Hi Laurie. As always, I love your vlog and I agree with many of the bookish things that annoy you. I wanted to help you out on your struggle to remember the online book store that went out of business in the UK. It's Book Depository. It must have been a very good source for books because I hear so many people who are STILL very sad about its demise. Keep up the great work! I appreciate you.

Thank you Julie! That was the one and yes, it was amazing. Blackwell's is good too though. I appreciate you too!

I borrowed The Briar Club from the library. I was supposed to have it back in a week- well that did not happen. Maybe next week! Hope to finish this weekend!

I have The Last Murder at the End of the World out right now (just between you and me, it's a couple of days overdue). I have about 75 pages left so hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow! It's really out of my comfort zone but I'm loving it. The Underground Railroad is such an interesting, compelling book - magical realism factors into the story, which I think is a a unique treatment of the topic. It's tough though. I think I'd have an even richer experience with it on a reread but no idea when that might happen.

I understand! I didn’t know there was magical realism! I am even more excited now.

I didn't know but I think mine has always been 21 so maybe it's a library setting? Or I did it years ago and don't remember. I thank you for telling me though! I have to look at those settings more carefully for sure. Someone told me I may be able to make it a black background like my kindle!

You are doing great! I enjoyed a Short Walk… and also felt like it was strangely connected to Addie LaRue. I bought the two Tommy orange books and the briar club and God of the Woods this week at Barnes & Noble. I’m a very bad girl.
@BooksInkandPaper8 күн бұрын
Not bad at all. Those all sound really good! I am hoping to get to or buy The Briar Club and God of the Woods too. I've heard so many good reviews of them both. Tommy Orange I need to look up again...can't remember what they are.

You are so close, one more week! I’m super excited for you. I’m in awe of your self control, especially as I seem to have none😊. I keep telling myself next year I’m going to do it, at least for one month at a time. I did a no buy last year for the first quarter and no lie, I was having withdrawals by the end of March. And I haven’t tried again since. The Underground Railroad is on my wish list and I’m adding A Short Walk to it now. I was thinking Addie Larue just before you said it💕 sweet gift from Lisa too.

Aww thank you! It has changed my perspective about some things. I'm glad you're going to read both of those. And that you thought of Addie Laura too. Let me know what you think!
