Nicole, thank you for the info on Sheridan. I knew he wrote some plays, but that's it. That he was vindictive in love was unknown to me.

I love this in deep analysis!!! Thank you 🙏

Wonderful video, I learnt something, thank you.

I love how your videos have progressed over time. They’re fabulous!

Thank you for taking us with you on your travels! Looking forward to seeing the books you bought in York.

Lovely vlog!

I'm wondering... my comment is being entered on 7/21/2024. This video was posted 2 years ago. At the 9mm:50ss mark, you state that you hope the embossing doesn't rub off. How has it been holding up? Thank you for the video!

really interesting

SO many great shops, and so much cool scrapbook editing! Is that a certain editing software?? So cute.

not the amazing shrinking tote bag?!?! lol looks so fun!

Very emotional love story with some lovely English quotations. A tale of lost love, regret and obsession with a period in someone's life. American Director Joseph Losey was obsessed with the English class system. His 1971 movie is beautiful. It's set during the Boar war , hence Trillingham asking Burgess to join British army. Marion wooed young Leo, playing with his pre adolescent biological system.

Nicole, your handwriting is beautiful. Book shop 3 looks amazing. Love this video.

Beautiful shooting and editing. Loved the texts you added with your comments, it is lovely. The last time I went to England, I visited a lot of second-handed bookstores, it was a tip from my sister as I am a book lover. York seems like such an adorable place to visit, the architecture is stunning.

Thank you, Nicole, this was lovely! 🌷Have a great summer, hopefully with a bit more sunshine!

Wonderful video! I love every single thing in this video: the city: york which I loved, the choice of books you pick, the food😊. Looking forward to some more!

Loved it!!! Wonderful content and I liked very much the editing ❤ the scrapbooking style! 😍

Yes I loved it!!

Nicole, thank you for taking us along on such a lovely trip to York. I found I was wishing for the time to wear a raincoat and some cozy coolness. I enjoyed the vicarious book store shopping and the buildings, especially the minster.

Looks like you had a fantastic day! Your poor totebag 😅.

This was fabulous. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful opening scene. I like your choice of music and editing style. This just adds to my list of must-go-to places when my family and I finally make it out to the U.K. So, far you have written two stops in our itinerary.

As someone who grew up in York, I love it when I see creators I follow visit ❤ The Minster Bookshop is my absolute favourite. There was on on Fossgate that closed down in the last couple years which was such a shame, he had owned and run the shop for as long as I had been alive or more, I'm sure. It was packed floor to ceiling with everything you can think of. I'm sad it's gone. There's also a very sweet little shop called Little Apple Bookshop on High Petergate (another road out from the minster, towards the art gallery) that never seems to get any love. I love it! I'm glad you had what looks to be a great time :D

I was looking forward to your next update and lo and behold, here it is.

Yes I agree the all male Twelfth Night was brilliant, I thought Johnny Flynn was particulatly good. So interesting to follow your Shakespeare journey.

Nicole, indeed a wonderful video. Enjoyed all your reviews on the Shakespeare. However, I am envious of you watching all the live performances of the respective plays and the wide choices of OTT you have within your reach in London. In India, I have not yet seen The Hollow Crown Series as some OTT content is not accessible to our region in Asia. But, I am quite content with Ben’s Book Club, which surely makes up for all the shortfalls. Wish you a pleasant reading experience during the rest of 2024. Look forward to your intriguing videos. Best wishes and warm regards.🌹🌹🌹

Lovely video!

I’m wondering, is it a good idea to read the notes on Shakespeare plays as I’m reading, or is it better to read the entire play through without notes, and only bother with the notes on a reread?

Is this your first time reading The Wind in the Willows? When I encountered Mad Toad, I found one of my first role models. Toad made stealing cars and busting out of prison look like fun!

Always looking forward to your shakespeare videos😊! They keep me motivated for reading !

I heard it’s missing verses , I want to order but scared it’s missing verses

I must keep my eye out for Shapiro.

Happy Holidays :)

Excellent summary and analysis! Thanks so much.

new subscriberrrr

What a chic hair style! Love it! Have a great summer.

Enjoy your vacation! And read Lamb on the airplane. Your only alternatives are sleep or watch a bad movie. Use the time wisely.

I'm going to be VERY interested in your reaction to Dissertation Upon Roast Pig. 😮

I like your haircut. Enjoy your holiday!

Your hair looks great!! ❤

Don Giffords Ulysses Annotated really helps unravel Shem the penmans love of obscure details .

Thank you for your videos! And thank you for the edition recommendation 🤩

What I love about this play is -SPOILER- at the end, the men do what the women suggest! That’s incredible to me during a time when men had complete control over their wives. And I wonder if having a powerful woman as his Queen may be part of the reason why so many of his women characters are head strong and get their way. Was he writing it consciously to please the Queen or did his subconscious push him in that direction? We will never know I guess.

Loves Labour's Lost was an interesting choice. I tried reading it and failed. It's still one of WS plays I never finished. I watched the BBC version and it didn't hold my attention, but I was younger then. A professor told us that Shakespeare was so thrilled by what he could do with English that he didn't bother with keeping the spectators involved.

Hi Nicole. One can not disparage this play. Well, Shakespeare is Shakespeare. Great analysis, Nicole. Whenever I read this play, I sustain a smile on my face till the end because it’s a subtle comedy. Even the musical movie adaptation of the same is indeed enjoyable. Take care dearest friend.😊

Nice video thanks, Harold Bloom is a great lover of this play, so it does have its fans, I personally found it a bit difficult to read but I do think it's growing on me, it has something of the spirit of Robert Burton's Melancholy and makes me think of Hermetic tradition of the time that Frances Yates writes so well about. It is one I will re read again and the ending gives it quite a different slant/tone to his other comedies. It feels somehow more "Arcane".

Yours are the only videos I have alerts turned on for on youtube. This is another delightful video and thoughtful analysis! Keep up the great work.

Ah, I adore Virginia Woolf. Thanks for this.

I really enjoyed getting to know your sharp, comic wit. Thanks for the bookish inspiration. I look forward to following your reading adventures.

Eve is awesome and has been unjustly framed. Carefully watch the VEVO original video of No Doubt's "Don't Speak". It is telling Eve "I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good. Don't tell me 'cause it hurts!"
