I keep seeing the ministry of time and the cover puts me off, but now I want to read it! The hotel in Florida looked stunning. Working in a public sector job, I get nothing like this 😂 it looked so beautiful at night. I felt exactly the same about Brotherless Night, I had to take a few breaks due to the level of trauma and how it affected my mood. I read a romance afterwards as I needed something light and easy!
I read Ministry of Time on audio. Graham Gore was a real person from history. He was part of the failed Franklin expedition. I’d love to see it made into a film. I’ve been trying to cast it in my mind. Who would play Graham?
Hi. just one issue. I'm sure you know that Jack Nicholson did not write One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest. Please note that somewhere. Thanks You are so smart and pleasant . . .
I have picked All Our Yesterdays by Natalia Ginzburg. The font size was marginal, but the print quality was better than others so it won out. It will be a nice lead into August's WIT month.
This was a great way to catch us up with your summer tbr and also do tbr spin 😊 I'm behind too, I haven't read June's book yet. July for me is Raw Speed by Tai Woffinden (a memoir by a motorcycle racer) - should be fun!! X
Usually, I read my TBR spin book first but this month, I’ve left it until last. Trying to finish it before midnight 😂. July’s book is ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’, which will count toward another challenge that I’m doing. 👍. I loved this video. Gotta love a catch-up
About a year ago I thought about reading all Agatha Christie books in publication order. I've read the first three (all Hercule Poirot) - liked the first and third ones, didn't like the second (Murder on the Links) much at all. I will likely continue, although I'm not in a hurry. So many other things that I'm more anxious to get to at the moment. I agree with the other comment I saw about drop in and out. I personally don't consider this a "series," more like her body of work in general. But of course, it's up to you! :)
I am in the middle of a similar number of series and it still doesn't stop me from starting new ones 😂 I often stall because I worry that I won't remember what happened in the last book, even though they tend to give reminders throughout. I am currently reading the second in the wolf den series, which is absolutely brilliant, so at least I'm making progress there! Would love to see progress updates.
If you like Christie and you're looking for fun, less Detective Detective series, I would read the Miss Marple Series instead. Less books, more silly and fun, more different perspectives. Go for that one.
I love your expression in the thumbnail, like, “This is ridiculous, why am I like this?” 😂 Um, good luck? (I think my issue with continuing series is I have so much I want to read that going back to worlds I already know feels like stalling.)
I would suggest you to read the Poirot books but not in order, cruel but i did that way and i read every year 2-3 Poirots and i'm not burned out. Read first the ones that interest you most
the Poirot mysteries are super fun but you can definitely just drop in and out, order isn’t important. I read them whenever I find them used or in little free libraries but don’t usually seek out any specifically!
I loved this video and now I want to get my colours done too! But for sure I am the type of person that would buy an entirely new wardrobe to match my colours so maybe I shouldn't, to save my wallet.
I loved your review!! Enjoyed it in its entirety. I found it interesting how in several of these reviews I've seen that every reviewer thought Kelly was out of pocket in some parts of the story but I was never bothered by Kelly's character not one time! I don't think he ever said or did anything offensive at all and now I'm starting to wonder if I should have been offended by him! 😂 Really enjoyed this book
What a fun idea. You should consider a red coat for winter. That color looks beautiful on you. BTW-Legends and Lattes is definitely a great autumnal book. It somehow gives brown vibes with the baked goods as a part of the story.
I wasn't a big fan of Jane Eyre either, or Villette. I'm keen to try Anne Brontë next. I'm in the mood for some romances this summer. I also have wuthering heights, assassins apprentice and birnam wood on my physical tbr. I dnf'd chain gang all-stars really early on as I was on holiday and it was so violent, not really a beach read! I think you'll like North Woods.
I love how much crossover we have in our book tastes 😂 I will definitely not be bringing Chain Gang to the beach! Lol I'm mostly reading it now because it's a book club pick 😊
Where did you find that absolutely stunning edition of The Little Friend? I love it. Also I just moved away from my home state of CO, I miss it :( I hope you’re loving it!
I'm obsessed with that cover! It's the Bloomsbury Modern Classics edition which has a lot of gorgeous colors. I'm sorry to hear you moved away! But I hope you're loving wherever you are now 😊
Excellent video!! I would love to hear what you think of at least some of those books. I have read School for Good Mothers, Parable of the Sower and Legends and Lattes and I think those are good choices for you!
I don't want to discourage you, but if you didn't like Jane Eyre, I would be very surprised if you would enjoy Wuthering Heights. There is not a single likeable character in that story and I have absolutely no clue why people say it is also a romance. One must have a very strange POV on relationships to think so imo Also I wouldn't recommend it for summer.
