    I appreciate that you take the time to make Booktube videos, even though your son is sick. I hope he gets better. I have enjoyed the live action Disney movies, but some of the criticisms of the live action Mulan have made me apprehensive. BTW your discussions on presidential biographies motivates me to want to read my Jefferson one and the ones about the Adams family.

    Thinking of Peter and those amazing Civil War maps! What a great find! I completely agree with you about Miss Read--although I loved the Fairacre books, Mrs Pringle storyline was so annoying it kept them from being perfect. The Thrush Green books feel more comforting and enjoyable. Fun fact just for you: I was reading about the life of E. M. Delafield (author of Diary of a Provincial Lady series) and learned that she was a huge fan of Charlotte Mary Yonge.

    Hello Kate! I hope you are doing well. I really enjoyed your video. I especially enjoyed the book with the Civil War maps. I have been to Vicksburg several times. My father was born and raised in Natchez. I do not hear a Mississippi accent when you speak like I heard my dad's. Keep up the great work. Have a great day!

    • @katehowereads

      Thanks so much! Sadly, I completely unintentionally lost my accent over time. My parents weren't native to the area so I already had less of an accent.

    This is my first year trying an Advent devotional, I picked up a copy of Winter Fire by GK Chesterton but I am excited to try it. I’ve been listening to The Bible In A Year podcast since the summer so I’m currently at the story of David. Not sure where I will end up by Christmas lol. I’m a bit nervous to try a devotional but I also really want to make this Advent more meaningful, especially since last December was the beginning a lot of trials for my mother and our whole family.
    I picked up a copy of a book called 52 Simple Ways to Make Christmas Special. I’m hoping to find some things in there to do with my kids this season, the book goes from Advent to Christmas to Epiphany.
    I totally understand “reading for your life”. It’s been a struggle to get back in. Funnily enough, last year when all the issues with my Mom started, I read Wintering. I would sit alone in the early morning and read a section at a time, almost like a devotional. I did think of you because I remembered you loving it. It was definitely so meaningful and still is. I was reading my Mom’s copy and she had made a few notes in the margins. I will be praying for you all and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Very excited to hear how your plans progress!

    Well, you did it. Although I love the fantasy genre, I 've had no interest in Ladyhawke for almost 40 years. But the theme you mentioned in it, of performing acts of disinterested good for others suddenly makes it sound rather wonderful. Thanx for another great tip! Wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving together.

    Lovely video, Kate! I have been looking forward to my Advent reading since last Advent. I have a devotional that uses R.S. Thomas's poetry as a point of reflection. And thanks to you helping me decide, I can't wait for Pilgrim's Inn! I just finished book 142 for my Vic Lit list! Only eight more to go this year! Oh no! I'm sorry Hopes and Fears didn't live up to its early promise for you. I thought Phoebe ended up being the stronger character. 🤔

    I used to criticize the Israelites for their unbelief and not trusting. And that carried over into the Jews like you were reading in 2 Chronicles... and then I look around and see people have never changed. Still the falling away from the God that loves them/us so much (not to mention the things we do as a people now that are similar to what they did throughout all the King's and judges).
