Fun fact: the basement of Jane Austen’s townhouse at Sydney Gardens in Bath is an AirBnB and you can stay there! Part of the wall is the original fire place/oven, so you can stand where Jane might have stood to brew the tea ☺️
The "I don't want her to die" feeling!! I felt that when I read the letters of Shirley Jackson. The closer I got to the end I kept feeling like "Oh no. One of these is gonna be the last letter, and it's going to be because she died."
if anyone is interested, John Green’s TH-cam channel has several live videos so far of him signing copies of Everything is Tuberculosis, they’re each about an hour long and very calming/have chill vibes
I’m confident that you’ll enjoy Lucy Worsley’s “If Walls Could Talk: An Intimate History of the Home.”🏡Anyone who’s fascinated with the history of British houses might want to pick this one up. It’s full of interesting and amusing anecdotes rather than being a heavy academic treatise on the topic.😀
This feels like such a throwback to ariels old videos before the pod ☺ Its making me so nostalgic for that time on TH-cam and so grateful that now we get a weekly podcast 🥰🥰
It's understandable that you get Tove Jansson's nationality mixed up! Tove was Finnish-Swedish from Finland (a Swedish-speaking part of the population), and Swedish was her primary language that she also wrote in. Her father was Finnish-Swedish from Finland and her mother Swedish. Her first name is pronounced "Tooveh" like you're saying it, but her last name "Yaanson" (yawn-son) if you want to say that correctly too. 😃
Ariel!! The flashback when you mentioned Go Dog Go!! I had totally forgotten this book. I am much older than you and remember reading this book often when i was about 6 or 7. Thank you for having sparked this memory.❤
I had today off work and so I appreciate very much your efforts to cover this episode, Ariel ! It would have been a little sad to be without my books unbound fix today specially, thank you
❤❤ it would be amazing if you could Interview Lucy Worsley. ❤❤ Your emotion of her narrating and research moved me. I have just downloaded both her Jane Austen and Home books. Thanks for updating us on Raeleen making it to her new beginnings. Epi isn't the same without Raeleen. But I am so appreciative that you did a solo...its always a sad Monday when there's no Books Unbound. Thank you
This was a beautiful episode. Thank you for keeping me company as I lay in bed with Covid. You made me feel a little better and have convinced me to buy the Jane Austen biography.
I want take a moment to sincerely thank you. I picked up Patrick Bringley's book per your recommendation and it is an immediate favorite. I am chewing through it with such vim and vigor to the point that I bought a copy for my mom and her best friend so that I would have people to discuss the book with. Thanks again!
Week (who keeps track anymore) of helping Ariel to find her new favorite graphic novel: I thinkg 'About Betty's Boob' by Vero Cazot will be a win for you!
Nice work on the pod! You did a great job, loved the booktag and I'd been looking for books of other people with Chronic Fatigue after being diagnosed myself so thank you for the recommendation on Wild Snails Eating I will check it out. Glad to hear Raeleen's move went well and I have to say I was little bit nervous to see you alone after weeks ago you both saying you wouldn't continue to do the pod alone. I thought we were getting some kind of upsetting public service accouncement haha! What relief that is not the case!! See you both next week the girl gang back together again haha 🤗
~Brontë and Cornbread ~ Hey, long time listener! (Way back from the early booktube days). Looking for an interesting Brontë bio. Since Jane Eyre is my favorite book, I recently named my daughter after its author. Also, I have been thinking about the corn bread recipe from several episodes back… I know. I know. I’ve been thinking about cornbread for way too long. Someone mentioned using Jiffy mix… it’s more of a sweet cake taste and texture. I’m from Mississippi, and I use an even simpler recipe that works great for soups and chili. All you need is an iron skillet, canola oil, self rising corn meal, and buttermilk. Pour a thin layer of oil into skillet. Mix corn meal and buttermilk into a bowl. Measure with your heart until you have a thick paste. Pour into skillet and bake on 350 until top is golden. Jalapeños can be added in mixture too. ❤❤❤
Thanks Ariel! This ep was really fun ❤. I reeeally want you to read the graphic novel The Magic fish by Trung Le Nguyen. The art is so beautiful and the story so heartwarming but also has just the right amount of struggle.
You are so right with your recc about The True Deceiver! I'm a lunar person (now that I think of it) and this book continues to stay with me (haunt me?) since I read it at the original recc! Kat wasn't wrong 😂. This is a deceptively powerful little book. Loved this solo edition and also looking forward to Raylene's return. Glad to hear she's settling in well! Cheers, Ariel!
One Hundred Years of Solitude…I just don’t enjoy trying to learn about all these random characters and nonsensical events… I’m probably missing something that everyone else is getting
Mansfield Park is my favourite Austen. It's the only book that slightly touches on slavery and how those lords got all their money. It also reminds me a little of the blue castle a little!
Yes! And the scene between the sisters regarding the little knife is a book scene that stayed with me . Fanny is stronger than most people think . Patient and thoughtful.
omg i loved magic tree house!!! My favourite ones were the one with the panda, the one with mozart and the one with the penguins.i used to request them from the library all the way to book 40 or so
I second this! I listened to The Hobbit and the LOTR Trilogy by Andy Serkis! Oh my goodness, that man is ridiculously talented! Sounded like a full cast production, rather than a 1 man show - amazing!🤩
I 100% recommend the book A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa, it’s written in memoir style about the authors journey researching an 18th century poem and the woman who wrote it, it’s her research and her feelings about the research, one of the best books I’ve read all year! Just incredible!
Totally agree with you about Emma 2020 and I would also love another Autumn de Wilde adaptation! But I think I’d vote for Persuasion bc that’s one of my favourite Austens and the most recent one was a complete disaster. Also lived most of my life in southern Ontario and the dead mall analogy is spot on 😅 definitely gonna check out that book.
Great job on the solo ep! In the future if one of you needs to take a week off, we the listeners I’m sure would love a guest like a friend or family member. Just an idea!
You blew my mind with that comment about the magic treehouse kids maybe just playing pretend. In the stories I think they believed it was real, but thats a genius take on it!

Such a good job on the solo ep, Ariel! I appreciate you taking it on, because it was fun to still have my Monday routine of listening to the pod😊❤

I love how juicy that juicy news was! Live on the pod!
I don't think I can ever hear the word 'industrious' again without thinking of Ariel. That's a good thing.

I ordered it a few days ago when I finished the biography hahaha
@@ArielBissett Excellent!😁
Ordered! 😄 (also ordered The Magic Treehouse and Jen's book) 👍
Nice job soloing on the pod!
Great job with this episode! Loved it. Also this red sweater suits you so well ❤
This feels like such a throwback to ariels old videos before the pod ☺ Its making me so nostalgic for that time on TH-cam and so grateful that now we get a weekly podcast 🥰🥰
The mug is amazing, so for the first time I bought merch! Also got the beanie, because amazing. 🎉

Tove Jansson was a swedish speaking finn so she is from Finland but wrote in swedish!
Thank you for keeping me company! I love the washi tapes, so cute and I love how they match the video frame design.

Saving this for tonight, these make my Mondays sm better, missing Raeleen ofc ☺️

I don’t know if its the lighting or if you did dye your hair a shade darker. But it looks very nice! Especially with the lovely red sweater! ❤

Ariel has finally made it to her Autobiography era! She has been trying for years now and I love to see her succeed!
Southern Ontario being described as a dead mall is so funny and real
You really made me want to read/listen to the Lucy Worsley Austen book! Great solo pod!
Wonderful job.
Bravo, you did a great job❤
Some authors are bad narrators, but Lucy Worsley is a great narrator!

omg i loved magic tree house!!! My favourite ones were the one with the panda, the one with mozart and the one with the penguins.i used to request them from the library all the way to book 40 or so
best friend character: Anne Shirley for sure!
Ariel and hank and John are the only TH-camrs I follow religiously so this IS JUICY NEWS
Lucy Worsley is the best! She did a really good documentary called Empire of the Tsars. ❤
I agree! I've seen almost all her documentaries and read most of her books. I wish she'd been my history teacher.😄
Highly recommend the audiobooks for Lord of the rings narrated by Andy Serkis
I second this! I listened to The Hobbit and the LOTR Trilogy by Andy Serkis! Oh my goodness, that man is ridiculously talented! Sounded like a full cast production, rather than a 1 man show - amazing!🤩
I can highly recommend The Lord of the Rings audiobook read by Andy Serkis! It feels like watching the movie in the super extended cut.
I 100% recommend the book A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa, it’s written in memoir style about the authors journey researching an 18th century poem and the woman who wrote it, it’s her research and her feelings about the research, one of the best books I’ve read all year!

Also lived most of my life in southern Ontario and the dead mall analogy is spot on 😅 definitely gonna check out that book.
I love the new mugs! Will you be selling them on the book truck, or are they mail order only?
Have you read “Fun Home” by Alison Bechdel? It’s my favorite book of all time and it’s a graphic autobiography!
Great job on the solo ep! In the future if one of you needs to take a week off, we the listeners I’m sure would love a guest like a friend or family member. Just an idea!
I'm really looking forward to The Other Bennet Sister about Mary Bennet and also there's a new Jane Austen biopic coming out
You blew my mind with that comment about the magic treehouse kids maybe just playing pretend. In the stories I think they believed it was real, but thats a genius take on it!
Omg! Screw all the goals and buddy read LOTR with your best friend/brother/employee of the month CJ!
I recommend Amina Cain’s A Horse At Night: On Writing
Imagine if Jane Austen lived till the ripe old age of 80. Hah, 41 is too young. She could have seen the world being shaped by her books.
I see Lucy is going on tour in 2025. Are you going to go try and meet her?
38:22 content creator is…interesting
🥰🥰🥰
Omg I so agree with you about Life of Pi. Ugh I dislike that story so much. I am an atheist though.
I could not finish The Life of Pi.
