I agree with you so much when it comes to “our little corner.” The smaller channels and the channels that talk about books that not everyone is reading. I also have a new desire to reader a wider array of genres. I love BookTube for that.

One of my favorite Jacks:) Happy Birthday!

You couldn't pick a more ironical choice for this tag. Mr. Sardonicus -- the Little Ray of Sunshine himself -- had to scramble to find things that made him happy:) And he did quite a good job of it...

These are fantastic!!

Happy Birthday 🎈Yay- for the Ace Doubles :) In which, by the way, I knew nothing of them or about them until I learned from you. Now, it’s a goal to own a few!

I am certainly one of those who enjoy your videos - thanks!

"Because, as you know, I am a little ray of sunshine." 🤣🤣

Thank you for tagging me in this one, Gavin. This is a delightful tag. I love your answers-and your channel! 😊

“Borders of Booktube” 😂😂 love it. We need a map lol

A retro look at the future…. I am now feeling nostalgic. 😅🚀

Brilliant. What fabulous covers 😊

Happy 100th Truman Capote 🎈 You’re forever known as one of the characters in To Kill A Mockingbird, to me

That was a blast! Thank you, your videos have been some of the highlights of Framed! in September.

Enjoy your Victober reading... 👻 Evenor has a great cover.

This has been a wonderful series, Gavin. I am so impressed that you have read these histories. Well done!

Thanks for posting 30 days of Shakespearean insults! They were so fun!

I love your edition of the Complete Works. I’ve really enjoyed your Shakespeare round up this month. Brilliant stuff 😊

Love that Macdonald copy, I've not heard of him. I'll be hitting Gutenberg hard this month so look forward to your picks on there.

Happy Birthday, you devious little man...

No, don't go away, Will! Come back! I'm still here...

Oh man. I feel a bit flushed!

"I wonder that you will still be talking... Nobody marks you."(Much Ado About Nothing Act 1, Scene 1)

Brilliant selection. Love Victober and Occult Detective October. But I’ve also got to read some more of the books I’ve purchased this year. Thankfully some of them tie in with the events 😊

Interesting picks! Hope you enjoy them.

"Thou crusty batch of nature..." Troilus and Cressida (Act 5, Scene 1)

Shakespeare on the mind. I didn't participate, but I understand how that goes and then refocusing on other topics and books for a new month. (nodding) yes! I need to finish books I've started (the ones with the bookmarks in them,) and finish them off before the new year. One of them is Churchill. I didn't even think about adding him for Victober. I was going to add him for Historathon's finish it off in Nov/Dec. I look forward to hearing your reviews on your books. I'd onlyl heard of a few you mentioned. And you have a daughter?

What a great list of possibilities, Gavin! Wuthering Heights is one of my all-time favorite novels. The MacDonald books look delightful! I know you are going to have a great month!

Plenty there and a wide range Gavin. Hope you enjoy them all. Best wishes.

That's an amazing TBR, good luck :D I am loving these George MacDonald's covers! I've read Princess and the Goblin and the sequel, quite fun although I remember the second one was much less enjoyable - it was fun to see what Tolkien took from this! :) Yes to Victorian recommendations of less known works! PS there is also Nonfiction November next ;D

Your Macdonald books are so beautiful! I hope you get to read some of them. Good luck. We do this then to avoid chagrin.

What do you think, overly ambitious again? Will I ever learn?

Bless you for Brother Cadfael:) I would have liked to be a medieval monk and tend the herb garden...

@KatJack-vl8xj 1 second ago I left that one for you... "[Thou art] a knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave; a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service; and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition." King Lear (Act 2, Scene 2)

A little memorial for Dame Maggie Smith: "Don Pedro: ... to be merry best becomes you, for out o’ question, you were born in a merry hour. Beatrice: No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born." Much Ado About Nothing (Act 2, Scene 1)

Absolutely love these shelf tours. So many brilliant covers, so many brilliant books 😊

I've been meaning to read Guy Gavriel Kay for years but never got round to it, I only own Tigana. I saw lots of Harry Harrison in Baggins but couldn't find the first one. Reading my first Hawthorne right now, The Scarlet Letter. Owning an Aldiss copy, very cool! I've had Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy sat on my shelf unread for about 15 years.

"A southwest blow on you and blister you all o’er." The Tempest (Act 1, Scene 2)

Oh! Now I know what all the ‘Book Murderer’ mentions are about from Elaine 😂hahaha! Fun Tag. And cool answers, Gavin. (I agree with you.) That’s a neat copy of Blood And Thunder

I really love the little bits of ephemera you keep finding in these books, Gavin!

Ooohh Queen of Ashes sounds like it could be fun. Hopefully it’s not too far in to the series!

Those are some gorgeous, intriguing covers!

I have a couple of Stainless Steel Rat books I've owned since the 90's, and never got around to reading them.

Happy Purrday, Old Possum. Jack-Jack-the-Tuxedo-Cat sends his regards...

Sounds brilliant. My personal projects always seem to take a back seat to reading events. I need to change that really 😊

When you mentioned Russell Thorndike, I just had to check if he was related to Sybil. And he was -- she was his sister.

I’ve seen Etsy shops that take old classic book covers, remove them from the book, and put the cover on blank journals or sketch books. And others that use the pages of old books to “create art”… I can’t stand it.

Great covers, I'm very jealous! Is it important to read the Stainless Steel rant in order, or can i read them as I find them?

Love the sound of these plans!! I can’t wait to see you dive into more SciFi themes!
