Mary Beard's _Confronting the Classics_ has some very interesting content that follows on, in a way, to Everitt's _Augustus._ I'm tempted to re-read the last few chapters of it.

Golden Compass seems very interesting. 🙂

Hi Denise. 0:12 I had a gut feeling lately, telling me something was missing. Last night I figured what it was, looking over your channel. 😄 1:40 That's a very interesting subject. My initial thought was that American history is taught at greater lenght in America, compared to Europe. But now I am thinking, how do americans teach European history. 😀 2:39 Interesting book indeed. 3:53 That App will serve very useful in a couple of years. For now my personal library isn't that big. Thanks for sharing that! 🙂 12:05 Volume 37? Sounds exiting, I wonder how I haven't come across it, I guess Google isn't showing me the whole picture. Anyhow I found a large series, "Fathers of the Church" by the Catholic University of America Press. It's a huge collection, which I dream of having at some point, to some extent. 16:19 That'll be s nice start for my black history section. Thanks Denise. 24:27 At first I thought that book was a monstrosity, becayse of it's size. But seeing it's a Art book, makes sense. Good on you for purchasing it, the art is lovely. 😀

I think they should have done two seperate books. Volume 1 & 2. But I am sure it’s had great content which is what matters the most.

I really enjoyed the Wolf Hall trilogy. Harry Potter is comforting. Your cat is beautiful. 😊

Denise, I love how much thought and care you put into your reading life! From prepping your book spines (which, honestly, is next-level dedication) to annotating with such precision, your approach is both meticulous and deeply engaged. Also, your take on The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory really hit-there’s something unsettling about watching people warp faith into something unrecognizable. And Redwall-what a fantastic comfort read! Hope your journey through the medieval and early Renaissance shelves is as rewarding as it sounds. Looking forward to seeing what you pick up next!

I'm glad you found the tag! Really interesting answers to both. And I think we have some similar reading habits funnily enough. Which is nice! I have subscribed. Particularly things like one book or several, and stopping after a chapter... I did that last night and went back to the new film _Django._ (for 10 minutes). You highlight the whole issue of plot, and "don't tell me the ending!" I am constantly amazed with introductions to classics. In short I don't even look at them at all nowadays. To be fair there is the issue of drawing our attention away from the storyline towards meaningful points and deeper things if present, but that sells the reader a little short in our reading skills and abilities, imo at least. Giving the plot away in a movie however!!! Verboten! quite possibly scene from _fish called wanda_ time, out the window... with warm regards,

Good spine prepping tip! Thanks

17:08 Cool tip. As I didn't do this on my first couple of books, and their spine are... ah, how to put it, not matching their age? 😄

Hello, I just found your channel thanks to Kevin. I've got the John Adams book on my TBR for later this year... probably September and October. I'm reading all the McCullough books in the order they were published. Right now I'm reading about the building of the Panama Canal. 🚢

I own the same John Adams book by McCullough!

Hey Denise. Thanks for doing my tag! Its nice to meet you and your channel. I have truly met so many book lovers and BookTubers. I am now a new subscriber! Enjoyed your picks, some all the books i have never heard of but sound very intriguing! I believe Wolf Hall is one i have heard of, and Yes Harry Potter! Jim Dale does an amazing narration of Harry Potter! I have heard of Redwall but haven’t read any yet. I hope you have a great week, and again, nice to meet you!

12:57 True, negativity/stress is like poison, if someone drinks from that cup, we shouldn't join into drinking it too regardless if we think are right. I read somewhere in my Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that us humans perceive more the body language than what's actually being said. For example if someone speaks in anger, envy, etc... The solution that I found, even though I only attained a small fraction of it and for a short time, is to practice self-detachment and mortification of the senses. That leads us in time in being unaffected by the situations we may face. Again although I speak of it, I haven't managed to keep it for long. I hope to get at it again someday. Congratulations on completing your Harry Potter House Edition, Ravenclaw series. Thanks for sharing with us your book picks. I added some to my wishlist. 🙂

San Diego county ; 🔥 6 simce 1/22.😮

Has California always experienced fires like these in the past?

love the video . i think you would be amazing at asmr you should definitely try it ❤️

You've got quite a collection of bookmarks. 😄 I too sometimes make paper bookmarks because of the same issue you've mentioned, especially on really thin paper books. Also, 3:41 have you managed to make any? I imagine the trouble would be buying the sort of colours that don't bleed through, or maybe a finish spray, so that the colours don't end up on the book pages. I sometimes contemplate decorating ( illuminated style), pages on some of my books. Unfortunately, they have too thin pages for me to do that. But it'd be cool. 🙂

Just recently came across your UA-cam channel. Love your content and the easygoing laid back way you present it, instant subscriber. Fellow book lover here who shares similar bucket list goals. Hope to visit as many major, and not so major, antiquarian used bookshops as I can across the country Strand, Brattle, etc. I dream of what it would have been like to shop all the bookshops of yesteryear like those on Book Row, the old world shops in London, the bookstalls in France, and others the world over. Remember, its not hoarding if its books! Lol

Good luck with your semester! I wasn’t too keen on Closing of the American Mind either.

It's good to hear you're all well and back to normal. 10:18 It surprises me how some sellers don't grasp the need of using packaging paper/airbags.

Being a recent new subscriber, glad y'all safe. Have a fabulous school term ❤ thoroughly enjoy your channel.

Very interesting books. Added all of them to my wishlist.

Great finds!

Terrible what's happened there in California. I hope you are well and that you have been spared the four days power cut your neighboring town had to endure. So many interesting book picks. I added many to my own wishlist for future reads. Thank you for sharing them with us. 7:45 Me too! 😄 I am really interested in your thoughts on the Ignatius Critical Editions book. 9:15 That is beautiful indeed.

Stay safe!

Hi Denise, I don’t usually read books like you reviewed, but your discussion was very interesting. I haven’t heard Plato and the great philosophers discussed since college. i’m not sure what I believe about near death experiences, but there are many so there must be some truth to them. Aloha friend.

Wow sounds like you have a beautiful family and had a wonderful holiday. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting library haul! Happy reading!

10:17 this reminds me of the dutch Sinterklaus. Which happens to be a spanish Roman-Catholic biship, riding on a white horse, and sailing to the Netherlands in a steamboat ship. 😄

Thank you for that.

Happy new year!

The Penguin books look cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for them!

Great answers to this tag. Happy Holidays! Usually, whenever I tag someone I always let them know by posting a comment in a recent video they did so that way they know when to watch the video I tagged them in. Also, I let them know who created the tag.

Terrific video, Denise. I especially love all of your books on the Penguin Classics. I've been doing a deep dive lately into videos about the Penguins, and so I'm delighted to see these books. Wonderful resources!
