Nice tag and interesting answers! I love libraries, too! They're such a huge treasure trove of riches! ❤ No library book sales? What?!? Oh, they're so great! Sounds like you have a wonderful library system there. I often have a shelf full of holds to pick up from the library. I think they definitely know my name. 😊

Libraries definitely need more love, great tag!!

Libraries have been a vital part of my life for over 60 years. This was a fun tag.

So amazed that you have three libraries and you are so great supporting them 😊

I *ALWAYS fall asleep when there are movies on. Thats how I know it’s a good one if I stay awake 😂(*not in the cinema 👀-well maybe a couple times 😝💤) Great answers! Thank you for tagging me!! ❤

Oh, I meant to ask: are libraries in the UK privately owned or are they run by the city? Is it free or do you have to pay like a fee? Here in Sweden it's actually law that every town must have a public library. All funded by the town. However, it really varies from town to town. In bigger cities, libraries are open every day of the week. In smaller towns, not so. As long as a town has a library, they are following the law, even if it's open just one day a week or so.

I read almost only library books, even though we have like a complete library of our own. 😂 It's a mental thing, I think. When it's a library book, you have to read it before it's due back. The book you own, you have all the time in the world to read. However, we really don't buy books anymore. Happens occasinally, if I read a book & really like it, I might buy it. Don't go to the library that often, I find the books I want on the library's web site, then I e-mail my husband. He's a librarian. Perfect!

3 libraries?! Lucky duck! 😂With the ebooks, did you read on an eReader or your phone? I hate reading on my phone but have rarely done so when I had no other way. 10-99 renewels! 😮 That's unheard of here. 3 is the max.

I love the idea of a film book group, now I want to start one myself 😂 I think I’ll have to do this tag, but my answers will probably be almost identical to yours. Librarians definitely know your name if you get regular holds. We know all of you 🤣

Congratulations on the subscribers 👋The poem you read was lovely ! I'm very interested in reading Blindness by Saramago, I'll get there one day or the other.

Enjoyed yr video and book tips, I remember finding 1984 rivetting, Kate Atkinson excellent - though I have not read Life after life, not so much Ishiguro tbh, must check out My Cousin Rachel, (my top ten would always include 'And then there were none' - maybe because I read it so young, but it still fascinates ) best regards

I hope you end up liking The Anniversary because I just put it on hold after hearing you talk about it!

Love love love this! Can’t wait to start opening mine. Thanks for the inspo!

I've only read 1 Grady Hendrix book which was the Southern Vampire one and loathed it, but I can't deny that the cover art on My Best Friend's Exorcism is some of the best I've seen.

I'm glad you had another 5 star book! You hated The Last Murder at the end of the world?? I gave it 3 stars and liked the twist but agree that it was quite messy.

I plan to read Make the Season Bright too, a bit before Christmas. Are you planning to read it soon?

Thank you. Enjoying your channel.

Thank you - very interesting list. I loved Frankenstein when I eventually read it in my 40s. Also thought 1984 was good. Haven't read the others but hope to try one or two of them one day. Loved Du Marier's Rebecca! And did the play version of My Cousin Rachel once. Love others of Ishiguro that I have read - not tried Remains of the Day. Glad to find your channel. Thanks for this lovely video.

I just wasn’t in the mood for Nazi’s this week 😂

Hi, Jennifer! Just found your channel and looking forward to following your reading journey. 😊 What an interesting video this one is! So many different kinds of books! Glad you warned us off 'The Last Murder at the End of the World' - that was recommended by a friend, but it really doesn't sound like my cup of tea. ☺️ The book of poetry sounds wonderful. Definitely picking up a couple copies of it - one for me and one for a gift! Thanks so much for sharing what you've been reading. ~ Kim

I agree with you on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, to me it is more about duality inside us. Seems like you had a pretty decent reading month!

Congrats on hitting 1k!!

Always love your wrap ups!! Thank you again for the heads re Saramago ☺️❤️

!!! tell me the word that was in gideon the ninth, i HAVe to kno!! also i loved hearing u talk abt the well of loneliness... i like to think of it as a novel that is an 'and', in the sense that its absolutely a lesbian novel & it was written to be a lesbian novel by the author etc AND i also think its a trans novel too & altho i dont think u ~need to read stephen as trans, she can definitely be read that way very easily & gender & sexuality isnt always seperatable anyway! that being said it is a v sad book imo lol but super iconic lol <3

Hi, I'm one of the new followers that found your channel through that video you mentioned. I thought, anyone who loves Frankenstein most have good taste. Love hearing you telling about books, really inspiring. I'm impressed by how much you read! You must be a fast reader & obviously don't have Netflix. 😉 No reading tips from me, I have only read Swedish books recently, that's not been translated to English. Also, been reading mostly biographies. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi & thanks!

You have made me more intrigued by burial plot, think I will look for it at the library. Wow a one star 😮😮😮 I won’t touch that book..

Oh, and congratulations on the new subscribers! Well deserved!

Love your honesty! This was an interesting compilation of books. You did quite a lot of reading in October. Thanks, as always, for your informative reviews.

Congratulations on 1K! I'm one of those new subscribers and really enjoying your content so much. I respect your opinions and how you aren't afraid to dnf. And that you re-read! Great video. I'm a big mystery reader but I've never Sherlock Holmes! I should.

I DNF’d an Ashley Winstead and it makes me really nervous to try another, but I am tempted by this one.

A 50 minute video! What a treat! I’ve started a new job this week and your uploads have been the perfect thing to listen to as I wind down out of work mode 🧡

Great haul! You’ve got some happy reading time ahead!

I have several copies of Seventeenth Summer by Maureen Daly which is my favorite book. I like having the hardcover that has color drawings throughout. I recently started listening to the book on tape but got immediately turned off. I've thought of it being made into a movie or TV series but it didn't seem like it could ever be done justice to. I haven't read any Sarah Waters but I did buy one - can't remember the name of it though and I won't be able to get to it for quite a while.

Rebecca is one of my very favorite books. I've read it so many times and it just lets me drift away when I read it.

I read Remains of the Day after I'd seen the movie. I really enjoyed the movie more though. I love the movie.

I love that you bought books because you didn't want them to feel bad! You are my people! Also, A Room with a View is absolutely delightful. I haven't read Maurice, so I can't compare them, but A Room with a View is a comfort read for me.

The Labyrinth House Murders sounds intriguing!

if feel like if anyone were to kidnap you, you would've been enticed into the van by signed Sarah Waters books dropped on the path like breadcrumbs 🤣

Fabulous! Love a book trolley

i wrote a comment out but it got lost :( there were so many nice covers in this & i rly hope u enjoy a room w a view! it isnt maurice ofc but u can definitely tell they were written by the same person & it has some lovely moments

Love that you read so widely. I loved the summer book and have put a winter book on my Christmas list! I also struggled with Beloved but it sounds like it would be a good idea to try Sula?

So many great books. Yeah for Maali Almeida ❤️Hope you enjoy everything you get to Jen.

Glad to have been directed to you by Jen the librarian. Great video love your enthusiasm. I’m a big Kate Atkinson fan. I think next year I’m going to finally start re-reading some of the books I’ve loved.

I've never read a Japanese murder mystery! I love Japanese fiction usually though... May have to delve into some of the mysteries 😊 Great haul!

You have so many gorgeous books, you know i especially love the children’s classics x

Totally agree about the Monster’s chapter in Frankenstein, some of the most heartfelt, devastating writing!

What a result finding that Sarah Waters!! I finished I Died at Fallow Hall yesterday and you’ll be pleased to hear that I gave it 2 stars 😂😂

What a fab haul!!

woo , i love watching hauls as i am generally nosy and love to see what people pick up!

Super selections there 👏 Hope you love Fallow Hall, and very pleased to hear Burial Rites is good - I’m taking it to Iceland with me in February!
