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…
True my Oodie came at the perfect time!!
The oodie colour is SO your colour!
Thank you so much!!!
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!
I’ve read the first one and felt like I was missing something! Maybe I need to try again, or carry on the series
As Woody Allen said: "I've just speed-read War & Peace. It's about some Russians".
He’s not wrong 😂
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.
as far as my D&D characters, I have: A tiefling oath of redemption paladin who was a lycanthrope in a cult for Malar before the campaign, thus the oath of redemption, and was the the first character I ever played! She is still one of my favourites and I got so emotional when we wrapped up her campaign. An eladrin fiend warlock who comes from a very important wizarding family and could just never get wizardry. she studied hard but just couldn't cast. so she was approached by mephistopheles, the devil of wizards, and he offered her spell casting in return for converting wizards to his service. A firbolg life cleric and wildfire druid who is on her year abroad adventuring. She is very naive and gullible and has a wildfire spirit companion in the form of monarch butterfly faerie dragon. A sea-elf tempest cleric who is trying to find the assassin who killed her fiancee, who also happened to be her princess and the person she was charged with protecting. She is also currently the number one suspect for her people so she is on the run. A melusine (mechanically elf with a swim speed) magical trickster rogue who is a member of a society dedicated to bringing back King Arthur. she has recently begun having visions and receiving messages from someone who she believes to be the lady of the lake trying to get her to find powerful artefacts in support of the mission to bring Arthur back.
I had been playing D&D as a barbarian for quite a long time. I really enjoyed it 😊
My newest idea is to do combine the best of both and do a barbarian wood elf!! If that works hahah
The best book I've read in the last 6 months it's Hungry by Roxanne gay and the catcher in the rye
I love catcher in the Rye! And need to read more of Roxanne Gay
@@LydLoves Hunger is quite raw. Would love to hear your take on that
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.
That’s a good idea because this took me toooo long hahaha
I have an oodie but now I need another one because that green is everything
It’s so good isn’t it!! What colour do you have??
@@LydLoves My whole life is pink.
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. 😤😬
Me too, it’s putting me off the Bee Sting even though I know it will be good!
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 😊
I’ve heard so many good things about that book! And thank you!☺️ 💚
Best books this month are James by Percival Everitt and you are here by David Nichols.
Ooh James is on my list to buy soon! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
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 😅
I love that movie!! & yes the Oodie is sooo cozy I’m loving it
❤📚❤️. 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!
Great idea!! Thank you!!💚
@@LydLoves You're welcome 😊
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.
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it!
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
Yes just stick to the original text I reckon!!
the Oodie spon 😱 incredible
Right!!!? So happy with my Oodie!!
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...
Which ones did you like? I can try and recommend you a book!
I spot Ducks! Such an important read-loved it
I’m excited to read 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 agree!
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
Oh really good to know, thank you!!💚
Great selection and perfect preparation for Shorty September ♥️
I didn't even know about Shorty September! This is perfect!
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
Hehe thank you!!!
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
Truly a witch!! I can’t wait to read more of her
How have I not read Lady Susan? Immediately ordered 😊
Let me know what you think! It's so silly, and different from her other books
@@LydLovesjust started it and I love it it’s sooo funny
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.
Great suggestion, will do next time! Thanks for watching!
If u like Foster, watch a movie call the quiet girl
Thank you, i'll check it out!
@@LydLoves The film is even more moving than the story, so be prepared. I first saw "The Quiet Girl" last March (2023) at my local independent cinema, and there's not a day goes by that I don't think about it. The film is only 95 minutes long, so set aside some time when you can turn your phone off, get rid of any pesky flies, and sit back and watch it undisturbed, "The Quiet Girl" is in Irish and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film last year, but lost out to "All Quiet on the Western Front", an inferior film, in my opinion.
There's a science fiction version of the amazon originals fantasy books you showed first. Emergency skin in that series is amazing!
I've got these on my TBR, and want to start with Emergency Skin! I love N K Jemisin
6 deaths was brutal but fantastic
Agreed!
I love short tiny teeny books! Makes me feel so productive ❤
Me too!! So satisfying
I've been on a claire keegan roll since the weekend and I just love her stuff so much!
Me too, I’m so obsessed!!
Hi, me and my best friend enjoyed your vlog. We have not heard of the Tea Dragon Society. It sounds interesting.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed
Oh I've never heard of the Tea Dragon Society but it looks precious!
They truly are so precious! Literally like drinking tea in the form of a book!
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!
I listened to the audio, whilst reading along. This helped me with the Russian names.
I totally agree!! Best way to read it is slowly to take it all in. So glad you’re enjoying it!
One battle scene I really enjoyed was Pierre embroiled in the Battle of Borodino. In his usual bumbling way he was there are a spectator, whilst men died left, right and centre around him. One of Europes bloodiest battles. Tolstoy is a genius. Also in the first battle at the beginning of the book the French trick the Russians and cross the bridge, showing that in most of these battles they really are being led by donkeys, with zero military strategy.
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
Thank you so much!! Such a compliment 🥰💚
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.
This is such a good idea! I’m definitely going to watch it now, and will do this with other long classics before I read them!
@@xneenz I remember the affair with Anatole and Natasha being particularly smoldering.
@@lyramidsummer5508 yess, the affair with Anatole was my favorite part!! They had so much chemistry and now I have a massive crush on Callum Turner because of this show. And the soundtrack is DIVINE. I immediately ordered a copy of W&P after that episode lol.
a good book channel 📚 subscribed.
Thank you!🥰
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!
Good to know re Cloud Classics! Thanks for watching!
Another beautiful edition that is reasonably priced is the world cloud classics. I gave a few of them and love them.
I hadn't heard of them before, they're so pretty!
side note but what sparkly shadow were you wearing on your eyelids in the first clip? so pretty!!
Thank you!! It’s my favourite! It’s urban decay, called Moondust!
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.
That would have been me if I wasn’t vlogging it I fear! And even then, took me a LONG time compared to other books! 💚
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!
Thank you!! Yes please do if love to know what you think!!💚
