◦ Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Lit at Leiden University (also in the Netherlands), studied in the US for 3 months and have lots of American friends. Now that I live in London, I still mostly have my American accent, but with lots of British vocab mixed in.

I did publishing work experience on 3 different occasions, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running my TH-cam channel for 8 years. P.s. you don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing.

I’ve never been to Haworth and once I’ve finished my Jane Austen pilgrimages I will finally get to Haworth. We only go abroad once in a blue moon as I love uk travel. Next year is my first time at a Jane Austen festival ( if I get the time off work) and Lyme Regis which will include a trip to greenway (agatha Christie) 2025 is Derbyshire. I’m behind on my ja pilgrimage cos of covid getting in the way but we did do Lincolnshire and stayed at old teigh rectory ( hunsford 1995) for 3 days only but so glad we did it as the wallpapers gone from the sitting room x
Finally got a chance to sit down and absorb this whole thing in all it's glory and loved it! So beautifully shot and hearing more about the sisters makes me love the film Emily even more! x
I found Villette hard-going and I've a degree in English literature. I really enjoyed The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and also Agnes Grey. Anne Bronte deserves to be much better known as a writer.
Wow such a lovely tribute to the talented Bronte sisters! Their writing and artistry are truly amazing. I really enjoyed watching this. 😍
I had no idea that area would be so beautiful. I had something rather bleak in mind. That was long ago though, when I read Wuthering Heights. Time for a reread.
This was my absolute dream trip to Yorkshire and an excellent first step in my Brontë reading challenge! If you have any requests for my future 'Guide to Haworth' video, leave 'em below. - Sanne
Aww this it’s part of the city where I live! I’m glad you enjoyed some of the loveliest parts of Yorkshire if you ever need a guide feel free to reach out ❤️
Thank you for sharing your Lively trip! I loved it!😊
oh my goodness this is so beautiful🥹!! I’m from Yorkshire and visited Haworth a few months ago. keep being you and appreciating the beauty of books 🤍✨📖
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience :) If I were to visit England, I definitely want to visit Yorkshire!
This was so interesting was so thoroughly engaged and I really haven’t felt that for years. Thank you for this content! Absolutely subscribed ❤
Lovely! We listened to the audiobook of Hound of the Baskervilles for the first time in Dartmoor. You're right the place brings it to life. And the South West is stunning 😍
so beautiful
You can hide the stains on the handkerchiefs by dyeing with black tea and you'll have that lovely old off-white lace colour.
So weird seeing you around Haworth and on the moors because I grew up around there and live just ten minutes away! If you do come again I would recommend a walk up to the stanza stones, there's I think 5-6 sets of them around the area, inspired by the Brontes' influence.
i absolutely LOVE it in haworth. my absolute favourite place in the world, wuthering heights is also my favourite book !!!!! i loved this video.
I'm a huge fan of the Brontës sisters; I read and studied all of their work during my Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Language and Literature and even wrote my dissertation on their stylistic way of writing. I can only say I love your video, this is a trip I will definitely do sometime in the future!
That place looks so beautiful. I can't wait to visit one day. I'm from Australia and it's on my bucket list :)
Thank you for this video. Perfect season for this ❤
Hi there
Thank you for sharing the lovely views, I love Howarth I live in West Yorkshire and so I do visit alot, for those that do not know this but Howarth isn,t very big and so you can do alot in one day, plus if you are on your own its a lovely place to visit by yourself, there are so many places to eat and lots of lovely shops and the parsonage too, with a ittle garden and you can go for nice walks and a huge park to visit, once agin this was lovely and thank you for sharing Howarth with us xxxx
wonderful!!!
I absolutely adored this video. Really well curated. ❤
Thank you for this very beautiful video :)
Great video ! Thank you :)
What a lovely video you've made Sanne 😊✨
I read Villette as part of a Narcissism in Literature class and it was exactly the book I needed at the time. I was going through growing pains very similar to the main character so I found the book riveting. However, I recognize that that was probably an unusual way to read the book so it is interesting to hear your take! Thanks for this video!
I almost chose Wuthering Heights for my English degree seminar paper because I love it so much but ended up choosing The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to give Anne some love. I loved that book-you can see how unshy Anne really was about her thoughts!
This is balm to my soul 😊
Wow…what an amazing idea. Thank you for the video. *ENJOY*
Ah, this was such a beautiful video. x
Stunning video! 😍 I really want to visit Haworth!
These are dream travel trips. So glad you made a video of it
Loved this video, such a gorgeous place you went to, thank you for letting us travel along with you on this trip as well as with your Brontë reading journey. Interesting to here what you think about the other books. And looking forward to the Edinburgh videos!
We read the book in high school and I've seen the movie (1992 version) ..I'm obsessed. Your upcoming trip makes this such a magical time for a re-read :))) yaaaaay!!!
Brand new subscriber here...loved this video on so many levels...your voice and pacing was perfect...also enjoyed the picture you painted by the creek..sweet..:)
Thank you for this enchanting video! I studied Jane Eyre in uni, and it is till this day one of my favorite novels ever. I will definitely go there someday also!
I’ve also been to their house. I went after watching ‘To walk Invisible’. Have you seen it? It’s very good. X
I rewatched it during my last visit and it’s so beautiful!
Your video is the best one I've found about Haworth. I would love to visit someday and considering your trip for my 40th birthday if the stars align.
Wat een prachtige vlog (-:
Love it there ❤
So beautiful! Any favourite spots you’d recommend?
Such a lovely video! I haven't read anything by the Brontë Sisters but I am currently reading the Dutch book Het Lied van Ooievaar en Dromedaris van Anjet Daantje which is a fiction book inspired by the work and live of the sisters and specifically Emily, like a fictional biography if that is a thing based on a lot of research. It is a big book but I am loving it, I am now prosponing reading the last chapter because I don't want it to be over hahah. I would definitely recommend it! (only in Dutch sadly as far as I know)
Oh wow!! I've seen this around in Dutch bookshops (and thought it looked beautiful) but had no idea what it was about. Definitely picking that up next time I'm visiting the Netherlands, thank you!
@@booksandquills haha the cover is what drawed me in as well! Would love to hear your thoughts on it when you have read it!
I’ve never seen or read wuthering heights and never read Jane Eyre but have seen many versions and even a lovely play up in London twenty/ thirty years ago x but am going through the Anne of Green gables series as I only ever read Anne’s House of dreams back in the 80’s. But I’m glad there are some books I’ve yet to read for the first time ever x
Really nice video. Thanks a lot. I've read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, absolutely amazing books.
Amazing video , what a dream journey😍 your aquarelles are so delicate and beautiful. ( sorry for my English it’s not my first language 😅)
I'm very lucky to live in Haworth it is an amazing place to live.
I’m going to Haworth for 3 nights at the beginning of November and this has made me so excited! The itv Wuthering Heights adaptation is my absolute favourite and I had no idea you could visit where it was filmed so thank you so much for mentioning this, will definitely give it a visit! 😄😆
Yay, have a blast!
Enjoy, I live in Haworth
Wonderful video! As an Anglophile trapped in the United States videos like this can tide me over until I can finally make the trip myself.
Also, sorry you didn’t like ‘Villette’ as much. It takes awhile to get going but I remember it building to quite a powerful and melancholic love story.
If you haven’t read “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,” I’d recommend that one next.
I love this video so much! I feel like it's the intersection of all of my interests haha. Love your appreciation for the English landscape, I would highly recommend the Northumberland coast if you haven't been (most beautiful beaches in England imo)
What a beautiful trip and video, I now need to go back to my Bronte shelf and re-read some of the books ☺
Thank you! What’s your favourite or the bunch?
At the moment The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - great discovery and loved the main character! @@booksandquills
Oh my God! I am currently reading Wuthering heights for the first time and watched some trailers, then I bumped on your video and it was magical. Your hair color, autumn colors. Thank you so so much.
Thank you! ❤ Hope you enjoy the book, I wish I could read it for the first time again!
@@booksandquills Before I was really hooked by the book I made 2 attempts to read it but was putting the book away as soon as Nelly was starting the narrative, in the very beginning. The timing for a book was not perfect. This year I made a 3rd attempt and I am thrilled to see what happens next.
I'm currently reading Villette to. It's my penultimate Bronte novel, after this I only have The professor left! I really enjoy Lucy snows character, she is so crass and unbending. I can't believe this was written in the 1850´s! I think you would love the Tenant of Wildfell Hall as your next read. I really enjoyed the perspective shift and structure of the book and that the main character is a painter 🎨✨
So exciting! Have you saved The Professor as the last book on purpose? And thanks for the vote for Tenant!
@@booksandquills No, I think it just ended up being the last because it's the one I've heard the least about. If I'm not mistaken it's kind of similar to Villette, so I think it will be a while until I get to it. Also it's nice to have one last to look forward to. :)
I read the Tenant of Wildfell Hall last summer and of the 3 Brontë books I have read that one was my favorite so far!
@@markie6949 Perfect! I'll have to do some sort of ranking at the end :D
The trip sounds so awsome but the price.... CRAZY! You could travel to French Polynesia with this amount of money :0
Beautiful colour hair
I envy you. What
a creative talent.
Beautiful! Can you please share which watercolor diary you are using?
I was wondering the same thing and am searching the comments to see if she answered 😅
It's the Royal Talens Art Creation Sketchbook (12x12). I prefer the Moleskin Watercolour sketchbook, but it's twice the size, so I use this one on the go as a more budget friendly alternative.
Thank you! @@booksandquills
That's one of my dreams :)
Hi. This was a really interesting video. I love the Brontes work too. I was interesting to hear your thoughts on the myths and on how loaded a biography can be. Have you read Mrs Gaskell's biography of Charlotte? It's interesting to consider her bias as a friend of Charlotte's.
Also, Branwell has written some very interesting work. Have you read anything of his?
I've only read Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and the two books I read in this video, so lots to explore still. Thanks for the recommendations!
Read tenent of wildfell hall for sure ❤
ok totally off topic but the name sanne is so beautiful!
Many places people are waiting like minded good natures .
This was soothing. And what a gorgeous woman you are.
I love watching all of your videos. I was just wondering how did you get to Haworth? When I went I stayed in Bradford then had to get two buses from there to get to Haworth. I'd also love to know where you recommend staying in Haworth?
Thank you! There’s a pretty fast ‘Brontë bus’ from Keighley station (which is easy to reach from London by train). And there’s loads of accommodation choice in Haworth, from hotels to cottages and AirBnbs depending on your budget and vibe. But I’d recommend top of the street 😉
@@booksandquills Thanks so much. I may go to Haworth again at some point as I would like to walk round the moors to the waterfall and the Wuthering Heights setting. I didn't get to go to either of those places when I last went there
Love your silver necklace! Could you please tell where is it from? Great and cozy video as always xx
Thank you, I love it so much! It's a pebble pendant from SnootyOoty on Etsy. It's sold out, but you could always message her to ask if she'd make more (and I added my own chain to it).
You can see the necklace if you go to her previous orders on Etsy btw!
Thank you so much!
I am going to York next week and we wanted to visit the Peraonage. Do you have any tips how to get there without a car?
I do actually! There's a whole blog post about it at booksandquills.co.uk (as I don't drive either!) :) But the summary is: take the train to Keighley and then there's a bus straight to Haworth.
If you get a train to Keighley you'd have to then get a taxi or bus to Haworth, I live in Haworth!
Via welke app luister je naar audioboeken?
Villette: set in Belgium, & not France. Based on Charlotte Bronte's experiences when living in Brussels,also not France.
