I hope this is helpful, folks! Have a lovely evening. x
how funny to see the Hotel Belvedere here and on that book "Accidentally Wes" because that hotel has a special place in my life, I worked (and lived there) one summer back in the 90's....such amazing memories and yes it was an absolute dream that place, especially at night when everyone left and only the guests and the people who worked there stayed among the ice, the mountains and the sky...my first spiritual experience ! oh wow just went back memory lane to the beginning of my 20's wasn't expecting that ! :) Thank you !
How lovely, thank you for sharing :) x
Watching this 2 years later and i absolutely LOVE all these recommendations! Thank you 😊
thank you! i wish i had seen this earlier - the map books would have made the perfect gift for my uncle but i had to send his package quite early to make sure it arrived in time! but i know what to get him next year!!!
It took me forever to get thru this video because I kept rewinding then pausing while I googled the books or publishers & shopped. I went down a rabbit hole on Tara Books’ website watching videos of how the books are made & now a few are on their way to me. Thanks so much for all the recommendations!!
The one that grabbed my attention the most is "The devil's Atlas" I find it so interesting because I was always curious about how things are for other people from different cultures and religions.
+ The arrival
@@whateverbabe Both excellent choices! x
The video has only just started but the colour of this wig is really gorgeous 🥰
The fairy tale books illustrated by K.Y. Craft are gorgeous. She's done Cinderella and the 12 Dancing Princesses and probably others.
I want them ALLLL!!!!! (For myself, of course!) Definitely putting The Arrival on my list.
Thank you for this beautiful video.
The Arrival is so, so stunning. Enjoy ♥️
My jaw literally dropped at that Tara sea book 😍😍 Loads of other lovely books too. Thank you!
I bought the Wanderer by Peter Van den Ende on your recommendation it is *so* wonderful. It is sitting next to Arrival on my shelf. I have wanted that Kay Nielsen book for a while now, this might be a the year! Thanks for an enjoyable and helpful video.
Thank you so much for this! There are so many books I want to buy for myself.
Beauuuuutiful books... Thank you for taking all that trouble to show us the gorgeous illustrations.
What a fabulous lot of recommendations, Jen. I must admit I still buy beautiful illustrated children's books for myself, and in the last few years have been appreciating graphic novels more and more, (particularly of the style you showed in this video). I have now finished reading 'The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers' and loved it - congratulations!
What an extraordinary collection of books!!
Love your gift guides at Christmas. I love the Accidentally Wes Anderson book. My son ( big film buff) would love that.
Thank you so much for your recommendations. I just looked up "The Fox and the Star", that's exactly the type of story I was looking for.
Wonderful recommendations. Thank you.
I want them all!!
I m indian and was unaware of Tara books. Thank you for introducing me to such an artistic thing
Thank you 💗
Please do a part 2
I love the Witch Boy books! And it's always a time dragging my husband away from the Taschen books when we go to the bookstore.
So excited about Speaking In Tongues!
What a fabulous lot of recommendations, Jen. I must admit I still buy beautiful illustrated children's books for myself, and in the last few years have been appreciating graphic novels more and more, (particularly of the style you showed in this video). I have
Awe my love, I've got that same top as you (leopardy) and you look great in it. I reckon, like me, you wish there were more colours in this printed design. Awe it's nice to think we chose the same top. Great book info too... Really admire your love of books. Best wishes ❄️💫
oh my goddd I want all of these, thank you for this video! This might give me so many gift ideas.
Thankyou Jen, the books are gorgeous, love them all!
Wonderful selections! Thank you ☺️

If you decide to pick it up, I hope your friend enjoys it. Thank you. x
What is you favourite British crime classic?
Have you reviewed Chouette by Claire Oshetsky? "Part feminist fairlytale in the vein of Angela Carter, part suburban body horror' according to the Guardian. I'd love to know what you think of it.

It’s not a subject matter I want to read about at the moment. Looks interesting, though x
Every. Single. One. Here's to bibliomania.
This is such a dangerous video for me. Im a book addict.
