least one book that's on my TBR so that's the goal let's find one that's on on my TBR and then we'll pick some others the man who died twice see they know me Magpie murders okay that's not on my TBR but I think that's the first one in the series yes okay that's the first in the series I want to read Anthony horowits I've been recommended Anthony horo so many times I'm also very interested I've never read Mary Kaba so I'm very interested in reading a Mary Kaba I just want something that's on my TBR wait have I read that have I read the verifiers or have I not read the verifiers I actually don't think I've read it I think I was thinking of the cartographers but the verifiers is on my TBR hold on I haven't read it okay okay I didn't need to score that far I'm going to read the verifiers by Jane pek not the best rating but I own this so this is something I can start today senior thesis on Jane Austin Amat exploring landscape of New York okay this is exciting we're going to read that one we're going to read The Magpie murders because I've been me treed Anthony hor for 10,000 years and then let's just go with the first book that he recommends mayhaps the peacock and the sparrow mystery detective International crime mystery Espionage during the Arab Spring an oh it's like American spy I don't know if that's for me this is not for me no say final mission goes dangerously ay cracking debut Thriller from a former CI CI officer [Music] I was like I'm definitely going to read the first one what is in this what's the spirit of this should I be reading only stuff from this I feel like read okay I'm only going to let myself pick from this screen other than I'm swapping out the sentence death for Magpie murders because that's the second in the series so I can't read that but anony horret is on the first line okay so reading that reading the verifiers and I can pick something else from this initial 10 witches that sounds interesting fiction mystery detective women's s world literature Mexico but a guing story of a young journalist whose investigation of murder leads her to the most legendary hero in all of Mexico one of the most prominent voices of a generation of Latin American Writers pler is dead but before she was murdered traditional healer before she meded oh two parallel narratives don't know about that but this sounds interesting Maybe maybe I'm going to read this there's something about this this is attracting me I'm just not interested in that first one spy Espionage I don't read a lot of that so we're going to read witches we're going to read witches we're going to read mag Pai murders and we're going to read the verifi so I can start the verifiers today so that's the plan I'm very excited I feel like that's a very interesting TBR and to be honest I feel like it got my reading type down to a te I love mysteries it knows me it knows I mean maybe the Sherlock Holmes I wonder if I would have got the same one had I not had I said elyn Hugo instead of Sherlock Holmes but but I mean I haven't read enough Sherlock Holmes to I do love a bit of Sherlock Holmes anyways I'm going to go start reading I'm going to start today with the verifi and I'm very excited to see how I get on with all these books this is a very intriguing [Music] listello hello I'm going insane oh my God I thought this was a classy party it's unrelated to this me and my patrons are talking about whether we think the good re Choice SWS are going to be anounced tomorrow and I'm going a bit insane sorry sorry for bringing that Vibe into this video I um it's the same evening I spoke what this hair this piece of hair has been pissing me off all day it's been getting on my last nerve it's making my hair look greasy I mean I'm going to go wash my hair but my hair is not greasy I hate you you are my worst enemy anyways I it's the same evening I I picked out the books this morning and I'm getting reading baby like I the rest of this year I am so serious about reading like I'm really really serious about it like I'm going to be reading so much and I am just I'm about halfway through the verifiers let's call it halfway it's basically halfway I'm halfway through I'm enjoying this way way way more than I thought I would I want into this with pretty low expectations cuz I've heard not the best things I think I've seen a few people not enjoy it and the good rating is a 3.5 I'm having fun I'm having fun so basically this is very interesting I can't tell whether this is supposed to be a little bit in the future CU basically our girly works for a online dating detective agency so like they're a detective agency to investigate people who are online dating so if you're like online dating someone you don't think they're like legit you can hire these people part of me thinks oh this is like a little bit in the future like in a world where online dating is even more of a thing a little bit dystopian but like could this exist now do does online dating have this much of a strangle hold on the population right now I don't know cuz I've been single for I've been single I hope not I've been not single for almost a decade now I can't imagine God forbid tomight I mean touch word but like if I was ever single and I had to go out there and date it's the wild Rod West I mean this book feels dystopian so if this is not supposed to be dystopian dear God anyways she's working for this agency a client goes missing a a client goes missing so people are coming to her for help and it's also kind of the story of her being a young Chinese American and like her family and she's all so gay and like her personal life and her and this job that she's kind of trying to navigate whether she enjoys or not and the mystery about what's going on with her client who kind of came to her with this investigation I'm really enjoying that the humor of this is definitely reminding me of Finley Donovan I think if you enjoyed Finley Donovan this could be a good one to pick up it's got that same kind of like voicey main character with like a Hu a very dry sensey humor and like some stuff keeps going wrong it just is reminding me a lot of finny Donovan in terms of humor Alain gelly loves like L literary references she loves bit Jane oan she loves Janie she loves Janie and I love anyone who loves Janie like she's quoting Janie the front and center I don't think it's memorable like it's a 3.54 right but I was just not expecting to enjoy it that much nothing about it is upsetting me nothing about it is making me go you know what I mean nothing is making nothing is making me upset like it's it's good it's fine I'm having a good time is it like [ __ ] book a prize nominated which apparently is tomorrow as well big day tomorrow no it's not but I'm enjoying it I don't know if I should sound so surprised the mystery perhaps I'm it's not a strong hook right so like we're investigating this mystery but we almost don't know what we're investigating we just know something's dodgy and we're trying to find out what is dodgy rather than having like a mystery to solve you know and that's perhaps a little bit weak but I think it's a quick fun read I think it's a quick fun read I'm having fun I'm now going to go have a bath and then I'm going to watch Goodreads Choice Awards predictions the rest of the evening whilst playing something on my switch that's my plan I'm watching everyone's predictions tonight because it looks like it might be tomorrow this is Christmas Eve we're all just talking in a Discord about how it's Christmas Eve it's literally Christmas Eve that's what's Christmas is about is it yeah so I'm going to go do that I may read a little bit more of this tonight but yeah I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying this and I'm glad actually we've done this with ones before I think for the subscriber episode We've Ended up with one book that was on my TBR one book that I've heard of and I've wanted to read but don't own and one book I've never heard of which I think is a really good mix and I'm glad that this video is getting me to read this book because this has been on my TBR since March 2022 dear God so anyways I'll see you hopefully tomorrow finishing this I'm like blitzing through it I'm like I think in the first 10 days of November I finished seven books I'm just blitzing Hello friends how are we all doing I have finished the verifiers this one's a tricky one because I don't think this deserves the rating it has which is like a 3.5 but I giving this a 3.5 um that doesn't make no sense here thing if a good if a book has that low rating that usually means you'd expect to give it a lower rating because people in goodreid tend to rate more generously than perhaps some of the rest of us do I think this is a great mystery I think it's a great debut I think well the initial part is a great mystery I think all the things I loved about it before that I was mentioning like the character the you know family representation in it I really enjoyed but the ending I found a bit antiac it was kind of like I felt like I missed a puzzle piece somewhere it's not it's it's espousing to be a mystery it's espousing to love detective stories and to be obsessed with detective stories and she keeps imagining herself as a detective it's not fair play because minor spoilers for this a character who plays a big role I'll just say that in the reveal is a character we barely know until we know that they play a role in the reveal do you understand what I'm saying so I find that annoying and uh I I kind of was like who is this person why do we care about them oh they did that oh oh so for that reason 3.5 otherwise it would be like a very very strong four I just didn't like the ending this is one I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with the series or not if I'm completely honest with you it's one of those where a couple years ago I would absolutely continued with the series there's probably series like where I've read the first book on my TBR where I enjoyed the first book less than I enjoyed this but I've just become pickier with what I continue and what series I continue so I'm unsure it's not out yet the sequel is out in December so I might see some early reviews come in for that it's nice I enjoyed it but I'm not going particularly remember it there was a lot about this I think is good I think the setting in New York is very Vivid I think the matchmaking being at the center of this mystery is a very interesting phenomenon and it kind of takes it in a very interesting way in the second half I just yeah I think the second half was a little bit weaker than the first half so I'm now going to start Magpie murders which I'm so excited about but also quite nervous about I believe the first like this amount is a book like it's a book book within a book from like the 1950s and then this is mostly like present day with an editor like it's a book within a book but it's not back and forth like it is the book and then it's the present day yeah I'll have to think about that one for sure which I'm a little bit terrified about I think that's a very um strange and interesting idea for a book I don't really know what to expect but I'm going to start it tonight I've heard you know wonderful things about it so we'll see how it goes I just want to give a shout out to my patrons and let you guys know about so exting features that they've just added so they have added basically a gifting feature both for other people and for me so essentially you can gift or be gifted membership to my Patron so coming up to the holiday season this might be I don't know if you've always wanted to join and see and test out you could ask for like a month or a couple months as a gift remind of my the price of my Tears in pounds my lowest tear is £3 a month my mid- tier is £750 a month and my top tier is £15 a month so you could ask for like I don't know 10 months of Team moo for30 as a gift from someone I don't know I'm just spitballing here but yeah they've added that feature and I can also gift so as a little I want to test out the feature I thought that I'd have a link in the description and the first 15 of you I'm only doing a little one this time we're testing out the first 15 people to check the link will get one month free of Team Lux I think I hate them all what a good deal which is my mid tier which has the book club in it you know access all my my reading SPS on my live shows on the Discord your name will get put my videos all that kind of thing and yeah I just want to test this feature out and see how it works but I think it's really exciting you can gift it to people the one thing I've actually contacted Patron support about this today I know some of my patrons cuz they love each other I want to gift each other months of memberships and it isn't currently a feature but Patron have let me know I've been speak them today that they they will take that into account and we'll think about adding that but yeah 15 of you who check the link down below if you've ever thought about joining my patreon you can come try it out for a month and see what you think and then you don't have to continue but if you want to you can stick around I I've been thinking lately and I really think that my patreon and the community there is maybe the thing I'm proudest of I'm being deadly serious like the friendships real life friendships that have been made there the Discord is really Beyond me now like it's taken on life of its own and so many of my patrons have poured so much into it and it's become such a special community so you know I know that it's been a really special place for a lot of people and if you're looking for a sense of community a sense of bookish community maybe give us a go and come join us um and you know I'm really proud of all the content it's a it's a huge part of my job the content I make on there I feel like you only see basically half of what I do here on YouTube and I just have so much fun doing reading Sprints them every week I did my Goodreads reaction with them this week like they I spent a lot of time with them this this week and they are just special they're a very special group of people and the community that I've created there I'm very proud of so 15 of you could come join us your link down below otherwise you could always join us now anyways or you could ask for a gift for holiday season or birthday or a friend if they owe you money give me a membership to make patreon no I'm joking I think it's a very cool feature that they finally added they've been teasing me with it for ages but anyways I going to go start me Pie Murder and I'll see you once I'm a little bit way too I probably will wait to get halfway because it's going to be a very strange reading experience I really don't know honestly it's like a book of two halves they've got different fonts and I I don't know what to [Music] expect good evening Beauties I am a little bit over the halfway through Magpie murders I finished the book section within the book before we get into the book I'm nding like I understand but I'm not so sure I do I finished the novel section um which takes me I think it was like about 275 pages so a little bit over halfway and I thought it made sense to kind of finish that section and book in that section before getting into the rest of it this is a very interesting read experience I'm not really sure what to make of it yet so essentially you need to know is that novel part is a classic quintessential Christy almost like a little quaint English town and murders occur and a detective comes in who's very aupar coded and he's got a kind of dumb assistant and they are investigating what happened and we're really meeting quite a large Cass of characters in this one around the village and we're going to getting little short snapshots with each of them and there's different deaths that occur as well as death in history there's modern day deaths and we're kind of unpacking that all I don't want to say too much this is an interesting reading experience because you're not just reading it as a book right cuz it kind of feel like a length that's like a Cristy length that I've just read right you're not just reading as a book you're reading it knowing it will have it will mean something something more you're not just trying to solve the murders in the book itself but you're trying to figure out you have no incling I have no ining this point what the rest of this book is going to be about and how you know it says like the you know in hidden in the page of the manuscript lies Another Story a tale written between the very words on the page telling of real life jealousy greed ruthless ambition and meta and like you're reading it trying to figure that stuff out but really you have no way of telling so that is one thing I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about this until the end and I do feel like that different read experience I'm perhaps not not as invested but your belief because it's a book within a book your belief is kind of suspended and I think I prefer books than books when they're dispersed but that's like one chunk that we just got with that one thing I doly want to say I I remember when I did my book two twin test Mara almost recommended me this but said there's some dodgy stuff about anony horror WIS which I've never heard of and I've I've Googled it and it's um from what I can see I mean some of it's spoilery so I didn't want to read it cuz I do want to perhaps read some of his other books but like maybe a suspicious amount of gay villains or also gay people who were murdered and some you know some of his gay characters who are villainous or bad like it's okay in isolation because that's a bad character but when it's a pattern that's an issue and he also said once that like a editor in public to him he couldn't write black characters because it would be disingenuous but then people are calling him out saying you're just saying that because you're too afraid or don't want to write black Char take the time and the care to write black characters that's what I could find and that he said he's conservative yeah so that's what I could find so it's not like something with some authors where you're it's like a big event or like I mean we all know who I'm talking about where it's like okay I'm definitely going to read their stuff it's kind of I don't know stuff that's a bit more subtle than that and I don't know I don't know I don't really know what I make of it um but the reason I'm bringing it up is because I don't know if I'm reading into it but I I do feel like this book is trying to do something very similar or this this part of the book which try do something very similar to the Thursday Murder Club where it really tries to shine a light on Humanity but the Thursday Murder Club does that with empathy and wanting to celebrate the differences in us but also wanting to recognize how we're all together and all one you know we're all in this together this really with empathy I think and with a positive outlook on human nature and I feel like this is doing the same thing but with a negative outlook on human nature so I'm just bringing that up because I feel like that's we've got conservative written all over it it's got Tory written all over it for me you know I I I I've been debating with her talking about the US election and stuff and I'm I'm very politically engaged but so I feel like I want to talk about it but I also want this to be a place that people can kind of come for distraction and happiness and joy but there's something that I find when I think of right-wing people or in all honesty whether that be conservatives in the UK or Republicans I just feel like they lack empathy for the for another person for any other person on the street that's not them everything is selfish everything is self- serving and there's no empathy there's no kindness there's no care for your fellow person you know and here but that's just kind of how it feels but also there's the other complication that this novel is being written by another character right who we haven't even met yet so I don't know what the and I might be reading into things but I don't know what the character is going to be like who's written this backook I don't know I don't think I'm going to know what I think of this and until the second half until I read the rest of this book so I'm going to go get through as much of it as I can now it's very very interesting reading experience and I'm enjoying the mess of it but it's kind of I feel like it might be a bit jarring having it one chunk and then the other you know I don't know we shall see but yeah hopefully I'll see you tomorrow having finished this because I am reading it quite quickly at least I think there may be something wrong with me I think there may be something wrong with me I have finished Magie murders by Anthony horrores d I know DA's like hiding her face that's how I [Music] feel I'm just going to shut down and I don't want to talk about it I'm giving this a 3.5 I know Mara loved this I know so many other murder mystery fans love this I just had some issues with it my main issue with this well two twofold it's too long and splitting up of the fictional and the nonfictional I mean it's all fictional but you know what I mean like the book within a book and the book didn't work for me it's firstly it's too long and the too long gets into the book within a book but let me just say I had to force myself through the last 100 pages of this I was just [ __ ] wading through mud and treal I really did not find you know with a murder mystery you going to be being propelled towards the ending and I was in fact resisting meeting the ending of this and really it's very similar thing to split timeline where you're following two separate stories and in this the gimmick is that they match up and they give Clues to one another and I'm not sure that the ending satisfactory tied the book within the book and the book together in a way that makes me feel like what I just experienced was worth it I don't like the music I'm entitled to my opinion I have too many characters to care about I have too many plot lines to care about I don't think it actually minor spoilers but I don't I'm not satisfied the whole thing is like oh it tells a secret tale of this that and the other but I was expecting a bigger twist to do with them intertwining at end I don't feel like we got I don't think the ending of the book within a book is satisfactory cuz basically you read the whole of it but you don't have the last like two chapters right and then you get that at the end and yeah that really pisses me off but here's the thing I love a lot of what this is about I love you know the self- referential to The Meta mystery genre I love the the kind of Clues and the way that different scenes play out I do have to say yeah there something you know when you just read like when I'm reading th medic cup I hate to compare it to that but like I to my point what I was talking about in the last clip when I meaning that it completely jibes with my point of view on the world right on humanity and there's just points in this that don't like little points to do with but there is a gay character in the second half of this and like the attitudes around that attitudes towards women at points or just like certain I don't want support think but certain situations the commentary it makes on that I'm just like huh H I don't know I I didn't love it I didn't love it I feel like if there was any book in the world set up for me to love it should be this right I should love this I also just think I'm I'm becoming so picky with murder mysteries I have not given a murder mystery a five star this year the closest I've come is night film with a 4.5 and I think I've given two te Kinsey lady Hard Castle books I've read a 4.5 but like I [ __ ] love those books I am just so picky with lot of mysteries now they're my favorite thing but I'm so so picky with them I enjoyed how to solve your murder gave at four stars I gave Miss Austin investigates four stars so there's been ones I've enjoyed this one is like disappointing cuz I expected it to go a level above I I have been looking for a murder mystery that has a metalness that has a cut above your average murder mystery and I thought this was going to be it I thought this was going to be Five Star Plus but I really really struggled I don't if it was a writing style but I found it such a SLO because of that split timelin I don't think it came together in a satisfactory way for me I just should love this the the in in inside of the publishing genre she's an editor she's a book editor I should love all of this but I just found it disappointing but here's the thing both this and the verifiers I'm unsure with I whether continue on in the series I'm you can guys can tell I need your opinions I'm not sure whether to add them to my series spreadsheet or not with Anthony horrorwitz I'm leaning see I've heard such good things about moonflower murders which is the second one in this and I don't know to what extent my biggest problem with this was the book and then another book basically half and half if that's the same in that one so if you've read it please let me know I'm tempted though to not continue with the series and to pick up some of his other murder mysteries there's a hor hathorn and horrorwitz which has like the the one that was recommended to us in the top 10 the a sentence I don't know close to death is the release this year I'm tempted to just pick that up and the verifiers I'm not I'm again I'm half and half like to continue both of these series would be an overestimate of my enjoyment of these series but I feel like to not continue either would be an underestimate of my enjoyment of these two books but I'm not sure if there's one I want to continue over the other does that make sense so I don't know I now this evening am going to read as much of witches as I can so we're going to see how much of this I can read tonight I want to hopefully get at least halfway this is a book opposite to this I have no preconceived notions going into this I barely even know what it's about I vaguely read the synopsis when I picked it out but I'm excited for that I'm excited to go into book with little to no expectations so I'll check on you when I'm halfway this I believe is translated as well which is really really fun translated from Spanish so we'll see we'll see what we think of this one but um I'm just going to Cozy up with daa now and get it read and I just can't go how disappointed I am by this one maybe I'm the problem maybe I'm the [Music] problem okay right I just want to preface this by saying I would not be saying what I'm about to say if I hadn't been worn down by me pie murders okay I can't read this I'm so sorry I'm really sorry I'm dnfing it I only I got about 50 pages in so like with this book that is like 20% of the book I read 20% of the book at this point I'm reading words on a page why are the pages so filled with so many words like what the [ __ ] I'm so I feel terrible about this I really thought I you know I hate it's a translated work it's a diverse Au I don't want to be I don't want to be deing it but I can't do it I can't do it I did not know until 30 pages in that we were alternating perspective with chapter I was getting so confused because one of them was talking about having one son and then one was talking about having three kids and I'm like what is going on like what is happening turns out there were two characters who we were fting perspective between one of which I was the perspective I thought one of which I wouldn't have known that that was whose perspective we were following had I not looked up a good R of you I'm so sorry essentially a woman called palom is killed and her cousin feliciana goes to a journalist called Zoe to talk about the story we're following Zoe and feliciana's perspectives and from the reviews this covers a lot of really really important topics be that femicide be that colonialism be that abuse to women etc etc the problem with this it's stream of Consciousness I don't think I really get on with stream of Consciousness writing you will have a page long paragraph and you will have like half of that page be one sentence or sometimes longer it is runon sentences so this is all one sentence this is like this was my final straw cuz I didn't care about these worms that's how the worms chewed and you think how could something small as a baby's finger make as much noise as a soldier sorry my S is are bad in on fallen leaves but there they were chewing away those down baby fingers and their Racket and when the worms got to be a good size we separated them from the little ones they didn't eat each other because that's how life is that's how we all are even the worms are like people if you leave three men alone with a machete they'll find a way to kill one another and you'll never know how all three manag to die by the same machete and that's how worms are just like people if you leave them alone they'll kill each other and you'll never know how the one who killed the other two died worms and people both like to go at their kind with machetes that's all one sentence now I don't want to appear insensitive I don't know if this kind of Storytelling is common or is a reference to kind of traditional storytelling in Mexico but I just did not get one with it and I think I could have gone with it had I had the audio book I tried guys I tried I tried my darest to get my clammy little PS on an audio book VPN were used I was scaring the internet for a place I could get an audio book for like under $20 for a book I wasn't even enjoying I couldn't do it I am dnfing it I'm so sorry I hate doing that I hate ding it especially on a video where the rating matters because we're going to talk about that in a second I think this could be for other people I you know it's not for me but I think it could be for other people this is not me dunking on it but I had a real issue with the right I was just reading words on a page I was not caring or taking in the story at all so yeah I I feel really bad about it but it was just not it was just not for me the fact is that we were alternating we were like six chapters in we've been alternating chapters and I did not know that these were different perspectives just put a name at the at the top please and there was no differentiation between the perspectives there was no different style of writing and that really grinds my gears in any book when we have multiple specters and there's not a distinct voice for each of the characters like you need to write differently these women come from very different backgrounds in this book and so you need to write them differently in my opinion um but obviously this is translated so I don't know where my issues lie between the original text and then the translator and what they did with the book but yes now we have DNS left one book before in year of Rex and we meant that that had to be classed as a zero for the rating determination which I really bad about guys this isn't a zero but this is just okay listen this could be for the people I wanted to love it I got drawn in by the title of witches okay with the book that ID dnf it was like The Seven Habits of Highly affected people I had no quals about giving that zero I do have qualms about this being class of zero but what can you do so that does mean and I'm just going to say this quickly the average rating and the score for the book Infinity readers type episode is 2.16 okay wish I say that quickly 2.16 2.16 I just couldn't do it guys I just could do it I'm so sorry I very rarely DF but I would have just been spending my time reading words on a page and not taking in the story I think if I had got my hands in the audiobook I could have enjoyed it because I need with this kind of stream of Consciousness I think I needed to hear someone saying it to me right otherwise I was just getting lost in what was happening but anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this video not the best not the best episode I really thought this was going to be successful cuz it got my reader type down it got my reader type down but uh mixed results mixed results with the books that we read but let me know if you've read any of these let me know if you want to take I'll put the link to the um reader type quiz down below let me know if you take it what your reader type is I was what I was uh I can't remember dragon slayer was my my one of my cusp ones I can't remember but anyways let me know and I will see you very soon in another video bye [Music]
