Who knew there was so much related to this topic. Must have taken a long time getting this all together. Hope you are enjoying your vacation.

This suggestion is probably too late, but Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea would be a good book for the underwater prompt.

Such a fun idea! Loved seeing all of this. I visited Bath in 2016. You’ll love it!

I'm not sure I've read any of the books you mentioned that she read. Might need to do that. Some are ones I'm very interested in.

Love Ivanhoe!

Just read Lady Susan and... Was so disappointed. 😢

Agreed on your top two! 😊😊

Creating up on 600 subscribers Anne. What I like about Jane Austen is her sentences when she is making a joke. The sentence starts of straight and then flips half through with the punch often landing on the last word, boom. She is the master of it. Best wishes.

I love that mug! Enjoy your vacation oh and I enjoyed Fahrenheit 451... Hope you like it.

Loved this!! I unhealed Paradise Lost a while ago because I was just too intimidated to read it... You're really making me want to pick it up!!

Your deck is beautiful!

Oh no, The Letter Tree is on my TBR!! I'm nervous now!!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful vacation ☕📚 I like your hair 😅 and your deck🇺🇸🌸🇺🇸!!

I like hearing about your progress this year as I've only recently gotten involved in the book tube world 😅. Your comment about "truly wanting to read the book" is making me think... I don't read quickly or very much so I should be extra choosy😅. I like your journal 📓📑!!

Love your deck!

I totally forgot to include The Letter Tree in my Disappointments in my checkin video. I guess it just didn't come to mind because I was only thinking of bad books lol

Love the mug!

I had to buy Amanda Dykes' newest book when I was in Michigan last month. I got to hear her talking about the book and I knew I couldn't pass it up.

Wow, Les Miserables - good luck with that one - it's a chunker of a book. I read Paradise Lost a couple years back with Michael Romeo Talks Books and MJ at Reading This Life, I think that was my first buddy read here on Booktube. Happy post 4th of July and enjoy your vacation :)

So happy you're joining us this month for the Beaches and Books readathon! And yay For a Lifetime!

I need to read The Hounds of Baskerville! Love your deck!

Awesome pile of possibilities! curious to hear your thoughts on A Most Agreeable Murder.

❤🎉

Lovely flowers in the background, Anne. Yes, reading with intention. I've been trying to implement this for myself the last several years. I've made progress, but I still have a ways to go. Hope your holiday is happy and blessed!

Hope you have a great time on vacation!

I hope you had a happy 4th of July too! Wow...Les Misérables. Thats one I need to tackle. Have a lovely vacation! 🍓 Love the earrings!

Another vote for getting to Scarlet Pimpernel!

Your deck looks so nice!

You’re doing great on your board! You’re really close to a diagonal bingo too!

Oh yes, another Mimi Matthews lover! I don't understand why I don't run into more of those on booktube, I think she writes such good love stories ❣

But oh no! GOdmersham Park is on my long list, on the shelf... 😝do i want to find your why dnf video or stay in ignorance and hope for bliss? Hmmm :P

Ooh, yay! I just got the Sophie Irwin and have that on my short list TBR... glad to hear it was a good one!

Fun book tracker in a bujo (or planner, whatever you personally call yours) 😊

No... You are looking at this all wrong. Look at that space you created for (new book purchases).

I’m so glad you joined in! ❤❤ 3 books is excellent!

Cute earrings! Happy 4th 🇺🇸

Yay! An empty shelf - time to refill it!

I've read so much more than I thought I would, which is both a good and bad thing 😅

🎉🎉🎉

Whoop whoop cleared shelf!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

I don't think Cormac McCarthy will be for you.... he's really dark. 😅 I've read all of his works.

My goal was to slow down and read more classics and I definitely feel like I’m meeting that goal. And I feel like it’s changing the kind of reader I am. I’m tasting good literature and so I’m finding myself dnf’ing a lot of modern reads because it’s lacking the depth. It’s very interesting, but I like it! ☺️

I loved the location of this video! Just perfect for summer. 💕

Great update and I love the deck location! Just a heads up... I see a dead tree in the back ground. 🤣

It was great to hear your update. I have really been enjoying my reading this year. I can relate to what you said at the end about reading what you want to be reading. I made a list of 40 books I want to read before I turn 40 next year. It’s mainly to encourage me to get to books that I have been putting off because I tend to grab whatever sounds good at the time but don’t make as much progress on the books I really want to read. Happy summer reading!

I tend to be a quick reader, so one of my goals this year is to savor my reading. I choose my favorite(s) of the month and then scrapbook in my reading journal. This has given me more time to linger on the story and enjoy it again. Also, I did not set a numeric goal this year and I am loving that. My favorites so far this year have mostly been classics with the exception of Born of Gilded Mountains.

You need to read Scarlet Pimpernel!!!

Mansfield! 🥰🥰🥰
