I went to a talk given by Kerry during our literary festival in October/ November. A raw account of everyday life for the working class. Important work for historians as it is history from below rather than the elite history from the top. Kerry lives in the Czech Republic now. A true champion of the ordinary working person. Your voice is so calming. 😊
Hi, Helene, thank you for sharing! I found THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL recently through one of my favourite booktubers 'The spinsters library' and loved it so much! Now I’ll check your other reread from Lauren Gross or Cross (couldn’t catch it). I know the feeling of wasted time... happy reading, stay healthy, love, Monika❣️
A new video from Helene: a great way to start the day!---"Lowborn" sound very interesting. Here in the U.S. I grew up in and live in an area that has a lot of poverty and multi-generational poverty. Some people move up and beyond, some don't. ---In April I finished reading "Writing in Restaurants" by David Mamet, essays mostly about theater by someone who has a level of dedication to the theater that I've never encountered before and who has very definite ideas about the subject. The author says a lot in few words; slow, challenging reading for me but rewarding. I once had some involvement in acting but even for those not in that activity the book is excellent.---I'm now reading the memoir that may be the opposite of "Lowborn": "Dead End Gene Pool" by Wendy Burden who is a descendant of the famous Vanderbilt family and grew up in a wealthy setting and who is a terrific writer with a great comic flair.
So glad I gave up on "astonish me" a few hours ago at 20%. I listened to it on BookBeat. I felt exactly as you put it: it was building up, building up with nowhere to go I felt like. And the ballet part fell too short for me- which was the reason I picked it up in the first place. So sad. But hey too many books too little time
You coming back to Booktube has made me so incredibly happy. Please stay!!! You were so incredibly missed!!! Also love that shirt!
Getting Hygge With It I agree!!! You were very missed and it’s great to have you back! 😃

I need to read Fates and Furies! I’ve heard such positive thing and the fact that you’ve reread it speaks volumes
