🎃 🍁 hi Simon 👋🏻 sorry you’ve been poorly & hope you’re over ‘it’ soon 🤞 hope the new job and studying are going enjoyably well. I want to read The Fraud; I really enjoyed On Beauty, liked N.W. & for some reason when I read White Teeth got distracted towards the end 🙈 (may return to it one day!) Yesterday (while in a local indie b’shop), I treated myself to the new Claire Keegan (So Late in the Day) & The Complete Poems of Walt Whitman, plus a cup of hot choc 😌 On the b’shop counter was displayed a lovely paperback copy of Demon Copperhead with aqua blue/turquoise coloured page ends. Wow! (I already have a copy so resisted, but I held it for a bit)! I’m currently reading a library copy of If I Survive You (👍) & also have on loan Prophet Song (I’ve requested the other Booker shortlisted titles). Already read Western Lane which I liked but it’s not a winner imho 😬 TC & happy reading xx

Just finished North Woods by Daniel Mason, definitely autumnal ,slightly supernatural vibes. I wasn't sure about it at first but as the chapters went by they built a wonderful history of the land, house and the people connected and it ended as one of my favourites of this year.

Simon, you have the dream book collection and library. I could adopt you just for your books.😍❤️📚I have bought loads of books because of your recommendations. Some I have had to buy from the UK. When my husband sees the receipts I always say, “Simon made me do it. It is his fault!” 😂😂 The book, “If An Egyptian Could Speak English,” sounds fantastic. I just bought Lauren Goff’s book and Emma Donahue’s new book. I am reading the second book in C. J. Samson’s Shardlake series. I am really loving it. It is better than the first book. I hope school is going well.

Hi, Simon, lovely to see you again! You do have a colourful reading list for this autumn :) I've been saving 'Our Share of the Night' for this autumn, hope to start it next week. 'Mexican Gothic' is the only book from your list that I have read, I still remember it quite vividly - very atmospheric, not too scary, and the author weaves reality with nightmares together so convincingly that it's not only Noemi who can't understand where one ends and the other one starts. And I love that cover too much! After all this time (two years? ah, no, it's three already, just checked 😄) - every time I see it, I'm like - why is it so pretty? Good luck with your new projects, studies and all! 🍂🍄

@@SavidgeReads I would recommend Fall Of Giants. Huge multi-generational story set at the time of WW1 & the Russian Revolution.

🍂 I read Beauty by Zadie Smith last February and found it poignant. Looking forward to your thoughts on The Fraud

It’s a huge hit with many, On Beauty. My mum loved it. I just found it really dull. I don’t love books about academics though so that could have been part of it.

Hi a great load recommendations as always, thank you. Can you tell me what the bonus prompt is for 23, i can’t find the prompts on story graph on the 2022 ones. Thank you, it could be me being stupid!! 🦔🍁i have all the other prompts from watching your video earlier in the year but don’t seem to have written down the bonus one!!

We didn’t do it in 2022 so that one won’t be findable (if that’s a word) the bonus one for 2023 (which should be findable) is a book about a mother and son.

Thank you for letting me know, don’t how I missed the bonus one, but I’ll add it to my list of prompts. Enjoying doing them each month as it gives me a focus at least each month on what’s on my shelf rather than buying more books, which lets be honest I’m still going to buy more books 📚 😊
