I love your collection so much, Gina! 😊🦋💙📚 So happy that you love the magazine I bought for you! What fun it was to find those golden books together! 🤩 Maybe we’ll find more this visit! See you for morning coffee! 😅☕️💞 Awesome video!!

Absolutely inspiring video! Brilliant and incredible book collection 👍🏻

Hi Gina, I have the same paperback edition of September, but it was $26.99 CAN. Books are so expensive in Canada! 😂

❤️📚❤️ What a special collection! I am reading September for the first time next month!

Good update, Gina! I’m trying to finish Kristin Lavransdatter! 😅

Hi Gina…I just recently found you…you were raving about Pilcher and Miss Read, so you got me…I immediately ordered 2 Thrush Green and September. I dug into September first. Oh my goodness, what a delight. I have not been much of a reader…but got stuck on psychological thrillers…you know…the girl on the train in the window of the couple upstairs😊 But you delivered me! Now on to Miss Read. Thank you for my introduction to cozy books and to booktube.

I have subscribed to Marilyn's channel. I'm really looking forward now to following both of you. Very enjoyable video - thank you!

So happy to have discovered your channel. I've just done this tag myself, lots of fun, this BookTube is a wonderful lark. I struggle with the idea of cancel culture also. It's a pickle, isn't it? I wonder if women suffer more hate comments than men? Is it a gendered nastiness, I wonder? I really like your open, friendly tone of voice, intelligent and engaging. I really look forward to following your bookish adventures.

I've enjoyeda few Trek books lately - as I kid I looked down on them, thinking them corny TV tie-ins. But some of them are quite good.

I try and help yous saying 'um' but i um always say it

The Oasis is the best device there is

Hi Gina, I love Winter Solstice and Elfrida too, although I would not call her elderly because I suppose I am elderly but I do not consider myself that way either. Ha. Anyway my all time favorite has to be DE Stevenson and Miss Buncle. I love house stories and Miss Buncle Married told a real dood one. AIso love Elizabeth Goudge and recently loved The White Witch a great historical novel. Now I want to reread some Norah Lofts. Her historical house books were great! 😊❤

I just love this lady and her love for books, I would rather have her book collection than a million!

I loved Sense and Sensibilty--can't believe it's been nearly 30 years since the film was released. Wow. I just started Vintage 1954, on the recommendation of Jen's Reading Life. Enjoying it!

Watching your videos make me feel super cozy ❤

Hi Gina. I really enjoyed your responses to the tag. I love my "old lady" books too. I also love Sarah Waters and May Sarton! (I did this tag the other day, too, and I also tagged Jenni and Becca--two phenomenal women, for sure!) Again, lovely job on this tag.

Hi Gina, I want to read September! I have it but haven’t read it yet! Thanks for the suggestion.😊😊😊 I am reading The Keeper of the Bees by Gene Stratton-Porter and just loving it so much.😊😊 About the English housekeeper, don’t you just love the thought of that? Someone to take care of our needs and a friendly face each day. But it is not our culture is it? Kind of unrealistic these days but we love to imagine ourselves in that time period. Thank you so much.❤

The umms don't bother me actually. Well... i am someone who is reading in multiple books. Currently about 12 i think, but for the first time 2 fiction books. I always kept it,, 1 fiction and the others were non-fiction. But the reason is, that ,next to my fantasy book atm, i am reading a Russian classic literature, which is pretty heavy, so i can have another book next to it. My fantasy at the moment is : A gathering of shadows by V.E.Schwab. And the classic is: Demons by Fjodor Dostojevski

Ugh, good luck in your effort to reduce "um" and "so"! I struggle with that so much too.

Thank you so much for the tag and kind words! I will have to get to this one very soon, I'm already racking my brain for who are good to talk about, so many. I read As We Are Now as my first Sarton this year, I enjoyed so much of the idea, structure, and writing, but that one is so bleak!!! I definitely need to read more of her work. Your lazy cow bathroom cabinet cleanup inspired me to do the same to finally this past weekend, I've been putting off, feels such a relief to declutter.

My word is "actually." I actually say actually way too often... even when it's not actually actual! I'm currently rereading "The Autumn's Brightness" by Daisy Newman.

I tried editing out my Umms for a while then I just realised everyone does it and I only notice it when it's me. I didn't try Star Trek books until I started watching booktube and I wish I'd discovered them when I was younger, I've had such a good time with them. I'll be reading September soon I think, perhaps not during shorty september/shaketember though sadly. Two of my workmates are in a long term bookclub and I just convinced them to try a Barbara Pym, I've not read that one!

Hi Gina! I just finished reading The Shell Seekers. Started reading In a Summer Season by Elizabeth Taylor. I plan to reread September, as well.

Hi Gina. I couldn't sleep again last night so got up and put on an audiobook. It is The Summer Fair by Heidi Swain. I love the Nightingale Square series. So this is a light cosy end of summer read. I realized into the second chapter that I missed the characters in this series. I am going to look up September. It is one I have not yet read.

Hmmm… I’ve read somewhere that ums aren’t particularly bad to do and may even be good… but I’ll never be able to find it. By some credentialed personage of course. So’s may be a different matter - verbally innocuous I think but I’ve seen it (and fallen into it myself) in writing and it seems a bit of a fad or tic. Ya know what I’m saying?!

Hi Gina, many many thanks for shouting out my channel and doing my first original book tag. We both love the old lady books and I remember the decorating author. We both loved from the 80s. I don’t remember her name offhand but I still have a T book she wrote. I read winter solstice because of you and really enjoyed it. Sending out lots of love and aloha your way.MMM

Good luck with the ‘um’s! They are the bane of my life along with ‘but’, ‘so’ and ‘yeah’. I think the idea of people who work for other people genuinely being friends is less easy to believe now as we are much more aware of power dynamics. Having said that, my mum worked for a family doing domestic work, cleaning etc, for years and she loved them and believed they loved her and were extremely kind and thoughtful with her, so she would say that it is genuine. I might disagree on exactly how genuine it can be but that’s the socialist in me! 😂

Love, love that cover of Sense and sensibility! I think I prefer it now to Pride and Prejudice. Rereads are so important as you see so many other things missed from the last time. I have the exact same edition of September! Picard was the last star trek show I saw. I am reserving a Barbara Cartland for garbaugust😅. August reading includes CJ Sansom , Dark Fire, very good 👍.

I love Star Trek! Book Trek - who knew?

I have the exact same problem with so, anyway, and ummm! Maybe we can keep each other on task to not say them! I think you did great in this video. I just finished my reread of The Shell Seekers and it was just as wonderful as ever. I think I’m going to reread September next month!

Surprise, surprise! I am presently reading September! Really enjoying it. I read The Shell Seekers in July and wasn't that crazy about it. I know everyone will jump on me for that. I had just come home from the"Evil Rehab" where they almost killed me numerous times! Seriously. Type 1 Diabetic here and they took me off my pump and gave shots. Antonio I was on pain med when I came home; so maybe it isn't a fair assessment. Will re-read another time. Gina, I have made something for you. Is it possible to have your home address? I promise NOT to bother you. Always good to see you. How is your father-in-law and your cat doing?? 🤗

Hi Gina, I'm participating in Garb August. I've read four books so far. A mix of Harlequin and single title romance, a YA fantasy with Winternight Trilogy vibes. (The series made me a historical fantasy reader in 2020. And a Shirley Jackson novel. She's cozy horror which is why I can read her books. I'll finish the month with another single title romance and a cozy mystery.

I love Star Trek Gina,I always have. I am a STOS and STNG girl. Nothing wrong with loving Trek. I love that P and P cover, it is so pretty. I found a copy of the Northanger Abbey one you have, and I love it!

Winter Solstice is that written, like.. each character has it's own chapter? Because if that's the case it's a must have for me!. I just love book where it has multiple characters and each chapter is from a different character perspective! .

Absolutely inspiring and brilliant books! Outstanding video as always👍

I would love to revisit Rosamund Pilcher. The only book of hers I know for sure I've read was The Shell Seekers, but I'm guessing there must be at least one other. Love Sarah Waters! We need a new one! Yes to all the cozy house content and vibes.
