00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, we've kind of got like little places We've

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,800

Speaker 1: each week, just for the next couple months or so,

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to give away a book. I've got about

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: twenty books to give away. They can be books that

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: I have been sent by other authors or often people

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: send me books to pitch to come on this podcast

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: as well. They can be books that I have read

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: this time last year, I read loads of Colleen Hoover books,

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: so I've got I think a handful of those ones.

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to give one of Colleen Hoover books away today.

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: I've got some of my own books in there. I've

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: got Feels Failing, Beauty, food and Inspiring Ingredients, and then

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: some authobiographies, some like nonfiction. So yeah, there's loads and

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: loads of books to give away. So all that I'm

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: going to do is so my thing is I am

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: loving being a little reading nerd, and it is so

38
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: fun to pass those reads onto other people. So what

39
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to do is literally in each pod, at

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: the end of each pod, tell you which book I'm

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: giving away, and if you want it, all you got

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: to do is DM me on Instagram be like I'd

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: like to read that book because and that's it, and

44
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: then I will just send it out to you if

45
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: you've picked, if you've given a good reason, so the

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: best reason wins essentially all the reason why you want it.

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: So I guess like, let's just see how it goes,

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: and yeah, you don't need a paper postage, none of that.

49
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: I'll just trot on down to Australia Post and send

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: it to you myself anyway. So that is my little

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: January February fun thing that I'm going to do. If

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: it works, let's try it for a few weeks and

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: hopefully you like that. Okay, so let's talk bar and Bay.

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve with Dad was at Harvest, which was

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: so beautiful. We booked that well in advance and it

56
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: was actually his Christmas presence. So we just thought, oh,

57
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: we like to get him experiences, Like last year we

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: got him riding horses on the beach. The year before

59
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: that was kayaking with dolphins and turtles, and so we

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: just all experience based is a good way to go

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: for Dad. He's kind of got a lot of things

62
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: that he wants and so he doesn't need too many things.

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: So we just thought, ah, that's the way to go

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: for him, and he loved it. Harvest was beautiful. It

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: was their December menu. So the idea behind Harvest is

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the food is locally sourced and foraged

67
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: as well, and it's in this beautiful little Hindland town

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: called Nuribar, and it's just stunning, like there is plants

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: hanging from the ceiling. There's it's just got a beautiful ambient.

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: It's really high ceilings. It feels a little bit like

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: you're sitting in terrarium, like beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Definitely worth

72
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: booking if you're you know you've got a romantic date

73
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: night or something you want to do when you visit Byron.

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: It's not cheap. It is a little bit of investment.

75
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: But we were like it's New Year's Eve. It was beautiful.

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Matt and I both got a martini. Dad got a pino.

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: The pinot was called Save our Souls. I don't know

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: how I just remembered that, but he really liked his pinot.

79
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: We got. I took photos of all the food for you.

80
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: So basically the idea is it's kind of sharing food

81
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: and it's not massive, you don't kind of over eat here,

82
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: it's like quite gentle as far as portion besizes go.

83
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: So we got we started with oysters and got this

84
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: burnt lemon and thyme like nigarette on top that was

85
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: really really really yummy. Then we got a like charred coliflower.

86
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: My favorite was the oysters, and this the raw It

87
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: was like a raw tuna with jalapenos, jalapenas kalipinos and

88
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: like like it looks like mint in there. Cucumber that

89
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: was really yummy, and then we got this tempura eggplant.

90
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: We got everything gluten free because as you know, I

91
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: can't have gluten. And then for manes, we just shared

92
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: a piece of mahi mahi, which is a beautiful whitefish,

93
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: and that came with like this cool, really nice like

94
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: kind of white sauce thing, but it wasn't drenching or

95
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: anything like that. And then it just had on top

96
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: snow peas and green beans. And then we just got

97
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: a big bowl of like imagine just like I'm pretty

98
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: sure they grow it out the back, just like fresh

99
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: garden greens. And then we got sweet potato with a

100
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: comfeed pepita so pumpkins eat on top, and that was

101
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: oh no. And then Dad and Matt got desserts. Dad

102
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: got this like it was like a Macadamius slice. It

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: tasted I had a little taste to it. Tastes. They

104
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: were definitely quite heavily roasted, so it tasted almost peanut buttery.

105
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: And then had a Macadamius salbet kind of thing on top,

106
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: and Boss got this stone fruit custody thing with pav

107
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: on top. I like Dad's more than I liked Matt's,

108
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: so that was really nice. I took a photo with them.

109
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: So the dessert was, yeah, macadamiens slice of Macadamius sorbet,

110
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: and then Matt got sorry. The photo I took is

111
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: fuzzy stone fruit with a cream. I think that was

112
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: like the the like custody thing. And then Italian merangue,

113
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: but it was like really thin the merngue, and they

114
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: kind of like shards of it over the top oysters

115
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: with So this is there. This is what it says

116
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: on there, so the menu doesn't give loads away. This

117
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: is with burnt lemonon thyme, or you could get chili

118
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: or vinigarette or natural. And then we got tempura, eggplant, miso, spice,

119
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: capsicum and nasturtium. Really nice. The fried cauliflower with hommice

120
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: and garden salsa verde. And then we got the wild

121
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: caught fish with lemonon local greens that was yummy, and

122
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: then local leaves, olive oil and harvest vinegar. The harvest

123
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: vinegar was insane. Roasted sweet potato with paprika, oregano, salt

124
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: and confee pepedes. Yeah, so good, really nice, A really

125
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: beautiful location if you just want to wow someone or

126
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: you're on a really fancy date and it's just really

127
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: really beautiful. The next place that we went to, I

128
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: feel like we did that before we did we did

129
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: that a couple of days before. Is new. It's in

130
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: bar and Bay. Well it's new for me because obviously

131
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I live half in Los Angeles, not in Viron for

132
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the year. It's called Moonlight. It's

133
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: a Japanese restaurant in town. I think it's got the

134
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: same owners as Light Years and Smoking Camel and Pixie.

135
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: I want to say, so there are there's like a

136
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: gang here that opens up amazing food places. But anyway,

137
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: Moonlight was beautiful and it has as you know, Boss

138
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: and I've been getting into our whiskies. It has a

139
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: whole whiskey menu that I was even like, I don't

140
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: know how to order off this, but there was like

141
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: a whiskey guru there. I'm pretty sure his name's Hamish,

142
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: and he came over and spent so much time with

143
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Matt nite and taught us about the different styles. I

144
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: tried a Japanese peted whiskey, which was delicious, so Peter

145
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: it means it's kind of like, got this this kind

146
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: of smoky of flavor, so good, and the food was incredible.

147
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: We started with this kind of like cucumber chili salad

148
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: that was delicious. We got a raking fish delicious. We

149
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: got this kind of like corn. They call them corn

150
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: ribs and they look like ribs, but their corn that

151
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: was really really yummy. We got salmonon skewers. It was

152
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: really really nice. I don't think we got desserts there,

153
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: and we both Matt and I tried two different little

154
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: whiskies each and Dad got a pinot once again, so

155
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: that was really nice. We've done a few cook ups

156
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: at home too. We got we cooked up a beautiful

157
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: green cut tigh green curry. We got all our ingreens

158
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: at the Farmer's Market, which is actually where we're going.

159
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: Right after I finished recording this, boss said, oh you

160
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: just you go record and then war head to the

161
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: farmer's mike, which is code for him chilling out, chilling

162
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: out while I do this, So we loved that. We

163
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: also went to this little coffee van. It's kind of

164
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: like hidden on a strip of road which isn't a highway,

165
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: but it connects you to the highways called Ross Lane.

166
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: If it's ever raining, he though, Ross Lane notoriously floods,

167
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: so don't go if it's raining. But there's this little

168
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: coffee van and they've just put like two or three

169
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: tables with umbrellas up and they make really yummy Armond lattes.

170
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: And that's where we went to hang with Dad and

171
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: chit on Dad's way out because he could roads trip

172
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: road trips up and road trips back to Malbs. I

173
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: think he's landing back in talkie this time though, So

174
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: that was the last stop for Dad and d and

175
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: we just yeah hung out with them and it was

176
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: really nice, actually really nice. What else is on my

177
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: little list? I also went to Woods with Dad. He

178
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: got the famous banana bread. I think I just got

179
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: an Armond latte that day the other thing that Matt

180
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: and I have been watching. We are on the final season,

181
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: so by next week I will be able to give

182
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: you the final lowdown of it. But we're watching went Worth.

183
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned that too. I was inviewing actor

184
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: off Wentworth and so we started watching it and then

185
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: got hooked. So that's been a lot of fun to watch.

186
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: So many more complex characters come in because it is

187
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: a nine season show, so by the ninth season you

188
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: do have your characters that have survived, let's say, but

189
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: there are so many more new and as the show

190
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: got more and more hype, they were getting like bigger

191
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: and bigger and bigger actors, Like some really big Australian

192
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: names are in it. So you've got Kate Box, You've

193
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: got Zoe Tarracis in this in season eight and nine,

194
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: so like pretty yeah, pretty exciting to watch it unfold.

195
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Fun to watch an Aussie drama too. And I didn't

196
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: know that was based on like a show from the

197
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: seventies and it's done really well and has a huge

198
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: cult following in America as well. All right, righty oh,

199
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: I am going to give your review a fourth wing.

200
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: I am going to deal with no spoilers, So I

201
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: am just gonna probably have a little read about what's

202
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: written on the back for you, so that and of

203
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: course I'll tell you exactly like the genre, the feel

204
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: of it, what I loved about it, without giving any

205
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: spoilers away. So that doesn't mean that means if you

206
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: haven't read it, this won't ruin anything for you. If

207
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: you have read it, well, welcome to the Welcome to

208
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: the party of how amazing it is. I'm going to

209
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: have a quick swig of coffee so I'm all caffeinated

210
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: for this bit, right. Oh so a friend of mine

211
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: recommended her. She's an author, so I really trust her

212
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: like judgment on this stuff I have never read. I

213
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: want to preface this, I have never read fantasy genre before.

214
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: So technically this book is called new adult, so the

215
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: lea the two lead characters are twenty and twenty three,

216
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: so it's probably written for that age demographic as far.

217
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: But everyone's reading it, like Matt's reading it. I'm reading

218
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: at a bunch of my mates are reading it. But

219
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: that's the genre is It's called new adult now versus like,

220
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: which is kind of there's a huge fantasy genre that's

221
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: that ya, which is that younger adult, which is like

222
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: that seventeen eighteen nineteen kind of window. I love ya

223
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: as well. I love ya watching ya as like on TV,

224
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: like Vampire Diaries. I'm sure it would have been Ya

225
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: five feet apart, that beautiful movie would be Ya. So

226
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: it's the age up from that, which means if it's

227
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: new adult, you're probably If it's you know, it's going

228
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: to have a spice bit of sexy times in here.

229
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: But the premise of this is we are at a

230
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: war school essentially, or where they're training dragon riders up

231
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: for war essentially. But I'm going to read what's written

232
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: on it because that might give you a bit more

233
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: a taste. So it says on the front cover, fourth

234
00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: wing fly or Die, brutal games, grumpy dragons, sizzlings, sexual tension.

235
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's all. That was just someone's I thought it

236
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: was another sentence, but that was someone's name. Okay, So

237
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: brutal games, grumpy dragon, sizzling, sexual sexual tension. I think

238
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: the opening line of it I can probably give away

239
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: to you because I'm pretty sure. Yeah, So the opening

240
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: line is a dragon without its writer is a tragedy.

241
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: A writer without their dragon is dead. So that is

242
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: the whole there. Basically, once you bond with a dragon,

243
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: you're bonded for life with that dragon, which is really cool. Radio.

244
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: So it's a chunky book. It is probably over two

245
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: hundred thousand words. I imagine it is around five hundred pages.

246
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: I read it in two and a half three days,

247
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: like wild all right, So let me read you the

248
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: back to give you a little taste of it, and

249
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: then I'll tell you what I loved about it. Welcome

250
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: to the brutal and elite world of Oh this is

251
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: the thing. I never know how to say. Half their

252
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: names in it. Baskieth War College. Apologies if I say

253
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: anything wrong with the describing your names and stuff, because

254
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: they've all got these amazing Gaelic kind of inspired names.

255
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: Twenty year old Violet Soreingael Again, don't know if I

256
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: said that name right or not. Twenty year old Violet

257
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: was supposed to enter the Squab quadrant, living a quiet

258
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: life among books and history. Now the commanding General, her

259
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: toughest Talon's mother, has ordered Violet to join the hundreds

260
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: of candidates striving to become the elite Dragon writers. But

261
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: when you're smaller than everybody else, and your body is brittle.

262
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: Death is only a heartbeat away. Because dragons don't bond

263
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: to fragile humans, they incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing

264
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: to bond than candets. Than cadets, most would kill Violet

265
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: to better their own chances of success. The rest would

266
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: kill her just for being her mother's daughter. Like Zayden,

267
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: the most powerful and ruthless Wing leader in the writer's quadrant,

268
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: She'll need every edge her wits can give her just

269
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: to see the next sunrise. Yet every day the war

270
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: outside grows more deadly, the Kingdom's protective wards are failing,

271
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: and even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding

272
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: a terrible secret. So everyone at Baskieth has an agenda.

273
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: So sleep with one eye open, because once you enter,

274
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: there are only two ways out, graduate or die. And

275
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: then there's two little recommendations like quotes from other I'm

276
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: presuming fantasy authors. As compelling as it is deadly, Fourth

277
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: Wing is dazzling, fiercely romantic, and unforgivably addictive. It's super addictive.

278
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: So basically, you've got dragons. You've got telepathic dragons, might

279
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: I add, so they can talk to you through thought.

280
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: You have got death defying games that you've got to

281
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: do to kind of like survive the war college essentially

282
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: and to kind of like graduate. It's a three year course.

283
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: You have got world building going on, so you know that, yes,

284
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: this college has its own worlds where there's the squabe quadrant,

285
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: the Healer's Quarters, the Rioters quadrant, so that you're world

286
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: building within the college. And then outside of the college

287
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: you've got different kind of like sectors where some parts

288
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: of them at war with other parts and it's wild.

289
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: And then you've got the dragons that have their own

290
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: set of laws, their own set of rules, and basically

291
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: the dragons and the humans are working together against a

292
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: common enemy. Right, Hopefully that gives you a bit of

293
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: a taste. And then you've got the potential love. So

294
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: it's so fun to for me like the stuff that

295
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness, Yes, I love when

296
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: the dragons are talking to her, like, I think that's

297
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: really fascinating and a cool, fun relationship to unfold. And

298
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: then obviously you've got the like tension building in the

299
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: romantic stuff as well, So I think it's a great read.

300
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, I've never had fantasy genre before, but obviously,

301
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: like I've loved Harry Potter, I've loved Vampire Diaries, I've

302
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: loved The Witch, I've loved Game of Thrones, you know

303
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, So that if you like those kind

304
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: of shows, you're probably going to like fourthing to me,

305
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: what I say to my friends is think it's got

306
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: like a speck. So I think like Witcher because you've

307
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: got dragons and whatnot. I think Game of Thrones that

308
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: like live or Die kind of and the different you

309
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: know how Game of Thrones is kind of like a

310
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: different lands, different houses. You don't get all of that

311
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: until you move on to book number two, which is

312
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: Iron Flame, but it does have to me a nod

313
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: to Game of Thrones, and then it's even got a

314
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: little bit of Hunger Games vibes because you do need

315
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: to like win these games, and if you don't win them,

316
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: essentially you're dying a lot of a lot of dying,

317
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, the every challenge is literally

318
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: if you don't succeed, you're plummeting to your death essentially,

319
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: So it's all pretty high stake stuff. I loved it.

320
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: The POV is all pretty much violets, so you get

321
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: your of seeing it through this twenty year old girl's eyes.

322
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: And remember she's the mum. Her mom, sorry, is the general.

323
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying that right. Yeah, her mom, who

324
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: has forced her into becoming a Dragon writer, is the

325
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: commanding general. And she's got enemies the mum, so naturally

326
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the daughter's kind of absorbing those enemies because of stuff

327
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: that the mum's done. Fascinating, really cool, really quick read,

328
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: really fun, totally bingey. A lot of people are saying

329
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: after this, to read I think it's it's right Sarah J.

330
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: Mass and to read or mass to read her. I

331
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: think it's like a Cord of Thorn's kind of series.

332
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is fantastic. The only downside I would

333
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: say to this is so you got Fourth Wing, which

334
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: I think came out earlier twenty twenty three, and then

335
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: November twenty twenty three you got Iron Flame, which is

336
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: the next And this is a five book series, so

337
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: we have to wait until December twenty twenty four for

338
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: the next installment. And this writer likes to leave each

339
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: book on a cliffhanger, so that would be the only

340
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: thing you're not going to get your resolutions, because you'll

341
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: read this and be like, oh my god, amazing, and

342
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: then you'll read Iron Flame and you'll be like, oh

343
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: my God, like ah, what's going on, and you're not

344
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: going to get your resolutions. So that's the only thing

345
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: I would want to prepare you for because you can

346
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: only really read the first two right now. But they're everywhere.

347
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: They're at Big W, they're at Kmart, They're like, I

348
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: picked up Iron Flame for sixteen bucks at Big W,

349
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: So you can get them everywhere right now, and it's

350
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: a fun world to dive into. This is the first

351
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: time Rebecca Yaos has written fantasy genre. She usually writes romance, romantic.

352
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: I nearly said ryandic. No, she nearly. She usually writes romances.

353
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: That's her whole genre and vibes. This is her first

354
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: departure from straight up romance into fantasy, which is really cool.

355
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: The other book that a lot of people are recommending

356
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: to me is it's called Powerless, but I cannot find

357
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: it anywhere. I think that sits more ya so a

358
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a younger genre from what I've read

359
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: on BookTalk, which is TikTok essentially, but you just search books. Yeah,

360
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: there you go. So I loved it. I'd give it

361
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: ten out of ten. I'll review Iron Flame for you

362
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: next week. But it's so fun, like it's the summer

363
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: holidays right now, like you can essentially just indulge in

364
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: reading three hours, four hours a day if you want to.

365
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: It's fun to world build and it doesn't feel like

366
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: junk foodie at all. Like it really feels like you're

367
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: learning about a complex world and social structure and relate

368
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: you're understanding relationships and the complexities of these relationships. So

369
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: it definitely feels like you're entering a whole new world.

370
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: And you know when sometimes you read something you're like, ah,

371
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: I binged that, but it felt a bit junk foody.

372
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like that. It feels like I binged it,

373
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: but I loved it. And this Fourth Wing is also

374
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: turning into an Amazon TV show, so Amazon have the

375
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 1: rights as far as I'm aware from all my deep diving,

376
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: but yes, highly recommend ten out of ten. Loved it.

377
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: So excited to enter the fantasy genre because I think

378
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: that that is going to be my favorite way to

379
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: read fiction moving forward. That said, I do love crime fiction,

380
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: but I always get too scared to read crime fiction

381
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles because you know, I don't want my

382
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: brain going there to manifest crime around me, whereas dragons great,

383

00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,800

00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: I have Got It starts with us, and it ends

401
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: with us. Colleen Hoover and the Ugly Love is the

402
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: one I'm giving away today. Give you a quick synopsis.

403
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna look it up. Love. I remember I

404
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: read in like a day, like Colleen Hoover books. I

405
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: know that I've here we go, got It. I know

406
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: that I have reviewed them for you before. My favorite

407
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: of her books is Verity because it's got like the

408
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: more thriller kind of twist to it as well, which

409
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: is great these loved ones. It ends with us, it

410
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: starts with us. Ugly Love, I think it ends with us.

411
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: Blake light those film rights have been sold and Blake

412
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: Lively is the lead in that. And I think the

413
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: gorgeous actor of nineteen twenty three the Yellowstone series plays Atlas,

414
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: who's one of the characters. And those books are great.

415
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: They're like binge indulgent and like they're just straight up romance.

416
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: So other than Verity, which has got the thriller twist

417
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: in it, which was my favorite of all the Colleen

418
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: Hoover books. But I do find and with them they

419
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: do feel a bit you know, when you like inhale

420
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: something and you're like, oh, do I feel better for

421
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: it or like, you know what I mean? I feel

422
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: I get a bit people call I've seen people call

423
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: it like a book hangover? Where is Fourth Wing and

424
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: Iron Flame? I'm like, oh Wow, what a cool new

425
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: genre I've discovered. I can't wait to learn more and

426
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: understand more, like folklore and all that kind of thing.

427
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: So if that explains the genre differences, that's just through

428
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: my experience of it. Now I'm going to give away

429
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,680

Speaker 1: and why. So. He's a short summary of the book.

433
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: It's about a book named This book is about a

434
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: girl named Tate who decides to live with her brother

435
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: for a while since she's trying to find an apartment.

436
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: But while they're there, she meets her brother's neighbor, Miles,

437
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: and they from there they start off new strings attached,

438
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: new strings, it's meant to say, and no strings attached

439
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: relationship that's right, okay. Her brother's a pilot. Miles is

440
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: also a pilot. He's got a super dark past and

441
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: they fall in love. But because he's got such a

442
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: dark past. It's hot, cold, on off, on, off, on off.

443
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: I hope that gives you a good little taste. It

444
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: was really fun. I'd literally read in a day's It's

445
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: a really easy, fun read, and you just literally soak

446
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: it up. And Tate, what a great name for a girl.

447
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: I love that name. Here we go, let's see Google

448
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: has come up. Google Books has given me another little

449
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: So it's a number one New York Times bestseller. How cool,

450
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: it says here from bestseller sorry from Colleen Human, number

451
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: one New York Times bestselling author. It starts with us

452
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: and it ends with us, a heart wrenching love story

453
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: that proves attraction at first sight can be messy. When

454
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Kate Tolin's When Kate Tate Colins meets airline pilot Miles Archer,

455
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: she doesn't think it's love at first sight. So it's basically, yeah, yeah,

456
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,840
