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

Hello and welcome back.

Sooner than you may have expected.

It was a little surprise.

But because we're at the start of March, it's a new month.

I just wanted to make a video about my March reading, my sort of plans,

or at least I'm trying to like solidify myself into a general reading direction

because i feel like my reading has been all over the place

and i am just i need to lock in you know what i mean

so that's what we're doing today that's what we're talking about

today i'd say it's a humble stack ish we'll see and

because it is a new month we all know what

that means it means a new book of the month package i it's my favorite time of the month

when my little blue box comes it's It's like Christmas every month for me.

It's just so thank you so much book of the month for supporting today's video.

So every month you get to select a brand new hardcover book from a very meticulously selected range of novels.

Created specifically by the book of the month team and they ship it straight to your door.

And I just I love book of the month just

because they tend to focus on supporting new and upcoming authors

and putting out quality books and it's just it's a nice thing to have

and this month my two picks are i chose two books

this time why not my first pick was kin by tayari jones this first of all gorgeous gorgeous cover

and to give you a little sneak peek as to what this book is about it follows avernus

and annie two motherless daughters raised in honeysuckle louisiana

and they've been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood but are fated to live starkly different lives.

Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother's death, Bernice leaves honeysuckle for college at Atlanta where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected black women

and discovers a world of affluence, manners, aspiration, and inequality.

Annie, abandoned by her mother as a child and fixated on the idea of finding her,

sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity as well as love and adventure, culminating in a battle for her life.

I love reading about books of, I guess, self-discovery, identity, growing in the wake of grieving and loss and,

you know, trying to overcome these hurdles of life.

This sounds like a beautiful, beautiful book and I'm very, very excited.

And my other selection for the month, which I'm extremely excited for as well, is Almost Life by Kieran Millwood Hargrave.

Also So, an amazing book.

And for you to get a little understanding and a little sneak peek as to what this book is about,

it follows Erica and laura who meet on the steps in a sacre corps i don't know

if i'm saying

that right in paris 1978 erica is relishing her first summer

abroad before beginning university at home in england laura is studying for her doctorate drinking

and smoking far too much and sleeping with a married woman the moment

that you the moment the two women meet the spark is

undeniable their encounter becomes far more than a passing summer fling evolving into a relationship

that will define their lives in the decades to come erica

and laura will constantly be pulled into each other's orbit they will experience heart wrenching losses

and dreams realized and crushed and other great loves

and heartbreaks each time they meet they will be faced with the same choice their love

or another life sounds perfect to me it really focuses on

the sort of power of love how there are certain people in our lives that just

no matter what happens they kind of come in

and out of your life throughout your life

and you have to just kind of question you know what

is the significance what does it mean to choose a certain someone it just seems

so endearing and i'm very very excited especially

because it's set in like hello i love books

that are set in like diverse countries like

so those are my two book of the month picks

so you can join today

and you can use my code lucky to get your first

book of the month book for just $9.99 along with free gift

and you can click the link down below and thank you

so much book of the month again for supporting today's video I'm gonna take my hat off

because I'm gonna start sweating anyways along with those two

that I really do want to get into very soon I have a currently reading stack

that I've been jumping between these three books for a hot second

because I've just been in different moods every time and

so hopefully I will finish these within the next week or

so i would say these three books being final exam by julio cortazar

which i have mentioned i think these three books before in past videos

but this follows a couple students preparing for their final exam set in argentina

and then there's this mysterious fog that falls over the city

and it kind of follows all these students kind of going

about life preparing for their final exam along with this mysterious mysterious character called abel

and they're They're having these very interesting conversations about life, writing, poetry, alongside this fog that's kind of plaguing the sort of atmosphere that they're living in.

And it just provides really, it's been really interesting reading about how kind of on the brink everything feels.

And it kind of feels like an academia book.

I'm not going to lie.

If you enjoy Dark Academia, I feel like that's a good, good book to get into.

The prose is really amazing.

And it feels very dreamlike.

It's very rhythmic at times, especially with the structure of the writing itself.

I'm really, really enjoying that book.

And I'm probably going to finish it within the next couple of days because I don't have much left.

My other one is Zami, A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde.

I've been reading this for a bit as well i'm taking my time with it

because it is very i guess stagnant there's not like very epic

or anything it's more it is a biomythography biomethography where it

is almost like a fictionalized biography of audrey lord's life

and experience as a black woman and it's been

so beautiful her writing is just it's perfect it's

so easy to read but it's also there's this sort of elevated sense to it

and i'm really really enjoying it

and just reading about her specific experience has been very like eye-opening

because you know i will never be able to experience anything

that she's experienced to that extent so i've been enjoying

that one and then also lastly also finishing this one up

which is The Exes by Leodora Darlington

which is it's more of a thriller type of book I don't typically read this genre

but it's been really really entertaining it kind of bounces between

timelines of this woman's life of her experiences with her exes

100

and what she's done to them

101

and upon getting into this new relationship with this guy at this big company

102

that she works for at this brewery company she's kind of brought back to reflect on

103

and fight back on these like inner demons that she's dealt with

104

because of her past relationships and what she's done to these people

105

and some points i'm reading this book

106

and i'm like oh oh you you did that okay okay

107

but it's really really entertaining it's kind of crazy

108

but it's really fun and i'm really enjoying that one

109

so i'll probably finish that one also very soon

110

and then for my last two picks

111

that i really want to get to this month that I've been eyeing for the longest time.

112

And because, if you can see, my shelves have a very interesting structure to them.

113

And there's this one section where I've read every single book on there except for this one book, and that is Common Decency by Susanna Dickey.

114

I've had this book on my shelf for the longest time, and I need to get to it.

115

And I just thought, I'm going to finish off this section of my bookshelf and read all of it.

116

In an apartment building in Belfast, two women wrestle with the sorrows and specters of love and loss.

117

since her mother's death lily has withdrawn from the world trapped between grief

118

and anger she has to break out of this damaging cycle

119

but how upstairs ban is consumed by an affair with a

120

married man her days revolve around the sporadic texan rave rare

121

visits she barely notices the strange girl who lives below

122

and dawdles in the foyer

123

but lily is keeping a close eye on her neighbor whose life seems

124

so much better and more fulfilling than her own when resentment revolves evolves into something darker and more urgent, she decides to teach Subban a lesson.

125

It seems very very endearing and I find

126

that this whole idea of how you perceive someone else's life based off of just simply what you see

127

and what you assume for someone is so interesting and again alongside with obsession and kind of going a bit crazy probably.

128

I don't know.

129

It seems really interesting.

130

Set in Belfast, which I don't think I've read anything set in Belfast before.

131

So I'm excited to get into that.

132

And I feel like books in that genre that explores these themes of, I guess, intense anger, obsession, and somewhat darkness

133

and violence is just really nice for the transition period of going from summer into autumn

134

which is what is happening right now even though it's still pretty hot outside we're technically in autumn over here

135

so i'm slowly trying to transition the vibe of my books into

136

that to suit the weather and because of

137

that i'm going to finish off by saying

138

that i need to get back into brutes by dis tate i had started reading this ages ago

139

and then i forgot it at my friend's house

140

and i completely forgot and i just decided before it gets cold

141

and it's not the vibes anymore i want to try again

142

and read this book it's not very long at all i can probably finish it very soon

143

so i'm really excited to get to this because i've seen

144

so many good things about this book this follows a group

145

of teenagers who peer out at their scorched swampy fame hungry

146

town taking turns with the binoculars their gaze sweeps across the highway

147

and the abandoned construction site to the lake figures drift across

148

the landscape mothers fathers a preacher's daughter these girls know everything about everyone

149

perhaps too much so i've seen a lot of people say

150

that this book kind of gives preacher's daughter by ethel kane

151

which i freaking love that album so i'm really excited to get into

152

that and i think having

153

that sort of religious undertone to it really asks this sort of country gothic vibe that's going on

154

and I really really enjoy sort of observatory books like books

155

that kind of focus on storytelling through observation

156

and I think also having it be from this sort of teenage perspective is always really fun

157

because there is that certain level of youth and naivete

158

that feels very nostalgic and it makes it just makes it for a more interesting book I think sometimes but yes

159

that that's my march tbr those are my hopeful plans it's kind it's somewhat humble in my opinion

160

but we will see how we go i also don't like to pressure myself too much

161

because i know that life can get too much sometimes

162

and i just can't get to it

163

but that's okay i hope you guys enjoyed me yapping away about the books

164

that i want to read

165

if you guys have read any of these books let me know what you think i love to hear thoughts

166

and opinions but yeah you guys should also go ahead

167

and follow me on instagram at longing for literature

168

because i've been posting way more often on there really just trying to like chill out more

169

and just review more stay more in touch you know what i mean

170

and again thank you so much for book of the month for supporting today's video

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
