Welcome to my review and rather lengthy synopsis & discussion of the Carrie Buck v. Bell Supreme Court Case of 1927. This is the first non-fiction review I have done on my channel and I hope you enjoy. This was very different to film compared to my fantasy reviews, however I learned so much and hope you all do as well. Below I'm posting the articles I mention in the video, plus some more information about how the legacy of Buck v. Bell still affects the country today.

It's nice to be back on the channel - I've missed you all. :D Over winter break I went on the hunt for some upcoming new releases that I think will be fantastic and wanted to share them with you.

Welcome to my slightly chotic review of Anatomy: a Love Story by Dana Schwartz. This book was so much fun and the perfect spooky book for Halloween! And I hope you enjoy the special guest star in this video, my dog Milla!
Warning: This is filled with *spoilers* as the vlog goes on, so beware! Also, if you haven't read Caraval and do not plan on reading it, I think you will still find this entertaining. I do explain the plot as I go along, so you won't be terribly lost (and there may be some unhinged ramblings).

Will I fail? Well, you’ll just have to watch to find out! *suspense intensifies*

Here is my totally, definitely, for sure on time epic tier ranking of everything I read in 2021! I tried to keep it short for you all but 45 books takes some time to get through! I did this completely off the cuff with no preparation so welcome to my disordered but fun thoughts. 😃🥰

So the other day this package showed up at my apartment all the way from France! It was sent by my dear friend Evie (check out her channel posted below) so I thought this would be the perfect time to do an unboxing video! It's a bit chaotic, but that is just par for the course on my channel. So come watch me unwrap this mysterious package and see my reaction live. As Brad Pitt in Se7en says... "Whats in the boxxxxx???????"

It's another Wednesday, which means another night of reading sprints! Tonight will be more chill than usual and we plan on getting a lot of reading done in these sprints. So come join us!
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is still going on, so we are here for another week promoting organizations that could use your help so that they may help the people of Ukraine.
I hope anyone watching that lives in or has family in Eastern Europe is safe. All of our thoughts and prayers (if you pray) are with the Ukranian people right now. I know it is frustrating to not be able to do a lot to help out right now (at least thats the case here in America) so I'm linking some organizations that could use some support (monetarily or otherwise). If you can help out, please do!

This video came about as an inside joke idea and I just had to do it! Yes, I was an emo kid when I was younger and I can’t deny that I still love all the “classic” emo anthems., so I set out to match the emo anthem with the fantasy emo kid/edgelord! 🖤 Did I have way too much fun filming this? Yes. Do I have at least 45 minutes of B-roll footage of me just rocking out to the music like an early 2000's high schooler? Absolutely
WARNING: Some songs contain explicit language and mentions of self-harm. (The final song in this list)
WARNING #2: I tried to be as spoiler-free as possible but it was hard for the adult Fantasy books. If you have not read the series, be warned that relationships and large events may be mentioned.

Welcome to the first episode of my new video series The Science of Sanderson. I am so, so happy to finally get this idea out of my brain and onto the screen for you all to see! As a science geek, I absolutely adore Sanderson's hard magic systems - how they work logically and have rules that even the most mystical of magic must follow in the worlds that he creates. (And if you know me as a Booktuber you know that I can't resist trying to find connections and answers.) Stormlight is no exception and once I realized where Sanderson was headed I wanted to share my knowledge of how scientific principles in our world can give us some understanding of how investiture functions on Roshar. So let's put on our safety goggles and our lab coats and get ready to talk some science!
DISCLAIMER: If you have *NOT* read RHYTHM OF WAR do *NOT* watch this video! It contains many, many spoilers for the events in that book.
#stormlightarchive #brandonsanderson #cosmere #fantasybooksFebruary wrap-up & March TBR!the.almost.book.doctor2022-03-05 | Hey everyone! Here is my wrap-up for last month and my reading possibilities for the month of March. Will I get lucky with some 5 star reads this month? I sure hope so! ☘️✨⭐️
As you all know, Ukraine is being invaded by Russia. I hope anyone watching that lives in or has family in Eastern Europe is safe. All of our thoughts and prayers (if you pray) are with the Ukranian people right now. I know it is frustrating to not be able to do a lot to help out right now (at least thats the case here in America) so I'm linking some organizations that could use some support (monetarily or otherwise).

Guys, I filmed this in AUGUST. Life is just that crazy. That being said, I absolutely loved this book. This review is a bit long because there is just so much to talk about in this little package! I'm so glad this book was picked up by a traditional publisher - the official release by Orbit comes out in March and the sequel will be out in October of this year. Personally, I can't wait to see where she goes with this. Knowledge is Carnage.

We are here with another wine wednesday in this cold, blustery January! My birthday was earlier this week and the only gift I could ever want is to spend time with you lovely people! As always, wine is optional, but a tolerance for shenanigans is a must. :D
Hey everyone! I am back with fresh content now that school is out for the winter and I am soooo excited to share this video with you all! The Books of Babel by Josiah Bancroft is an amazing series that has built up such a whimsical, mysterious story and I could not help but try and figure out what is going to happen next. So put on your proverbial tin-foil hats (while I don a real one) and lets talk about what I think will happen in the Fall of Babel. :D
I only ask that people who have read the Fall of Babel do NOT comment whether or not one of my predictions is correct. I would hate for there to be spoilers for anyone watching that has not read the last book.
