The Master and Commander film adaptation was excellent. It's a pity they didn't continue with the series.

Bravo, good work Mariah! Rudi.

[@MariahDolenc]

Thanks Rudi!

[@marjanpevec]

Marija beri sebi in otrokom slovenske knjige in pravljice, slovenske pravljice so izvirne in čudovite.

[@lekukule]

I like your list a lot, have read some of the books from it as well and are really good! However I was wondering - a misliš, da bi znala/ si pripravljena prebrati tudi kakšno lažjo knjigo v slovenščini? Just a thought anyways :D

[@suzanaorevic4795]

This was a great a video, I really enjoyed it. You seem as a very versatile person.

[@l.u.c.y.3590]

Thanks for these reccommendations! Just ordered Miyazaki's book for my husband as he is a huge fan.

[@MariahDolenc]

Yes! They’re great 👍🏼

I too was captivated with the O'Brian series and was devastated when he died. As a U.S. Coast Guard cadet, I had the thrill of sailing the 295-foot barque EAGLE to Europe and two years later to the Caribbean for summer training cruises. Our ports of call were Bergen, Norway, London, La Corǔna, Spain, and Bermuda, then San Juan, Santo Domingo, Curaçao and the St. Lawrence to Quebec. These are largely in the Aubrey-Maturin area of operations. That made the books more personal. I went on to become a CG officer and ship's officer and then aviator and served for 29 years.

[@MariahDolenc]

That sounds absolutely exhilarating. What an experience!

At the beginning of February, I started reading Wuthering Heights for the first time. I feel like WH is for me, what Pickwick Papers will be for you this year. Just enjoying a classic work… of 1801 England. WH is very… rural and lonely. They gossip a lot. It’s really a tale of maintaining family balance amidst multiple characters vying for power in their own way.

[@MariahDolenc]

Whuthering Heights is a good one. I feel like when all my kids are grown up and I have a lot more time on my hands I will go back and read all of those old classics again.

Wow! Happy to see you!! I have a bunch of books I am reading, too... but in french ...

[@kajazalokar]

For me i will probably read again The Bronze Horseman trilogy. I read it last year and fell totally in love with the characters, storyline. It's in my top 5 reading books🙂☺️

[@MariahDolenc]

Oooh I’ll add it to my list.

[@Laurinda15]

Came back to suggest Breath by James Nestor.

[@bordereani5862]

Ufff... Miyazaki rocks!!! :)

[@milecucek8395]

I wish you would add to your list my book - The Big Circle, by Emilijan Cucek - available also in e-form on Amazon. You would see how someone from Slovenia discovered California - and learned how to live there That was over 60 years ago. I remember driving past your town on the way to Tahoe for 25 years...And now, my youngest comes to Washington place, (in California that is), quite regularly. It is, was, a small world.... Best regards Emilijan

[@MariahDolenc]

How lovely! I would be very happy to add your book to my list ☺️

[@milecucek8395]

@@MariahDolenc I can send a copy to your hubby's office - no charge, of course... would that be ok. Mile

[@MariahDolenc]

@@milecucek8395 yes, of course! Thank you ☺️ it’s in the video description.

[@milecucek8395]

@@MariahDolenc Did you get it ?

[@milecucek8395]

I sent the book to Klanska ul - is this OK. Regards Mile C.

[@Bufekana]

Ej Mariah ful lepo no👍❤️. Po moje so otroci presrečni ko skupaj prebirate zgodbe za lahko noč. Ko pripoveduješ o tem kako bereš knjige svojim otročičkom se mi kar nariše nasmešen na obrazu.To namreč tudi jaz počnem😊👍

[@loveiseverything6568]

Dan Brown books, any of them!

[@MariahDolenc]

Added to my list!

[@stephenmccarthy5653]

Hi Maria… Have you read “Forbidden Bread” by Erica Johnson Debeljak?

[@MariahDolenc]

Not yet, but I have heard of it. I will add it to my list.

[@stephenmccarthy5653]

@@MariahDolenc I really think you’ll like it.. it’s relatable to you. My Slovenian girlfriend recommended it for me a few years ago. Happy reading!
