Book + Movie Discussion: The Little Mermaid @marianneguevara8279

Marianne Guevara Hey all! I’m back with another book + movie discussion and this time for a story and film that I have loved for a long time. Today I take a look at The Little Mermaid, the original Hans Christian Andersen fairytale and the Disney adaptation of the same name. I look closely at their differences, the similarities, and themes that are explored in both.
This was a fun installment of the series and I look forward to what your overall thoughts are!

Engine Summer: Review + Discussion

Marianne Guevara 2024-08-13 | Hello everyone! Today I wanted to discuss a book that I recently read and very much enjoyed but I don’t see much videos on, John Crowley’s Engine Summer!
If a post apocalyptic setting, fantasy-esque feel, and hallucinogenic descriptions sound interesting stick around and see if this book sounds like something you’d enjoy!
For anyone who has read Engine Summer let me know down in the comments! I’d love to have a discussion.

Thank you for watching!! 😊

The Book That Wouldn’t Burn + The Book That Broke the World: Review/Discussion

Marianne Guevara 2024-06-21 | I recently finished the first two books of Mark Lawrence’s Library Trilogy and am now currently suffering from a book hangover as I now must patiently wait for the final book😅.

Germinal by the highly underrated Emile Zola and its 1993 film adaptation is the subject of this video! Here I talk about the differences between the two and go in depth on what makes this Zola book very worthy of trying out, not only for the timely social issues but its portrayal of human suffering and endurance.

Shelf Spotlight: Bancroft!

Marianne Guevara 2024-05-03 | Around a year ago I went through my shelves, going in depth, sharing my thoughts, and highlighting notable titles. My bookshelves had significantly changed since then and one of the biggest changes was the addition of a Bancroft shelf. You might have seen that I posted a short that similar to this video but I thought I’d go into more detail, like I did for my other shelves last year. As you probably already know Bancroft is a favorite author of mine and The Books of Babel a favorite series. So this shelf means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy!
Do you also have a shelf dedicated to a favorite author? If so, who?

The Shadow of the Gods Review

Marianne Guevara 2024-04-18 | Venturing outside of your reading comfort zone can be rewarding…or not. The Shadow of the Gods and The Bloodsworn Trilogy have been described as an action packed, grim dark, high fantasy inspired by Norse Mythology. It’s garnered plenty of praise in the fantasy side of booktube and bookstagram so I was eager to see if I’d enjoy it as well. Here I explain my thoughts on the book, what I liked and what I didn’t.
Let me know if you’ve read this book and whether or not you enjoyed. Are you planning on adding this to your tbr?

Two Fantastical Mysteries: The Hexologists + The Tainted Cup

Marianne Guevara 2024-04-13 | Mysteries aren’t your thing? What about mysteries in a fantasy world? I recently found out I’m really into this subgenre of fantasy and the stories it has to offer. I’ve recently read two books that I definitely feel need more attention! Both offer clever mysteries to solve along with fantastical worlds to dip your toes into. I highly recommend both The Hexologists by Josiah Bancroft and The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet! If you have read either titles what did you think of them. And do you have any recommendations?

Book + Movie Discussion: Howl’s Moving Castle

Marianne Guevara 2024-03-22 | We have another installment to my Book + Movie series! Howl’s Moving Castle is another favorite of mine. Like many people I watched the Ghibli film first. However, I came to absolutely love the original novel it was based off. The Diana Wynne Jones book certainly deserves the attention so on this video I discuss these two very different stories, highlighting each of their themes and the drastic changes the Miyazaki film took. By the end maybe you can tell me which one you prefer?

A Book Haul…and Some Book Reviews (Classics, Fantasy, Horror, etc)

Marianne Guevara 2024-02-28 | Hello everyone! I’ve been meaning to do a book haul for quite some time. Other videos just took precedence. But here we have the books that I’ve accumulated in the months of January and February! This will be sort of a twofold video, since I’ve had these books for a while I’ve managed to read the majority of them so I’ll be sharing my thoughts as well.
Let me know if you have picked up any books in these past two months and if you’ve read any of the titles I’ve shown here!
I’d also love to receive some recommendations too.

A Defense of The Fall of Babel (SPOILERS)

Marianne Guevara 2024-01-28 | HUGE SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE BOOKS OF BABEL by Josiah Bancroft!!
If you haven’t read the series this video won’t make sense so I highly recommend you give the books a read and once you’ve done so come back and have a convo with me in the comments section!
I’ve had a lot of thoughts ever since finishing the last book, especially towards some of the polarizing views on it. While I think this series is brilliant I can understand where other people’s gripes come from. Here I offer my own opinion on them! I hope my rambling is at least coherent enough 😅 Maybe my enthusiasm will make up for any lack of articulacy.
To any fellow fans I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts!

Book Cover Tastes

Marianne Guevara 2024-01-19 | Hello everyone! Hope you’ve been doing well! Lately I’ve been watching booktube videos on special editions or international editions or just all around beautiful book covers and it got me thinking of my own tastes when it comes to book covers. So here I discuss the types of covers that I’ve noticed appeal to me and give some examples.
While a cover does not make the book there is certainly room to appreciate the art and artists involved!
What types of covers appeal to you?

Let me know what your favorite reads were this year! I hope everyone is taking care during the holiday season 🎄

P.S. I’ve edited this video numerous times and unfortunately there are some jittery moments especially towards the end. They don’t last long and don’t affect the audio but yeah my apologies.

Spring Book Unhaul 2023

Marianne Guevara 2023-05-23 | UPDATE: I forgot to include the disclaimer in the video that I will only be able to ship books to people in the US. I'm terribly sorry.

It’s been a while since my last book unhaul and since I enjoy watching them so much I thought I’d do another one! I also like to use these unhaul videos as a form of a reading wrapup, as I go into detail on my thoughts on each of the titles and explain why they didn’t really work for me.
Thanks for watching and a huge thanks to all my new and returning viewers!! ❤️
