    I was listening to this while I worked away on other things when all of a sudden I heard Hermione's voice and was very confused. Beautiful impression.
    Also due to this and last vlog, I have been convinced to get a copy of Dombey & Son - cannot wait to sink into that one!

    As a Brit for the longest time, I had no idea what bangs were until about two years when I started learning the differences in words between British and American English. We call them "Fringe" not "Bangs" in the UK.
    Your British accent was good; for a second, I thought I was listening to Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.

    I just found you a week or so ago..I think. I love your videos. You explain the plots so well. I live in Costa Rica so it takes a while for me to get books. Very view English shops here.
    Have you read The Boy In The Striped Pajamas? it is a story during the Holocaust. Very touching.
    I have bangs too. That was so funny. You are hilarious.
    Thanks for making my day.

    Your father's gift sounds nice. A book for Cultural Anthropology I enjoyed was titled: We Eat the Mines, and the Mines Eat Us, an ethnography focused on South American tin miners. Much better IMHO than Zola's Germinal, which was Realistic fiction. Their entire existence revolves around the mines, from which there is no way out but talented sons do sometimes go to University for technical education in the hope of becoming engineers. To marry their daughters, the miners borrow thousands of dollars for extravagant weddings. I'm sure your dad will love his X-mas present. Take care and Happy New Year.

    I was meaning to read Greenglass House for so long, but am glad that I finally did. Now, I've read all the books set in that world and most of her other books as well.
    As for hair, I agree that it is hard. I've cut my bangs a couple times, but the last time put an end to that forever. I ended up looking like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber. I had to wear berets to hide my bangs for months until they grew out enough so that I could get them fixed by someone who knew what they were doing. Another time, I tried hand-streaking my hair and ended up looking like a Calico cat. It's a look.

    I have the same hair type as yours and I can totally relate to you. Bangs is so hard to style with that type of hair. I use heat to style them, it only damaged my hair. So, I never had bangs anymore.

    Absolutely thrilled with two videos in two days, a vlog was exactly what I needed to get my day of studying going 😊
    Sounds like your dad has great taste, Latin American history is honestly fascinating (one of my main interests actually). I will absolutely check out Open Veins, it looks really cool. That and I am also a Tolkien superfan. Perhaps he and I are both incarnations of the same Mesoamerican god and we just don't know it yet. Also David Day tends to be dismissed by a lot of Tolkien scholars but I keep my copies of three of his books on my shelf anyway because even though he's sometimes incorrect, the books are undeniably absolutely gorgeous.

The movie is theatrical- a bit of a comedy I think. When you e talked to Carolyn about Dickens you say he was very much into the theatre and that shines through his work. It seems that’s where went with the movie. Have you seen the movie? Do you plan to watch the film adaptations and compare them to the books?
