Good to see you again! Wonderful video. I am thrilled my book club will start again next week after a year and a half distancing due to covid.

Thank you and great to hear that your book club will start again! 😊 What did you pick as first read?

[@titiavandeneertwegh3170]

@@leeah8419 A Dutch author named Jeroen Brouwers. The book is titled Het hout (the log/timber). I have read most of his work. He's not a happy camper but I like his ruminations and the pessimism of his characters. It is the opposite of my personality, I guess that's why I like it.

Sounds like a great character focused book. Enjoy your book club meeting! 😊

I hope that you have a wonderful Victober! I have never seen that edition of Lady Audley's Secret, I love it!

[@leeah8419]

Thanks, Victober is always so much fun and it always brings the bookish community together! 😊

Hey, I just wanted to say I'm really glad I found your channel, I like the way you talk about books. I'm curious how you like Dorian Grey, it's one of my favourite books. Also you camera quality is amazing! :)

[@leeah8419]

Hey, thanks! 😊 I have high hopes for The Picture of Dorian Grey. I'll pass your camera quality comment on to my boyfriend. I'm also using lights so it is the combo of both that does it.
