This was a really enjoyable video Marilyn. It's great you have found such wonderful authors to treasure. 🌻

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Thank you, Sandra. Since joining book tube, I have found many more Authors to love. Thanks so much for watching. Aloha friend.

Beautiful

[@nathanfoung2347]

Aloha Maya, adding some Pym to my Kindle.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

You will love her! Aloha friend

[@ReadtoFilth]

This is my sign to read some Agatha Christie this year !

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

There’s no one like Dame Agatha! Thank you so much for watching. Aloha friend.

[@lindysmagpiereads]

Maya, your enthusiasm for these books is a joy to hear. I agree that the best books are those that give me more on rereading. Shani Mootoo, Helen Humphreys & Jeanette Winterson come to mind as authors that make me happy and whose books stand up to multiple reads.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Hi Lindy, I love Jeanette Winterson and want to reread her. I will look up the other authors you mentioned. Aloha friend.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Marilyn. I LOVE this idea of you talking about books that you both enjoy and admire. I, too, am a huge Jane Austen fan. I used to teach Pride and Prejudice every year, so that is probably the novel of hers that I know the best. I have also always loved Emma. I've also loved all of the Agatha Christie that I have read, but I certainly haven't read as much of her as you have. I need to revisit Barbara Pym. I read some of her novels long ago. I had no idea that Betty Smith wrote so many novels. What I LOVE about this video is the sheer joy that you exude when you talk about these authors and their books and the joy that they bring you! Have a lovely weekend, my friend!🥰

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Thank you, Pat, it was wonderful, taking all my books down and showing them. I don’t have as many books as other creators, but the books I showed are my treasures. Aloha friend.

I love anything by Fannie Flagg !

I have read 12 Barbara Pym books, they are so wonderful! This past month I read 3 in a row. What fun!

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

I agree that Barbara Pym’s books are wonderful! in the last two months, I’ve read three of her books. I did not know she had 12 books. I’m excited to get to the ones I’ve missed. Thank you so much for watching. Aloha friend.

[@artandbooks5850]

If you haven’t read Crampton Hodnet yet, I highly recommend! It’s quite funny and endearing.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

@@artandbooks5850 that’s one of the first Barbara Pym books I read. I didn’t really understand the setting and culture. I definitely want to reread it. Thank you for reminding me of Crampton Hodnet. Aloha and thanks for watching.

[@bjminton2698]

A very interesting video! AC is the only one of your 5 that I have read. I'm in the queue for the Woolworth one since you mentioned it in an earlier video. Thank you for the recommendations!

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Hi BJ, I hope you get some laughs from "Woolworth" though it's not really a funny book. BTW, I thank you for suggesting Deborah Crumbie I ordered some books by her at my library. I appreciate your friendship Aloha.

[@bjminton2698]

​@MarilynMayaMendoza Hope you like her!! I'm currently reading A Finer End - #7 in the series. If you could find it, you should start with A Share In Death. I appreciate you as well!! It's wonderful having book friends all around the world 🥰.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

@@bjminton2698 thanks BJ. I think that’s the one I ordered from my library, but I’ll check. Appreciate you always, aloha friend.

[@patrinedornbusch874]

LOVE Barbara Pym. Reading Jane and Prudence now, and have read most of hers. I also am a huge fan of Betty Smith and Jane Austin. I own tomorrow will be better, but haven’t read yet. I thought Maggie Now was a sequel to ATGIB.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Hello Patrine, Wow! I love that you read Betty Smith's other books. Now I have to reread Maggie Now. I'm so happy we love the same authors. Jane and Prudence is a wonderful book. Enjoy! And thank you for watching. Aloha friend.
