I think 84 Charing Cross Road would be classified under non-fiction memoir, that kind of thing :) Looks like you had a wonderful bunch of books in September, except "Snore-bital"😝

I think James is going to snatch the Booker this year.🤞🏾

The edition of Frankenstein is from 1818 if I am not mistaken. I read another edition and loved it. One day I would like to read the edition that you have. From what I learned your edition is the full novel. I am reading for victober Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell.

Those are some good Victorian choices! Another good one is Three Men in a Boat by Jerome Jerome which is full of shenanigans. I think it’s quite funny, and it’s short too.

that edition of the doctors wife 😭😂😂 you’ve got a great TBR!

Frankenstein is so good.

Apparently there were two novels written about Victorian female detectives in 1864, I'm reading a non-fiction book about Victorian female detectives - now I've been tempted to order those sensation novels, so a couple of page-turners, long forgotten but I think they might be fun. I would recommend 'North and South' by Gaskell, I love that book.

Wow! Congrats. That's real commitment right there.🤗

It definitely can be easier to do things alone because you just get up and go. Trying to figure out things with a group can give you a migraine lol but it’s nice to share a memory with others.

Yay!!! You’re going yo read Zola!🙌🏾 Happy reading!❤

Lawd The Doctor’s Wife looks like a workbook.🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank goodness there’s an ebook. I’m reading Les Misérables but for 2 months. I hope to read another Dickens in December.

Oh, these are an awesome selection of books! Frankenstein is regarded as one of the first science fiction books. It's got it all... a great story with the gothic vibes, and it's great just on that level. But Shelley was questioning what is ethical and questioning how humans play God, imho. I'm reading Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice and I'll be reading Dracula by Bram Stoker later. Loving Interview with the Vampire so far :)

This is SO awesome! Congrats! As an avid journaler (been writing since age 7) this was super inspiring to watch. ❤ Last year, I started art journaling and i think im obsessed lol

You finally getting to see Edwidge!!! 💙💙💙💙

Was that Terrancee Hayes? Damn he's fine! And he's an excellent poet too! Is that a new collection by him? Maybe you can mail it to her by getting her address from the publishers. Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing!

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to go out with others. 4 years ago we were shut in so there’s that. I feel like being on my own more too. You know I’m committed to trying to journal more. I’m thinking about attempting to journal daily in 2025. Thanks for sharing this lovely video and CONGRATULATIONS on your 5 year anniversary!!!!🥂😍❤ You ARE the OG of daily journaling and motivating people to journal daily. I thank you for that!📓🖋️❤️

That’s committed and discipline- very admirable. An unrelated question- what happened to the book you were working on? How far have you reached? I honestly can’t wait to read what you’ve written.

That was really nice of your friend to donate some sewing tools to you. I honestly thought you have been sewing more than 3 years, your makes always look so nice and neat. I want to read “Ella” after listening to you speak on it.

I can’t stop looking at your glasses. I love them

Somebody’s forever is part 2 and it’s more about Dr. Green story it was cute and a very short read…..

Yeah I'm glad I watched your review after reading it because if anybody would ask if I recommend it it would be a no. The story was just to all over the place, the character was mad judgy because of her own identity issues,and the end what...what was that? That was worse than the way they left Girlfriends.

You look cute. Love the make

Looking sharp and I love your voice!!

Hello! The second part was recorded at 8 a.m., so let's correct what I missed during editing. Ella Fitzgerald's mother died when she was 15 years old. The book timeline is correct. Thanks for watching :)

Beautiful makes

Whomp whomp exactly!! It’s hard for me to really separate bad Booker from my current head space. Each to their own at the end of the day. Loads of people as loving it this year. I agree with you though 💤💤❤ Chapter 12 was the best thing about The Safekeep. That was like a 5 star chapter I did like the rest of it but not as much as that chapter. I feel like it would be a great one to re-read ❤️ Glad you enjoyed it! 📚❤️

This was a totally underwhelming year for the Booker. You'll need to read There There before reading Wandering Stars. I think James is going to win. Congratulations!

Seems a lot of people are underwhelmed by a lot of the Booker choices this year. I heard Orbital referred to as Snore-bital😆. So happy to see a book that you are very excited about!

You are impressive!!❤ I have always wanted to pick up sewing. It all looks amazing on you! You are inspirational!

So impressive!

Awesome,you are a brave woman,great job

Love that you decided to chronicle your sewing journey. The growth is amazing and the journal is publish worthy. You are a joy to follow!😊❤

🌸🌸💐💐🌺🌺

Your Mom is a hoot...Happy 69th Birthday!!

Make me something

Love the outfit! Looks good on you! Was that supposed to be gumbo?

Great vlog, Peta! My friends and I walked the bridge when we were in NY. The friend who we were visiting had never walked it & she has lived there for years. Usher! Wu Tang! So much fun!

🌸🌺🌼 I love this bucket list project. I wish I could have been doing that with my Mum too. 😢

I can appreciate the long vlogs.😊 Your mom is hilarious, love her dialect. I think I would have enjoyed the walk across the bridge as well. Thanks for sharing the bucket list with us🌷🌹🌸🌼🌻

💐🌸🌹🌺🌷

That was a great reaction ❤. They announced the shortlist today. Let's see who made it (I am sure "James" did, but then, who knows 😅)

Happy birthday to your mother<3 VIRGOS ROCK!!!

Nice, Usher! But! I had to book a hotel in Amsterdam for next April and rooms were extra expensive because Usher will be performing that night in Amsterdam. Damn!! 💰😂

🌼🌹💐🌺🥀🌷🌻🌸 Glad you both had a wonderful time

🌻🌻🌷🌺🏵🌹All for your mom! she's just fun and adorable! truly a memorable time. The Usher ending is truly cool!

Wonderful vlog and happy birthday to your mother 🎁🥳🌺

lol I knew those dollars he was throwing were Usher dollars. He’s a trip.

Happy Birthday to your mom the Jamaican Champion. I’m so jealous of your Usher seats. My seats in Baltimore were far but I still had a great time.

💐🌷🌻Loved this vlog!!! Your time with your mom was soo cute. Reminds me of me and my mom when we are together. Love to see you enjoying your life! Have a wonderful week.
