Belated happy birthday Jen! Lovely to treat yourself to so many John Wyndham books. I just bought Lucy Caldwell's first short story collection Intimacies, which I'm excited to read. How sad about Gboyega Odubanjo. I just read one of his poems online and definitely someone I'd like to read more from x
Happy Birthday Jen. I have literally just finished Pet and can’t stop thinking about it. The characters are superb. Hope you enjoy it. 2nd 5* of the year so far. The first being My Husband, which I loved.
Happy birthday! Pet is great, so readable. Part of my enjoyment came from the nostalgia factor - being a New Zealander. I hope you enjoy it. I also really enjoyed the Axeman's Carnival by her as well, not sure if that has been released overseas though. Like you say, very different but also a very NZ story.
Happy new year and happy birthday mrs Jen . Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American TH-cam channels. I didn’t send comments to you from your channel from very long time. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .
Happy birthday Jen! 🎉 I am definitely going to try to find John Wyndham's books in my local library 🤞 they all sound amazing. Have not read anything by him yet, but have seen the short series of Day of the Triffids, which I enjoyed. But books are usually much better than their adaptations for the big screen so am looking forward to reading his books!
Yes, I think his books are better, especially as some of the visuals can come across as a little silly when adapted; much easier to suspend your disbelief in written form! x
Very interesting! The Kraken Wakes reminds me quite a bit of The Swarm by Frank Schätzing, which is more of a sci/eco-thriller, a long time favourite of mine - I think I might have to read this and see how they compare!! Overall I really want to dive into his work, I didnt know he wrote so much
Happy Birthday to you! I think short stories may be your way forward this year, of course you'll be reading lots of kids books too. And oh, those John Wyndam editions, I think I need a matching set...
Monstrum sounds amazing. Before you finished talking about it I was racing off to look it up and add it to my list! Then you got to the part where you said it doesn't come out until May.... sigh. 🙃 Happy Birthday!
Adored both Pet and The Axeman’s Carnival by Catherine Chidgey - two completely different stories ( and released simultaneously here in NZ) - highly recommend 🤗
Happy Birthday! I am working my through John Wyndham. I am currently listening to Stowaway to Mars, and have read most of these except for the short stories and Plan for Chaos. I spent ages collecting these books awhile back. Glad to hear they are re-issued. It slightly frustrating however, since I had to hunt them down previously! At least I can replace the slightly damaged copies though!
Happy birthday Jen! Hope all is well. Very keen to get my hands on a copy of Pet at some point, and you’ve definitely piqued my interest in Fragile Animals. Had seen the cover doing the rounds but had no idea what it was about!
Happy Birthday Jen! I'm here for all the John Wyndham, I've listened to a couple of his on audiobook and they were compelling, one was Chocky. Looking forward to hearing what you think of them. They are on my TBR too.
Happy birthday! 🎉 I'm so intrigued by your Wyndham haul. I've only read Day of the Triffids in the past but I really enjoyed it, and his is definitely the vibe of sci-fi that I enjoy the most. I've got a reservation on at the library for Midwich Cuckoos after watching whichever one of your videos that featured in!
You in the intro: "Some of these titles might make you laugh if you've watched my recent videos" Me: "Omg, I bet she bought some extra backlist titles! I can't wait to see" 😂 I feel like it makes a lot of sense when it's an author where you've already loved several of their books, because it's likely you'll like some of the others too. And as you said, books are for life! (Not that there needs to be a reason to buy a book, ever, anyway 😄)
Happy Birthday! 🥳 I love that you got yourself those John Wyndham editions for your birthday. I adore the covers and now own and have read all of them. I’m not big on sci-fi and I rarely read books by men but for some reason I am just a huge fan of his. I agree with you that often his books feel strangely current and feel he writes women surprisingly well considering the time period and I never found him noticeably problematic. However, last year I read The Secret People (which was one of his earliest novels, granted) and I was so disappointed! As you didn’t haul this title I’m (maybe wrongly) assuming you haven’t read this one and whilst I feel like telling you not to bother I’d actually be really interested to hear your thoughts 😂 I just found it generally quite uncomfortable when it came to plot and language around race and colonisation and the ending actually made me so angry… Part of me was strongly hoping he wrote it very much as the characters having such views rather than them being ones he held himself, but I couldn’t decide if that was the case or not… Anyway, happy reading! For someone who is not the biggest lover of short stories, I thoroughly enjoyed his collections 🙂
Happy birthday 🎉 ❤

Glad to hear you loved it. x

Happy birthday and all the best! 🎉🍰📚
John Wyndham's books all sound so interesting. I am so excited to follow Jean. And to read Diane Oliver's books.
Happy Birthday!! ❤❤
Happy Birthday to you! I think short stories may be your way forward this year, of course you'll be reading lots of kids books too.

Ah, I'm sure May will be here soon enough x

Happy Birthday!❤ I really hope you will read and review Monstrum because it sounds great and I am very interested to hear your thoughts.
Happy birthday to you Jen! Pet sounds fantastic! Onto the TBR!
Happy Birthday Jen! I'm here for all the John Wyndham, I've listened to a couple of his on audiobook and they were compelling, one was Chocky. Looking forward to hearing what you think of them. They are on my TBR too.
It's frustrating that the best audiobook versions are Audible exclusives; they've got such brilliant casts! x
happy birthday, jen
thank you x
Happy birthday, dear Jen! As always I am putting all of these books on my wishlist, especially Monstrum.
Happy birthday! 🎉
I'm so intrigued by your Wyndham haul. I've only read Day of the Triffids in the past but I really enjoyed it, and his is definitely the vibe of sci-fi that I enjoy the most. I've got a reservation on at the library for Midwich Cuckoos after watching whichever one of your videos that featured in!
I hope you love it - be forewarned that the most recent TV adaptation is awful, so I'd recommend not bothering with that! x
@@jenvcampbell ohhh ok, that's good to know as it was half on my list!
Happy Birthday Jen, have a great day. The John Wyndham books sound intriguing. 😊🎂🥳
🎂🥂📚
Sorry to hear babe is hanging out in your rib cage and squishing your lungs...really enjoyed this, wishing you the best as always!
I enjoyed Pet whereas I have dnf'd others by the same author, so your comment about them all being so different makes sense.
Happy Birthday! I'm grateful for the Ukrainian subtitles; it means a lot! 🇺🇦

HAPPPPPYYYYYYYY BIRTHDAY BANSHEE BOSS BOOKTUBER 📖🪱💚

I did not enjoy the blurb of that book, so not one I wanted to pick up! x
Fragile Animals sounds good.
Doesn't it? :) x
I read PET late last year & liked it a lot , but it didn’t make my favorites list
