The Artistic Expressions of Notability: A Creative Outlet for Reading Enthusiasts

As a book lover and artist, I have discovered a unique way to express my creativity through the platform Notability. This app offers a range of brush options, allowing users to bring their reading experience to life with vibrant colors and artistic flair. With the ability to draw and color, readers can transform traditional reading materials into interactive masterpieces that showcase their imagination and creativity. Whether it's coloring pages or creating an entirely blank canvas, Notability provides the perfect outlet for artists and bookworms alike.

For me, partnering with Notability has been a game-changer in my reading journey. I started by using the app to enhance my reading experience with its various brush options. The result was a beautifully illustrated version of the book that not only reflected my artistic side but also allowed me to engage more deeply with the story. I found myself lost in the world of fantasy, where gods and mythology came alive through the author's unique storytelling. As I delved into the pages, I discovered a war among gods that piqued my interest and drew me in with its complexities.

The story follows two main characters, Roman and Iris, who work at a paper company and are rival journalists. Their anonymous correspondence adds a layer of intrigue to their interactions, revealing their different perspectives on life and their own personal struggles. As I read through the book, I began to appreciate the author's unique approach to storytelling, which blended elements of fantasy with emotional depth. The romance between Roman and Iris added an extra layer of tension to the story, making me invested in their relationship.

As I progressed through the book, I noticed a slight dip in pacing around page 260. However, this minor slowdown was quickly followed by a surge of excitement as the author introduced new plot twists and expanded on the mythology. The letters between Roman and Iris became increasingly emotional, revealing vulnerabilities and insecurities that made me root for them even more.

The story culminated in an emotional conclusion that left me feeling satisfied but also wanting more. I must admit that I was surprised by the book's unique take on fantasy and romance, which deviated from my initial expectations. While it may not have been as action-packed or adventurous as I had anticipated, I found myself drawn into the world of gods and mortals.

As I finished the book, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the author's skillful storytelling. The letters, in particular, were a standout feature that added an extra layer of depth to the narrative. With its blend of fantasy, romance, and emotional resonance, this book was a true page-turner.

Notability has become an integral part of my reading experience, allowing me to express my creativity and engage more deeply with the stories I read. Whether it's coloring pages or creating an entirely blank canvas, I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring my love of reading into the digital realm.

As I reflect on my reading journey this week, I realize that every day brings new challenges and opportunities. My typical reading week might include anywhere from a few to twelve books, making it difficult to pinpoint an average reading pace. However, with Notability by my side, I'm always ready to explore new worlds and express my creativity.

A Week of Reading: A Tale of Two Endings

My week of reading began on a promising note, but as the days went by, I found myself feeling more and more fatigued. While I was excited to dive into my next read, "Divine Rivals," I couldn't shake off the feeling that I'd reached my reading limit for the week. As I settled in for a night of reading, I realized that my energy levels were waning, making it harder to focus on the story.

However, as I began reading "Divine Rivals," I felt a surge of excitement and renewed energy. The world of gods and mythology was richly detailed, and the author's writing style drew me in with its unique blend of fantasy and romance. As I delved deeper into the book, I found myself swept up in the story, eager to discover more about Roman and Iris's relationship.

The pace of the book picked up as I progressed through the pages, revealing a complex web of politics and intrigue that kept me on the edge of my seat. The author skillfully wove together threads of mythology and romance, creating a narrative that was both engaging and emotionally resonant.

As I approached the conclusion of "Divine Rivals," I felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that I had invested myself in the story. While it may not have been perfect, the book left me with a lasting impression and a desire to explore more of the world and its characters.

In contrast to my initial expectations, which centered around an enemies-to-lovers romance, "Divine Rivals" took an unexpected turn into emotional depth and intellectual complexity. The author's writing was beautifully descriptive, and the letters between Roman and Iris added an extra layer of tension to their relationship.

As I finished reading "Divine Rivals," I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the author's skillful storytelling. The book left me with a lasting impression, and I eagerly anticipated my next read.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi can I do the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and a lemonade good morning I just got breakfast did some reading which honestly is the best way to start a day I'm currently reading Reckless by Elsie silver I started this book yesterday and I just meant to read for like 20 minutes yesterday and then the book got so good and I ended up reading over 250 Pages yesterday I just ignored all my work and read there's something unexpected that happened at the beginning of this book and that just really hooked me but yeah I'm loving this book so much I have the biggest fattest crush on theoa he's very quickly becoming one of my favorite book boyfriends he's such a flirt which I love like what is not to love about Theo Sila okay let's head home and do some more reading I just read to page 431 and I'm so excited about this next chapter we're getting something unexpected I'm not going to tell you it because spoilers but you know like when you're halfway through a book and you get like a surprise POV and it's so exciting because it feels like bonus content that's what this feels like it's not a surprise POV it's something else but it's just as like bonus content feeling as a surprise POV I finished the book look oh my gosh I loved it so much five stars for sure I think this is my new favorite book in the chestnut spring series Theo SOA is just oh he's seriously going to go down as one of my top book boyfriends I also love that he's a bull writer we got that in the first book in the series Flawless but it was great to like I don't know hear about that like Sport and Industry again in this book and yeah I am so excited for the next and last book in the series hopeless which is Bose's book b to me feels so kind of mysterious because we don't know that much about him and I have a feeling that his book is going to be a little bit more of an emotional one just a guess but yeah that's all the reading that I'm doing for today that was a lot of reading to be honest a little bit higher than I would normally read in a day but this book was just so good if I find a book I love I can't put it down there's two books I'm really debating between reading which is the wishing game and spinning silver I've had the strongest craving to read a fantasy book for this book and I was like why do I want to read a FY so bad and I looked on Goodreads like the most recent books I've read and the last nine books I read were just complete romances which I normally read romance but I typically mix it up like I'll read a few romances then a fantasy then a few romances maybe like a mystery thriller I just think it's been a long time since I've read that many just 100% romances in a row so I need something different for this next book here's my debate I really want to read spinning silver more I think than the wishing game but I'm still trying to hit my reading goal this year of 100 books I have so many books left to read read I don't even know if it's possible to hit my reading goal wait let me rephrase that it's possible but not probable but it is possible so I'm still going for it and spinning silver I looked up the Audi book and it's 18 hours long which is so long A lot of times I look up audiobooks to kind of get like a gauge for how long it'll take me to read it I read faster than an audio book but it's like a decent reference point I feel like for the amount of hours it takes to read that book so that's just so long and I could read two books in that same time length so because of that I think I'm going to go with the wishing game and this book does sound really good while spinning silver is fantasy this one is more more magical realism I think it has a little romance subplot in it but I think for the most part it's fiction magical realism and the plot sounds quite cool it's about this author named Jack he writes children's books and suddenly he just like stops writing books it's been years and years and years since he's written a book and out of the blue he has a competition to win the one and only copy of his newest book so that's where our main character Lucy comes in she's a huge fan of him and she's competing in this competition to win his new book which just sounds so cool I don't know quite where like the magical part comes in but I'm very intrigued I just got to part two Tik Tok welcome to the clock so far I am loving it so so much it feels so magical and Whimsical there's a little review quote on the front that says this book is clever dark and hopeful a love letter to reading and the power childhood stories have over us long after we've grown up and I feel like that is such an accurate representation of how I felt so far about this book our main character like I mentioned is Lucy and then there's also this boy that she teaches and they both love these children's books by this famous author Jack so so much and being able to read all of like the wonder that this little boy feels when reading the books is so cool I feel like a lot of times it can be hard for adult authors to write children realistically because obviously they're adults and it's hard to capture like the voice and like mindset of a child but this author Meg Schaefer is doing such an incredible job of writing this little boy there's so many little details like the little boy thinks all the characters in the books are real which feels so accurate I know when I was a kid I thought everything was real I thought my stuffed animals were alive I thought books were real life so far I've just felt so much like childhood Wonder reading this book on to part three riddles and games and other strange things I just hit page 152 and I think I'm going to stop here for today but I know I've said this like 500 times I can't get over how freaking magical this book feels it has references to Alison Wonderland and Wily Wonka and I would say it really gives me similar feels to those books it definitely feels like it could be inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and like I said the character Jack is a famous children's author in this book and we actually get to read Snippets from his children's books which is really cool and it's cool how all of the like little Snippets from his children's books and like the lessons you can learn in those little stories definitely reflect kind of what the characters are going through and also just like real world lessons kind of makes me want to reread all my like childhood children's books because I bet I'd find something similar of these like very magical and fun and simple stories but that do contain a lot of wisdom just worded in a way that's fit for kids anyway I will see you guys tomorrow good morning this morning I did a little reading and I read a page 194 I also went and saw Wonka last night the new Willy Wonka movie with Timothy Shaman it was so good I really liked it having just seen that movie while also reading this book The Vibes Immaculate this morning when I was reading I could not stop playing Pure Imagination from the original Wily Wonka by Jun Wilder just on repeat while reading this It just fits so perfectly anyway I just got the audio book and I think I'm going to wrap some Christmas presents while listening to the audio book I just got all Jan's presents and put them in front of me do you guys want to see what I got him he's in the other room so I may have to whisper he really wants to start decorating his office more so I got him a few Like Home Decor things I got him two things of art he's into very funky art and I got him a second one probably can't tell through the paper that well but I think it's really cool and then I got in this lamp which now that I'm looking at it honestly might be more my style than his style but if he isn't into it that's okay you can return it and get something else and it's really cool when you light it up it is like multicolor light because it has this like iridescent e outside and then he's a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys so got him some cowboys merch going to put my headphones back on and let's get wrapping this second half of the book definitely delves much like deeper into the characters and all the struggles that they're facing I'm really liking that the first half was so magical and Whimsical and then this second half really brings a lot of depth good morning it's 2 days later I didn't film at all yesterday just because they didn't read very much all I did was finish the last bit that I had of the wishing game and I really love this book so much which is so unexpected just because I went in with no expectations this isn't a book I bought it's a book that was sent to me typically before I buy a book I look up a ton of reviews on it just because I want to make sure that the book I'm buying I think all liked but because this book was sent to me I didn't read any reviews beforehand I just kind of skimmed the summary it's always the best feeling when you go into a book with no expectations and then it just blows you away I'm really heavily debating between 4.5 and 5 stars but I feel like if you have to debate then it's probably not a full five star read so I'm going to go with 4.5 stars for my rating anyway on to our next book I really want to read Divine Rivals next from everything I've heard about this book it sounds very like enchanting and magical and after coming off the wishing game which is so magical and loving it I'm like in the mood for another magical book but but I did check out a book from my library as an ebook and today is actually the last day I can read it so I think I'm going to try and read this ebook in one day normally I would just return it to my library and recheck it out later but it's a Christmas book there's a bunch of holds on the book after me so I probably won't be able to get it till like January February and by then I probably won't care about reading Christmas book so I really want to read it today and then I swear tomorrow I'll start Divine rivals I just hit page 73 which is officially halfway through the book this book is so cute it takes place in this tiny town called Quincy and our main character is from California but she's coming to stay in this hotel in town for Christmas and like the way this hotel feels both like so fancy like five star luxury but at the same time like so quaint and cozy it's just so so cute when I was little in elementary school me and my parents and some of my other family members would go on a little trip every Christmas and stay in this hotel and just reading this book about like being in a cozy hotel at Christmas time is giving me so much Nostalgia to when me and my family did this and also the male love interest in this book is her bodyguard so like very cozy quaint Christmas book meets The Bodyguard Trope I'm loving it I just finished a Christmas in Quincy I think I would say three stars I would still recommend it as like a cute short small town Christmas book but the ending made it like drop down a bit for me we had a lot of good like romantic buildup throughout the book and then I thought it just ended so fast it felt so rushed to me at the end which was a little bit of a bummer I am going to add it into my virtual book shelf though I've been keeping track of every single book that I've read this year and adding them to my virtual bookshelf and notability I also use notability for a million things I use notability to keep track of my planner to make to-do lists notability is also fantastic for students you can use notability to take notes and there's a gazillion other incredible features for students I wish I knew about notability when I was still in school outside of just writing and drawing and highlighting you could also insert content captured from a website so if you want to screenshot like a great paragraph from a site and add that into your notes you can do that and they have a fantastic template Gallery where you can download a ton of templates to help keep you organized or just fun templates like I said you have the ability to draw and they have a bunch of different brush options so you can get like coloring pages you can just be so artsy and creative within notability or you can just start with a completely blank page and make that page whatever you need it to be just a big thank you to notability for partnering with me and you can click the link in my description to download the app for free okay that concludes today's reading as you can tell by the fact that it is night time I kind of struggled through this one a bit not because the book was batter or anything I mean I did give it three stars but we're just hitting a point in the week where I'm getting a little bit tired of reading I think if I wasn't trying to hit my yearly reading goal of 100 books I probably would have taken today off from Reading to be honest I always think it's nice to take like a day or two off where I don't read anything just to kind of reset or I notice that I start to get kind of tired of books but tomorrow I really want to start Divine Rivals I'm actually so excited for that book so I think when I started I'm going to feel rejuvenated and like re excited to read a bunch tomorrow time to start Divine rals I'm so excited I TR page 78 and I really like the book so far it's very unique it's not what I expected in this book there is a war among Gods which I think is so interesting to read about and the fact that they're fictional Gods I've read a few books around mythology but not a book involving fictional Gods created by the author so just getting to hear about all the history of this world is very interesting and why this world Wars going on basically our two main characters both work at this paper and they're Rivals at the paper and they're also accidentally anonymously writing each other so it's cool that we see their life at the paper where they know each other and their Rivals and they have all these assumptions about each other but then we also get to see their correspondence through writing and just how they interact with each other so differently through the letters I'm on page 129 and this book I said this earlier but it is quite different than what I thought it was going to be I think i' always heard that it was rivals to lovers so I assumed it was enemies to lovers and it was going to be full of like banter and them hating each other and then falling in love and then also some fantasy as well but it's really not bad it's a much more emotional and intellectual book than I thought it was going to be not in a bad way and in a good way it's cool it's interesting it's it's different than like the typical romantic see I would read so I'm just very curious where the book is going I feel like the plot could go anywhere at this point which I'm so intrigued by we're starting off today with part three the words in between I love these pages with the flowers I just got to page 260 and there was a little chunk in the Middle where I was feeling like the pacing was starting to move a little bit slow but then more recently the book has picked up so much more and ALS Alo we're getting a lot with the romance now which is making me really excited Roman and Iris feel like they have such a vulnerable and more emotional relationship which is very cool I just finished the book I really liked it I think I'm going to say 4.5 Stars it's so beautifully written oh it's literally so beautifully written and I love the letters in this book I think the only reason I wouldn't say a full five stars for me just because like I said there was a bit in the Middle where the pacing felt a little slow to me and I also think it could have been really cool if this book leaned way more into the politics and the gods I also feel like with book number two we're going to get a lot more of the mythology and the politics just a guess but based on how this book ended anyway that is the end of this video I'll put on the screen how many pages I read this week I started out thinking this was going to be like a very realistic reading week in my life but I would say this was a realistic week for me but definitely on the high end like I typically probably wouldn't read any more than this in a week it's so crazy how every week every month is so different for me reading wise I was making a Tik Tok of how many books I read every single month this year and there are months where I read five or six books there are months where I read 12 books so I feel like I really have no average reading week anyway with that I will see you guys in my next video byehi can I do the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and a lemonade good morning I just got breakfast did some reading which honestly is the best way to start a day I'm currently reading Reckless by Elsie silver I started this book yesterday and I just

not because the book was batter or anything I mean I did give it three stars but we're just hitting a point in the week where I'm getting a little bit tired of reading I think if I wasn't trying to hit my yearly reading goal of 100 books I probably would have taken today off from Reading to be honest I always think it's nice to take like a day or two off where I don't read anything just to kind of reset or I notice that I start to get kind of tired of books but tomorrow I really want to start Divine Rivals I'm actually so excited for that book so I think when I started I'm going to feel rejuvenated and like re excited to read a bunch tomorrow time to start Divine rals I'm so excited I TR page 78 and I really like the book so far it's very unique it's not what I expected in this book there is a war among Gods which I think is so interesting to read about and the fact that they're fictional Gods I've read a few books around mythology but not a book involving fictional Gods created by the author so just getting to hear about all the history of this world is very interesting and why this world Wars going on basically our two main characters both work at this paper and they're Rivals at the paper and they're also accidentally anonymously writing each other so it's cool that we see their life at the paper where they know each other and their Rivals and they have all these assumptions about each other but then we also get to see their correspondence through writing and just how they interact with each other so differently through the letters I'm on page 129 and this book I said this earlier but it is quite different than what I thought it was going to be I think i' always heard that it was rivals to lovers so I assumed it was enemies to lovers and it was going to be full of like banter and them hating each other and then falling in love and then also some fantasy as well but it's really not bad it's a much more emotional and intellectual book than I thought it was going to be not in a bad way and in a good way it's cool it's interesting it's it's different than like the typical romantic see I would read so I'm just very curious where the book is going I feel like the plot could go anywhere at this point which I'm so intrigued by we're starting off today with part three the words in between I love these pages with the flowers I just got to page 260 and there was a little chunk in the Middle where I was feeling like the pacing was starting to move a little bit slow but then more recently the book has picked up so much more and ALS Alo we're getting a lot with the romance now which is making me really excited Roman and Iris feel like they have such a vulnerable and more emotional relationship which is very cool I just finished the book I really liked it I think I'm going to say 4.5 Stars it's so beautifully written oh it's literally so beautifully written and I love the letters in this book I think the only reason I wouldn't say a full five stars for me just because like I said there was a bit in the Middle where the pacing felt a little slow to me and I also think it could have been really cool if this book leaned way more into the politics and the gods I also feel like with book number two we're going to get a lot more of the mythology and the politics just a guess but based on how this book ended anyway that is the end of this video I'll put on the screen how many pages I read this week I started out thinking this was going to be like a very realistic reading week in my life but I would say this was a realistic week for me but definitely on the high end like I typically probably wouldn't read any more than this in a week it's so crazy how every week every month is so different for me reading wise I was making a Tik Tok of how many books I read every single month this year and there are months where I read five or six books there are months where I read 12 books so I feel like I really have no average reading week anyway with that I will see you guys in my next video bye\n"
