Beautiful summaries. Also, thank you for sharing the video of your city, that was so special!❤️
Thank you Vicki! Oh, this is my want-to-live-in city, I live (not that I am complaining 😉) by the sea.. stay tuned from more 🙏🏻 💕
Great Haul! Thank you for taking us around, that was lovely!
Thank you Emily! BTW, I sent you an email a few days ago to confirm a couple of details 😉💕 Happy New Year in the meantime 🎆
So many cool finds! I like the idea of the book swap place, although I would probably come empty handed most of the time! 😅 I’m so happy you will be joining the Diversity Book Bingo Challenge, thank you so much for sharing about it! And I love seeing your channel grow as well, we all know it’s not about the numbers, but it’s still fun to see and a good reason to celebrate! I love Italy so much as well, I can’t wait to go back! Thank you for sharing some piazzas!
Thank you Ellen, I am always so lucky when I visit that book-crossing, this was my third visit and I always find something new and interesting to me, the recycling is incredible! I look forward to share more of where I live and my travels around Italy and USA (my two homes).. Hope you can visit here soon! Happy New Year and can't wait to start adding books to the DBBC 🥰
Wonderful December books, Daniela. Thank you, too, for the footage of your city. I love these videos!
Thank YOU Pat! Oops, I forgot to mention Udine is not my town, but would definitely love to live there because of all the cultural events.. I live by the sea, will soon share more scenery of where I live 💕
@ I think I realized that, too, after I left my comment. I will look forward to seeing more of your actual town by the sea!
@@BookChatWithPat8668 your wish is my command 😘🌟
Ciao Daniela, che belle le immagini di Udine! E molto interessante la Diversity Bingo Challenge, proprio nelle mie corde, grazie!!! Happy 2025 readings!💕❤️💕
Ciao Mirella, sì è proprio interessante Il Diversity Bingo Challenge... io mi sono creata una bozza per lavorarci su Canva.. ti mando su Whatsapp l'immagine per farti vedere come l'ho impostata... Poi, ecco il nome dell'altra autrice indiana di cui ti parlavo, con il personaggiol'avvocata/investigatrice.. i libri di Sujata Massey... Buone letture anche a te 💕😘
Grazieeee 😘
Ciao Daniela, come mi piace quando ci mostri degli scorci dei posti che visiti! Sono sicura che "Shantaram" ti piacerà moltissimo. È un libro impossibile da dimenticare! Buona domenica e grazie della compagnia 🥰
Ciao Azzurra, oramai sono sicura di perdermi piacevolmente in Shantaram.. molto presto 💕 Buona domenica a te e grazie sempre per il tuo affetto! 🧡
Lovely intro. I am here via Book Chat With Pat. So glad she sent me your way!
Oh sweet! Thank you and welcome Vicki! 💕Happy start of 2025!
Hi Daniela, 👋🏽 I really enjoyed your answers to this tag! I'm glad we found each other's channels this Christmas 2024. Looking forward to following along in 2025. 🫶🏽✨
Hi Mariandrea, thank you! I'm also looking forward to stay connected in 2025! Consider yourself tagged if you'd like to do this tag.. 😊
I think you'd like the movie, The Shop Around the Corner (1940), Ernst Lubitsch (1940). "The Lubitsch touch", I think it's called. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Ciao, Daniella.
Thanks Jimi! I've heard of The Shop Around the Corner movie but I don't think I've ever seen it.. But checked James Stewart is in it.. used to love him as a kid watching old Hollywood movies. Thanks for the tip, I hope I can find it and watch it soon. Ciao 👋
Brava! I loved this vlogmas, the festivities bring out such mesmerizing art, thanks for sharing! I'm really looking forward to our beautiful tag. 🥰🥰🥰
Grazie Emily! Always fun to stroll around nativities.. love art in all his shapes and forms. Can't wait for January 3rd! 🥰 Buon Natale!
Hi Daniela! Lovely tag -- I love the clips around your neighbrohood. Lots of festivities where you are 😍 I'm also not a Christmas person either but I think your video is awesome, not a grinch as all 🧡 Love all your answers and your enthusiasm!! The snacks you show look so delicious, I just want a bite so I might look for some around to have a taste of it 🤤
Thank you Mimi! I am happy you enjoyed scenery from my town this season.. When possible I love to share a bit of scenery wherever I go... I am definitely an enthusiast at heart, I think we share the same attitude as I found your video sparkly too! And I look forward to see more! I think you should be able to find Panettone and Panforte anywhere you are.. it is quite a popular exported product 😉 Good luck on your quest! XOXO from Italy
Came by way of Meg, who tagged both of us. Hello, from New Zealand and a fellow book tuber. Subbed for support, and I look forward to seeing your content - especially with your walks out and about! North Carolina and Italy!! Best, Mark.
Hello Mark, welcome.. nice to meet you! Amazing how booktube can connect us from around the globe! I lived 15 years in California and go back a couple of times a year.. mostly steady in Italy... but I hope I can also vlog from Paris too now and then, it is my absolute favorite city in the world 😉 Happy Holidays!
Hi Daniela, bellissime le immagini dei presepi di Grado, mi hai fatto venire voglia di fare un giretto! Grazie e Merry Christmas!💫🌲💕

Ciao Daniela, la libreria del Gattile riaprirà a marzo, comunque ci aggiorniamo presto😘
@@mimibooklover Allora sarà per un'altra volta... a Marzo c'e' Kader Abdolah a Pordenone!! Imperdibile..
Certo, see you there!
This is such a fun tag! I just posted my video for it. Thanks for creating it! I'm not familiar with the book Uncommon Reader - will have to check that out since it's your favorite! Class Trip sounds intriguing. I'm with you - Catherine and Heathcliff are both awful! It's such a dark, depressing novel - no redemption or hope! I never read Anne of Green Gables as a child - just read it about 10 years ago! (but I loved it, of course). I've heard such good things about Claire Keegan's novels. Count of Monte Cristo is the perfect pick for "cold and calculating"! I enjoyed hearing your holiday memories. I have also lost a lot of family members. And thanks for creating this tag! I'm glad it brought me to your channel :)
Hello Sue! So glad you enjoyed doing our tag.. Watching your video as I am responding to your note.. An Uncommon Reader is a short fun novel, I hope you enjoy it! I am so glad I found another reader who didn't enjoy Wuthering Heights 😉 Warm Holiday wishes from Italy.. it's always bitter sweet as we miss our loved ones 💕 Happy we connected via this tag 💫
Thank you so much for the lovely look at the nativities!
Thank you for stopping by! 🙏🏻 Happy Holidays 💫
Wonderful video! I am so glad Pat pointed us your way!
Thank you so much Essie! Pat is a BookTube treasure 💕 Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas! Great video! You are not a Grinch!
Thanks so much Meg, you're sweet! Merry Christmas to you, I am looking forward to explore your channel 🤩
@ And I yours! Merry Christmas!
Hi Daniela.What a beautiful video! I love all of the nativity scenes that you have included at the beginning and ending of the video. Magnificent! I sort of collect miniature nativities, so this video felt like an extra-special gift. Thank you, my friend. Sending you much love this Christmas season!
Dear Pat, so glad you enjoyed.. It used to be a tradition doing the Nativity with my favorite aunt as a child. We'd go to the woods for moss and she had very old nativity scene figurines we'd set up together. Lost her way too soon, one of the reasons why Christmas is not an easy time for me.. I appreciate all the love sent my way! I reciprocate with my warmest cheers to you 💕
@@Uncommon_Reader Oh, I love that this is a tradition that you shared with your dear aunt. I'm sorry that you lost her so early. The holidays can be so difficult because of our losses. I feel them acutely at this time of year, too. I will pray that you feel, in some way, the presence of your loved ones in your heart and memories even as they are no longer with you physically.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 So true. Each year is harder but we have the memories to hold on to and I like to imagine them happy in a different dimension ✨
Ciao Daniii!! Che belle le immagini della tua città!! 😻 Grazie della condivisione!!
Grazie a te Stefania! Buona neve! ❄️ ⛰
Ciao Daniela, oggi lavoro mezza giornata e poi sarò in ferie fino al 7 gennaio! Ho quindi intenzione di leggere moltissimo 😊 Stamattina ho terminato V13. Non ho ancora deciso cosa leggerò...ho un sacco di libri che mi chiamano! Penso che sceglierò "Il dio dei boschi" di Liz Moore. Dovrebbe essere un romanzo/thriller. Me lo hanno regalato in ebook e ne ho sentito parlare molto bene. Un grande abbraccio...gli auguri te li faccio domani😘
Ciao Azzurra, bè, V13 non proprio un libro natalizio 😉 Ho sentito parlare del libro di Liz Moore, mi dirai... a domani e buone ferie!!!
Hi Daniela, I added "Address unknown" to my never-ending wishlist!😂 Happy reading💕
That's great Mirella, it's such a quick read! Have a great wednesday and happy reading to you 💕
Hi Daniela. I once again tried to tag you and another booktuber, Ellen, and both of your channels did not highlight. I told Ellen about it, and she was able to go into her settings and fix the problem. She told me where she found that her mentions had been turned off. I might be able to tell you what she did. She was able to fix it, and now she is highlighted. You are still not highlighted in a video that will post later tonight, but you are tagged. Let me know if you want me to tell you what Ellen did.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 you are the best Pat! I’d be happy to give it a try!
@ ok. Ellen said she went into her setting on her You Tube home page, on the page where she watches from, not on You Tube Studio. Settings are on the left all the way down on the bottom, way down under where subscriptions are listed. In settings there are Privacy settings. It may be listed as Privacy or as Integrity. In there, she said somehow her setting that allows people to mention her had gotten turned off. Once she turned it back on, I was able to re-enter her name, and it became highlighted. It might be worth a try to check that out.
@ that’s the first place i look at before, the mention settings were ON on my profile looking through my computer but i checked my phone profile now from the UA-cam app and there it was turned OFF! So hopefully now it works? 🤞🏻
@ I will go back and try to tag you and see what happens!
I just put your name in again and it’s highlighted!! Hooray!!🥰
I love the glasses and hair bun! You look like a super librarian!
Thank you! I'll sign up for that 😉
Ciao Dani!! Hai portato ottimi esempi di come il numero di pagine non sia indicativo della qualita del contenuto di un libro..😻
Ciao Stefania! Grazie 🙏🏻
Jack London is one of my favorites also! My favorite book of his is The Mutiny of the Elsinore.
Thank you Erick! I'll add that to my list. Jack has still many fans. So great to hear!
Ciao Dani! Sempre carini questi tag, anch’io non avrei saputo dare nessuna risposta negativa a queste domande, mi sono sempre trovata bene nei posti che ho frequentato! Ciao un abbraccio
Ciao Stefania, mi fa piacere che anche tu abbia avuto solo esperienze positive. Grazie per la tua condivisione. Un abbraccio a te!
Ciao Daniela, ti segnalo il canale Voltare Pagina di Manuela, una bravissima booktuber che vive a Parigi 😊 Ti ricordo, inoltre, "Figlio del lupo", di Romana Petri. Parla dell'amato Jack London. Buona serata 😘
Ciao Azzurra, grazie per la segnalazione 🥰 Hai fatto bene a ricordarmi del libro della Petri che mi devo segnare.. sai a volte poi uno si dimentica 😅 specie io che ho una certa età 🤭 Un abbraccio!
We have the same sweater, I love that for us--thank you for the tag! You should meet with Maria from Strange Lucidity while she is still in Paris.
Thank you Emily, I'll check her out as I am actually in need of some Paris time.. 😉 I love Diane Keaton style by the way 😊
@Uncommon_Reader Dido 😃
Loved Recycle when I lived in Campbell!
Hi Margaret! I have been there a couple of times! I didn't realize it was a chain! Dah!
@Uncommon_Reader I don't think it's a chain--Campbell, CA is the only location I've seen it, and it's right near San Jose!
@@MargaretPinard yes, they are pretty close. They share the same name though, next time I visit I'll ask 😉
The Cruise of the Snark was a great find!
Indeed @theaelizabet, and after reading John Barleycorn, I want to read this one in 2025! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for tag !! We adore used book stores !! 🎉🎉
Hurray for used bookstores! 💕
Hi Daniela. I have been trying to tag you on the Christmas Joy tag that I posted today, but for some reason, your channel name isn’t coming up and so your name doesn’t get highlighted. I’m not sure why this is happening as I’ve definitely tagged you before. Lovely job with this tag! And thank you for tagging me too!😊
Hello Pat, I had issues tagging Ellen from Sweden as well today, so perhaps there's some mysterious glitch to blame. Glad you wrote because I was looking for that Hemingway video on your channel and couldn't find it.. would you mind sharing the link with me on this thread? Thank you! And thank you for stopping by and tagging me here on the Christmas Joy tag, I will certainly respond soon 💕
@ it’s very weird. I tried on both my laptop and my phone, and I can’t get your channel name to highlight. I have to go back and find where we were discussing Hemingway. I think it was on one of your videos.
Ok. We were discussing Hemingway on your “I’ll Get Around to it Later” tag video. I haven’t made a Hemingway video. I was just discussing my experiences with him in your comments.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 same thing happened to me today with another channel.. hopefully it will just be this time, and thanks for letting me know.. 💕
@@BookChatWithPat8668 so I misunderstood, I thought you said you had discussed your reading experience in a video 😊 that's why I could not find it
Ciao Daniela, non ho ancora letto niente di Jack London, ma ho in libreria Martin Eden e mi ripropongo finalmente di leggerlo il prossimo anno, vista anche la tua predilezione per questo autore🤗 Buona lettura e buon weekend 💕
Grazie Mirella! Ah, spero sia amore anche per te con Jack London.. un abbraccio e buon weekend!
I’ve only recently discovered your channel (and loving it!), so I’m perusing past videos. I’m interested in reading Carrere.
Thank you for the support and welcome @theaelizabet 🙏🏻 Glad to hear you got curious about reading Carrère. Let me know if you do 😊
Thank you so much! As a kid in the 1960's, I grew up in Oakland, just off Park Boulevard, and I remember going to Jack London Square many times. My grandparents lived only a few blocks from it. But not until later in life did I begin to read his books, and like you, he is one of my favorite authors. The novel of his that I enjoyed the most is "The Sea Wolf". Oh My God, what a story. Have you read it? If not, I would strongly recommend it. I just ordered this Pictorial Biography that you mentioned and can't wait to get it👍🏼 Thanks again for all of your content.
Thank you so much for your comment. I haven't read The Sea Wolf yet, but I will ask Santa for it this Christmas 😉 With time, I will definitely purchase all his books. I am so thrilled you ordered the Pictorial Biography I just showed in the video! I lived in the SF Bay Area for 15 years but only recently fell in love with Jack's writing so everytime I visit now I am on the hunt to discover his landmarks. Have you ever visited the Jack London Historical Park?
@@Uncommon_Reader No, I have not visited the Jack London Historical Park, but I would like to one day. I moved away from the Bay Area at about age 10 or so, to the American Midwest, and have only been back there a time or two. My wife and I travel a lot now that we are retired, and have given thought to driving up the Pacific Coast Highway some time. And when we do, we will definitely be close enough to stop there and visit. Regarding his novels, another favorite of mine is 'Martin Eden'..... very very good, and also very biographical I think. Thanks again👍🏼
@@Boxer309 The Pacific Coast Highway is definitely a must, I hope you and your wife get to enjoy it very soon. I loved Martin Eden and reading Jack's biography I was shocked at the many references with his life (although I think Jack's life is even more adventurous!)
Ciao Daniela, sono anch'io una grande appassionata di Jack London e ho acquistato le "Memorie alcoliche" in ebook. Le leggerò prossimamente. Grazie ai tuoi consigli, sto leggendo "Ardore" e mi sta piacendo moltissimo. Mi fai sempre scoprire belle letture! Un abbraccio e buon weekend 🪻
Ciao Azzurra, sono felice di averti intrigata con questo libro di Jack London. Ardore lo inizierò presto, appena finisco Malacarne.. Un abbraccio a te, buon weekend e buone letture 💕
Bellissimo tag Dani!! Mi sono appuntata le domande! 😘
Ne sono felice Stefania, anche a me è piaciuto moltissimo questo tag 💕
Thanks so much for the tag! Love that copy of Peter Pan! 😮
Yes, truly precious! Thank you guys!
Ciao Dani, non ho mai letto Buzzati, mi sprona molto il tuo video! Grazie! Sempre bello questo format! Un abbraccio
Ciao Stefania! Grazie! Ti ricorda qualcosa questo format 😉? Un abbraccio 🥰
Hi Daniela, thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it! Bella anche la parte su Trieste con i riferimenti a Joyce e Svevo; io quest'anno ho letto "La vita dell'altro: Svevo, Joyce: un'amicizia geniale" di Terrinoni, un racconto interessante sul loro rapporto. Happy reading!💕
Ciao Mirella! Avevo anch'io preso in biblioteca La Vita dell'Altro e poi non sono riuscita a leggerlo... non conoscendo molto i due autori non ero molto motivata.. 😉Glad you enjoyed the video! Happy reading to you 🥰
Hi Daniela. I loved this video. What a great idea for a monthly series. I really enjoyed hearing about Azar Nafisi, and I also really loved hearing about (and seeing) your visit to Trieste and hearing about James Joyce's life there.
Good morning Pat, thanks for stopping by! I am glad you enjoyed! I visit Trieste a few times a year so I will be making more videos, there is a statue dedicated to Joyce I haven't filmed yet.. and many more literary sightseeing.. Trieste has quite an important history mixing different cultures therefore very open minded...
@@Uncommon_Reader how wonderful! One of the last words of both Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses is "Trieste" as Joyce spent such a huge part of his adult life there. He may have been writing about Dublin, but he did so from Trieste and Paris! I will look forward to your future videos set there. What a remarkable city.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Thank you! 💕 I plan to share more of my beautiful region, Friuli Venezia Giulia
@@Uncommon_Reader I will look forward to that!
Che bello questo video con le pillole del mese! Spero tanto che diventi una piacevolissima consuetudine. Grazie della compagnia ❤
