THANK GOODNESS FOR AUDIOBOOKS _ Reading Vlog #5 (August 21st - 27th)

As I sit here in my comfortable chair, curled up in a blanket, I am trying to muster up the energy to do everything I still have on my to-do list. I had promised myself that I would spend this evening editing two unboxings and planning out my schedule for tomorrow, but instead, I find myself getting sucked into the world of reading. It's about 11:00 p.m., and I am feeling relaxed and tired after a long day of avoiding all of my responsibilities.

I've been trying to cope with the fact that I have a bunch of stuff to do by not doing any of it. This plan is not working out too well, as evidenced by this montage showing me sitting here and reading "The Quarter of Wings, Grew," and "After Alice" by Gregory Maguire. It's clear that I've been spending most of my evening getting lost in these books, rather than tackling my tasks.

I have to admit that I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from these audiobooks. The popular opinion seems to be that they're not very good because they're a bit pretentious, but as a nerd, I find them appealing. So far, I'm really enjoying "After Alice." It's got all the makings of a great story - quirky characters, witty dialogue, and a dash of fantasy. I'm currently on page 259 out of 500 pages, so I've still got a ways to go before I finish.

As I close out this week's reading vlog, I have to admit that it wasn't exactly the most productive weekend. I did manage to finish two audiobooks, though - "The Land of Stories" by Chris Colfer and "After Alice" by Gregory Maguire. Both of these books were enjoyable in their own ways, but they also had some issues that bothered me.

I gave "The Land of Stories" 4 out of 5 stars. It was a really good book with some fantastic characters, but it had some pacing issues and plot holes that threw me off. On the other hand, I gave "After Alice" 4 out of 5 stars as well. This one had its own set of problems - like how often Gregory Maguire seemed to be pulling the wool over my eyes with his clever writing style! It was a bit frustrating at times, but overall, it was still a great read.

I'll save all of these details and more for my monthly wrap-up post, where I'll be discussing each of the books I've read so far this month. But for now, I think I'm just going to call it a night and head off to bed.

As I look forward to tomorrow, which is early - I have to start work at 8:00 p.m. - I think I'll try to squeeze in some reading before I go to bed. It's been too long since I've had any downtime, so this sounds like a great way to unwind and relax.

It's now Monday morning, and I haven't exactly been on top of my game lately. As I look back on the past week, it's clear that I've been putting off all of my responsibilities in favor of reading. It's not the healthiest habit, but it's one that brings me a lot of joy.

As I sit here at my desk, surrounded by piles of books and papers, I feel a sense of relief wash over me. I think I'm finally starting to get back on track - even if it is a bit belatedly. And who knows? Maybe tomorrow will be the start of something new and exciting for me.

Hello again, what's up everyone! It's almost 7 p.m., and I haven't vlogged today yet - partly because I was working this morning, but mostly because I didn't get around to updating like I usually do. I'm in my normal filming setup, which is still a bit disorienting after all these changes.

I've made it through the audiobook for "After Alice" by Gregory Maguire, and I have to say that I really liked it. The popular opinion seems to be that this isn't as good of a book as some other works in the Land of Faerie series, but I think that's where my nerdiness comes in - I find all sorts of interesting things about "After Alice" that make me enjoy it even more.

As for how long this vlog is going to be, I'm not entirely sure. It's been a while since I've posted an update, and I guess I just didn't want to deal with all the work that goes into creating these posts right now. But let me tell you - once again, there were so many great books out this month! Maybe next time, my post will be even more fun than usual.

I have to finish up a video review for "After Alice" by Gregory Maguire today before I go to bed, though, which means that it's almost 11:00 p.m. again already - time flies when you're having this much fun!

It's been weeks since I've last posted an update about what I'm reading, and yet here I am, back at it again with another vlog post about my favorite books of the month.

This week was full of great reads for me - two fantastic audiobooks that really captured my imagination. But now, as I sit down to write this post, I feel a sense of relief wash over me. It's finally time to stop reading and talk about all the good stuff!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhappy Monday I can't even say that with a straight face right now if you guys watch my last reading vlog then you know that I have been having a terrible weekend and it has been extending to today my cat really sick and he is like my bestest friend in the entire world and it's just killing me that I can't do anything for him and I don't know what's wrong and nothing seems to be working and I can't talk about it anymore I just wanted to tell you guys how I've been doing with reading I probably won't be updating anymore today I don't really know it depends on how the day goes but I'm supposed to be filming so I'm going to try and kind of chip her up and film some stuff and then we were bringing my cat back to the vet because we need to figure out what is wrong with him but I'm starting off my week continuing a quart of wings and broom by Sarah J mess I got at 113 pages into it last week so I'm hoping I'll be able to finish it by the end of the week that's kind of my goal is just to read this one book for the end of the week if I go a hundred pages a day I should be able to do it but right now I have not been doing that so I'm hoping I'll be able to meet that goal but I'm also listening to the audiobook for daughter of the burning city by Amanda foodie I have kind of been flying through it I have 4 hours and 26 minutes left so I am about four hours into it so I've been doing really well with this and last time I checked I was on like chapter 8 or something page 108 but I'm past that now but I'm really enjoying it so far actually it's kind of a cool dark circusy retelling so that's what I'm starting off my week with I have no clue how this week is going to go I honestly can't even really see past the next like 4 hours but it is now solar eclipsing outside so I need to try and get other videos filmed before it I'm in total darkness which I'm not going to be able to get anything filmed but I'm gonna try so this is easily the best purchase I've ever made in my entire life I got this reading chair last week I showed you guys actually I got it Sunday so I got it like two days ago but last week for you guys and I showed you it and my reading blog it is the comfiest thing in the universe but I am just sitting here right now we went to the vet earlier today and I'm feeling a little bit better about things because we got kind of a diagnosis so the vets thinking that Jackson has pancreas which isn't as bad in cats as it is in humans but it's still not ideal but it is May so he's on a bunch of stuff he's already seeming a lot better his blood was sent to the University of Texas to get tested so he find out about that tomorrow or on Wednesday so I'm feeling less like hopeless about the whole thing I guess so he's doing already a little bit better he's more his normal self which is good that said he's in a ton of pain which like breaks my heart but we're doing everything we can to help them he's on painkillers and stuff so hopefully it continues to help them out but I haven't actually sat down and bred any of a kawar I'm going to do that before bed I've just been way too stressed and like my mind has been in a million other places so I haven't been able to actually sit and read but I have read quite a bit of daughter will listen to quite a bit of daughter the burning City I am on almost page 200 I'm doing really well with it I'm enjoying it so far it's really cool different kind of giving me caramel type vibes so that's good but I was gonna show you guys what my desk area looks like because I mentioned in last log that I got a few things to kind of change it up so now I have changed it up so this is what my new little breeding space looks like I've only ever had my bed to read in which is fine but I always end up falling asleep while I'm reading things so it's kind of nice to have a chair as an alternative the pillow case is by evey bookish on society6 it is amazing and I love it and it's just right next to my bookshelf so can't beat that view and then coming over here we have my lovely desk every uh so I have four pictures here I still need to get a plant for that little phase in the back I haven't done that yet my calendar is on the top a more the stuff that's under the desk that's all for Ella because she sleeps weirdly but then the bookshelves over top I'm planning on changing these because these frames are too big so I'm gonna put ones that are like those ones up there and my little Alice figurine a globe and I have all of my children's classics as well as Jane Austen is just there because it looked pretty and then up here I have most of my adult classics as well as Shakespeare stuff and I've got little trinkets as well then coming over here on this wall I hung up a couple of the prints that I got in unboxings recently I have my calendar there which is still on July hilarious seeing as it is August 21st that is so funny and then I have this little print that is from utter nonsense designs and it says it's no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then that is another Alice quote so I am pretty happy with how this area turned out I think it's a nice little writing space it's fun cute all that good stuff I wish I had something for this wall right here because it's just a big blank space right now I have a couple of prints that could go up here but I don't know if I actually want to spend the time hanging them seeing as I'll probably be moving out relatively soon ish over here has kind of changed as well this is where I keep the books that I'm currently reading and then here I have a four picture frame I've got some bracelets and a little container thingy I don't know what you would call that top I guess and then I have another one of the I think it's Jim Shore who designs them I don't remember but I have another one of those things which is appropriately underneath the poster a half of the matte tea berry so that's what's going on in my room that was probably boring for you but you know that's fine but ya know I'm going to go and read some of a kawar and then go to sleeves I have had a stressful few days so I'm gonna try and get them nice good not restless sleep also Ella is a big fan of my reading chair as well she thinks I actually got it for her hello everyone so I'm actually just about to start filming I have to film edit and upload today's video all in one go since I didn't get to get it done yesterday and then I also have to film and edit of review for tomorrow and then I have to film the video for Thursday so it's a very busy day today bye I'm having a much better day Jackson is doing much better which is really exciting we haven't gotten the results of the test yet but I think that they have figured out what's wrong with him because he is doing a lot better he's still in quite a bit of pain but he's more himself he's eating his food again which is awesome and he just seems to be more like himself which is really what's important so so I'm really glad that I'm able to film today but I have been doing some reading so I was gonna update you guys so I have been reading court of wings and rune I am on page 167 of this making my way through it I finally did actually sit down and read it last night which is awesome so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get a hundred pages done of that today but then I've also been listening to daughter of the burning City and I am almost done this actually I don't know how much time I have left in the audiobook but I'm on page 300 so I am very much for making my way through those like really quickly so I just finished doing my rough edits on today's video I actually ended up filming way more than I was expecting so I haven't read anything but I filmed so many videos we filmed two unboxings I filmed my Wonder Woman review and I filmed both of the videos that I have for this week the main video so I'm in a mad dash to try and get my Tuesday video edited and uploaded so it was almost 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday I am super tired because I have been non-stop like literally non-stop since 7:00 in the morning and I dare you to not sing Hamilton when I say no and stop that many times but I did hear back from the vet this afternoon so Jackson does not have pancreatitis he has inflammatory bowel disease which is unfortunately a chronic condition but it's manageable so the vet said that that's good news but anyways I was able to get out the video earlier today and I got that up on time which I'm very excited about so tomorrow I have to edit a review because it's going to be going up tomorrow and I have to edit Thursday's video as well it's just crazy anything time but I do want to try and get back to writing I was doing really well with it but then all this stuff happened with Jackson and I just kind of stopped but I have been making my way through daughter in the burning city I am almost done this one I kind of want to try and finish tonight and then I'll focus on a kawar tomorrow I know that's upside down I'm just too lazy so I had a bit of a change in plants in my reading so it is 1 p.m. on Wednesday now and I decided to put down daughter the burning City which I was like 90% through the audiobook but I wasn't really retaining a lot of the stuff that was happening in the audiobook so I decided to put it down and I'm going to actually physically read it probably around Halloween time since it is a murder mystery so it's kind of like creepy and stuff like that and that just happens to me with certain audio books so that I end up putting it down and saving the book for when I have time to actually physically read it most audiobooks I'm good with and I retain all the information but ones like truth which by susan dennard I couldn't get through on audiobook and falling kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes I listened to twice on audiobook and I still don't remember what happened like in the moment I knew what was happening but now I can't go back that happens with certain books that I actually physically read as well because I have a terrible memory but I would like to try and give this one another go because I think it would be a good one to actually just fizz so that's my plan right now but I ended up picking up another audio book and I'm really loving it and that is land of stories by Chris Colfer I'm enjoying it so much I think it's going to be a great one so now I am going to sit and take some Instagram photos and listen to the audiobook for this so I've got all my Instagram stuff here I will show you guys so that's why my room is a little bit of a mess right now so this is where I take the majority of my photos is on this wooden thing it's not actually what it's cardboard but I got it when the story worked out was closing so that's cool and then I have all my Instagram stuff here is in just this bin and then I have the two blankets that I use I have some candles that are in here and then I have two sets of Lights right here that I'm going to use for some photos that I got yesterday and then I take some photos in front of my bookshelf but right now I think I'm gonna do some flat layers on here so I'm gonna go and do that blue so I kind of dropped off the face of the earth yesterday and I didn't vlog at all this morning it is now 4 p.m. on Thursday and I finished land of stories I think I told you guys that I started it I hope at least there's really annoying construction happening outside my house anyways I finished this it was awesome I enjoyed it so much it was just tons of fun super quick read it was an awesome audiobook so I actually think I'm going to end up continuing with the series because I did really like it I just love the fact that there is so many different fairy tales that are kind of woven in it's awesome so now that I'm done that audiobook I started listening to after Alice by Gregory Maguire and then I have not picked up a quart of wings in roon at all that's just because I've been so busy because my filming schedule got all messed up this past weekend so I had to film videos on Monday so then it was just this crazy editing time where I kept on having to edit videos on the day that they were going up so it's just taking me forever I haven't even started editing this vlog yet which really sucks so I'm going to have to try and do that and I still have to film next week's videos I think I'm going to do that tomorrow I just have had no time to do anything this week I don't know what it's been but I've just been so busy I just feel like I have a million things to do and I have literally no time to do it in so oh I'm so stressed but I'm going to try and finish everything I still have two unboxings to edit and find just having to upload them I have do a plan like it's just crazy so I'm going to stop vlogging now and do that but I really want to read this so I'm hoping I can find some time to read this is somewhere in there it looks like I haven't moved at all I have I have been not reading this entire time but I've been reading a lot so I was sitting here early on telling you guys about all the stuff that I had to do and bla bla bla bla so my method of coping with the fact that I have a bunch of stuff to do is not doing any of it so I did plan videos for tomorrow that I have to film but I did spend the majority of my night doing exactly what that montage was showing you which is sitting here and reading the quarter of wings and grew and so I'm about to go to bed because it's about 11:00 p.m. and I am very relaxed and tired because I've just been sitting in this comfy chair all curled up in a blanket and reading this and I'm really really liking it I as much as I tried to avoid any reviews or anything like that I did see some people like the majority of things that I saw I said that people were kind of disappointed by it especially after reading according missed in URI yeah that's the other one and I'm taking a ton of notes while I'm reading it so there would definitely be a review and discussion and it's probably gonna be super and long I'm hoping it won't be too long but I don't know if I'm just enjoying it a lot because I don't really remember akima that much or echo I don't know a quarter of thoughts of roses or a quart of mr. fury it's so hard to say the titles for these damn books but yeah I'm really like it I'm working early tomorrow morning so I'm probably going to go read a little bit in bed and then actually go to bed so I will update you guys tomorrow hello what is up it is almost 7 p.m. I have not vlog today it's Friday I was working this morning and now I'm filming which is why I'm in my filming setup and this looks like my normal videos but I just realized I had not updated yet but I am almost on the audiobook for after Alice by Gregory Maguire and I'm liking it a lot more than everyone else seems to be because the popular opinion is that this isn't a very good book because it's quite pretentious but like it is appealing to my nerdiness so I'm really enjoying it and I also still have been sitting in this very chair and avoiding all of my responsibilities and just devouring a collage so that is exciting I'm currently on page 259 so I have like 500 or like 450 pages to go so making my way through it slowly but I do still have a video to film I'm hoping I can film a review so I'm gonna go and do that now it is insanely hot right now so like if I just look like I'm dying that is because I am so good times but I don't even remember the last time I updated to be honest but I'm just going to close out this week's read and vlog because it is currently Monday and this should have gone up today but it's like Monday night and I'm finally closing out this vlog so sorry about that but it was just not a good weekend but I'll talk about that more in the next rating blog so anyways once again still working through this I'm on like page 300 or something like that I have been slowly but surely making my way through it I told you guys it takes me forever to read these but like not even kidding you but I was able to finish two audio books this week so I finished the land of stories by Chris Colfer which is up on top of my shelf and I just don't want to get it because it's so hot and I gave the land of stories a 4.5 out of 5 stars or a 4 out of 5 stars because it was really good but there were some issues and also since I updated less I finished after Alice by Gregory Maguire which I gave I believe a four out of five stars because once again really liked it but there were quite a few issues that I hacked with it but I will talk about all that issues and stuff like that for the books that I've read in my monthly wrap-up which will actually be coming soon but that is all for this week's reading blog I have to go and start next week's reading blog so I will see you then byehappy Monday I can't even say that with a straight face right now if you guys watch my last reading vlog then you know that I have been having a terrible weekend and it has been extending to today my cat really sick and he is like my bestest friend in the entire world and it's just killing me that I can't do anything for him and I don't know what's wrong and nothing seems to be working and I can't talk about it anymore I just wanted to tell you guys how I've

think I'm going to end up continuing with the series because I did really like it I just love the fact that there is so many different fairy tales that are kind of woven in it's awesome so now that I'm done that audiobook I started listening to after Alice by Gregory Maguire and then I have not picked up a quart of wings in roon at all that's just because I've been so busy because my filming schedule got all messed up this past weekend so I had to film videos on Monday so then it was just this crazy editing time where I kept on having to edit videos on the day that they were going up so it's just taking me forever I haven't even started editing this vlog yet which really sucks so I'm going to have to try and do that and I still have to film next week's videos I think I'm going to do that tomorrow I just have had no time to do anything this week I don't know what it's been but I've just been so busy I just feel like I have a million things to do and I have literally no time to do it in so oh I'm so stressed but I'm going to try and finish everything I still have two unboxings to edit and find just having to upload them I have do a plan like it's just crazy so I'm going to stop vlogging now and do that but I really want to read this so I'm hoping I can find some time to read this is somewhere in there it looks like I haven't moved at all I have I have been not reading this entire time but I've been reading a lot so I was sitting here early on telling you guys about all the stuff that I had to do and bla bla bla bla so my method of coping with the fact that I have a bunch of stuff to do is not doing any of it so I did plan videos for tomorrow that I have to film but I did spend the majority of my night doing exactly what that montage was showing you which is sitting here and reading the quarter of wings and grew and so I'm about to go to bed because it's about 11:00 p.m. and I am very relaxed and tired because I've just been sitting in this comfy chair all curled up in a blanket and reading this and I'm really really liking it I as much as I tried to avoid any reviews or anything like that I did see some people like the majority of things that I saw I said that people were kind of disappointed by it especially after reading according missed in URI yeah that's the other one and I'm taking a ton of notes while I'm reading it so there would definitely be a review and discussion and it's probably gonna be super and long I'm hoping it won't be too long but I don't know if I'm just enjoying it a lot because I don't really remember akima that much or echo I don't know a quarter of thoughts of roses or a quart of mr. fury it's so hard to say the titles for these damn books but yeah I'm really like it I'm working early tomorrow morning so I'm probably going to go read a little bit in bed and then actually go to bed so I will update you guys tomorrow hello what is up it is almost 7 p.m. I have not vlog today it's Friday I was working this morning and now I'm filming which is why I'm in my filming setup and this looks like my normal videos but I just realized I had not updated yet but I am almost on the audiobook for after Alice by Gregory Maguire and I'm liking it a lot more than everyone else seems to be because the popular opinion is that this isn't a very good book because it's quite pretentious but like it is appealing to my nerdiness so I'm really enjoying it and I also still have been sitting in this very chair and avoiding all of my responsibilities and just devouring a collage so that is exciting I'm currently on page 259 so I have like 500 or like 450 pages to go so making my way through it slowly but I do still have a video to film I'm hoping I can film a review so I'm gonna go and do that now it is insanely hot right now so like if I just look like I'm dying that is because I am so good times but I don't even remember the last time I updated to be honest but I'm just going to close out this week's read and vlog because it is currently Monday and this should have gone up today but it's like Monday night and I'm finally closing out this vlog so sorry about that but it was just not a good weekend but I'll talk about that more in the next rating blog so anyways once again still working through this I'm on like page 300 or something like that I have been slowly but surely making my way through it I told you guys it takes me forever to read these but like not even kidding you but I was able to finish two audio books this week so I finished the land of stories by Chris Colfer which is up on top of my shelf and I just don't want to get it because it's so hot and I gave the land of stories a 4.5 out of 5 stars or a 4 out of 5 stars because it was really good but there were some issues and also since I updated less I finished after Alice by Gregory Maguire which I gave I believe a four out of five stars because once again really liked it but there were quite a few issues that I hacked with it but I will talk about all that issues and stuff like that for the books that I've read in my monthly wrap-up which will actually be coming soon but that is all for this week's reading blog I have to go and start next week's reading blog so I will see you then bye\n"
