Wowzers 😮 LoL
one of many benefits is that these videos are a great way to narrow down & decide which physical books to purchase. Even if it’s read digitally, but ya still want a copy for your shelf. So appreciated 🙌🏻
You are welcome!
Gavin, thanks for listing authors and some titles in extra information! Trying to keep up on this lengthy list would be difficult! I've pulled a lot from Gutenberg, but your efforts put me in the shade! Many thanks!
You’re welcome! Feel free to watch it several times ;)
What a fantastic list. Thanks Gavin for doing all the digging for us (again!). I love this series of videos 😊
Thanks! Any suggestions for lists welcomed!
This is incredible, Gavin! What a great resource you have provided. Well done!
Thanks Pat, I think that one hundred could be my (and anyone watching) limit..
I never would have thought of Margaret Cavendish but yes, she could definitely be considered. Thanks!
I read it earlier this year: want to find an annotated version as I’m sure a lot went over my head!
Once again thank you for doing all the leg work on this. You are my go to on all Project Gutenberg stuff.
Thanks! Going to get stuck for ideas soon, so let me know if there's something you want to see...
@@GenreBooks23 Have you done Crime Mysteries or Mysteries in general? I looked on your channel and didn't see any... but that doesn't mean I didn't miss it.
@@FacelessBookReviews no I haven’t, noted!
One more suggestion and it could be the Dalmations Gavin.
Ha!. One less and I could have stuck a Flake in it..
