This is my review of A Master Of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark.
I'm so glad I finally got to film something again. I didn't notice how much I missed it until today.
So even though I feel like a newbie again, I hope you enjoy this video. I really liked this book and I want to share the love.
Sorry for the long absence. It just wasn't the time for reading and filming. Maybe I'll elaborate more in future videos.

Tell me what you thought about those first paragraphs in the comments.
How the challenge works:
1) Pick 5-10 unread books from your shelves (I avoided sequels)
2) Read the first paragraph of every book
3) Rank the books based off the first paragraphs
4) Add your highest ranked book to your upcoming TBR
5) Invite someone else to do it

The book I'm talking about is Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann. I think this can be called a review.
I chose this book more or less by accident, but it has been lauded by the international press and I enjoyed it, so why not?
I hope you enoy this video!
I also think that I may have created the worst thumbnail the world has ever seen. 🤣
I hope you enjoy this video.
The Questions:
1) Do you consider yourself a mood reader?
2) Do you set TBRs and do you stick to them?
3) Do books affect you emotionally?
4) When you're feeling sad, do you like to read sad, happy or neutral books?
5) Most often, do you use reading to escape, learn or critically reflect?
6) What is a book that made you laugh out loud?
7) What is a book that made you cry? If you don't cry, one that moved you?
8) What is a book you didn't even know how you felt about after?
9) Are you more likely to read on a sunny or cloudy day?
10) Do you usually “set the mood” when you read? Music, lights, smells, etc?
11) Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between?
