Facts 💯💙

[@kategriffiths9777]

I'm trying to read all of Patricia Highsmith's books but haven't got to 'Deep Water' or 'A Suspension of Mercy', although I'm excited to. I've just read Carol at Christmas and absolutely loved it, but my favourite by her, that I've read so far is 'Ripley Under Ground' (the second book in the Ripley series). Thank you, this was such a fun vlog to watch.

[@wendycayless]

I have Pet out of the library atm and have just added the Patricia Highsmith to my TBR as it sounds like something I would enjoy

[@kathy2539]

I hope your well Jen, I enjoy just watching your vlogs and hearing how your doing in life and reading, you don't need to worry about the amount of real-time your producing, for us it's simply moments, though I can see that the real time factor might have more implications for yourself. ☺ 🧚 💐

[@HollyDunnDesign]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying Pet! You’re in for a wild ride in the second half 😂

[@jenvcampbell]

oh good 😅 x

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

I don't mind large casts in (thriller) books as long as they give you a character list. I find that helps me make sense of what's going on, and also makes the book more immersive.

[@jenvcampbell]

No character list here, which is why I had to make my own, but doing so made me feel like I was actively participating in the investigation, so that’s ok 😂 x

[@TamaraLooney]

I’m laughing so much about how close the Instagram poll was. As always thanks so much for your thoughts about books. I can’t wait to finally get to A Suspension of Mercy, and I’m intrigued by Pet!

[@jenvcampbell]

☺️♥️

[@lucygoosey2121]

congrats on 70k Jen! 🥳

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you x

[@spreegrl98]

Jen, happy belated birthday!

[@jenvcampbell]

It was the winner of The International Booker, but I haven't read it yet myself: Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov x

[@betsybarker7201]

Enjoyed this video...will get Pet, and the Patricia Highsmith too.........Thanks as ever for sharing with us all. xx

[@jenvcampbell]

Thanks, Betsy x

[@kathleenwalsh3556]

Hi Jen do hope your birthday was memorable. Re Chidgey: you might like her 'Axeman's Carnival' which also sells well here in NZ. V much enjoyed reading 'Persuasion'. Do u think Louisa contracted a brain injury?

[@CarinaZacharias]

Congrats for 70.000 subs! 🎉❤

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you ☺️ x

[@rudy679]

I loved 'Suspension of Mercy'. I'm glad you liked it. Try 'The Sweet Sickness' next if you haven't read it yet. It is also very good.

[@charlottemolloy]

I don't know if I've missed a video where you've spoken on this already but argh omg you're pregnant!?!! 🎉🎉🎉 So, so pleased for you after years of hearing you touch on this topic and your personal experience health wise. Wishing you all the best with what's to come 💕

[@AnnNovella]

I really loved Strange Sally Diamond. 😊

[@jenvcampbell]

I prefer to read Own Voices neurodivergent books x

[@alib8186]

Thanks for a great video Jen! I love your crime recommendations. You got me into Nicci French - and I don’t think anyone will ever beat the Freida Klein series. Wishing you lots and lots of luck on the upcoming birth of your bairn (I’m from Newcastle) xx

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you xx

[@debjohn4]

Thank you for the video. Take care of yourself and that little one inside.

[@jenvcampbell]

❤️

[@jessicahingley7060]

Just searched for Cut to the Bone on Audible and was confused to find another book with the same name, eerily similar blurb but seemingly different author! Published a few years later. Wondering if this is an unfortunate coincidence or some sort of strange publishing trick involving a big edit and a pseudonym. Wishing you all the very best for your next exciting life chapter ❤

[@mradcaqbdb]

Just picked up A Suspension of Mercy based on your comments. I loved the cover of the copy you read, but out of curiosity, I checked out the US cover. Oy! Massive fail again! 😂😂😂 I’ve got the new Nicci French on hold at the library. It’s not out here yet, but I’m number 15 on the hold list already!

[@jenvcampbell]

They're certainly popular! x

[@ghanshyamsingh3653]

I wanna try Pet for sure! Thanks for the video Jen...wish you good health 💙👍💙

[@jenvcampbell]

Thank you x

[@lisagfarrow]

Hi Jen. I believe Rose Ayling-Ellis has been cast to play the lead detective from the Will Dean books 👍

[@jenvcampbell]

I didn’t know they were adapting them! Thanks for the info ☺️. x

[@zetalingua]

I haven’t read any of them but they all sound great. I read The Unheard last month and enjoyed it until the resolution, which I found far fetched… On the hunt for another great thrills now!

[@jenvcampbell]

My favourite standalones of theirs are The Red Room and Losing You, but the audiobooks of the Frieda Klein series are my absolute favourites by them x

[@jacquelinemcmenamin8204]

Love Will Dean! 😍& Joseph Knox 🤩

[@jenvcampbell]

Good to know!

[@chiming_]

Thanks for making this video. I have two Patricia Highsmiths unread on my shelf (well, I mean my Kindle as I have mo more space for physical books, very sadly) and I still bought the one you mentioned in the video 🫣. I think i was encouraged by you to exploring new (new to me) crime/thriller novels/authors. Looking forward to your thoughts on A Crack in the Wall. As always, I know i will watch this video a few times as I could get more out of it each time I rewatch it. Wish you a great week ahead.

[@jenvcampbell]

I did actually start A Crack in the Wall during this video (though forgot to mention that!) and wasn't immediately pulled in, however it was when I wasn't feeling so good so I'll try it again in the future. It was giving more 'Thursday Night Widows' (which I really didn't like) rather than All Yours (which I loved), so we'll see if I change my mind when I next pick it up. x

[@KierTheScrivener]

The Patricia Highsmith novel sounds really good.

[@jenvcampbell]

It was fun! x

[@tirarosaurioreads]

Loved this video! I have been wanting to read "Pet" for a while and this video was the kind push I needed :)

[@jenvcampbell]

I hope you love it, too. x

[@rhyst124]

I recommend *The Glass Woman* by Alice McIlroy & *Red Queen* by Juan Gomez-Jurado

[@Donna-vg2vo]

I really enjoyed the book Pet. Would like to try more from that author.

[@jenvcampbell]

☺

[@karenmoore4430]

I am going to read Pet this month. Thanks Jenxx

[@jenvcampbell]

I hope you love it! (And I hope I love the second half 😂) x

[@carmenvaldebenito5197]

I don't know if Betty Boo by Claudia Piñeiro has already been translated into English, but if it has, I recommend you look for it, as it is one of the police stories by her that I enjoyed the most. Thanks for all the recommendations.

[@jenvcampbell]

It has been translated; I might check that one out in the future ☺️ x

[@EvieM1]

I haven’t read any Patricia Highsmith yet and need to sort that out. Glad you’re doing okay. ❤

[@jenvcampbell]

So many books, so little time! x

[@karenmiddlebrook5069]

I struggle with too many characters, but I think it isnt helped by me also having lots of books on the go at the same time. Helps that the Nicci French is a page turner. Thanks for the tip about making your own character list.

[@jenvcampbell]

Page turners definitely help with that ☺ x

[@nicolastawiarski7958]

Great video, Jen. I’ve had Pet on my radar for a while but now I’m definitely going to buy it! 🥰

[@jenvcampbell]

I finished it last night so, just to confirm, I loved the whole thing ☺️ x

[@abbypage4722]

Uh oh... I'm a middle school teacher who is about to get a pet axolotl for class....

[@jenvcampbell]

👀!

[@skyz296]

No sound ?

Sound’s working fine for me. Refresh the page? x
