I stumbled upon your channel only yesterday. Since then I have binge watched your video's. I love your vour video's. My favourite classic is Middlemarch by George Elliot. It covers so many aspects of life. It really is a slice of life. Her insight into people and their relationships is brilliant. I would love to hear what you think of it. I read North and South and Wives and Daughters back to back last year. I loved both, but Wives and daughters is definitely the winner. Squire Hamley is a exceptionally well written character. I understand your critique on A Tale of two cities, but I never the less loved it so much. It was one of my top reads of last year, together with Middlemarch and Don Quixote.

I miss you, Jenny. I am so sorry we will never see the reading journal you would have made. With your creativity and ability to go all in on things, I know it would have been amazing.

I like the way you make a review of the books. Yeah jean eyre and wuthering heigths is my favorite.😊❤

She definitely touched my life. It is incomprehensible that such a lovely, talented, charismatic, learned person could have been taken from us in the prime of her life. As she said about Dickens, "I believed everything s/he said even though I knew it wasn't all true. I am truly heartbroken. From Syracuse, New York, I offer her mother, Pam, and her family and friends, my sincerest condolences, as well as thanks for all she contributed to my literary life.

Watching in 2025. Great ideas for Febregency. ❤

Missing you Jenny. I learned so much. Thank you.

May you recieve eternal rest and a peaceful soul through Jesus Christ our Lord. RIP MA'AM

I loved every single page of AToTC! It was the first Dickens novel I read.

I read AToTC last year and loved it very much. Then I read Great Expectations and loved it very much also. Now I wonder if Dickens will be all downhill for me from now on, lol.

I just found this video. Jennifer passed??? She's so young. What happened?

I’m obsessed personally 🤭

❤❤❤

Good presentation Totally agree about Sky in the Deep. Unsatisfying book.

Your light continues to shine bright.

Everyone knows Ezio killed all the Borgias

Boudica, a failure, has a huge bronze statue in London, where-as, in my opinion, Aethelflaed's image in bronze ought to be in it's place. Boudica sought revenge only. Her people as well as thousands of innocent civilians died for it during, and after, the Ecenian/Trinovantian revolt. Alfred paid off the Scandinavians and Dane Law was initiated, which saw the Viking in control of three parts of the island that was not Welsh or Scottish. It was Aethelflaed and, later, Athelstan who drove out Dane-Law and gave rise to the area of our island known today as England. Ironically, the Normans held Aethelflaed in highest regard, at the time, acknowledging her military and political skills. The Normans also referred to Aethelflaed as 'Queen', instead of 'Daughter, or Wife of the King'. Gaining such respect from Norman rulers and warriors of high order speaks volumes. Misogynistic English Kings were envious of a woman who's deeds eclipsed theirs; imo. Misogyny sucks: from a veteran, so-called, "alpha" male non English, British man.

miss you very much

Miss your videos Jennifer. Rest easy.

My 2025 goal, honoring our beloved Jenny, is to read Moby Dick. She has been on my mind for weeks now, no surprise since it’s been a year without her. We love & miss you, Sweet Jenny 🤍 I’ll be thinking of you while reading this 🐋🌊

Rewatching these videos and thinking of Jennifer. I absolutely adored that she was such an eclectic reader, which I can relate to. I’ll be thinking of you Jenny when I read the new Grady Hendrix book and wishing i could hear your always amusing thoughts.

Thinking of you and missing you Jenny. I can’t believe it’s been a year since you’ve been gone 😔

We miss you so much ❤️‍🩹

😢

Thinking of you Jenny 💔

I’ve been thinking about Jennifer a lot lately… Can’t believe it’s been a year. Sending hugs to her family.

Remembering Jenny today. Every time I look at the Divine Comedy and books about Dante I think of her.

One year has passed since you left us, dear Jennifer. Thinking of you and missing you 🤍

Where would you start with his books, if you had to put them in order easy to difficult?

Where has the time gone!? This year has been one of sadness and growth, sadness because you are not here with us, growth because you have brought us together in a special place within the BookTube community. Your memory lives on, we honour you and celebrate your love of books, because #welovejenny !🧡💔

Thinking of you and your family today. x

I Remember this post and the gutted feeling that I had along with so many others. I have thought of Jennifer many times during this year. So very sorry for your loss of this sweet young lady. Lord give you his peace.

I did not realize that he wrote that in the 12th century. I kindq figured it was in the renaissance. Another thing I'm ignorant about... No problem. More to learn.

We are coming to a year of losing Jennifer, I still have her channel and visit it often. Even in her death, I learn something new every time I visit her. May Jennifer rest in peace.

December 2024, I come here to see what Jennifer had to say about "The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi". I'm going to read it for the #WeLoveJenny2025 readathon in January 2025 in memory of her.

Thank you for the comprehensive list and delivery, much appreciated.

About to choose books for 2025 that would be books Jennifer would read....amazing how she just did something she loved and moved so many people with it.

Nearly a year now since we lost this beautiful soul ❤❤❤

God I miss Jen

Pam: I was not acquainted with your daughter on The Tube while she was with us. I only listened to her videos after the fact. Listening to her speak now is very much a Dickensian experience full of expressed emotion and sadness, but still very much worth the candle. This one I had not seen, but the messages here are so much to point that I had to comment. I am old and have only read a few of Dickens novels, although I've seen many adaptations. But the ones I have completed strangely parallel Jennifer's list, although I DNF'd the other half of Copperfield and finished the wanting and lacking Oliver Twist. I read TOTC for the first time last year and found your daughter's summation very astute. The characters mostly miss or seem off, humor is lacking, and some of the writing is flat. But the story arc is so incredible; the two female characters who duke it out at the end, and the atmosphere of Paris and the rattling tumbrils still live rent free in my head. But like Jennifer, I love Great Expectations. It was the first serious piece of fiction I read in freshman English, it IS the perfect novel, and it made a reader out of me. It was so much a part of the young me and brings back aIl the people I knew then (many now gone) and loved that I relate to this book in a way that is like no other.

I miss Jen so much, especially during the holidays

I miss you Jen ❤ I wish you a happy holiday up there

Jennifer, we didn’t know each other but I miss you with your sweet presence and interesting videos ❣️I am not able to watch your videos yet, although I want to because I guess I am not able to accept the loss of your beautiful presence gone too soon. I just stopped by to leave this comment and say that you are not forgotten by so many❤️

I LOOOOVEEEEE THE LONG CLASSICS. I know it is not a straightforwad task. But I tell you after reading them you will be very very happy...

But now-days we have the option to take a pic of the pages in French and Google is going to translate the whole page for you, that is not an obstacule any more !!!

If you want to face War and Peace you will have to read first: The Death of Ivan Iich Crime and Punishment The Mother Dead Souls The Idiot The Brothers Karamazov Anna Karenina AND FINALLY WAR AND PEACE ...

我来弗洛伦萨看但丁，就找了博主当初介绍景点的视频，想着一个不漏的看过去。这才发现博主竟然。。。。真的很让我惊讶，当初看了很多博主介绍神曲和各种古典文学的视频，做的真的很棒。哎，没想到现在竟然阴阳两隔😢😢😢

I am interested in the Arabian Nights Entertainments edited by Robert Mack. It's the first English translation of the book, based on the French version by Antoine Galland. Do you have it? It's interesting that it's not faithful to the original source but it's certainly the translation that had the most important impact in English literature.

Yesterday was your birthday--blessings, Jenny!💟

Miss you Jenny ❤❤

Thanks, Jennifer, love the video ❤
