    I love that you included The Goose Girl....I recommend it to all my friends, I feel like it's such an enchanting book that it transcends most modern literature and makes it a modern classic! Great suggestions!

    This was fantastic, Kate! You can tell how much thought you put into this! My poor TBR, I don't think it will ever recover lol.

    Great video! I wholeheartedly agree with the books on the list that I have read too. You made me want to read all of the books on the list I haven't read yet. My Goodreads TBR is getting so long. :)

    Amazing job! I read Mandy for the first time this year and LOVED it. It reminded me of the Secret Garden and A Little Princess.

    Would you consider giving some info on your editions in hardback? The Austin and Tolstoy were so beautiful.

    • @katehowereads
      @katehowereads  8 лет назад +1

      Unfortunately since filming this I've moved and my copy of Anna Karenina is in storage so I can't give you the ISBN number, I'm not sure what edition it is but here is a link to my Jane Austen heirloom collection:

    We have so many favorites in common and quite a few of yours i haven't read but want to 😃 My Family and Other Animals has been adapted for tv and is coming to pbs in September or October and it has 2 actors i love in it including Keeley Hawes plays the mother 😃

    • @katehowereads
      @katehowereads  8 лет назад

      I'm soooo excited for it! I love Keeley Hawes in Wives and Daughters and Our Mututal Friend.

  • @LifeBetweenWords1
    @LifeBetweenWords1 8 лет назад +1

    SO MANY of these books are childhood and/or adult favorites of mine as well! Not surprised. I think the only divergence was Les Mis. I wish I'd read the abridged version (blasphemous, I know!) because I think I would have enjoyed it more. Hugo's 50-100 page long detours that didn't have anything to do with the story were just TOO much for me. I kept thinking to myself while reading, "VICTOR. Listen to your editor!" Buuuut anyway...I digress. :)
    I will need to watch this video a few times to catch some of the titles I haven't read but KNOW I'll enjoy! And it's made me want to pick up old favorites. Like Mandy! And The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler! And Anne, obviously! I still need to read Betsy-Tacy. Have wanted to for years.

    • @katehowereads
      @katehowereads  8 лет назад

      You were spot on about Les Miserables and I actually think the same thing about reading the abridged one! 100 pages on the sewer system - really?!?!
      You know about Mandy!!! We really are reading soul sisters :D
      Betsy-Tacy is just sooooo fun!

    • @LifeBetweenWords1
      @LifeBetweenWords1 8 лет назад

      Oh my GOODNESS yes! I LOVE Mandy!! I haven't read it in years, but I've been itching to reread it forever now.

    • @katehowereads
      @katehowereads  8 лет назад

      +Life Between Words I just found it used for a dollar and will be re-reading it this Christmas.

    • @LifeBetweenWords1
      @LifeBetweenWords1 8 лет назад

      +Kate Howe up for another buddy read??

    • @katehowereads
      @katehowereads  8 лет назад

      +Life Between Words I looove the sound of that! Between Winter Solstice and that I think that we'll have such cozy charming December reads! 😄

    Kate, I congratulate you on the fine job you did here. I especially love listening to a young adult woman with no trace of "valley girl" speech. How did you manage to avoid it?

    • @katehowereads
      @katehowereads  Год назад

      Haha, glad I steered clear of valley girl speech! I think it helped that I rehearsed this prior to filming.
