 Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm actually going to be bringing you guys another book recommendations video based off of metal socks. So you guys really seem to enjoy the last one and recommended that I do another one so that's what I'm going to bring to you today. I'm filming in my dorm which is a little bit weird just my why lighting might be weird or I don't know but I think I think this is good right I think before we jump into the video I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Ana Luisa for sponsoring this video and for sending me some jewelry pieces so they sent me three little pouches with jewelry in them and today I'm wearing like the snake boa earrings that I got from them I'll show a close-up but I really like them and I really like this brand they I've worked with them before and they're a sustainable jewelry brand and they're like carbon neutral and their stuff ranges from like $39 and up which it's all like really good quality and like it doesn't like make your your ears bleed or anything like that so like I know people have a problem if they buy fake earrings then you know their ears will bleed so this doesn't have that problem because that happens to my ears sometimes but not with these. I have some Black Friday sales that are gonna be happening so I'll have a link for you down below to check them out if you want to no pressure but I just think they're a great company and yeah I've worked with them before and yeah their stuff is just really really nice so I'll have a link down below if you want to do anything for Black Friday I also also have a code down there as well see all this jump right into this video. Keep up doing more chill sit down videos like this maybe with like a cup of coffee one day or like a do a video with pajamas and like we could just chill together together. The first song I have is bodies by Drining Pool. This one I just think is a interesting song like I've been playing it a lot on repeat to the point where like now I don't listen to it as much but I still enjoy the song and of course I'll have these all linked down below for you guys so you can listen to them or not or I don't know but the book pairing that I had with this was Doubt Volume 1 so this is actually a horror manga series and it's only like two too thick mangas so it's not that long or anything. In the universe there is a game called Rabbit Doubt. Players are the rabbits and then you have to find out and uncover who the wolf is is basically the whole concept I guess and one day a bunch of these people get together and want to do something like an offline version and they end up things go wrong and they end up in an abandoned building and they have weird barcodes on them like they just have random barcodes on them that's not a good thing and there's also like a corpse in the room so they have to figure that out and it's very like gruesome and fun and interesting and you just follow the mystery. Literally the only reason why I paired these two together was because of death in this one and that's what it mainly revolves around and bodies hitting the floor which is a lyric from the song and I just was like okay we'll put them together. Also sorry that I don't have any of these books in person to show you. I don't have any of them here but I'll put photos up. Next I have Carnivore by Starset. I really like Starset I've been listening to them for a while but Carnivore was just a pretty good song. I decided to pair it with The Shining by Stephen King so if you don't know what The Shining is about it's about a man named Jack Torrance who gets a job at the Overlook Hotel over the winter. He's supposed to watch The Boiler Room so he decides to take his wife and son so his wife Wendy and his son Danny along with him to the hotel as he's working there over the winter and like they'll be the only ones really there. His goal is to like you know right spend time with his family do his job whatever and as they spend more and more time at this hotel things start to go wrong and people start to hear things and Danny has some abilities too so there's just a lot of things that come to the surface in this story and the reason I paired these two together was the lyrics really reminded me of Danny and like his inner struggles and inner battles. I love Danny as a character and if you read Doctor Sleep you will even get a mourn of appreciation for him I think. One is Remedy by Cedar again really like this song but the pairing for it I actually paired Frankenstein by Mary Shelley with this one. If you don't know about Frankenstein it was it's a horror classic written by Mary Shelley when she was only 18 years old it's one of my favorites. I love Frankenstein so much like when people say they don't like it or that they had problems with it I just have a little bit of trust issues you're entitled to your opinion but I have a little bit of trust issues that's all I'm gonna say. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with creating a monster and he succeeds. Things go awry when the monster starts to wreak havoc on his life as well as the lives of people he cares about so that's what the story follows. Again I love Frankenstein. My reason for this pairing was that the song deals with addiction just like how Frankenstein becomes addicted to his creation the monster that was just my little thing just because the song deals with addiction Frankenstein monster. For the fourth one is probably my favorite song on this list it's called Another You by Of Mice and Men I still listen to this one on repeat it's a favorite it's off like an old album of theirs too but it's so good so if you're gonna listen to one song that I recommend listen to this one it's really really good. I ended up pairing this with The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer which I read a long time ago but it's a YA contemporary so a bit different from the previous books I've mentioned but it's a YA contemporary and it's about this boy who is on vacation with his family so his name is Matthew and him and his brother go out sneak out in the middle of the night and Matthew's the only one that comes back and so something happens to his brother and the story also follows Matthew 10 years later still trying to come to terms with what happened so this book really deals with like grief trauma and mental illness so those are three things to keep in mind if you're picking this book up just like how another you can deal with like a loss if that's a lover or someone actually passing away anything like that any type of loss that is why I pair them together. A quote that I really liked from this book and it was in my Goodreads review from like years ago it's I decided each name on each spine was the person who the book had been written for rather than who had written it I decided everyone in the world had a book with their name on it and if I search hard enough I'd eventually find mine. Lastly here we have Cut the Chord by Shine Down and I really like this song a few of my friends into the song because like it's not too aggressive or anything but it's pretty good so the book that I actually paired with this it was The Howl in the Why by Cynthia Hand which I talked about a lot this year but I will continue to talk about it because more people need to read it and it's probably one of my favorites from this year but basically this book follows this girl named Cassandra and she seems to have a really good family life but she starts to question where she came from and who her adopted like her who her birth parents are and that kind of thing so even though she has great adopted parents and they are obviously her parents she starts to wonder where she came from and things about her birth mother and we also follow on the other hand we follow a 16 year old girl who is writing notes to her baby as she's pregnant and lives in like a home with other teenagers who are pregnant and she writes notes to her baby as she is going to be giving her up for adoption. There's also discussions of abortion in this book so keep that in mind. I wrote in my little thing it talks about family life, adoption, abortion, illness, teenage pregnancy and it's a coming-of-age story so if that interests you at all I would highly recommend checking it out and the reason why I paired this song with the Shine Down song specifically was because the song talks about controlling your own destiny which I think is how Cassandra kind of feels and what she discovers throughout the book. So yeah there we have it. Those are some books that I recommend to you guys and some songs. I'll have them linked down below so you can check them out. I will also have my code for Ana Luisa down below and their website if you want to check them out.
