I loved Greenlights----I listed to the audio book which really made it worthwhile -- Matthew is truy a writer at heart! I was, like you, surprised!
Greenlights was a GREAT audiobook....read by Matthew himself. Laugh out loud funny!!😂
Great book reviews, Nikol! I want to find The Silent Patient, it sounds fabulous. I’m excited to see your library when you’re done! Happy reading. 📚📕📖
Thanks, Catherine!❤️
You’ve chosen such great books, thank you! Looking forward to checking some of these out.
Have a lovely weekend and good luck with the renovation plans! x
Thanks, Anne!❤️
I think I need the Happy-Go-Lucky book - and I think maybe we need the irreverenance *to* be able to treat the dead with respect. I think the culturre where we are so distant that we cannot even say that someone died is what makes us *so* distant to the hole process, which then leads to not actually treating it with the respect it needs to - or something? KWIM
Thank you for sharing. I already have The Silent Patient in queue but will add Greenlight as well. I’m an audiobook lover just because I can get other things done at the same time. One tip - I listen to most audiobooks at 1.5 to 1.75 speed because I find them slow as well. If part of your frustration is around “being able to read faster” then speeding up your audio might fit your brain speed better 😁
Thank you! Great tip! 😊
Nicole I loved tonight’s vlog! Headed to the Libby app and will hopefully get Green Light fast. I am the same with audio books and motion sickness 😂😂. You made my day TY
Thanks for watching, Julie!❤️
Ooh, what a cool episode! Enjoyed your tips. I’ve read the Gut book and also am a fan of Sedaris. Read Me talk Pretty one Day as a student flying to Europe for a year abroad. Was laughing out loud so much that other passengers who were trying to sleep were shushing me. He certainly has a way with human awkwardness. I love the moody rich tone in your green library. Will you get a green shaded library desk lamp to go with it? That would be just perfect for literary focus. Can’t wait to hear more!
Thanks, Rebecca! ❤️ I’m thinking maybe a stained-glass ceiling light fixture…🤔
Thank you for sharing the books you've read. I chuckled listening to you read the essay from the Happy-go Lucky book. Although he has little in common with my husband who is a pastor, his sarcasm is similar. In fact, that small section you read, could have been written by my husband. If you have ever watched the Doc Martin series, my husband is Doc Martin but with much of a personality.
😂
Loved this reading wrap-up! Some books really aren't my thing, but others I will search for them in the library. I feel the same about narrators of audiobooks and also seem to prefer UK readers. I even prefer English over Dutch (I'm from Belgium), I think it makes me concentrate better because it's not my mother tongue. Also, I need to find that bracelet against motion sickness 😁, I even get sick on a swing or in a hammock 🙈
Me too! I was so sad when I realized I couldn’t swing anymore! 🤢
Thank you so much! So far I have noted four of your reviewed books to barrow from my library❤😊
Fantastic! ❤️
So many suggestions, I need to look for some of them.
I enjoyed your book reviews!
I’m so glad, thank you!❤️
Thank you for these videos. I picked up two books from your reads to add to my “to read” list. Since you mostly read print books, I am curious with what you do with them when you’re done. I know that you have a library, under renovation, and have many there. Do you keep all your books? What is your criteria to keep the book? What do you do with books you do not keep, give to a friend, donate to the library, place if a free little library, etc?
I am mostly an audiobook listener but when I read a print book, I don’t keep them. I feel that they need to go out into the world to live with someone else. I will typically give it to a friend who would enjoy it or add it to the free little library in my neighborhood. I wish I could see where all my books travel.
Thanks, Nancy! I will definitely answer this in the next book video! 😊
I loved the silent patient . And most recently No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall..next on my list by same author is What Lies In The Woods . I love audiobooks, because I listen to them, while I’m knitting 📚 🧶 💫. Speaking of annoying narrator, your first book, I could not get past his voice, I hate it. 😅. A really great narrator is Marin Ireland !! I could listen to her read the dictionary all day long 😅 Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover was good too.
Thanks for the recommendations!! I’m so excited to add these to my audiobook TBR list! 🙌
Do you like reading more or audible so you can listen and knit?
I truly enjoy your podcast. However I was knitting while watching and would have loved to have the front of the book on the screen while you were reviewing it. I often did not know what book you were talking about because I did not know what book you were
reviewing. Being able to see the title and author while you were talking would have been greatly appreciated❤😊thank you.
Thanks for this! I will definitely do this next time! 😊
