    I'm so far behind now with tags that I've lost track. A double header is a great idea. I know I was tagged for the Honest Booktuber one! I still need to find Brownsville. Great tags!
  • Thanks for doing my tag. Happy to have found your channel. Half a Lifelong Romance sounds like something I would like. Also love a good short story collection. They are hard to find. Love your dream of being a translator. Wonderful! 😊💙

    I should probably double up on some of my tags...I'm behind again! I just added Brownsville to my TBR!

    You always have lots of books I've never heard of that sound interesting! My Antonia I read for the first time last year and loved, I've read one Elizabeth Strout book but not Olive Ketteridge, I need to get that one.
  • Very clever putting these two together! I’m so behind on tags too, we’ll catch up eventually 😂 Thank you for saying such kind things about me and my channel, I appreciate it a lot. I’m glad you’re just you too! I think you read on a different level and it comes across in your videos when you really love a book, or laughed out loud or enjoyed some food 😅 I don’t know of any other channel that is like yours, so I think you should be very proud of that. I don’t know how to vlog either btw, I find it hard to pick up the camera and continue to film things. But in theory that’s all you have to do, and then just put one clip after the other 😊 I’m sure you could if you tried! Loved hearing about some of these favorites of yours. What genre would you say Brownsville is? Looks a bit creepy on the cover, is it? Or just sort of contemporary or something else? Oh btw, I would not have read 1984 in school either if I could get out of it. I’m reading it now and I’m almost done, but I was so bored in the beginning! 😂
