Hello. This is Jeanne. On this channel, there will be videos on books and various other interests. I enjoy many things. Along with books, I like to go see plays, dance performances and bands play. I like to write and I also recently took some art classes, so I have begun to learn to paint. I am a bit artsy, but I also like to learn about current affairs and serious topics. Let's see how this goes.

Friday Reads on Oct 13 - Not the best day in the year
Glad you are back! Thanks for the video, Jeanne!
I hope you have an amazing reading month!
I recently hauled both The Paris Apartment and Verity. I'm not sure when I'll get to either, but I am looking forward to them. Enjoy your reads.
Enjoy your reads. Happy New Year!
Looks like a great line up. Have a great month.
I’ve always wanted to pick up reading again as a hobby, so I’m happy your channel appeared on my recommendation page ☺️ I always have such a hard time finding books that interest me as an adult, but these sound like great recommendations! I just subscribed and am excited to see what you recommend next ☺️☺️
These sound like good choices! Good luck with your reading :D
I will be reading The Only One Left too. I have never read anything by the author either. I hope you have a great month.
Also curious about you think of the old forest and the hobbits meet Tom? (might have the name wrong) section.
Thanks for posting.,
You should read The Hobbit, I absolutely loved it
Thanks. I have read The Hobbit and I might read it again
Loved the video! If you feel like it could you recommend some books to me, the books you showed seemed really interesting. ❤
What genres do you read? For classic scifi I find the Foundation interesting. There is a show.
For genres I enjoy scifi, fantasy, and not really a genre (At least that I know of) but more slow burn mysteries. I enjoyed reading Fahrenheit 451 too
Will definitely check out the foundation, just the title makes me excited to read! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Also would like to recommend reading YOU, of course if you like more psychological thriller novel definitely not a bedtime story but I enjoyed it.
I love the Practical Magic movie. It's one of my all time favs. But I read the book, and sadly I was disappointed in it. This is a very, very rare exception of the movie being better than the book. But I hope you have a happy reading week 😊
Under a Silent Moon and Passenger both sound good!
Maybe you should start to rate the book covers too!❤
i really enjoy your friday reads! thanks jeanne
great poem
congratulations! Is your book traditionally published or self published?
I've heard so many times about the Art of War. I've read the War of Art, but that's a totally different topic. lol
Great that you're taking part in Booktube at War. Rashid's books are great, as is The Guns of August.
I like the cover art for French Exit. I hope you enjoy your reads.
I read the tempest at school its very interesting ! hope you enjoy it
i also read it at school, it was nice
The Dark Witch along with the others in the series are some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it and your other reads.
The Plague sounds interesting. I hope you enjoy your reads.
Just wanted to say I love your videos. Very to the point and most of the books are recommendations I haven't seen before. Keep up the great content!
Lullabies for Little Criminals sounds wonderful. Thanks for showing this one!
I have heard the Book of Night Women is intense. Certain Dark Things is one I have been interested in. I haven't read anything by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, but there are several of her books I am interested in. Hope you have a great month, looks like a fantastic TBR.
𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚖
Fledgling sounds really good I will need to check that one out I hope you enjoy all of the books
Hope you are able to get to your roll overs. It is always nice to finish them up. Wishing you the best with your reading.
Even though she is very popular right now I still haven't read anything by Alice Oseman. Hope you enjoy your reads.
Thanks!
Jeanne, I'd love a video on your top 10 favourite books of all time or different genres. Thanks for the video!
I will consider it. Maybe after the long weekend.
I recently saw someone talking about Less and it sounded like a really good read. I hope you have been enjoying your reads.
Love the cover for Alligator. Hope you enjoy it along with your other reads.
I hope so too!
I'm reading the original Idiot by Dostoevsky this month. I didn't know it had a modern adaptation. I'll have to check that out when I'm done. I hope your reading month goes well!
Thanks for taking part in the tour!
Loving your videos! thanks for posting Jeanne :D XO
Burping or not -- We are all human and we all tend to have few hiccups and burps XOXO WE LOVE YOU JEANNE!!! :D XOXO
You kept burping?
I filmed the video after dinner, but even after hours later, I would burp towards the end of the video. I tried filming the video several times before I gave up and decided to edit the last part.
Jeanne Kwong ah I see haha! I’ve been watching all of your videos and you just seem like an interesting person. I’m definitely going to subscribe. (Fun fact, I’ve never seen a girl burp before lol!)
