If anyone has a reason to feel a little overwhelmed/burned out by books, it’s certainly you after such a fabulous week! My brain would be ping-ponging with happiness. The Simon and Schuster event was captured so clearly, thank you ❤😊 As always, hi to Ace!
Yay, it’s Rumpus time! Happy Sunday afternoon from Sydney! I’m reading Stoner, by John Williams, and even though I’m only about 50 pages in, I can already tell that it’s going to be one of those books that will never leave me. Cuddles to Ace!
Another great volg. I totally enjoyed the Author, Author event - I now have author event envy. Seems like Ace is doing much, much better. Happy reading.
I'm over here fangirling...over William Kent Krueger! Yup, that's how I roll! And can you imagine having Hillary Clinton as your professor? We had our eclipse in 2017, but it was so cool!
Fantastic wrap-up - the Simon and Schuster event looked amazing. That is one of the few things I miss about living in a big city - access to those sorts of experiences. At least I can live vicariously via your vlogs 😉Those catalogues from the book fair are fab, I love a good catalogue (I have a lot of art exhibition catalogues which I enjoy browsing on a regular basis, dreaming of what I'd buy if I ever won the lottery...). Glad you got to see the eclipse - we didn't get it over here, but I saw the total eclipse way back in 1999 so at least I've seen one in my lifetime. There isn't another here until 2090, and something tells me I probably won't be around to see that one... 😂Have a fabulous week, my friend! 👍
Yeah, I probably went on WAY TOO LONG with the catalogues, but I don’t care. I love em. I’ll be sharing more footage from the event this week. The solar eclipse was something to see - I think it’ll be another twenty years for us. Thanks for watching!
What a delight those catalogs look to flip through! I would be so tempted by some of those. 😅 Have you heard of Once Upon a Tome : Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller? It was one of my nonfiction favorites, so fun and enlightening about the antiquarian book world.
That book fair looks amazing and I would love to see some of this books even though my bank cannot handle this prices. Author author seemed amazing too. Your puppy I I cute a note like mine.
we barely got anything of the Eclipse here in the UK tbf, i still need to get myself to a book event this year. Hoping to get to Hay festival in the summer
What were you reading this week when you weren’t staring at the sun?
Oh, and a front row seat in front of so many great & wonderful authors!!!
It was quite the evening! 🤩

Happy Saturday night!
Right back atcha!
The author event looked fantastic. So jealous of the antiquarian book event. I love trying to find hidden gems in second hand bookstores.
Me too! Someday we’ll hit the jackpot. Someday…
Being able to go to author event's sounds so nice. It was adorable how your doggo decided to sit up and look offended when you said he snored.
Stubborn as a mule. 😁
I loved this video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I’ll be sharing more footage from the event soon.

“Stoner” is a wonderful novel. Enjoy!
So jealous of the Author Author event! 😭😭😭 AMAZING!
Haha! It was pretty amazing! I will be sharing more footage from the event this week. (It was three hours!)
loved the video! And the eclipse was so cool, right? I was in a spot with complete totality i was absolutely in awe.
Pretty spectacular! I was moved by how it brought everyone together for a few moments.
John Irving's a hero of mine. Prayer for Owen Meany is in my top 5.
I'm a big fan of his works as well. I got to meet him afterwards, which was a big thrill!

He really is! He has his last check-up next week. As always, thanks for watching! 😎📚👍
Loved this video! Thanks for sharing all the book event stuff. 😎
You bet! I’ll be sharing more from the event soon.
What a great video! Your editing is 😍Chef's kiss😍💯💥

It was spectacular event. I posted extended footage this past week and the second part will go up this upcoming Wednesday.
Such a cool video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 😁
I’m always hoping I find a book treasure at a thrift store. A first edition of Anne of Green Gables is at the top of my list.
Fingers crossed! 🤞

Thank you! Give your puppy a belly rub for me!
Oh gosh, this was delightful. Thanks for taking us along. (Big surprise: Pina Colada! )

I didn’t like “Day” either.
@@anenthusiasticreader I had such high hopes.
Lovely wrap up! I am on the west coast, so no eclipse for me. It was also cloudy and raining yesterday, so I probably wouldn’t have seen it anyways 😂
Thanks for watching! 😁
❤

I share your sentiments about The Manning Tree Witches. I liked it. It was fine. I couldn't make it through the exposition. Maybe it's the pacing?
It is TOTALLY the pacing. 🥱
@@mildrumpus lol

I would love to attend the Hay Festival someday.
@@mildrumpus I have the time booked off so fingers crossed i can get their for a couple of days at least
Which book was Judy Blume speaking about?
She was referring to her book, “Forever.”
@@mildrumpus I thought that was the one. I loved that book & I love her💜
@@janethughes7661 "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" kicked off my love of reading. It was a thrill to tell her that and thank her. ❤❤❤
