Okay so I tried a BRAND NEW format this time and honestly? The system failed me SO badly. I read the first chapter of 10 books on my list and let THAT decide what I read next, no cheating, no favourites, just whatever chapter one earns. The top 3 scores made it onto my actual reading list for the month. I was SO confident going in, I really thought I'd cracked the code. I had in fact not cracked the code. There is a DNF in here. There is a book that broke my heart clean in half. There is me, at one point, genuinely saying the words "I hate reading" out loud like a crazy person. There is also a bookshop trip with Francesca, the most chaotic reading update from my step mum Liz, dinner with Emma, TWO finished puzzles, and Amie being the actual best part of my week as always 💕 Full ratings recap is at the end of this one, but if you want the COMPLETE verdict on how the month really went, that's what Wednesday's video is for 👀 📚 THE FIRST CHAPTER CHALLENGE 🍽️ Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg 😴 While You Sleep by SJ King 🚢 In Deep Water by Elle Blair ⚰️ Body Language by AK Turner 🧩 Head Cases by John McMahon 🪰 Fruit Fly by Josh Silver 🏚️ Buyer Beware by Catherine Ryan Howard 🔒 And There He Kept Her by Joshua Moehling 🔫 The Imperfect Murder by James Patterson and JD Barker 🤫 The Whisper Man by Alex North ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:02 The rules, one chapter, no cheating 01:55 Fried Green Tomatoes verdict 02:50 While You Sleep verdict 03:57 In Deep Water verdict 05:08 Body Language verdict 05:58 Head Cases verdict 06:56 Fruit Fly, the one I could not score fairly 08:05 Buyer Beware verdict 09:02 And There He Kept Her verdict 09:37 The Imperfect Murder verdict 11:00 The Whisper Man verdict 11:25 Final reading list reveal 12:38 Bookshop trip with Francesca in Manchester 21:32 Body Language reading update 25:11 Amie's obsessed with Holy lol 29:03 First puzzle finished 32:01 Starting Buyer Beware 34:24 Dinner with Emma, Buyer Beware update 39:06 Buyer Beware halfway update and an audiobook warning 42:27 Family reading check in with Liz 50:07 I finished Buyer Beware and I am not okay 53:07 Starting Head Cases, DNF incoming 55:18 Second puzzle finished plus new bookish mail 57:55 Starting The Imperfect Murder 1:08:09 Final ratings recap 🔗 LINKS & STUFF: 📱 TikTok:   / whatmichaelareads   📸 IG:   / whatmichaelareads   FB:   / whatmichaelareads   📊 Storygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile... 🧃 HOLY Drinks - https://uk.weareholy.com/whatmichaela...
