WEBVTT - Caelynn’s Corner: Booked and Busy

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.160
<v Speaker 1>This is Suckers.

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm Kailan Bell, I'm Dean Bell, and I'm Jared.

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Habn An iHeartRadio podcast. Hello everyone, Welcome to an all

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>new episode of Suckers Kaylan's Corner. This week, we're doing

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>things a little bit differently, and by we, I mean

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>me because Dean is not joined by my side today.

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to talk about books this week, and I

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>hope you don't tune away because I talked about this

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>last week how I kind of struggle talking about pop culture.

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I love pop culture.

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I could definitely chat about it, but sometimes it just

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>feels like I'm talking crap and I don't love that.

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 2>My soul doesn't love that.

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>And I mentioned that I would love to talk about

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>books and I could talk about them for hours and

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>hours and hours, And as many of you know, I

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>am trying to read fifty books this year. I'm currently

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>on book ten. I just finished my ninth this morning,

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and in my DMS this week after this podcast. After

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>that podcast came out, a few of you said you

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>would be super interested in that, So let's try it out.

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I hope you enjoy this. Let me know, give me

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>some feedback.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking it would be hard to talk about

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>books weekly, but if we did, like a monthly book club.

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I do think that could be pretty fun.

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Like we all read the same book, come together at

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the end of the month and chat about it.

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>So let me know your thoughts.

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I am currently in a lengthy series, but I could

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely pivot because I don't think any of you want

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to start Thrown of Glass book four, but maybe The Nightingale.

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm open to any suggestions. If you hate the idea,

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>we don't have to do it, but let me know

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts, because I do think it could be fun.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And I have loved chatting with you all in my

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>DMS about books, like just getting your thoughts and bantering

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>back and forth.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>It's so fun. So I think that could.

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Be a better way and a bigger outlet to do

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that and chat more deeply.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>So let me know.

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But we're going to try it out this week, and

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to kind of go through the books

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I've read so far this year and my favorite books

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>in general. Last year, I think I read like three books,

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy because right now I'm on book ten.

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>My favorite book I read last year was The Seven

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Husbands of Evely and Hugo.

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>It's such an easy read. It's such a good read.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>It's about old Hollywood glamour, and it's really a really

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>great story. If you haven't read that, I would suggest

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.239
<v Speaker 1>reading that. I think that's a good way to get

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>back into reading. I think the best way to get

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>back into reading. If you're like in a rut, you

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.119
<v Speaker 1>haven't read in a while, you gotta read Fourth Wing.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>It is the best book ever. Maybe not ever. I

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's hard to say that, but it is

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>so good. I am so obsessed with this book. I

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>have never been so in love with the book. And

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the hangover that comes after it's brutal, but this book

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like I heard someone describe it once

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>and it was the perfect description, and I'll probably butcher it.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like Game of Thrones. It's Harry Potter meets How

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to Train Your Dragon essentially, And if you love all

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>those things, you are going to love this book.

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>If you love a strong.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Female lead, you're going to love this book mentally, even

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>physically eventually.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>It's so good.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>If you love smut, You've got plenty of smut in

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>this book. First and second book. It's so good. And

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the thing I love about this book. Typically you're like

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>getting all the background in a book, it takes you

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple chapters to finally get into it. I think

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it was like three sentences in I was hooked. And

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>what sucks is I'm still counting this on my twenty

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty four books because I started it December, let's say

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh, and I finished it in January, so I'm

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>going to count it. But I started it right before

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>we moved, and so I'm supposed to be packing. I've

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>got so much to do, and all I could do

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>was think about this book. And I took so many

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>book breaks reading breaks. I just could not put it down,

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>could not stop thinking about it. It was in my dreams.

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I was dreaming about dragons. It's phenomenal. And I've been

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>telling everyone I know, you have to read this book

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and you will fly through it. I told my best friend.

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>She read it in three days, then she read the

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>second book in like two days, and then she reread them,

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>so now she's read them twice. I have read them

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>twice as well, because I love them so much. I

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>haven't counted them towards my fifty books because I did

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the audible version. So I read them the first time,

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and then when I was driving out to Colorado during

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the move, I listened to them. And I don't really

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>consider audible reading. I think a lot of people do.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't, so I haven't counted it. So technically I

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>am on my If I did, i'd be on my

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>eleventh book, twelfth book. But I mean that just goes

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to show how much I love it twice. I've never

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>read a book twice. I don't think, yeah never. So

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>they are so so good, and they are being made

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>into the series is being made into a TV show.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be five books total. I believe, yeah,

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>it should be five books total. And then Michael B.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Jordan and Amazon purchased the rights to the show, so

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>they are casting right now for the show, and I

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>think this is going to be hopefully, if they do

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>it right, this could be like on Game of Thrones level.

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>It is just so good and I can't wait to

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 1>see who they cast. The thing that's challenging too, is

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>these people, the way they're described. They are the most beautiful,

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the hottest, most ripped people you've ever seen in your life.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know who the heck, they're going to

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>cast because in my mind, I'm like, nobody looks like that, truly.

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>They are just this couple in this like everyone from

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the college really is just perfect. But it is if

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you're in a rut, if you want to get back

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>into reading, I do think this is the best way,

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>because here's what this book does to you. You read

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Fourth Wing, you read Iron Flame. Rebecca Yaros has not

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>said when the third book is coming out, which I'm

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>so frustrated by. But this one did just come out

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>like three months ago, so it's going to be a while.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>You read those two books, and you are going to

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>be in such a book hangover. You're going to want

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to get this book out of your mind, but you

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>won't be able to. No book can compare. I give

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Fourth Wing five stars. I think it's that good. And

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>so what I've been doing and why I have been

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>reading so much is because all I want is to

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>forget about Fourth Wing, and nothing is making me forget

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>about Fourth Wing. But I am reading good books in

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the process too, So that's I mean, I really do

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>think that's the best way, because then you're like deep

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>in a book hangover, desperate to get out and all

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you can do is keep reading. It's a great cycle

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm in currently. So after that, I was suggested

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to read A Court of Thorns and Roses that is

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a five book series. Flew through that one. My issue

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>with it, and people love this series. They speak so

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>highly of it, and I think it gets too much

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>preyse Honestly, I compare it to when people say they

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>love a TV show and they're like, just get through

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the first season, just get through the first two seasons

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, and then it gets good, Like, well,

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>is it really that good of a show if this

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>show is only like three or four seasons and you're

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>telling me to get through a few seats, Like, I

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't know if it's a good show.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how I feel about this book. The first book

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>was so hard to get into. It took me so

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>long to read, and finally towards the end I was like, Okay,

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe I don't know. I still have some issues with it.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Second book it took me until halfway through where I

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, Okay, now I'm into it. Third book I liked.

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Fourth book, which I call a novella, was terrible and

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because reading those books and there's so much

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>action and so much going on, and I was like,

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I just want them to be happy. I just want

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to read about them being happy and living peacefully. And

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what Sarah Moss, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, gave

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>us with the fourth book, the novella, and I hated it.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no, I need action. So then the

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>fifth book came around, could not get into it. It

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't until like page three hundred and fifty that I

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>was finally like, Okay, now I like this.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>So is it really a good series?

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>If I technically only liked two books, I don't know,

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like two halves of a book and one full book,

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't know. But it gave me a lot

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of background for a book that I'm loving now, which

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>is Throne of Glass. And people as much as they

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>rave about Aqatar, now people are coming and dming me

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and saying no, Throne of Glass is the best series,

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>which I'm so excited about because this is an eight

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>book series and I have been flying through these books.

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I read the first one in three days, read the

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>second one in three days, just finished it this morning.

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm on the third book, and there's so I

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>think why people don't love it as much some people

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>is because there's not a lot of smut. Fourth Wing

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Iron Flame lots of smut, a Gatar whole thing, lots

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of smut.

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>This one.

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm on book three and no smut so far, and

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not missing it. For me, I like action, and

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that's the hard thing. I didn't go to bed until

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>like one am last night because I was like in

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the thick of the book, thick of the action, and

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I just couldn't put it down. And that's also the

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>problem with Fourth Wing is that it just doesn't let up.

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 1>It's constant action, and you're like, how am I supposed

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to stop reading? Because it's constantly action, Like there's no break,

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.959
<v Speaker 1>there's no pause, there's no little lull.

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 2>But I love it also for that reason.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>So Throne of Glass is phenomenal. And so I've gone

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>down this deep rabbit hole with Sarah Mas's series and

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't stop. So I'm in this eight book series

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and then she has one more three series book. This

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>is all in the same world, if you will. So

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>after that, after my eight books that I have left

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>in this world, I'm going to pivot back to the

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>real world because it's been a lot of dragons and

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.199
<v Speaker 1>magic and I need a break. I think after this,

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>especially after eating more books of it, I'm definitely going

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>to need a break. And I think Nightingale I was

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>told I need to add that to like top top

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>top of my list. So you know, if you're interested

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>in doing a book club, let me know you want

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.599
<v Speaker 1>to read Nightingale if you already have. I feel like

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a book a lot of people have read. So

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>if you have any suggestions you want to do a

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Suckers book club, I think it would be really fun.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of talking about books, I don't want

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to give anything away, So if you haven't read the books,

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do my best not to spoil it

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>for you, especially Fourth Wing, but I do also want

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to discuss it with you, so I'm a little conflicted.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>But I do think most of you have read Fourth

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Wing from what we've chatted about in my.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>DMS, and.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I so now that I've read it twice, there are

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>so many clues in ways that the things were given away,

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>like okay, so I am going to spoil it if

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you haven't read it, Zayden turning into a venin. I

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know that that was necessarily alluded to. And I

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys are on TikTok and reading

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>all the theories, but I'm gonna give you a couple

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 1>theories that I think have some merit to it. Someone

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>said that she thinks, you know, this goddess is mentioned

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>so many times, the goddess of war. Maybe they think

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that that could be Zaiden's mother, And people obviously are

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 1>all about thinking that Violet and her mom are both venin.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>So there are so many clues.

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>And I even went back because in the second book,

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I really hope if you have not read this, you

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>tuned out a while ago, because now I'm like even

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 1>panicking putting this in the podcast. So I went back

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to book one when I reread it and was thinking

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>about Jack Barlow because she's like, I know when he

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>turned ven and it's when he fought me, and I

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't even pay attention to that, so I don't quite

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>remember those red rings around his eyes. But it also

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't totally align with me, but who knows. I'm so

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>excited for book three. Part of me likes reading people's

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>theories but another part of me is like, I just

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>want to be so surprised. But obviously, Rebecca Arris is

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a phenomenal writer and she's gonna shock as left and right.

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's so funny because people are so they're like,

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I predicted that. I knew that was gonna happen. My

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>best friend she's like, I knew Zadan was a mind reader.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I just knew it.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, what, I think I read so fast,

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, so in it. I'm not thinking ahead

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>or trying to predict things. And I do that with

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>shows and movies too, where I do not like to

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>predict anything, and I hate when people are like, oh,

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>saw that coming, saw that coming from a mile away.

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm like I am.

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be present. I don't want to

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>be thinking anything else. So that's my thoughts on that. Yeah,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't predict Zaydan being a venin. Maybe everyone else did.

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm doing my best not to predict,

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>but I like the goddess theory and I think obviously

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Violet is part venin as well. This will be so

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>much easier when it's a book club podcast.

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>If we do that, maybe you guys say this.

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you guys never want to hear me talk about

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>books again, but if we do that, it'll be so

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>much easier because I know everyone has read the book.

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>But I'm struggling because I don't want to give anything

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>away and I don't want to spoil anything. I certainly

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>cannot spoil Fourth Wing for you, because, oh my gosh,

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I can just rave on and on about it. But

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>there are so many predictions on tiktoks and theories and

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>places my mind never went, and it's been really fun

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to dive into that. Also, cast predictions has been really fun.

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I haven't found a single person for Violet that I've

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>liked yet, Zayden, Matthew Dadario possibly also Reggie Bridgerton guy possibly,

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 2>No one's really like hitting it.

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I haven't found him yet, but probably the

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>casting directors who are really good at their job are

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.559
<v Speaker 1>going to find the perfect Saiden. So I do want

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to talk a little bit about Akatar too and my

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 1>thoughts without spoiling again. I'm gonna hit two points two

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>loose ends that I'm super frustrated by, and maybe some

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>other people are too and can explain. Maybe I miss

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>something or maybe it's just not that important and I'm

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>fixated on it.

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Again. This isn't spoiling anything.

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>But I was shocked that the loose ends were never

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>tied with Aris and More, especially in the fifth book.

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so much had been talked about about this

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>for three books at that point, and there was a

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 1>huge emphasis on it on the final book and Hearing

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the Truth, and Aris kept saying more knows the truth,

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>more knows the truth, but she doesn't want to tell you.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And they were alluding to some sort of goodness in

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Eires and we never got that. We never got the

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>truth of what happened, why he did what he did.

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I know obviously why he did what he did,

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>but we never got it. And I kind of needed

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>it to be said outright, and I needed I just

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>needed that to be finished. And it just I don't know,

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that was weird to fixate it on so much and

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>then you're just like.

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, right, bye.

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Also, there's one thing that could be a spoiler, so

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess I won't say it. Maybe just skip fifteen

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>seconds if you haven't read it and you're going to

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>read it. But I thought either Nesta was going to

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>be queen. It just kind of like I thought it

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>made sense. I thought she was going to be queen,

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm blinking because I'm on a different series.

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Her boyfriend, her mate. I thought they were going to

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>roll together because there's this whole fixation on the bastard thing.

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>But that never happened, and I was like, okay, yeah,

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe I was wrong there. But then I was like, okay,

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>then definitely Rice is going to be king, right, No,

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>So I was shocked by those two things, not necessarily

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a loose end, just something that I predicted that I

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>was wrong about. The other loose end that I'm frustrated,

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>which is a much smaller thing and a much smaller

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>plot in the story storyline. In the story uh Lucien

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and Hellian, we just never never going to address that

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to either one of them. That seems so dumb, like

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>why would we never? There was a great instance for

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>something to happen there, whether it be in a battle, nothing,

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So that I was pretty frustrated by. I don't have

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>any loose sense for Fourth Wing, because you know, we

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>were only on book two out of the five, and

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>on Throne of Glass, there are so many loose ends

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm on book three and I still have five

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>more books to read.

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So those are my book thoughts.

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>So just one last time, if you are interested in

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a book club. I know I'm pushing it hard, but

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I do think it would be so fun to chat

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>with you guys, to read a book together, to have

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>our own little suckers book club.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I just love the idea of it. Share what books

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you think we should read.

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to jump into book five of Throne

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>of Glass because that seems silly. We could do book

0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>one of Crescent City if you guys haven't read that,

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>but it.

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Seems like most of you have Night and Gale open

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>to anything.

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, let me know, Lemon know your thoughts, DM me,

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>DM help. I suck at dating and we can discuss.

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But if Fourth Wing you want to get back into reading,

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Fourth Wing seems a little daunting to you.

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 2>It is a thick book. Maybe you're not into the

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 2>fantasy thing.

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I honestly thought didn't think I was into the fantasy thing,

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 1>but now I'm on book ten, so if that's not

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>really your thing, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.120
<v Speaker 1>also such an incredible book, and another thing that kind

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of revamped my love for reading.

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 2>I also really liked Normal People.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:43.479
<v Speaker 1>It was different from other books that I've been reading,

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 1>but it was good and I watched the show after

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I Actually I haven't finished the show, but I started

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>watching the show.

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Thought that was cast pretty well.

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.679
<v Speaker 1>But The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is such a

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>great book and I can't wait for that to be turned.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Into a movie again.

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who they would cast as Evelyn, because

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>she's another one who's just written as the most beautiful person.

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Everyone stops and stares as she enters into the room.

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>And these writers are so good at writing. I'm like,

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>who the heck looks like this? I have no idea,

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 1>but I'm excited for all of these books to come

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 1>to life. Excited to chat with you, chat more books

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>with you, even if you hate the idea of doing

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>it on a podcast. We'll just keep chatting to my dms.

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.479
<v Speaker 1>So let me know and be sure to tune in

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>next week, where we'll talk about pop culture and maybe

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>suck just a little bit less.
