Lesley, it’s so nice to see a new video from you. Glad to hear you are enjoying the Barsetshire series. I just finished reading The “Framley Parsonage”, No. 4 in the series. A few of the characters from “Dr Thorne” make an appearance. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
I am so glad I searched up your name on UA-cam again and that you're making new videos! I've never commented here before but I used to watch your videos a long time ago (maybe 2014?) and you introduced me to so many authors and books that have since then become favourites (W. Somerset Maugham, PG Wodehouse, How Green Was my Valley etc). I hope you're doing well and I'm looking forward to more videos! I read the Razors Edge a few years ago and loved, and Richard Yates is another favourite of mine.
I love those small hardcover editions! Gorgeous! ❤️ I love Trollope too. I’ve read around 2/3 of his novels, it’s taking awhile to finish them all. 😅 I really enjoyed all the Barsetshire novels and the Palliser novels. Then it’s kind of fun if you read some Angela Thirkell after reading Trollope because her books are also set in Barsetshire, just decades later and she uses the same names and places.
I missed your videos!!! I've been trying to read some of the children classics (I've reread The Hobbit and read The wizard of Oz so far) this past year and I am also searching for good children's books to both enjoy myself and improve my english. I always come back to your channel to get classics an children's books recommendations
Nice. As a fellow Australian can I ask where you get your books? I shop Dymocks and QBD obviously and bookdepository. But some titles are scarce to say the least lol
In person shopping, I mainly go to Harry Hartog since there’s a location relatively near me and they always have a lovely curation of titles but for online I tend to use Booktopia. You can wait awhile if they need to order the title from their suppliers but it does tell you as you’re ordering if that’s the case and they keep you updated with emails along the way so it doesn’t tend to bother me. Hope that helps! Oh and for used books, World of Books is worth a look. Free shipping to Australia and always nice to give used books a new life where possible. 😊
🥳🎉 Great to see you! Wonderful as always to hear your thoughts and feels on all things bookish. Only yesterday the possibility of a ‘Little Women’ reread crossed my mind 😊 or a rewatch at the very least. I swear I’ve got to sort myself out and try some Gaiman in 2022! So glad to hear that you enjoyed Yates and that Maugham continues his winning streak with you. I’ll try and opt for some slightly happier picks next time though 😂 xox
A great video! If you enjoyed The Mighty Miss Malone, I recommend Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. Our 6th graders read it every year, and I loved putting TMMM into their hands after they read it.
Thanks so much! I have an older video floating around on where to start with Gaiman if you’re interested but I would suggest starting with either The Ocean at the End of the Lane or Stardust for my personal preference. Both are gorgeous. And if you do appreciate the occasional audiobook you really can’t go wrong with any of his. 😊
Welcome back!! I missed you!!
Aww thank you! X

Oh thats lovely to hear! Will definitely make it one of my early January reads.
I’m reading the Barsetshire Chronicles as well and am up to The Small House at Allington. Love them all so far!
That’s great to hear! Looking forward to continuing on!

Ooh I think the Palliser novels were the ones I wanted to try out next. Glad to hear you enjoy them!

😂 don’t mind a bit of melancholy, me.
You absolutely must try out Gaiman. The Ocean at the End of the Lane at the very least! 😁
I’ve never really looked into Trollope, I’ll have to check him out since I loved so many of the books you’ve recommended over the years!
All the Victorian vibes. Definitely worth a try! 😊
It’s so nice to see you! 💛
Thanks for watching! X
This was such a cozy & soothing video
So glad you liked it. 😊

I will definitely pick it up in the new year! Thank you! X
Loved this - more often please😀
Will do my best! 😊
So good to see you!
Thanks, Amy! 😊

So happy to see a video from you I enjoy them so much! Which one of Neil Gaiman’s books would you suggest starting with? Thanks!
