Yay for Shorty September! I am one of the people that loves A Month in the Country!

And happy birthday month!!!

I hope you have a wonderful Shorty September! What a good reason to deviate from your long books!

Go, Cathy, go! 😀🎉

Room with a View is really, really good, snd A Month in the Country is as sublime as everyone says (I was also nervous going on given the hype). I woll sdmit, I did struggle with the Tey novel because of my knowledge of British history or rather lack thereof! I hope you enjoy it more!

What a fun video!

Such a nice concept, enjoyed listening.

I like how you mix it up with different styles/formats depending on what’s going on in your life. Beautiful stickers.

Welcome back! Glad you had a fun trip!

Great TBR - shame you're not going to wear leopard print shorts!! 😂 I love Room with a View! And julian sands!! ❤❤ Siân

I don't think I've heard of sny of these! It seems like a great list, though. ❤ And I hope you have a good birthday month!

love shorty september. I also don't like to wear shorts either.

Minds that work hard need trash, sometimes! But only a little

Marilynne Robinson is so incredibly intelligent.

Welcome back! It’s nice to see you and hear about your reading. 🥰

Welcome back from vacation. 🎉

I love your fox!

How are you doing mrs Cathie . I didn’t send comments to you from long time. Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American KZbin channels. I have great news I want to share with you and all channels Iam subscriber to. Iam going to be English teacher in academy improving plan for weak students. I passed written exam just, few errors, but remains of me oral interview to be officially employed. This achievement due to your efforts you encouraged me to read and learn. I gathered main theme of book you mentioned and author biography briefly here it’s Alan Moore is British author known for his work in comic books such as watchmen , v for vendetta. He considered as one of best comic writers in English language. He also novelist , short story writer, musician, cartoonist , magician, occults . Jerusalem plot summary it’s exploration of both present and past( not mentioned possible future ) of his home town Northampton, England. Moore posts and afterlife where dimensions are different, dead can travel through time . Just as we can travel from physical place to another. Thank you for your wonderful cultural literary channel. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

Thank you Cathie for posting this review. Jerusalem sounds fascinating. Sounds like you are having a really wonderful reading experience. I found the Vance audiobook on Spotify and am looking forward to giving it a try soon.

Hi Cathy, I love your chatty video and relate to it. My chronic pain has increased exponentially this past year and I also count my steps. Sometimes I can’t move at all, but I try to climb stairs and I go to a physical therapist weekly, when I can’t walk. My birthday is later this month when I will turn 74 so it is normal I guess to lose some of your vigor I am sometimes afraid of big books and I’m trying to get over my hesitation. For me, I think it’s A self esteem issue. Even though I was an ESL teacher, I went to college in my late 30s and although I did well, tackling a big textbook rattled me sometimes. I am doing an event this month, where I feature Maya, Angelou and other phenomenal women authors. I’m sure one of your books will fit my one prompt😊 I have a best friend like the one you describe where we can not see each other for a while and just pick up where we left off. Isn’t it wonderful to have friends like that? Sorry for the long comment. Just being me. Aloha friend and happy reading.

Thank you so much for this incredible review!! The topics the book delves into are of great interest to me, but I've been really intimidated by it. I assumed that the large number of ideas and thought exercises presented would be difficult to wade through, but your review makes me feel like it's totally accessible if you take your time with it. You've also given me some points to focus in on, as well. Awesome review!! 💜

He lives round the corner from me and was in the Green party (a political party in the UK) with my dad in the 80s. A coincidence I came across this video and you only posted today! Yet to read the book but The Watchmen is one of the greatest graphic novels of all...

"my heart beats left" I love that!

Glad you had such fun with your friend.

weil's essay on the iliad is definitely something you would like (i think)

I'd love to see a whole video about Jerusalem, if you have the time and feel up to making it. It seems like a fascinating book set.

Happy Travels!

Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing!

This was so much fun!!

Excellent introduction to Bernhard.

What album is that? Also, what do you do with bigger postcards?

Hope you have fun in California!

I love love Hacks! I hope you have a wonderful trip!

❤️❤️❤️

I think I would still be paranoid about the melted wax. I am also cautious with candles because of my cat. I very seldom burn them and only when I am in the room, then I put them out before leaving.

I didn't get my license until I was 20.... 1 month later got into an accident. That was 29 years ago. Haven't driven since lol. It's easier to manage than many imagine 😊

Before ever reading him I always thought about Zola as a kind of forbidding writer who dealt with antiquated themes, but after starting Germinal recently, I’ve quickly realized how wrong I was. I don’t know that I’ll ever read the whole cycle, but it’s an attractive idea.

Oh the garden is lovely! 🌸 the kittehs are enjoying it…naughty Lilly 😁 you’ll have to put some wire mesh around the bottom of shed. Enjoy your trip and take a clip for us! x

The flowers look lovely. I'm sure the kitties are thrilled with more birds stopping by your hard. 😂

Your flower garden is so beautiful. ❤️🌼

nice home tour.

The Dream is a very different king of novel for Zola. I enjoyed it, and read it very quickly.

Nice to see you. Glad you're enjoying the summer vacation outside of the fatigue. An interesting mix of books! I have such a hard time with horror movies. I can read them but I hate the jump scares in movies with the sudden loud noises.

Haha . . . I am always adjusting my “life hacks” … love that term.
