Hi guys, it's half I am back again and this is going to be an introduction for a new project a zelma who I will link down below of course. Came up with this idea, she's called it the book smarts project. It's basically a project roulette but it is a book related one rather than a makeup related one like I normally do. I thought it was a really really good idea. She has a list of 100 topics, themes, ideas for books to pick from your collection and we're starting with five books a month obviously I'm starting this in February so not quite as many months. So what I did is I used a random number generator that I have on my phone and I picked five numbers from 100. The random number generator that I actually have has the option of picking X number of numbers and you can actually make it remove certain numbers if you've already used which I think is really really cool which is why I use it. I don't have the list in front of me of the different topics but I will leave them all in the description bar below when I upload this video. So yeah, zelma was calling for anybody who wanted to join in to join in and I thought it's sound like a great project and I really want to read more. Now of the first four books I picked four of them actually on my Kindle app on my phone so I have Amazon. Whoops, wrong one. I have Amazon Kindle on my phone. So four of the books that I picked are actually on there. I will insert pictures of the cover of the books as I go through. So just to make it. So you can see which books I'm talking about. And they were all either free downloads or like less than a dollar kind of downloads. I like free downloads. So let's get into the five books I have for February. At the end of February or the start of March I will come back. I will update this and any books that I have finished I will pick a new book for. If I finish well before the end of the month or five books then I will do an update sooner and put in five new books. It will just depend on how much reading I do. Not expecting to get through the full list of 100 options by the end of the year. At least a couple a month would be good. So the first number I picked is number 33 which was a book that is more than 100 years old. This is the only book that is an actual copy of a book. And that is Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling. These have been continually imprint since 1902. So they're well over 100 years old. There's a whole bunch of short stories in this. Which is good if you just want something quick to read. There's one two three four five six seven eight nine ten twelve plus two extra stories. So I thought that was good if I just wanted something like quick to read. There's been a long time since I've read any of these. But it's things like how the camel gets its hump and the whale gets its throat and the leopard gets his spots. Those kind of things. So I thought that was worth it. That would be a fun one to read. So the second number I picked is 95 which is a book with a shifter. If you don't know what a shifter is it means a character that exists in more than one form. So a werewolf is an example of a shifter and someone who is not just taking a human or they can appear to be a werewolf. A lot of shifter books are romance type books. Some of them are pretty full on hardcore. The book that I have picked for that is called Soulmate by Anna Santos. One of my friends in the book hoarders group actually mentioned that this was free which is the only reason I have in this book because I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. I'm not a huge fan of shifter romances. I have to admit, I don't know, of shifter books in general. Not my favorite. This is a romance book. It's called The Immortal Love Series. It's a book one of the Immortal Love Series. Yeah. We'll see what it's like. I haven't really looked at it yet. For number, for the third one I picked number 53 which was a crew trim. For my third one I picked number 53 which is a true crime book and I had a look around on Amazon to see if I could find any free downloads of true crime books. They're not really something that I read. Well, I occasionally watch programs on true crime or read about true crime and I really quite like one of the only series I like from Buzzfeed is the Unsolved one which often looks at true crime. It's not really something I read a lot of. I found this book by a guy called Ryan Becker and it is about a man called Robert Bedele who turned his darkest fantasies into a reality and yeah, it's part of a whole series of books like this. So I thought I would, thought I'd read that one. Yeah, because it was a free download. So if you're looking to get a really large cross section of different types of books putting in free Kindle downloads, you'll come across some really interesting titles. So the fourth one is an inspirational novel. This is kind of hard because it depends on what you mean by inspirational. I think a lot of people go for like real life stories of people who've conquered the odds and stuff like that or often it is a religion based book and that's not something that I'm into. And I'm not sure about this book that I actually picked again, free download, but it's in the kind of genre that I prefer which are romance novels, mainly because they're fairly easy read. This one is labelled as an inspirational romance. It is called Ask Me Again by Kara Kinsley. Again, I know nothing about this book. I just saw that it fit the genre that I liked and it fit the category that I needed for this. Yeah. And that is the fourth one. And the last one is number 42 which was Read and historical fiction. And the one that I picked was a book called Voge of the Heart by Soraya S-O-R-A-I-A. Sorara Lane. Again, this one was actually, I believe, one of the Samsung, like when you have a Samsung phone and you get the Kindle on Samsung. Once a month you get an option of, I think it's like a four different books which you can get for free. And I believe that's where this one actually came from. And it's set in about 1945. I think it's set during the Second World War. So that's kind of historical. It's in history. So yeah. So the cover looked interesting and I think it fits the genre, the thing, well, and it's a fiction. I actually have a couple of books by this author and I haven't actually read either of them. So yeah, I'll be interested to see what this one is like. Yeah. So that is the fifth one of these. So hopefully I haven't even started reading any of them even though I organised all my paperwork for this a few days ago. I still haven't touched any of them. So I will leave Zelma linked below and anybody else that she's linked who's joining in with us as well, I will include the list of 100 books. So if you want to get involved, then do that and make sure you're going to tell Zelma that you've joined in so that she can watch your videos or if you're doing it on Instagram or wherever. So she will follow along. She is fabulously supportive of other creators in any kind of field. And yeah, so make sure you go and see her and let her know. Yeah, and I will update this as and when it is appropriate for me to do so. So if you want to subscribe, click the button down there, leave me a thumbs up if you like these kind of videos and leave me a comment down below. I try to respond to all comments and I'll see you in my next video. See ya.
