So sorry that I am so late to the party! I did not see the video pop up on my screen and I just thought where is Celeste? So I went hunting and saw that I had missed this video. Loved seeing your trip to Ontario to your sister’s home. Have to say that I love the idea of having chickens and kudos to your sister for doing so. Her garden looks beautiful, and I love the arbor and the very tranquil water feature. Her bookcase was a treasure Trove of old delights. Another follower mentioned the book, The Warer Babies, an Old favorite of mine as well. I’ve never forgotten it from so many years ago. Dystopian novels are not a favorite of mine. In fact, dystopian novels rather depress me and so I avoid them. Now that I am old, I no longer have time to give into depression. Instead, I look for joy and peace. I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Mine was as I spent it with my son‘s family. My grandchildren bring me great happiness. I’m so proud of them. Both are excellent students. One is an avid teader and the other is a selective reader but both love the written word. Looking forward to the next video as always. Thank your sister for having us all over to her cozy home.
@@barbaradobson9298 Thanks! I’m sorry for posting my videos so chaotically lately! Yes, The Water Babies is a classic, and my sister’s copy is beautiful! Glad to hear that you enjoyed a good Thanksgiving with loved ones! ❤️
So it's NOT just me!! I didn't like The Thirteenth Tale either. I thought the main character was morose and overly dramatic, and boring at the same time. Unfortunately, at the time that I read it, I never dnf'ed books, so I slogged my way through to the end. On a happier note, your sister's bookshelf was such a treat to peruse! I kept pausing the video to write down some familiar titles from my childhood that I had forgotten about and others that looked interesting. Thank you for taking us along on your trip!
Hi Jessica! I have so many fond memories of books as a child. I did have many of my own, but also have very intense memories of the books belonging to my sister. I've slowly been rebuilding my own library with these vintage editions as I find copies, online. Let me know if you end up reading any of these!
Hi Celeste, thank you for your video! So nice to see your sister’s bookshelves with a lot of old favorites. I have read The Thirteenth Tale a few years ago and I didn’t like it all mostly because of characters. It seems to me that there were some disgusting pages even, I don’t remember exactly. I thought it would be something in style of Charlotte Brontë, but I was very disappointed. Now I began to read Who killed the Curate, hope it will be a cozy winter mystery.
Hi Celeste! Happy Thanksgiving! I loved this video! Watched it last night while cooking! Beautiful visuals! Loved the chickens! Oh that bookshelf! Was Water babies one of your favorites too? I loved it as a kid. i also spotted The Little Lame Prince which is not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. Loved your reviews. Apologies for coming so late to this video...I didn't see that it was up! Been travelling so much so everything is out of normal right now!!🦃
Happy Thanksgiving, Heather! I hope you’re enjoying your travels! I’d actually love to do a reread of both The Water Babies and The Little Lame Princess, as I don’t remember either.
@@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366 Ive been meaning to read The Water Babies to my son for over a year and we keep choosing away from it! I need to make it happen!
@@WaterBearReads “Choosing away from it” is such a great descriptor. I can apply that to so many things. It’s not really rejection;; it’s a conscious or unconscious choice!

Your sister's place is so cozy!
It is!
Thank you for taking us along on your lovely visit to Canada 🇨🇦

I love cottage country in Ontario! Also, just want to say you have such a lovely eye colour.
Thanks!

I’ve never read Who Killed the Curate! I hope it’s good! 😊

I'm definitely looking for cosy books reads, it's dark and weather's wet again, though we had snow last week and that's always pretty to look at!
The perfect weather for snuggling up with a good book and something warm to drink! 😊
I enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale 7 years ago, but as a Jane Eyre disliker, I understand the position you’ve gotten into. 😉
@@laurac56 Yes, it’s hard to pass on something that everyone else loves!
