The Goldie Bear series (The Main Corpse) is very good but it is one that should be read in order because there are a lot of changes over the course of the series. I wonder if you mother has read any of them. When I read physical books, what I didn't give to my Daddy I would take to the used book store and usually walked out with more books and spent all my credit. 🤣

Thanks! Great recommendations and enjoyed the video so much!

Such a great list of books!!

I didn't really like The Eye of the Sun either. Can understand why you are getting rid of Anna K and Mansfield Park. I really need to sort my books out.

Looks like you have freed up lots of room! It's good to not keep books you'll never read again! It's funny that Sophie Mouse has come back to your house again for Amelia to read!❤

I have looked all over for Old Herbacious, I am so glad it is good. Great unhaul... feels good to clear out .

Thank you for sharing your book unhaul. It's interesting to see what is enjoyable to read but able to pass it on. You have inspired me to start going through my many boxes of books to see what I am interested in reading or unhaul.

I wondered if the Buddy read was going to go lol. Ah that Phantom Lake has such a great cover... lol.

Who is the dagmoon person and why does she get the exact same books I would want? Oh. Wait. That's me!!! SQUEEE!!!!! I seriously was hoping you hadn't already donated Old Herbaceous because, although I've read it before, I donated it and have been sorry ever since, a case of unhaulers remorse. I am thrilled! Then next up was Ladies' Lunch and I really want to read that!! I love books about old ladies (even before I became one myself) and since I'm on a book buying ban for this year, it was going to be ages before I would be able to get to it. My gosh, you are so sweet, Tammy🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙💜♥. Thank you.

A motivation video! I'm typically not a re-reader so why am I keeping those books? Time for me to get serious about speed dating my shelves. Thanks for the video.

Great unhaul, thank you for sharing.

As always a nice video. I am one that just doesn’t own books or rereads them. The older I get there are just too many I still need to read😊.

I love unhauls. It's always interesting to hear why readers keep books on their shelves or unhaul them. I don't have any physical books anymore (I prefer eBooks and audiobooks). I did go through my Kindle and Audible books in December and deleted quite a few. I got serious about the books I really want to read or re-read. Have a great rest of your week and weekend! 📚

Good unhaul.

Such a great diverse group of books. I do love Ann Tyler. I read Breathing Lessons so many years ago, I can’t remember it very well. I might want to revisit it. What an enjoyable wrap up! Happy New Year.

I have wanted the Edwardian lady for a long time ;) I would love to see your drawings.

Oh wow, the Edwardian lady one sounds so neat!

I’ve never read The Yearling. I will have to read it one of these days.

I'm behind on watching my booktube, but I really enjoyed listening to your goals for the year! And congrats on 1 year! I hope you enjoy The Black Tulip! Let me know when you plan on reading it, and we could do a buddy read 😀 it's a book I would definitely like to re-read!

I really enjoyed hearing about your favorites. I haven't read any of them.

Cutie patooties!

Adorable adorable!! Thank you so much for including them!

You have the most beautiful grandchildren ❤❤!

Love this wrap up and it’s so good to see you thriving here on Book Tube. You always bring forward some unknown or forgotten gems - I remember my sister reading Belva Plain and loving them. Perhaps it’s time for me to get my hands on Evergreen as well.

I love reading middle grade! I am planning to read 25 nonfiction in '25. Congrats on your love of re-reads! I am not quite there yet.

LOVED going down your 2024 memory lane. I remembered many of the titles from your videos. Interesting that many of your favorites were buddy reads which goes to show that even though reading is a solitary activity, loving books and the stories within them can be an occasion for lovely social bonding. My top favorite book of 2024 was *Timothy, or Notes of an Abject Reptile* by Verlyn Klinkenborg, a novel about the famous tortoise of Britain's (real) 18th century naturalist Gilbert White. The story is written from Timothy's point of view in the most amazing prose. Timothy's perspective on humans made me laugh out loud. I didn't want it to ever end. It's a lovely wandering through a small English village in simpler times. I keep telling myself I will write Mr. Klinkenborg to tell him how much I loved it. It's certainly not a very well-known book but was written as if every word mattered to him, (which isn't surprising as he is a member of the editorial board of The New York Times.)...just my kind of book.

Great books! I have Oliver Twist and Tess on my list for 2025. I enjoyed The Woman in White!

Dracula by Bram Stoker was my top read of last year.

Tess is so sad and I loved it when I read it. I will have to reread it again soon. You have reminded me how much I love it.

You had a fantastic year! I love hearing you talk about the books you really loved. I just did top 10 series but I did favorites for standalones. Some were Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen by Susan Gregg Gilmore and Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley; Last Orders at the Star and Sixpence series by Holly Hepburn and Cousins Cozy Mysteries series by Beth Hamer Miles.

I’ve actually also read Evergreen years ago! I read it after it was recommended to me for something similar to The Thorn Birds, an absolute favorite of mine. And now I have Random Winds that I just purchased by Belva Plain and am excited to read it!

Great video!

I consider "Evergreen" (and the others in the series) to be a right-book-at-the-right-time kind of book. I know that I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, gotten as much out of it, if it wasn't for the Buddy Read. I would have liked it just fine, but the fact that we took our time with it and got to discuss big and little things in the book just boosted my enjoyment. Doing the Buddy Read helped me understand myself as a reader, too. Slow down, take time to think about what I've just read. Thanks for the video.

What a great reading year and lovely video Tammy! You have added to be TBR for sure and I am looking forward to reading a few genres that I don't normally read (I want to try the Brandon Sanderson book you talk about LOL) xo

You’ve certainly added to my list of books that I want to read! The Irving Stone book sounds wonderful. And several others on your list I’m adding. Anne Tyler is one of my all time favorites, but it’s been years since I read Breathing Lessons. I think it’s time for a re read. Loved Miss Pettigrew!

If you like romance, have you read much Georgette Heyer? I wasn’t much of a romance and especially not period romances until I started reading her a couple of years ago. Some favorites are Frederica, The Reluctant Wife, and Cotillion. I found a copy of The Blue Bedroom lately and have it in my queue. Now I can’t wait to start it! Although have to wait a couple of weeks for the opportunity, which is hard when I want to start now! You had a great reading year!
