Well done for the unhauls and yay for finding two you liked 🎉

Merhaba, i love your videos, thank you :) from UK and Pakistan 💗💗💗

I will be reading my Agatha for Alice book but that may have to be it I’m afraid 😊

Ahh! Perfect! I read my first Agatha Christie book last Halloween and I loved it. I reread Halloween Party again this year. I am so looking forward to reading more of her books. Very helpful video. The Murder At The Vicarage sounds good. So does Crooked House and Sparkling Cyanide. 😊

Of course I'm in! I certainly read Murder at the Vicarage and Thursday Night Widows by Claudia Piñeiro which will be three of prompts at least.

You made Midnight at the Pera Palace sound very inviting.

We have done it again with our videos 😂 I’m so glad you enjoyed your Agatha 🎉🎉

Love this idea!❤ One of my favorite authors is John Steinbeck, however, I really disliked his "Grapes of Wrath."

Yay well done 🎉🎉🎉 My unread Tbr is going down which is making me happy

Wonderful video Berna! I have a few Maeve Binchy books that I own but have yet to read (I've seen the film of Circle of Friends and loved it but I have yet to start her books) but the fact that she is amongst your favorite authors makes me more excited to start her books. Based on what I have heard and read on Goodreads, I think I must be in the minority here but I really enjoyed Postern of Fate much more than I expected to based on what I had heard, there are 3 other Agatha Christie that I sadly just didn't like which were the Sittaford Mystery/Murder at Hazelmoor, the Big Four (which strangely Goodreads says I rated 4 stars) and They Do It With Mirrors, but I should re-read all of the ones I didn't like to see if my opinion has changed.

I think my least favourite Stacy halls book is the foundling

I too dislike a book that is too heavy handed in pushing its politics or the authors philosophy.

This is a great idea for a video. It has got me thinking. I just read Halloween Party by Christie and it was very disappointing. Again it was a late one from 1969.

Well done!👍

Well done sweetie. You know my favourite book was cemetery boys 😊

Sounds like a good month. Nice that you fitted some Victober in alongside the reading around the world etc

Yayy count me in! I can never read too much Agatha Christie. 😊

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Alice finally managed to convince me to read some Christie this year, and she would be pushing me to read more, so I will definitely be picking one of her books up for this 🧡

I will definitely read my Agatha and May try another prompt 🎉🎉🎉

I’m excited to participate 😊

Of course I'm joining!! I love this one and I'm so looking forward to it!! Thanks for hosting this one again.

Yay, I always look forward to this! 📚💖

When I first saw the question of Booktube being competitive, my immediate thought went to how much people can read being the comparative thing! But I can totally see this in terms of subscribers/views/comment, all because that is so visible. I used to compare a lot more, especially with things like Readathon TBRS when I would watch everyones and again.. it was very clear by the numbers who was getting more views. But now, I don't really think about it (maybe because I'm less involved in community events!). These days, I am more interested in having good conversations and sharing information via the videos I do. And in terms of my Booktube friends, I am thrilled to cheer on their successes. Great video, as always Berna!

I don't feel any need to compete for views or subscribers - there isn't a finite number after all. Maybe for bigger monetised channels it's different?

Great to hear your thoughts on this! 💛

I always want to improve myself and my numbers but not against others

I loved reading with you as well! 💛

I also loved lady Windermeres fan 😊 Ordeal for innocence is such a good book

I look forward to your reviews 😊

I LOVE this book!

Yay for any Agatha so I look forward to hearing what you think of it 😊

I have also read Roger Ackroyd, but I love it so much I think I'll happily read it again if I have time! I haven't read Towards Zero yet

You watched the Sir Pat Stew version?!?! Isn't he good??? But yeah, Richard Armitage was imprinted on my brain first. <3

I will try to look for the 2004 version. Love north and south

I smiled when you said you thought you must have an incomplete version of the Holmes story, that really myst be a bad ending Berna! 😉 I really enjoy Tokarczuk and love Drive Your Plow but I’m currently reading her new one Empusium and not very impressed. 😬

I’m with Jack that my favourite Sherlock Holmes short story is a study in Scarlett but I think I’m not great with short stories

I read A Study in Scarlet for the first time this Victober. The only Arthur Conan Doyle I’d read previously had been The Hound of the Baskervilles. I enjoyed most of A Study in Scarlet but the motive behind the crimes was probably the least enjoyable part of it for me. I am looking forward to reading more though.

Thanks for tagging me!! And I’m a new subscriber ❤❤

Great job with this tag!

I love The Yellow Wallpaper. It is one of my favorite stories. I recently bought The Woman in Black and look forward to reading it soon. The Haunting of Hill House and The Shining are so great as well.

Love this sweetie 😊 You are so good with your audiobooks

Thanks for tagging me, I've already done this tag. You have some great answers. I recently read a new Turkish writer to me - Oktay Volkan Alkaya, he had a historical fiction set around 1402 (Apocalypse of the Realm: 1 The Wrath of the Elephant) with the Ottoman Sultan confronting Tamerlane at the Battle of Ankara, it was an interesting read with a wide and cosmopolitan array of characters, but it ended with the Seige of Smyrna and was clearly the first book in a series and so many plot threads were not neatly finished. .

Ha! I thought you were going to include Thistlefoot, since it is about a house with chicken legs, which I spied in your thumbnail! Although it's hard to categorize between thriller/horror... but really good. ;D

Very spooky books 😮

My Tbr didn’t go down by much last month and might not at all this month but that’s due to my book buying going Abit crazy lol I

I need to read _The Picture of Dorian Gray_ . Great answers to the tag, I need to go to the museum of _sanat_ (art) in my area - it's been years since I've been there :)

Love this and yay for the moonstone 🎉🎉

What an interesting way to discuss the value of older books, I love your take on this and how you put this together. Sometimes I find it hard to read older books because it can show casual intolerance/isms or language that we just wouldn't use today. I find this hardest in modern classics or 'important' works, but it's good to remember that I'm seeing it from today's perspective, not the time in which it's written. It's good to have a reminder that there is value in seeing a window into the time, even if not all of what's shown is good! Always love your videos, Berna!

I enjoyed The Birds, I've read and watched the movie.
