I’m so glad you participated in our project! Helen Humphreys was on my top ten list too; I chose her Machine Without Horses as my favourite but it could easily have been The Lost Garden instead. Two of the books you mentioned are entirely new to me and I look forward to tracking them down.
Not a big reader but your vid was nice. Hope youre having a good one
Great video! So happy I found you today 🎉
I am due to go back to the Witches books, been a while since i re-read them.Always loved how Pratchett would satirised certain things but it never felt mean spirited. You have had a great selection of reads!
So glad you participated and shared your top ten. I still need to read some Heather O’Neill. 😊💙
Loved the tour and you had several books I hadn’t heard of. I haven’t started Sanctuary Line yet but will soon. Looking forward to your top 10 list! 😊💙
It all looks like a magical little nature retreat perfect for escape and reading!
So many books and so little time. Happy reading.
Unable to hear you well honey 🎉😢
Hi! Happy Tuesday, thank you for your videos, many of the titles made me want to go back to reading. Sending you lots of love from Mexico ❤
What a lovely discussion of this wondrous work, youdid a great job getting across the immersion and how compulsive this is. I adore everything Selznick has put out, but this one is my favorite. If you haven't seen it, there is a beautiful edition he did illustrating Whitman's Live Oak With Moss, exploring especially the gay storytelling of the poetry I think as his only adult audience work to date.
Invention of Hugo Cabret won the Caldecott, which was shocking since it’s not a picture book in the standard thinking.
Thank you Book of Dust, you are my favourite fact corrector. ❤
I’ve added the correct info into the description, I couldn’t figure out how to correct the video.
Wonderful review. Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
I've seen the Encyclopedia of Fairies before. Great to hear your thoughts on both books. It's been hot in Calgary too. 😊💙
Awesome review !!
Right! TH-cam randomly suggested this video to me. I'm an audiobook person and haven't listened to any stories in a while, but her warm vibe, broad selection, and interesting synopsis made me subscribe. Also, I'll be starting D&D for the first time as a elven-fairy so her 2nd book rec. hit home 😊
Thank you for watching ❤
@@milagrossmith106 thank you for watching 🎉
Ordering a XXXXXXXXL now...
Hello from Australia. We are in the middle winter. But great reason to curl up and read
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I am interested to hear what Steve reads and what he thinks about the books. I think our books taste overlaps. I hope you will make some videos together.
Glad you made it home safe with lots of treasures!
Books bought while travelling have a special aura because they have additional memories attached to them.
I've read all of the Ruth Galloway mysteries and always thought they were set on the Norfolk coast. ??? I did live in Somerset England for two years but most of my life has been in the USA, so that's only guess work. For me, the first nine Ruth Galloway mysteries were very good; the latter ones disappointing.
You could be right. I said it from memory which is always faulty. Thanks for the tip on the series.
I've read two of Derek Gow books and I enjoyed thay one for sure. It's weird living in a very rural place and then learning about the controversy of some countries in efforts to bring back wolves and then UK resisting reintroduced beavers haha
Can you imagine wolves in England these days? Makes the trouble beavers cause seem less severe.
hellooooo😊😊😊
Love the dinosaur shirt! Instead of being intoxicated by the beautiful prose you become intoxicated by the fumes coming off that book! 😁
Hello Lorraine, I frequently talk about a tree grows in Brooklyn on my channel. I grew up in that same neighborhood in Brooklyn. albeit at 100 years later. Everything about the book is divine, including the author Betty Smith who wrote many other books that were all autobiographical, she said. Thank you for giving me another perspective on it, the alcoholic father part. Aloha friend.
Thanks for sharing your journey and what you’re reading. It’s all quite engaging ❤
Thank you, glad you are enjoying it.
Beautiful scenery! Your van looks great, I love seeing the way everything packs up and fits in. 🚐
A little jigsaw puzzle every day.
Love how the amount of books have grown! Safe travels. 😊💙
So glad to be home now. Thank you for the visit.
@@booksatthebottomofthestair8446 It was so great to meet in person. 😊
Great shots! 😊💙
Thank you. 😊
Catching up on your videos. It’ll be fun following along on what you do end up reading. Safe travels. 😊💙
Book store was stunning!
I know! I want to go there always now. 😊
What a lovely nature section that place had!
It was a treat to walk there. 😊
Lovely. Thanks for taking us along. 🌲
It’s been a blast. 😊
Great recommendations, thank you! 😊
hellooooo....😊
I am glad I am not the only one that found, despite liking it, braiding sweetgrass too long. I was only able to finish it by listening to the audiobook.
At least you finished. I haven’t ever felt so much guilt for not completing a book.
Oh! I like shelf that you have now, that’s perfect to elevate them to hovering above the stairs and protect them and you during the assent and descent! Your floral print would fit right in with the Met Gala yesterday, floral prints were all the rage, and it was a Ballard short story that was the primary inspiration.
I’ve never watched the Met Gala but have heard that the outfits are very spectacular. I love a good flower.
I think it’ll be a read aloud; The Oil Man and the Sea “Navigating The Northern Gateway “
Sounds great, I will put a chair in front of the mail slot. Thank you so much.
Hey Laureen I’m sending you a travel book.
I read The Road to Litchfield last year and loved it. It was written in the 1970's, when I was in my twenties, and is so evocative of that time. Details like the price of petrol, young mothers wearing smocks, changes in education... It was the first Penelope Lively I'd read and I went on to read others but I liked The Road to Litchfield best.
I’m looking forward to it now. Thanks for the encouragement
I never realized that sailboats were also available without sails...cool...;) So excited for you and proud of you Friend. XO
You are the bestest friend a gal could have.❤
Congrats on the 500 milestone from your new subscriber!😊
So glad you are here. 🎉
Congratulations on the 500 followers! Hope you get to 1k soon. You are such a lovely lady and your recommendations are pure gold.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m glad you like the books here. ❤
I love the title of this video! I just discovered your channel through Gina Stanyer. I’m going to go check out the first two parts of this series. 😊
Thank you Jen. If you go back to the description below, I have added the links to parts one and two so you don’t have to scroll back. Thank you for the idea.
@@booksatthebottomofthestair8446 Wonderful! I've added them both to my Watch Later. 😊
I pretty much agree with everything you say here. The protagonist was too much of a Mary Poppins character for me, and I know that was intentional because the author spelled it out, but it just didn't work. I hear this is a feel-good book, but it made me frustrated with its lack of direction or plot. Not the worst book I've ever read, but a solid 3 out of 5 stars for me too
Blast from the past. I started a couple of her other books but found I just forgot them. Thank you for commenting.
you should make a gameshow on your channel, just saying
What would be the questions or tasks like?
Cushion Book is a great term. Aloha
I really need to check out Katherine Arden. Thanks for the kind words Laureen. I am in good company with the booktubers you shared. 😊💙
I am new to your channel and I love your content. I really hope you will take us along when you are on your road trip. it's so wonderful to find your channel so calm and real. I feel I could enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of cake in a cafe with you.
If you are ever in Halifax, it can be arranged.
The new bookshelf is beautiful and I love your fox handles!
Thank you. A week later and it is still fun to see how nicely they fit in.
Your videos are amazing
Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it.
