2-for-1: Weekly Reading Wrap-Up and June Recap - all the things I read in June
I am reading Ruth so good to hear you thought it was good. Lady Windermere's Fan should be fun.
Sylvia’s Lovers has been a great read! I started it a week ago, I couldn’t wait till October 😂 I need to get my hands on Dickensland! I have never been to London but it’s on my bucket list.
I want to revisit Spenser and Milton soon. I should give The Pilgrim's Progress another go, I did love the poem at the beginning. I did not know a lot of the ones you pointed out had Christian themes, thanks for this vid!
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit shocked to see Emma St. Clair on your tbr lol
I want to read The Thursday Murder Club!!!
Sweater Weather series is fantastic!! Enjoy! My favorite, and it is hard, Courtney's entry. 😅😊
I JUST started Dracula and atmospheric is an understatement. So far, I am totally invested and loving it. If you want to chat, I'm always willing. 😊
Awesome reading plans!! I'm so curious to see what you think about Dracula!
I just discovered your channel, Anne, though I think we're friends on Goodreads! I'm looking forward to watching your videos on Ruth. I loved that novel! Dickensland sounds fascinating. Happy reading in October!
I'm planning on reading Dracula as well. I read an abridged version when I was in middle school but never got to the full length novel.
Great choices! I hope you can get through all of them. Happy reading!!
Sounds like a great list of books! EEEP! Can't wait to learn more. I need to pull out my plans as well. Great to be home where I can!
I'm hoping to get to a lot of them!
Fanny was nothing like a governess. Governesses were treated really badly. They had to eat their meals in the school room and were not allowed to interact with the rest of the family.They did not sit in the family palour or talk to the family except the Mother and the children. They could be dismissed at any time.
You may have taken my comment more literally than intended. I was just drawing a general comparison between Fanny's position in the Mansfield Park household and a governess's position. Governesses had a unique and very lonely position within the household where they were neither "upstairs" nor "downstairs". Sometimes they did spend time with the family, depending on the situation and the family culture. But they were never part of the family, always a bit separate in rank and status. Fanny was very much like that - being a ward, she was not (until much later in the book) considered part of the family, even though she sat with them and ate with them. She was very much other and separate. But neither was she a servant. Her placement within the family was nebulous and unsettled.
@@insearchofwonder - hmmm. She was more like a paid companion, but she as allowed to paly with Maria and Julia as a child and she had a strong bond with Edmund. He was her best friend. She was definately the "poor relation" but still had a secure position and people to talk to.
@@insearchofwonder - btw have you watched the movies? I was was very diappointed by both the 1999 one and the 2007 one.
@@TheMemoryPolice I agree about the companion aspect but I disagree that her position was secure, as evidence by the fact that her uncle sent her away when she refused what was, to him, an advantageous proposal. Until the end of the story, her position is entirely at the whim of the family. My whole point is that she is never seen as their equal. Even a paid companion was typically of the same rank of class, just in need of a home. Because of her father, she had no rank or standing. Anyway, the bottom line is this: her standing within the household was insecure because of her rank and lack of standing within the family. Edmund was the only one, until the end, who did not keep her at arms' length. I have only seen the eighties version, which was very true to the story but had some pretty awful videography!
I usually read Dracula each year, but I probably won’t get to it this year as I have so many others to read. So many readathons!
But you have a great plan for tackling them all!
My dad always used to say “Lord willing and the creek don’t rise”… ❤
Yeah, my mom would often say it, a little bit tongue in cheek.
You're right, October is wild on booktube😄
Wild is right!
I will do the buddy read!!
Do you mean Dracula? That would be awesome!
Yes!!
@@MamaKatFrog Sweet! What app do you have where we could discuss? I've used Goodreads, Storygraph, Instagram, and Voxer for buddy reads. Any of them will do the trick!
Not read Dracula yet (the ever expanding tbr). Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde I read recently and that was great. Best wishes.
Yes to the ever-expanding TBR! Every day! I've not read Jekyll and Hyde yet, but I do want to.
Victober is my top priority, too! I'm so excited that I've already started one! 😂I need to join the Spurgeon read along because I actually read him throughout the year already. It would be great to have others to share thoughts. Oh, Dickensland sounds great! I'm going to see if I can find a copy of that one.
Yes! Love Victober, it is also my top priority! The Spurgeon readalong will be great.
I agree, there's always so many good readathons and it's hard to pick and choose. I loved Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte 😍 I hope you enjoy it too! I actually read The Glass Town Game earlier this year, which is about the Brontes' stories actually coming true.
Oh, good to know about the Secret Diaries. I read Glass Town Game last year during Victober and I really enjoyed it. It's the only graphic novel (I've not read many!) that I genuinely enjoyed for itself. It was so well done.
I’m eager to see what you think of Dickensland. It has been on my master list for since it came out…
I'll definitely be sharing my thoughts once I've read it. Looking forward to it!
I remember doing a paper over Dracula in college. It was a very memorable read. I totally get wanting to do all the readathons! I plan on doing Anne-Tober this year! (Super excited!)
Yay for Anne-tober! I did it last year and it was so fun!
I still have to read The Thursday Murder Club!
You will love it! I've read the entire series, and I'm on pins and needles waiting for the movie to come out, hoping that it's even marginally as good as the book. They have Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan as main characters. The characters are so wonderfully quirky and work together so well in spite of their vast differences. It's just a fun read.
@_just_sherry_2759 I love to hear it! I got it from Libby months ago, but had too many books going on and didn't get to it. Sounds like a perfect fall read!
Maybe we can buddy read it and finally cross it off our TBR list!
@@insearchofwonder I would love that! Let me know!
@@Jess-pagesandgrace let's do it! Maybe about halfway through October we can start it? The victober group read goes through the 18th, so maybe we could start on the 19th?
Dracula is great!! I've not read Sylvia's Lovers yet but I own it. Yes! I don't read much poetry but I definitely want to read the book that has all of their poetry in it.
You can join our group, I'm sure! Miriam is organizing it.
Hi Anne! Oh my goodness I don't know how I missed this video and mention! I jumped on your channel thinking "I wonder what Anne's up to?" and then I saw it. Thank you so much! I love your answers and how you always make me chuckle - I think it has to do with your delivery timing or something, but it always makes me smile!
Oh I'm glad I make you smile! 😊
Catching up! Can’t wait to watch 🎉
Enjoy!
I love that Psalms book!
It is even better than I expected!
I need to get to Edith Wharton!
Yes - I don't know if you will like her, but you should definitely try one of her books and see!
Aww Anne thank you SO so much for including me in your list! You are also such a phenomenal woman!! Love you and your channel so much!💕🤗 I haven't read anything by Edith Wharton yet but I do have The House of Mirth on my physical TBR. You're making me even more excited to read Little Dorrit!
Little Dorrit has grown on me even more since I read it. It *might* be my favorite Dickens, possibly!
Wow awesome list! I turn 26 in November so I'm thinking of making a 30 by 30 list as I'll have 4 years to read the books.
You young thing, you! 😆Yeah, you can totally do 30 in 4 years. Go for it!
@@insearchofwonder 🤣🤣🤣
Surprise books are just the best! Great video :)
I agree! Any surprise mail is amazing. ❤️
Curious how you got on with the Tara Lush book. The bridge and groom looked lovely! Nice haul :)
Just filmed my clip for my upcoming wrap-up video. It was OK but I didn't love it. Didn't really hate it either!
@@insearchofwonder it was meh for me too 😁
The book about the tent meetings sounds very interesting! Especially the part about how they would tack on new choruses to the songs
It was very interesting!
I've never read the Brilliance of Stars but I'm actually listening to an audio book from this author right now called The Ice Swan! So far it's ok but I'm still undecided on whether I like it or not. 🤷♀
Well, from what I've heard, that is one of her better ones (I haven't read that particular one yet, so I don't know.).
I recently DNF'd it also, although I did so much earlier than you.
OK did you talk about it in a recent video? Because I remember someone talking about it, and it might have been you.
@insearchofwonder I talked about it in last week's video. I didn't like the interaction between Jack and Ivy from the get go.
Be glad you DNFed The Brilliance of Stars. 🙈
Oh? What happens later?!
Edith packs a punch 🤣🤣👀
That Edith! 😆
In search of a Prince 🔥💜💜I’m so glad you enjoyed it 💜as a someone who isn’t a romance reader it was quite enjoyable to read and the faith profound too💜
Yes! I love how Toni Shiloh really includes fantastic faith elements in her books.
I’m so inspired watching this video Anne 🥰
Oh good! Happy to inspire. 😊
😍😍the nature preserve is so beautiful!
It's so gorgeous! Too bad it's been rainy the past two weeks, and I haven't been able to enjoy it since i made this video. 😔
