Ah the picture of Dorian Gray !! My favourite book of all time. So happy you mentioned this :)

Another great video !! Now I have another 5 books added to my tbr, thank you for your great recommendations as always

I’ve been watching your CZcams videos for the past week, and they’re really great! You’re doing a fantastic job as a content creator. How long have you been on CZcams?

Tagged a bunch "To Read" in Libby. Thank you!!

The Age of Innocence is one of my favorite movies, I hope the book treats you as well

Wonderful video. So many great books to try. Thank you

The Kate Briggs book is going on my November TBR. I loved Cold Enough for Snow.

Karla, I am so happy about your enthusiasm for Framed! in September. These are all great recommendations and I love the way you came up with categories for each of them. You made an important point about cooking being a creative art; I like that! Also, I agree that the audio editions of Acevedo’s novels are excellent. I look forward to your next art book video. 😊

So many books and so little time. Shame about the dnfs. Best wishes.

I loved Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune, too - it was great. Your art project is so cool! And thank you ☺️

I also just picked up James. It sounds good, but also heartbreaking.

I know what you mean about not wanting to read the super hyped up books. I did end up reading James last month though and really liked it. I hope that you enjoy it as well.

Your August TBR looks incredible!

I loved listening to you discuss the books you read for Jane Austen July. You should teach a class!

i didn’t love oranges are the only fruit so i’ve been keen to pick up winterson’s memoir!! i passed it up at a used bookstore a while ago and haven’t been able to find it since

What a great TBR! Sing, Unburied Sing is on my mental TBR. OH! Unspeakable! How incredible! I LOVED James. The Trees is another brilliant book by Everett.

Super excited to hear your thoughts on James !

I love these videos so much ! You often talk about books that I have never heard of, I always end up adding another book to my wish list once the video is over

Oh, wow! The scones and bread look so delicious. Bowie is precious. I love the window seat bed. The painting is beautiful. Such a peaceful and cozy vlog!

That cake is gorgeous! I have mini reading slumps all the time. I dither about what to do about them, but I think try a chapter is a good one. My other techniques are to read either a ‘fluff’ book, the next book in a known favorite area (like an L.M. Montgomery that I haven’t read yet), or just wait it out. It usually passes in a few days. Hope yours has (or that this helps)!

I've heard great things about The Glutton and Between Two Fires. The pressure to follow through on TBR lists, readathons, etc. is real. I'm trying to find a balance between planning my reads and mood reading. The cake looks delicious!

Thank you for this lovely vlog. Your activites are a great way to enjoy Jane Austen July. Having really liked Rory Muir's latest book this month I will definitely read Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune. I've also bought Katie's book and can't wait to read it. Last but not least, your cat looks so cute and sociable :)

I really enjoyed Cold Enough for Snow too. I have been wanting to pick up something by Kate Briggs ever since hearing Bibliosophie talk about her. This Little Art sounds particularly appealing because I like reading books in translation and also because I find it very appealing when someone talks about their passions. Ways of Seeing is a classic that would be perfect for the art readathon Framed! in September-actually almost anything by John Berger would work. Oh! And I agree that there’s a great pleasure to be had in rereading. 😊

All of your scones look great! I got into baking scones during the pandemic and then, as with many hobbies, I moved on to other things. Your art was amazing. I started Katie’s book yesterday.

Excellent video. Love the way you describe the books. I found 3 to add to my TBR. Thanks.

How to Read Literature Like a Professor is a helpful tool for enhancing your reading experience. In the Dream House is my favorite memoir. Great haul!

Love and Marriage in the age of Jane Austen sounds so interesting, I will need to get a copy! 😃 Your cake looks incredible, wow! 👏🏻

I’m so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with The Long Form.

Hi 👋🏽 Welcome to Booktube! I love your selections and these are books that are right up my alley. Trying not to buy anything right not but I really want that Women of the Harlem Renaissance book

Have you read Hamerston Hall by Jane Eastbourne? It has many similarities to Jane Austen's novels and is about the same length as Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice

The Booktube urge to turn every book into a reading project is real haha! I think of reading projects all the time 🙊😍 but I’m very bad following through with them. 🫠 I love the idea of comparing translations. One of my reading projects I wanted to do was read One Hundred Years of Solitude in English to compare to the original 😝 I’ve always been curious about stuff like that.

Daughter of the Forest is my all time favorite book 💙 Can’t wait to hear your thoughts in the future! A (standalone) fantasy I’d recommend is Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn xx

I hope you love Trollope! The Way We Live Now is a great place to start. It’s cozy, funny, and gripping all at once.

Plenty there to keep you busy. Food for thought. The only problem with watching other book tubers channels is that it only increases the tbr. Best wishes with your reading and to your channel.

Great haul. That was a lot of books 😅❤ The books about Jane Austen and in the dream house sounds really good 😊

What an interesting and diverse group of books! Can't wait to hear what you think of them!

I so really really liked House of Mirth. It was my first Edith Wharton, but I definitely want to try some more.

I read Eileen in January and enjoyed it, too. I need to read more from Ottessa Moshfegh. Poe is one of my favorite writers. I love the edition you have! A Sylvia Plath biography? Yes, please. You've put some new (to me) books on my radar, too, so thank you😃 Great video as always!

Loved Cold Enough For Snow. Will be reading The Glutten soon.

I just found your channel (from Shelly😊) , love your channel already! 👏🏻 I just finished The House of Mirth last month and it’s also a favorite of the year for me. I need to read everything Edith Wharton wrote now!

You’ve made me wonder if I’d enjoy Eileen. Hmmmm. I’m love The Glutton. ❤ The House of Mirth is one of my favorite books of all time! I love love love Mrs Dalloway! Adore it. Remains of the Day is on my shelves unread. I’m excited to get to it! P&P ❤

Great video! I love long multibook recaps like these :) I'm not much for female rage for the sake of rage either haha, like you said... is there a point? because if there isn't, it's not for me. (I'm also not super attracted to the "sad girl" or "depressed woman" book that is very popular right now). But just in general I don't like angry-for-no-reason or nihilistic books. (My unpopular opinion about Pride and Prejudice is that Charlotte Lucas is my favorite character 😅). I've also been wanting to get more into Anthony Trollope!! I've only read one book by him and I loved it. I haven't been reading a lot of classics this year and I want to correct that for the second half of the year. I've had the opposite experience with nonfiction, it's taken over my reading life this year haha. And I love it, but I want to read more fiction too. I'm going to think of some fantasy books to recommend based on what I've seen in your videos! I feel like you'd like the same type of fantasy that I like :) Slow paced, character focused, low magic, historical setting, beautiful prose. (?)

Thanksfor all your reviews. I think i will reread some of the classics.

Hello, I've just discovered your channel thanks to Jane Austen July. I'm reading the Rory Muir at the moment and enjoying it so much. I would recommend Venetia, Frederica or The Grand Sophy to start with Georgette Heyer. I would love to know which of her novels you end up reading. Thank you for your recommendations! The Deirdre Le Faye book looks so interesting.

What a great TBR! I hope you love Gill Hornby, and I definitely need to read Rory Muir in the future. For Georgette Heyer recommendations, Venetia is definitely my favorite.

Love some of the fashion books that you recommended-quite fascinating! Btw, you have gorgeous hair.

Would you be interested in The Nonesuch by Georgette Heyer? I like it!

I am also a newbie, I’m so glad you made the choice to join the community ❤

I love Northanger Abbey! I reading Sense & Sensibility for the group read and I can't believe how many times I have lol'ed again. The books never cease to bring enjoyment. I love The Other Bennet sister. Great recommendation! Happy Jane Austen July!

This was wonderful! I’m definitely a combo reader. I’m influenced by my mood, the time of year, BookTube and readathons, but then like to plan a TBR to stick to so I don’t get too overwhelmed.
