WEEKLY UPDATE : A NEW ALL-TIME FAVORITE! 

So glad you are enjoying Karen Witemeyer. She's quickly become one of my favourite authors.

I loved the variety in everything you read! I wrote down several titles for future reading. So glad that you loved Uncle Silas! It really is a hidden gem. The ending of it is absolutely thrilling.

Hi Mitzi, yes we want a book review! Now I have to read Uncle Silas! For Victober I already read Frankenstein and enjoyed it, and I also finished The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte and loved it. I think I liked it as well or maybe more than Jane Eyre! It was great. Now I started Dr. Thorne by Trollope, the one after the one you are on. Thank you so much for the new (old) books to look for! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Yay Barchester Towers. I'm getting close to the end of Doctor Thorne. I'm really liking it! I love The Warden and BT tho.

This was a great way to start out my Saturday morning. I love reading like you because of the variety of your reading. I remember when you would do monthly favorites videos. I loved those.

The "y'all" thing made me smile knowingly. We (in Newfoundland) get all sorts of language things like that, too. Interestingly, there are some similarities between your English and ours. We don't say "y'all", but "bless her heart (among other things)" is a common phrase.

I loved Kira Kira!

Saturday is a great day for your weekly reads video. I really enjoyed it this morning and added several books to my tbr. Yes, please do a whole video on Uncle Silas! It sounds like a great book. Have a nice weekend!

I love your weekly wrap-ups!📚. Out to Pasture sounds so fun and the others in that series! You’ve sold me on Uncle Silas, sounds so good… more great books for my tbr😄

I like the weekly review! I've not read any of the books you have read so far this month, but I do love Karen Witemeyer also.

So glad you loved Out to Pasture! You brought up points about Kira-kira that I hadnt thought about. The main thing that stuck with me were the horrific working conditions at the chicken plant. Great wrap-up!

I finished Udolpho early, so I started Uncle Silas today because you liked it so much. It’ll be another one to mark of my gothic list. It is hard to put down! It’s more suspenseful to me than Udolpho. That religion kind of sounds like New Thought and Occult…now that I think of it, this sounds like Bethel after looking it up. I’m to the chapter where she first meets Uncle Silas. Sick in bed today and this is helping me detach my mind from pain. Thanks for your review.

I have been very lax about Victober this year! Maybe Uncle Silas is just what I need. Also, I read Out to Pasture years ago and loved it. I believe there is another book too that is really good.

❤📚📚❤️ I added Uncle Silas to my Goodreads. Thanks for the review! Today is our thrifting/library store day. I saw Out to Pasture last Saturday and am hoping it's still there!!

I've seen several people talk about Uncle Silas this week. I guess that is a sign to add it to my TBR!

I put the one about the nursing home on my TBR. Can’t wait. I also put Uncle Silas on there but I’m not sure about that one. Would you say it’s accessible? I don’t care for books heavy on prose. If the author can provide atmosphere without long paragraphs I’m for it. I like that it is in first person.

We definitely want a review!!! You could just time stamp (it is super easy, you need to write the time in the description and RU-vid will do the rest) or announce: from now on it comes to the spoilers, and everything will be fine. About that Kira Kira, I also dislike when authors don't do research and fall into stereotypes in language or customs. Regarding the day from the new videos, I think that Monday or Tuesday could be a great option since most RU-vidrs upload on weekends it is like so many things to watch!!! and then the rest of the week nothing 🤷‍♀

Uncle Silas is going on my tbr!😊sounds amazing!!

You had a great reading week. I am totally with you about your thoughts about taking the Lords name in vane in books - it is a big no no for me. Out to Pasture sounds a great fun read. I have an Anthony Trollope on my bookshelf but haven't picked it up yet. The Karen Witemeyer sounds beautiful, I have never heard of this author. Yeah, another Jane Eyre lover. Finished reading The Cinnamon Bub Book Store by Laurie Gilmore this afternoon. Quite spicy but did enjoy the book. Going to start reading Wrapped up in Christmas Love by Janice Lynn this evening - have read 2 out of the 4 books in the series and loved them.

My son and I are reading The Wild Robot together. It is such a beautiful story. Ive also recently finished Gordon Korman's Faker. Excellent middle-grade book and possibly my new favorite by him.

I have read Madam Crowls ghost, its a collection of short stories by Le Fanu, really good spooky read! I also have his wyvern mystery to get to and I discovered that I also have Uncle Silas 😅. Please do the Uncle Silas review! It would be great to compare notes.

Hi Mitzi. There is a fab film adaptation of Uncle Silas that was filmed in Ireland. It is excellent.

Hi Mitzi, I recently purchased Out to Pasture and plan on reading it in December and currently reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.Have you read any of her books?

Okay so you got me curious about Uncle Silas, maybe next month if I get a chance lol. Also curious about Karen Whitmore. If you don't want it to be called Weekly Updates as it isn't just books from that week maybe just Reading Update. 😃

I think anytime 7 days are included in a week is fine. Maybe post it just as a 7 day wrap up😊

I’m also very offended when the Lord’s name is taken in vain!! I have given away a lot of books and quit reading many this year that did that. I’m from Tennessee and my mom is from the Deep South up in the Appalachian mountains. I also am really picky about Southern colloquialisms being used in the right context!! Loved this video!!

What is your highest level of education? You could definitely have a phd by now, with all the reading and reviewing.

Mitzi Gaynor recently died at the age of 92 or maybe it was 93. Were you named after her???? Love her in South Pacific!

Saturday is A great day for your weekly reviews. Saturday's are ALWAYS boring for me, I love your channel, so that would be great!😊 I CANNOT believe Caldecott Medal book would have The LORD'S name taken in vain!!!😑😑 I hate when that is in a book. I don't like filthy, foul language in bks either. It doesn't enhance anything, just shows the writer's ignorance I have a copy of Kiera, Kiera I bought at a used book sale because it WAS a Caldecott Medal bk. Haven't read it yet, but think I will trash it. Doesn't sound like a good story. I want to read Uncle Silas! Never heard of it. I am presently finishing up Jane Eyre (about 100 pgs. left). This is A re-read from h.s. I did not appreciate it then I have been devouring it. I have SO MANY flags and markings, specifically so that I can go back and read certain portions again and again; like you mentioned. I don't know when I will get to Uncle Silas, but would like a book review. I already have books picked out for November. Then again...😊 Thank you Mitzi!! Have a Blessed Lord's Day, and Bless Your Heart! HA! 🤗
