Thank you Louise, another great video jam packed with compelling recommendations. I adored black Butterflies too and have just given it to my son who is off to uni....he's loving it so far as well. I can't wait to see what she writes next. I'm glad to hear you had a good time away and gearing yourself up I imagine, for the start of term😊 Happy reading 📚

💕😀xx thanks Louise. Great choices as always. I’ve got a copy of pet waiting for me in my library. Can’t wait to start reading! At the moment I’m reading Barbara Comyns. I would thoroughly recommend all of hers. Most unusual reads. So glad you enjoyed your holiday. Back to the chalk face next week I expect for you. Lots of love.🥰

I'm so glad you're feeling better! Thread Ripper would be great for Shorty September! Thanks for reviewing it because I've never heard of it. I've never read Max Porter, but I hope to soon! Loved hearing about the books you enjoyed and how they've shaped you thus far this year :)

Hooray for Violets 🎉 and for Max Porter. I need to read Shy. I also need to read Thread Ripper. I may have to try Catherine Chidgey again as Pet does sound super good. I thought The Schoolhouse might make the list. I’ll be reading that soon.

Thanx Louise 👍🤓 I’ve read “Violets” (because Simon recommended it !!), “Demon Copperhead” & “Black Butterflies” - all special books 👏🏻 I’ve borrowed Mike Parker’s from the library (another choice triggered by SS 😉) I especially want to read those by Amalie Smith & Catherine Chidgey. Hope you continue to feel better x

Hey there - these books were written during the Harlem Renaissance - 20’s. She died penniless, unfortunately. My guess for the exposure is the Rebecca Hall movie made of Passing last year on Netflix. I love these and have taught both of them.

Ooo! Thank you. Must watch the movie- was not aware of it 🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡📚📚📚
@thomasceneri867 10 ай бұрын
@@louisesavidgemuses4135 Sure! Hopefully, it’s still on Netflix. I believe what prompted her to make a film version of Passing was reading it and later discovering that her mother’s father was African-American ( her mother is American). I love Passing so much - it’s so elusive.

I enjoyed Pet but there can only be one Miss Jean Brodie 😂 the creme de la creme. Anything likened to Muriel Spark is cat nip for me. I'm halfway through The Schoolhouse on your recommendation, though finding the police sections less interesting than the dodgy school and current day Isobel sections. Why does the horse have no mane or tail? Do we find out?
