Spoiler: Yes. Everyman's Library editions are the best available, hands down. High quality. Extra commentary. Very attractive. The bookmark will fray. ;)

Well said about the surrogacy issue. This is a growing concern. You name this issue. And there are many gay men who would agree with your points.

As regards the surrogacy - it definitely raises ethical questions and I would feel the same reading that book. It's incredibly complex and deserves much thought and discussion - not to say its wrong - but as you say Carol shouldn't just be an incubator in the corner. I'm looking forward to more book reviews and seeing your videos is a great source of joy ❤

This made me laugh. Thank you.

I'm relieved I didn't buy this. I thought it was a cosy autumnal read not a Pumpkin McSpicy porno 😂

Thank you so much!

I love a good book rant 😂 this cover is DIABOLICAL!!!

I agree! If I am not expecting it it I would definitely be upset. I thought it was a romcom romance how weird

yea, the false advertising cover trend strikes again...

I wondered about this book, but I typically avoid mass market/media popular books. Glad I skipped it lol. It looks so cute, it makes you think that it'll be all cozy Fall scenes and such. What a bummer.

Thanks for such a great review! I’m lucky enough to be currently pregnant with my first. Did you read What to expect when you’re expecting too?

I have just finished this. I was position 30 in the queue when I ordered it at the library. Saw your review but was too stubborn to unreserve it 😂 Oh man! What a dull read. There was nothing going on at all. I wish there was more investigation in to was trying to sabotage her cafe to make it have some sort of plot. Or maybe Lucy could have come back to mess Logan up a bit? And man how many times did the main characters 'blush'. Easy read but blah

Just came across this. Love Yungblud.

😍 the books are sooooooooooo beautiful!

Your decorations are stunning!!!

I've read all 14 of Baum's Oz books, a couple of times. The first time I read the first book I was 13 or 14 and I immediately started reading the other books in the series. At that time I only read the first 6 books or so. I got stuck on the 7th one. I tater was able to read all 14. I maybe wouldn't read all of the books. The second and third books, The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz, are the best after the first (I might actually like the second more than the first, I really like the protagonist of that book). The sixth book, Emerald City of Oz, is really good too, as is the 13th book, The Lost Princess of Oz. Rinkatink in Oz is my least favorite of the series. It has nothing to do with Oz until the very end. I'm pretty sure he had written it as a non Oz book, but then decided to make it an Oz book at the end so it would sell better as his non-Oz books didn't sell as well.

The Muppet version and Little Fox versions have the most scenes from the book.

I haven't read The Wizard of Oz yet but also dying for your edition. The China ornament story is just so you! Hearing you talk about it brings back fond memories of reading Mary Poppins for the Tay bookclub - remember the cow 😂

I truly loved your vlogs, I’m so glad you returned, it’s lovely to spend time with you as the videos feel so cosy so it’s like hanging out with a friend! - Hopefully that doesn’t sound weird but it’s a lovely vibe they give off! X

I’ve never felt so bad for a t-shirt before, but it met perhaps the most cruel and utterly violent of ends! R.I.P. 😭

I saw this book everywhere and thought not. for. me.! Glad you have confirmed 😂🤗 Excellent review as always.

LOVED this video! Thank you!

Yes please do a review on this, I was going to give it a read because I’ve seen it everywhere but I think I’ll give it a miss. Also please do further reading vlogs 💖

Everyone and their cat is reading this book lol! I have seen several people say the spice was weird so I have stayed away from it. Mary Higgins Clark sounds like a great book to clean your mind of a bad book lol....loved hearing your thoughts!

Haha I saw this literally everywhere, but I’m so glad I kept thinking, “I have so much on my TBR, maybe next year. But now nope, others can read it haha.

Hannah, this book seems all over the place, people buying and reading as though its a drug-LOL! I've not read it but doesn't sound as though I've missed much. Oh go on, have a ranty review of it, I 💜your full on energetic thoughts and passion about things, its good to hear. Loved your Halloween decs and lights and your cosy reading space. You are right don't usually see so many horses together, unless its a sanctuary type place, I need to get out into nature, have been fighting a virus and cant shake it, trouble is not got much energy to do so. I really like your gold eyeshadow, suits you gal. xx

I would like a full ranting review of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe. I definitely enjoy your reading vlogs.😊. Congratulations on your baby!

I often fall into charity shops….. just so clumsy of me hehe😂

BOOK UPDATE: I've DNF'ed "Like Mother"...it's a big NO from me on that book!

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe has been plastered all over booktok for a good while. I'm usually not interested and I've never watched Gilmore Girls but I recently caved and bought the series. I found the first one to be ok but I absolutely loved The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore - all about Hazel finding clues left by someone in the books at her work. I couldn't believe the difference in the two books, if I hadn't have went straight onto the second one, I probably never would've done after TPSC.

“I accidentally fell into a charity shop!” 😂😂😂I love it!!!

Love it 🍁🍂🍄

I always enjoy watching your reading vlogs 😊

What a stunning edition! I'm jealous :D

If you still have the packaging it might say the specific colours and brand used to help you finish your project

I am IN LOVE with this video! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🎄🥰🎄🥰🎄🥰🎄 I’m dangerous around Christmas decorations and I think my husband is now despairing but… I’m going to B&M this weekend now I’ve seen your video 😂😂🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️

Great review.

I might of started putting up Christmas decorations already haha😂

Wow the Murder She Wrote goss 😮 Here I am giggling as well about Mummy and Daddy Elephant. When you said Im in a Tracy Chevalier novel 😂😂 I got the Lady and The Unicorn book signed online and then got two of the tapestry cushions for chairs in my kitchen 😂 youll be well fit for it, it looks great!

Grateful for this video and your honesty. Theres no limits to the bizarre fallouts when it comes to postpartum, what you're feeling makes perfect sense. Its commendable how well you describe it, which does go a long way in overcoming it.

I love it when you do these! Great story too! ❤

Beautifully read!

yes I like what you said, reviews are kind of static that's a good way of putting it. Are you going to be normal speaking voice or whisper reading?

Hi Hannah, I’ve just subscribed and am bingeing your videos - you’re so funny 😆 I think I’ve tried all the Iceland SW meals and tbh the only one I really like is the chicken tikka masala. The Asian salmon is absolutely delicious, almost restaurant quality but it’s £6 so I don’t buy it all the time. There are 2 fillets in there so I could have one cold with salad the next day, but I always eat both! I quite like the meatballs too but I find most of the range very lacklustre. Anyway, I’m excited to see how you get on - best of luck x

I swear inductions are the route of all evil and labour's don't tend to go to plan after forcing it

I'm not a woman and I'll never go through such a labour - but what I can hear from you during this video is that you've been through a deeply traumatic experiences, with a beautiful outcome, but traumatic never the less and your body and mind is reminded and living the memory of it - I wish you strength, hope and the comfort of others who have travelled that path x

I'm 9 years post c section and I am still numb on my scar line. Be kind to yourself. In time the anxieties will go or at least get easier. Talking through it with friends or random strangers at baby groups help. Just know that it's totally normal to have these feelings even after a year xx

Sending you love and hugs 😊 thank you for your honesty

It's amazing how visceral the sudden recollection of trauma can be, isn't it?

I'm so sorry you're going through this, Hannah. I was alone in my postpartum and was not aware it was normal. I suggest anyone and everyone seek help and support if they need it because the struggle is so real! This too shall pass and things will get better.
