3. Habitat loss is the number one threat to red pandas. Name a book where a character is forced to leave their home.

The books that helped me get back into reading | I would recommend them all!

RedPandaReads 2021-08-31 | Hi Friends,

I have been in a massive reading slump recently and despite wanting to read I've found the process of sitting down and picking up a book really difficult. I then saw Sam at Griff Reads (link below) do a vlog that included 'The Bone Season' and it sounded fantastic and I had a copy and it inspired me to read it. I am so thankful to her because I then went on to read three move books in a weekend and my thirst for books has returned!

I've also turned off my other social media platforms as I needed a break but I will still be producing content on youtube

Books mentioned
The Bone Season - Samantha Shannon

Lets talk about contraception in books | A reading VlOG | Spoiler I wasnt impressed

RedPandaReads 2020-11-24 | Hi Friends,

Doing something a little different today.

So I decided to do a Vlog, which was far more challenging than I anticipated! Thank you for joining me as I reread extracts and see how contraception is discussed in the books I own. Being open and talking about contraception is something I'm very passionate about and I am very interested by whether/ how it is portrayed in books.

I looked at a very small number of books but I'm hoping over the next year I will look more in to this and have a larger sample size next time, if I do a similar video.

Books mentioned
The Wise Mans Fear - Patrick Rothfuss
Royal Assassin - Robin Hobb
The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler
Procession of the Dead - D.B. Shan
The Black Magician Trilogy - Trudi Canavan
Flat Share - Beth O'Leary
The Way of Shadows - Brent Weeks
