My First Reading Wrap Up!

[@novelideea]

Never fails that my TBR grows when I watch you videos, Heather. The Scarlet Pimpernel is an all time favorite. I just saw Cold Moons at the charity shop and now need to race back and pick it up & look for Hero and Crown.

[@WaterBearReads]

Hi Deea! I cant believe that I never read The Scarlet Pimpernel until now! I have known about it all my life because my stepfather was a huge fan. Ha ha! If you do read them let me know what you think, I'd be quite curious! Have a lovely day!☘💚

[@amyofhearthridge]

Oh my. Loooove everything. ♥️ I just read the Scarlett Pimpernel and loved it!

[@WaterBearReads]

It is just so good! Thank you so much for watching and for you sweet comment! Have a lovely day!

So the seven dwarfs are Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey. There's always one I can't remember and I'm not happy!

[@WaterBearReads]

Ha ha very clever! 🤣I havent heard that one before! Dopey is always my very favorite! I always thought he was adorable!

[@kellireadsalot]

I love as always all the Childrens books. You also read too of my favorite of all time! Sleeping Murder is my favorite Ms. Marple and The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my favorite classics!

[@WaterBearReads]

Hi Kelli! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I am so happy to hear that you are also fan of The Scarlet Pimpernel! I suspect that Sleeping Murder may end up being my favorite Ms. Marple too but I have many Agatha Christie's to read still! Have a lovely day!🥰

I love the movie The Great Mouse Detective and didn't realize it was a book! I need to check that one out

[@WaterBearReads]

Hi Laura! The Great Mouse Detective is one of my favorite Disney films and the first book in the series is quite different, but it makes me wonder if the Disney plot was derived from later books in the series. I'll have to check it out. Have you done a Scarlet Pimpernel bookvsmovie video? I would be curious to see what you think!🎥

Hi Heather! Ooh, I love the Angela Barrett Snow White! I belong to a fairy tale group on social media and each year I share a favorite illustration- the one where she is leaning out of the window and it’s winter outside. So evocative and detailed! I didn’t realize it was from a book. Regarding All of a kind family, I just ordered More All of a Kind Family because I thought that was the second book in the series. In terms of publishing date it is, but I didn’t know that Downtown is next in terms of the story timeline. Please remind me of which book we were thinking of, for a buddy read! Great video. 😊

[@WaterBearReads]

Hi Celeste! Oh that is such a coincidence! I knew there is a reason we connected! About All of a Kind Family Downtown, I'm fairly sure it is the 2nd because of the little brother...in "Downtown" he is an infant, but yeah that is strange- I vaguely remember hearing something about this before. I'll have to research it. Let me know if you come across anything different! I am waiting to read More All-of-a-Kind Family whenever you are ready! Just let me know....I dont mind waiting if you find you want to read "Downtown" first. Thank you Celeste for always watching my videos and for commenting!☘

[@WaterBearReads]

Celeste I just remembered something about Angela Barrett that I totally forgot to mention on my video - The Folio Society's current Dracula and Frankenstein are illustrated by her! ☘💚

[@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366]

Thanks- I will get “Downtown“ and read it in and then proceed with “More”. If you haven’t already read it by then, let’s do a buddy read! ❤

[@WaterBearReads]

Sound great!!! Maybe "More" will have the elusive references or storyline tied to Hanukkah that drove me to the series to begin with!@@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366

[@cassandra3399]

Hi, I always love your videos. I just find that I have The All of a Kind Family go Downtown. But I don’t have the first ones. So I’m torn about whether to read it or not. I remember reading The Cold Moons back in those days! I remember it.😊😊😊

[@WaterBearReads]

Oh that is so wonderful! I have not yet met anyone who has read Cold Moons. There was just something about it that caused me to remember years and years later. Hmmm...regarding All-of-a-Kind family Downtown, you know, thinking back on it, I don't think it would have made a difference had I read the second one first, other than their baby brother is in the second and not in the first. Let me know if you read it and if you find it to be different. Thank you so much for watching my videos, and for your lovely comments! ☘💚

I love Eva Ibbotson! So glad you and your son are enjoying her too. Robin McKinley also wrote Spindles End which I loved. The Scarlet Pimpernel series is great - I read most of them when I was in college.

[@WaterBearReads]

Hi! Do you have a favorite Scarlet Pimpernel? (I mean other than the first one). Should I indeed read El Dorado next? I've been wondering! Spindles End is high on my list too, in fact I was considering it before I realized that The Blue Sword was connected to "Hero". Have you read her Beauty? Its my favorite of hers, and my favorite Beauty and the Beast retelling. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!🍀💚

[@MLLatUtube]

@@WaterBearReads I have read Beauty - a great book! I read The Scarlet Pimpernel books in order I know - college was a long time ago so I don't remember a favorite title.

[@sipzandstoriez9546]

The Hero and the Crown is on my TBR this year too! Can't wait to read it now based on your recommendations. I read The Blue Sword first and it was fantastic. Love Robin McKinley!🙂

[@WaterBearReads]

I am really looking forward to reading The Blue Sword! Have you read Beauty? Any other of her works that you would recommend reading next? Thank you for watching and I cannot wait for your next video! You are one of my favorite BookTubers!🥰

[@sipzandstoriez9546]

Yes, Beauty is my favorite Robin McKinley book. Love your videos too! It's so fun to have a friend here on BookTube who shares my taste in children's literature. 😀

[@WaterBearReads]

Agreed! I just saw you have a new video!@@sipzandstoriez9546
