Hope you had the most gorgeous time, looks like it was lovely! Adore how many of these have such delightful illustrations đ
Wow! That is my favorite sort of bookshop, and so big. So many wonderful books and illustrations, what a treasure trove. Hurray for more Ray Bradbury!
@@ReadBecca it was pretty great. Iâm wishing I had one like it close to me so I could while away a few hours a month there!
Seven wonders of the ancient world sounds so interesting. I didn't know Alice very well, but this was a lovely tribute. â€
@@insearchofwonder I had 7 wonders and then thought âno way Iâm going to be able to read this right now.â So I returned itđ€Šđ»ââïž Iâm on hold now⊠Alice was a lovely person.

I knew of an older woman who was named Douglas for the same reason that Finneas was named Finn.
@@sandra3616 what did she go by? D? Lass? I had a friend named John Collier who was a girl we called her JC which sounded like Jacie. I think she changed it when grew up.
â@novelideea I think just Douglas. We had a mutual friend. This woman would be probably in her 90's now. Mamie just called he Douglas. And she had a niece named after her. JC works well!
@@sandra3616 whenever a barista asks for my name I say âJamesâ because it doesnât get messed up like mine does. My friend always gives her dogâs name, Murphy. đ
@@novelideea That's great! We have lots of cages here - in summer, at least - but I don't think any of them take names like that. Next time I'm somewhere that does, I'm going to use something fun!
Can't believe I unintentionally listened to Disdolution in abridged form! And i really liked it. Shardlake is a prince!
@@sandra3616 I just finished bk 2 and itâs also just as good!
@@novelideea Ah... The thing is, I probably need to read the whole book one. I think my husband would like these, too.
@@sandra3616 I think my hubby would also but he wouldnât sit still for 500 pages! đ

Saw a Zane Grey in a little free library today. It slipped right through my fingers! đ

A lovely tribute to a lovely lady đ She will be missed on booktube!

Dragonfruit sounds interesting! Thanks for the heads up on Name of the Rose, I don't think it's for me. I really enjoyed Dissolution and need to continue the series. Agreed with your thoughts on it.

@@lilaccottage đđâșïž
I took got increasingly behind lately, so just catching up and happy to see your face đ€ So glad you liked Doomsday Book, I need to get to it! Willis definitely brings a lot of empathy and humor to her work. She was the host for one of the big SFF award ceremonies online last year I think and she was a delight to watch. Wow, hadn't realized there were that many Tarzan books, you and Dave/Olive have a long run ahead, so good they are still a fun time. Glad you talked about Dragonfruit, it seems like it has been hyper and everywhere, so I'd also assumed angsty YA đ
I just picked up the Food Detectives at the library yesterday, so I will have to limit my expectations going in.
I was sad to hear about Alice. I didnât know her, but I did use her videos to choose the order Iâm reading Sherlock this year. Iâm sorry for all of you that knew her so well. đ
@@CandlewickLibrary Thank you, Cheryl.đ are you enjoying Sherlock?
Loved making these memories with you momma đđ„Č. Itâs sweet to have some of them to re-visit here tooâșïž. Love you!

I love Steven Millhauser's short stories. I usually pick up one of his books when I'm in a bit of a reading slump, they always pull me out of it.đ
Oh that makes me happy! I have never read anything by him before so thank you for saying something!đ€
I loved Doomsday Book! Connie Willis' duology, All Clear and Blackout is from the same series and also outstanding. I listened to the first Tarzan book on audio last year and enjoyed it. My son is a big fantasy reader and loves Brandon Sanderson. I participated in June on the Range but haven't read any Zane Grey yet. I really want to read James - I've heard so many rave reviews! I enjoyed The Seventh Voyage a few years ago. I didn't realize you were participating in Big Book Summer! Be sure to add your video link (I didn't see an earlier BBS video, but if this is your first time mentioning it, just link this one) to the links list on the challenge page on my blog (linked in the notes on any of my summer videos) - - that will help others find your channel, plus I'll share it on social media, AND you'll be entered in the end of summer giveaway drawing! You can also join the Goodreads group if you want to, to share your video link, see what everyone else is reading, and enjoy some Big Book chat all summer!
@@SueJacksonDE hey Sue, thanks for commenting. Yes I mentioned it earlier but I donât feel the need to be entered in the prize part! Happy to just be able to give it a shoutout and you one as well. Really enjoyed meeting Connie Willis on the page and am looking forward to getting to know her better as I read more from her!
So many wonderful books in your video! đ Paul Gallico is so reliably wonderful, and you really found some incredible beautifully illustrated discoveries. Glad you had a chance to reconnect with your grand babies! Oh, and IMO that is the quintessential Martian Chronicles cover!
It is terribly difficult being so far away from my little loves, and was heartbreaking to leave them, but we had a wonderful time of connection. Isn't the MC cover so good?! My Golden apples cover I love too, but it is already falling apart so I am going to need to look for another!
My niece and nephew really like the Little Blue Truck books.
@@CourtneyReads đđ»đ.
My son LOVED The Little Blue Truck! So did my nephews. I love that Paul Gallico! I have been wondering about The Peterkin Papers for some time - thank you! I love those trolls!!! What a great haul!!!â„
@@WaterBearReads I have 4 grandsons and many nephews and I think Ev is the only one who loves it with gusto! You have read Snowflake? Gallico is pretty much an auto-buy author. I adore everything Iâve read. Peterkin Papers seems like itâs going to be wonderful and silly and heartwarming đ
Yay! Fun trip and fun haul! My goodness, the birthday gift saga just kept going, huh?! I'm so sorry! But I'm glad you finally received something at last. đ That is a beautiful copy of Their Eyes Were Watching God.
What a saga, indeed!đ I am very excited to have the Peterkin Papers, though, and it came completely unscathed đ€Ł Since I appreciate Hurston's story so much, I am happy to have an edition that I also think is beautiful.đ You are on vacation currently, aren't you? Hope you are having a great time!

@@Shellyish đ€ I thought the whole of Doomsday was done so well. I really want to read more by Willis ! Shardlake is so beautifully human. Thanks for giving me the courage to pick up James! It was fab!
I hate to say this....Reaper Man is the 2nd book in the Death subseries of Discworld books. đŹ A lovely tribute to Alice.â€
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD I have read Mort! And several others in Discworld, I just havenât gotten to read them in orderđą

Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop is one I so loved. It's gentle and cosy. Margaret P interviewed the author and translator - if you enjoy the book, that didcussion is well worth a watch
@@PageTurnersWithKatja - it went on my radar because of your review Months ago! Iâll queue up Margaretâs video so I can watch it when Iâm finished!
Love that you're reading the C J Sansom books. I binged them this year and had just finished the final one when i learned of his passing.
@@PageTurnersWithKatja - I donât know why I stopped reading Shardlake. But it wasnât because I didnât love them!
