**NEW VIDEO**
"I like big books and I cannot lie"... but is that always true? Do we see big books as being more "valuable" or "impressive" than short books? Do long books ramble on and should we appreciate concision more? Do we read shorter books in order to get through our Goodreads goals? And are longer books more value for money because we get more pages for what we pay? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaTyB...

My first ever reading vlog for The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead is now live on my BookTube channel. Let me know if you like this new style. I personally found it quite fun to film a couple of minutes each day and then put the video together at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVOJf...

Hello everyone! I haven't been on here in a while... anyway, if any of you remember me, I'm back making videos on YouTube now after a bit of time off! A few days ago I uploaded a video talking about my year abroad experience in Spain, I'd love if you could watch and comment, I always love interacting with my subscribers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpQ9i...

ICYMI: I've changed my YouTube channel name from 'ReadingWithJack' to 'Tomes And Travel'. If you want to know more about this, you can watch my update video where I explain more: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&...

Also, I'm about to go through and give my ratings for some of the books I've studied at university this year, in case you wonder why I'm suddenly adding loads of books to my Goodreads.

Reading in preparation for my Francophone Literature module in second year! So far, fascinating. Lots of amazing quotes about the importance of books and education, and intriguing exploration of gender in post-colonial African (Senegalese) society.

Lots of action, drama and uncertainty! A very enjoyable read so far and I'm intrigued to see how it's all going to end.

This is fascinating so far; the idea of 'malfettos' who are marginalised and seen as dangerous within society is something that really intrigues me, and I can't wait to learn more about their fate as I read more. Plus Adelina is an amazing character because she is flawed, and not just mentally, but also physically; she only has one eye. I really appreciate Marie Lu's focus on creating an imperfect protagonist.

Still quite slow and hard to follow; there are flashes of excellence in some of the scenes (chapter 23 (Vashti) was quite Gothic and I enjoyed that), but overall this is no where near as good as Jane Eyre.
