Oh my goodness its me!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 And it was my birthday this week. I will send you an email

Ah I didn't comment because already have too many books. Just a note to let you know I really enjoy your videos and reviews! Thanks for hosting a giveaway

Religious apologia. Nothing more, nothing less. Just like Solzhenitsyn... propaganda to keep either their Orthodox church, or the West's Capitalist dystopia trundling along. Never believe in the myth makers - if you do, you will forever be their child.

Hey, come to Kolkata, we've Asia's greatest book stores in one street. This would be my gift to you...From Bengali to Hindi To Sanskrit to English...you name it

Been watching you channel for a while now and I absolutely love the combination of your calming presence and smart insights. I'm reading Vladimir by Julia May Jonas right now. It's supposed to be a commentary on me too since it is written from the perspective of the wife of professor who is accused of abusing his powers with his female students. Just 10 pages in so can't really form an opinion yet. Would love to join the giveaway. Btw: these long videos are the best!

i randomly came across your video and idk if you've done this before, but i need to get a bookshelf tour cause something about your book arrangements makes me feel so satisfied and happy ! just started reading again since semester break started and im currently reading the tattooist of auschwitz T.T thanks for the giveaway and goodluck to everyone joining !!

Hi Julia! I hope you're having a nice day. I happened to just come across your RUclips channel and I must say that your content is extremely pleasant and enjoyable to watch! :). The book that I am currently reading is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I haven't made that much progress on it as it is hard to really get into it I would say with how dense the text is as well as the fact that it is a classic. I will continue to read and I hope I will find more joy in reading it soon! Wishing everyone who enters the giveaway all the best of luck <3

Can I just ask - what edition were you reading?

Omg Julia an hour long video!!!!!! 😍😍 You spoil us. I also love the fact that this feels like a real deep dive into your taste. Your channel is amazing, I always love the insights you have on books and art plus you have the most relaxing presence. Good luck with the move!

thanks!, im going to Paris in a few weeks and this video helps me a lot

I just discovered your channel :) I wanted to thank you for the video, I'm enjoying it a lot! Also, as a small booktuber, I know some videos don't perform as others, but this will help & inspire someone I'm sure! I hope to see your new library in your new home :) I'll move in upcoming months too, I know how frustrating things can be, so I hope you'll enjoy the process and be happy in your new place :)

Thank you, Julia. This essay of yours was really refreshing, and yet full of valuable insight.

Thanks a lot for your review! I really love this book. I read it many times and saw something new every time. And I really, really like the character Koroviev! This is wonderful.

This is very interesting. Especially the detail about the possible origin of the use of the word „Master“ for the title character. The Master and Margarita has been one of my favourite novels since I first read it when it came out in an Icelandic translation when I was a teenager. I have reread it several times, in Icelandic and English (not in Russian, sadly). I also love, and reread regularly Black Snow, Bulgakov's roman à clef about his relationship with the Moscow Art Theatre and Stanislavsky. Thank you very much for this video!

Great analysis of one of my favourite books, thank you. ❤ I've read a couple of different translations into English and a little bit of it in Russian - I always recommend the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation.

Nice review. The context in which the novel was written explained what was not clear on reading it in English. Thanks a lot.

Peak of magic realism. But I still like A Dog's Heart more. The only thing I dont like about Bulgakov's writing is the chaos of the names. He can use one of 2 or 3 combinations of a name for the same character. And plus 1 a nickname.

@abookolive brought me here. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

I would love to learn Russian just so that I could read these classics in their original language because I’m sure just like when I read G. Garcia Marquez, 100 years of solitude in native Spanish. It has so much more color.

I currently live in Berlin and I am looking for some bookstores to visit, so this was great! 😊

great video! 👍I came here as a dog loving owner ❤ also curious why old paintings of dogs had human or wierd faces...

Just finished watching your video, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Great video as always. Pnin has one of the most lovable protagonists. Have fun x

Welcome back! 💚

My favourite book is with the white dog, because there are a lot of pictures there and almost no words 😊

🤩🤩 wow, what a wonderful video!

Please don’t feel rushed or obliged. Just post what you want. 👍

It's great to see you and glad you're well but do not feel bad - moving is the worst. I read Lolita when I was a teenager too and LOVED it. I thought it was beautifully written, sensual, and naughty. But then I tried to re-read it last year (as a 38/39 year old) and couldn't stomach it. I DNFed it like a third of the way in. LOL I'm also on a similar reading journey as you (focused on non-fiction and classics) and it has been great. I do sprinkle in contemporary and historical fiction to mix it up. Happy 2024 and happy reading!

love love this video! you are soo sweet 🫶🏻

disco elysium is basically a book so this is on brand

Nice to see this topic talked about; found it by recommendations, but.. short version: there's lots of games I consider art.. I wanted to recommend some, but then realized you basically just really liked the narrative; Disco Elysium does what it does well, but it doesn't do too much that's especially new or special in gaming. In fact, it's more like an attempt to employ a more narrative-heavy style RPG into a game than the usual D&D dungeon crawl fare that just try to trick people into thinking their product is more robust by giving lots of isolated choices and measure your good/bad on a score at the end. Anyway; games meant to ask you about your interactions with the world: it's a genre called "choices matter". I mean, they're not all like that, but if you check that genre, it wont take you long to find games that are all about such things. Though most often, they're more focused on it. Like how Frostpunk; surviving in the post-apocalypse, and choices to prioritize survival or morals are opposite each other often. There's also games that are variations on the WW2 train game; a psychology game where you are a conductor for a train taking Jews to concentration camps, and the goal of the study was to see people react as they connect the dots throughout the game, and even watch as some people start trying to sabotage successfully getting to their destination. Plenty of games like that too, where you're given a goal and asked to question the morals and what you're actually doing. Also unique experiences where you're supposed to just explore all possibilities like Stanley Parable. Then of course, there's dating sims and picking who to pursue occasionally involving them each having their different plots you choose to follow. And here I was just going to originally rattle off recommendation. I still want to throw these out there: Proteus which gives me chills, Everything which is trying to express a philosophy through gameplay, Gone Home which started a trend of light narrative with deeply complex game maps that tell more story through items laying around than the narrator gives you, Kentucky Route Zero which I'm too weak of heart to get through the narrative about debt in rural America, and Soda Drinker Pro which I'm too weak of bladder before I feel overwhelmed by it.

lol video games aren't art lmao

24:16 this was very powerful book. I cried

🤩

Yeaaa thanks for sharing.. when I get to Berlin I’ll check them out🎉❤great deals and books as well

Omg.. I want that Sontags book😊

My favourite is Mona Lisait bookshop. They have a good selection with low prices. And of course Boulinier. I got a hardcover impressionism book for just 2 euros from there. Sadly Shakespeare&Co doesn't look like a bookshop to me anymore :( More like a Disney world attraction with long lines, an instagram hotspot. And the cafe they opened is too modern compared to the warm interior of bookshop. Anyway thanks for the video.

Wow just found your channel.. can’t wait to see more 😊

What an excellent introduction you have here. Thank you for the video:)
