact that Sophie said she remembered the flower place. So all that put together I think their was some wibbly wobbly timmy wimmy things going on that was only hinted at and not explained.
Do you accept being sent free books to review?
Yes, I love reviewing books! Shoot me an email ([email protected]) to tell me more about your book!
Great video and hello puppy!!
I've read an essay the other day about how book and movie reflect the particular postmodernism of their cultures (the book being british and the movie japanese). While the book is more like a deconstruction of the classic western fairytale tropes, the movie has more to do with the WWII trauma and the importance of family and hope. I still prefer the book, it's my absolute favourite and I kinda hate how different the characters and the general tone are in the movie, but after considering the cultural differences the movie made more sense to me. I understood that Miyazaki didn't really care for those plots holes that some of us in the West might find so annoying. They're absolutely different narratives.
Puppy!
