    It looks like my comment was deleted! I was just writing to say as a bookseller for over 12 years please support your independent bookstores and don’t purchase books on Amazon. Like in an earlier video Desi said having a bookstore nearby was important to her. Amazon has closed thousands of bookstores and supporting indie bookstores supports your local community and creates jobs. If you’re a book lover please consider calling your local bookstore where they can special order you almost any title and ship it to your house if you live far away. We also give great recommendations! I’m not trying to be negative I just think it’s important to support bookstores if you love books!

Summers fun and I look forward to it because of the annual roadtrip my husband and I take with our two kiddos. I don’t typically care much for winter because it’s dark, cold and dreary. I also have never really cared for spring because it’s always felt more like a filler season. That being said after finding your channel a few years ago I can honestly say I look forward to each and every season (even Winter!) lol because each season brings new and exciting content from you.

Im not judging those who enjoy those books, but I don’t want to spend lots of money on a book and get invested in it just to realize it makes me uncomfortable. So I very much appreciate when she blatantly states which one it is.

    Hi Desi. Beautiful video as always! A word of caution to someone who has never read Tess of the d’Urbervilles…. Although this is a “classic”… it is anything but a “feel good” story. As someone who loves classical literature, I’ve never understood why this one is such a favorite. For me, it’s a tragic story about a very young girl who falls victim to terrible things, through no fault of her own. If anything, it highlights how unfair life can be to those who are not born to wealth and privilege. There are so many beautiful works of classic literature that leave a person feeling uplifted and hopeful, but this is not one of them.

    I just can't get on board with the series that don't get interesting until the second book. I tried ACOTAR and gave up pretty quickly. I give books three chapters to reel me in and if they don't, I move on.
    Great suggestions, though! I really want to read The Lark.

    I just lost my 16 years fury companion, the most beautiful three colored cat, she was the most perfect angel her whole life, she never got sick. She just got sick about one month ago, with difficulty breathing, and the doctor downplayed everystep of the way....we tought she was going to be fine....yesterday morning she passed away with a cardiac arrest and difficulty breathing...and the only way I can cope is to watch videos like yours...I know I cannot blame myself, but she deserved better. She was still so healthy and strong..she would've lived longer..I'm absolutely heart-broken. She was my first fury baby, and I will love her forever.

    Thank you Desi, for your wonderful uplifting videos, it's always a pleasure to watch them! Did you see that the book cover of Miss Austen by Gill Hornby is a Dutch book (my language ☺). May be you are already familiar with the books from Miss Read, the Fairacre Novels? Written from mid '50s about life in the English country at a village School in that period. I was advised to start with the second book and I do agree. The first is very slow in the beginning. The writer was influenced by Jane Austin. Anyway, Thank you again and cannot wait for the next video! 😘
