What a great t shirt! 😊 Ok so the sweet valley high, I used to read them all the time when I was a kid. I got busted shoplifting them from the bookshop!!! Mum was so angry I stole but secretly proud it was books 😂

You guys are very charming.

I think I read The Mirror and the Light slower than the other two because I didn’t want to read what I knew was going to happen to Cromwell 😢. I believe my mum still has some of my collection of Sweet Valley High books Roy, it was basically responsible for every opinion I had about American teenagers as a kid😄

Hooray 🎉

What a fun video. I guess it might be time for me to jump on the Sweet Valley High bandwagon.

Like the mask🤿

I was worried when you tagged me in this that I’d said I was going to do it and I just didn’t remember. It does sound interesting though, so maybe…

You seem to have a Fabulous watch, looks like an Automatic. Please could share details please. Sorry to throw this at a random

The sweater fits. Looks good.

Oh dear, I think I may have to join. I haven't read Ulysses yet, but hopefully, that won't be a hindrance.

We're on and it will be an adventure. Love the way you introduce this.

Roy, you are amazing! I probably won’t join this challenge, but I am depending on you to educate me!

Should I read Ulysses first? I have 4 Joyce books, but have only read Dubliners so far.

That can only be Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners singing Finnegans Wake...

So Finnegan's Wake is the OG multiverse novel?

It sounds like a lot of fun, I look forward to hearing about it. Thanks for solving (for me) that titular apostrophe riddle. 🎉

LOTS OF FUN AT FINNEGANS WAKE! OY!

Wonderful, Roy! You are making this sound like quite the fun adventure. I almost feel ready...Thanks for this terrific intro!

Brilliant! What a great, well-thought-out first video regarding the _FW_ Group 🇮🇪 I'll make my announcement video ASAP. I am so psyched to get I to this w others. Thanks, so much, Roy, for kicking it off ☘ I adore (and have) Joseph Campbell's _Skeleton Key,_ as well as some RAW (Robt Anton Wilson) books 🎉

For anyone wanting to hear them read aloud, I’d recommend Simon Stanhope at Bitesize Audio. 👍🏼

Being a bit of a hard-core film buff, this is right up my ally. I have a rather sizable collection of books on films, novelizations, film magazines. I still have my textbooks from the film class I took in college. I look forward to your videos on this.

This book destroyed many lives. And sadly people are still following the bad advice the book promotes.

Fantastic announcement, weirdly I just picked up 4 sided triangle (not for FF though)

Beautiful Dr Jennie as always. Lovely poem, lovely reading. Enjoy your chat afterwards too 😊

Barbara Payton's biography, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, also reveals her many good qualities, including her immense generosity and talent in home decorating, gourmet cooking, furniture reupholstering, and poetry. Barbara deserves to be remembered for her strengths, as well as her many problems and failures, and I hope you will find she was a worthwhile human being who is still loved by her surviving family members and friends.

So apt, it's heartbreaking. Enjoyed your touching reading, Jennie, and discussion with @royreadsanything. Congrats on your Paxy!🎉

💙💙💙

I’m hoping for “I am not ashamed!” Fingers crossed 🤞

Love you, Dr. Jennie! I wish we could ring out the wild bells here in America, but unfortunately 😞

I love hearing Dr. Jennie read poetry no matter the subject. ❤

I've only heard the phrase "Ring out wild bells" referred to. Nice to hear the actual poem. And how great to get the Paxy Award for poetry!.

Actually, I thought you looked like Popeye in the thumbnail... And here I thought you were going to do Greta Garbo. I never heard of Barbara Payton. (I am a fan of old movies, just not B movies:)) Amazing that you could find so much material for tie-ins. I have several books to choose from -- on writers in Hollywood;, costume design in the movies; auto/biographies of Lillian Gish, Theda Bara, Frances Marion, Buster Keaton, Jeanne Moreau, Peter O'Toole; and Vivien Leigh & Laurence Olivier; and of course several books made into film such as those by Patricia Highsmith, Daphne du Maurier, Chandler, Hammet, Cornell Woolrich, Dorothy B. Hughes, Hemingway, Agatha Christie, etc.

What a laser-like focus for your February project!

Awesomely done, Dr Jennie! While I listened to you reading, the 9 p.m. bell started ringing from the St. James Catholic Church campanile about half a mile from where I'm living. Congratulations on the award! Well deserved.

People may think that was an accident, but it wasn't. Ron wanted to be seen!

Sounds fun. I'll read one or two books for prompt 1 and maybe something for another prompt

This sounds like a lot of fun!

Maybe I should put off my BACK TO THE FUTURE novelizations until Feb... 1:47

Sounds fun, maybe I'll fit it around Febregency.

Happy New Year!!

I saw Annie's announcement too, and I've got a book lined up for Filmtastic February.

This sounds fun, I’ll have to see what I can get into.

Best wishes for 2025. Lovely gifts on show especially those from Dave Breszki

Im going to look into getting that Pulp Tarot deck. I have similar feelings as Dr Jenny about how useful they are and this deck calls to me. 😊

What a lovely collection of gifts. Dr Jennie you look fabulous in that mask. I wish you both a fabulous 2025 😊

Dave Brzeski . . . hmmm . . . has anyone ever spotted Dave and Santa in the same room at the same time? Hmmm. I absolutely understand Dr. Jennie's fascination with pencils. Whenever I enter an office supply store and go along the aisles, I imagine all the creating that could be done with those pristine pens and pencils and blank books. Very nice gifts! Thanks to you lovely people for kindly sharing your Christmas (and Happy Birthday!) with us.

Jilly has a few tarot decks. Not that many really. Under 150!

I'm catching up on videos and just wanted to say I love that you are going to read Sweet Valley High. The series you picked is wonderfully bonkers in the best ways possible! I read them when they came out even though I had 'aged out' of the series at that point. I couldn't resist.

Happy New Year to you both. Never thought I’d be looking up the history of a specific pencil..
