    On the theme of hotels I recommend the book The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden. Its about some siblings who end up spending a summer at a French Hotel alone because their mother gets sick as soon as they arrive. It was written in the 1950s so it feels like it should be middle grade or young adult fiction because of the age of the protagonists but is oddly not quite that.

      6) Zephaniah declares a black man of Cush (horn of Africa) is getting a sword, so not clear, but accurate.
      Zephaniah 2:12
      So is there any man who had two times (a firm week) to cause WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology Tour with a finish of kissing the ring of the Saudi prince over the Ka’aba in Mecca? Is there any man who changed the region of the first (Sumer, Mesopotamia, the Middle East) by Arab Spring? Is there any man who removed three kings in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia in 29 days (less than a month) in 2011 during the Arab Spring? When Egypt declared the elections after were rigged and wanted to do re-election, but did they not do it as they were told, if they did all American monetary support would be taken away from Egypt? Was the desire of American women denied in the sense they never got Hillary Clinton and certainly if the world comes to a close in the next 7 months they won’t ever get a female President like Kamala Harris (and thank God for that)? Did he put a piece of paper into the Wailing Wall, so grain offering in the “wing” of the Jewish temple? Was he ruined to prosper in the sense hatred grew under the timeframe of Donald Trump? Did we make it through both his times and the cut off time with no serious issues for Jews in America or in Israel? Did Jacob’s trouble begin in the midst of a week of an image of his time? Is the world choosing to hate Israel after October 7th, 2023? Do people scream for peace when if it is achieved it is unlikely as West Bank and Gaza Strip have finally been shown how to have a Glory in Islam over Israel? If Gaza Strip gets peace would they attack again, and if they did would West Bank watch the second time and want no glory for themselves?
      1) BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA - (the firm week) of 8 years
      First time as 2009-2012 - Second time 2013-2016
      2) DONALD TRUMP - The Cut-Off time
      2017-2020
      3) JOE BIDEN - an image of a beast time, in the midst of a week, of an image of his time, desolation in Jerusalem to spread to all the world - for then cometh Annihilation, the perishing of the end.
      SO WHAT IS THE STORY THAT PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW???
      Amos 1:6-7 “For thus saith Yahweh, “for three transgressions of Gaza, four, I will not revoke being against: they capture people at peace with them (1) and bring them to be shut up (2), bloody (3). And send fire over the wall of Gaza (4), and consume all of the citadels.”
      Habakkuk 1:9-11 "All come, Hamas, assemble the horde of the east, gather the captives like sand. Mock the ruler, and their judgment a joke, laugh as all strongholds become rubble, seize them, then pass through like the wind, pass through guilty by the strength of your god.”
      Obadiah 1:10-11 “from out of Hamas, your brother, a deceiver, cover your shame, and you will be cut off forever. In that day you stood afar, on the day the strangers were carried away in strength. And the stranger entered to cast lots for Jerusalem, then you were one of them.”
      John 5:43 “I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”
      Luke 10:18 “and He (Jesus) said, “I saw Satan as Barack Obama.”
      Micah 6:16 "It is owed unto America, and all who work the deed and the house Ahaz ("he has grasp the ten") and watch and keep you with their strange counsel. Walk in it for the purpose; I will give you up to desolation. And your inhabitants shall be a derision, for you will bear and be a reproach my people."
      Hosea 10:10 “It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows (West Bank and Gaza Strip).”
      Obadiah 1:12-13 “Do not gloat over your brother’s day of taking strangers captive, nor rejoice in the day the sons of Judah are destroyed, do not boast in the day of distress. You should never enter at the gate of My people, in the day of their distress. Moreover do not gloat over their calamity in the day of their disaster, sending wealth in the day of disaster.”
      Hosea 7:16 “Return ALLAH, deceive to ensnare their princes (the ten idiots from the remains of the Ottoman Empire who already had to deal with Arab Spring and the removal of kings in one month in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia), they shall fall by the sword of an insolent tongue, they mocking in the land of Egypt”
      Luke 17:24 “Only as Barack Obama exits heavens in one part and then thus exalts (Allah) Obama, then doeth the Son of man have His day.”
      Isaiah 14:14 "Allah Obama ab dama elyown."
      Habakkuk 3:11-13 "From the east the crescent stood at the heights, walking in the light of the weapons, the radiance of Barack (Husein Obama) from the thrust. There is indignation at his march on the Earth; in anger he trampled the nations. He went forth for the salvation of his people; for the salvation he's anointed. Now strike the head of the house of the wicked; lay him open from thigh to neck, commune with the Lifted High."

I also need to do something like this because working on my thesis has been making reading hard and I have nine books I've been trying to finish for months.

    You should pick up Hotel Silence by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir. The author is Icelandic and it’s set at a somewhat dilapidated hotel. The hotel really features in the book and I love Ólafsdóttir’s work.

    Another hotel novel recommendation; "Hotel 21" by Senta Rich. This novel is not groundbreaking, or beautifully written, but just a fun time. A popcorn read, that might be too much on the nose with its messages. But it is set in multiple hotels. Sometimes all you want is just an easy, fast-paced book.
    "Noelle is an efficient and friendly hotel cleaner, a model employee. Or so she'd have you think. The trouble is that she can't help taking a little 'souvenir' as she cleans. Nothing of value, just tokens of happy, normal lives: a lipstick, a hair clip, some tweezers. And by the time the guest has noticed, she's long gone.
    As she starts at her 21st hotel, she's determined to beat her record of one month in a five star hotel before suspicion falls on her. But when she meets her new colleagues, her plans are complicated. These women aren't just hands pushing carts down lonely hotel corridors: they are women with lives full of happiness and worry, pain and joy. The kind of lives Noelle has never known how to live. They make her wonder what it might be like to have real friends, people to stick around for."

    happy early birthday fellow july bday haver and vegan book reader! whenever you get around to "how do you live" would be keen to get your thoughts as i am unsure if i like it. would also recommend for snowy reading "miss iceland" by audur ava olafsdottir and for spring reading "swanfolk" by kristin omarsdottir (admittedly being in sydney means a colder birthday rather than a hot one like in canda!)

    Return of the King has a great structure: You know that Sauron will fall but you cannot guess what the effect will be on Sam and Frodo nor which heroes will survive. Then when you discover the answer to those questions (What will happen? What must happen?) you realize there is still quite a lot left to read! Personally, I very much liked the Sharkey story, even if it does seem somewhat contrived and twisted. A good twist is very hard to foresee but after it's revealed you think 'O yeah, that makes sense.' Thanks Emma, enjoyed - happy birthday.

    EMMMAAA!! I recently stumbled upon a rather obscure title which SCREAMED your name because it had two of your favourite elements: hotels and snow! It also has the dead haunting the living, a theme I’ve seen you explore in your reading. It’s called “The Children of the Dead” by Elfriede Jelinek

    Question: Have you ever read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke???

    I absolutely love your channel, and find I share a deep love of some of your favorite books--especially Anne of Green Gables and War and Peace. But how is it possible that I haven't heard you mention Wind in the Willows? In the unabridged form, this is so much more than a children's book. The writing is absolutely gorgeous, and you will especially love the cozy winter scene at the badger's house. Someone (wish I remembered who) wrote that The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the most beautiful chapter ever written in the English language, and I couldn't agree more. If you've covered this book, please tell me where, and if you haven't, hope you will do yourself a favor and read it. It will make you happy.
