Congratulations on your anniversary here on Booktube! I always enjoy your videos very much! I haven't read Oliver Twist yet (I'm pushing it for the last on my Dickens journey as I don't feel much enthusiasm for it) but I'm pretty sure Bleak House is nothing like it. I read Bleak House earlier this year and found it fascinating. And I have heard it's consider as Dickens best work, from a technical point of view. It almost dethroned A Tale of Two Cities on my ranking but I have very strong feelings for Sydney Carton so Bleak House finally got a very tight second place 😂
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Bleak House! And particularly that you like it, while also liking A Tale of Two Cities (which I very much enjoyed as well). I'm considering reading it for a vlog to be posted for Victober, but we'll see how it goes haha. Thanks so much for watching Betina!
Congrats on this first of many thousands yet to come! You mentioned Project Gutenberg as your source for books from open domain; I would recommend checking out Standard Ebooks, who take classics and convert them into a much nicer looking ebooks.
Thank you! I've never heard of them but will check them out! I'm usually not particularly bothered by Gutenberg's standard formatting, it all looks fine on my ereader
thank you for answering my question! my name is Jane hahahaha never really liked my name as it felt inferior for me and ppl had made fun of my name since young (plain Jane, "Where's your Tarzan? *smirk*" etc)
I can relate somewhat, people always go, "Celine? Your parents must REALLY love Celine Dion!" or similar, haha. I think Jane is a lovely name! It reminds me of Jane Austen, who is an awesome person to share a name with
Already eagerly looking forward to your all-time top 10 favourite desert island books! Coincidentally I just finished reading "The Moonstone" which I thoroughly enjoyed and think a vlog devoted to your thoughts and opinions would be of great interest. Thanks - as always - for a fascinating and entertaining video.
Thanks Joseph! The desert island books video will be coming in September as I've already filmed all my August videos, but hopefully you won't mind the little wait! Very glad you enjoyed The Moonstone - I'm really liking it too so far
Just wanted to let you know that the island video is coming (although I took the prompt very literally, ha!). It's already up on my Patreon but will be on the channel on September 15th :)
I was thinking about first person narration the other day: "Call me, Ishmael" makes it pretty clear that the narrator is named Ishmael (presumably after the first son of Abraham in Genesis), no? So how then do we hear what Captain Ahab says and feels in Moby Dick?
@@TheEclecticLibraryThen pray hard for me and give me about a year I’m currently brewing a secret tilted Little Red Riding Hood and the Fairies of the ring I ‘m manifesting this novel so please cross your fingers H.R.Alvarez

You're very welcome Celine! I enjoy your videos. It helps to have animated eyebrows like you do, literary characters onto themselves really
Ha! My eyebrows just have a life of their own. Very glad you enjoy the videos Joel!
@@TheEclecticLibrary 🤣😂 Im glad to get the confirmation memo Celine. I'm sticking around

That's a superb achievement to get 1,000 subscribers in just a year. Well done.
Thank you! It's gone much faster than I expected
@@TheEclecticLibrary sounds like you're having fun, then!

That's interesting! I haven't read Moby Dick yet (did buy it this week), so I'll keep an eye out for the narration when I get to it
Congrats on 1,000 subscribers!!
Thank you!!
Do you find yourself wanting to read the next great fantasy novel like Lord of the Rings?
I would love to! But most contemporary fantasy just doesn't quite hit the same way

+1k subs in a year with only 29 videos? Dang. I'm at the 4yr mark, 142 videos, and haven't even cracked 200 subs yet. 😞
I got incredibly lucky that one of my early videos went small-time viral during Victober. You'll get there too I'm sure!
