I dearly love this Vlog. What A Beautiful Library - Beautiful Scenery - Beautiful Country. I have always wanted to live in England in Wales. I give anything if my town had a Library that size and had Sleep Overs as well too for people who wants to do that. Looks like you and your friend had a beautiful trip except for the Rain and the Rental Car Problems. I would love to go visit England especially London and Wales and spend a few nights at Gladstone Library. I dearly love this Library. Enjoy your Books - Have A Great Reading Weekend - Week. Here in the U. S. We are celebrating Memorial Day Weekend. Memorial Day is on Monday of this coming Monday. Everybody that works gets a 4 Day Long Weekend including Monday Off. I am going to be Reading this entire Memorial Day Weekend. I am reading Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I am also Reading War And Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I am reading both of these on my Kindle Tablet. Happy Reading 📖📚

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the long weekend Linda. We have a 3 day weekend in the UK too so I'm hoping to get more reading done.

Gladstone's Library looks absolutely wonderful! I am so happy you got to spend some time there. And your fox shirt!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks!

[@alldbooks9165]

What an amazing vacation!

[@mousepudding]

This was very relaxing to watch, despite hearing about your troubles in Liverpool. Am coveting your t-shirt collection though. :-) First Kate Bush and now the awesome fox?! I am a fox fan myself. When I lived in Boulder, CO some years ago, I had the rare privilege of having a fox raise her young under the garden shed in the backyard. Watching 4 rather fearless fox kits play together on the grass while I stood about 10 feet away was just about the cutest thing in the entire world.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Ha - thanks! I love a good t-shirt. OMG, that does sound like the cutest thing ever. I used to live in a London apartment with a back garden. Every morning when I drew back the curtains a fox would be curled up asleep and now I miss him.

Really looking forward to reading Tin Man!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

It's really special! I'll talk about it more in my next reading wrap up.

[@treebranch2066]

That was a great vlog. I really got a feel for how grand the library is. I could definitely see myself getting a lot of reading done if I was there!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you! It's a great place to get lost in. :)

I had already fell in love with Gladstone's Library when I saw it in Simon's vlog. It would be a perfect weekend for me! I have a feeling that you're a perfectionist, Eric, because every image in this vlog is simply marvellous and the music really suits the scenery. And do you mean that 80's movie, "Roger, Roger"? So stupid and hilarious!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks! Yes, it is beautifully stupid and hilarious and endlessly quotable: "Surely, you can't be serious?... I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

Great video. I loved it.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks Patrice!

[@butterflyhome50]

As a 13yr old who loves to read and because my mum loves to read we might be going !!!! :)

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Great! Hope you enjoy it.

[@BiblioAtlas]

Great vlog! The shots and tunes are fabulous. My 1st thought was was, why is he bringing a stack of books to the library? Then I saw your personal travel library. I do the same thing. Never leave home without a book, and sometimes come home with 2!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks! Yes, I realized when I got there how daft it seems to bring lots of books to a library but I have so many on my TBR pile that I wanted to get to some of them first. :) And it's true you should never leave home without a book!

[@BiblioAtlas]

Reading in a library is super cozy. And your portable library looks so pretty all stacked neatly on that desk. So you're completely excused ^.^

[@donlevy8960]

A library that is also a hotel? I would never leave, lol. It's always hard to figure out what to read when I travel.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

I know, it's a dream situation! No room service available, but it's not too much of a chore to haul down to the breakfast room. :)

[@putusita9052]

Love this video so much! Gladstone Library is such a beauty. Hope you don't mind me sharing this video on my facebook? Thanks. :)

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you! And of course I don't mind. :)

[@putusita9052]

Thanks. Please take us more to those gorgeous libraries and bookstores in your country. :)
