Congratulations on 20K, Shelly! Putting 1916 on my TBR. I love Dear Sugar. That's such a great book to pick up on tougher days. I've had An Unnecessary Woman on my shelf forever--moving it up in priority now!
So happy to hear you talk about Persuasion! It is my favorite Austen novel. TY for bringing 1916 to my attention. Since visiting Ireland last spring I want to read books on Ireland fiction and non.
Barker's book is one of the few books i absolutely treasure. I grew up learning the autumnal poems in Dutch (my mother tongue) and fell in love with the English collected book when I got it as a gift when I was 14. The art is lovely, inspiring and timeless.
Je suis bien d'accord avec ta perception de Persuasion de Jane Austen. C'est mon préféré aussi et j'ai lu tous les livres d'Austen. Je vais me procurer le Rabih Alameddine. Je vais lire «Middlemarch» cette année. J'ai hâte. Je l'ai déjà dans ma bibliothèque. Bon courage avec l'aquarelle! J'en fait depuis des années!
I'm going to listen to "1916" this year. I'm glad it has your stamp of approval. I love Greco-Roman literature and plays. I think next time I reread an Austen book it'll be "Persuasion". Congrats on 20k!
Middle March is on my list too for this year, but I’ve also recently become a James Michener fan and I’ve got a very long list of his books that I want to get through this year😮also

I think Persuasion is my second-favorite Austen novel. And 1916 is an excellent book! Definitely worth the read.
Congrats on 20K! I have had an ebook of An Unnecessary Woman for years, and I feel like I need to pick it up and see if I love it like you do.
You should definitely give it a try! I'd love to know what you think!

I’m FINALLY reading Unnecessary Woman this month!!
Are you! You must let me know what you think!
@ Katja and I begin on Saturday!
The Count was my chunky book goal for 2024. Middlemarch is definitely on the list. Not sure when though! 😊🤔
Middlemarch is worth it, read it asap! Ironically The Count was my book huge book of last year too, instantly one of my all time faves
@ Good to know! Thank you! 😊
Middle March is on my list too for this year, but I’ve also recently become a James Michener fan and I’ve got a very long list of his books that I want to get through this year😮also
I’m so curious as to know what you make of Middlemarch!!!!
@@Shellyish I have heard so many good things about it, I may have to bump it up ahead of all my Michener books!!
Longtime channel followers will note a glaring omission from Shelly's favourites. 😂
Wolf Hall? 🤔
The Iliad?? 😌
The Other Boleyn Girl? 🙃
My Brilliant Friend? 🤗
@Shellyish Wolf Hall. You've mentioned that book like a gazillion times over the years. 😃
I bought An Unnecessary Woman today! So pleased that you loved it
I love it! And hope you enjoy it!
@Shellyish Thank you 😊
This was so interesting ❤
Thank you!!
I love skillshare, but I also love Let's Make Art if you're interested in learning watercolor.
I will have to check that out! THANK YOU!
Congrats on 20K and a sponsorship, how fun to see this come to fruition on your channel! ❤ The fairy book seems so lovely. ✨
Thanks! I'm so happy to share this journey with you all!
Nice sweater

Did you stop one piece
I'm on a pause right now.
