Loved how you talked about Alphabetic Diaries fitting into your life at that particular in-between time. I'm keen to read it when I can get hold of it. Disobedient bodies also sounds wonderful!

Though I've seen both Butter and Blue Sisters around I haven't been sold on either before now. Looking forward to hearing what you make of them! Hope your holiday has been lovely and filled with reading :)

I'll look forward to updating on Blue Sisters at some point soon! I did start on Butter but then had to take a break from it xx

Sooooo lovely to have you back Sophie. I’ve been meaning to watch this since your return as was overjoyed to see you upload. Huge congrats on the little one! Great selection of books on the TBR.

Thanks Simon!! How have you been? Xxx

Thank you for the video. Maybe someday I’ll tackle this one. I’m still working on the Proust masterpiece. Both in English and the original French. Just as you summarized, I try to find that balance between reward and challenge.

Late to the party, but congratulations on a wonderful long break and a wonderful baby boy! This is such a lovely surprise... I never thought you'd ever return as life was taking you in new directions. I missed your videos. Your TBRs and reviews are always so insightful and the videos about other things never failed to bring me joy. I was just about to start The Wager but The Garden Against Time, Butter, All That She Carried and Blue Sisters all sound very intriguing to me as well. Curious to see what your thoughts will be of this bunch. Welcome back! ♥

Thank you! And not late to the party at all. I've wound my way to a few of these but also found some new ones to dive into too

Yes! I first read it in 2008 then instantly reread it and then read it every year for 12 years straight. I still am mystified by the book!

A book a day and one extra….. I love that plan. I have to rely on kindle and audio, if I go away. That means I don’t lose text copies…,,but if I lost my phone! The weather here in Ireland has been awful. We’ve had one day of sunshine on Monday and it was 20 degrees. Every other day is overcast, raining and often cold. Hope weather for you is better. Happy Holiday 😍

@makemealemonАй бұрын
So happy to have you back on KZbin! I similarly loved the language in Martyr! but felt the twist was unnecessary and not very believable. Regardless it’s still one of my favourites of this year :)
