Reading New Mystery Thriller Books Until I Find a 5 Star || Vlog 2024

Some self help books I've tried out had some conspiracy beliefs, mixed in some toxic positivity and some comments on how disabilities only exist because our world is tainted (basically talking about sin in concealed language). Then I looked up the author and found they were a particular type of American Christian.
There was the hint with the toxic positivity and 'how you just don't believe enough' and how you should only think positive thoughts given as the reason why some people have autism/adhd/depression/eating disorders (because they don't try hard enough and are lazy...).

Claudia reminds me of dj cat show if anyone remember it being aired on tv once.😊

Hope you feel better soon. This was a great video, I am glad you found a 5 star.

I'm gonna be very honest with you, the gut lining thing would not make me put it on the unhaul pile, it would make me want to set it on fire

Wonderful vlog. You and Chip in matching outfits were adorable.

Hi Emily, just wanted to reassure you (hopefully) about the coloscopy. I had one last july and it went well. The hardest part is the preparation but please do it properly it will make everything easier! Courage!!

All the best with the colonoscopy Emily, I hope it goes as smoothly as possible! 🤞

the matching cat was amazing. that is so cute 😂😂

also "if chunk could crawl into my skin he would" is the exact description of my all black cat too (but she would tell you she is a fiercely independent kitty who doesnt need me. she is just crawling inside my skin for MY sake obviously)

I love that you match chip 🥹

Your outfit in the beginning was PEAK Cruella de Ville vibes, love it! Hope you're feeling better soon and don't be too scared of the colonoscopy, I've had one earlier this year and didn't feel a thing, the only think that kinda sucked was the prep the day prior. that was literally a bit shitty :D you'll get through it! <3

❤📚📚📚

Oh Emily…. I’m so sorry you’re having a rough time. 🥺 Hope next week is better. I had been on the fence about All the Colors of the Dark but added it to my TBR after hearing your review. ☺️

lifes shitty sometime but fingers crossed it will get better xx

One day I’d like to see a crossover between you and Lala. So many similar books been read with sometimes really different reactions!

Hope things get better for you soon! 💚

Yah so far all of Janice Hallets books are mixed media. I think she has really good reveals but the format gets to me kind if quickly.

Sorry you’re not feeling the best. You’ll get that colonoscopy over with and not have to think about it anymore! Matching Chip is so cute. I think I need to step up my game and match one of my cats. I have All the Colors of the Dark so I’m glad you really liked it!

My cat is being treated for an ear infection right now and he's angry when I reach for the bottle too 😅

The Big News were indeed worth the wait😂 It looked adorable~

The heck does the author mean our guts are a second brain what🤣🤣🤣

A sign you are a good cat mom, you can never pee alone...Feel better soon!

lol, my friend recently saw the aurora borealis on an Iceland vacation and it sounds like it's also not super visible to the naked eye, even there

Take care Emily :)

Hope you have a better week ahead!

I also did a colonoscopy recently and the preparation is shitty (pun not intended). Can't you ask it to be with anesthesia? I did it that way and was good. Gave me the injection, slept through it. Lasted 20 min. If it is possible there in Canada i adviced to get it that way (and if you don't have health problems that make anesthesia impossible/difficult).

The idea of a Colonoscopy is worse than the actual experience. You count back from 100 and then wake up in another room. Ive had GI issues and had to have a Colonoscopy and an EGD (going in the other way). I hope you get answers. I unfortunately didn't. 😕

Simone St James - I am working my way through her books. I finished The Broken Girls last night. You are right, The Sun Down Motel has been the best so far.

I'm going to recommend Julia Haeberlin again. I've really like her.

Hope you're feeling better.

The cat head popping up when you said "second brain" had me almost crying 😂

Sending hugs ❤

this format really suits me

best!!!

really liked this video

awesome video

you got a new sub!

Emily: "it includes ghosts, but not like ghost ghosts" 😂

Hi Emily! Love your videos! I am a board certified doctor and just wanted to clear up this "gut-lining" being a second brain. Our gut is basically one giant neuron-filled network and it indeed has an incredible effect on how we react to things, how we think about things, how we digest our food, what we crave for when we are lacking. It is entirely plausible to say that the gut "knows" best sometimes, it literally does. This is not a myth but a not well understood concept that needs much more research of course. One terrifying example of how closely related our brain and gut-neurons are, are the fact that we can get many forms of Prion disease from stool-transplants (yes, that is a thing). So don't dismiss it, it is in actuality a thing!

Can't wait to hear what you think about Murder Road. We love St James, and my daughter thought this one wasn't as good as the last few. My TBR is about 4 ft high so will be awhile before I get to it 😂

For the background lights you could try placing two complementary lights on either side, like purple on the left and yellow on the right, it’d be cool

I am so sorry to hear that you had a bad week. My week really sucked too. I hope the things that sucked for you are temporary sucks and that your colonoscopy went well. 🫂🤗

I'm right there with ya! Had one of those weeks too anddd then my period showed up lol. Sending all the good vibes and hope things better ❤

Just a note : you can actually make a formal/official complain about your doctor to the Collège des Médecins. It doesn't have to be a crazy angry thing, you can just politely point out that you're not being listened to the way you should, or not getting the treatment you need, etc.

I'll be honest the last two weeks have been a little heavy and weird for me too. I've heard it was eclipse season if you believe in that kind of thing. Otherwise, lovely content. Tfs!

Sometimes you can see the Aurora with the naked eye-- however that's rare, our eyes don't see color very well in the dark, the best way to "see" it is by taking pictures. I was very lucky and got to see some in the Arctic, and it was tough to see color without a camera.

A colonoscopy isn't so bad, the prep is the worst part usually. Just get a lot of gatorade (light colors, yellow, clear, white are best, avoid red and blue) and clear soda, broth, and tea to rehydrate. The prep really dehydrates you and you have stay hydrated or they can't get an IV started.

I was very disappointed by “the mountain is you” 🙄 I don’t get why so many people love it 🙄

Totally off topic, but I am listening to your accent and was wondering where you live in Canada?

Where did u get your black long sleeves?

A horror book you should try is the house of leaves by Mark Danelewski. It’s not a new release, but it’s written with different media way and in your have been liking that. I can’t tell you much about it, but read with lala loved it.

My toxic opinion is that people who read self-help book would actually benefit from seeing a psychologist but don't realise it

ok it een a couple of days already but im so sorry you had sucha terrible week but als screamed??? they screamed at you??? im so pissed on your behalf. butat least lets hope eveything goes well with the colonoscopy and f that unprofessional ahole

That doctor is a d*ck. Yes, we all have good and bad days and I hope the following ones were better.
Still excited for that 5 stars book. ❤
