S.A. Cosby is a brilliant writer!! I am currently reading all the sinners bleed and loving it. It’s my third book I’m reading from him, I started with Razorblade tears myself 😊
“How We Named the Stars” by Andres N. Ordorica is quite a moving story. I enjoyed it and that’s all I’m saying about it for now. Biscuit is settling in nicely!
Would absolutely love to see you do a SJP imprint reading vlog, really enjoyed ‘A Place for Us’ and would be really interested to hear your thoughts on the other books ❤
Ooh I hadn’t thought about A Place for Us as that, and I think one other, were on her previous publishing house. Hmmmm. I might head to the new one and her books of the year.
If you’re looking for more Australian fiction I recommend Body Friend by Katherine Brabon - set in Melbourne and recommended by a fellow Melbournian here ☺️
Yes! I have that on my radar thanks to the Stella Prize. So pleased to hear you enjoyed it and always lovely getting recommendations of Australian books from Australia.
My last order from WOB included a tatty smelly book described as ‘very good condition’. I contacted them and it was replaced with a decent copy. Not good but ok in the end.
Scrap went straight on my TBR list when I read there's a scrapbooking element to the story. Now, I'm very curious to read it! 😁 Very cool to see a French-Canadian author (Catherine Leroux) on your list. I will also check out Canada Reads - thanks for sharing about this!
Loved The Girl With The Louding Voice, thanks for the tip on the new one. I needed some comic relief, so back to Serge and Coleman in Florida, Tim Dorsey's Tropic of Stupid.
Simon so glad you have razorblade tears. Start with that one I think it's the one he's most known for. Has biscuit met your other cats yet. I've also just got a new rescue cat who is ginger to how are you finding him. Wasn't sure how you got your other cats. Love the cat content too
Really it seems the latest one has had absolute raves and raves across the board. Biscuit is doing really well. He’s very, very affectionate. Quite chill. Him and Oscar seem fine. I think him and Mildred may take a little longer. Ha. Mildred and Oscar are both rescues too. Though Oscar was 3 months old and Mildred was 5 months a few months later.
What a haul!! I am so eager to read the new David Nicholls novel! It sounds brilliant. Your library is a bit of a mess but for all the best reasons! I love how at home Biscuit has made himself!!!
Razorblade Tears was my first SA Cosby was very good. I read his latest book All Sinners Bleed liked the book but deals with hard topics. I would check content warnings first. I've also pick up two novels on his backlist.
I can deal with hard topics, lol. A Little Life is one of my favourite books and I recently read In Defence of the Act on the Women’s Prize which has A LOT of difficult and uncomfortable content of all kinds.
Totally agree on the spoilers, wether it be plot or level of enjoyment! Let me have my own experience and opinion first please ^^ Loved this haul, so many exciting books to choose from. And I am LONGING for an organize all that mess-video. Whenever, but you know. ASAP. The messier of a video the better.
Haha. I do those sorting the shelves videos on Patreon now (gotta pay the mortgage somehow hahaha) and a big, big, big sort is due. I don’t mind if people tell me they loved a book, without spoilers, that’s lovely - the other opinions, not so much till I’ve read the book myself.
@@SavidgeReads Good to know, might be where I’m headed then 😊 Oh of course, a rec is great! Then go pet a cat or something. Unless it’s in a video and then I can just skip that part ^^
Sounds like you need a book sleeve! I also hate when my books get battered in my bag, and a books sleeve has saved me so many heartbreaks!!! So many small shops handmake them so you can get any pattern that excites you.
Enjoy TOWARD ETERNITY!!! I read THE MINISTRY OF TIME for a co-interview with Kaliane and it's pretty cool how our books kinda intersect, we both have an almost identical line even, what are the odds?
“Naughty sausage” *snork* Naheed Nenshi was the mayor of my city, and we miss him. It was lovely to see him. I laughed when he said his family used to own a motel and he was finding the bell triggering. It was a great season of Canada Reads. Loving the Biscuit content :-)
I love your channel but you can't read all those books in a month so it's just hoarding. I do understand the books you want to buy and what others give you. I'd like to know how many of each monthly hauls and how many you actually read
Is it hoarding or is it collecting books for my reading life. I don’t think you need to buy books just to be read in the next month or the next year even. Some people may and that’s grand, I don’t, each to their own right? 😉
So many new books for me to jot down here! What a fabulous haul month! Chuckling at how you talk about having scones with SJP cos it's literally how I talk about you. Pahaha! I do also have Graham Norton and Jane McDonald on the list. Could be quite a crew.
@@SavidgeReads hahahaha I'd just said to Luke 'Omg, maybe I'll get to have a natter with SIMON SAVIDGE' and his response was 'where's the video you promised him though' 😆
The cover of Housemates looked stunning against your library backdrop. It’s the little things. 🩷🩵💚 (Edited)…Ooh, same with The Quitters Paradise. I’m sure SJP planned it that way. 🩷🩵💚 “Le Bisquoit” 🤣 🐈♥️
