There are a couple of this list that I have but haven’t gotten round to yet - some others I will need to add 🤭 I love seeing your subscriber numbers increase - it’s great. I love watching your videos

Thanks Victoria. I've gotten some really good reads lately. You've reminded me, though, that I need to add a WWII fiction book to my tbr this month. It's been a while!

Well done! I'm very glad your channel is growing. Some interesting books - I must read The Stepford Wives (I loved Rosemary's Baby - book & movie). I didn't know about the Duran Duran connection with Sri Lanka, but some of my favourite tea originates there, and they have a pretty decent national cricket team. I also didn't know Salinger was a WWII veteran.... Love the Blondie t-shirt!

The Stepford Wives was a quick, easy read. I watched the original movie as I was reading it. There's a great article on Military.com somewhere about how Salinger's service influenced his works. As always, thanks!
