always love a vlog from you :) just finished scaffolding yesterday - I’ll be curious to know what you think of it. (I liked it!) I also got big anthropologists vibes from the description

Can't wait for you to read The Coin! I really loved it.

Nothing better than a new mug!

Waitt already to book 3 thats great!!

A lovely, happy, very chic vlog :) Love reading fantasy to separate myself from real life, big fan! I also feel the very same about birkin bags! It’s the only high end designer bag that I find appealing. Feels so timeless and I love seeing people really truly use it

I started reading it because of you, halfway through book 1 and committed 💪🏼

Same! 😂

No judgement at all. 😅

the walk on’s by mars when you were lying down at the park and rupert when you did a reading update are 10/10

loving a what’s in my bag moment, that glossier lipstick is so pretty on you!!

ahhh so glad that you're enjoying the tamburins cologne! and always nice to see a vlog from you 💜 💜 💜

Really enjoyed spending the days with you. Also not a Sally Rooney fan either but love seeing people get so excited about the next book from their favourite author coming out. That reality tv book sounds great. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts to see whether it’s worth picking up. Love that I’m reading a NZ author while watching your vlog - JP Pomare - though crime fiction isn’t really my thing so not too sure why I am reading it 🤷‍♀️

I missed me some René vlog. I haven't felt eager to film anything lately but your vlog is making all giddy and excited about filming.

Lovely vlog! Making me want to pick agot again since i started it after beginning the show earlier this year but never progressed through it. Also the point about makeup for brown skin is soo true, undertones somehow always make everything look peachy or purple on me while its nude on everyone else 🤨

yay for more renée vlogs 😇 Excited to see what you think of Headshot when you get to it, I’ve been hesitant on picking it up!

omg missed you!! x

So happy to see a new video from you! Seoul looked amazing. I absolutely loved The Anthropologists, hope you do too!

The way I feel so seen when you said, "I don't like Deborah Levy's fiction". I thought I was the only one.

So happy to see you back here! And love the disney cross over episode with you and nathan!! ❤

So great to see you back! Where is your set from, it's gorgeous?

Yeah I’m a bit over the 20 something protagonists too . I’m in my 40s and want more protagonists from the geriatric group, tbh ; I feel there aren’t many of those or at least not many I’m aware of . Blahdiggityblah, appreciate the video as always 📚🪱💚

I need to read Percival Everett soon. Heard he's a great writer.

meeting you was a dream! and LOL to the mouthwash... can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Anthropologists! i have a good feeling you'll find it wholesome <3

Great to have you back! I saw that Miu Miu had literary pop-ups in major international cities over the summer. Persuasion is my fave Jane Austen novel.

Yay, so glad to see you🙂. I also do not like Deborah Levy's fiction but love her non-fiction.

loved this so much and you’ve given me the booking bug again!

I also did not enjoy acts of desperation for all the reasons you outlined and thought it was too much. And ironically I found the severed head very detached also given that it was a story about intimate relationships.

RENEEEE U WERE MISSED seeing u in Nathans video was like that’s bestieeeee.

i missed you!!! and agreed re all fours, you gotta read it fast! hagstone has been on my radar since feb only bc of the cover! lol i loved if only, i hope you like it. it's another book that you need to read fast

I missed you!!!

i’ve literally never clicked on a video so fast

Such a joy to see you two together. 💜

I bought "East of Eden" because of this video and started reading yesterday!

Having recently returned from Napoli, I was compelled to reread The Neapolitan Novels having previously read each as the English translations came out. This time, I completely immersed myself by reading them as one 1,680 page novel. Extraordinary! I’m currently following up by watching the series.

This was such an informative and helpful video!! I feel eager to read So Late in the Day, James, and Bradshaw Variations now. Glad to see you enjoyed Circe too. I absolutely loved The Palace of Eros if you’re still in the mood for Greek myth retellings. Great writing and storytelling in that one!

Wonderful to have found you with this great take on Parade, but equally exciting to find another Booktuber who is living in the southern hemisphere and wearing winter clothes!! Great video, thanks.

omg ur dog is so cute 😭 I haven't finished the road yet but personally I love it for its simplicity, also the "boringness" just goes to show how depraved their lives are, they're just trying to survive in this barren world, which highlights the dad-son relationship and his love for his son even more, or at least this is how I understood it (I'm only like 40% in so far) but I loved this reading vlog

i love a renée reading vlog!!! and loved your thoughts on parade. i can't wait to get into it x

“Mundane, repetitive but interesting” Ducks, Newburyport :)

what a packed reading month!! there’s nothing better than getting through a bunch of tinies. really intrigued by the miranda darling and lauren elkin. bradshaw variations is probably gonna be one of the next cusks that i pick up, seems like it’ll be kind of in line with arlington park!!

excited to watch this video! but just wanna ask: would you ever do a bookshelf tour? it looks so beautiful 🥰

a week later, i've finally finished watching this vlog (and also reading the book)! really agree about the deep vein of violence in all the sections, in different guises: destructive, generative, personal, social, illuminating, etc... i have to mull a bit more -- and i've certainly not read all cusk's written -- but this may be my favorite of her books? i look forward to the cuskapalooza wrap-up video! i loved yr ferrante vid :)

arlington park is also at the top of my list this year so far. can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the miranda july and danielle dutton when you get to them!! i personally love the really long vlogs, they’re so great to have on for company as i cook dinner or something like that!! so excited for the cusk wrap up and would love an all time faves video!!

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts, I am totally late to reading Cusk but plan to one day. I really enjoyed your outfits!

Loved hearing your thoughts on this one! And always love your vlogs. Hoping to get to this Cusk in the next month!

A nearly one hour new reading vlog from Renée about Parade?? Be still my beating heart...off to enjoy and come back here to comment afterwards; I have a suspicion you will adore this one like I did!

Perhaps G stands for genius? but like you say and what Cusk is showing, is that not all G's are equal; distinctly through gender. Also maybe acts of violence are more permitted/ tolerated by male G's than female G's? But then we may consider that the woman who attacks the wife in the first part of the novel is also a G? Is Cusk making any new statements on her usual preoccupations: art, motherhood and the female condition? The only thing I struggle with in her works that I've read so far, is that she doesn't quite confront her privilege or wealth or the intersections of her themes with race. It's all very bourgeois. Anyway your discussion provoked these thoughts and it was so very gratifying to listen to your insights on this book! 🌻

Coming back to this after finishing it because i just started it today! 💪
