REVIEWING MY RECENT READS - A BOOKISH CHAT

Beautiful hairstyle and lovely dress

Through your channel I have discovered Barbara Pym. I can’t thank you enormously enough for introducing books that I might not otherwise have picked up.

Just to mention (as I am a big Barbara Pym fan), there’s an excellent BBC radio collection of several of Barbara Pym’s books on Audible. It has Some Tame Gazelle, Hampton Crodnet and several other books on there. My absolute favourite is the Some Tame Gazelle rendition because it has the brilliant Myriam Margoyles in it and she makes me laugh out loud so many times ! It is very uplifting and most definitely my favourite book on Audible !! I just panic by the idea that I might one day not be able to listen to it.

I hope you’re enjoying your visit to Bath!

I love Barbara Pym 😊

Your hair looks so beautiful. I hope you had a wonderful time in Bath. Thank you for all the book suggestions .

I'm a little late to the party but I've just read The Secret Garden, the painted edition, and very much enjoyed it. I do like the sound of Rural Hours, I don't think I've ever read a group biography. The concept is intriguing and the subjects of this particular volume are fascinating. I hope you enjoyed your break and have a lovely time in Bath

Nice to see a couple of Barbara Pym books reviewed, she doesn't seem to be widely known now. Once you " get " Pym, the books are very enjoyable. I love " I Capture the Castle " & regularly re-read it.

Thanks for sharing your recent reads! I need to check out that Barbara Pym book! I've been reading The Brothers Karamazov and Harold Bloom's Poetry Anthology. Recently finished Village Christmas by Miss Read and about to begin Paradise Lost by Milton. Also listening to the Silver Chair (Narnia) that my husband reads to the kids at bedtime ❤. Enjoy your trip to Bath!

Looking radiant! Fabulous content as always!!

The Green Gables series is my absolute favorite series. I have recently enjoyed both of these prequel books : Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah MaCoy and Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson. I am still waiting to receive Marilla Before Anne by Louise Michalos. I especially recommend Before Green Gables🙂

Thank you so much for your book recommandations! Have a nice trip to Bath! Ivana

I only recently came across your content while laid up due to an ankle injury and it has been an absolute godsend! Introduced me to authors I’d not heard of (enjoying Elizabeth Von Arnim anthology - especially tracts on garden, now that I can hobble out to mine!) and rekindled interest in others. I really love vlogs when you are out and about and also baking with your mum. Thank you for sharing🙏.

Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen.

Your dress is stunning ❤ Thank you for your wonderful videos🌸💐🌷

I love audiobooks too and have always enjoyed listening to them. Hugh Fraser is wonderful reading the Agatha Christie books I always think. Anna Massey had such a beautiful voice too. Hope you are having a lovely time in Bath x

Thank you, Miranda! A “new” Barbara Pym novel, so wonderful! Have a good trip to Bath!

Good luck with the trip to Bath! 👍🏽

The covers of the Barbara Pym books are very eye catching.

I love all of your book recommendations, authors that I’d never heard of before now grace a place on my TBR list. Thank you for sharing your favourite reads 🥰 The dress your wearing is stunning 🤩
