“The first thing I do when I have any good news, or bad news, or no news really, is to buy books” 😂 I love this.

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

It is a problem 😂 That can be solved with books…

I love getting to know you in these videos. Congrats on this promotion! Are you enjoying the position? I love the tours at the end--thanks for putting us in your pocket and taking us along. 📚

“It would be rude not to buy as many as I can take home.” 😂 Same.

You know what they say " If you like something, get it in every color or size" hahahaha

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Exactly! It’s great logic

I love second hand books and book hauls. 📚🤩😍🥰😘👜 Congratulations on your promotion.

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Thank you! I buy the majority of my books second hand so it’s just insane that this is my first proper second hand book haul 📚

@gillwoolley6515 Год назад

Thank you Claire. As an older subscriber, I can remember reading Lorna Doone in my teens,it was a popular classic then. I very much enjoyed it I haven't read it since,so it would be interesting to read again. I can't believe that I only recently discovered Elizabeth Jane Howard. I've just finished the light years and fell in love with it. Will be on to book 2 soon. Catherine Cookson was also a staple of my younger years.📚👜❤

Lorna Doone was my favorite movie as a kid. Never read the book but maybe I should check it out. 👍🏻

@GinaStanyerBooks Год назад

Congratulations on the promotion! I agree with all the people who have said you’ll love Barchester Towers! (And I felt the same way as you about the Warden.) Dissolution is so interesting and gritty. I loved it. Those bags are beautiful.

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Thank you Gina! So good to hear you enjoyed Barchester Towers - it’s moving up my TBR pile as I type. Just re-reading Bring up the Bodies so very much in a Cromwell mood at the moment so I think I’ll read Dissolution next!

@FusionStudioUK Год назад

I read Lorna Doone when I was about 14. I've been thinking of rereading it for a while. Maybe now is the time.

@Novaturient_Liv Год назад

Congratulations on your promotion! 🎉 Barchester Towers was my sleeper hit of Q1 of 2023. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts!

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Thank you! This is brilliant news - sleeper hits are always the best

I love a book haul! Thanks for sharing. 📚

@MJ-in-Canada Год назад

I finally subscribed after lurking for months. I enjoy your bookshop tours and book chats. And cats!

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Thank you so much! It really means a lot 🥰

@Fortheloveofclassics Год назад

I can’t wait to visit that bookshop in Mordon! A pound a book? Yes, please! Lorna Doone is on my TBR as well, I can’t wait for your review. I see no one talking about it. Love watching your videos ❤ 👜

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

It’s an absolute dream so I hope you visit it!

@____wicked.witch.of.the.words_ Год назад

Lorna Doon was a beautiful surprise to me. I actually read it last year after years of just looking at it on my shelves. I have the black wordsworth edition. It was a treat. ❤ 📚

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

This makes me really excited to finish reading it! I put it down to re-read Jane Austen but I must go back to it 📚

@Lynn_Ann_Jackson Год назад

Congratulations on your promotion, Claire!🥂💐 I’m so excited to check out the books you have recently purchased; each one looks so interesting, and the new bags you purchased are beautiful. I went to the website and they have a great selection of different styles and colors. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and, along with the sunshine this morning, thank you for starting mine out so perfectly.👜📚📖❤️

@DianeC1975 Год назад

Enjoyed the vlog. Congratulations on your promotion. 📚👜💕

@debbiemcdonnell7882 Год назад

I loved Catherine Cookson books. My Mum read them in the 80s and teenage me would pinch them 😊 I recently ordered myself a few from eBay in a fit of nostalgia.

@janiceallan2981 Год назад

Lovely video. Thank you. Congratulations! 👜 xx

@novelideea Год назад

Congratulations on the promotion! I really enjoyed Lorna Doone! It’s beautifully written! I still don’t get along with Trollope. I’ve tried.

@katiejlumsden Год назад

I think you’ll like Trollope, too. Enjoy Barchester Towers!

@circleofleaves2676 Год назад

I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It was very immersive.

@pppppp0124 Год назад

You are such a fashion icon for me that you just made me order two barrel bags in different colours from Zatchels! The customer service was wonderful as you said🥰 Thank you for your video!

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

I love that!! Definitely share a picture so I can see 💼 I may have bought a few more since this video…

@BookishTexan Год назад

I think you will love Barchester Towers. I will be interested in seeing your reaction to Death Comes to Pemberly Congratulations on the promotion.

@timtreadwell54 Год назад

You are totally amazing X

@lisainbookland Год назад

Big congrats on the promotion Claire! What lovely bags, I bought a new bag myself recently and honestly its worth spending the extra money on something you really love that will last. You will love Dissolution. And Catherine Cookson - I’ve had 2 of my books on my shelves for the longest time, I was probably too young for them when I was originally gifted them; you’ve inspired me to give them a try sometime 😊

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Thank you so much Lisa! Catherine Cookson is such a guilty pleasure for me so I hope you enjoy ❤️

@adrienne4028 Год назад

Your purses look sturdy but very stylish also. 👜 The red ones are my favorite. 😀

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

So sturdy! I’m obsessed.

@hannahvictoriau Год назад

You’ve really taken me back to seeing all the Catherine Cookson’s on my Grandma’s shelves! And yes I am Northern ☺️💼

@KindaSassy1 Год назад

You weren't even born when Charles married Diana..... *sigh* I was in primary school and I can remember vividly the radio station playing "Charlies getting married at last" over and over (it was a real song) and singing it to myself as I walked to school. I can remember staying up all night to watch the wedding and thinking Diana was a beautiful fairy princess. I'm so excited that you get to relive the moment so to speak, but it was a living piece of history for me. I think the book was well worth the pound! And talking of all things wedding related..... is that an upgraded engagement ring I spy on the tiny little hand of yours?

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

I was a toddler when she died 😅 Re. My ring: Yes, Ben surprised me with a ring (the type/style we originally planned on getting - long story 😅) for our anniversary but I just wear it on special occasions ❤️

@davidmccalip5759 Год назад

Hi Claire! I hope all is well with you. I really enjoyed your video. Last year I was in the UK in Great Malvern for a friend's wedding in the Priory. While there, I discovered an excellent book shop called The Malvern Bookshop. Have you ever been there? One of the many books I purchased there and brought back to Minnesota was Lorna Doone in hardback for 3 pounds. I have not yet had a chance to read it due to other books I am reading, which currently is The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson that I also purchased in The Malvern Bookshop, but I do plan to read it. Have a great day! 📚

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

Thank you for watching David! I have - I’m from the midlands so I have so many childhood memories of the Malvern Hills. Such a beautiful part of the country!

Great book haul! I also love the look of the bags, it’s a shame they are made of real leather 😢

@Claire_Fenby Год назад

As a meat eater, it would be hypocritical for me not to use all the by products ❤️ The good thing is they will last forever unlike some alternative materials so little waste
