I have to say - if I pick up a book in a series, I want to try the 1st one ... I recently purchased a bunch of the Tasha Alexander Lady Emily Series at a library sale - there are like 17 in it to date. A Fatal Waltz is #3 and the one you own, A Terrible Beauty is #11. Haven't started it yet - to be able to tell you if it's a series that they recommend is read in order. Enjoy all the great books you picked up!!

I too am terrible with reading books in order of the series! I just pick up any that takes my fancy and read😄 Thank you for the brilliant recommendation as always xxx

On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor looks the most interesting of the lot to me and I have never been to Michigan. It kind of sounds like a haunted house story.

This is lovely 🥰 Ultimate armchair coastal holiday!

So lovely 😊 Thank you!

I'm looking forward to Maria as well! And I have some of Poppy Alexander's Christmas books to get through a little later on in the year. 🙂

Lovely heartwarming recommendations so appropriate for autumn 🍂 reading! Thank you 😊

Sorry but since you asked, practically all of my reading is back-listed, if not completely out of print. Sorry I would not be a good candidate for net galley reviews ... :-(

another wonder recommendation video -- thank you!! I need to add Mrs Poe to my list - so many of the others here I do have already ~ not read yet! 🙃 I'm currently reading one I can see on your shelf behind you - The Librarian of Burned Books. Enjoying it so far. thank you!!

I really enjoyed The Air Raid Book Club by Annie Lyons that you recently recommended in another video. Thanks!

"My Recollections of Lord Byron" by Countess Guiccoli.

"A Matter of Class" is one of my favorite Balogh stories. Good choice.

love the recommendations! I've added 'After Anne' to my list. I had recently picked up 'The Arctic Fury', looking forward to reading this one. I am such a seasonal, mood reader... 😊

I recently started 'The Librarian of Burned Books'! enjoying it so far, as I do most WWII books. I had to laugh - as I have all these books you spoke about on my shelves. I would recommend to readers ( especially those that love books about books ) Stephanie Brutland's - 'Found in a Bookshop' and 'Lost for Words Bookshop'. Thoroughly enjoyed these and the book recommendations thru out the story. Happy Reading!!

First of all, your hair looks amazing! and is that a Monet print blouse?! I love it. I absolutely LOVE the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek! The sequel is also really good.

Really enjoyed the recommendations! I have read “The book woman of troublesome creek” awhile ago. It was an interesting engrossing read, some similarities to “The giver of Stars” by Jo Jo Moyes which I also enjoyed reading. I have also recently read “The Air Raid Book Club”, by Annie Lyons set in London 1938 about a bookseller struggling to keep open a bookshop amidst the war, bereavement etc. It was a lovely charming story. Thank you 😊 (by the way love your beautiful top!❤🩷💚🌼)

Exciting choices!

Love all the book club picks. I can’t wait to read “After Anne.” Surprisingly, I already have a copy of “The Letter Tree,” I’m thinking that you must have mentioned it in a June or July segment (lol), but I can’t wait to read it September.

There are definitely some fantastic books that "leave an imprint on the soul". Sometimes it's a comfort and sometimes a reminder that I've moved forward in life. Thankyou for sharing your literary journey 🙂

Beautiful! Thank you xxx

Such soothing sounds!

FYI..your handout for the August challenge has Captain Wentworth's name misspelled!

Perfect for some “me time reading” ❤🩷💚

Lovely 😊

Thank you for the recommendations. Will definitely check them out 😊

Thank you, I will look into some of these.

Are you familiar with Hamerston Hall by Jane Eastbourne?

I've never heard about these books, so thank you for recommendations.

Library book sales are the best! You can score some incredible gems at amazing prices. Looks like you did just that! I read 'Water For Elephants' and loved it! It's one of my favourite books and it will always have a place on my bookshelf. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Thanks for the recommendations!

Oh you're so lucky. I love the 90s movie so funny and witty 😊

You found some really good books here! I wish the library sales around me had bargain prices like that! I love that you picked up 2 copies of the 'Personal Librarian' - 1 for your LFL! I've done that often when I've purchased a book I find I have when I get home.😮 I tend to find many of my used books on e-bay or thriftbooks, if I'm looking for something particular, as well as a local used bookshop chain around my state. I need to find the other Lucy Worsley books - I found 'The Austen Girls' in a LFL recently. I want to find 'Lady Mary' and 'Queen Victoria'. Syrie James -- 💞💞 'Dracula, My Love' is the one you were thinking of... I purchased it when I picked up the others. I LOVED 'The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen'. enjoy growing your HF shelf!

I love library book sales. My local library sells donated books for the cost of $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardbacks. On the final day of the sale they then charge $5 per as many books that can fill a bag. Generally, I buy the best books for my family and friends on day one of the sale and then come back on the final day to purchase books per bag for my little free libraries that I steward. My local library usually has three huge rooms filled with books to sell four times a year. The large conference room is adult books on every genre and topic possible. The second room is children books while the outer lobby is media (DVDs, vinyl records, magazines). I have even found rare first editions. Generally, I pick up so many books on the final day that I am often loaned a library cart to wheel them and load into my car. My husband’s best friend has been a regular patron at his local library and every Tuesday he obtains discarded books for free. These books are definitely older from the 60s -80s, a few out of print but many are classics in perfect condition. He often provides me with 4-6 boxes of books a month for my little libraries, so I am pretty lucky. In fact, I got a Pride and Prejudice from his last lot that I then gave out for my Jane Austin Literacy Tea Brunch. Bottom line - library book sales are really a great place to build up one’s own library.❤❤❤

What a great Library Sale haul!! Secrets of a Charmed Life was such a good read - I really enjoy that author. I really like Jodi Picoult's older books, not many readers do, but I remember like the Songs of the Humpback Whale ( and the Plain Truth ). Last year I had been to a Kristin Hannah book event speaking about The Four Winds - but there was much discussion around The Great Alone as well - she tells such a great story. Kate Morton is another favorite author.. 😊

I had bought that children's book of Jane Austen, could not resist! Thanks for sharing, I will be looking for some of Kim Wilson's books.

I love the time to read ambiance videos! thank you for posting them!

love seeing what others take out from their libraries - I almost always find some that interest me and get added to my growing list of TBRs. 😊

I love to see what people check out from the library. Love the kitty!😊🐁🐱

Great list. Thank you. Rose Servitova has also written continuations of "Sanditon" and "The Watsons".

Best wishes with what you choose to read and to your channel. Happy reading!

The Real Jane Austen and Godmersham Park are both fantastic! Hope you enjoy Jane Austen July 😊
