Hi and welcome back to my little corner on the internet.

We're back with another video and today we're just going to be doing a quick little reading catch-up.

I'll talk about some things I have been reading recently

and my sort of whoa and my sort of TBR

that I have set up for myself for this new change of seasons

because southern hemisphere year it's getting colder for us and I'm

so excited because it means it's the perfect vibe to read some dark

and twisted literature which is so exciting

but before we get into it it is a new month

which means new book of the month I am very very

excited to share the new book in their offset collection

which I have talked about many many times before

and this month we are looking at worry doll by laura mcphee brown

which i had to read about it and it sounds very enticing

and it seems like the perfect book for the sort of colder more ominous weather

if you don't know what the offset collection is it just

sort of it's a collection from book of the month where they just prioritize more highbrow sort of literature

if you're interested things that have more depth and complexity and aren't necessarily created for commercial appeal,

this is a perfect collection for you.

These books kind of are introspective and nuanced and kind of signal like a sort of non-performative intellect, if you know what I mean.

Their books are usually sort of unsettling and darkly funny

and very sort of outside of what you usually see in mainstream literature, which is exactly what I love.

So for you guys to get a little idea what this

book is about I'm just gonna give you a little read of the blurb.

On an ordinary day two women meet on a train.

Eloise, the older woman, lives with her boyfriend in Melbourne.

Lacey, the other woman, is from Eotora and studies the clouds.

What follows is anything but ordinary, a passionate affair that will consume them both in mismatched and maddening ways.

Propulsive and lyrical, worried doll examines desire memory

and the delusion of love boy do i know something about delusional love oh my god

but anyways i am so excited to get into this book

if you guys are interested in checking out the offset collection you guys can click the link down below

and you can join book of the month

and get a brand new release

or get one of your offset collection books sent right to your door

and you can get your first book for just 9.99 with the link down below thank you

so much book of the month for supporting this video

and this channel in general make sure you guys go check

them out absolutely love them anyways now let's get into the video first i'm just gonna do a sort of quick

catch up of what i have been reading what i've been stuck on reading

and i said before because nothing is funny anymore okay

so i have somewhat recently finished reading we love you bunny by mona awad

which is essentially the prequel slash sequel to bunny the very beloved bunny book which which we all have heard of before.

I was anticipating this book quite a lot and I finally got around to picking it up.

Look, I have it signed.

That's a flex.

But I was really into it at first.

The first few chapters I was loving.

In fact, I tabbed quite a few pages and I have quite a few passages highlighted because I thought it was so,

like it was very funny and clever and it really stuck to the essence of what appealed, like what was so appealing about Bunny in the first place.

And I was really liking it.

I was really obsessed with it it was

so i was in a trance with it i couldn't stop reading it

but then the thing with this book is

that it the way it's structured is

that it takes on the different perspectives of all the bunnies etc

and i suppose when it came around to the perspective discussing the sort of prequel to

when everything happened and it was focusing on the perspective of the male bunnies i was just kind of like, I don't give a fuck.

Okay.

I was just kind of, I was starting to get a bit irritated

and a bit bored in a sense at first I understood

why she wrote it the way she did it was just to kind of flip the coin on itself

and kind of paint them at as these like dumb stupid guys

but I don't know I think the writing style just got

so irritating to me and it made it hard for me to get through it

and I just didn't want to pick it up

that much as I was progressing through this book which is unfortunate but I was still

sort of clinging on to it out of curiosity because I love a cultish vibe.

You know, I love a weird book

and this is definitely sort of very fever dreamish and it's still kind of funny and a bit absurd either way.

But at the end of the day, I didn't find it entirely necessary as a book.

I think it feels like it was just trying to milk the success of Bunny in a way

and I think that book can just exist as a standalone and this is just kind of redundant in my opinion.

I think towards the end of the last couple of chapters and i mean like literally the last maybe two chapters

it sort of redeemed itself

and it felt more satisfactory in you know how she sort of closed off

and kind of concluded that atmosphere and the tone of it all

but a large part of this book i was just kind of like

when are we gonna wrap this up

because i'm i'm done you know what i mean

so i think i gave this just a solid three stars it's nothing monumental i do think

that overall it's still good

and it's still well written i think there are some interesting points

and ideas in there but i think

because of certain parts of it i was getting irritated

and i had developed somewhat of i guess resentment disdain i don't know

which word to use but you know it was okay nothing crazy

but anyways let's just go through what i've been reading

and let's just address the reality of it all you know what i mean

so this is the book

that i'm telling myself i'm going to finished as you can see there's not much on it

because this is actually an early copy

that got sent to me i got an advanced reader's copy

which i am so honored by but this book comes out actually this month

so it comes out 4th of june so it probably has just come out

when this video is coming out but that is make strange by niam campbell

and essentially it follows this couple Lina and Odran

and their daughter Sunny who has begun revealing that she remembers her death

and dying before and it's a really interesting sort of exploration of motherhood relationships

100

and navigating this sort of very weird and distinct

101

and ominous situation with her child and it is quite dark and intense but it's really well written.

102

I think the prose it's easy to read

103

but it also has this very somewhat like intellectual tone to it

104

and it's very reflective and centered in on the sort of complexities of motherhood

105

and especially in the context of the supernatural I suppose

106

so I've really been enjoying this I'm at the very very end of it

107

and I'm excited to finish it off and to see how it concludes

108

but yes I've been reading

109

that check out I do highly recommend this book even though

110

I haven't finished it yet I feel confident in myself to say

111

that I do highly recommend it

112

and you guys should definitely check it out it's a wonderful

113

book next okay these two books these two books have been on my fucking currently reading for the longest time

114

but that's okay

115

because i have an explanation for it as i always do

116

first of all this one's a short story collection los peligros

117

de fumar en la cama by mariana enriquez as we all

118

know i've read the dangers of smoking in bed years ago

119

and i wanted to read it in spanish as well

120

so i have this as just kind of like it's sitting on my bedside table for

121

when I just want a taste of something

122

and I want to practice my Spanish

123

so I just I love Enriquez she's great

124

and then secondly I have an essay collection by Jean-Paul Sartre

125

which is modern times selected non-fiction

126

and again I kind of this serves the sort of same purpose

127

if I just want a dopamine hit

128

or something I feel like that's a good way to put it the same way

129

that we go scrolling and we want that dopamine hit this is

130

that version but literary form so if i just

131

if i don't have much time to sit down

132

and read i suppose i'll pick this up

133

and i'll just read an essay or two

134

and i find him quite interesting oh my gosh do y'all hear

135

that it is noisy outside today but anyways we'll move past it i suppose

136

and then lastly i've also finally been getting into on the genealogy of morals by frederick nietzsche

137

which this was primarily i've been wanting to read this for the sake of I guess interest

138

and research I've been working on some writing stuff more specifically a book

139

which is crazy it's so weird to think about

140

but I love writing morally ambiguous characters

141

and I like writing very character-driven things very reflective of the self

142

and I thought this would be an interesting read to gain some interesting perspective on such topics

143

and I've actually really been liking this I find it very interesting

144

and I've actually gotten a fair bit through it's not a very big book i've been going through

145

that and just taking some little notes and hopefully taking certain ideas

146

and aspects of it to integrate into my writing

147

so that's my currently reading nothing too crazy but now

148

that i'm getting back into the group of reading i want to discuss my selected tbr for the colder seasons

149

because why not this will make me hold myself accountable to start off i'm not going to get into it

150

but every year around this time i reread the secret history

151

so best believe i will be doing that very very soon

152

and anyways next i have been wanting to read this book

153

for the longest time i love this writer as we all know

154

and i'm really hoping to get into the idiots by theodore dostoevsky kind of matches me today

155

but yeah i've been wanting to read this book for the longest time i've heard it's many people's favorites

156

so i'll give a little read and summary of the back

157

so we all have an idea of what we're going into

158

so returning to saint petersburg from a sanatorium the gentle prince

159

mishkin known as the idiot pays a visit to his distant relative general the pension

160

and proceeds to charm the general and his family

161

but his life is done into turmoil

162

when he chances on a photograph of the beautiful nastasia philipovna

163

nastasia utterly infatuated he soon finds himself caught up in a love triangle

164

and drawn into a web of blackmail betrayal

165

and finally murder in prince mishkin dostoevsky portrays the purity of a truly beautiful soul

166

and explores the perils that innocence

167

and goodness face in a corrupt world this sounds amazing every

168

dusty of c book i've read i have been completely consumed by how good his writing really is

169

when people recommend just they ask they're not just doing it to sound annoying

170

or pretentious you know what i mean like they're not doing it

171

and just do it it's actually that good okay trust me

172

but yes i'm really really excited to get into

173

that sure i'm filming anyway these next two are pretty short reads

174

but first one being the crucible by arthur miller

175

and this is actually a play to my knowledge yes

176

but this essentially just follows the mass hysteria that unfolds during the salem witch trials

177

I love a witchy book I love anything that has to do with the occult supernatural hysteria,

178

delirium whatever it may be I love stories like that perhaps

179

because I feel very empathic towards the supernatural and the spiritual realm

180

but yeah I love stories like this and this is a classic

181

and it's very short and I need to read it I've only heard good things

182

and now is the perfect time to get into it And then next, can you see that?

183

The reflection is kind of bad.

184

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

185

This is also a very, very short classic.

186

This edition contains other stories by her as well, but likewise with The Crucible,

187

this, the yellow wallpaper specifically follows a woman's descent into pure hysteria

188

and her being sort of trapped in this room

189

and the yellow wallpaper in the room is her sort of

190

only form of stimulus this sounds very endearing very intriguing almost i feel as though it'll feel relatable hopefully not

191

but i don't know something about going insane within the constraints of four walls i hate to admit it

192

but i kind of get it

193

but yeah i've i love reading sort of dark weird stories about hysteria like this

194

but i'm really really excited to read

195

that i posted about this book on tiktok and

196

so many comments were just telling me like oh the yellow wallpaper is

197

so good you read it in half an hour it's amazing

198

old old i'm gonna read it very very very soon

199

and then lastly this book i don't i haven't seen anyone

200

talk about it anywhere i found it just by chance one day i think in some random post

201

and i have never seen anyone discuss it

202

but the post was about the most fucked up books someone's read

203

and this was in there so i was as you may know i was intrigued

204

so this is gray dog by elliot gish actually fun fact i won this book on a bet playing football

205

so thank you but essentially i'll give you a little read of the back

206

so we can get an idea but apparently it's really dark

207

and really weird and messed up which is so exciting for me

208

but anyways the year is a 1901 and ada bird spencer school mom amateur naturalist accept a teaching post in isolated,

209

lowery bridge, grateful for the chance to re-establish herself where no one knows her secrets.

210

But then Ada begins to witness strange and gristly phenomena, a swarm of dying crickets, a self-mutilating rabbit, a malformed fawn.

211

She soon believes that something old and beastly, which she calls the gray dog, is behind these visceral offerings, which both beckon and repel her.

212

As her confusion deepens, her grip on what is real, what is delusion, and what is traumatic memory loosens.

213

ada takes on the wildness of the woods and begins to wonder

214

which is more dangerous the gray dog the uncontainable power of female rage

215

or ada herself i am

216

so excited to read this this almost gives me similar like a blend between the lamb

217

and lapvona almost there was another book as well oh i'm

218

blanking right now why am i blanking on the book specifically

219

that i'm thinking of right now even books like the hounding

220

and i gave you eyes

221

and you look towards darkness they all sort of encapsulate this sort of vibe in my opinion

222

and i'm just very very keen to get into this

223

and see what this is about because i have seen both from finding

224

that post i've seen people say

225

that they both love this book they thought it was really good

226

and then also found it really disgusting and too much

227

so i'm excited to see how i'll tolerate it you'll find out in a couple weeks time when i

228

make another video but that's my little self-inflicted tbr for the changing seasons i know

229

that there are quite a few of you guys in the northern hemisphere

230

so if you guys are actually interested in some maybe some recommendations a tbr for the changing seasons for

231

when it's getting warmer let me know because i'll film

232

that next week or something and i'll get that sort of sorted

233

but i think in general i just tend to read sort of dark

234

and weird books so it doesn't really matter

235

when the season what season it is but

236

if you guys are interested in that let me know

237

but as you can see i've i've been adopting dark no polish again for the cold seasons but anyways

238

that is the video for today i hope you guys enjoyed

239

i think i needed to do a sort of verbal spew

240

241
