I voted for Clytemnestra. The Mercies sounds interesting, but I’m not at all religious and the witch hunting aspect might not be my thing. My Brilliant Friend is one I’ve got my eye on if it gets selected in future, though it might be hard to live up to the hype. I hope the vote turns out well.
Fun! Thank you for voting! 😊 I'm not religious either, I just want to see what the women do when the outsiders arrive 😂 But there's no pressure to be interested in all of the books of course, or any for that matter! All open invitation. Yes, My Brilliant Friend is on my list as well, and I know more people want to read that. I'm trying to manage my expectations too. I'm not sure if it's for me at all to be honest, but I'm still curious, and hopefully I'll like it :) I thought I had it on the list of suggestions, but I'll add it if it isnt on there already.
Rain in the summer? BLASPHEMYYYYYY for us Californians 😂 Thank you so much for always having these early prompts because I can follow (1984 is my PRIORITY to finish before August). I'm making good way through all 1984. Can't wait to hear you discuss about it! I'll be joining for August too w/ Pachinko 🥰 "If you don't want to read it, I will" 😂 The Mercies seem so orange on the camera! I thought for sure you would've picked that for the color. HAHA. Did you notice that almost all the books are orange too? I think this month... I'll try something new and pick Clytemnestra for September with you because I support women's wrongs ✨ jkjk but the plot seem so interesting! The Mercies also sounds good too! I was between the two. THE ENDING ELLEN. But also me HAHA
So much rain! 😂 To the point where the water level in the lake is significantly higher. It's good though, it's been more on the drought side for the past few summers, so this feels more like a typical old Swedish summer. Thank you for suggesting I do the selection earlier, it definitely works out better for everyone! I'm so excited about Panchinko, I'm so glad you're joining for that as well! 💜 Haha well I really want to read it, and I'm glad you're going with that one too! 😁 It didn't get a lot of votes last time, but it looks like it's doing better this time around! Anything can happen in a week though. They are a bit orange, but I think there's a bit of a yellow tint on the video as well, but yes, both prompts guided me right in the end. I have faith in the Jar! 😂 The color palette is perfect for September, so it was all meant to be! Haha omg I look so stupid, but that's probably the majority of the footage haha my two brain cells fighting it out 😂
@@ellenmadebookclub That's good to hear!! We almost never experience rain here 😂 Thunderstorm? Never heard of them. I didn't experience rain in the summer until I worked in the midwest for a bit. I'm so happy you started doing it!! I feel like I can easily join now without stressing if I can squeeze in for the month 🥰 I think it might be a top pick this month!! Synopsis is definitely interesting!! I haven't picked in the actually until you told me about the community tab. It's not really obvious and I wish it'll post on the front page of youtube or something. The TBR jar doesn't fail! I love watching you pick your collection from that. That's the only thing that I love about having a physical collection because I can actually look and pick. Whereas with my digital collection makes it less fun, I think 🤣 It's OK the amount of clips I have to cut out because that's me HAHA.
@@itsmimiduong I know, it should turn up on your subscription page, but you can never tell what YT is up to 😂 I hope you’ve voted now in any case 😊 Yes I prefer the physical ones too, it’s easier to see them, the digital or library ones there are so many of so then my little brain cells would have an even harder time choosing 😂 Glad I’m not alone in the stupid stare hahaha
@@ellenmadebookclub I have!! I (now) know to check out your channel page every once in a while 😂 Didn't even realize about the community tab!! SO COOL. Ability to vote and talk to others OUTSIDE of videos! I know Sula wasn't top 2 for August but I found my old Sula video to include for August when I mention your book club 🤣I dug through my emails to get the old YT channel. I scripted my videos before to stop that but still end up in that position!! Free form all the way now
You have such a great variety of books in your library. Crooked Plow sounds interesting and I need to find a book for the 52 Book Challenge that won the Booker Award. The Power sounds very good too. I'm really going to try to join in for Sept.
@@TheLibraryMouseGina Thank you ☺️ I think it sounds so interesting too! I don’t think it’s won, but maybe shortlisted will do? 😊 You’re very welcome to join!
Such a great idea. I have been very slumpy lately so reading books I might not have chosen may help me! Liked and subscribed. Heading over to your community page to vote.
@@ellenmadebookclub Me too! I don't often get slumpy but I think this will help. Thanks for the idea - I don't think BookTube has enough book clubs, or I haven't found them. There are so many great events being hosted but I like your idea very much.
@@helenclare3250 I agree! I wanted something that was accessible to anyone anytime so this was the best I could come up with ^^ It’s new and trial and error, but a new video should be coming up soon, on 1984, Parable of the Sower and A man called Ove 😊 And August is Pachinko and Song of Achilles, just in case you missed it and want to join in on any of them! 😊
I always hear about books I’ve never heard of before on your channel! Which I love btw. I have the power so I would be curious to see how it is, as I don’t hear many people talking about it!
@@onceuponabookishsteph That’s good to hear! Thank you 🥰 It looks like The Power might be a pick, so let’s see what we think about it in September 😊 I’ve heard mixed things, but I’m curious too!
Love the color palette and feminist vibes!! Just voted in the community tab. Also I see Beartown as a potential for October and I would love that! I was just thinking yesterday that I want to re-read it and then continue on in the series, so that would be perfect to do in the fall/winter 😊 Also, dying laughing at the blooper at the end 😂😂
I turned out very pretty! It's a bit of an odd bunch, but I'm still excited for all of them! 😁 I'm reading Beartown as a buddy read with a couple of people in October already, so I thought it might work as a book club option as well, and then possibly continuing with the other books over winter, so that's perfect that you thought that too! Haha I'm glad 😂😂 It's very humbling, this bookubing thing! :D
@@ellenmadebookclub Are we still on for a buddy read of Parable of the Talents in August? ^^ Ah, I got excited when you mentioned My Brilliant Friend because I'm really keen to read it (heard it's perfect for summer), but I'm also trying not to buy too many books, and the summer vibes don't feel like a strong enough reason for me to get it. If it was for a book club or buddy read... then it'd be another story... 😇😇 ahah
@@Curious-Cat Yes, we are! I think I can pick my copy up from the library next week, but I'm not sure how long I have it for. If there are more people waiting, it will probably just be two weeks. If I can have it for a month, I would probably want to read it in the latter half of August. Yes, that's definitely a future book club option! I'm sure you could find a copy second hand if you have the chance, or from the library? No rush though, but for the future ^^
@@ellenmadebookclub OK, let us know. I have another buddy read planned for early August, so the second half of the month would also be best for me if that works out with your library loan :) Good point about the library for My Brilliant Friend - for some reason, I was dead set on reading it in English, but since it's translated from Italian, it doesn't make much of a difference if I read it in French!
