    Worthy little tour. Thanks for sharing them with us.Though I must confess that the librarian in me desperately want to organize them a bit. Fascinating color palette. The Jules Verne book that stuck out fits my library scheme perfectly.

    How fun! Your bookcase is lovely. The jewelry around the pretty books made me think of my mom, who used to use jewelry she didn’t wear to mark her favorite poems in books. Also, do you play cello?

    Hi! New to your channel. Only 25seconds in and I can already see your Proust trilogy 🤩 So jealous! And seeing the different versions of the clothbound classics! My sense and sensibility is light blue and pink been! I've been loving your content! I really enjoyed Mayor of Casterbridge more than another Thomas Hardy ❤ Hope you get round to it 🥰
    Edit: Gasp! Original Crime and Punishment! 🤩😱

    That's a lovely bookcase. I hope to have a personal bookcase of my own someday. I could definitely read more, but there are certain few reads that really helped shape the way I think for the better, and I might not have the hope I do today if I didn't read those books then.

  • @josh10722

    i feel i am inverted from most readers..i borrow tales of literature, and collect books about philosophy (Plato, Hobbs, Hegel, etc). that said, i do have lovely books from an artist called Lesley Pearce, and recently bought Holly Black's "the Folk of the Air" trilogy, which has been an absolute thrill to read.

    Dear Cinzia, I love your channel. Yes, it is amazing how your Penguin clothbound classics are in good condition. How? Most of the paint on my covers has worn off! I just read 'Middlemarch' and, within a week, the cover was looking a bit sad. I am also astonished that 'Moby-Dick''s your favourite book 'cos it's mine too.

  • @mattthemadbotanist
    @mattthemadbotanist 2 года назад +1

    You are just so lovely! I loved your book collection, you have my favorite copy of the Hobbit and I love the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy copy you have. I was wondering if you’ve ever read Taylor Caldwell’s “Captains and the Kings,” before? It’s one of my favorite books. Anyways, I really enjoy listening to you and hanging out. Just wanted to show you some love. ✌️💙💚

    Yes, lucky me.. a Cinzia bookshelf tour, loved it!
    I wonder why Moby Dick is your favourite book? I have never read it but heard so many people talk about it with very varying opinions. And also I was wondering: what are your thoughts about Lord of the Rings, Terry Pratchett ánd the Hitchkikers guide to the Galaxy? A lot of questions I know but I realized I don't know and I was really curious when I saw you show them to us!

  • @lemon1653

    Hey Sis👋 I recently commented on a different video of yours expressing my support and well-wishes on your RUclips journey, as well as life. Beyond my interest in your content, there’s a huge part of your video personality that reminds me of my teen daughter Camille :) She adores reading, writing, creating, and learning - I’m wicked proud of her! Unfortunately, in her school and amongst most her age, that often seems to leave her as the odd one out :( She does have some wonderful close friends, but overall I know she struggles with feeling different and alone. I don’t know how busy you are overall or if there would even be a willingness to - however, if you’d ever want to chat about the Heights/Jane sisters, Green Gables, etc I honestly believe she’d love that :)
    Just food for thought Miss Library Ma’am. Thanks for your time and for any possible consideration.

    I'll take Modern Libraries from the sixties over any other binding. They're nice without any phony baloney fancying up. No leather, cloth, acid free paper, and most importantly, sewn signatures. I don't know if they are sold in the UK or when they started doing so if they are.
    Unfortunately I've noticed that there are the people who have too many books and those who have none. In my bookseller days I just advised that people figure out what they are and embrace it.
    Unfortunately I'll have to ask that your channel be shut down for your failure to sort your books by subject, author surname, author given name, and title.

    • @CinziaDuBois
      @CinziaDuBois  2 года назад +2

      I don’t want to sort my books out by author, subject or title. Why would I want other people to know how to use my library? My library is just for me to use, not for anyone else. I know where all of my books are because I’ve organised it personally. It’s a code. I don’t want other people to know how to use it.

    If you didn't like Tess, I don't think you'll like Anna Karenina, either. Both portrayals of women are pure cringe, like a glimpse into a teen boy's diary.
