During my first week in San Francisco, Chanelle and I buddy read The Dream Thieves and let the events of the book influence what we did, saw, and ate for the next few days. This idea was inspired by booksandlala. (Not sponsored) If you’re interested in staying at an amazing airbnb like I did, you can get up to $55 off with my link: https://www.airbnb.com/c/cindyp4057 

 I hope you enjoyed seeing the sights around the city with us! I'm proud of myself for (FINALLY) editing a video to be under 15 minutes, which is pretty incredible considering this was 3+ days of footage. I'll talk more comprehensively about my thoughts on Dream Thieves in a monthly wrap-up. I hope everyone got some nice rest & relaxation over the holidays so that we can approach 2020 as better selves. I'm personally super excited for all the books I'm gonna be reading in the new year. I also really want to rewrite the first draft of a novel I wrote a few years ago, so that's one of my new years resolutions. Do you have any resolutions for 2020? Let me know. xx

Here are the books I enjoyed the most this year, including poignant memoirs, fluffy romance, career development advice, feminist manifestos, and more.

“Who you are when you’re angry is still you. It doesn’t have to be all of you, but it’s a piece of you all the same. If you deny that, you might as well deny your whole maldito self and be done with it.”

— Maya Motayne, Nocturna

To prepare for a series of very important interviews that could change the rest of my life, I vlogged myself reading A Court of Wings and Ruin. Yes, I could’ve read a career development book instead, but I decided to consume faerie smut to truly embody crackhead energy.  Anyway if my coworkers are watching this yall better click on my ads so you can contribute to both of my paychecks, k thanks!!!

Update: Very shitty to hear JK Rowling's transphobic opinions on the morning I post my announcement for @hpvirgins 2020 Harry Potter Readalong. So from now on, any money I make from HP-related content on my YouTube channel will be donated directly to charities supporting trans rights.

Books Shania Read In 2019 – My Sister, the Serial Killer                                  by Oyinkan Braithwaite

“ Besides, no one is innocent in this world. Why, go up to your maternity ward! All those smiling parents and their newborns? Murderers and victims. Every one of them. ‘The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder. ”

Hi Cindy, i love your videos and your personality ! I always want to talk about tour videos to my friends but i can't seem to find what pronouns you prefer ?

my pronouns are she/her!

[readwithcindy]

hiii, I saw one of your videos on twitter and I liked so much that I'm watching all your videos now and I loved your reviews anyway, did you read an ember in the ashes? I like so much and I have some thoughts about it and I would love see a review from you * not english fluent so I'm sorry for mistakes that I probably made :)

i have not read ember in the ashes but i would consider picking that book for papercut book club someday!

As I move across the country to start a new life and escape from the shame of my neighbors and coworkers who have heard me read out loud ACOTAR smut scenes, I also read a few books along the way. Here’s me talking about them while I try not to have a nip slip in my bathrobe.

Chanelle and I chat about books we adore and hate, our unpopular opinions about the Shadow and Bone Netflix cast, and our thoughts on booktube drama while we cook Friendsgiving dinner.
