I'm so excited to see you again! How was your time in South Korea? I love all these book recommendations! Rudyard Kipling is one of my favorite authors - I really loved the Second Jungle Book- this summer I visited his Vermont home where he wrote Jungle Books among others. I vlogged it if interested. I loved Journey to the Center of the Earth! But its the only one I have read so far. I totally love Sam too! My son and I just started reading The Hobbit- I forgot how its actually rather funny at parts! David McCullough is one of those authors whose books I see everywhere but I never properly focused on, so I thank you so much for highlighting him. This is one of the best "Best of" lists I've come across! Well done!!
Thank you! I am so excited that you started a channel! Your videos are so well done and you have the exact same taste in children's literature as I do. I love your vlogs of Kipling, Concord and Prince Edward Island. Those are some of the places on my bucket list this year. I can't wait to see more of your videos and the places you visit. I hope you and your son enjoy The Hobbit!🙂
Glad to hear good things about the Truman book. I really like McCullough and found several of his books(including Truman )at a thrift store and picked them up.
I am so pleased to see you review "Truman" by McCollough!! It is a fine book, and it deserves to be in more reviewers' number 1 slot! I was born and raised in KC,MO in the 60s and i remember him as a very quiet celebrity from Independence. I was brought up close to where he was raised, remember his childhood farmhouse, and my parents shopped at Truman Corners, and i went to Harry S Truman elementary school! Independence, MO is where he spent most of his life before and after the presidency, and that city is where his presidential library is located. I have enjoyed a number of David McCollough's books.... i read The Great Bridge and The Johnstown Flood in summer of 2020 and was extremely happy with them! It was first few months of lockdown and i really got on a nonfiction ride.
Thanks Carol! Wow, that is so interesting that you have childhood memories of Truman as a local celebrity in Missouri. I would love to visit and see the Truman library someday. 🙂
I love your videos! You are so insightful and your reading tastes match up with mine perfectly - thank you for your book videos!!😁
Thank you MsGuinevere!

How Green Was My Valley is one of my favorites of 2023 too - one my favorites ever really. Great reviews.
Thank you Nancy! I am so glad you read How Green Was My Valley too. 🙂
So lovely to see you again. Some great recommendations here, I really want to get to Oliver Twist this year. Hoping 2024 is a great year for you x
Thank you Kay! Oliver Twist was such a great book. I hope you get a chance to read it soon. 🙂
