New subscriber 🙋🏼♀️ I'm an avid reader but never really looked at illustrated books,it's a new interest and now I want all those Arianna Bellucci illustrated classics 🤭 The awesomely Austen series illustrated by Égelantine Ceulemans is my first attempt at collecting illustrated books,I just need 'Emma' and then I have them all. 😊📚📚📚
Oh I also LOVE the awesomely Austen series! I showed my Persuasion off in my Jane Austen July video with my other illustrated Jane Austen's! I want to collect more of them. What type of books do you normally read? Thank you so much for watching my video, and especially for commenting!!! I really appreciate it!!🥰
I'm a big fan of the classics,Jane Austen is my favorite writer,but also the Brontës,Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell. I'm also an Elvis fan and I love to read about him. Georgette Heyer is also a favorite,Agatha Christie,Philippa Gregory,oh and the Stephanie Plum bounty hunter series by Janet Evanovich...sorry,I can go on and on. Reading is my favorite hobby 😊 I ordered the Wuthering Heights from Sweet Cherry Publishing today! And that Jane Eyre folio is on my wishlist. Jane Eyre is my second favorite book ever 😊
Ooh, heather! This was a dangerous video for me. I wrote down one title then another then another until my pen ran out of ink. 🖋🖋🖋 I absolutely want to do some sort of tag or read-along or discussion of a fairytale/folk tale in 2024. Would love to know your thoughts about that or let me know if you'd ever be interested in a conversation of some sort. I hadn't heard of some of these illustrators or editions. Must get The Selfish Giant-- so beautiful! Tam Lin is a favorite and your observation of the similarities with Jane and Mr. Rochester are so archetypal and wonderful! What a cozy way to start a rainy day. Thank you!
Hi Celeste! Yes I love that idea! I love reading fairytales in the winter and was already thinking about videos involving illustrated fairytales. I did (what I call on my website etc) an "Illustrator Explore" on Beauty and the Beast last winter and I have another fairy tale themed "illustrator explore" that I am planning to get out in February at latest. What do you have in mind? I'll put some thought into it....thank you so much for watching! I am glad that you found some new titles of interest from this video!!! Have a lovely weekend! The rain is coming our way tomorrow...was just out in the garden getting all my spring bulbs in as its already late in the season! Looking forward to your next video!🍂
@@WaterBearReads I’m just seeing this now! I’m not sure…maybe a tag, a chat, a show and tell of your favorite fairy tale, or something completely different. Let’s think about it and let me know if you have any ideas for something!
