I had two 5⭐️ reads in August - This Tender Land and The Frozen River. Loved seeing Savannah and the bookstore (which looks so spacious and light filled!). Also, I love that you’re helping the foxes! (Animal lover here)🦊 😊

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Cynthia! I just fed the foxes again today. I’m glad you enjoyed the Kruegger book, his other stuff is good too. Thanks for watching 💕

[@mollyalladin2431]

Heather- you are so fun! I am here for the ride! One if my top picks for this year is What The Wind Knows by Amy Harmon. It was a time travel type premise and that is a favorite of mine.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Molly! I’m so glad you get some joy from my little channel 🥰 Thank you for your ongoing support 💞

[@SarahAsYouWish]

Great scenes from around Savannah. I love that you’re making breakfast for the foxes. 🦊 ❤ My favorites from the first half of the year are probably I Who Have Never Known Men, and The Ship of Magic which is the first book of a fantasy trilogy by Robin Hobb.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Sarah! I really need to try Robb. I feel like if there’s a fantasy series I’d enjoy, it’d be from her 🤞🏼🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks for watching 💕

[@TxMonaLisa]

I have wanted to visit Savannah for years. Seeing your inserts of places around town has moved Savannah higher on my list. It’s as beautiful as I had imagined.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Mona! And I really didn’t scratch the surface of how beautiful and fascinating and fun this town is. I hope you get to visit soon. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@dmurfval702]

I like it! Love the tour in pictures. Beautiful pictures, beautiful place. Still waiting for All the Colors of the Dark. Seems it's getting mixed reviews. I've always had a weird fascination with snakes. Totally agree on North Woods! Three of my faves this year, The Women, The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon and The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. I've had a pretty good reading year so far.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Donna! I’m happy to hear you’re having a good reading year. I hope your library hold comes through soon. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@heth300]

I loved this vlog. Savannah is on my bucket list of places to visit one day.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Heth! It’s truly beautiful here. I hope you get to visit soon. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@Justine_S]

Totally agree re North Woods! Favs so far this year would have to be In Memoriam by Alice Winn and Same As It Ever Was by Claire Lombardo. Ordinary Human Failings is up there too.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Justine! Aaaah, Ordinary Human Failings 🤍🤍So good! I’m so glad you enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@terryzamora3330]

My two favorite books this year are A Better Man in the Gamache series and Butcher and Black Bird by Brynn Weaver.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Terry! The Gamache series is so good, right? This inspires me to read the next, I’m only on #4) Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@lorrainescanlon5277]

Hi Heather, Love your content in any way shape or form! One of my favorite books this year is The Story of Edgar Sawtelle 😢. I have had it on my shelves forever, finally got to it and it was spectacular.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Lorraine! Aaaaaah, Edgar Sawtelle 🥹🥹 My heart. So good, right? I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@sweeteliz]

Enjoyed the view of Savannah and especially your bookstore! My reading year has been pretty eh too ... but it is starting to look up! No 5-star reads yet but I did like Tana French's The Hunter and also Liz Moore's The God of the Woods .. both 4 stars. I only just started James by Percival Everett but it already feels like it *could* be my first 5-star read! 🤞🏼All three of these have been THIS month! Before that a lot of 3 stars and DNFs.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Liz! I’m glad to hear you’re having such a wonderful reading month! Thanks for watching 💕

[@bjminton2698]

Savannah is beautiful, isn't it? Thank you for sharing. I love that you cook for your foxy neighbors 🥰. I just finished Because of Winn-Dixie. It was wonderful! I think that you recommended it. Thank you!! Two of my best reads through June have been The Last Devil to Die by Osman and A Darkness More Than Night by Connelly. My most enjoyable reads were the first 7 of the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Crazy fantasy with magic and were creatures and monsters, but I loved them!! Kate is a strong, independent, sarcastic protagonist - my favorite kind!! Enjoy the rest of your summer!!

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hello! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed a book I recommended 👏🏼👏🏼 Yes, it never gets old how beautiful Savannah is. Have you been? Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@bjminton2698]

​@readingwithavengeance I had the pleasure of visiting Savannah about 15 years ago. It's very much like Charleston and New Orleans, but all 3 are very individual as well. I simply love all the squares!! I live outside of Birmingham, so you are only about a 7 hour drive.

[@prairierose1115]

James is definitely up there for me. (Recommend re-reading Huck Finn first to get the most out of James). Loved the vlog.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hello! You’re not the first to mention James to me. I may have to check it out. Thanks for watching 💕

[@LindyS1830]

I have read some five star books but have been disappointed in some. Loved your vlog. Favorite book so far is The Thorn Birds and This is Why We Lied. I have read 75 books on my Goodreads. Love Bookstores!

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Lindy! That’s the most recent Will Trent book, right? Have you read all of them?? Thanks for watching 💕

[@LindyS1830]

@@readingwithavengeance yes, I have read most of them. My favorite series is The Grant County. Will Trent is not in those, but Sarah is a main character.

[@twartist1411]

I grew up in Savannah!! I live in effingham now

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hello! Small world! Thank you for watching 💕

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Great tag Answers. I read a ton of literary fiction and standard mysteries are my go to for comfort. I don’t read fantasy or romance, unless the romance is part of the literary fiction. I used to read a ton of romance when I was much younger we are about even on the number of books we read, but I don’t stress out about numbers. As long as I’m enjoying what I’m reading I’m fine. Aloha friend.

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Marilyn! Nice to see you! I think the romance genre has come a long way since we were kids. Still not a genre I gravitate towards but the door is now open occasionally. Thanks for watching 💕

[@justheathers]

Hi Heather, loved this video! I've read a lot of average books just recently, but a couple of standouts have been Held by Anne Michaels, James by Percival Everett, We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson, Surrender by Ray Loriga, Chocolat by Joanne Harris - though I love the movie more! And a Boy and His Dog at the End of the World that I bumped up my tbr after your review!

[@readingwithavengeance]

Hi Heather! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I’m especially happy to hear you loved the The Boy and His Dog!👏🏼👏🏼🥰 You’re not the first person to mention James being at the top of your faves list, I may need to check that out. Thank you so much for watching 💕
