 Hey guys, it is Monday, how are you? I hope you're great. So I just got home from school a little while ago, it's currently 3.40, and I just finished filming a video, so I'm super happy that I got that done, because sometimes when I get home I'm like, I don't want to do anything, like I want to relax, and then I'll start doing stuff, but since my makeup was already done and the sun, like the lighting was good because I use natural and artificial, but whatever, since the lighting was good I thought, Julie, you're gonna film, you're ready? Film, so, because I already had the video planned out, so I ended up filming, I'm really happy about that, but school was okay, if you didn't see last week's reading vlog, basically back to school new semester, which it was okay, that's all I have to say, it was okay, but I'm home, so whatever, so today I'm going to be, not today, I feel like it's so late, like I'm so tired, so since I filmed, I also have to do some stuff for my online course tonight, I want to check that out, see what that's about, I have a little bit of homework to do, even though it was the first day, I still have a little bit of homework to do, I need to clean up a little bit, because I was a little bit, like a tiny bit in a rush, so I haven't made my bed yet, which drives me nuts, because I always make it every morning, so yeah, and then I just want to clean up a little bit, because I'm closed away, and yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna do about reading, like I'll get around to reading, but it'll probably be at night, so I'll probably update you like later, or tomorrow, so yeah, oh this tripod looks real good, okay, so I got a package in Z-Mail, and this is from a publishing company, I've never been this excited in my life, a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's okay, I am so excited, I just got home from school, so for like a reading update, I am over a hundred pages into Retribution Rails, and that's about it, which I'm fine with, because I've been, you know, school, so this was sent to you by Andrews, making me a publishing, thank you so much, let's open this, it's like really nicely taped, so like I don't want to ruin it, I don't want to cut anything like the book, okay, I got it, you guys can see it before me, look, look, look, look, look, look, you guys know how much I love RHSEN, so this, this is his new book that actually just came out today, on February 6th, this is Plainty Gardens in Grey, so thank you so much, and then I also got an early copy of The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One by Amanda Lovelace, so thank you so so much to Andrews Meal Publishing, I'm so excited to read these, like soon as I am done, why, I might just start this one tonight, we'll see what happens, but I'm so excited for these, so yeah, thank you so much to them, yay, I'm so happy about these, like this is the best thing to come home to after school, you know, when you've had a shindy day, this is what I like to come home to, hello, this is a very weird angle, but hello, my bullet journal, whatever, okay, so it is Friday and I have sucked at updating so much this week, so I'm so sorry, I was thinking about taking a break from the reading logs, next week is contemporary thoughts, so there will definitely be one then, but I may take a break from doing them every week just because I just started my new semester, which by the way it's going okay, so thank you for those who were wishing me luck and all that's sort of stuff, but this semester I have English, math, biology, and business, so I've got quite a full semester and it's definitely where my marks matter most at this point and usually I kind of put YouTube as a really high priority for me just because I love it so much and I've always been dedicated to it, but I'm gonna make myself take a little bit of time away from it, not like a ton, like it's not like you'll never see me again, but just a little bit of space from it just because I uploaded 24 videos in January and I feel like I cannot do that, the rest of the school year, absolutely not, so yeah, but I will give you guys a reading update, so on another note, I finished planting gardens and grids, which if you guys saw one of the previous clips, I wrote my Goodreads review for it, so you guys saw I unbox it, okay, like what did I put in this vlog, okay, so this was really good, I really enjoyed this a lot, you guys know I love his stuff, so like it has nothing to do that, I was sent something by the publishing company, all opinions are my own, I think you should guys should be aware of this, but I really enjoyed planting gardens in grades, the only thing, like I loved it, there were so many poems I loved, I tabbed it the whole thing up, I'm super excited for the rest of this book and everything else that he's gonna be coming out with this year and it's so great, I really enjoyed it, and the only reason why, I gave it 4.5, the only reason I knocked it a 0.5 was because I feel like, I don't know how to explain it, but like it's not as good as a beautiful composition of broken, so that one was a 5 star one for me, and it was still really good though, and like my only, I love how I just put my leg up, my only thing was, it's very much targeted toward heterosexual females, so I thought I'd put that out there, and of course everyone can relate to like these feelings, these thoughts, these emotions, blah blah blah, but it is the pronouns and the way the story is told is targeted towards heterosexual females, so keep that in mind, I hope, I didn't mean that to offend anyone, or I don't know, but then yesterday I finished, the wish doesn't burn in this one, but look at all these tabs, I adored this so much, and the writings in red is just so important, and I liked how this one had like a nice like story line going through it, so it kind of had a bit of story, and then it went into some poetry, and it was just really nice, and it deals a lot with feminism, like I would say more than the first book, there's way more feminism here, and it's about the power of women, the fierceness of women, a bit of female history, and I really enjoyed it, I thought it was really really well done, and I'm super excited for book 3, which is like about mermaids and sirens and songs, and it's gonna be really cool, so I'm super excited about that, but this was great, I'm still battling if I'm gonna give it the full five, I adored it, don't get me wrong, but it did get a little bit repetitive, but like that's me nitpicking, and like there was so many things I loved about this, and I tabbed so many things, and I couldn't stop reading it, like it's divided into the trial, the burning, the firestorm, and the ashes, and it has, I want to show you guys this, it has a thing in the beginning full of trigger warnings, and that's something that I've never seen in a book before, and I just really want to see more of, I think it's great, it's really for your reviewer, because sometimes it can be hard to keep track of all the trigger warnings, but not only that, but it's very important for readers, and it's good to be aware of what the book is going to be talking about, and some of the issues and themes that are gonna be brought up, so I really appreciated this, and I know some of the other people will as well when it releases, it releases on March 6th, if you guys are wondering, I'm super excited for everyone to read this, and I really really enjoyed it, I mean they're gonna give like a 4.5 or a 5, it was great, so yeah. That's all for my update, tomorrow I have something really exciting going on, but like I can't really vlog it while I am vlogging, but not to put it in this vlog, you know what I'm saying? No you don't, but yeah, there'll be a cool video coming out soon, and I can't film tomorrow really, unless there's reading updates, but I don't think there will be, I've kind of been slacking, which is okay, but yes, talk to you guys soon, back. Okay so I'm just going to be ending this reading vlog here, and just some quick updates, so I'm currently editing this, it's done, I just need to add this clip in, and then out of this clip, but I don't think you guys care about that, but whatever, so basically I wanted to share that, I also got an ARC in the mail yesterday, so this is how to deal tarot for everyday life, I sent this by HCC Frenzy, which is like a team over at HarperCollins, like the team section over at Harper, and thank you so much to them for sending this to me, and I've been like looking into horoscope recently, and then like I've been reading my horoscope all month, I don't know if I necessarily believe in all this stuff, this is like a topic for a whole other video, but this sounded really interesting to me, so this comes out in May, so I wanted to give this one a read and see the whole tarot card, the everything to do with tarot cards, it seems fun, I don't know, so that I got that, and then for reading updates, so I did read two poetry collections this week, both I was sent, and I loved them both so much, and I was anticipating them both so much, so I'm super happy that I read them, and I loved them both, but for my other books contemporary thong starts tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'm gonna continue these or if I'm gonna wait till the next week, but the drawing of Three by Stephen King, I'm still reading this one, I kind of slapped up with the audiobook, so the audiobook expired, but I'm like this far into it, I like it, it's fun, like I don't know, I don't have much to say, and then Retribution Rails, I'm still reading this, like I've been so tired at night that I just crashed, so I don't, I haven't been reading that much, but I'm about this far into this one, I don't know, they're both good, it's just, I've been just slacking a little, you know, but yes, that's how much I have of this one left, so yes thank you guys so so much for watching, and if you made it to the end of this vlog, I know it's a short one, but contemporary thong, I'm gonna upload one next week for the readathon, and then after that I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from these, and yeah, so comment a, I don't know what to comment, what is the, what are you, so comment a snowflake, it's currently snowing, comment a snowflake if you feel like it, so thank you guys so so much for watching, I'll see you super soon, bye!
