@@LeanneRose i was born in 2007 💀 but the jacqueline wilson books were and still are an enormous part of my childhood. in primary school i literally made characters like hetty feather and tracy beaker my whole personality!!!! but i loved it
This was a lovely vlog :) I've never read anything by that author, but it's always interesting to see someone revisit books from their childhood. Especially when you're an adult and having a different understanding for the parents. Also new author's notes in a reprint is always something I appreciate, how they view their own work a few years later :D
I am OBSESSED with the pink section of your wardrobe. I agree Marigold is SO frustrating and some of the things she does are unforgivable. I think it's clear she is so desperate to find Mickey because she wants support so badly and, I feel it. She definitely knows she is doing wrong but her brain just isn't letting her think of the consequences. HAHAHA the underwear dilemma living at home. My dad did get bashful about my lacy knicks when I was home but I am somehow completely unabashed by it all. I love this vlog so much. There is so much problematic stuff in JW's books and I'm not sure how I feel about them as an adult. Because part of me is like, 'yes, that's how people are really treated and really talk', but then again I'm like 'you're not being explicitly critical of this language or point of view so are you just allowing this behaviour to continue?'
Hahah this comment made me lol so much! And I do own more than pink clothes 🥺 but they’re all in boxes 😂 I’m definitely glad I made the aesthetic decision to just display the pink ones though, it suits the vibe of my bedroom 😊
I'm missing Wilsathon so much!!! Lowkey glad I fell behind on booktube watching and I'm only just watching this now so I'm getting to re-live all the Wilson magic
Jacqueline Wilson WAS my childhood!!! I want to do this ahhh I wish I'd known about this sooner!!! Wagonwheels! Ahhh the nostalgia this vlog gave me..............
Love your new office, enjoyed this vlog! This lockdown is definitely hard, especially with the end looking like it’s going to stretch past March 😭 at least the days will be getting longer and that might help a bit
i loved the idea of this readathon, so much nostalgia and lovely memories wrapped up with Jacqueline Wilson books. your comment on authors notes sounds like such a good idea when it comes to her books. I actually never read the Illustrated Mum so i would really like to pick that up one day. i’m also looking for books with good mental health rep.
I used to watch tracy beaker returns and the dumping ground when lily was in it. When lily alone came out I always used to think it was about that lily
My Mum Tracy Beaker implies that Lily was one of the girls Cam fostered after Tracy. It mentioned she was missing her sisters and brother and it stated she eventually went back to her mother.
This was so gloriously nostalgic and I loved it! Also, the fact that you were nine in 2005 makes me feel so OLD! 😂👵🏼
I recently met someone born in 2003 and that made me feel old 😭😂

I must be a year older than you, since I turned ten in January 2005.

It was definitely an interesting reading experience!

The nostalgia was so real, what a wonderful reading week it was ☺️
Ah you did so well, the wagon wheels were a blast from the past!
The yummiest snack!
I think reprints with author notes and resources is an absolutely stellar idea ❤
Doubleday need to make it happen and credit me with the idea

It was such a fun reading week! It gave me a lot of comfort in a strange time ☺️

The longer daylight hours have helped me SO MUCH
I wish I had Jacqueline Wilson books

I’d definitely recommend The Illustrated Mum, especially as I’ve heard such positive reviews from bipolar readers!
omg all of the nostalgia!!!
catching up with your videos now, and this makes me doubly nostalgic, for both childhood AND the wilsathon, ugh!!
It was such a fun reading week!

I only have one I only have two but they're not really reading books there is an annual and a writing book
I’ve never heard of this author! Also I haven’t been brave enough to reread some childhood faves because I feel like they’ll be ruined forever ahhaha
I feel very fortunate that I still enjoyed all of these!
I think I'd be afraid of reading Love Lessons now - I do remember thinking it was all wrong though when I read it as a child.
I think I remembered it being more detailed than it was! I think my imagination must have filled in a lot of gaps
Omg your MUG I’m obsessed
lily alone sounds a bit like that british coming of age film “rocks”, its currently on netflix
Oooh I’ll have to check it out! Thank you for mentioning it ☺️
How do you read so fast
OMG NO 10 seconds later THE MUG IS BROKEN
Hahahahhah this made me laugh SO MUCH 😂😂😂
