The Art of Book Adaptations: A Look at Thriller Genre

Kindness is a vital aspect of life, and it's equally essential to have friends who are kind towards us. One of my favorite films that showcases kindness is the movie "Amélie," which has a unique ability to make audiences smile. The film follows Amélie Poulain, a young woman with a quirky sense of humor, as she tries to bring joy and kindness into the lives of those around her.

As I sit here writing this article, I'm reminded of the importance of being kind to one another. Kindness is a quality that can make a significant impact on our lives and the lives of those around us. It's a trait that I admire and aspire to exhibit in my daily life. One of my favorite books that embodies kindness is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. The story revolves around the relationship between a young boy and an apple tree, highlighting the selfless nature of the tree as it sacrifices its own happiness for the boy's benefit.

Another film that showcases kindness is the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness." The film follows Chris Gardner, a struggling single father, as he battles to build a better life for himself and his son. Despite facing numerous challenges, Chris remains determined and kind-hearted throughout his journey. One book that resonates with this theme is "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. The novel tells the story of Starr Carter, a young black girl who navigates two different worlds: her predominantly white private school and her predominantly black neighborhood.

One thing that I found fascinating about my favorite films and TV shows is that almost all of them are adaptations of books. Whether it's "Twilight," "The Vampire Diaries," or "Gossip Girl," many popular movies and TV shows originated from novels. This got me thinking about some of the lesser-known book adaptations that might be worth exploring.

One such adaptation is the book "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty. The novel follows a small town where all the parents have kids in the same kindergarten, but a crime takes place and everything changes for these women who try to expose the truth about each other's lives. I loved this book because it was so well-written and engaging.

When it comes to thrillers, there are few books that can compare to "Ace of Spades" by Faridah Àbíbálé. This novel takes place at a very wealthy private school where everything seems perfect on the surface but beneath the surface, darker secrets lurk. The story revolves around two main characters: Chi and Von, who find themselves entangled in a web of deceit that puts their lives at risk.

The author masterfully weaves together elements of both "Gossip Girl" and the horror film "Get Out," creating a unique narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. The novel explores themes of privilege, racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and mental illness.

As I reflect on these book adaptations, I'm reminded of the power of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the world around us. By exploring different genres and themes, we can gain new insights into human nature and develop a deeper appreciation for the complexities of life. Whether you're an avid reader or not, I encourage you to explore some of these book adaptations and discover the magic that they have to offer.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enThe plot has escaped me hold on.....Plot.Ah!! Okay.Hi everyone, it's Cari, and this is probably gonna  be another long video so sit tight, grab a snack, do some stretching, clean your room, whatever you  need to do. On Instagram I asked you guys to send me your favorite films and or tv shows  and I would recommend something that reminds me of that. In case you want to get into reading and  you just don't know what you might like, I always say try to jump into the same genre of things that  you tend to like in other media, so we're gonna try that. However, so many of you guys like happy  shows and I don't have a lot of happy books. So a lot of these are going to be more thriller, fantasy,mystery, etc. As far as proper comedies, I don't read those so... But we're just going to  jump in! I'm going to try and briefly describe not only the show but the book. Ready? Let's go!So one thing that I found really funny is that almost all of the movies and tv shows that  you guys like, they already come from books! They're already adaptations of books. So  some of them I feel like you guys knew that but for things like Legally Blonde, that was actually a  book first! And I'm thinking of doing another video about like 'little known book adaptations'but one of the more popular ones that you guys asked for was Big Little Lies and that  is based off of a book and I actually loved the book. So I'm going to recommend that and the other  thriller by the same author. Big Little Lies is about a small town and all of these parents have  kids that go to the same kindergarten. We learn that a crime has been committed but the book  tells it in such an interesting structure that you actually don't figure out what the crime is  until the very end. Because of that, you don't know who's been affected by the crime, so you  can't figure out who did it. It's like everyone in the town has a reason to hurt each other  and everyone in the town has a reason to be hurt by someone, but it was so interesting to  read a thriller where I couldn't guess who done it because we didn't even know what was done.So I definitely recommend that and then also by Liane Moriarty is a book called Nine  Perfect Strangers which I didn't love as much as I loved Big Little Lies, but if you're just  looking for a like a summer thriller read, she knows how to write a good one. And this is  of the same vein of Big Little Lies, like you know something really bad has happened but it  takes place in a retreat, like this really yuppy healing retreat in the middle of Australia.  And some bad stuff happens. So if you're looking for an easy summer thriller, sitting by  the pool, whatever, Nine Perfect Strangers and Big Little Lies for sure. I'm excited to talk about  this one because I finished it last night. So a lot of people wanted something from Gossip Girl. Gossip  Girl is a very popular tv show that takes place in an Upper East Side private school in New York City, upper east side. There is just one person who sends out these mass text messages or I think they  even have a website, I don't know it was like early 2000s. As you might assume, they just deliver gossip  about everyone and so we kind of follow this group of students, kind of like the upper echelon of this  private school, we follow them throughout their life - throughout high school and then  eventually throughout college. And no one knows who Gossip Girl is. And so the book that I'm going to  recommend is Ace of Spades. And this, I'm pretty sure across the board everyone has said, that it  is a perfect mix of Gossip Girl and Get Out. And if you haven't seen Get Out, that is a horror film  about a Black man who goes to visit his white girlfriend's family's home and it gets bad  real fast. Like, everything is not as it seems and it's even worse than you might guess. So try and  mix that with gossip Girl and you have Ace of Spades. Ace of Spades takes place at a very yuppy  private school where everyone is very very rich and very very white except for two students.  Devon, I believe it's pronounced Devon, and then Chiamaka. I'm just going to call them Von and Vhi  because that's what they're usually called in the book. Chi is also really rich - her mother  is Nigerian, her father is Italian, and she's super popular she has always been like the head  prefect and everything and her whole life is just about being number one so that she can  go to Yale med school and be a doctor and kill it at life basically. And then we have  Von who is a scholarship student, he lives with his single mother and his two brothers in a  small house on the wrong side of town, and he just kind of keeps his head down. Nobody really  knows him. And he wants to go to Juilliard as a pianist and so he just practices music  all day. Our book starts off on the first day of their senior year when all of a sudden these mass  text messages, akin to Gossip Girl, start coming out and they are specifically targeting Von  and Chi. And they have no reason to be attached to each other other than their race. I thought it was  so good because the first half felt very just Gossip Girly and you were trying to  figure out who was the person and the author kept dropping these hints that I thought were  spoilers. I was like 'oh man, she spoiled it, I know who it is' and then the next chapter I'd be  like \"no, nope I don't know who it is\" and literally until the very end when things start getting very....  they take a turn, they take a turn...it all started piecing together. And it made me so uncomfortable  because I feel like it's not that far removed from reality, so I just thought it - you know, Gossip Girl  is vapid, but this um this was not, this was not vapid at all. I just highly recommend. I read it in  one day because it had me at the edge of my seat, it was brilliant, so Ace of Spades. We're gonna talk  about Knives Out! I love Knives Out. We're getting a Knives Out two. I'm so excited, my queen Janelle  Monae is going to be in it. It looks like another all-star cast. I'm excited. So Knives Out is a dark  comedy I would say. It is about this grandfather who has built this murder mystery novel empire -  he's an author, and so he's super rich. And in the very beginning of this film, he dies  under very mysterious circumstances. And so a detective is brought in to figure out  what exactly is happening and things get really crazy when they decide to read his final  will because where he decides to send his money.... shocks everybody. It's very kind of Agatha Christie,everybody seems guilty kind of thing. Daniel Craig is the detective and he has this like ridiculous  southern accent and he's just, it's it's very good. That is Knives Out and I've already talked about  this book before in relation to Knives Out but it is The Inheritance Games. And the second one  and I believe it's two of two, the second book is coming out in September so if you were putting  off reading it because you just can't wait for a sequel, maybe think about adding it to your  list now. So The Inheritance Games is very similar to Knives Out in that we have our main girl who  one day gets summoned to the reading of this billionaire's will. She's never heard of him before  but he has died and she has to physically be at the reading of the will or else they  can't read it, you know. So the family is kind of like \"hey we don't know you  but could you come here so that we can get our money?\" And it's no spoiler to say that all of this  billionaire's money goes to this random girl. And the only thing that she has to do to get the money  is live in the family house for one year. The family is a mixed bag - some of the family is pissed,  understandably, some of the family is like 'whatever grandpa's crazy anyways' like and  then another is kind of like 'we're gonna get on your good side so that you can give us  our money.' The family has three grandsons and they, we learn, have been kind of trained by the  grandfather to look at everything as a game. Even their house has these weird like trick doors and  like staircases that lead to nowhere and so they kind of decide that this is just another one of  grandpa's games. While our main girl is living in the house just trying to live her life, they  are trying to unravel her like she, they consider her a clue. I don't know, it just becomes this whole  investigation, the house is a mystery, it's very ridiculous but fun. Very similar to Knives Out.It is a young adult book but I had fun with it and I cannot wait for the second one, I thought  it ended in a really interesting way. Yeah I highly recommend the Inheritance Games. We  have a Tarantino. Someone asked for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and describing the plot of a  Tarantino film is so difficult. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follows an actor and his stunt man  and it literally just tries to capture the feeling of Hollywood in that era, I think, what is  it, the 60s and 70s? The golden age of Hollywood, right? People just like smoke a lot, drink a lot,and are attractive. Alongside of this storyline, the main actor's neighbor happens to be Sharon  Tate who, if you don't know, is one of the victims ofMthe Charles Manson murders. Charles manson had a  cult, he sent some of his followers to murder this director and his wife, and it was very tragic and  Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it kind of shares a fictionalized version of what that night was  like. And so if you're interested in that portion of the film, I would recommend reading The Girls.Which is, again, a fictionalized look at the Charles Manson cult and it follows one girl who gets roped  into it, it just follows what is life like, how was she convinced to get into the cult, how  did her life proceed from there, etc. It was very very interesting and if you're interested in  like cults and specifically like Charles Manson and all that stuff, I thought it was very  a very interesting book. I think I read it pretty quickly, definitely  The Girls if you're into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This is timely because the  second one is coming out soon but a few people asked about The Quiet Place or A Quiet Place.  This is a horror film in which the people cannot make sounds - basically if you make  any noises, it attracts these like monsters or aliens or whatever they are, I don't know.  Why are you turning on? Of course when I start talking about a horror film that's when my air  conditioner turns on all by itself. Great, okay. So anyway the film is incredible because  you are watching it and it is dead quiet the whole time. So I watched it on an airplane and  I remember like being really tense and then they made an announcement like \"please put on  your seat belts\" and I jump, like I hit the roof. Anyway, very interesting film and I am going  to recommend Annihilation which is also a film but this was a book - and I've said this so many times -  I was genuinely frightened reading this book. Like, I was disturbed and  I had to put the book down a few times and kind of like reorient myself. Annihilation  follows this one particular biologist who is sent on a mission with a few other women  to go into this Area X and no one knows what has caused it, but something is wrong  with this area and it's kind of spreading. It's almost like there's this force field around it.  And when they send people in, like they've sent the military, they've sent other scientists,  they've sent just random people, they've sent airplanes, they've sent drones - nothing comes back.So she is part of another group that's going to go in and figure out what's going on and it was  very freaky. So I think if you like that kind of eerie, like you're constantly on the edge of  your seat and feeling very uncomfortable, I think you will like Annihilation and  I actually didn't finish the series because I was genuinely so scared but just reading the  first book was enough to kind of fulfill that need of being disturbed, I suppose.  So if you're that kind of person, there it is, Annihilation. Okay, next up - Inception. Okay, how do Idescribe Inception? Inception follows one particular man who has the ability to  go into people's dreams, he has like made this technology that makes that happen. He is given  a task to go in and plant an idea in someone's mind and so he builds this team - it's kind of  like a heist movie except instead of stealing something, they're planting something. And if you  haven't seen it yet, I definitely recommend it, it's kind of a classic at this point. And for me,  for a book, I will recommend Paprika which, now that I'm thinking about it, has also been made into a  film. But Paprika is about this psychologist who, again there is this technology where you're able  to go into people's dreams, she is not supposed to be doing this but on her off time, she's kind  of like a dream detective. So if someone comes to her and is like 'you know I'm suffering from  insomnia, I can't fall asleep' or like 'I'm suffering from extreme depression,' whatever it is, she will  go into those dreams as this alter ego Paprika - she will kind of help you remember. She will like  kind of lucid dream you into finding the answers to your problems. But this technology, if -  oh my god it turned on again - but if this technology falls into the wrong hands, some pretty  bad things can happen. I think it's very similar, this idea of going into people's dreams and  this line between reality and dream world. I enjoyed it. It did take me like I think one or two  times to like get into it because it is like, all of those layers is a little difficult but  if you're into science fiction, I would highly recommend Paprika. This one was hard but I hope,  I hope this works. Somebody asked for The Heathers and if you don't know what The Heathers is. I  think is that from the 80s or the 90s, it is kind of like Mean Girls except there's a lot of  murder involved. It's very dark. It's with Winona Ryder. There's a lot of croquet. I can't  explain it very well. But it is a very dark teenage movie from the 90s. And so I'm going to  try and give you a mix. I want you with one eye to read A Deadly Education and with the other eye  to read The Clique. And then you have The Heathers. The Clique, I'm actually, I'm not recommending this  these books are not good. But The Clique books were about these rich girls that went to a rich private  school and then there was one girl who wasn't rich and she joined in...and it's about that.  It's basically Mean Girls, essentially. If that element was put into A Deadly Education, I think  you would have The Heathers. A Deadly Education is about this magic school, and in this world there  are these monsters that will feed off of magic. And so as a young magical person, as they get older  their magic gets stronger and so when they're like a pre-teen their magic becomes strong enough that  the monsters can sell smell/sense it and they will kill them in order to get their magic. And so  the brilliant idea of this society is to make a school that is basically like like a prison, it's  like a glorified prison for these students, and it keeps them safe from the monsters and then as  they learn their skills, once they're old enough to graduate, hopefully that means that they're strong  enough to defend themselves. And so even though their magic is strong, the monsters can't kill them  because they have trained. Does that make sense? And so even though this school was built to protect  them, it is not 100% effective. They are constantly fighting these like little things that want to  kill and eat them. Like they can't take showers very long because something's gonna come through  the drain and eat them, you know? And then also other students - it's very dark but it's very fun  and the second one is also coming out very soon and I'm excited for it. So A Deadly Education. A lot of people asked about You and this is also previously a book. But it is about a man who has  very obsessive tendencies and he is able to kind of rope these women that he falls in love with  into a relationship and he seems like the perfect boyfriend, until he is not the perfect  boyfriend. I only watched the first season but I am going to recommend the Silent  Patient and The Silent Patient is about a woman who is in prison for murdering her husband and  before she gets put on trial they want to get her to talk about it, like what why did  she do this, did she really do it, etc. The only problem is - she is not talking. She is literally  mute. And so they send in the psychologist to start working with her and to try and,  you know, get her to speak. And eventually they form a trusting relationship in which she's able  to walk us through what is happening she talks about - well I don't want to tell you anymore.It's very eerie. If you're looking for a thriller kind of akin to You, I would highly recommend  The Silent Patient. A lot of you asked about How To Get Away with Murder, which I still haven't  finished the first season, I don't know why I'm like really putzing. How To Get Away with Murderis a show that takes place in a law school and the main teacher is also a lawyer and so  she takes on a bunch of different interns to help her with her cases. Kind of every episode  is a different case. But there's this overarching narrative of a murder is committed by the interns  and they need to get away with murder, right? I am going to offer up  The Likeness which is a book I've talked about many times before but The Likeness is part of the  Dublin murder squad series, which does not need to be read in any order. So technically this is  the second one but you don't need the first one to get into it, like there's no background needed.This is one of the more like not super believable and ridiculous ones of this series, but it follows  our murder squad who has been given this case of a girl who has been killed. They aren't really sure  if her name is really her name, they don't have any records on her, no family, nothing. It's like she  doesn't really exist. The only info that they have is that she was living in this house with a bunch  of her friends. They really keep to themselves. They're kind of weird. It just so happens  that the lead detective on this case looks exactly like the victim. She for some reason  is like her identical twin. So the group of friends don't know that their friend has died yet and so  they decide to just pop this detective into the house to like observe and and see if any of them  are possible suspects. And she claims that she has amnesia and so she's able to like not remember,  like she'll forget where her room is or whatever, you know? It's kind of believable? I don't know.It feels a little bit like How To Get Away with Murder, like everybody in the house seems  friendly but also they're murder suspects and it's just a little weird and so I think if you are  interested in How To Get Away with Murderr there's a high possibility that you will also enjoy  The Likeness, so there you go. Okay, another film that is already based off of a book- A Series of  Unfortunate Events. I am going to recommend - oh wait I need to tell you what A Series of Unfortunate  Events is about. Exactly what it sounds like, A Series of Unfortunate Events. It follows three  kids who are orphaned and they are sent to live with their uncle, Count Olaf and it's just horrible.  Like, it's supposed to be kind of comedic. I haven't read it in so long but they were  a really big part of my childhood. I remember it's just creepy and eerie and count Olaf is not a  good dude. So that's A Series of Unfortunate Events and I'm going to recommend The Slade House which  is a book I've mentioned that freaks me out. If you read A Series of Unfortunate Events as a kid  and now you're an adult, I think The Slade House might tickle your fancy. So The Slade House - we  follow this particular home through many decades. Every once in a while people will be walking down  the street and they will find a door that they have never noticed before and if they go in.  They don't particularly come out, they never come out. They're never seen again. And so eventually we  start to learn more about the house and I really can't tell you any more. I would recommend it  to anybody who likes kind of a horror story but definitely A Series of Unfortunate Events people,  try out The Slade House. Okay, a lot of people actually said Juno or similar films like early to  mid-2000s like kind of contemporary comedic films. I don't have a whole lot of books like that on my  bookshelf but this one book that I remember loving as a kid is All American Girl by Meg  Cabot and I believe Meg Cabot also wrote thePrincess Diaries so it's kind of of that same vein.  All-American Girl is about a girl who lives in Washington DC she is attending like an art class - she's just kind of like this not like the other girls, you know, alternative girl. She walks out  of art class one day and she sees this guy with a gun. I forget if she jumps in front of the guy,  or what exactly happens but she stops an assassination attempt against the president. And  things go on from there. It was just a good time like I think something like that would be a good  summer read if you want just like an easy thing. I think that's like the theme for Meg Cabot's books.  I would recommend if you are looking for something kind of akin to a silly young romantic comedy,  All American Girl. Okay so many of you, so many of you, want to know Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which  I'm gonna out myself here, I have never seen. But from what I gather it's about a teenage girl who  slays vampires. I think that's a pretty good guess on my part. I'm going to recommend  three books that I think would appeal to those who watch Buffy. Number one being Daughter of Smoke and  Bone which I talked about in one of my monthly reading wrap ups. This was such a great series!  It follows this one girl who is just like trying to go through art school, she's living in Prague.  The only thing weird about her is that her hair is naturally blue and she's covered  in tattoos and she's like super young. But other than that, life is very normal  except for every once in a while she gets called back to visit good old dad. (Her guardian,not really her dad) It is Brimstone who is like this demony kind of character and she gets sent on  all these missions by him to go collect teeth so that he can do his weird magic and stuff. And  we start to learn that there is a big riff between the angels and these demons and the adventure  goes on from there. We learn about our main girl's life, she has a very very funny best friend that  was my favorite character. I would highly recommend it to anybody who's interested in fantasy. I really  loved it. It's got the spunk that I think Buffy has so you might enjoy. Second up is Crescent City  which is much more adult and it is about a girl in this world that has like demons and pixies and  like all these mythical creatures. There is this  tragic thing that happens in the beginning  and she has to solve this mystery and she ends up having to get the help of this like angel  demon like a death angel guy. If you like SJM kind of things, you will like this book  probably, I think. And last but not least for Buffy is a ninth House by Leigh Bardugo and this takes  place in Yale where they do really have secret societies. Actually Leigh Bardugo was part of one  when she went to Yale, fun fact. And so there are all these like clubs that you get initiated into  and it follows a girl who is in one particular one. There's a lot of like necromancy involved,  all these weird spells, I can't - it's, it's very demonic, it's very dark, this isn't young adult.This is Leigh Bardugo's first adult novel. It wasn't my favorite but I think if I read it again  I would like it a lot more. I'm not explaining it well at all because to be honest the plot  was a little confusing to me. The ambiance, the aesthetic was there and I think Buffy people,  think it appeals to y'all. So, Ninth House. Last two, wrapping it up - Gone Girl. So many said Gone Girl!So first of all, read the book Gone Girl, and then I'm also going to recommend the Girl on the Train.  This girl rides the train to work every single day and she just looks out the window, as one does, and  every time she goes past, she can see into certain homes. The whole book is kind of about voyeurism -  we're innocently just kind of watching somebody's life as you might if you're looking out the window  and you can see someone in their home. She starts to notice that something very weird is happening  in one particular house. There's a couple and one person in the couple just disappears and it  doesn't seem like they broke up, it seems sinister. And so she kind of goes and starts to investigate  it, like she gets so invested in this that she gets involved. And it's very gone girl-esque so if  you're looking for a summer thriller, A Girl on the Train - I believe they also made that into a movie,there you go. And I'm also going to recommend Night Film which...the plot has escaped me hold on...  Plot. Ah!Okay so the daughter of this famous director has committed suicide and the director is known  for being a recluse, so like no one has seen him in a really long time. And this journalist decides  that he is going to investigate it. It gets really creepy really fast. I remember reading it and  being genuinely freaked out and it takes a lot of unexpected turns, so it's very gone girly and very -  it was a good thriller, it was a good time. It wasn't my favorite but I do not regret reading  it. So, Night Film. Okay I'm losing my  so these are the last two. Criminal Minds. I  have two books for you, yes I have seen a bit of Criminal Minds. The show did not age well.But if you are interested in kind of CSI or criminal psychology stuff like that, I'm going  to recommend number one The Alienist which is also now a tv series. And it takes place at the turn of  the century, the end the late 1800s, in New York City and our main character is an alienist which  was the early word for psychologist. There is a serial killer on the loose and it's kind of the  first time that we're noticing serial killers. He gets hired by the police to basically be  a, what are they called, a profiler. He needs to look at these murders and be like 'who are we looking  for, who would be doing something like this' and so I thought it was very interesting. It was one of my  favorite books, I haven't read it in a long time so I might have to update that but I definitely  was drawn in. Again if you're into criminal psychology it was very interesting, very dark,  but if you're into Criminal Minds I think you can handle it. So The Alienist. Last recommendation is  The Black Hand and this - I love this book. I talked about it in my true crime video  which I'll link above. But it is about the Italian-American Sherlock Holmes. Joe Petrosino, he  is as I said an Italian-American guy who is living in New York, I believe it's also in  the 1800s and he kind of enters into the police force and starts really changing things because  historically, the police were very very Irish. The Italian immigrants came after the Irish,  if there was ever a problem affecting the Italians, the police like they couldn't speak Italian,  they didn't particularly care about this new wave of immigrants, so the Italian Americans were really  suffering as far as like getting the help that they need. This guy, Joe Petrosino, enters the police  force and he is like the Italian cop and he helps  the entire community and it's so interesting.  This is a non-fiction book but The Black Hand is I believe a Serbian crime syndicate. They are just  setting off bombs. If you don't pay them, they will blow you up. Like you pay us to protect you and  if you don't, we do the opposite of protect you. It was it was so interesting and it - I learned so much  that I didn't know and as someone who does love true crime, I couldn't recommend this highly enough,  The Black Hand. And that is it. That was very long, my throat is very sore. I apologize if I didn't  talk about the ones that you asked for. It was actually a lot harder than I thought, especially  because all of you guys like happy things. Particularly if you have any recommendations for  The Good Place or Gilmore Girls, those were like the main two. Please recommend books down below,  I'll put it as a pinned comment in fact. Yeah thank you so much, this was actually really fun, it was a  challenge but I enjoyed it. There were a couple others that I just didn't have time for - I'll  shout them out right now. Sherlock - Murder on Black Swan Lane. I'm not gonna tell you what those  are about but they're similar. Lost in Translation, I would recommend After Dark by Haruki Murakami.  What else did I skip? Oh and also Dark, the German very freaky tv show, it's on Netflix. It's  so dark, I couldn't find anything that dark and Idon't think I'd ever want to read anything that  twisted but I would recommend The Cloud Atlas because there is this kind of idea of soul and  time travel and it doesn't - I've only watched the first two seasons of Dark but it's nowhere near  as dark as Dark but you might like it I don't know, that was the closest I could come. Anyway, I  would love to try and do this again one time. Again, if you have any book video recommendations  please let me know and I will talk to you guys next time. I am having a fantastic reading month so  I'm excited to talk to you about June. I will see you next Friday. Okay? Okay. So talk to you later bye!!!\n"
