I love your garden studio space!
Thank you!
all fours is fantastic!!
Really nice to see your outdoor space and what you have done with the studio! Thanks for sharing.
Instantly intrigued by anything Almodovar has blurbed! 🌈
❤
Rainy days are dangerous for hauling books. You end up breaking all previous records 😂
The safe keep sounds interesting. Dig the shelf and the studio. ❤
Taken note of This Strange Eventful History. It sounds good regardless if it gets listed or not 😊 I really enjoyed Onyi Nwabineli’s new book, very readable.
I hope you enjoy all the books you get to Eric. Love your little rainbow shelf 🌈
Thanks Charlie! 📚
Have just bought the Claire Messud book as I love her writing ❤
I’d be keen to hear what you think - hope you enjoy it!
Great summaries, thank you.
Thank you! 😊📚
Real Americans and The Safe
Keep both sound very interesting to me.
😊📚
Bad Habit is superb. I am sure you'll love it!
Great!
Looking forward to hearing what you think of Christos Tsiolkas (he's one of my favourite Aussie authors). I have this book in my tbr pile, it sounds intriguing and I know it will be well written as all his books have been.
I've read a few books by Tsiolkas before and find him fascinating.
I’m looking forward to “ One Hour of Frevour”. I really enjoyed “A Single Rose” by Barbery. I need to add Notes From An Island will be ordered
Great! 😊📚
Just finished “All Fours.” While, I appreciated certain aspects of the book,overall it did not work for me. As It was lauded by George Saunders, Emma Cline & Michael Cunningham I had high hopes. I found myself comparing it to “Splinters” by Leslie Jamison which I felt was more authentic. Perhaps not a fair comparison as Jamison’s book was a memoir. Just felt the writing was stronger. About to embark on “Butcher” by Joyce Carol Oates.
Hard to imagine that the new Messud novel won’t appear on the Booker longlist. I read a proof copy and even without Li’s blurb, it’s quite good. Much buzz for the new Rachel Khong novel. I read All Fours and withhold comment until you have read it too! Hope the rain eases!
That's good to hear! I'll try to get to Messud's novel soon. And ooh, that's intriguing about July's novel.
Bad habit was a bestseller in Spain
Yiyun Li is a Pulitzer finalist for Wednesday's Child. Didn't realize that she was a Booker judge this year.
Yes, I really admire her writing and have read multiple books by her but not Wednesday's Child yet.
please tell me: which times of the day do you read?? i wanna read more. i have to schedule ist.
I. am retired so sometimes I read all day.
Non book question - Where is the Class of 99 poster from? I'd love one as it's my graduation year and I remember all those movies
I’m afraid that’s a poster my husband and I had custom made for our anniversary party as we got together in 99. 😊
All those book hauls Do you read the books ?
I read quite a lot of books and talk about them in detail if you watch my reading wrap ups or any of my review videos.
Please can you show good books for pride month please need some good ones xx
Quite a few of the books I discuss in this video would be good for Pride month: All This Here Now, In Universes, Selamlik, The In-Between, A Last Supper of Queer Apostles, Bad Habit. 🏳🌈
