@@bouquinsbooks Our cat is more like a scarf than a hat. And sometimes she inadvertently makes me feel like I am dressed entirely in a cat hair outfit. 😏 I transcribed some notes from the Judi Dench audiobook, but already I want to reread sections so I will get my hands on a print copy. I’m glad you are enjoying it.
That ice cream sounds delicious - I must make some homemade ice cream. Joseph Coelho is a wonderful author and he is still our Children's Laureate - need to read that book. Code Dependent sounds like an important read.
@@spreadbookjoy I strongly encourage you to read The Boy Lost in the Maze. The illustrations create something like the effect of Charles Keeping’s in The God Beneath the Sea. The nod to Choose Your Own Adventure stories adds a rich layer as well. My favourite poem in the book is Battle Cry. I hope you will report back if you do read it. I had to take breaks from Code Dependent when I felt too distressed by it. I didn’t mention how much focus there is on the people who train AI and how their work is exploited.
Your ice cream flavors are so creative! I'm glad you also had fun reading and learning with The Bard and the Book. The Boy Lost in the Maze sounds so good. Have I mentioned before that I used to teach The Endless Steppe when I taught 6th grade back in the 90s? It's on my endless reread list!
@@readandre-read If you mentioned that you used to teach The Endless Steppe, I had forgotten it. I understand why you enjoy rereading it. I think you would like The Boy Lost in the Maze too.
@@shawnbreathesbooks I hadn’t realized until you mentioned it, but I think every booktuber who has visited me has tasted my ice cream: Sarah, Maya, Jolene and you. I will make sure to have some in the freezer when you and Kenji travel to Victoria. (I remain hopeful that you will. Dill pickle flavour especially for Kenji.)
Hi! Your channel hasn't popped up in my list lately but I was thinking about you and came on over. Hopefully I got my settings right so that I'll start seeing your videos again. I so love your videos and conversation and book talk.
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad to hear that my channel popped up in your feed. Tapping the notification bell should work to let you know when I post something new. I have been on retreat and away from internet access so there hasn’t been anything new for a while but perhaps you are interested in some older posts that you missed. 😘🥰
Oh yes to creativity with cookery and knitting! Hope some of this crops up in Framed! in September, for sure. Your ice cream flavours sound very imaginative, intriguing and delicious. Also, so good to hear audio books reviewed, because those can vary from a stranger with what feels like the 'wrong' voice paid to read a book, the author reading their own words (so much better) and the dramatised/special effects de luxe versions. On booktube, we still tend to hear more reviews about the words on a page/screen, so audiobook reviews is an important balance.
@@heathergregg9975 Do you listen to many audiobooks? I appreciate productions with ambient sounds-foley art-which is starting to be more common. The audio production of Whale Fall by Elizabeth O’Connor is one that comes to mind. Gives me happy ears. 😊
@@lindysmagpiereads Happy ears - what a felicitous description! I can sense a potential Booktube video or discussion coming on here - I bought an audiobook of a poet I admired, reading his autobiography - and was profoundly disappointed (an example of 'don't meet your heros'), I often play a sample of a book I want to hear - but feel the reader's voice is 'wrong' so can't bear to buy it! And people whose voices I love read books in genres I'm not keen on (!). However, I am thoroughly enjoying hearing Bono's autobio "Surrender" - as a musician and lyricist, I knew he'd make the audio good and it is (foley, his expressive voice, song clips) in ways I don't think the book can carry. Sounds and smells give immediacy, transport you. At same time, a musician friend listened to all of it (20 hours) and felt it was unbearably ego-filled. I'm about halfway through and feel the opposite.
@@heathergregg9975 Audiobook narration and production is a fine booktube topic. I wish I had the energy to make more videos than I already do. It’s interesting that your musician friend has had such a different response to the same memoir. It shows how true it is that we all read different books, even if it’s the same title and author. Reading is a creative act and we bring our own life experiences, thoughts and emotions to interpretations of text.
I read The Endless Steppe as a young adult and it had a huge impact on me. I searched it out and read it again with my kids when they were that age and loved it just as much. Ruta Sepetys had a book come out a few years ago that covers similar ground (Between Shades of Gray) and got a lot of buzz - I read it and it was okay, but imho doesn't hold a candle to The Endless Steppe. I'm with you that I'm not sure why it's not better known.
Hello Lindy, I loved your ice cream presentation, but I’m boring and just like plain old vanilla. I always find a book when watching your channel. I have my Shakespeare book. It’s a translation, but it has the original side-by-side. I think it’s Henry V, I’ve never read that one. I was told by more than one person I wasn’t college material so I know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you hear that. I will try to find endless step to add to my collection. I have quite a few middle grade books that are Holocaust related, maybe I should talk about them on my channel Thank you for the Maya Angelou book. I have so much more to read from her and about her. I’m starting her fourth Memoir, the heart of a woman. I’m learning so much from this remarkable phenomenal woman. I loved seeing Frida again and so did , Junette. Aloha friend.
@@MarilynMayaMendoza you might find Endless Steppe and Maya’s Song at your library. I haven’t read Henry V either (nor have I seen it performed). Let me know what you think.
I remember your ice cream. Creative and delicious! The cover of Maya’s Song is gorgeous. The art is beautiful. Loved the gardens and audio ending too. 😊💙
What a wonderful video, Lindy! I am still waiting for my library to get the Judy Dench book for me through interlibrary loan, but I think it is a book that I might want to own. The ice cream, Lindy! Oh my! My mouth is watering...
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Victoria isn’t on the way to Ireland, but perhaps in the future you will come for a visit. I promise to have ice cream ready. Interlibrary loan rules at the library where I worked were that a book had to be at least a year old before it could be requested (or loaned to another library). Is it not the same where you are? The other thing is that costs incurred were about $25 (this figure is from a decade ago) so my library would often purchase the requested book instead, if it wasn’t an expensive book. But postage and staffing costs are possibly lower in the USA.
@@lindysmagpiereads oh Lindy, I would love to visit one day. Our local libraries are all a part of a consortium, so you can check out a book from any of the libraries to which your library is linked. If it’s a new book, and if your library is able you can get it from one of the other libraries, you can keep it for two weeks. So no, we don’t have the same rules, I guess. They are usually pretty good about getting whatever you need. It can just take a bit of time sometimes.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Ah! What you are describing is something different than what we call interlibrary loans in Canada, which are loans made library-to-library between systems that aren’t connected. Sharing books between a consortium of libraries happens a lot here; it’s very convenient for library patrons and cost effective for libraries.
@@lindysmagpiereads The whole system has just been re-done recently, and we are connected to many more libraries than ever before. Now, when you look up a book in the online catalogue, you can see exactly how many copies are available and where they are. It seems to be a fairly huge network now. I suppose librarians would work with you to access something even if it didn’t appear anywhere in the network, but I don’t believe I’ve had to do that yet.
I wish I had memories of your ice cream Lindy - the 3 flavors you described here sound divine. I am envious of your snuggly cat... we have 2 cats neither of which are very snuggly. I've been looking around casually for a book for Framed in September. I am an artist and so am painting nearly every day and since I am also a bookish person, I have read so many books about artists & art. But, I found something interesting... a graphic novel (my first one) 'Babe in the Woods or the Art of Getting Lost'. It's by an artist, Julie Heffernan - and the graphics are gorgeous. I believe the story is autobiographical and quite interesting so far. I don't think I would have given this book a second look if not for all of the graphic novels you talk about on your channel.
@@melaniereed3494 Hi Melanie! It’s nice to hear from you. That Julie Heffernan book sounds great. It’s on order at the library so I have just now placed it on hold. I’m pleased to have influenced your reading of graphic novel format. 😊 The ice cream is a very easy no churn recipe that can be flavoured as you like. Search the internet for “three ingredients ice cream” and you should find many examples.
Yeah! Another thumbs up for Mobility. I totally agree that its a book you keep thinking about. Bunny is so slippery. As she got older I decided she wasn't so obtuse and oblivious. She was caught up in living a conventional life and chasing "success". I think she started to ignore unconvenient or uncomfortable truths. I watched a few author interviews. During one she said something like "do we really think things would be different if women were in charge if all the same systems are still in place?" Bunny was living the life "the system" is set up for her to have. Can you tell I'm still thinking about it?
