    Hi Jack! 😊
    Thank you for the lovely reading vlog! It's great that these books helped bringing back your reading mood. Mine is a bit missing, so I think in the next months I'll try to pick up some fun and lighter reads, let's see how it goes. 😅
    I heard about what was happening in the UK on the news, it's really horrible but later on it was heartening to see people gather to stand against racism and against those violent pieces of garbage. Anti-immigrant sentiment is rampant here too, the government is always banging on about "protecting our borders", it makes me want to scream.
    Sending you the "super-duper bestest" vibes for the new job! Hope you're settling in well and feeling better!

      @@rie_violet hello my lovely friend!
      Sorry for the late reply! Ahhh I know it sucks when the reading mood is missing! I hope the fun, lighter reads help you find the reading! I’m thinking of doing the same thing!
      You are so right, while it was awful, it was heartening to see people stand against it. It restored my faith in humanity a tad.
      Thanks, so nervous but I’ll try my best! Thanks for watching and commenting as always. I appreciate it 😂

    Thanks for speaking up! Such things are important.
    I have to deal with similar issues in my country. It's just atrocious what is going on all over the world.

    I support a hard “no” …..like how a stressed parent makes stressed kids and then stressed adults -- it may be ideal for all the coworkers initially, but long term it’ll be bad for allllllll

    Because I somehow had this video still in my feed to watch, I didn't know that you actually haven't been happy about becoming a manager. You still can be proud that they offered this position to you. But I know how it feels if a certain job comes with responsibilities you are not keen on.

    Hi there, Sorry things in your country are a mess...I really had no idea until you mentioned it a few weeks ago. I avoid news & unpleasantness, so I always assumed everything in the UK was like the lovely baking shows that I watch from there. Delightful, polite people being nice to everyone! 🤷‍♂. Your description of things sounds similar to what we have in the US...a prominent outspoken narcissistic hate-monger has normalized racism and has a cultish following. I won't mention names, but it is quite upsetting. Re: the books..Don't take this wrong, but these 2 books were a bit disappointing..I know it's not your fault, but I think I expected them to be amazing. I have one Hollinghurst book on my shelf that I have never read (Folding Star). Good luck with the new job...allow yourself a few weeks to settle in before you decide how you feel about it. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Take care 🙂

      @@musicroom7185 hi my friend! Sorry if my rambling about politics upset you, but things are a mess here and I just can’t stop thinking about it. I wish it was like those baking shows 😂
      I know what you mean about the books! Maybe I built them up to much. Maybe my expectations were too high (have you noticed I do that a lot 😂).
      Thank you, I’m very scared about the job but we can only try! I hope you’re well my lovely friend! 😊

    I was also really affected by all the right wing fascists. I had to stop watching the news and limit my instagram and tik tok. 😢😢😢 Just made me so upset and angry.
    Sorry to hear you're unwell again, hope they can find out what's going on 😘😘
