Hi everyone! I'm here today with my sister
who joined me already a few months ago when we did the Harry Potter tag
and when we were in London.
And today we're back because we thought we're gonna play a little game.
So maybe you know the game two truths and one lie
like when you meet new people and you introduce yourself,
and you're like "Hi my name is Frede,
and I like books and I own an elephant," or something.
And so we thought we're gonna do this as a book edition,
so we both looked at our bookshelves and we
thought about four books that we have read
that the other person hasn't read and we're gonna talk
about those books and we're gonna tell two truths and one lie and
We're gonna have to find out what's the lie.
And then in the end we're gonna try to also do the same
with a book that both of us is read,
so we're gonna see how that works out.
I'm gonna start because this is my channel. [laughs]
And the first book that I chose is the book Damned
by Chuck Palahniuk. I read that three years ago,
so it's been ages since I read that
But basically this-
I'm going to read the Goodreads description
because I don't have my books with me
because we're at our mum's
and my books that are in my flat, so-
So the book description on Goodreads says
"The newest Palahniuk novel concerns Madison,
or she's also called Maddy in the book,
a thirteen year old girl who finds herself in hell,
unsure for why she will be there for eternity,
but tries to make the best of it.
I'm gonna read you three statements
and you're gonna say what's the truth and what's the lie.
Number one: Maddy meets Hitler and rips off his moustache.
Number two: Maddy sends tweets to Satan.
Number three: Maddy calls people from hell,
asking them stupid and annoying telemarketing questions during their meal times.
Well, I think the Hitler one is true because
it sounds too good not to be true [laughs] Basically.
Yes, it's a truth.
And yeah, I would say the tweets one is a lie
because like I could imagine people in hell like calling me while I'm eating so
[laughs]
I'm gonna say that the tweeting one is a lie. [ping noise]
Yes, that is true. The tweets were a lie.
If people nowadays go to hell they're like oh I could tweet here it's-
Is it really hell though?
You don't have Wi-Fi in hell. [laughs]
Okay, my next one is about the, I think it's called Gemstone Trilogy in English,
like in German it's Edelstein Trilogie,
which like translates to gemstone, so I think that's right,
and it's three books,
obviously, like gemstone.
Like trilogy.
Yeah.
Yeah that's what I meant [laughs]
I would say it's been a long day but it really hasn't so-
It's a book series by Kerstin Gier, it's a German author,
so I have all the books in German.
And it's about a girl called Gwendolyn,
or I think and the English version she's actually called Gwyneth,
um but like she's mostly called Gwen,
so I'm just gonna say Gwen because it's easier.
Um and she learns that she's actually a time traveller,
because that's a gene which is passed down in her family. So yeah,
that's kind of the plot, it's like young adult fantasy whatever stuff so yeah.
And my three facts are
Helena Bonham Carter is mentioned by name in one of the books
Gwen's cousin sings the song Paparazzi at some point.
Lady Gaga's Paparazzi?
Yeah, right Lady Gaga's Paparazzi.
And Gwen has a cat named Hermione because she's a big Harry Potter fan
What? [laughs] Oh dear, okay.
Okay, it was published in 2009,
When did Paparazzi come out?
I don't know probably 2009, because like The Fame,
but like there's three books so-
Okay so the questions are the- these things are all about the trilogy.
Yeah, they actually- like actually,
most of it happens in the last book which
was published a little bit later on.
I know that they sing the Time Warp in the film. Don't they?
I don't know.
Ahhhh [laughs]
I'm gonna say the Paparazzi one is a lie
because I think they sing the Time Hop in the film.
Nah, it's wrong.
Paparazzi's is in the books. Because
Ah okay-
Because like the Time Warp they actually sing in the second movie,
and they- like in the books she sings memory from the movie cats.
But they- I don't think they got the
license or something or maybe
because the actress wasn't that much of a great singer
so they put in the Time Warp,
which is a little bit easier.
And then third one which is this one um
her cousin sings Paparazzi at a party because she gets really drunk
So weird. Okay, then I'm gonna say-
I'm gonna say that Helena Bonham Carter is the lie,
[deep beep noise] Nah it's true. [laughs]
The cat is a lie.
Um because like Helen- Helena Bonham Carter is mentioned because she's like oh
I look like Helena Bonham Carter's character in Harry Potter. I look so angry or something like that.
Okay, so they do mention Harry Potter?
They do, yeah.
But like she doesn't have a cat.
Okay. Interesting.
Wow, YA is such a wild party.
My next book is a book that I read fairly recently,
which is called Iitterbug Perfume, and it's by Tom Robbins.
So you have two timelines,
it starts an ancient, Bohemia
around the time where Christianity comes up, a bit earlier I think.
And then you have another timeline in I guess the 70s or 80s, which is when this was written, in America.
and you have this this first timeline you have a man and a woman and
they want to be immortal, so they do rituals to be immortal.
And then in the modern day timeline you have
people who work on perfume who like-
what's that called? Perfume creator people.
Okay, so it's a really bizarre book.
I chose the weirdest books from my bookshelves that I could find.
Yeah, I've noticed.
So. Um the perfume that is mentioned in the blurb
was created so as to hide the stink of this goat god.
That sounds like something that would happen, so yeah.
Pris- Priscilla, who is a person in the modern day timeline,
wants to find the recipe for the perfect taco,
and number three: the immortality ritual includes singing for three hours a day.
[laughs]
Okay, um I don't think the first one is a lie
because like the first one and the last one they're like really-
like more mystical and more like immortality and a god,
so I have to say that the second one has to be true because
you wouldn't put something in there that's completely
different if it wasn't true. Like- Okay.
So the third one is a lie.
Why are you so intelligent?
Yes. [ping noise]
They have a lot of different immortality rituals,
but singing for three hours a day isn't one.
My next book is The Hobbit by-
J.R.R. Tolkien.
I'm sorry. Oh god. I probably offended someone right now.
Yeah, it's the Hobbit, or in German it's called the little Hobbit which is really cute.
It's a prequel to Lord of the Rings,
and yeah, and it's about
the Hobbit Bilbo who goes on a quest with 12 dw- 12 dwarves,
ah, hard word.
To reclaim the mountain and the treasure
that the dwarves used to own.
But it was stolen from the dragon Smaug.
But I think you saw the movies didn't you?
No. I saw Lord of the Rings.
I thought you saw the movies.
No. I'm not- I'm not gonna waste my time watching Martin Freeman.
I'm never gonna watch the movies.
Okay great. So my three facts are when Bilbo returns from his adventure
people actually assumed he was dead
because he was gone for so long so they started selling his stuff.
The second one is that Gandalf only appears in two scenes
one at the very beginning and one of the very end.
And the names of the dwarves are-
oh god I have to look it up, I wrote it down,
are Thorin, Fili, Kili, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur.
[laughs] Are you kidding me?
Can I read this please?
You can read it, yes.
I think you wouldn't come up with names like that,
and I think I've heard at least
Thorin and I think Fili and Kili as well.
So I'm gonna say that that one's true.
I'm gonna say that the first one is a lie,
that Bilbo- that people started selling Bilbo's stuff.
[deep beep noise] No it's true.
So the Gandalf thing is a lie?
Yeah. He technically is only at the beginning and the end,
but more than two scenes, so it's kind of like a technicality.
So we're gonna do the third one for me.
It's a book that I read in French,
but I'm not gonna talk about all that stuff in French.
Thank you.
It's called Métaphysique des Tubes by Amélie Nothomb.
It's about this small girl, I don't think she has a name,
I'm not sure. I don't think so.
Um and when she's first born she doesn't do anything,
she's kind of like plant.
She just just lies around, she doesn't cry, she doesn't do anything.
Like you can give her food, and she's like okay.
But she doesn't cry for food or anything.
Up to a certain point in her life, and that's kind of it.
And she's- she's a really bizarre kid and and she kind of-
she's able to speak when she's like 3 years old,
She's just like- [snaps finger] like that, and she can speak French and Japanese
without problem. So it's a really bizarre book.
Okay.
So my first fact about this is: as a really young-
as a really young child the narrator tries to drown herself,
the narrator only stops her 6-month crying fit,
like she cries for about six months at a time,
after eating chocolate.
Me. [laughs]
And the narrator is able to speak with fish.
Drowining yourself sounds really hard,
but that's why she tried maybe like-
like how old was she when she tried to drown herself?
Three or four.
But it was on purpose, she purposefully tried to do that.
It would kind of work with the she could speak to fish,
because like- but hmm
Which was the second one?
The second one was that she cried for about six months
at a certain time when she was about two-
Well that sounds great.
And then she had some chocolate and she stopped.
That sounds kind of legit.
I'm gonna say that she can't actually speak to fish.
[ping noise] I just can't lie.
That's true [laughs]
I just can't lie.
It's true.
My next book is by Agatha Christie, and it's called At Bertram's Hotel.
And I'm just gonna read the text because I think
murder mysteries are kind of hard to describe so yeah.
When Miss Marple comes up from the country for
a holiday in London she finds what she's looking for at Bertram's Hotel,
traditional decor, impeccable service, and memories of a childhood.
What she doesn't expect is the unmistakable atmosphere of danger
behind the highly polished veneer.
Yet, not even Miss Marple can foresee the violent chain of events
set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day.
So yeah, it's a really good book by the way.
Okay and now my three facts are:
Hercule Poirot, who is another detective in Agatha Christie's stories
makes a cameo appearance in the book.
The second one is that a police officer is referred to as father by the other people.
And the last one is that one of the main cast I would say,
or hotel guests, is a 17 year old girl
who's to become really rich when she comes of age
because she inherits her father's money.
That sounds so much like an Agatha Christie premise.
I'm gonna say that the Poirot one is not the truth.
Because yeah, I'm just gonna say that.
I'm actually right. Yeah, actually for some reason. I thought that was and
In that book is one. I don't know why I think I don't know so I just skimmed through it
Early on I was like quite hidden in this book and then I grew out
It wasn't they ever met and they didn't so yeah now we're on to the last books that only one of us is read
And my choice for that one is the accidental by Ali Smith and this book is about
A family who's on summer vacation and kind of a country in a vacation home
and
one day a woman appears her name is Amber, and she just arrived a bit home and
Because the family don't read speak to each other everyone thinks oh she knows this other person
So I can't remember the names
I think the mom's name is Eve for Eva Eve
And she's a writer and her husband is a university professor who?
Casually sleeps with the students and even knows that and then they have two children or maybe they're only used the children
I'm not quite sure he's actually the father, but they have the son who's about 16
I think who's called Magnus, and then they have another daughter who I imagined to be around 12. They'll make a play and her
name
Astrid sorry and then amber arrives in this situation everyone thinks oh
She knows this other person that would make a really really good play like playwrights get on it
Okay, so the first thing that I have here is
Amber destroys ask asteroids camcorder on purpose amber paints the family's London flat in a new color
Amber takes on the habit of having sex with Magnus in the town's to church
I also have to say I was about 30 and okay. I was about 16, okay
Well, that sounds like a truth since they don't really know story
I don't know why she would destroy it or why she would paint it, but like yeah
I think I think she paid she no she didn't paint yeah. Yeah, that's true
She did something to that flat, but it wasn't painting all right yes
You're right. Did I get everything right?
yes, I
Just can't like that's the problem my next book is
It's called centre of the world I think in English in German it's give me to die veg and
Yeah, it's German unoriginal II so I have it in German by
Andrea Stein who and it's an coming-of-age story about a boy named Phil who grew up with this
Sister his twin sister and his mom the dad left
Left left their mom when she was still pregnant, and yeah, we watched the movie to that book
Earlier last year laughs. Yeah last year all right, so you know something about it, but
not everything um
Yes, it's a nice book. I think
You don't like it, so yeah, I couldn't get into it
I started reading it, but the writing style was too much this typical way writing style just go into it. I was just born
To be honest around when I was like 14 or something I still like it
okay um
Felt best friend is the principal's daughter
the first fact my technique factors that Phil and his boyfriend are called skinny dipping at night and
The last one is that the first boyfriend who's called Nicholas by the way
that Nicholas is shot in the eye with an air gun and
Therefore loses eyesight on that
I now saw the film so judging from that I would say that the skinny-dipping is true
I would say that
His best friend is the principal's daughter is the truth?
So what the shot should be I said the eyes why
I
Said why's the lie?
The lives of skinny-dipping every day yeah his his sister and a friend of hers were caught skinny-dipping while may be full of Nicholas
Once we need to think I remember they were in court it's gonna. Take me at night. I can't much. I'm sure so yeah
So now we're on to the books that both of us have read let's do that for the win because
Realistically you couldn't win anymore, so let's say that one is
10 points in my choice is a German children's book
which
is called removal and that's really unfair because
The last time I like reddit who can't even say that is for men or mother read to us
So talk about fairness
Yeah
I'm gonna talk about that book by the way in an upcoming video about my favorite books of my childhood so keep your eyes out
For that I'm gonna be talking about that book right now
so this book is basically about this girl called mama who suddenly arrives in a little town and
She's kind of like a very sweet person. She's alone she's
accompanied by Toto and she's
All the children love her the the adults feel very comfortable very calm around her and then one day a group of
men in gray who have like grey suits and gray skin and gray hats
And they smoke gray cigars they arrive and basically the these gray men want to try to
steal the people's time and
MooMoo eventually
visits or meets this person called master
hoorah
It sounded like hob was like just like you know the hour like that kind of editor. She meets that guy and
they talk about that plan how to
defeat those men and gray and
Master ho
Says that he is going to sleep, and then the time will stop that's my first fact when he sleeps
the time will stop oh
My second burger is that the story?
Is set in a small town in Italy I think that's true?
And my third fact is that the men in gray smoke cigars made from people's time I?
Think that Italy wanted to rethink I remember that and I
Know that they steal their time, but I
Don't remember any of the that must hold up
But I still remember that he existed and that like her torch voice had something to do with him
I think food. I'm gonna have to say that the first one is a lie that he sleeps in that. Yeah, oh
Really, and then the one that with the big R, right
What yeah?
Not in Italy in there. It's not it's a little
Town without a name, and it looks a bit like Italy
But it's never explicitly mentioned that it's Italy
Like there's a TV series a kind of a Cotuit series that used to be on TV that we used to watch
Yeah, it looks like Italy yeah. It's not set in Italy at least explicitly
Alright my last book is Harry Potter like we did the Harry Potter challenge
It's gonna be linked in in the description below
Push it out for the houses watch it. If you haven't seen it. It's pretty good
It was a lot of fun doing that it was
so yeah Shane was plugging and
Yeah, I don't think I have to summarize Harry Potter do either I have three facts for you
The other are lock hurts favorite color is forget-me-nots blue rita skeeter has three golden tea
And I rubella fake broke her leg when she cooked over one of her cats
Character based on those ones yes
I
Think the one with low-cut is true
I think I remember that because it's not been so long, but every record are they all sound like true
it was dumped there, right ah
Didn't mrs. Fig. I know that you broke her leg
But did she break it one tripping over her cats. I'm gonna say that the rita skeeter one of the live
I'm sorry mrs. Fig. One is a lie
Fuckin Christ really favorite colors lilac you
Should know that I
Good there was actually a quiz and like forget me the blue was an option, and I was like okay
I think that's the right one. They clicked on ignores like no. It's it's not true
Why do we think?
Because like in one scene where he's um. I think in the first thing. He's seen he wears a forget-me-not blue
Cape or something like that so I think that kind of stuck with us as I mean like
Lockard seems like the kind of person who would be like really particularly yeah, my favorite color forget-me-nots blue
Okay, Wow
Everything I lost signai
Yeah, pretty sure did I get any point? Yeah? Good one point? I got the Agatha Christie one right? I got one point and you
got full right
Okay, my camera battery is flashing. We're done with this game. This is going to be a hell to edit. I'm already annoyed
This was a lot of fun filming wrong
And if you have any friend or sibling or partner or whoever it is comfortable sitting in front of the camera
Do that they're doing fun. It's a lot of fun. You can get angry, and I'm gonna have fun
So do that game tell me if you do it. I'm gonna watch it
It was a lot of fun to do this with you today
Thank you for watching, and I will see you when I studio bye
