I've ordered your book. I went through ivf multiple times. It was very isolating, and i still have strong feelings about that time. To the point i trained to become a counsellor. My daughter sleeps next door and knows all that is age appropriate. I hope if she ever needs ivf she won't feel like it needs to be hidden, like i did, like many do. I look forward to receiving your book, though i recognise your vulnerability, generosity and bravery in putting it out there. Thank you.

Ah this was great! Watched the video on the tv because if you make a video the length of an actual film, you deserve the big screen hahaha. After seeing the longlist, I ordered All the Little Bird-Hearts, How to Build a Boat, Pearl, Western Lane and In Ascension, but definitely most excited for the first one (which is thus far also the only one to arrive on my doorstep, so will probably start it this evening!!!). Also *very* intrigued by Prophet Song, especially now that you've picked it as your winner!! I'll pre-order your poetry collection pronto, usually not a poetry reader at all, but the sample poem hooked me! Hope you've had a good weekend and your streak of good reading continues! :)

It was so fantastic to hear your thoughts on all of these books.

I’ve been having lots of trouble finding them in my library in the US as some of them haven’t been published here yet so I may need to do audio.

I loved watching this so thanks for the time it must have taken to put together 😊 I'm plodding my way through the longlist but I've had to focus on some non booker books because they're due back at the library. I'm having fun reading them though. It was interesting to hear you talk about which ones you listened to vs read physically. I always worry that I'm more generous with books I listened to because I only listen to books if I love the narrator. I'm listening to Old God's Time and it's such a vibe! After what you said I'm not sure whether to listen to The Bee Sting or not. Did you prefer listening or reading? Are you looking forward to just reading what you fancy now? 😅 Loved the poem! ❤
@jenvcampbell
@jenvcampbell Жыл бұрын
Definitely preferred listening to The Bee Sting. I'd love to know what you think of the audiobook, as I think you'd enjoy it, too. I particularly loved the son and daughter sections, and would have loved to have read a whole book just with them. And, yes, going to casually dive into some WIT titles now, with no deadlines, ha. x

I genuinely wonder how many people have been excitedly waiting for this video. I watched it twice and indulged in special occasion ice cream (fireweed and honey) toward the end of the second time around. My favorite author thus far is MacInnes. I definitely want to read everything that he has written. I am most confused by Pearl. I would also rather be reading Daisy Johnson, but I do enjoy it’s take on memory. Regardless, it doesn’t feel like a “Booker Book” to me, and I’m really curious what the judge’s decision process/argument was with that one. Subtlety seems to be a theme this year, so maybe I just didn’t get it. After watching your vlog, I am most excited about picking up All The Little Bird Hearts. Thanks, Jen!🎉

I have adhd and I love to have your videos on while I am doing other things for example cooking. I noticed especially with The Bee Sting that you don't mention the book at the end by name anymore. I usually only get interested in books after the review so I have to scroll back and find out how the book was clled again. Nothing bad just something I noticed. I've seen other KZbinrs put the title of the book they're talking about in a corner of the video I thought it's a neat idea so one can always keep track of what is being talked about 😊

Thanks for this Epic video 😲🤓🧐 all of which is interesting, even the dnf-s. What struck me most was a side issue almost, the one where you mostly 'listened' to one of the huge books but went back to the text itself for the last maybe hundred pages: it's so lucky you picked the book back up and noticed that amazing punctuation point 👏 Who knew (if you're me) that Visual and Oral texts can be made to achieve such different things, who would have guessed. It drew me to the Bee book (I think it was the bee book?!) instantly, the idea things can't all be crammed into the ear or conveyed by the lips. Raw Text, wow.... thanks for that, Jen - and congrats on the safe emergence of DNTTE. I've been waiting to buy this all year.

I think you just gain different things in each format - both equally valid. ☺ x

Great video - after seeing the longlist I decided to read In Ascension- a fellow scientist called Lee/Leigh, I couldn’t not but I also thought the premise sounded interesting- glad you enjoyed it. I hope to pick up others before the winner is announced 😊

I always look forward to your videos every Sunday, especially when they are long reading vlogs! Since my main genre is fantasy, I don't often read books that fall into the Booker category but both the Prophet Song and The House of Doors sound intriguing

I'm interested in reading In Ascension because Eric Anderson said that as soon as he finished it he turned to page one and read it all over again. I'm also interested, based on your review here, in Prophet Song and Old God's Time. Which is (or may be) a bit interesting because I don't read many books by male authors.

So great to hear you review all these! So far I've only read Western Lane - I see what you mean about the writing style but personally found that it kept the novel pacey alongside being subtle, which I think can be hard to achieve. And I know exactly what you mean about those emotional moments that suddenly get you towards the end. I cried! Before your video Pearl and In Ascension were the other books that appealed to me. I think I'll probably still try Pearl as I already have a copy, and am looking forward to getting to In Ascension. I might add Prophet Song and The House of Doors to the list!

Thank you so much for reading the longlist so soon. The cover for Pearl looks so adorable. Someone compared it to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (which I thought was okay) so I will sit tight about getting around to it. How to Build a Boat is on my radar. I think I will get Birnham Wood first (even though it's not on the list) as I saw a gorge edition in my local Waterstones in Stockport and feel like that will gear me up to read some new releases. I recently read The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham and wasn't sure how much of the book was based off of real people after the narrator posits himself as knowing the characters in real life and writing about them. The House of Doors sounds like a good read now that i have read a little of Maugham's own stuff.

I think the book definitely would be more interesting with added context (I enjoyed researching and learning more of his life alongside, which is not necessary of course but I couldn't help myself, ha) x

Uuuuh I'm really excited about Prophet Song and maybe also Old God's Time? I'm usually not a big crime reader but I'm kind of intrigued by this one
