What I've Been Reading, Read & Couldn’t Read - A Book Vlog

2024-05-12に共有
Hello everyone. A different video to one i usually do to chat about what books I’m reading and what I couldn’t continue reading.

It’s difficult to create one video per book every time simply because I read a lot and I’d be bombarding you with videos.

Some of these books are book club choices and others are what I picked up in bookstores or libraries.

Books I talk about are:

Mr Palomar
Reunion
Un Si Bel Horizon (French)
Anna O
Tom Lake


Calvino, Brookner, Patchett, Uhlmann, Blake…are some authors here.

Share your thoughts of these books if you have read them too.

What are you currently reading?

  • Hello everyone, a different video today where I share what I've read and what I couldn't. Yes, there are videos on books that I don't consider sharing for various reasons. If you like this video or want to see any others, just let me know. If you like this content, then consider donating a cup of coffee to me at: ko-fi.com/lifelessonsfrombooks Happy reading! (Or putting down books). Ha ha!!
  • Great video! I love this format a lot! I want to read Reunion now, you totally sold it for me 😉 I was gifted Tom Lake last September and I was so excited to read it (the Dutch House was one my favourite books of 2023), but... I just couldn't pass the first 50 pages. I tried the audiobook as well, and it made it worse. I wondered what I was missing because everyone was raving about it. I'm glad to find that I am not the only one. 😊

    I love this style of video, would really like to see more in the future! It was also interesting to hear about your language learning journey 😊 I’ve been studying French most of my life and I still sometimes struggle with reading literature in the original but it’s so worth it! This also inspired me to get to more works by Calvino, I’m Italian but definitely don’t read enough Italian literature 😮
  • This was an amazing multi-review. I finished Tom Lake. I know you are not too keen for audio versions, however I enjoyed listening to Meryl Streep raconting the story more than I would have read the hard copy. The Reunion even though I haven't read it yet, reminds me of The Swimmer written by a Polish author, I don't recall his name, that was a great book as well I am looking forward to your recommendation 😀 😊. Have a great weekend! It is Mother's Day here in Canada. Cheers, Marianne
