I prefer Voice over over the shopping and not music . I want to hear what u have to say

I’ve always admired these cloth books. Thank you for this video. I’m wondering however, if clear gesso could be applied to preserve the covers. Your cat is lovely.

I LOVE Wolf Hall! It’s an amazing book! I hope you enjoy it! 💕

ive recently read the hurricane season by fernanda melchor and it was a very heavy read but i ended up loving it. almost the entire book is written in run-on sentences so you cannot look away from the page, you feel like someone is pouring out their soul before you, just telling you how it is with no decorations. you get to know the perspectives of several characters which explore how poverty affects everyone in a tight-knit community. and on top of all that it is brutally honest about the misogyny impoverished women face. also a few days ago i found our lady of the nile by scholastique mukasonga, catch a hare by lana bastašić and how to kidnap the rich by rahul raina in a local thrift shop for dirt cheap! books by african and asian authors are so hard to come by here, usually I have to order them on the internet, but i was lucky this time.

Love the cosy vids. Especially when the weather in London isn’t up to much…

The oodie colour is SO your colour!

I was completely blown away by The Story of a New Name (as well as the first one, My Brilliant Friend). I'm only half way through the series and already devastated at the thought of it ending!

As Woody Allen said: "I've just speed-read War & Peace. It's about some Russians".

Dimension 20 is incredible! Brennan is such a talented DM and the the intrepid heroes work so well together as improvers and role-players. Dropout, the streaming service D20 is on is the best streaming service out there if you enjoy improv comedy and streaming services that actually care about their workers! My favourite season is either A Crown of Candy, a game of thrones style low(er) fantasy story set in a candyland world, that is much higher stakes than their other seasons; or Starstruck, a sci-fi space opera set in the world of the Starstruck comics which were written by Brennan's mom, that has some of my favourite D20 characters of all time in it.

I had been playing D&D as a barbarian for quite a long time. I really enjoyed it 😊

The best book I've read in the last 6 months it's Hungry by Roxanne gay and the catcher in the rye

I want to make a TBR jar but I just want a printout that I can cut up and not hurt my hand writing it all out.

I have an oodie but now I need another one because that green is everything

I haven’t actually enjoyed a lot of what I was reading but I sorta enjoyed Martyr! I want to start The Bee Sting terrified by its size. 😤😬

I am equally obsessed with my Oodie 😂 best book I’ve read in the last 6 months has to be The Covenant of Water! Enjoy your TBR jar 😊

Best books this month are James by Percival Everitt and you are here by David Nichols.

The Oodie looks soooo cosy! I don’t have a tbr jar rn so I can’t offer any tips on that. I just finished Hunchback of Notre Dame, I need to rewatch the Disney movie now 😅

❤📚❤️. Excited for your September tbr drawing! Maybe you have a big basket you could use to give you more room to choose the papers? I'm looking forward to the next video!

This is on my tbr list. I have a 1941 red hardcover edition. It's inscribed from a mother to her daughter which I found interesting.

Sad that the Forty Rules of Love was a bit of a miss as I’ve been reading Rumi recently and the premise sounds so interesting! I’ll just read more Rumi

the Oodie spon 😱 incredible

Cool cool, was there any book you didint liked? As for my experience its usually I buy 50 books and its like 5 of those that were worth the read...

I spot Ducks! Such an important read-loved it

I am from India 🇮🇳 and I have 3 books of this clothbound books and I stop collecting them after I noticed these books are not stitched 🧵 rather only glued … and I suspect the glue may crack after a decade and pages will surely come out … 😢 So, in my opinion these books are not perfect for collection … 😊

I have 27

I've mostly heard people pronounce Don Quijote/Quixote as [dɒn kiˈ ʃɒt] :)

Between shades of grey is absolutely AMAZING and you 100% should read it, HOWEVER only a very small part of it is set in Lithuania and I believe the author has a Lithuanian heritage (if I’m correct, her grandpa was Lithuanian), but she herself lives in the US. That being said, the book is absolutely incredible and you should read it. I’ve heard great things about Silva Rerum series by Kristina Sabaliauskiene

Great selection and perfect preparation for Shorty September ♥️

I have one vintage clothbound classic (Stoner) and I want to collect them all! The Night Circus one is especially stunning! I love the vintage watercolour classics, such as the Woolf collection, the Bronte sisters or the Austen collection. I collect the Penguin English library where I can, and have found a few second hand. They hold up well :) I can be quite rough with my books, and sometimes my black classic spines look less black as time goes on. But the English Library are floppy mostly, so no spine damage!

u r so cute and i love short books

Claire Keegan is a literary savant! I don't know how she says so much in so little words. She's a witch I reckon

How have I not read Lady Susan? Immediately ordered 😊

Really enjoyed this - thanks for the descriptions on all these. Now I want to start my own collection! One request maybe on a future video is to give us a more info on the actual reading experience, e.g. the paper color/quality, the font style/size, and if the books lay flat when open.

If u like Foster, watch a movie call the quiet girl

There's a science fiction version of the amazon originals fantasy books you showed first. Emergency skin in that series is amazing!

6 deaths was brutal but fantastic

I love short tiny teeny books! Makes me feel so productive ❤

I've been on a claire keegan roll since the weekend and I just love her stuff so much!

Hi, me and my best friend enjoyed your vlog. We have not heard of the Tea Dragon Society. It sounds interesting.

Oh I've never heard of the Tea Dragon Society but it looks precious!

I start reading W&P in January 2024. I have been taking it very slow. A chapter a day. Now just starting Book 12. Some parts of the book can be a little tedious but so many nuggets of wisdom, fun, despair and love. The characters are so interesting. Pierre is an obvious standout but you have Natascha, Mary, Andrew and Count Rostov to name a few. This book gives you battles, comets, balls and life in 1800s Russia warts and all. ❤ it!

So inspiring! I want to read my copy now but it's hard back and it weighs a tonne! Also you kinda look like the beautiful lady on the cover!! Hehe x

Has anyone ever asked Penguin what is going on here?

I recommend watching the BBC TV adaptation (edit: the one from 2016 with Lily James & Paul Dano)! It’s so SO good and it’s what made me wanna read it. My general rule with long classics that have a large cast of characters is to watch a film or tv adaptation first to familiarize myself with the characters, which is funny because I hate to do that for any other type of book, and stubbornly stay away from their adaptations until I’ve read the book.

a good book channel 📚 subscribed.

Late to this video, but oh well. I collect Everyman’s Library. Very affordable for what you get. Those are the ones I’m really building my collection around. But also I have a lot of Word Cloud Classics. They are colorful and pretty, but they don’t hold up that well with extended use so worth noting. If money is no issue then Easton Press… They are the most stunning, highest quality books I know. I would love to get a few later on. Thanks for a great video!

Another beautiful edition that is reasonably priced is the world cloud classics. I gave a few of them and love them.

side note but what sparkly shadow were you wearing on your eyelids in the first clip? so pretty!!

Russian classics take me at least half a year to read. Funny that you don't like the war parts of War and Peace. I'd probably be the same though.

Yay well done for finishing it! Great vlog as always! I love the new paint colour can’t wait to see it finished. I think I’m going to read War and Peace too!
