[@MaryAmongStories]

thank you so much for watching, Leonie 💛🌻

[@fedesbooks]

an hour and twenty minutes video talking about books??? count me in!!

[@MaryAmongStories]

yayyy thank you for watching 🖤✨

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

I can’t cope with your books facing the other way 😂🙈

[@MaryAmongStories]

whoops 🙊🙊

[@calisongbird]

@@MaryAmongStorieswhy do you store your books that way? I’m curious

[@michael031484]

I didn't realize until after I had watched the video and went into the comment section that this was over an hour long. I don't know if it's because you have such a soothing voice or if it's because I like seeing other people's collection of books or what it is but this video did not feel that long to me at all. I was thoroughly entertained.

[@michael031484]

also, I love how many edition of 'alice's adventures in wonderland' you have. that's so fun!

[@MaryAmongStories]

that's very kind of you to say, thank you so much! 🥰

[@Lulu_Reads_Books]

I am so happy I came across your channel. You have such a calm, soothing manner and I love how passionate you are about books and reading. I am really enjoying catching up on your videos. :)

[@MaryAmongStories]

this made me smile so much, thank you 💚

[@learnreadingquranwithhafiz8363]

How your books remain so pristine and clean even if you have read them? Like there is not a single crease on the spine or the cover!!😍😍

[@MaryAmongStories]

aww thank you for saying that! I am pretty careful with them haha

[@sarahsperusals]

[@MishelleLexi]

The fact that the video is feature film length!!! Well I just sat down with my dinner so here we go :)

[@MaryAmongStories]

[@ewelinahernon6556]

I've fallen in love with the Sisterhood edition of Heidi ever since I saw it in one of your videos and yesterday I got it from my husband for our wedding anniversary 💕

[@just_ella17]

All I want in life is a husband that gets me beautiful classics...💭

[@MaryAmongStories]

[@MaryAmongStories]

[@martasgreatlibrary]

[@MaryAmongStories]

[@learnreadingquranwithhafiz8363]

I also cherish classics soooo much. My top 2 are The phantom of the opera and to kill a mockingbird. To kill a mockingbird is just a whole other world😍😍😍 and soooooooo cozy and as snug as a bug on a rug. Anyways this is such an exquisite collection💕💕

[@just_ella17]

I'm always so impressed how different opinions on classics can be I read to kill a mockingbird last year and it's like my least favorite book of all time Happy that you enjoyed it so much more than me 😇

[@MaryAmongStories]

I definitely need to read it, but The Phantom is a favourite too! thank you so much

[@Kim-uj5bv]

Awwww 🙈💕 You have such a beautiful collection and have the best videos! Sending lots of positive vibes your way Mary!

[@MaryAmongStories]

Hi sister Mary!🌻Loved this video as always. Also the covers look so immaculate.📚🤍

[@MaryAmongStories]

thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@mnumcl2]

This is a delightful video and I never gave the length a single thought! Thank you!

[@MaryAmongStories]

aww I'm glad, thank you so much! 🥰💛

[@playsintraffic2]

I'm so excited for this video - although I admit I'm going to watch it in pieces rather than straight through.

[@MaryAmongStories]

haha completely understandable! thank you for watching

[@lamegoldfish6736]

One of my favorites for childrens classics is 'The Yearling' by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. 🦌 It is quite fun to see your incredible library. 😃

[@MaryAmongStories]

ohh I need to check that out! thank you so much ^^

[@MariaAlmeida-np3oi]

Love this video, I have watched it a few times and have picked up a few books that you have recommended.

[@MaryAmongStories]

aw that makes me so happy! thank you for (re)watching it 🥰

[@meltedbooks]

💛💛 you have literally the most beautiful books I've ever seen! I'm really not well read in classics, but my favorites are A Christmas Carol and A Little Princess. And Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier if that counts! That one almost feels too contemporary to be a classic, but I'll throw it in there :)

[@MaryAmongStories]

excellent choices! 💓

[@lena11ophelie9]

I'm doing my thesis about classics and how important it is still now. I'm gonna watch this video and follow you!

[@MaryAmongStories]

aww thank you so much, and good luck with your thesis! such a great topic

[@masinmonica6088]

I understand what you're saying about A Clockwork Orange! It's definitely not easy to get into! But if you listen along to the audiobook and try to push through the first few chapters, you get hold of the language easily! I read it for a bookclub, if not I would have probably DNFed it. I ended up really enjoying it!

[@MaryAmongStories]

I'll try that, thank you!

[@sidra884]

I really enjoyed watching this ❤️.thank u so much for such a lovely video,also loved your collection so much.❤️🥰

[@MaryAmongStories]

aw thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed 🧡

[@just_ella17]

I am currently reading Mrs. Dalloway and while it reads like an absolute fever dream I am tremendously enjoying it. So I would definitely recommend so far (I am about half way through) My favorite classic is probably little women. I've just gotten into reading last year and I still think about it so much. It is just wonderful. Luckily I also recently read and absolutely loved the handmaid's tale though I have to give it some time to decide whether or not it's actually an all time favorite.

[@MaryAmongStories]

Little Women is an excellent choice

[@lilaccottage]

I've just started reading more classics, but I think my favorite will always be Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I read it as a teenager during a really difficult time in my life. The family relationships in that book touched my heart so deeply and gave me hope for a brighter future in spite of adversity. It really changed my life and because of that I think it will always be my top favorite.

[@MaryAmongStories]

that's incredible, I'm glad that book could help you during difficult times

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I can't choose a favourite classic! I have a filmed video waiting to be edited and I found even choosing ten a challenge. I love a christmas carol

[@MaryAmongStories]

I just adore your comments, thank you! 💜

[@ReadwithStefani]

your collection is stunning! :D

[@MaryAmongStories]

thank you!

[@neptunos]

[@assafipoetry]

Favorit classic? Persian Hafez and his amazing, magic gazelles... Hafez behud nipushid in hirkae mae lud, Ei, Sheikhi, pokdoman maghzur dor moro

[@MaryAmongStories]

ohh thank you for the recommendation!

[@nectoDonatello]

Пригласи лечиться хмелем всех певцов любви в Ширазе, Чтоб никто, не зазевавшись, там с отвычки не дал маху Amazing Hafez and his drawning gazelles for Eternal Love. Nothing compare to you

[@assafipoetry]

@@nectoDonatello yes, Bruce. He is Ocean of Only One Truth. Доступен жемчуг должен быть для множества людей, Чтоб перлом редкостным никто подделку не считал. My father wrote 400 gazelles for Honor of Hafez. But only one Word from gazelles of Master better than all them, because of Shah-Nabat 'Ali, karrama Llahu wajhahu

[@nectoDonatello]

@@assafipoetry exactly, bro👍

[@assafipoetry]

@@nectoDonatello oh, Bruce Ты, аскет благочестивый, не отмоешь винных пятен, Хоть в семи котлах бурлящих кипяти свою рубаху Absolutely defeating in eternal battle against ego in poor hope for God Love, which Hafez have taken Я шлю тебе, славный Хафиз, в подарок кафтан и коня, Ты - музыка наших пиров, скорей собирайся в поход! Great

Can you do a video dedicated to Fernando Pessoa? I have his book of disquiet but I’m intimidated by it !

[@MaryAmongStories]

yes, I'd love to talk more about him on the channel! 🥰

[@thisisajourney8956]

I also have Madam Bovary in Portuguese but I couldn’t finish reading it and had to force myself to finishing it with audiobook. I just didn’t like as thought I would.😢
