Loved how you talked about Alphabetic Diaries fitting into your life at that particular in-between time. I'm keen to read it when I can get hold of it. Disobedient bodies also sounds wonderful!

[@SophieIslington]

Oh I hope you enjoy it if you do pick it up!

So happy to have you back on KZbin! I similarly loved the language in Martyr! but felt the twist was unnecessary and not very believable. Regardless it’s still one of my favourites of this year :)

[@SophieIslington]

I totally agree!

[@Sarahsreadingjournal]

Lovely to see you back 😊 I totally agree with your thoughts on Martyr- I was completely loving it at the beginning but towards it started to seem quite unbelievable towards the end!

[@SophieIslington]

Absolutely!!

Each Peach Pear Plum is such a lovely kids book! I don't remember ever reading it as a child but my daughter Oona loves it, and now she's older she gets even more out of it! Have you tried Peepo by the same authors? It's so cute! I've downloaded the audiobook on Spotify of The Age of Magical Overthinking as it was already on my radar and you've inspired me to get to it sooner! I really enjoyed Cultish when I read that, I think last year, so keen to get into her new book!

[@SophieIslington]

Yes!!! I love Peepo too. I actually bought Whit a copy on your recommendation as I'd forgotten about it xx

[@gracetaylor7351]

Thanks for the video Sophie I enjoy listening to this and books you have read ❤

[@SophieIslington]

Thanks so much 😊

The Sheila Heti memoir sounds super interesting! Never heard of it before but it's such a creative concept! I've wanted to read Martyr! for a while now as well, I've only ever heard people say positive things about it 😁

[@SophieIslington]

It's a really cool concept. She's such an inventive writer xx

[@SuperBrieBear]

Hadn't heard about the podcast If Books could Kill. Started listening to it once I finished this video. Enjoying it already. Thanks for the recommendation ❤

[@SophieIslington]

It's so good isn't it?? X

My favourite Janet & Alan Alberg book is Peepo “ here’s a little baby 1,2,3 sits in his high chair What does he see Peepo!”

[@SophieIslington]

Yes!! I have this one too

[@SophieIslington]
