Well, this is just about the most endearing video I’ve watched in months. Plus it had me laughing out loud thinking about David talking to Clive Myrie next time he sees him and calling him by the wrong last name 😂

Oh Lauren you are going to get so much JOY from Snail in Space. It is brilliant!! Gail the Snail is my faaaaaave!

Lauren and David, it is delightful that you are supporting independent bookstores with your reading. It encourages me to keep reading also. Thank you. My husband is an avid reader and I need some reminding to read. Thanks for the nudge.

The future of Geography was my favourite book of 2023- I am a space geek though 😂 Looking forward to a lovely Saturday cosy reading night in June ❤

This video was so wholesome! Had me laughing out loud with yous 🥰 Wanted to say about the "really good actually" book that its not really that depressing imo... very real look at a breakup that hits our protagonist hard but also has lots of laugh out loud bits in it. Very emotionally affecting for sure but was just a really good well-rounded story imo. Hope you enjoy it when you get to pick it up! 😊

A great video. I share your excitement at opening a box of new books. I was the same in my librarian days when a box of new books arrived in the branch. An excitement second only to that of going on a stock buy to a bookshop. 😅

@MaerchenRinchen 2 ай бұрын

Oh, I hoped you guys would go for the nonfiction shortlist just because I wanted you to read Katherine Rundell's book. She is one of my favourite authors (I love her especially for her children's books) and the golden mole is a great read. You and David together in a video is always a treat :)

Finding Hildasay was great and I'm currently reading The Golden Mole! Looks a great non fiction short list

It was published in 1998 so I don't know if it held up (can't imagine it didn't), I recommend reading Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks to David if he hasn't yet

Hi Lauren and David Read James Rebanks book about being a Cumbrian farmer. From memory he was a bit of a tearaway as a boy but became a gr8t farmer and is a national spokesperson for all matters relating to sheep farming. So love to read his- i,m presuming- his wife,s book. Rdg a book by Isaac and the Egg author. Gr8t!

@anikav3092 2 ай бұрын

Lauren, you will love The Golden Mole! I read it last year and learnt so much. It’s split into different animals and is a quick read. I have a feeling you will hate Really Good Actually as it’s contemporary fiction 😅 but I didn’t mind it when I read it.

@normanorourke3244 2 ай бұрын

I have got three non Fiction from the list farmers wife, Clive Myrie and hildersay

@wooshell11 2 ай бұрын

Great video. The Final Year didn't inspire me as the blurb sounded judgy of mum going to the Bingo but no mention of Dad. I have a number of the books mentioned on fiction and non-fiction lists so will read along too. 💙
