I saw the mirrored thumbnail and why did my brain say “oh, it’s because they’re Australian” lmao

[@radiantchristina]

What a soothing video! You read some great books. Stoner was my favorite read this year. I also re read Devotions by Mary Oliver and it is an all time favorite collection. My reading goal for 2025 is to read less and more slowly, with more intention. Have a beautiful 2025!

I’ve been seeing some buzz around Shred Sisters, you’ve added to it. I need to get my mitts on it. Fantabulous, what a brilliant way to describe Levy. I need to read your favourite, I’ve read her previous novel and loved it so gotta get to it, it’s on my shelves waiting. Happy New Year when it comes!!

[@Grandpasbookclub]

You definitely need to read Betsy’s book. You will love it!! Happy new year ❤

[@soloselina]

so glad the algorithm brought me to this video. too much and not the mood is one of my all time favourite books so my jaw dropped when you mentioned it (also clicked because of the mary oliver in the thumbnail lol)

[@Grandpasbookclub]

How good is Durga!!! I need to see her adaption of bonjour tristesse as well

[@elisazouza]

Just discovered this channel and subscribed! KZbin should have definitely recommended it sooner, we seem to love the same genres and I really enjoy the calm vibes of this video

I randomly happened upon this video but I’m glad I did! This is how I found out Patti Smith has a substack lol. I haven’t read a Patti Smith novel yet because idk where to start. But I will be bringing her substack tonight

ahhh so excited for your 2025 cusk journey! i have 4 books left to read from her and am trying to space them out for the future. the story of a new name also solidified my love for the neapolitan novels!! and love to see the love for too much and not the mood 💗

[@poetrybyalinka2483]

Your taste in books is amazing!!! Pls could you write down the authors and the book titles in the description? I couldn't catch some names since the video is mirrored. Thank you!

[@Grandpasbookclub]

@@Grandpasbookclub thank you very much!!

[@onosabdulrafi]

The mere mention of Mary Oliver's Wild Geese has half convinced me to try Deborah Levy again.

[@juliette-matisse]

I discovered Deborah Levy this year! Can’t wait to read ‘the position of spoons’!!💘

[@MyTinyLittleLife]

interesting list of books. excited to see your list for 2025!

[@jonquilmr13]

Frankenstein was definitely my favorite read this year

[@vanessamccarthy8224]

Pretty please reverse the books in follow up videos. Loved this but hurt my eyes trying to read backwards.

Are You British Through any Lineage in your Family Tree? If you don't mind me asking.... P.S. Top book of 2024 was The Shadow of the wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

[@faisalsalik5595]

please, fix your audio would really like to listen if i actually could

[@Grandpasbookclub]

@@faisalsalik5595 I can’t hear any issues with the audio?!? Maybe your device? Xx

[@monizlit]

I've heard the best way to store your copy of woolgathering is to let it breathe! Keep your windows open and door unlocked and it will live long forever!
