Lovely photos with the fam! Thanks so much for sharing! 💗
@@ThisLittleLightLife I’ll do a more complete “vlog” style of time there soon. Thank you for watching and commenting 💞
Welcome back! I'm glad you had such a lovely time with family.
It was hard to leave them 💞
Woot 900 subscribers!!🎉🎉❤
😂 I haven’t looked ❣️ That is amazing 💗
Welcome back!! Someone commented about Doomsday a few days ago and has been on my mind ever since. James!!! ❤ Dissolution is great. I’ve only read the first two books on the series as well.
@@Shellyish 🤗
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!
Yay for time with family🎉 you’ve read so much in June!
It was the best.🥰 I am missing them all terribly. 🥲
June was good to me.
You are the SECOND of my favorite Booktubers to love Dragonfruit! 😮♥️
It was so great! I was so surprised that a YA book was not angsty & spicy & was a unique story. 💗
Back in the saddle! A visits with the grandkids is good for you… you have an extra special glow today! *Ahem*…. Twenty FOUR books, Deea. Don’t think you’re skipping out early 😉. Still jealous of your illustrated version. I need to finally move onto Well of Ascension at some point…. A two year break is long enough 😜. Hmm… that Dragonfruit sounds like a pretty novel idea (see what I did there?). Wow, Im totally going to pick up that Seventh Voyage. Your description reminds me of one of my favorite all time scifi movies, Moon. Different, but it reminds of it.
24🤭Sorry🤷♀😜
Dragonfruit is definitely unique in it's intersection of dragons and humanity. I enjoyed the story so much.
Seventh Voyage is right up your alley, Dave. You and Olive should read more Lem than just this one. Everything I've read by his has been reread worthy and I don't say that about many sci-fi books.
Deea I spotted a Thomas Dambo troll! We have Thomas Dambo trolls at the Maine Botanical Gardens as well! I love them! Welcome back!
Yes! I am going to put up a video with more of it soon, but Dambo has a summer installation at Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville this year. My oldest daughter has a membership to the gardens and knew I would love seeing the trolls so we went on a very hot and humid Sunday. 🤗
@@novelideea That is so cool!
I hope you onto the next Connie Willis book, To Say Nothing of the Dog! It's very different, but it's my favourite in the series.
I’d love to! I just have to find it! 😂
How wonderful you got to spend time with your kids and grandkids! So happy for you! ❤️ Also, congratulations on 900 subscribers!🥳
It really was wonderful 💗💞💗
So glad you’re back safe and sound!
Already wishing I was back with my babies.☺️
I tried Zane Grey too, i just didn't like it, there were some things in it that I just couldn't stomach. I'm glad you're still enjoying Tarzan, after my Dad passed I read the whole series, and enjoyed most of it.
One of my buddy readers said that the way the conversations were written and the description of the characters made her read it as if John Wayne was the narrator! 🤣 We had a lot of discussion about what was bothering us and what we were unable to stomach or what was keeping us in the story. I do not think I would have completed it if it weren't for my buddies.
Welcome back! Loved that you soaked in your time with your kids and grandkids!
Hi Smiti!
Thank you💕 It never is enough time (or at least not knowing when the next time will be makes leaving hard!)
@@novelideea I get that!
I've been curious about the Glass Library series. So glad to hear you've been enjoying it! I was interested in The Name of the Rose until I heard you and Tiffany talking about it, but now I think I'll have to give Dissolution a try.
Glass Library Series is more of a historical fantasy mystery than a cozy one, but it is still amateurs solving the crimes and they aren't as intense as murder mysteries. I am always waiting anxiously for the next in the series.
We tried another Eco not long after Tiffany read Name of the Rose and DNFd it before the first paragraph was done! 🤣
I think we both really wanted to like him, but his content is just too much for us.
I'm reading bk 2 of Shardlake by Sansom now - Dark Fire. I am hoping I like it just as much as I did the first time through a decade (?) ago.
You read quite a lot this month! Hope you had a lovely time with the family. ❤
Family time was not long enough but beautiful in what time we got.
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 don’t 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!
I took got increasingly behind lately, so just catching up and happy to see your face 🤗
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 😅
I just picked up the Food Detectives at the library yesterday, so I will have to limit my expectations going in.
You've got me wanting to read James. I know your limits on content are similar to mine. I want to read Huck Finn first tho.
You sound in this video like you liked Riders much better than how I thought you felt in our chat group.😅
🤣 I liked it because of the ending. I wouldn’t want to reread it or live through that angst again 😅
Congrats on 900 subs! whoop whoop
💞
Welcome back! Glad you had a good trip! I am really interested in reading James but i need to reread Huck Finn first i think. It's been a while.
The Story is pretty much the same as Huck Finn, but it's told from the perspective of the highly intelligent, scathingly funny, and kind James. Everett definitely turns some things on their heads! I love that he adds some of his own plot twists & gives beauty and hope to a dark situation.
Yogi tea is a real go to! Wow, what a great reading month, you read so much, I'm impressed!
I have several Yogi blends I 💕 love!
No complaints about how much I got to read - so thankful there were several I really enjoyed!
Are you home?
@@novelideea yes I am, I returned home safely all is well 🙏🏻 I have my surgery for my wisdom teeth on September 2!
@@Tinasmovinglibrary Wonderful. I am sure you are missing the Sunshine and the peace of the farm, but I am glad you made it home safe
That surgery seems awfully far out. I hope they don't give you too much pain until then.
@@novelideea thank you Deea 🧡
