Long time no see! I'm back with two stellar books!

[@erinh7450]

Ann! So good to see you back! So sorry to hear the job hunt is so frustrating. (and I can't believe all the testing you have to do!) Here's hoping for good things very soon!! 🤞

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

So good to see you, Ann. I'm sorry that the job search has been so difficult. Wishing all good things for you. I hope there's a great job for you just around the corner.

[@jorgem71962]

I am glad to see you back!

[@sambell2743]

Welcome back Ann, happy to hear you’re reading again! ❤

[@karlalikestoread]

Welcome back! I hope the job search turns around soon. The artifacts and footage you showed from the church are amazing! Ugh, I'm so sorry your basement is flooded :(

[@krzysamm7095]

Great seeing you back posting again. Keep hanging in there on the job search.

[@HannahsBooks]

Welcome back! It is good to see you here again. ❤

[@stevelunde5683]

Thanks Ann Novella. Good luck with your job hunt!

[@LaurieInTexas]

Good to see you again. Good luck with the job search. I feel you definitely dodged a bullet with that one job. The pictures of the church, etc. were awesome.

[@roz_bibli]

So happy you come back Ann ! Really happy 🙏🏻 Bon courage for the job search it is so hard job hunting. Sure you will enjoy « Demon Copperhead », it is excellent🎉

The garden was beautiful. I have a small garden on a small deck in would love that so much that was a pretty church

[@eiketske]

So glad to see you back. I loved Whale fall. I read it during the tail end of my flight back home and loved it. A 10 hour flight leaves a lot of time for reading 😁 Wishing you luck on your job hunt 🤗

Gosh! Sense of righteousness and self-confidence are one of the attractions of this channel, and maybe it was a bullet dodged. Your friend has a lovely garden.

[@AnnNovella]

Thank you, David!

[@deannachavez9226]

The tour was so enjoyable that I barely noticed the weather. Of course, you know all the best places to stop for food and drink. Your confidence makes you a great tour guide. I think those people made a big mistake, but as you say, maybe it wouldn't have been a good situation for you. Thanks again. I loved it all! And now I have more books to read.

[@AnnNovella]

It was wonderful meeting you!

[@sapphoswife1]

Good to see you, love your videos!

[@Narrative_Ink]

Welcome Back!

[@LeeKempter]

SO HAPPY to see you again! I was thinking of you just last night and no here you are ! Goodness this job hunting thing is getting wild isn't it ? Best of luck !

[@thisisveryannoying]

Good to have you back. The books sound very tempting :)

[@AnnNovella]

Glad to see you back too!

[@Gracesbooknook]

I loved the church videos and photos you showed us truly stunning!! I’m a new subscriber and I love your attitude! You are so kind and genuine I hope you are having a wonderful rest of your week!! ❤️❤️

[@AnnNovella]

Welcome, Grace!

[@lindysmagpiereads]

Ann, I’m glad to see you are back. It does sound like you dodged a bullet at that workplace where they wouldn’t have appreciated your strengths. Best wishes going forward with your job search. Whale Fall was already on my radar and now you have increased my interest in it. Nonfiction sounds good too. May you continue to be nourished by stellar books!

[@AnnNovella]

Thank you, Lindy

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Best wishes to you.

[@tam876]

You made the case for Whale Fall! I reserved a copy. 😃

[@abookhug]

Welcome back! Fingers crossed for better times xx (you absolutely dodged the bullet there!!! this is crazy...)

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Great to see you back! Lovely pics!

[@AnnNovella]

thanks Olly!

[@phoenixjones660]

Wow, we forget how crazy colourful churches were before the iconoclasts (and time) attacked them. 👩‍🎨 It's certainly great to have you back and to hear you speaking about books, Ann. Also great to be out and doing with different folks, lovely pics, thanks ☺️ Your interview system sounds.... interesting tho' 🤔?

[@AnnNovella]

These tests are just bizarre.

[@davebrzeski]

I've not read that one, but I always found Julie Myerson's novels have an annoying habit of simply stopping, rather than having an actual ending. It sounds like it's heavily influenced by what happened with her drug addict son. If I remember correctly, she reported her own son to the police, which got her heavily criticised, and appears to have resulted in her not regularly appearing on book and art shows on TV anymore.

[@vesch5083]

Being accused of overconfidence sounds like something that would only be told to a woman. Hope you land a great job soon

[@AnnNovella]

indeed. They prefer someone who’s scared all the time.
