This sounds like the definition of “a provocative read”! I’m sold. Thanks for sharing your review. If you haven’t read “The housekeeper and the professor” by Yoko Ogawa. It’s a sweet story that feels like art- especially the B story that you don’t get a sort of resolution at the end.

Love the new nook! I have a gallery wall in my living room near my bookshelves of bookish art and also photographs of BookTube friends I've met IRL :)

You might be interested in Philomena by Martin Sixsmith. It's also a film, with Judy Dench

Yeah, "this book is super hard to get through" is not a compiment, although we're so confused as fans of literature that now the "educated" think it is a compliment... Jon Fosse is SUPER boring...

I love first books too. Especially in fantasy, I love the set up and explanation of a new world.

you are so crafty!! You contain multitudes! the room looks so great. Can't wait to stay there someday :P

What was your undergrad degree in? What got you interested in instructional design? Do you still do the same work now?

Wow, your place now looks so charmingly nice ❤ It makes me happy to see you making everything so cozy 😊

Sarah it looks so so good!! I did not know that you also crochet (amazing pillow designs), watercolour, cross stitch and embroider!! We need to see more of this 😊 I love cross stitch, watercolour and knitting, I need to learn to crochet. You've inspired me to finish projects and get them up. How did I never think of the idea to make a gallery wall with paper cutouts - so much easier. Also how did you hang your pictures as it didn't look like you used a hammer and nails but maybe that's just cause the video was sped up? Amazing work!!! I love it!

Beautiful job with your nook! I am now intrigued by the crossstitch pattern you shared for the fantasy travel spots. Would you say that the hyrule pattern is beginner friendly? I feel like my husband would love it haha

Watching some of your backlist videos, mainly your faves! Love these videos because they are so fun to go back to for easy recs :)

I love this kind of videos, you are so talented. The sun flower is so beautiful

That came together so well. It looks great!

I keep seeing the ministry of time and the cover puts me off, but now I want to read it! The hotel in Florida looked stunning. Working in a public sector job, I get nothing like this 😂 it looked so beautiful at night. I felt exactly the same about Brotherless Night, I had to take a few breaks due to the level of trauma and how it affected my mood. I read a romance afterwards as I needed something light and easy!

This was really enjoyable to watch! You are getting better and better with your vlogs. Sorry about the anxiety, but happy to see you did well.

KZfaq keeps dropping my subscriptions, which is really weird. So I subbed again! Happy Reading 😎📚👍

Currently reading you should also read year of the runaways by sunjeev

I read Ministry of Time on audio. Graham Gore was a real person from history. He was part of the failed Franklin expedition. I’d love to see it made into a film. I’ve been trying to cast it in my mind. Who would play Graham?

For some reason, it's become fashionable to dislike or hate The Secret History, sadly.

Hi. just one issue. I'm sure you know that Jack Nicholson did not write One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest. Please note that somewhere. Thanks You are so smart and pleasant . . .

I loved your video😊

This was such a fun idea and I would love an update video!

Make sure to remember any lies you ever told and to share food with the homeless and never lie reverse all lies ever told very important for you. Read the ingredients some stuff ain't right no ferrous should be

I have picked All Our Yesterdays by Natalia Ginzburg. The font size was marginal, but the print quality was better than others so it won out. It will be a nice lead into August's WIT month.

This was a great way to catch us up with your summer tbr and also do tbr spin 😊 I'm behind too, I haven't read June's book yet. July for me is Raw Speed by Tai Woffinden (a memoir by a motorcycle racer) - should be fun!! X

As an e-book reader I went the lazy way and compared the size of the titles on the cover. Got Asylum Road by Olivia Sudjic for this month's prompt.

Hah! One of my books is a middle grade, so that was an easy win. Someday I may catch up....

Cool prompt for this month. I like Videos like this, a little catch up

Thanks! This is to help pay for one of your Emily Henry books! I’m really looking forward to that video!

Love your content! <3 Hope you're doing well.

I am glad Misery didn’t win if only cause I feel that’s also a winter book

Usually, I read my TBR spin book first but this month, I’ve left it until last. Trying to finish it before midnight 😂. July’s book is ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’, which will count toward another challenge that I’m doing. 👍. I loved this video. Gotta love a catch-up

I totally agree with you on the Aunties trilogy. I was so disappointed in the second one. I have the 3rd book but I haven’t wanted to pick it up.

Dark materials series I had in my school library. I liked it.

Donde hallar respuesta a, terminara el sufrimiento?

I saw how many Poirot books there were and decided to pick up Miss Marple instead, lol

About a year ago I thought about reading all Agatha Christie books in publication order. I've read the first three (all Hercule Poirot) - liked the first and third ones, didn't like the second (Murder on the Links) much at all. I will likely continue, although I'm not in a hurry. So many other things that I'm more anxious to get to at the moment. I agree with the other comment I saw about drop in and out. I personally don't consider this a "series," more like her body of work in general. But of course, it's up to you! :)

I am in the middle of a similar number of series and it still doesn't stop me from starting new ones 😂 I often stall because I worry that I won't remember what happened in the last book, even though they tend to give reminders throughout. I am currently reading the second in the wolf den series, which is absolutely brilliant, so at least I'm making progress there! Would love to see progress updates.

It’s called a dualology

If you like Christie and you're looking for fun, less Detective Detective series, I would read the Miss Marple Series instead. Less books, more silly and fun, more different perspectives. Go for that one.

I love your expression in the thumbnail, like, “This is ridiculous, why am I like this?” 😂 Um, good luck? (I think my issue with continuing series is I have so much I want to read that going back to worlds I already know feels like stalling.)

The Stanley Hotel really is quite creepy.

Also love watching series videos so super happy you posted this!

I would suggest you to read the Poirot books but not in order, cruel but i did that way and i read every year 2-3 Poirots and i'm not burned out. Read first the ones that interest you most

the Poirot mysteries are super fun but you can definitely just drop in and out, order isn’t important. I read them whenever I find them used or in little free libraries but don’t usually seek out any specifically!

The hotel from The Shining is The Stanley IRL and you can take a tour. Fun 😁📚

If your farmer is the chronically single type (same), you can ask Krobus to be your roommate. We need a book rec for Krobus!

Birnam Wood 🤩

I loved this video and now I want to get my colours done too! But for sure I am the type of person that would buy an entirely new wardrobe to match my colours so maybe I shouldn't, to save my wallet.

I love that you are getting to experience seasons! Can't wait to hear what you think about North Woods.
