I can attest to how fantastic Louise’s series on the W.P. Non-fiction Longlist was. I am a regular NF reader and thoroughly enjoyed the series - and now I am enjoying the books that sparked my attention based on her reviews. Glad to have been introduced to your channel and am looking forward to watching some of your videos.

Oh, boys and fiction! What a great day it was, when my child came home with a friend (they were 16 or 17), and he just got stuck at my fiction+ poetry shelves. And we discussed a bunch of them (including Plath, btw), and I got RECOMMENDATIONS (!). Of course, when he noted Ocean Vuong wanting to read it, I gifted the signed copy. He is always welcome in our house 😂

This was soooooo lovely to watch. What a trio. What a treat. Ps. I wouldn’t have killed the artist formerly known as my mother for shortlist spoilers… just not spoken to her for a while 😂

Well that's a relief! 😂 Thank you for your kind words, Simon! We loved talking with your Mom and watching her videos. 😻
