    Carolyn I was wondering if you could do a video about your favourite adaptations of different books and plays, and maybe one with your favourite essays and discussions, like the Dickens vs. Tolstoy debate that you and Emma based your series on! I’m sorry if you’ve already done this and I somehow missed it 😅 I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 💞

    Nice tattoo! I'm so glad that you got to experience it with a friend (who you'll carry with you forever--literally!). I'm sooo intrigued by Bel-Ami and added it to my TBR. I want to say that your channel has inspired me to pick up more classics, so thank you, thank you, thank you for that.

    Love, love, love the tattoo! I enjoyed both stories by Tolstoy a lot and they were so fast to read. I feel like every major artist repeats him or herself over and over throughout their work in some way or another (even Dickens). There is something that they are passionate about and they get stuck in exploring that over and over (and if it's not your thing, you'll get annoyed or you might be like yes! this is why I came here). In any form of art really, I'm thinking Wes Anderson, Warhol, Gaudí, Austen, Rodin, Tolstoy of course, etc, etc. So I agree, I would recommend them to Tolstoy fans but not necessarily if you don't like him then what is the point lol.

    Hi Carolyn ! Thank you so much for this vidéo. I’m Sylvette from France. For the pronounciation of Guy de Maupassant, you said it right except for the first name. In french we pronounce « Guy » like « see » (sorry i don’t know phonetic so i used my own way lol) and not « hi ». Sorry if i have made mistakes in my message, as i am not fluent in American. If you like Maupassant, i highly recommand « une vie ». It is one of my favorite book ever. 💚📚

    Hi Carolyn, we have a totally immersive Van Gogh exhibition touring the U.K. at the moment. I think at the moment it’s in the beautiful ancient city of York. It’s wonderful to behold even via Google. I hope you check it out. If you’ve never seen the city of York that’s worth a look too. Claire x

    bel ami! my favourite classic i read last year and one of my favourite reviews i've ever filmed! i read it after a professor i'm very close to (she's one of the young ones so she loves interacting with fellow students) recommended it to me after one of our long chats on literature! it's an amazing story and maupassant's writing style is super accessible! it's a story on ambition and corruption, super fascinating to explore. i'm a huge fan of the author and his psychologial portraits are mind blowing. i hope you love it.
    also his name is pronounced as /gi/ :)
    and yes, i'd love it if you added an individual tattoo option!

    The jewelry is beautiful! Ana Luisa has great pieces. You mentioning Anna K reminded me - If you haven't read "the elegance of the hedgehog" I think you'd like it. The Anna Karenina novel plays a big part in the story. :). Bel Ami is a great book. My favorite book by Guy is A Life . Bear Town was not for me

    Hi Carolyn, I love the jewelry, I'm a small person, and like dainty jewelry. I enjoy your talking,so please feel free to "babel". Van Gogh one of my favorites,but I'm just not into tattoos (for me). I share the same feeling about N.Y.C. It's a great place for entertainment,but the busy,fast pace, and noise..not for me. I enjoy the forest, and cozy quieter lifestyle. Have a great weekend ! Happiness, Cindy

      No one gets tattoos because they *need* them. Were you under the impression that they were reserved only for people considered ugly? I'm sure you think that you're giving a compliment, but it actually comes across pretty judgemental.
