Nooooooo Lillian! Your channel is growing ever more dangerous for me - my TBR list is so long, but dang, so many of these sound intriguing! I've read and really enjoyed most of the Dillard, Solnit, and Sontag books. I'll be eager to hear your reviews! The Ehrenreich and Cameron books have been in my queue for a long time too. Heading over to my library app stat to add more of these to my list! 🙈

OMG, Lillian - i don't know where to start - all of these sound fascinating! You're getting dangerously close to breaking your own rule about no hour-long book hauls, which I'm sure many of us would watch without hesitation. 😁 I look forward to your reviews and thoughts about all these books and I look forward to your upcoming stress-induced fiction haul. 😄 I'm certainly "guilty" of my own stress-induced book buying binges and your wonderful book hauls don't make resisting a good stress-induced book buying binge any easier...😆

thriftbooks is proving to be a more and more dangerous place - may have placed a sneaky little order this afternoon because I (bought so many other books that) I had a free book credit :3c aaand a few other books may have jumped into my basket....

LOL, you go, Lillian! 😆😆😆 Of course, you're making things all the more difficult and dangerous for the rest of us because after we listen to you talk about them, we'll likely be adding whatever you bought to our own TBRs...a very nice problem to have! 😄

Regarding the last book in your haul, Oracles... In case you were wondering, that stunning cover is a painting called The Priestess of Delphi by John Collier. The pic on your screen cut off the bottom of it, which doesn't show the fissure in the earth beneath her feet through which vapours are seeping. It's worth looking at the painting in its entirety. About 20 years ago I had a card print of it on my wall, and a narrow book-sized tote-style bag with that painting on the outside. The "you might like these books because you bought this book" sections are so dangerous! But no regrets, right? I love a genre that straddles essays and memoir and nature writing, so when I fall down one of those rabbit holes, I feel like I've struck gold. I haven't read any of Annie Dillard's work yet. I first heard about her when I read Women Writing Wild last year (that book itself has put so many other books/writers on my wish-list). I'd be interested to see you document your journey through The Artist's Way. The Art of the Personal Essay is a chunky enough brick that can hold the door closed (the door that is hinged while your book haul is not) while you ultimately take a stress-nap on top of your very tall stack of books that is conveniently chin-height. 😅💚💚

I'll definitely have to look into getting a print of the John Collier painting - it's so gorgeous!! A very dangerous section indeed, I've told myself that I'm not allowed to idly browse thriftbooks.com on my lunch breaks, it leads to bookshelf space woes. Honestly, I'm running out of room for new books - might as well start building a bed with them XD

I read Gay New York many years ago in a graduate seminar. From what I remember, it's very good and a pioneer study of the topic.

I'm so interested in reading Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy by Barbara Ehrenreich and Oracles: A Pilgrimage by Catheryn M, Valente. I love your videos you have such a calming vibe. 💛
