It looks like you are going to have an amazing week!

I adore January Lavoie as a narrator <3

That's so exciting!!

omg im so happy for you!! love that journey for you too 💞

So glad you are joining us this round 🎉🌈📚

Hey Frannie, my last comment seems to have got to comment jail. I sent you a message about the next round of QLR on Insta and just wanted to give you a heads up because I don't know how often you check it. Also, Lady Killers sounds like something I'd read.

The coming up part at the start of this video gave me such a big giggle 🤣🤣

My grandma bought me most ardently but I’ve never read the original pride and prejudice would you recommend that I read the original before this book?

Ok if YOU like the spell shop I’ll give it a try. I’m always wary when these books get hyped but now I’m IN! This sounds so cute

Dragonfall was the book I read during Pride! Queer normative dragon book with angst and a non binary character and a dragon POV/love interest! 💕

🩵🩵🩵

I did not know about rain, and now I NEED to get to it asap. Zoe Thorogood's Its Lonely At The Centre of the Earth is one of the most bwautiful graphic novels I've ever read. You HAVE to read it, trust me!

Enjoy your reading!!

Fran, thanks so much for shouting out my channel amidst other queer booktubers. I’m proud to be queer all year! 🏳️‍🌈 I hope you aren’t really feeling so hard on yourself for only reading 2 out of the 24 you set for yourself as a challenge. If your challenge is making you feel bad, you can always reset. Throw that list out the window and celebrate all the books you DO read. 📚🤗

a bahn mi for two sounds soooo up my alley, how adorable!!!!

fran i also hate summer, u just get it HAHAHA

Grandissima Frannieeeee🎉 keep up the good work❤

Questo video con gli uccellini in sottofondo mi ha trasmesso un sacco di pace 💖🥺🐣🏳️‍🌈

Lumberjanes is so cute! I hope you enjoy them. And oh-my-gosh, Fran, I don't have the words to describe how excited I am for you to read In Defence of the Act. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it! 😀 This is a very ambitious TBR packed with loads of enticing reads. Wishing you much luck and joy with your reading. 💕

YAY 🎉🌈

Also read Most Ardently! Apart from those, I think though one thing that distracted me was that this book felt so London-centric in comparison to the original novel. It distracted me a bit especially how folks are easily transporting themselves to London and back while there have been no trains yet around the time period. But it also made me feel like the gay and trans representation became more city-centric. Jane Austen's writing thrived when it was mostly in the country with small sets of families interacting with each other provided most of the comedy and the drama. And I wanted to see that in this trans story and also in thinking about how we think about queer characters in this country-side setting. But once I got over that and switched my brain to "you know what, this is clearly self-insert and wish fulfillment and I shouldn't deny the author this" I started having a good time. Still though, it could have been better.

Sembra un libro meraviglioso, stavo per commuovermi mentre ne parlavi 🥺

What a lovely review, Fran! You make a compelling case for the importance of this book. I'm happy it's out in the world for those who need it. Very curious about the conflict you mention in Chapter 18. It's great to think of literature making its way into the world that teaches young people how to be open-minded in hopes of bridging the divide.

Make sure you share food with the poor and never lie reverse all lies ever told very important for us. . Who wasn't excited for nudity I wasn't excited anymore. Beautiful u were. If I could recall. Amazing make sure you share food with the homeless and never lie reverse all lies ever told very important. No nakedness excitment future. No vibe No WAY

Thank you so so much for the shoutout! 💛 I’m so excited that I’ve found your channel now, and I can’t wait to check out the other folks you shouted out 😊 yay queer booktubers!!

AHHHH omg ty for the shoutout!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Oh my goodness, Fran, thank you for that lovely shout! 💕 I love your rainbow sweater (if the gorgeous cover on Her Own Happiness were to manifest as a sweater, it would be the one you're wearing ☺). I'm very curious why your reading goal for the year is 84. That's such an interesting number. I'm glad your reading year is going well so far (a 4.2 average is amazing!). Everyone in This Room Will One Someday be Dead sounds like a book I need to read.

AWWWWW 1) I LOVE YOUR ENERGY 2) queer booktubers unite!! 🫶🏻 luv your adorable sweater 3) AUDIOBOOKS AS AN EXPERIENCE >>>>>> YESSS. U JUST GET IT. YAAAAYYY so glad to hear that your reading year is going well :’))) just subscribed, thank u for the shoutout and im so glad i get to binge your content backlist now!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I bookhaul mi trasmettono tanta serenità, li adoro 😍❤️

This is such a great haul! Glad you had such a great time growing your book collection while travelling 📚

Ho adorato l'ultima parte dove camminavi con gli alberi dietro, non so perché ma l'ho trovato super rilassante 😂❤️

Oddio Late Bloomeeeer voglio troppo leggerlo 💚💚💚💚

I love this so much

I really liked your review and agree on most points. I didn't really mind that it was quite similar to the original but that did make skim a few paragraphs I will check out the other book though. It sounds quite interesting

Non saprei scegliere il mio retelling preferito, perché ne ho letti tanti che mi sono piaciuti, però penso comunque che un retelling debba avere un giusto equilibrio tra l'opera da cui trae ispirazione e l'idea originale del* autor*. Se leggo un retelling mi aspetto di trovare diverse cose che mi ricordino che quello è un retelling ma voglio anche leggere una storia nuova ❤️

"just mayhem, and I'm here for it" 😂 Love it!

Sono troppo contenta che il libro di Lex Croucher ti sia piaciuto così tanto perché mi serviva un parere fidato e ora non vedo l'ora di leggerlooooo ❤

This is the review that has convinced me to read this book, this is also the video that got to subscribe! Can't wait to watch more of your content!

That book about Schitts Creek looks amazing! I read Gulp by Mary Roach and really enjoyed it. I would love to hear what you think of Stiff when you get to it.

im with you girl !!!!😊

hello.....love it here thank u!!!!! cheers to you!!!! have confidence girl !!@@@😊

Congratulations to you ❤

"Let me be straight, ok, even though I'm gay" 😂😂😂😂😂 Ok, ora passiamo alla domanda: che narratori di audiolibri ti sono piaciuti di più? Io ascolto audiolibri da qualche anno ormai e sono loro che mi fanno immergere nelle storie quando non posso leggere niente di fisico (cioè il 90% delle volte) Ovviamente ho dei narratori preferiti ma sono curiosa di sapere quali sono i tuoi. Intanto buon Anno anche a te "e alla tua signora" 😁🥰 P.S. Su Goodreads sono "Una Mamma che Legge" 😉👍

Omg how did I not see this video till now. This is so cute. Congratulations again ❤ I am 100% on board with doing read-alongs and I'm so excited for you to post regularly about queer books! So many queer books I have on my list are from past recommendations from you Also Yoga Tea is my favourite tea brand too!! For Christmas last year my partner imported a bunch of it and surprised me because we don't get it in Canada *cries*

Congratulations, such wonderful news! And yes, it sounds about right to spend the most money on the cake 🤩🎂

Congrats Frannie! Such lovely news!

Congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon! I am excited to see what books you get to this next year 😊

Omg. The readalong for HMRC is a brilliant idea; I have yet to read it, BUT, I might as well wait for your videos and do a chapter-by-chapter read so that I can talk about it with you in the comments. FYI (by the time this video's out you might already be aware of this) Human Rites comes out in 2025, but there's a prequel called Queen Bee coming out next year!
