Thank you Miriam! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!! Have a lovely Thanksgiving (if you celebrate)!💕

Thank you! I bought that book for my husband one year and he loves it and now collects editions of it! Have a great Thanksgiving!!🦃

Thank you so much Hanna! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!🦃🧡!

Thank you!!

Hi Punita! I think I felt the same! I still have not read Call of the Wild. I share your love for animals and the expectation of having to read a book that might have a little animal cruelty is so off-putting! But I found White Fang rather worth it. Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment to wake up to in the morning!! 💕

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching and giving it a comment!!!! Have a lovely evening!

thanks, you too!

Jessica I am so glad to hear that!!! Thank you so much for saying so!! Lovely message to get when I wake up in the morning💕! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving too!🦃

Hello! Im so happy you enjoyed it!!! Well I only read White Fang a couple of years ago for the first time, and I really need to get Call of the Wild under my belt-I hear it’s even better! I’m so glad there is someone else out there who enjoys the Santa on the float! It’s the best!!! Have a lovely Thanksgiving 🦃🧡🍂

Oh and THANK YOU so much for always commenting such an uplifting message!!

@@WaterBearReads you too!💞

I know LOL! I really should have explained it earlier!!!🥰

Thank you! 🧡Which book was it that you were training to get through? Was it Charlotte’s Web? That’s another one I struggle with!

Hi Celeste! Thank you…I purchased that mug last year on my trip to Concord! I will write more in reply later…we are driving down to NYC right now…so will be in your state for a few days!

@@WaterBearReads Have fun!

Hi again! Yes! I take no sugar but lots of cream but it must still be hot! I love that Beehive Books version! It was a birthday gift from James a couple of years back I think. Ha ha I love your Sotho! I plan to read Dumas Nutcracker next month, but I wouldnt mind reading others next year as well!

@@WaterBearReads Exactly! Lots of cream but hot. I think I must warm up my coffee at least 4 times while drinking. : ) By the way, loved the back-story of how you and James met. Have a great time!

@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366 ha ha I do the same!!

Thank you for watching!

She read all of them!! Wow! Amazing!!!! Does she have a favorite? Thank you so much for watching!

@ I’ll have to ask her again. I can’t remember!

@@CandlewickLibrary let me know when you do!!

I know someone else whose favorites are those exact two as well!💕 Thank you so much for watching!!

Thank you and thank you for checking it out! I think I have memories of that one too! ⭐

What a beautiful perfect comment! Thank you so much!!!💕 I am so happy that you enjoyed it!

Thank you Celeste! Yes I thought that made it so special! Many had names and ages in them too!

Hi Punita! I also have some Hardy Boys and regret not showing them in this video! I have been saving them to read with my son. I also collect The Bobbsey Twins! You and I are like bookish soulmates ha ha!!! Thank you so much for saying so about the trees and the lake. I often wonder if I should just focus on sit-down chats and stop worrying about adding B-roll (the extra stuff). It's just that I love how light falls on things and have this desire to capture it! Especially those yellows! Have a lovely rest of your weekend and thank you so much for the comment and watching!!!🍁🍂💕💕💕

I am so glad and happy that I found your channel. Your content is just great!!!❤💕​@@WaterBearReads

@@punitavisvanathan Thank you so much for saying that!! I really appreciate it!

Hi Cindy! Of course! You have no idea what those types of posts mean to a small creator! (Although I suspect they will be just as meaningful to large creators too!) I took a screen shot of it on my phone and I look at it every now and then for a boost of confidence!!! Thank you ever so much! Also, was wondering if you would mind if I shared it in my IG and FB stories? Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

@@WaterBearReads I responded earlier but I think my response was deleted (or I could easily be losing my mind 😂). Anyway, yes! I’d love for you to share!! ❤

@@cmhailey4290 Oh how strange! But thank you for reposting your message! Ok thank you so much! I will post it this week sometime! 💕

Hi Teresa....well then you are right where I am! I am a few chapters into #3. Your reading project sounds fun!

Thank you! 💕💕💕

Hi Jessica! I am so glad you enjoyed seeing my collection! Do you have number 5? I need to get that one next! Have a lovely day!💕

@@WaterBearReads I don't have #5 but I checked on Goodreads to see which one that is and the cover looks so familiar. I must have read it as a library book when I was little. I forgot to mention in my first comment that your painting with the ghosts added is so cute! What a great idea!! 👻I hope you have a Happy Halloween! 🎃

@@jessicaw1839 Ha ha thank you! My ghosts ended up looking like the "Pac-man" ghosts. I was trying to make them look like those elegant ghosts you see in the Tik-Tok ghost thrift paintings! I need to watch some "how to" videos for next year!

@@jessicaw1839 Oh and Have a Happy Halloween too!

I saw your IG story picture! Looks good! Good Morning!!!💕

The second one was actually surprisingly riveting and scary when I read it as an adult! I know what you mean when you say "so many books in the world that need reading" though! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!💕

I wonder...do they ever mention the illustrators of the interiors? I will check them out. I had a time finding out who illustrated the inside pictures! In the end I just said "uncredited". But I want to know! Thank you so much for telling me about that podcast! Also that is so interesting about 'The Captive Curse'. I want to find out more about it now. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!💞💞

Hi Teresa! Thank you so much for that! Such a nice way to start out a morning! Have a lovely day!💕

I also have the arcturus hardback of Peter pan, the Arthur Rackham, Gwynedd Hudson and FD Bedford ones.

Hi Punita! Apologies for the delay in reply! Wow you have some gorgeous books!!! I have also been wanting to get the Brambly Hedge series! E. Nesbit is also a favorite. We read her "The Railway Children" not too long ago, as well as 5 Children and It. Oh and yes Washington Irving is a real favorite!!! I loved his The Tales of the Alhambra! Have you read it? I looked up your Snow White and Rose Red by Kelly Vivanco- what a gorgeous book! I will have to put that on my list to get as well! Thank you as always for watching my videos and for the positive comments! Have a lovely day!💓

@@punitavisvanathan I love those! I gave away my Arcturus as a giveaway on my Instagram last year, but I regret it now ha ha!!! Oh! And by the way also thank you so much for checking out my Blog! That means the world to me!🌎

@@WaterBearReads Hello! I have not read his Tales of Alhambra yet but I know I have it somewhere 😊

Hi Cheryl! Thank you! And thank you so much for watching! 🧡 I am so happy you enjoyed the books!

Hi Mandi! Well for the past two years we have visited in August and there just have not been any great yard sales. My stepmom and Dad live in Conroe, and my stepmom takes me to the 2nd and Charles - which I love! Thank you so much for your comment!!!

Hi! Thank you so much! I am so happy that you enjoy the mix and the decor! Decorating the set is so much fun! It is so nice to have people to chat to about books in my life! Thank you so much for watching!🎃

@@WaterBearReadsI know the feeling! I have lots of gardening friends that I can chat seeds and flowers with and some friends that read but mostly they all read new popular books. But I’m slowly getting a dear friend turned into a classics reader.. she keeps borrowing some of our classic childrens books (both of us have young children) and recently she read Anne of green gables and fell in love! So soon I will have a gardening reader friend!

@@voggs3072 Its so funny you say that because just the other day I was thinking that I should add some new releases (adult) in my discussions - I was kind of thinking maybe one per season, (and listen to them as audio books since few are illustrated)! I did actually read one new release earlier this year - The Fury - and I thought it was entertaining.

Thank you so much Brittany! My husband James is Canadian. He grew up just outside of Toronto but most of his family now live in Guelph.🥰 Thank you so much for watching as I know how busy you must be!!!!

Hi Jessica! Yes! When the holidays come (pumpkins, turkeys and trees) the Peanuts gang come out! We love the Peanuts gang and watch "Great Pumpkin" too! Do you watch the Thanksgiving one? That piece of art was made by Marc Spusta which he did many years ago. Wish he would do more like that. I love that you grabbed a pumpkin spice latte to sip! So cozy and makes me feel like in a way we were really chatting together about books! Living Ghosts and Mischievous Monsters has been perfect for me, who gets scared watching Field of Dreams Lol!🥰

@@WaterBearReads I haven't watched the Thanksgiving one in years, but now that you've reminded me, I'll make a point of it this year! Your videos always feel like I'm sitting and chatting with a friend. 💜

@@jessicaw1839 oh awesome! Thats perfect and exactly what I want them to feel like!!! I am so happy to hear that you feel that way Jessica!!!!💕

Hi Paola!!! Oh, I did not know that it was a series! Thank you so much for mentioning that! I will check it out!!♥ Have a lovely weekend!

I know right? But I think I saw that you are reading the WW Denslow original right? As far as originals go, its a REALLY great one! Thank you so much for watching...I know how busy you are!!!💚

@WaterBearReads yeah I just read the Denslow one. When I was a kid I read another version but I'm not sure who that illustrator was. But I remember at the time thinking the hammerheads were freaky!

@@WhytheBookWins Oh my goodness I still think they are freaky ha ha!

🥰 Thank you so much for the comment!!! Have a lovely rest of your weekend!

🦗🥰

Ha ha!!! I am glad that you are enjoying the books! I plan to start reading it as soon as I finish Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I can't wait to read more of it as well! Have a lovely rest of your weekend!🧡

Hi!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I hope you enjoy both books. I honestly thought Aladdin was done with those style of books because I had not seen any come out in a couple of years or more. So when I saw "Misty", I was rather excited!!! Its a sweet little book! And I plan to get more of those Fern Hollow books. I hope you enjoy "Seasons". Just lovely! Have a relaxing rest of your weekend!!🎃

Are you close to a Barnes & Nobles? It was one of those editions that they have on display that are super inexpensive....around $10-$15 I think. I forgot exactly how much I paid for it but it was rather inexpensive. I left a link in my description (that one is not an affiliated link) if you wanted to see it easily. I am so glad you liked the video and thank you so much Zena for your lovely comments. They really make my day!🎃🧡🎃

You make our day! Will check out here in uk xx

Hi Amy! Isn't it just adorable? Kiki's Delivery Service was just delightful! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!!🎃🧡

Hi Cassandra! Who illustrated the version of Frankenstein you read? I wonder which one it is. There are so many great versions out there that I feel that Frankenstein will end up being one of those that I have several versions of. Thank you so much for the lovely comment about my videos! The positive feedback is what keeps it alive for me! I have a Dr. Thorne that I have been meaning to get to! I picked it up in the UK a couple of years back and still need to read it! 🎃🧡🎃

Did you read it as a child or as an adult? I feel that, had I read it as a kid, it would have been one of those that really stayed with me. It's so magical!

@@WaterBearReads I was an adult, but I was reading it to see if it was something my kids would want to read - they did (at least my girls did).

@@novelideea oh that is fantastic!

'Sweep' is a huge favorite of ours as well! We never owned it, always loaned it from the library, but its one I need to add! My son has hit that age where we are buying more middle-grade than picture books now, but I think I will always get a picture book here and there just to absorb illustrations and the wise stories!

@@WaterBearReads I do that regularly. I can’t pass up looking through the children’s section wherever I am 🤗

@@novelideea We share that habit!

I have exactly that issue as well! Did you see the carved pumpkin at the end? It's a badger face🧡

That is so cool! Is it the new edition or a vintage copy?

@@WaterBearReads it’s an older copy because I’ve had it since my kids were little ♥️

@@novelideea Those are the best!!!
