i like the sun beams!
the stacey d'erasmo book is definitely interesting to me -- thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Sophie, Fantastic. I had you in mind! 🥰🥰.
Just finished "The Wager" by Grann. Out just last year and apparently Scorsese and Dicaprio are already planning a movie. ....... Ah, 1974, I remember it well. I was in third grade, and I admired all you fourth graders for being so poised and erudite with your advanced reading skills. Things really haven't changed.
I’ve heard The Wager is propulsive! Oh, you crack me up!
i actually always love the sun beams in your car! they give you a more-than-wonderful glow than usual!
loved that you picked up the Gabbert again! would love to know if your thoughts on it shift/change!
Thanks! Oh, yes! The Gabbert book is so much more RICH in physical form. I’m taking notes!
these chats always make me want to go wander around the library!! i meant to pick up to the lighthouse this summer but i haven’t gotten to it yet!! also those peanut butter crackers are one of my family’s go to road trip snacks hahaha
Cass, yes! I feel the same way when I watch a book haul. I want to immediately jump in the car!
So glad you liked Diana. Athill. Her biographies are written in four parts all really great. I think they are combined in one larger volume. Enjoy.
Ooh I’m so glad to know that, 🥰🥰
Renee! Thank you for the shout out! It was so unexpected and very kind of you 😊 I always find the most interesting recommendations through your channel so I’m glad you find my videos do the same for you!
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the Diana Athill book, as I added it to my tbr from seeing you talk about it in your previous video.
(Btw, my first name is actually Inger, Louise is my middle name 😄 but I’m happy to go by either)
Inger, Oh no!! What a mistake. I’m SO sorry. I should not have assumed. I’m going to try and make the correction in my next video. Ugh! You are very welcome!
@@thelefthandedreader6632 Don’t worry about it! It’s not a very common name, so I know it can be confusing.
1974 is a definite find on my library and Dont look at me like that!! - still reading Giovannis Room, and listening to Tom Lake by A Patchett - 😊
Oh, yay! Giovanni’s Room 🥰🥰🥰
