    You had me at "No plot, just vibes"! The Anthropologists sounds perfect for me too ❤ I didn't realise that Mrs D is the popular Woolf pick. 'Orlando' is my favourite 😊

    I also was mesmerized by Strange weather in Tokyo... I just finished "Things That Make One's Heart Beat Faster " by Mia Kankimäki. In search of Sei Shonagon, a Japanese writer and lady-in-waiting who wrote about her life in the court of Heian era Japan.
    Are you familiair with Persephone Books, a bookshop and editor located in Bath? They reprint neglected fiction and non-fiction, mostly by women writers and mostly dating from the mid-twentieth century.

    Lady Susan has been on my list. Most of what you read is very different from my taste, but I loved learning about these books.

    Ooooh I love those recommendations! I can’t wait for The Anthropologist to be published, eagerly waiting for my copy! And I’ve just bought Strange Weather in Tokyo, you totally convinced me (I was not convinced before as I think that the man is much older than the woman but we’ll see what happens!). Please make more books related videos 🥺❤️

    I recommend you Scaffolding! I’m pretty sure that you will adore it. Especially if you want that Parisian atmosphere. It was sharp, sexy and gorgeous!

    19:19 it's good substitute for fingers while scrubbing if needed. I have gel nails and washing hair (and dishes) weaken the bond between the gel and nail and the edge of nail lifts.. so for that it's good. Does the trick.

    Thank you Jenny! For me, I'd say :
    - The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann
    - The Witch of the West is dead, Nashiki Kaho (very sweet!)
    - Green Wheat, Colette (French one, you'd like that one I'm sure :))
    - Froth on the Daydream, Boris Vian (same!)

    Hi Jenny! Great set of books! I do have a recommendation, not sure if it fits with summer, but a marvelous book for sure - “Death with Interruptions” by José Saramago. Hoping you give it a shot! José Saramago is one of the best authors Portugal has ever seen 😊

    Every summer I feel a sudden and very strong urge to read Balzac. No idea why. So I tend to read Balzac every year.
    Also Faulkner and his descriptions of the heavy summer heat is always good.

    I have read Reunion because you recommended it. Such a beautiful story.
    I just finished 2 little books: A Shining by Jon Fosse (Nobel Prize 2023) and Cheese by Willem Elsschot, a Flemish author. An old book but still so relevant today. Curious what you think. Have you already read a Flemish book?

    My summer reads would be:
    Okay Days (seriously I loved loved it)
    Call me by your name (amaizing)
    probably Conversations with Friends
    Margueritte Duras Little Horses of Tarquinia (very similar vibes to Bonjour Tristesse I think),
    The Stranger by Sandor Marai too
    Many books by Patrick Modiano could be on this list
    I think maybe Kyoto by Kawabata would make that list too.
