Can't wait to read Ruth's book - she is so funny! So happy you loved Better Man - what a wonderful concept - love him or hate him, Robbie Williams is a force of nature, and makes me laugh. Playing Nice was very good, and also Black Doves with Sarah Lancashire and Keira Knightley, and The Split is probably my favorite TV show of the last 10 years - adore Nicola Walker, and I'm sorry it's over, and also sorry their was no Christie (Barry Atsma) in the final. Loved both seasons of The Diplomat with Keri Russell & Rufus Sewell, looking forward to the next season with Alison Janney & Bradley Whitford (from West Wing).

Please keep doing the book reviews Caroline.📚 As an avid book reader myself I love to see what others are reading.📖

[@FiReadsBooks]

Hi Caroline Slow Horses is great if you haven’t seen it, as was Ludwig. The next White Lotus is due out soon so the first two series are worth a look.

[@wendybrown3502]

Loved this Caroline! I finished watching Manhunt: OJ Simpson on Netflix last night. So eye opening. Highly recommend!❤

[@elizabethbrown6287]

Love a favourites video Caroline! ❤ Some great recommendations here. My favourite recent book is Precipice by Robert Harris. A fictionesque take on actual historical events, namely the love affair between H H Asquith and Venetia Stanley at the start of WW1. A fab read, and you'll also learn something. Film: Mrs Harris Goes To Paris - just a lovely, feel good watch with a brilliant cast. TV: best recent watch is Kaos, a really entertaining modern take on Greek mythology starring Jeff Goldblum. Gutted it hasn't been commissioned for a second series. Hubby and I have also just binged Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job. They renovate an old house, part interiors show, part travelogue, part friendship/love. 😊 I have bought the escape room game, right up my street! Thanks Caroline. Xxx

[@tay7366]

Love the book reviews I never know what to order I seem to spend longer looking for the book than reading them 😂

[@maureenmcgreevy3866]

Books. Anything by Santa Montefiore. Favourite film, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.😊

[@Joan-COYI]

Thank you Caroline, you know I love your favourite videos especially book reviews, and thanks for reading out the titles. I watched Playing Nice too. Brilliantly acted but tense. The author loves a nasty man! I enjoyed the traitors so watched 2 series of the Australian one and they are worth watching to the end. Very entertaining. Love Will’s board game and will get as presents. Loved The Liar film and the Split special. I was concerned that it wouldn’t be good as I loved the way the series ended. I was delighted with the special, what a great cast, I hope that’s the last of it now. Leave those characters to rest! Apparently a new “Split” with new women and set in Manchester is on the way. That should be good. I can’t read or watch dementia themed stuff either and don’t think I ever will. I’m rereading the five Cazalet Chronicle books by Elizabeth Jane Howard and I’ve loved Elizabeth Strout’s novels too. I hope you have a lovely February, I’m so glad it’s getting a bit lighter. 💕

[@lindabaker6099]

Great video lots of variety❤️👍🏻

[@kimastin1717]

[@amomentwithgod5607]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve just ordered the mascara! The Good Liar was such a good film! Loved the jumper you’re wearing ❤

[@beverleybirch2169]

Thanks Caroline, would recommend watching Slow Horses and Temple, both very watchable 😊

[@Bealot123]

Thanks Caroline. I absolutely love your favourites. Have my notepad ready and pass on to my daughter as well. Must try the burgundy mascara for sure. X

[@veronicwbrennan4002]

Did one of the father's in Playing Nice star in Happy Valley? Great actor.

[@tinastalktime]

Loved this video Carolinexxxx

[@belindabayfield698]

Hi Caroline, great reviews as always. I book I am enjoying at the moment is " oh Miriam by Miriam Margolyes. She is a very frank says it how it is kind of lady but very well read and a lover of words and in my opinion a very loving loyal beautiful sole. ❤

[@marjorie3044]

Hi Caroline, the sky high mascara is amazing, if you like the Burgundy one, they have a new one out called Plum twilight, which is also lovely, and I think on offer in Boots at the moment. 😊

[@karenlowes7802]

This is my favorite type of video that you do. Thanks for the heads up about the socks which I'm trying to learn to knit.lol😂

[@jacquelinegreen9157]

Super, thank you for sharing your favourites. Really enjoy your recommendations. Must try the burgundy mascara. xx

[@Europa1749]

Book recommendations are much appreciated.

[@deirdrehaynes6571]

Love the book review Caroline. BTW you are looking fantastic love the burgundy mascara. Xx

[@sheilab6765]

Absolutely love reading Kate Atkinson especially life after life. Enjoyed the traitors on tv. Would also recommend slow horses and had sisters on Apple tv.

[@maureenwright8877]

Another great vlog going to watch the good liar also going to order the mascara keep doing the book reviews 😊

[@gwynethowen1511]

I too like the burgundy mascara Caroline. I have also just bought the eyebrow liner that you recommended in a previous video. Truly it is a case of you try, I buy! I feel that it is going to be the same with books and films now Caroline. I will definitely be getting the books and watching the films that you recommend. Hubby and I are off to Barbados (which we love) at the end of this month. We are so looking forward to it. I will take you with me. x

[@CarolineMrsM]

Ooh lovely, looking forward to some sunshine, thank you!

[@timeout2770]

Loved The Good Liar good twist at the end.

[@juliewigley5781]

We have played many of the ‘Cryptic Killers’ games. They are brilliant. Great to take on holiday for rainy evenings so I do recommend those 😊

[@heatherleutscherwarren9459]

Always love your roundups. I watched Squid Games and thought the same as you but as husband loves it I guess we will watch season (thank god it’s the last one) 3!!😅

[@veronicwbrennan4002]

As usual very watchable video. You saying you gave up on reading a book. It was something until now I could never do, now like my life in general I don't waste my time on something I am not wholehearted in to. Must say Caroline, doing a close up so we could see the mascara, which incidentally I will buy, we saw you skin up close. Beautiful Caroline, absolutely beautiful. Give us your secret or do you have a mirror in the attic.😂

[@drogna3905]

A great variety of things to try Caroline. Thank you

[@barbararenda3764]

Thank you great vlog

[@moirainstance2685]

This was brilliant thank you x

[@magsohara7908]

Hi Caroline. Loved the split. I didn’t realise that “Archie” was Dame Maggie Smiths son. I’m currently reading The Bee Keeper of Aleppo. Quite strange but absolutely horrifying what some refugees have to suffer until they are safe from death/persecution. Also reading a Donna Leone novel set in Venice. A crime novel but slightly more cerebral and not gory at all. Learning lots about Venice in her novels. 📚. Thanks for sharing 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@juliewigley5781]

Have you seen a series called Palm Royale Caroline? It’s fab if you fancy a bit of kitch set in the 50’s/60’s palm beach. I did enjoy it

[@CarolineMrsM]

Yes, loved it!

[@CaroleSP]

One of my fav kind of vlogs too ❤

[@taleebah63]

Playing Nice was gripping for me, 😊

[@debsskene1078]

Hi Caroline, the best book I read last year was Any Human Heart by William BoydI. It has stayed with me. It is the journals of a man, Logan, whose story is remarkable: with so many plot twists and major changes. And yet each phase of his life and activity is believable as his life touches famous people including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Ian Fleming and many more. It very special.

[@deniseowen9424]

You are very persuasive 😄i was impressed by three of your favourites, so much so, i ordered them all 😅the seasoning, hair care, and three tier storage you mentioned in the previous videos I think my own recommendation, from Amazon is dried raspberries, amazing to sprinkle on desserts, adding a zing to ice-cream and smoothies, fabulous in a homemade rocky road, which I'm addicted too at the moment...Thinking you were asking for a book or film recommendation though ..apologies 🤣

[@josephinerimmer6888]

Have seen telly ads for Maybelline burgundy mascara, looks gorgeous. Btw love your sweater.

[@katherinebrown8939]

Oooh my fave kind of video too ❤

[@katherinebrown8939]

Can I hope for a Temu haul coming our way soon?? Hope so

[@CarolineMrsM]

Funnily enough I just filmed a Temu haul segment for the end of the weekly vlog you'll see next Wednesday :)

[@sueharding111]

Caroline, have you read Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney? I would highly recommend it . :)

[@janettesinclair6279]

Thank you for recommending that hair product - will try that, and will also try the mascara as I find black is too harsh. Books and films - these are very personal tastes, aren’t they? I rarely read novels, much prefer biographies/autobiographies. Love your jumper - very pretty.

[@AliIsaac-k8f]

You influenced me lol. Socks and tights on their way!

[@taleebah63]

Please carry on with reviewing books and films Caroline- we seem to have similar tastes!

[@FranandChrisAskew]

I love the author T M Logan. He's definitely worth reading. On TV I have enjoyed watching Ludwig and Patience.

[@traceyowers9095]

Will try the hair product as my hair has gone so limp.

[@janworthy2741]

Hi Caroline, thank you for sharing with us, I love soft socks but are they warmI am afraid warmth comes first with me as I hate having cold feet. Love your jumper, it looks very pretty but not over the top ( I do not mean that to sound rude). Please take care and stay safe.

[@JudithWright5]

Very much enjoyed this round up Caroline ❤ My favourite socks are Nordic socks. I too was drawn to the burgundy mascara and love it. I don’t read as much as I should but I enjoyed your review. I thought that The Good Liar was a good film. Will ask my son if he has seen Heretic as he is a fan of horror. I hated the first Joker film too at the cinema and left early. Thank you ❤ Ps ordered the hair product.

[@JudithWright5]

Recently watched Lockerbie Search for The Truth highly recommended. Watched it on Sky ❤

[@AnnMoore-wl4wk]

Love your round up flogs, on your recommendation I’ve bought a few useful things, ie the phone holder for the car. Plus I’m an avid reader and find your reviews helpful, you seem to do such a lot with your time , makes me feel a bit of a couch potato 😅 do you like psychological thrillers, I discovered Chris Carter last year., and can recommend if you do. Thank you for all your vlogs love following you, bit jealous of all the weight you’ve lost 😠 but wish you well in your journey x

[@sharonheppell8378]

Great Vlog Caroline!!! 👍 🙏🧘‍♀️🪷🕊💫💞💖

[@greenfields8386]

Loved the format of the video ❤ Would you share where your lovely pearl jumper is from Thanks 😊

[@CarolineMrsM]

Hi, it's a dress and it's from Evans last autumn so may well still be available :)

[@greenfields8386]

@CarolineMrsM Thanks so much

[@jillfortune1790]

Sally red shoes by Ruth hogan is fabulous, her best one in my opinion. If you get a deal on kindle give it a try.

[@anneross5347]

Hi Caroline, I would like to recommend any book by Shari Low, my eyesight is not what it was so I listen on audible, the usual narrator is Helen Mcalpine and she is brilliant. Shari’s books have new and old characters in them and her writing is second to none, give her ago I think you will enjoy. ❤ I also recommend Grace and Frankie with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson, funny and wonderfully acted, and finally Black Doves on Netflix ❤❤❤

[@susanrogers4730]

You certainly pack a lot into your life!

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

It was useful and interesting, Caroline. At the moment I’m re-watching Dexter which I’m enjoying. The latest film I saw at the cinema was “A Complete Unknown”. It’s a biopic of Bob Dylan. Excellent performance by Timothee Chalomet and an interesting film, but my goodness, Dylan seems to be a pretty horrible person.

[@CarolineMrsM]

That one's on my list, mostly as I'm very interested in Joan Baez, absolutely love her music.

[@timeout2770]

Martin Clunes drama very good, bit disappointed with the ending, maybe a second series planned.

[@soniauk4284]

Excellent video caroline ❤ Paradise on Disney 😮😮😮 so good. Manhunt channel 4 24 hts in police custody

[@EileenLymer-i7w]

Really enjoyed watching, both useful and interesting. Xx
