Hi Jen, It's lovely to see you and listen to you talking about books ❤ It makes me so happy to hear you talk about your daughter! Take care Xxx

Just finished The Centre, on your recommendation, and came back to hear your thoughts again having now read it! I loved it and will be thinking about it for a long time to come

I love you so much ❤ Hope you and your family are excellent ❤️

Anyone interested in reading my books ? ❤🎉❤

What fantastic questions! And such sweet baby noises 😊 My favourite audio so far this year is How To Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair, it's amazing, she reads it beautifully. I'm excited about Familiaris by David Wroblewski, the sequel to the girl with the louding voice, the new Anna James middle grade series and the new Sally Rooney 😊 x

Oh wow has it been 10 years since book of strange new things. What is time!?

This was really helpful thanks for the video. I’m in a reading slump atm

New to your channel and catching up on your content.. Recently read Prophet song my favourite book of the year so far. And of course you were spot on chosing it as your number one choice for last years Booker prize❤

Nice video! Love the historical context and images. The burning of wolf-Peter and his mistress and child is tragic, however when you go back a few thousand years to times of Ancient Greece, the women controlled religion, magic, drugs, potions, healing and glamour. Circe had magic (dugs) that would turn men into beasts and tame animals like wolves and leopards and lions. Artemis would turn men who caught her bathing into stags and have her wolves or hounds tear them apart. Most of history, women were the center of religion and magic, until the monastic Judaism and its offshoots put everyone into boxes and destroyed that which wasn’t them. Seems fairytales carry ancient traditions down through the ages

Hello lovely Jen, I am trying to find a video where you recommend soft beanies and scarves, and where you tend to get them? Or did I imagine it. Thank you ❤.

The first written account is a hundred years after the event. This leads me to believe that the timing of what really happened is not completely accurate. The number of children does not appear to be that many, for a main town. All of this leads me to believe that a number of things happened, over a longer time scale, as some of the possibilities were from 1212, and others later than 1284. It sounds very likely that there were a number of different things that could have happened, children dancing, until they die, families sending their children away from the town, to somewhere safe. Whole families, including the children, moving somewhere else, to find work. Along with the plague, there were things similar to the Black Death about the time that this was supposed to happen. The other possibility was that the children were taken for slavery, as well as the Crusade. All of these could have happened over a number of years, but the timeline was compressed to a day, when they were able to write the story.

I loved Forrester

I totally get why you were proud of yourself for doing this. You have inspired me to do something similar. Loved it. Thank you x

I would like to recommend you the best book I've read this year so far - "Bewilderment" by Richard Powers. I'm sure you may love it :)

Always enjoy your content and chat. I sense you're enjoying motherhood ......enjoy - they grow so quickly. Foster made me cry also

Hi Jen! Did you ever read the Moomin books you bought? And did you talk about them on here? Thanks!

Can’t wait for when your little one is old enough to get you to read the same (initially cute) soporific books over and over. Can you count every time? 😂

Not me finding out after reading both The Mother and The Dream House that Richard Armitage narrates them!!! I've enjoyed going back into crime/mystery/thriller books through your recommendations. I had been in quite an extended reading slump but they've really got me excited about reading again! So thank you! And loved hearing your happy daughter ❤

Always enjoy your vlogs. I especially enjoy your discussion about children's books. Wish you could do an entire vlog about children's books. Your little one's squeals are always welcome!

ONE DAY was made into a movie in to a movie with Anne Hathaway already

Thank you

Loved this catchup! I missed the Book of Strange New Things book club, but I might still try to read it this year, I'm sure I would love it

I always love watching your videos...interesting as always!! Happy reading, Jen. ❤

Hooray, a Jen video!

I’m so excited for the new Jacqueline Wilson book ❤

Love catching up with your videos. If you are looking for a good crime series you should check out the Washington Poe series by M.W Craven. I love the characters xx

Lovely to have you back, Jen. I’m adding a few more books to my TBR so thank you. 😄💙

Foster made me absolutly sob! and don't worry about happy baby sounds, they are lovely!

Hi 👋 ya Jen🤗 Brilliant hearing baby singing in background. ❤

Good to see you Jen, excited to hear Sarah Moss and Evie Wyld have new books coming out. Hello to your little one!

I love The Hole so much, just go in knowing that it's super super weird lol

I also didn't really like The Factory, but loved Weasels in the Attic. Personally I thought The Hole was more similar to Weasels in the Attic so hopefully you like it!

Would be cool to see your spreadsheets if its not to personal. :D

Great to see you Jen. Thanks a milkion for new reading recommendations. I have Foster next to me, due to start so am exited to pick it up now.

I thought you had some weird birds in the background. Or my dryer was on the way out down in the cellar 😆

I really missed your videos. There's no one quite like you! 😊

Lovely to see your face! I just finished reading Antarctica and I think maybe Claire Keegan isn’t for me. It’s the third of hers I’ve read and they seem to shoot entirely over my head and out into space… I duno what that’s about 😂

Congratulations on the little precious one! 🥰💋 we can hear her, but don’t apologize. It is sweet 💜🥰

Great video Jen

My day is now made! Thanks for posting/sharing! My TBR has grown exponentially. 🙂

Missed you Hope all is well.

An update from Jen is a complete delight! Also I'm deaf and read your captions, thank you for your work making your content accessible!

Awesome you posted! Love your channel!

❤📚

Woohoo! I've been anticipating this like the new House of the Dragon season! Probably more actually. :D

I missed you 😭❤️

I just found you and am 5 months post partum myself with my first. Love books and your vibe and your content is very relatable right now. Also had a complicated outcome to my cesarean, although yours sounds much more complicated and challenging. Solidarity and compassion your way Mama. Thanks for sharing!

Love your reviews❗️❗️
