Hannah, I too really love the National Portrait Gallery. Yes, vlogs, yes!!
Perhaps we can meet at the Portrait Gallery sometime!
We love our Norton Critical Editions! Cheers, Hannah!
🤓
I’m glad you’ll be meeting with other BookTubers - that means this trip will be documented. It just needs to happen then.
I just joked with another commenter that I think I should apply for a grant and try to write an article--but perhaps it should be a documentary instead!
Bath is the best city (village) in the world! I think Keats also lived their briefly… or was it Shelley? One of those poor Romantics. Mary Shelley certainly. And Coleridge had a spiritual awakening in the bedroom of one of its inns! The Abbey was the site of the first coronation in Britain! There was hardly a Victorian big wig who didn’t frequent her fashionable streets some time or other…
Sounds like a place I should visit! Meet you there?
Many thanks for the Q&As!
9:25 If you ever stop by in Oxford you definitely should go to Blackwells main bookstore.
It looks like nothing from the outside but when you browsed a few topics and discovered that a few hours flew by and you hardly scratched the surface, you will be delighted about this unique gem.
The shop is quite scientific. I think it is the best curated store here in the UK.
In London there are a few big book stores (Foyles, Waterstones near Piccadilly, and Goodge Street) as well but none is better than Blackwells in Oxford.
That sounds fantastic! I’ll definitely put the Oxford Blackwells on my dream-trip list. Thanks.
If you make that literary tour you know you'll have a warm welcome from me. I could try to tempt you to Brighton which has many literary connections but I think I would be most keen to get you to Jane Austen's home in Chawton.
Oh--Chawton! Excellent addition. And of course, you will be a major highlight!
I enjoyed hearing about your mind’s eye tour of England. There’s also Daphne DuMaurier’s beloved Cornwall.
(You could save that for a second trip 😉)
Ooh, yes! How could I forget?
I think we'd all love to join you on the wonderful Europe tour! A book lovers dream vacation!
I'm afraid it is really still just a dream, but I totally want to get us all together and over there sometime!
@@HannahsBooks It'd be great to meet fellow book lovers in person. I've gone to one Booktube meetup in 2019 when the first year of the Booktube Prize winner was announced live and in person. It was so much fun!
@lindseyreads5450 In Durham or Raleigh, right? I was not yet enough of a booktuber to consider going, but I loved hearing people talk about it.
@@HannahsBooks It was in Durham. We went to every bookstore they had including Chapel Hill and Raleigh. Everyone was very nice and welcoming.
You'd love Dorchester and Thomas Hardy's house, Hannah. Hardy fights Tolstoy in my mind for number one author depending on who I last read, but Hardy is always unalloyed joy to read. Dorchester is not far from my home in Devon so I have visited quite often.
I hope you will join me for this leg of the tour!
I like the idea of spending time "hanging out" with you on a regular day. I also like your literary travels in the UK idea very much. I've been to a few literary places when I spent time on assignment in London. There were some bucket list things and touristy things I did too. Since I was a child I wanted to straddle the Prime Meridian. I did that and have pictures to prove it. The idea of taking time to travel and visit literary homes appeals. I'm making my mental list. Years ago I remember seeing a book dedicated to UK writers sights.
The first author's home I visited in the US was a school trip to Washington Irving's home, Sunnyside. I grew up in the Hudson River Valley - so his stories became an annual read. I've seen some others over the years. When I lived and worked in New Orleans I took several different themed walks & tours of writers homes.
How cool too straddle the Prime Meridian! I've never visited Sunnyside, but it is a little easier for me to get to. And I love how literary New Orleans is! Thanks for your comment.
I would be beyond delighted if you would be able to join our group read of Elizabeth Bowen, Hannah! 🤞🏻
I signed up immediately after I filmed this video and a few minutes before I posted it! I am so excited, although also quite seriously booked up now...
That camp class sounds like a wonderful experience. I wish I could go back and be your student.
You would have fit right in!
This was lovely, Hannah! Thank you for another thoughtful installment. I so appreciate that you added this last part, and congratulations again on reaching this milestone subscriber count!
Thank you so much, Pat, for eveything. These questions were all just fantastic!
Wonderful itinerary.
I think we should all go together!
The UK literary tour sounds amazing also tremendously ambitious. It could fill a summer
Maybe I should apply for a grant and try to turn it into an essay...?
@@HannahsBooks or a book
@@heathereads Or a documentary!
@@HannahsBooks LOL are we in Wildest Dreams territory yet?
@@heathereads Absolutely!
What a wonderful series this is! Such great questions and answers❣️ Thank you for your fabulous ideas for a literary tour of England. Haworth is incredible, you will love it so much! Roz recently recommended a book by Karen Powell “Fifteen Wild Decembers”, narrated in first person by Emily Brontë!! I’m about half way through and loving it. I look forward to another series when you tell us about your Literary Vacation in the UK. Until then, thank you for ALL your videos Hannah, so much!
I ordered that book right after I saw Ros’s video-and have been saving it for Victober. (Will I be able to hold out?!)
@@HannahsBooks I will be in London the end of May but I couldn’t wait that long…..it is a perfect book for Victober though❣️
@@jodihowe7274 I’m so envious!
@@HannahsBooks you have friends in England, eager to welcome you♥️I am envious 😉
I am signing up right now for the literature trip to England. !!!!
Oh yes! How about all of us nerdy booktubers and viewers head over together at the same time?!
Sounds good, I am in No. California. We can start our list of books as we speak (should be done by the time we leave). Should we add at least ONE Agatha Christie? Perhaps stay at the Burton Hotel and have afternoon tea ?
@@user-tw1qr6ni4w Absolutely! Great idea.
For Jane Austen, I'd recommend Winchester, lovely walks by the river, visit the bookshop which is on the same street where she lived, probably the oldest bookshop in Britain, it's still there, the same site since 1700s. She's buried in the cathedral and her house Chawton (Hampshire) is an interesting visit. Of course if you watch costume dramas and are in Suffolk, there's Lavenham. It would depend on where you're headed.
Ooh, thank you! I'm taking notes, and will contact you again when this plan actually comes closer to reality!
I would love to see vlogs on your channel!
Your vlogs are such a great model: very real (as opposed to overly performative), and beautifully bookish!
@@HannahsBooks Thank you! That is very kind of you to say. ❤️
This is such a lovely channel. Have you read “I Capture the Castle”?
Thank you so much, S! Yes, I loved I Capture the Castle when I first read it years ago--and then again fairly recently and still loved it. Are you a fan too?
I enjoyed Bath, but I went before I knew anything about Jane Austen's connection to the city. No comment on the Hardy content here.😀
Dorset's lovely, don't let Hardy put you off! There's alway TE Lawrence, from there and the Hardy monument, isn't celebrating him.
Ha! I suspect you might enjoy the beautiful countryside of Dorset as long as no one mentioned a certain someone's name...
@@clarepotter7584 I am thinking all of American booktubers need to go en masse and have you as our tour guide!
@@HannahsBooks Well I'm in Leicestershire, so not too far from Stratford, off to see my first cousin once removed next month as Moth in 'Love's Labour's Lost' his first job for the RSC, I can't wait!
@@clarepotter7584 Oh wonderful! How exciting!
Yes, vlogs please! 😊
I'm quite surprised by how many of my regular viewers are supporting the vlog idea. If you have time, would you tell me what makes you enjoy blogs and what you might like to see? I'm a total newbie to that kind of thing.
Truth? I’m nosey! 😂 Actually, I enjoy seeing ‘A day in the life…’ experiences. It can be as simple as watching someone read in their garden or park, or visiting a favorite bookstore, and sharing what they’re reading. It’s fun to see what people choose to share and what music they pick to accompany the vlog. I enjoy the vlogs of Heidi from My Reading Life and Miranda Mills’s channel.
@@michaelmccarty thanks!
I was undone continuing in higher level Art History education by language requirements as well, even though I wanted to focus on American Art History. Today there are many more options and support in learning foreign languages, unfortunately much to late for me.
I think I might be braver about languages now--especially if I could go back a few more years and make sure I had a better foundation as a youngster...
Yes please to vlogs! :)
I need to watch more vlogs before I can actually figure out how to do them! Could you share with me what you enjoy about them?
@@HannahsBooks I enjoy vlogs because I feel like I get to experience a little of what life is like for other people and I get to see parts of the world that I might not otherwise. I especially like chatty slice of life vlogs, reading/crafting vlogs and travel vlogs
Some of the booktuber vlogs i enjoy -
Doris @ All D Books and Heidi @ My Reading life often do Mid Month Book Bash vlogs
Natalie @ Natalie Meree
Sian and Bert @ PaSTORY Time
Karen @ Roving Reader
Lindy @ Lindy’s Magpie Reads doesn't usually do full vlogs but occasionally has a clip of her crafting or visiting somewhere at the end of her recent reads videos
Shawn @ Shawn the Book Maniac occasionally does vlogs but hasn't for a while.
Cathie @ The Grimm Reader
Tanya @ My Bookish Life
Simon @ Savidge Reads
This is wonderful! I watch many of these channels and love them, too. Thank you!
