    Hi Emmelie... Toulouse certainly does keep you good company during your reading schedule. I'm a read one book at a time type of person, and prefer using my Kindle Scribe. Thanks for posting.

    That was so enjoyable! Thank you. I am so glad to hear you are working on another historical fiction novel. If it is like The Painter's Muse, I will be reading it. I plan on reading Twenty Years After before the end of the year but from your experience, perhaps I should start it earlier than planned. 😄 Have a lovely week!

    Hi Emmelie!
    A cozy vlog, and the presence of your adorable cat Toulouse made some parts of the video fluffier and warmer! The background music was a nice touch too. Interested to hear your thoughts about 20 Years After, since I might pick it up in the future after other reads. See you soon!

    Thank you Emmelie! You were certainly a picture of concentration as you were reading the Alexandre Dumas novel. It's a shame, isn't it, when you are reading a book simply to finish it. It takes all the joy out of it. I know when this happens to me my reaction when I have finally finished it is something like relief! I often say to myself "Oh well, at least I can say I have read it." However, isn't it nice when the next book you pick up is so much more satisfying.
    As always - Happy reading.
    P.s Toulouse is so, so cool!😊

      I loved reading it, but yes, those last 200 pages were difficult haha. I was also summarizing every chapter, so I had to stay really focused.
      I'm glad you love seeing my Toulouse. ;) Happy reading!

    Haha! I had that exact experience of reading since summer & needing a few hours for the last 100 pages with The Iliad! Just finished it last weekend. I enjoyed it when I was reading it, but wasn’t tempted to pick it up, so took a while! Ps you have a lovely home, beautiful aesthetics!

    Far From the Madding Crowd was possibly the first work of classic literature I read - and still, I think, my favourite 19th Century novel ( or Les Miserables... Hmmm...)! I would read Hardy over Dickens every time.

    Hi, Emmelie. 👋🏻
    This video was so cozy. Your cat is adorable.
    I don’t speak any French and I think it’s soooo gorgeous the way you pronounce names and words in French. I wish I could learn it, but I barely got through the numbers. 😂 my husband speaks French and I think it sounds soooo beautiful. Do you prefer English over French?
    Always glad to watch you! Have a nice week.

    Hello Emmelie! Great video and a pleasant surprise for an additional video. I really enjoy vlogs b/c we get to know the vlogger a bit more. It was really interesting. I am looking forward (and a bit nervous) to seeing your video on 20 Years Later. Also, I hope Toulouse is better and that you do another vlog again in the future. I look forward to Tuesday's video. Have a great day!

    I've had similar struggles with books like the Homeric epics and Virgil's Aneid. I call them the Greco-Roman trilogy epics; I adore those books and I have different translations, but whoa, each chapter (or book as they are categorized) felt like a whole actual book when I'd finish one. After each chapter I'd have to take a break and read something else and let it settle in my mind.

    • @ProseAndPetticoats

    I watched your video with great pleasure and I want to say right away that I got real intellectual and aesthetic pleasure!
    Everything in your video is perfect: your image, your analysis of the content of the book, the atmosphere of the video and positivity.
    But, most importantly, it is the beauty of your soul that you share with us!
    It is clear that you are a very harmonious and beautiful person!
    For a few minutes, you brought positivity to my soul.
    I live in Ukraine, in the city of Sumy, and the Russian army continues to attack civilians in our city with missiles for many days in a row. drones and guided air bombs. The occupiers killed and injured many civilians in this way. but we do not give up, because we defend European civilization and justice on our side.
    As you can see, our living conditions are different from yours, but I want to say that in this difficult situation, it is reading that saves the soul, it does not allow you to lose your mind.
    Right now I'm trying to read Thomas Mann's Enchanted Mountain.
    Thank you for this nice video and greetings from Ukraine!

    Prior to the 20th Century, novels were bloated because folks had more time to read(those who could read). Any big novel can be reduced to its bare bones. I'm slogging thru Les Miserables.

      Also many novels were written serially, in magazines. So if an author wanted to be paid, they'd continue the story for as long as possible. Hence why some of those longer novels, like David Copperfield or Middlemarch, feel like soap operas.

    • @ProseAndPetticoats
      @ProseAndPetticoats  Місяць тому +1

      Indeed, they were published in newspapers and people had to wait for the new chapters. Les Misérables is one of my favourite novels, and I love every chapter! Good luck, I hope you will love it.

    • @aaronaragon7838
      @aaronaragon7838 Місяць тому +1

      Good point. Many novels were serialized and not written for a 21st century audience. I've always been a short story science fiction guy, but I will get thru Les Miserables.
