So glad you liked The Frozen River. I just started it and have heard so many great things about the story.
I can't wait to read The Frozen River now! I also have The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion saved on my kindle!
Please, please, please finish A Gentleman in Moscow 😭
Watching you make your tbr shelf it making me laugh so much 😂🩷
The Lost Year!!!! ❤️
This Tender Land intrigues me every time I see it!
Oh my goodness, I also start a lot of books! I think that’s our own little kind of mood reading!! 😅🤭
You are so much like me with starting books and not finishing them 🫠😅🫠😅
Oh no! I’m so sorry you got sick twice!!
I really want to get into the Emma books!
Yes & Amen to dnfing books and prioritizing the ones we are actually enjoying ❤ no shame in that!
Girl 😂 what is going on with you starting all these books and then stopping? Haha definitely a theme here! I think I would lose my mind lol also, that’s such a cool bookshelf!
I read book 1 of the Emma series. I did not care for it at all.
Happy New Year! Once I was past book #1, meeting the characters of the Emma series, I was hooked from then on. Such a refreshing read and I hope you enjoy it also 😊
Same!
I had such a good time watching this! Happy new year!
❤📚📚❤️ This Tender Land is very good. All your books sound good. Enjoy! A Gentleman in Moscow was my 5 star book for 2024.
❤ 📚
I have read The Bookshop on the Corner😊
New subscriber 😊
@@kamicastillo1451 thank you so much! 🥰💕
The Secret Book of Flora Lea was one of our library book club reads in 2024
I really want to get to it this year!
A 😊wonderful series is "The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion ." Book #9 is to be released later this year. 😊
@@kamicastillo1451 I’ve been seeing so many people read them! I think I’m going to try to pick them up in the next couple of months!
One of my favorite HF in 2024 was, The Echo of Old Books" by Barbara Davis ❤️
@@kamicastillo1451 ohh! I need to look that one up!! I love finding new historical fiction books I haven’t heard of!
I also loved Nora goes off script and her newest book that she wrote this year. I haven’t read same time next summer.
I’m glad you loved her books too! She writes the best romance!
@ and I am very picky about romance! Most either make me gag or rage because a flaw indicates to me that they need to break up and they don’t!
Ooh!! I’ve been wanting to read miss Morgan’s book brigade!
It really is a great book for book lovers!
I’ve been wanting to read A River Enchanted and Drinker of Ink for some time now. Maybe 2025 is the year!😀
Yes, please do! They are fantastic!!
I HAVE to read Drinker of Ink this year! 🤭
Yes! I think you would love it so much, Bethany!!
The only one that I have read is Mrs. Pollifax. I read it this past summer and really enjoyed it!
I love her! I’m glad you enjoyed it too! I can’t wait to read more!
This is such a great video!
Thank you!!
@@lakenlovesbooks You're welcome!
I was just thinking how I can’t wait for you to come out with this video and here it is 🤭🤭🤭
Aww I love that! I was so happy to see yours too!
I will eventually get to Mrs. Pollifax! It always sounds so good when I hear people talking about it. The book bridge also sounds good! I love historical fiction with books. ☺️
I really think you will love it, Keisha!! Mrs. Pollifax is the one of the best characters!
Drinker of Ink is on my top too! I am so glad you recommended it to me!
I’m so happy you loved it too! You were the first person that I thought of that I was thinking would love it!
I was so excited when I saw this was uploaded!!
I love that! ❤❤
Pleeeaseeee finish TOG!!! It’s soooo good! I started and finished ACOTAR and TOG in January😂 I read Assassin’s Blade first and agree! The Wishing Game and A River Enchanted have been on my TBR for soo long😅
Yes, I have to do it this year!!!
So cozy 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Thank you 🥰🥰
Thanks for the recommendations. I am going to look into these. I loved the Guernsey book. I highly recommend “ The Lightkeeper’s Daughters” by Jean Pendziwol. Loved it. Jeannine
I really loved the Kitchen House and I loved the Personal Librarian
Edward Rutherfurd is my favorite historical author of all time…Sarum, The Forest, Russia/Russka, Princes of Ireland, New York, and others all tell the stories of families that lived in the region starting with the formation of the country/ city. I couldn’t get enough of them and actually felt like I gained a deeper knowledge from each of them.
I. Like history and reading these type of stories.g
I loved A Cross Country Christmas it was very good. I am reading A Cross-Country Wedding and I’m liking it.
I have been thinking about A River Enchanted for a while, I think this is my push to pick it up soon!!! 🥰
Yes, Bethany!! It was so good!
It makes me so happy getting to see all of your Christmas decorations!
It was so fun putting them up!
I am in love with this vlog!
Aww thank you!! 🥰💕
The London Blitz took place during WWII, not WWI.
@@ZapgermsNow yes, I realized I misspoke so I put it on the screen!
The wind gave a bit of winter ambiance haha! My mom bought me How to Find Love in a Bookstore a few years ago, but I haven't gotten to it... The Secret Book of Flora Lea is great, but I think you would LOVE her Once Upon a Wardrobe!! A River Enchanted is one of my favorites so glad you gave it another try!!
I really can’t wait to get to Once Upon a Wardrobe! I feel like I have to get to it this winter!!
This was so much fun to watch!
Thank you!!
@@lakenlovesbooks You're welcome!
Patti Callahan also wrote Surviving Savannah which is AMAZING. So gut wrenching, but so good. Based on a true story too!
Ohhh I love books based on true story! I need to add that to my list!
شكرا جزيلاً اعجبني الفيديو كثيرا واتمني أن تسنح لي الفرصه لقراءه هذه الكتب
Shepherd’s Abiding was a wonderful read. ❤ Eileen
I did enjoy Once Upon a Wardrobe and really appreciate all the titles that you shared.
Yeah! Once upon a wardrobe!!
