Hi 👋🏻 I’m Deea. A PNW girl who loves books and wants to join the conversations being had about them! I read mostly Sci-fi/Fantasy, classics, non fiction, magical realism, history & some mystery.
Curator of life. Orphan. Jesus Lover. Vegan who is allergic to chocolate. She is rather fond of words, cultivating gardens, the cadence of oceans, itty-bitty anything, hot tea or coffee, warm&silly pups, wondrous friendships, being cozy & the blessing of family.
Thanks for stopping by, pull up a seat by the hearth ~ I hope you’ll stay awhile!

BookTube Birthday Celebration ~Adult Novels we spin the Wheel !!!
Aw! I love Daddy Long-legs! And her other books!
I'm so glad! It's divisive , I've noticed, so it is always nice to know another caballero!
Great recommendations! I wondered if you watched the movie for "Babette's Feast" - if you haven't, I highly recommend it. They did such a great job of adapting the book, and it is nice to see everything play out on screen - especially since so much of it is related to food.
@@cindyr4918 you are the third recommender of the Babette movie.🤭 I haven’t watched it. I don’t really sit down to watch movies, but I may have since every one keeps saying how wonderful it is.🫰🏻
Love this! What I’ve read I heartily agree. Everything you suggested sounds wonderful! You may see a “Deea Made Me Do It” TBR soon. I wish I could get my hands on one of Bjorn’s books! I have also tried to track down The Gentle Art of Domesticity.
@@kellireadsalot I can’t find more of Bjorn affordably either! 😕 The Gentle art of Domesticity I was gifted, so I haven’t looked for it. ♥️ I can’t wait to see what you choose and blame me for 😂
Yesterday I watched this video and today I stumbled across an old copy of Daddy Long-Legs. It looks so cute with drawings and everything. ❤
@@Dinadoesyoga ohhhhh, Yay! I hope you love it!🥰
Nice selection, can’t wait to see what you’ve read 👀
@@Tinasmovinglibrary I think August wrap up is tomorrow…
The crow call sounds so interesting for the fall season, great reading month ☺️ Slowly catching up with your videos. My favorite read of July is Convenience Store Women!
@@Tinasmovinglibrary CSW was a good one! I wouldn’t recommend her Earthlings book though 🙄
So many great recommendations 💜I loved the Little Prince as a kid. It’s definitely time for a reread💜 The housekeeper and the professor sounds so charming
@@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary H&P works its way into your heart! ♥️ You would love it.😊
I’d love to see you do the Unicorn Book Tag 💜🤣
@@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary thank you, I’m writing it down!
Love your hair too 🥰beauty
@@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary 🥰
Deea💜oh wow! Sis you almost have 1k subs 🔥🙌🏾 thank you for tagging me. I’ll add this to my tag video to do too 💜
@@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary 😂 I had to go look. It feels like I’ve been hovering around 900 for a long while. So🤷🏻♀️ - - who knows when ❣️
Love these recs! I need to read more cozy books and I’m in the mood for them. Have you read any Susan Branch?
@@GloriaZThompson I have! And I had just watched 2 rec videos with her Isle of Dreams and Fine Romance recommended in both videos, so I took them off my list❣️ But I love them.
I’m loving these recommendations!! 🥰🍁
OH, YAY! I hope you find something lovely to read, Bethany! ❤
I loved The Anthropocene Reviewed and I listened to the audiobook. Must re-listen to it. So many amazing recommendations here that I’ve made a note of.
@@spreadbookjoy I haven’t liked John Green’s fiction but I loved the Podcast. My old flatmate bought me the book because we liked the Podcast so much!
Some very cozy reads, indeed! An Old Fashioned Girl is near and dear to my heart because I read it with my great aunt Mum when I was a child and we shared a bedroom and had a hot plate and made tea in the bedroom at night and she gave me her copies of that and Under the Lilacs. This was in the 1970’s!
@@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366 oh Celeste! I love that story! What a beautiful memory to have.
i stumbled across what you are looking for is in the library at my library and loving the cover i took it home with me and i loved it and i would happily read sequels...
@@curioushmm9027 isn’t it wonderful?! Hopeful & uplifting 💗
Yay! I'm so glad to see you do this tag! I loooove the picture you chose for you fantasy library. So warm and cozy! I also love the sound of your fantasy bookstore, especially creating it with your kids.
@@Coffee_and_a_Book it would definitely be a family affair ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ AI created the library! I should have had it update my plans for the shop too!
@@novelideea That would have been fun to see!
So many amazing suggestions! I LOVED your recommendations. 'Out of Africa' is one of my favorite movies and I started reading the book in my twenties. I need to give it another go. Babette's Feast sounds amazing. 🍂
@@WaterBearReads I haven’t read OoA all the way through but I loved Babette❣️
I have been wondering about 'The Iron Giant'. I have heard mixed reviews so wasn't sure if I should try it with my son. I loved the animated movie! Turmeric ginger is my favorite tea! I would get it loose leaf from a company called Soluna but sadly they stopped selling tea. 'Daddy Long Legs is one I keep meaning to get and read! I just found a very autumnal looking version!🍁
@@WaterBearReads You might peruse I G before reading it to him. As I said it is meant to explain a missing parent and the way society can treat children in a hard situation. So it’s difficult but heartwarming, and funny at moments, & a beautiful story in the end.
@@WaterBearReads Also, Heather, I love this blend of turmeric ginger with the meadowsweet ♥️ it’s 😋 yummy!
Oh I love 'The Little Prince' and I love the original illustrations!!!💙
@@WaterBearReads I do too! ♥️♥️🥀
Some of my favourites! 🦔 barberry 👨🏫ogawa 🤴de Saint-Exupéry, the aoyama's 📚and lots I'm meaning to read, including a gentleman in Moscow. I've only watched Bs Feast, great movie too 😊. Fab list.
@@PageTurnersWithKatja ohhh, I hope you will deeply appreciate A Gentleman ♥️ and I’d say “the book is better “ but I’ve never seen Babette’s movie ☺️
I read Cyrano in school and enjoyed it!
@@MorgansEndlessBookshelf oh🥹 that makes me so happy, Morgan!!
❤
Your pup is so sweet!
@@slowlivinghome she is very sweet. 💞 She brings us so much joy!
New here and I love your channel! You're so kind and soft and that is a welcome change in this busy and sometimes not so kind and soft online world.
@@slowlivinghome Welcome!🤗 Thank you for taking time to say hello! I love interacting with everyone ♥️ I hope to hear from you often!
I feel like a phenomenal woman after being tagged 🥰 Thank you, Deea!!!! I can't remember if you did the ktropeathon tag, but if you haven't, I would love to hear your answers bc I think Tiffany and I both tagged you 🤣
You ARE Phenomenal!! Thank you so much for reminding me of the K-Trope Tag!! I wrote it down and I'll get to it right away!
@@novelideea 🥹😍🥹😍 TYSM ❤️ And hesssss I'm so excited!!!
Loved hearing about your dream bookish things. So fun about your bookshop, I feel like you need to make it happen, haha!
hahaha... well, The kids have their own businesses and are far from home so probably not going to happen in the way we originally dreamed, but I still love dreaming about it. 🤗
Thanks for the tag! I love the sound of your dream bookstore, as well as your dream library. I'd definitely come to that bookstore for sure!
A dream is a wish your heart makes... haha So many lovely sounding bookshops and libraries!
I filmed the phenomenal women tag a few weeks ago and never uploaded it 😅 Jane Eyre was my answer as well! She is such a fantastic character. I love her strength of character and her ability to stay true to herself through strong temptation and difficult circumstances. Thank you for tagging me!
Oh no! You must post! I want to hear all your fabulous answers.
Your dream bookstore sounds awesome
I have loved nearly everyone's bookstores - They all sound so great!
Thank you! I will really have to get to this one soon. The Silent Type is a perfect name! Your shop is definitely the sort I love, the one I try to hit for indie bookstore day here is like that - new/used combined, alphabetical but by way of overflowing stacks and floor to ceiling shelves.
You are so lucky to have one like that in your area! I can not wait to hear your answers, my friend!
Wow, I really liked your answers to both tags, and I'm super impressed by the drawn-up plans for the bookshop!
😄 I used to have a landscape and architecture program on the computer and we would get books out from the library about house plans and try to incorporate "homey" ideas into our designs!💗
Thanks for tagging me, Deea! Great questions. I appreciate all of your answers and was nodding my head as you gave your reasons for each. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
I am so looking forward to hearing your answers Labor Day was really nice. We relaxed with family and celebrated some birthdays!
Hi Deea! I plan to read Anne Bronte next month! I agree with you on Jane Eyre - also a huge favorite if not my actual favorite! Ha! I love that name 'The Silent Type'! Very clever!💕
Hello, Dear Heather! I hope you adore Anne's works as much as I do!💞
❤🎉
🥰
As always, such an intriguing bunch of reading choices, and no joke there are just so many events I need to retire to keep up as much as I'd like. Yay for Pratchett! Otherwordly sounds very potentially intereresting, I'll look forward to what you think, then see if I want to seek it out.
@@ReadBecca I’m semiretired and I still can’t do it all -or even keep track of it all! I am very excited about wyrd sisters ♥️‼️
Looks like you're going to have a great reading time for these events!
Sofia Petrova sounds really interesting.
Hi Deea! My guests just departed so I hopped on to watch your video - I love your reading plan videos! I have been wanting to read 'The Peterkin Papers' for some time. If you read it I will be excited to hear what you think. Ooh the Epic of Gilgamesh is another one for me! I've had a copy of it on my bookshelf forever! Celeste and I will be buddy reading More All-of-a-Kind Family in September. I can't wait! Happy Reading!!!💕
Hello, my friend. I have never read "More of a Kind" but I adore "All of a Kind"! I hope to hear great things! I liked Epic of Gilgamesh when I read it it Classical Literature class long ago, we'll see if my tastes have changed. I have been wanting to read Peterkin forever also, it may be one of the first I dive into.
You’ve got some good books lined up for September.
I can not wait!
Some great plans! I’m very hopeful that we will be reading and enjoying the Aeneid together!
YAYAYAYAY! Me toooooooo!
I'm looking forward to reading The Aeneid! And I'd forgotten about Shaketember, so I'll have to figure out what I'm going to read for that.
@@Coffee_and_a_Book hearing thoughts from others as I read through is always one of my favorite things, but especially with the classical works❣️
Sofia Petrovna sounds so interesting!!
@@insearchofwonder 🤞🏻I am hopeful! Neither Courtney or I had heard of it… hopefully there isn’t a good reason we’ve never seen it before! 😂
@@novelideeaI think I'm going to try to read this one. It seems a bit hard to find from my searching. You can't know ALL the Russian books. Lol. I'll ask Igor about it. GR says it's read I'm school so not sure if that means Uni since I see that Northwestern reprinted a version or school in Russia like in the US there are certain books which lots of kids have to read.
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD oh Yay! We’ll have to keep each other posted (if you find it)!
The Lilies of the Field! I hadn’t realized it was a book, too! 😊
@@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366 it is! A little short book! I’m looking forward to finding out if I like Barrett’s writing ♥️
What a great list of books! I really enjoyed As You Like It. I think it’s a very underrated Shakespeare! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Rigoletto!
I have seen the play of As You Like It, but have never read it! I'm really excited about it! I love doing deep dives into pieces of music. I may Voxer you about it as I go!
Sounds like you have your month full! I don’t think I have committed to anything for September yet, other than continuing the Mistalong with Beautiful Minutiae and my two year long challenges. I could be wrong! 😂
Second Era (Wax and Wayne) is not my fave, so I decided to not do the rereads of those. I hope you love them ❤
@@novelideea I got the first book in but haven’t started. I want to finish up some of my other readathons before I start.
I'm going to read the Red Sept group read and C&P. I'm not reading any Communist type books although i do have the first 2 Gulag Archipelago in one bind up. I thought it was just going to be "read Russian " so i planned by what i own. I have a Russian fantasy/folktale, some Tolstoy short ones so they will count for shorty Sept, a Hardy that's short and Dune Messiah will be for Scifi Sept then I'll have i see how my mood strikes.
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD sounds like a great plan! ♥️What is the fantasy read you have? How did I miss Sci-fi September? Who’s hosting it?
@@novelideea Disturber of the Peace (Tale of Hodja Nasreddin) by Leonid Solovyov. I don't know if it's an official readathon but it used to be. I'm just doing my own thing and reading Dune Messiah then. Lol
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD never heard of it!
@@novelideea there is a guy in Sarah Reads discord who recommended it. I can't remember what his day job is (something to do with books or teaching...) but he's the Russian jeopardy champion. 🎉
Sounds like a lovely September. I'm so curious about the Wyrd Sisters you showed on screen.
@@PageTurnersWithKatja I found this play adapted from Pratchett’s book! I can never find Pratchett second hand so this caught my attention. It isn’t the same thing, but I thought it’d be fun to read since Pratchett meant it as a reimagined MacBeth❣️
I can't remember what I've read, but I know I've read some David Magarshack.
@@CourtneyReads do you remember liking his translation? I’m hoping it isn’t a Pavear and Volokonsky emotionless sitch 😂
@@novelideeaI hear ya on P&V. I read C&P in that translation the first time. This time I'm using Oliver Ready which I read is a really good translation. I'll read a different translation when I read it again.
@@novelideea yes, I do remember liking it. It may even have been a Solzhenitsyn book... but yeah, I haven't experienced anyone outside of P&V that strips the emotion so much.
@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD their translation was my first read too. And I enjoyed it, but when I read Garnett I could connect so much better.
@@CourtneyReads I read Garnett the first time, but I don’t own that copy any longer. My PV experience was with other Russian authors.
By the way John Howe is best known for his illustrations of Tolkein, he was one of the conceptional artists on the Lord of the Rings movies with Alan Lee. I have read the first Shardlake story and enjoyed it, I have another but its way out of order so I want to get the second one next.
@@hornbeam7131 oh! Thank you for the Howe info! That’s fascinating. The first two Shardlake have been my favorites! I’m on 5 but haven’t begun reading it quite yet. Thanks for taking time to comment ♥️
So much fun! 😂 It felt like a grade school sleepover game! ❤
I felt like I was learning a new language! It was great fun, if embarrassing.
@@novelideea one of my in -laws lost her hearing and learned to read lips. She says that when people articulate the words clearly she has learned to understand them!
