Good bookshelf content review, and nice bookshelves. We immediately said “Molly doesn’t live in an earthquake zone”, as we did in California for 12 years. Our bookshelves emptied during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. We have transitioned our reads to Kindle. We have some photography books, like by Ansel Adams, but our adult book count is down to maybe a dozen. The only full bookshelf we maintain is a children’s bookshelf for our grandkids. 😀

I am speaking of reading of a different kind here (music), but wanted to share that I have some old music from the late 1800's and up through the 1940's that my friends grandmother gave to her. Because you mentioned that you saved your book dusts covers, I thought I'd share that I copied the old music, and then framed the cover sheets that were so beautifully vintage in an artsy way. A fun way to decorate and enjoy what I love.

@mindie72 10 ай бұрын

Great tour! I work at a library and do the book repairs. You can use book glue for broken bindings and then wrap a couple of rubber bands around the book and let it sit 24 hours. I can’t tell how much of the cover in the spine is missing but hopefully that helps.

Loved your book tour and your happiness about books! One of my all-time favorite series from childhood is Little House on the Prairie. I still have the set I was given as a little girl, and I have re-read it multiple times.

@ginnyshayne2702 10 ай бұрын

As far as children’s classics from an American author is the Little House series (9 total) by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I have them in hardcover and will not part with them even though I have lived in a 360 sq ft cottage and now a small historic home.

I love videos where people discuss their reading habits and love of books in general and also favourites. I am glad to see that you re-read your favourites. Some people never do but the best books always give up something new on rereading. To me, not rereading is like only listening to a piece of music once, I don't get it. Enjoying your channel and I have subscribed.

I love keeping and the smell of musty old editions of books too, Molly. I have trouble getting rid of books - I also stack them in the corners of rooms! Thanks so much for highlighting and contributing to Andrew Painting's, Regeneration a really good state of the Scottish environment overview. The first such book I've read since a fascinating book on reclaiming deserts, back in the 1980's. I Capture The Castle is one of my favourites, too. I need to reread Brideshead Revisited. I don't like scary books/TV either - Robin Cook's, Coma was my limit - but I'm drawn back to it as it was a captivating story I have silly names for dogs too! Currently looking after a Topsy ...so Toppy That was a lovely vlog, Molly 😊

In the same collection of your children’s books are all of Jane Austen’s main books which I think you may like if you like those. I’m currently reading Anne of Green gables in that same collection and after my new Jane Austen quote embroidery, I plan on doing an anne of green gables quote the one on the back of the copy you have.

Aw, I also love The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and have it on my shelf! :) Yes, it is underrated. I love how you've dedicated a full episode to books. I don't remember whether I liked the Woman in White, but I loved The Picture of Dorian Gray. I remember reading it while sitting on a park bench in Leicester Square in London, and so many of the streets he wrote about surrounded me. To the Lighthouse was one of my favorite novels ever. Enjoy! :)

I think I'm covered for both autumn and winter, the more indoor seasons, although I'm not so much an indoorsy kind and love to be outside in the colder months as well, whenever possible. I'll take some of the books you suggested outside with me to be read outdoor, if the weather allows. They'll make my nice companions for the harsher months 😃 thank you so much 💓

Love this.! I've switched over to kindle as it's so much easier to read in bed 🙂 And to save space have just kept some of my favourite old books on the shelf. Wuthering Heights is also my all time favourite. I like the sound of "we used to east animals" but wonder whether it might be too upsetting if it talks about how things are now (I'm also vegan.) Will wait for your review.. Thanks Molly 💞

@@hippyhighlandliving Agatha Christie is one of my all time favourite authors and I have almost all of her books in paperback and reread them often. I've read her autobiography, which I enjoyed, but she also wrote another autobiography called "Come Tell Me How You Live" about the time she spent with her husband, who was an archaeologist, on his digs in the Middle East. It's about the trip there, the local people that she dealt with on a daily basis and how they lived there in general. Extremely interesting, highly amusing and really shows another side to her personality. Really worth the read :).
