What This Week #13 ~ Placeholders, introvert solidarity & lots of Booktuber love to share

[@joy_ofbooks]

😘 I’ve passed The Story of a Heart on to my mum for some cheerful, festive reading too! That book will stay with me for a very long time and I would be delighted if it made the Women’s Prize longlist. It deserves a massive readership. Thank you for another fantastic round up of your week.

Haha let’s hope your mum is in our camp of loving a miserable book! Nothing says Christmas like a good sob! ♥️

Exhausted introvert here too 🙋‍♀️ lol I love vlogmas! I really feel like I'm spending the holidays with people through their videos. It becomes part of my routine

Exhausted introverts unite! 😂♥️

I think I'd really enjoy Claire Keegan, I love compression, so thanks for this spotlight. It's a curios title for a Northern Hemisphere book though, isn't it? 'The Story of a Heart': what a cover - wow! I might look for an Advent Calendar for next year, think I'd enjoy this little tradition too, I often feel that something's missing... I love your joy at feeling like 'a real BookTuber now' - a delight to witness. Thanks for another wonderful video, Keri. Hope you have a wonderful year end.

Thank you Phillip! I think you’d really like Claire Keegan. And I can’t recommend a bookish advent calendar enough. I’ve loved opening each parcel and will be very sad not to continue having a book to open every day into January! 😂

@@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing: Yes, I think I'd enjoy the advent Calendar. Right, will search out Claire Keegan. Thanks for the spotlight.

Right, will tune into 'Swan Lake', if it's broadcast in Australia, & cheer on your brother!

[@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing]

You are the absolute kindest!

[@apoetreadstowrite]

@@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing: It will be a hoot. I adore Classical music, so should enjoy ballet also, it will be a new experience.

'Who the f is Andrea?' 😂😂 Very cool about your brother!

[@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing]

Thanks Jen!! I’m just a little proud in case you couldn’t tell! 😂
