I’ve jus read forbidden notebook and I absolutely loved everything in it! Women as professionals, mothers, daughters, wives ❤The style, the background, everything in it is perfect
I've just got my copy of In Memoriam by Alice Winn. Can't wait to read this book. Sounds great. All the books you mentioned in this video sound amazing. Quartet is one I would definitely like to read as I love music. As a result of this video I've ordered a copy of The World and All That It Holds. I told my local independent book store yesterday I was only getting the book as you raved over it and I do trust your opinions. The owner of the bookshop said In Memoriam is fantastic and makes you cry.
Just finished In Memorium, I devoured it in two days, it is stunning! This book will make you weep, laugh with joy, weep again and shake you to your core. I think it is my personal favourite for the Booker this year, I cannot imagine another book moving me so. You will love it!
I couldn’t have said it better myself. It is a stunning book, beautifully written. A whirlwind of emotions. Dry wit to devastating sadness and loss held together with love in the truest sense. It is early but I think this will be my book of the year as, like you, I can’t imagine reading anything else which could touch me so.
I've read two others by Angela Saini, Inferior and Superior, both were very detailed and scientific but also very readable, some jaw dropping moments and times where things really clicked into place! Will definitely be looking forward to The Patriarchs
Love hearing the shout-out for the independent bookseller. It's quite frustrating the amount of people who buy their books from highly unethical massive companies like Amazon. I buy a lot of mine from Biblio here in New Zealand, or from physical shops around the city. Book Depository is also great, though it's a larger company, it has free shipping to anywhere in the world and I can at least know that they treat their workers well and pay fairly
I read Maps of our spectacular bodies the last year, I really enjoyed the book. The book is well-written. However, in my humble opinion the present time is more interesting than the past present. It's a heartbreaking tale
Yeah, I agree that the scenes in the present felt more effective and moving. But the importance of this past took on more meaning later in the book in a way I found interesting.
I'm currently reading The Caretakers by Amanda Bestor-Siegal. It's set in France after the 2016 terrorist attacks, and follows six different women in the au pair world. I'm about halfway through and loving it so far
I have nearly finished All that’s left unsaid by Tracey Lien which is on the Stella longlist. It’s very good. Then on to a couple more before tacking the Women’s Prize longlist.
Very exciting about your Bookshop spotlight! Hearing very good things about The Gospel According to the New World (even apart from the International Booker long listing). And very tantalizing about In Memoriam, which is a book I am very eager to read.
Chai time at cinnamon gardens and the family Chao sound interesting...adding them to my tbr... I have heard Deep Down is brilliant....do let us know your views please... Brother and sister enter the forest by Richard Mirabella and We were once a family by Roxanna asgarian are two new releases which have also made their way to my tbr...do check them out Eric... 😊
I read 2 of Joyce Carol Oates’s novels: “Blonde” and “We Were the Mulvaneys.” I know you are a subject matter expert. Could you recommend one or two more.
That's great and I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'd recommend "The Gravedigger's Daughter" next but I also made a video where I recommend my favourite JCO novels: ruclips.net/video/eohEVwY_AMc/видео.html
Thank you! Its always a pleasure to see your kind sweet face.
Thank you! 😊

I’ve added a few more to my TBR from your video. Thanks for the quality content!
Thanks! Hope you find some new favourites. 📚

Oh wow, great to hear it’s so impactful. I’m looking forward to it even more now.

Loved Future Fish! Hilarious quirky surreal Irish comedy and great to have a fun novel with a gay lead - and great cover too!

I know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover but the cover of Shankari Chandran's novel is stunning!
It is!

I believe the Book Depository was bought out by Amazon. 😢
@@allisonryder4781 oh my god nooo I just checked and you're right! That's so disappointing 😭
I’m very interested in This Devastating Fever and will probably order it soon. In Memoriam is on its way to me now!
Great! Hope you enjoy them.

I read & really enjoyed Forbidden notebook a few months ago.
Oh good!

Thank you! And I’ve just started reading it - my first from the International Booker list.
@@EricKarlAnderson I am starting with Pyre, which I just got today.
i'm hoping to read the Murakami book on writing, too. i'm currently working my way through his novels and enjoying the process. :)
That’s great! 📚
Recently picked up “In Memoriam.” Will be delving in shortly.
It’s beautiful ❤😊
Great, hope you enjoy it.

@@EricKarlAnderson Thank you so much. I really enjoy your channel.
@@EricKarlAnderson Thanks for the video link. I am excited to watch it. She has written so many books 📚.
Have you seen Jen the librarians review of In Memorium? She’s doing a masters in poetry of World War One.
I’ve not - I’ll go watch that after reading it.
Just here to say hi.
