Thank you Shelley, glad it comes through!

That's sounds good Suey, one needs to feel inspired for sure with booktags!

Grazie a te per essere passata di qua 😉 Sono curiosa di sapere che ne pensi di Io Monna Lisa se lo leggerai 😘

Ciao Azzurra, penso sia un ottimo approccio a Dickens, quello di alterare altre letture. Il suo stile è meraviglio so ma anche impegnativo. La Tuti non è ancora 'sbarcata' in biblitoeca, ma probabilmente il suo libro lo acquisterò 😉

Thank you Mirella ❤ wishing you a great weekend

@@Uncommon_Reader the same to you dear Daniela ❤

Thank you Reney! I remember going with the school to visit the glass makers decades ago.. my hometown is quite close to Venice. I find it mesmerising the way they make things out of a fire ball.. I can see why Donna loves it. Perhaps you can do a vlog next time you visit the 'glass house' near you! 😉

@@Uncommon_Reader yes, i would love to!

Thank you Margaret! You can't go wrong with Dickens 😉 Looking forward to discover your picks!

Emily dear, mil obrigado! So lovely to connect with you. I see you are acquainted with my Italian bunch over at book tube italia, small world. I also have a channel in Italian which is older than this one... Looking forward to explore your channel.. 💕

Grazie Stefania 💕

It's great!! so unique!

Thanks Nicole, let me know what you choose to read, when you're ready...

Grazie Azzurra! Prima o poi... 😅 Che gioiellino!! Buona domenica! 🌻

Ciao Stefania! Grazie! Quando si parla di avventura è sempre festa 😉😘

Grazie Azzurra, glad you enjoyed it 😉💕

You're welcome Margaret! Yes, short and sweet!

Thank you Reney! Love them all.. ready for some action now 😉 We should create a Tag together 😁

@@Uncommon_Reader yes! That would be fun!

Well said Reney, health is a priority. I also will push myself tomorrow to go for a morning walk, thanks for inspiring me! Both our weather seems to be synched, as FINALLY temperatures have cooled down here in Northern Italy too. But plan to film the tag tomorrow early afternoon still 😉 It would be definitely a great project to work on, a free library or bookcrossing of sorts. I am sure you'd be successful with it. Take care and happy reading too!

Hello Marian, thank you so much for your suggestions on Hemingway. I think I'd enjoy his book about his life in Paris as he was also frequenter of the first Shakespeare and Co. bookstore and its crowd. I do love to hear non-human voices narrating books. I recently enjoyed Elif Shafak 'The island of Missing Trees' and its fig tree who was quite funny and charming 😉 so I may like Bulgakov's book. We shall see!

I quite believe you will like "A Movable Feast" as you love Paris. When I was in Paris many years ago, I made a special tour of places connected with Hemingway. I even wrote a blog about it. Yeah, the fig tree´s narration of events was really sweet, I enjoyed it very much. Those chapters are written in especially nice language, adding them a special charm. I have finished reading "The Bastard of Istanbul" this week (I liked it) and now I´m reading Ilaria Tuti´s "Daughter of Ashes".

@@marianpochyly My beloved Ilaria Tuti.. Longanesi is releasing a new book on October 1st, not related to her Teresa Battaglia series, but a historic novel (which she is so great with) Do you have a link for your blog on Hemingway's Paris places?

Yes, I have it, but I prefer sending it to you through Instagram because KZbin sometimes refuses to accept links.

@@marianpochyly Got it, thank you!

Buon compleanno Azzurra!! 🎉🥂🎂Un bellissimo regalo! Buona lettura! Io domani sono al Pordenone Legge.. spero di filmare qualcosa di interessante per Gocce di Libri 💕

Hi Shelley! I'm going to a literary festival on Saturday and I hope to get to hear this author in person as she's one of the many guests of this big event in my region... 🤞

Oh thank you Shelley! So happy to hear! 💕

It's not been released in many countries yet! I'd keep an eye on imdb.com for a release date globally, good luck!

💕🍁📚

Hi Marian, well said! I agree with you, both insightful and adventurous! Thanks for stopping by!

@@Uncommon_Reader By the way, today is the 60th birthday of Pavol Rankov, one of the most prominent Slovak writers. Last Thursday I attended a very interesting meeting with him in our municipal library at Trnava and I found out that his book "Accadde il primo di settembre (o un altro giorno" had been translated into Italian in 2017. Maybe you find it somewhere. On the Italian page of Amazon you can find what the story is about.

@@marianpochyly Thank you, I looked on my library online catalog but they don't have it nor any of his books. I'll keep an eye out as this week I plan to visit a big free library in a nearby city 🤞

Ciao Azzurra! Ottimo, letture brevi ma molto emozionanti 💕

Thank YOU so much for watching! Glad you found my video helpful and it inspired you to read the book now.. much appreciated!

I will definitely read Limonov's biography. Carrère loves the attention as much as Eddie, that's my guess 🤭

@@Uncommon_Reader You misunderstood me. Read Limonov's books, not Carrère's. Limonov spent his whole life writing his own biography independently, book by book! That was his literary method: literature based on personal biography. Carrère, however, compiled his book from several of Limonov's novels. Carrère is derivative in this whole story.

@@alexeyevseev2694 that's what I meant, sorry. I should have written autobiography. I know Limonov himself wrote many books, and Carrère says in his book that he based what he wrote on Eduard's books.

@@alexeyevseev2694 I don't know if you had the patience to watch the whole video, but I do mention a couple of books from Limonov himself I want to read

I see! imdb.com states it was out May 2024, but I guess it just made that appearance during the Cannes Film Festival.

Hi Nicole, thanks for connecting! I just subscribed to your channel and will take a peak tonight! I found the author you mention available at my San Jose library so I will definitely check it out next time I am in California.. I see they are well rated and I am intrigued. Alas, no trace of him at my local library in Italy... Thank you!

@@Uncommon_Reader thank you! Yeah he’s a Canadian Indigenous author so I don’t know how well he’s known internationally but I’m glad he’s at the American library.

Thank you Jen, the tag is so original! Enjoyed doing it very much! Thank you for watching!

Shorty September, ah! I have never heard of this before.. I am such a newbie here 😅 Thank you for watching Margaret, glad I found someone who enjoys Banana!

@@Uncommon_Reader Oh, it' son of many readathons ;P but I meant I love the LOOK of all those similar books, I haven't read her yet! :D

@@MargaretPinard I can't keep up with all these readathons 😂

Non ti deluderà! Grazie Stefania 😘

So glad you got to enjoy Paris, Marilyn--I can definitely see you getting along with the city. <3

Hi Marilyn Maya, I am not a fan of Rome I'll confess.. just too hectic to move around... I prefer smaller treasures like Verona, and Florence has become one of my favorites lately as I got more and more in love with Renaissance Art... I live near Venice (kind of, it's about 90 min drive) on the Adriatic sea. Thank you for your Stephen King suggestion, I will definitely add that to my reading list. I am quite obsessed with Paris, sometimes I am brought to tears by its beauty and atmosphere, especially in Montmartre.. I get so emotional like I have lived there in a past life 😅 It must have been a very happy one 😉 Thanks for watching!

@@Uncommon_Reader I missed going to Rome in the 80s because I had four children with me. Now I can’t go because I have arthritis and use a cane. Rome would be too difficult with all those seven hills andcobbled streets. I I heard that Siena is a nice city and flatter. I’ve been to Florence and remember spending the whole day in the Ufizzi Museum, it was marvelous how they went from the earliest periods to the latter. Most of all I love Italian people and Italian food is my favorite. my daughter laughs at me because I eat pasta every day. Not so unusual in Italy? There are very good Italian restaurants. In Paris as well. I’ve been to Paris four times and keep going back. But I confess, I haven’t spent much time in Montmartre as other parts of Paris. Maybe next time. As you can guess I loved traveling. My father was born in Puerto Rico so that was my first trip and then I lived in Spain and danced Latin American dances. When I was 50, I went to Japan and taught English. And I taught in Hawaii as well. I’ve been here for 40 years . when I was younger, I read mostly nonfiction. I wanted to learn things and learn how to travel without much money. There wasn’t the Internet then. But I also discovered Jane Austen and other classics. Since I’ve been on book tube, I’ve expanded my reading, but I have always been a voracious reader like my mother before me. Sorry for the long comment I make longer comments on other peoples channels than my own videos sometimes.😀. nice to meet you. Maybe one day our paths will meet across two oceans. Ciao and aloha.

@@MarilynMayaMendoza I love long comments 🥰 So here's mine: Siena is quite beautiful, like many other small towns around Tuscany. The hills are also most spectacular. I also love the Amalfi coast a lot, quite far from me, but have fond memories of the coastal scenes of Positano and Ravello. I personally lived in California for 15 years, and have been in Hawaii during that time, only once though, in Kawaii, so beautiful and peaceful. No, not so unusual to eat pasta everyday in Italy, mostly man with physically demanding jobs would expect that type of meal on the table every day (and a second serving or a second dish afterwards 😉) In my house, we have it twice a week, and usually prefer the whole wheat or even gluten free types, and I find pasta made with red lentil flour quite delicious (with lots of healthy fibers and proteins!). I always read in my life but it was during the recent pandemic that I got addicted to books, it was my escape during the forced shut down. Luckily, it was an addiction that didn't worn out 😉 Well, wouldn't it be so cool and adventurous to meet each other in Paris? Fingers crossed, I may be stopping by the Ville Lumiere on my way to California later in October... Ciao, Aloha and Au Revoir 😉

Hello Marilyn Maya! Thank you so much for subscribing... I have been following your channel for a few weeks (it was Reney of Beyond Books that tagged me here and that's how I discovered you) and I found your tag so so inspiring! Amazing you know of Oriana Fallaci. Her books are great if you have a chance to find any... Ciao and Aloha to you! 🌻

Thank you for watching. Anne's writing has touched many hearts, as did many other survivors' stories. Nice to connect with you!

Thank you Flo. Having visited the Anne Frank's house definitely enhanced my reading experience... Re-reading this book as an adult made me grasp even more her level of matureness. Thank you for watching!

🙏🏻💕

Thank you Reney! There were so many to choose from! As well I am looking forward to more buddy reads together!! 💕

😂Right? Besides, I am always kind of nervous around doctors 😅

Ciao Azzurra, bene! E spero ti piaccia 😊 Buon fine settimana a te 🌻

Grazie Alessia, leggeremo insieme Oriana, non vedo l'ora. E aspetto il tuo video, sono sicura sarà bellissimo! 😘

@@Uncommon_Reader 🥰🥰

Ciao Stefania! Grazie.. il sentimento è reciproco 💕 A presto!

Thank you Sarah! I so look forward to look at your video!

Ciao Azzurra! Oriana è una forza! Non mi pare di aver letto quel libro, per ora recupero quelli che ho a casa. Il prossimo video qui sarà venerdì e sabato su Gocce di Libri come di consueto nel periodo estivo (a parte qualche eccezione 😉) Un abbraccio a te 🙏🏻💕

Ciao Mirella! Thank you for watching.. So easy to love these two... 💕

I have to thank YOU Reney, for tagging me, really enjoyed the topic, in fact I am most inspired by women's stories, especially in areas where their human rights are denied. Looking forward to see what you come up with with your project wrap-up at the end of the year. 💕

Ciao Azzurra.. oh che meraviglia Il segreto della Speziale.. amatissimo! Mi fa piacere se posso evitarti qualche perdita di tempo.. anche se ovviamente ogni opinione è personale e relativa 😉 Buone letture!

Ci conto Stefania, grazie a te 💕

Ciao Stefania, mi sembra doveroso spiegarlo specie quando si apprezza lo stile narrativo 😉

I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again for the tag 💕
