It's always interesting to hear about what people consider summer reads. I LOVE Tin Man! I just did a summery video too, actually, about the books I'm most excited to read soon. Lisa Taddeo's Three Women, Jessie Burton's newest book, and some new poetry collections from Penned in the Margins feature!

I'd totally forgotten about goggle eyes!! I'll have to look it out again! I adore Tin Man, one of my all time faves. Listening to my name is Leon on audible at the moment & I agree Lenny Henry is amazing. I'd like to get to bitter orange as well.

Great recommendations, Jen! Thank you. I haven't read any of these yet, but I have The Accidental in my to-read pile. My favourite for this season is The Summer Book by Tove Janssen. It's sensitive, shimmery, beautiful.

Where i live it's almost winter but i'm still gonna check out Crudo lol. It sounds very interesting!!!

It is a brilliant read, I would also recommend her non fiction work, particularly the Lonely City. Olivia Laing strikes me as a fascinating personality who has so much to offer those of us who have an interest in culture and its origins. Enjoy Crudo

I love Goggle Eyes, that's the edition I had/have, I was a big fan of Anne Fine when I was younger! Although I still read her books now, wish some of the lesser known ones were still in print or rather I wish I'd held onto my own copies.

Did you love the TV adaptation? I can't watch anything with Honeysuckle Weeks or Lesley Manville without remembering it fondly. We still talk about it in my family.

@@dawn307 Yes, whenever I see Honeysuckle Weeks in anything, it just reminds me of Goggle Eyes. I chose the TV tie-in edition on Goodreads instead of the copy I had, so I could have a photo of Honeysuckle Weeks on it instead. Wasn't it on ridiculously late for a children's TV book adaptation?

I loved "The Museum of You"--I read it a couple years ago per your recommendation. Ruth Ozeki is fabulous--I need to read more of her work. I'm reading much more poetry this summer and quite enjoying it!

Ahhh I LOVE Through the Looking Glass. Do you remember the random Disney series where she went through the looking glass every episode?? It was my FAVORITE!

Arcadia has a very special place in my heart. It was the book that led me to booktube. I just picked up a copy of The Accidental at a local thrift shop.

After you chat about Arcadia I immediately went on line and bought it - it sounded so interesting.

I'm so happy you included Virginia Woolf in your list! I associate her diaries with summer, since I spent many hot days reading them on a rather uncomforable park bench near a fountain.

I do need to get around to reading more Virginia Woolf. Also Kerry Hudson, just because. I feel as though we're in the midst of the great British summer. Hopefully, this is just a dark, wet prelude to a particularly wondrous summer filled with heat and days spent languishing in the countryside. If it's not I might sob. I'd probably recommend The Troubles with Goats and Sheep for summer as it's set during the 1976 heatwave, but then I suppose that means also recommending Instructions for a Heatwave by Maggie O'Farrell (still unread) and any of the plethora of books set during that particularly warm season forty-three years ago.

Well here in Santiago/Chile we are in winter and it's a torrentially rainy day so this video comes at a particularly inappropriate time for me haha. The video is still excellent and I loved it though!

Thanks for the recommendations, you just reminded me to try The Age of Miracles since I read The Dreamers recently. I just read a short story collection that I think you'd like called Salt Slow by Julia Armfield. It has a very dark but mythic feel, it uses female bodies to show experiences like puberty, loneliness etc x

Hi Jen, thanks for your video. Have you read 'House of Sand and Fog' by Andre Dubus III? I would highly recommend it. (It was made into a movie starring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connolly, and is also very good).

Read Tin Men last year and enjoyed it immensely and why do have only the arc copy get the one with nice foil cover. And speaking of walks i know its hot. But are you going to treat us to a walking and reading tour. Or kids dressed as Franklin. Either one would be fine im currently waiting for The Crossway by Guy Stagg to become availe on this side of the pond. I really did enjoy your book and had to think about the imagery for a while .
