Hey guys! So we made it here to Airlie Beach and opening a new reading vlog.
This is gonna be an Airlie Beach with Whitsundays and Mackay vlog. I'm gonna
start with what I was reading on the bus. I was reading at Twilight and I've just
gone a bit over halfway. But Edward's rapid mood changes are really funny. It's just
quite hilarious. I'm enjoying it so much. I miss reading it. The plan for the day is to go on a boat. We are going to the Whitsunday
islands with two lovely beaches that are supposed to be the best in Australia. And also
we are gonna go snorkelling -- I don't
know if I can really vlog that but I'll tell you about my experience afterwards.
On the beach I don't think I'm going to read Twilight. 'Cause I'm reading this on my Kindle and
like, reflection with the Sun just never works well. So I'm going to continue
reading Crown of Midnight which is... it's... it's decent so far many. I'm like, 50 pages in.
Just getting started.
Hey guys, right now we're on Whitsunday -- we're at Whitsunday islands and the
snorkeling... I could not vlog it but it was really one of the best things I've
done in Australia. I felt just like Ariel from The Little Mermaid seeing all the
lovely fish and the reef and everything. And while we've been here the water has
been very very nice. And I've been listening to the Lord of the Rings 2 which
is noticeably better than the first book. But we're not following the person who
has the ring. Like, we're not following Frodo which is confusing. But other than
that it's actually been a bit better. Not the most exciting still but definitely
an improvement from the first book. So yeah, we're about to head back in the
boat again and we'll probably watch The Hobbit part 1 tonight. And I'll let you
know what I think about that later.
I finished, well, I started reading A Heart so Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer and
I'm not going to say much because this comes out in January 2020 and I know a
lot of people are very excited to read it. But as a sequel it is everything I
could literally want from it and more. It's absolutely fantastic. It's
absolutely fantastic. I'm 300 pages in and there's only like, 150 pages left. I
started it this morning and I just kind of want to keep on reading. But yeah, I'm
not gonna really say much more other than it was fantastic because I don't
want to spoil anyone. But if you get anything in 2020 it's this series. And if
you haven't read A Curse so Dark and Lonely, you are missing out. We're gonna
take the coach to Cairns now so next time you see me I'll be in a different
location. Hey guys, so I haven't really been in the mood to vlog much which is
why there are some big gaps missing in this. But that's okay, I said I would
be fine with casual vlogging. But I wanted to let you know that today
we went on a lovely boat trip and then we snorkeled at two different
locations where you could see the Great Barrier Reef. And this was my favourite
Great Barrier Reef experience because especially in the second location, the
sun was shining and it just cut through the water very clearly. And you could see
some of the lovely colours of the corals and so many fish. Somebody was really
nice and allowed they took a video of me and Marilyn swimming with their GoPro
which meant for free they're gonna email it to us and I'll insert that clip now.
But yeah, that was very nice of them to do that. We're going to our second hostel
in Cairns where we're going to stay and I think it's just to like, chill a little bit. I
did say that we were watching The Hobbit Part one we never finished it. But when we do
finish it then I will let you know my thoughts on that. I'm gonna keep
rereading Twilight. I've been going pretty slowly with it even though I've
been enjoying it. And yeah, that's my update. Okay, so the lighting is not the
best wherever I go but are you ready for one major update? So this coach to here
was long. It was like, 13 hours. And was also during the day so what did I do for 13
hours? I read. I finished my reread of Twilight and all I can say was that it
was a lot of fun. Edward just provides so much drama and I'm still noticing things
about this first book that I haven't noticed before
upon rereading. Which I find very very interesting. That you can still always
find something new when you reread a book. I read a quarter of the way through
Crown of Midnight. I don't really have many opinions other than one of my ships
seems to be happening and I am perfectly okay with that. But other than that I
still feel like even a quarter way through the book it's just getting
started. But Archer is a very interesting character. Then I also read another two
hours of listening to The Lord of the Rings 2. And I was talking to Jade from Jaded
Reader about me reading Lord of the Rings 2 and she kind of explained how the
main character is not supposed to be Frodo. You're supposed to follow
different characters with different storylines. Now that I understand that I
think I can appreciate this second book a little bit more. So that's kind of how
that's progressing. And I also read one fifth of Infinity Son by Adam Silvera.
This one comes out in January but by the time I've got this vlog out it'll
definitely be out because it's gonna take me a while. I'm not too sold on this
first bit, I have to be honest. I'm not really loving the two characters. The world
is kind of -- it's being explained but it's also just a bit thrown out there. I can
see how Adam Silver is trying to make this very much an urban fantasy but yeah,
it just seems a little bit too messy for me, a little bit untidy and I'm not
sure about the writing style. And I'm not really loving the characters. So that's
my huge reading update for now. We are now in Mackay. Not sure what we're gonna
do here. We're just going to sleep 'cause it's pretty late.
Hey guys, so I just wanted to close up the Cairns, Airlie beach, Whitsundays and now
Mackay vlog here because not much is happening. We're at a lagoon just
chilling. We're gonna be taking a 19-hour coach trip. I'll get a lot of reading done.
And then we will be staying overnight at the airport, and then we'll be flying
which will also take a whole day because it's a flight to Sydney and then we have a
transfer for a couple of hours and then we fly to Queenstown. So lots of reading
time. And I'll open up my first New Zealand vlog. I'm gonna do it in two bits
with the South Island and the North Island being two separate vlogs because
we're there for a week respectively. I will open up with my
reading updates that will probably involve Crown of Midnight and Lord of
the Rings 2 and Infinity Son. So do stay tuned for that. But for now this is
goodby. Thank you for coming along with me. Please let me know in the comment
