July Vlog | 2021

By -

I decided to try something different in the month of July! I had originally intended this to be a vlog style wrap up video, but it ended up being more like Friday Reads videos, where I check in with you once a week and let you know how I'm getting along with my reads. I've also included some clips of me doing some manga shopping in Barnes and Noble and attending the Animanga Convention.

I will still be doing a Wrap Up video for the books and manga I read during the month, but I do talk a little about all my reads in this video just so you know. Links after the break.

Books: My Thoughts on Meltdown (Sevens #4) by Scott Wallens

Meltdown by Scott Wallens My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this book a little more than the previous. I could connect a bit more with Jane on a personal level than I have been with the other characters. That is usually the case for me though when band is involved, as it is something that was a large part of my life for many years. Still having issues with the parents, however I am glad that it seems Jane is actually doing something to make her parents understand what she's feeling rather than just lashing out. A solid three star read for me though the story still hasn't wowed me. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Grim Reaper: End of Days

Grim Reaper: End of Days by Steve Alten My rating: 2 of 5 stars This was just ok for me. I suppose it wasn't the story I was expecting going in. It's a battle between good and evil with elements of spirituality and science, but there's a lot going on. There were many POVs and I felt like that made the story drag. This seems to be the start of a series per the last few pages in the book, but there have not been any subsequent novels published to date. I don't think I would've continued with this series if there were to be honest. This book did feel final enough for me in the epilogue. Though I didn't enjoy this book very much, I have been enjoying the author's MEG series a lot and will try other books by him in the future. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Jaws

Jaws by Peter Benchley My rating: 2 of 5 stars I was so fascinated by Meg that I thought I should probably check out this book. Yes, I've seen the movie, but I was still curious about the source material especially because I don't quite remember everything from the film. This one was available to stream for free through Audible for Prime Members so I thought, why not. It's been a while since I've seen the film, though I can say that when I watched it, I did think it was scary. I was a child when I watched it and as an adult, I don't think the movie will give me the same chilling feeling I had then. This book surely was not anything like I expected, and not in a positive way. The use of vulgar language and a derogatory word right off the bat did not help matters for me. The writing style didn't agree with me and the story itself was very dated. The descriptions of the attacks were not chilling or suspenseful to me and the end ...
