Hey Elizabeth! What an awesome video! As usual so well presented! I also love that Sanditon PBS Masterpiece series! So many great recommendations! I am especially interested in the Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley. It sounds wonderful! Have a lovely weekend!🥰

Hi Elizabeth! What a cool video! So many great recommendations! I share your love for Robin McKinley's 'Beauty" and read her "The Hero and the Crown" over the winter months. I thought it was wonderful - I loved so much about it but really loved the friendship she had with her horse. 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit' is on our TBR for this summer! I added it after watching your video. Mary Stewart is another author I want to read more of, I have only read "The Moonspinners' and I could not get over how much I felt like I was in Greece. Have a lovely weekend!💛

Hi Elizabeth! I am the same as you in how I go about audio books - I tend to use them for rereads and they are usually classics. I have also began using them for new releases and then purchasing the book if I actually like it. Thank you for the Ready Player One reminder! I have been wanting to read it forever!

I love your channel so much. One of these days the algorithm is going to realize this and you are going to blow up! I can't wait for that to happen. I've seen The Mona Lisa Vanishes spoken of by other 'Booktubers' but I never felt compelled to pick it up and now, after your review, I just ordered it! I love Brett Helquist's work as well! Mercy Watson is one of our favorites! We are reading Impossible Creatures right now! My son is liking it - the jury is still out for me. I struggle with books that spend less time on character development - I'm very much a character person. But only halfway through. One of my friends just read Rooftoppers with her son and loved it! DaVinci's Cat looks wonderful...and we are safe because we already have plans to go to Italy in April! Ha ha! Have you read 'Masterpiece' by Elise Broach? Another heist- this one focused on Albrecht Durer. My son really loved it, as did I, LOVED this video! Thank you!🌷☘🌷🍀♥

@@sipzandstoriez9546 I feel I need to give Impossible Creatures a reread. My mind kept drifting, which sometimes has to do with reading out loud more than the actual book. I feel that if I read it to myself, I might get into it more. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Last they said anything is that they haven't been commissioned by scholastic yet for the 4th book but that they will do it once they're given the okay. Scholastic holds the rights in the US I believe so they need to get approval from them first before any new books. Fingers crossed they get that soon.

I am so pleased to see you review "Truman" by McCollough!! It is a fine book, and it deserves to be in more reviewers' number 1 slot! I was born and raised in KC,MO in the 60s and i remember him as a very quiet celebrity from Independence. I was brought up close to where he was raised, remember his childhood farmhouse, and my parents shopped at Truman Corners, and i went to Harry S Truman elementary school! Independence, MO is where he spent most of his life before and after the presidency, and that city is where his presidential library is located. I have enjoyed a number of David McCollough's books.... i read The Great Bridge and The Johnstown Flood in summer of 2020 and was extremely happy with them! It was first few months of lockdown and i really got on a nonfiction ride.

I'm so excited to see you again! How was your time in South Korea? I love all these book recommendations! Rudyard Kipling is one of my favorite authors - I really loved the Second Jungle Book- this summer I visited his Vermont home where he wrote Jungle Books among others. I vlogged it if interested. I loved Journey to the Center of the Earth! But its the only one I have read so far. I totally love Sam too! My son and I just started reading The Hobbit- I forgot how its actually rather funny at parts! David McCullough is one of those authors whose books I see everywhere but I never properly focused on, so I thank you so much for highlighting him. This is one of the best "Best of" lists I've come across! Well done!!
