    Honestly, Olive's videos are such a gem. Like where would someone like me get to know about such amazing books which are way underrated and overshadowed in mainstream book community. So thankful to each and everyone of her recommendations.

    Every single Sunday morning I wake up and turn to TH-cam for two reasons: To watch the CBS Sunday Morning News, and to watch Olive's book reviews. Last week I ran out and bought "Seinfeldia" on Olive's recommendation. Before I ever thought about being a writer, I was a passionate reader. So I can barely wait the seven days to see her funny, insightful reviews on my screen. And thanks for enjoying my books, Olive. I'll 'see you' next Sunday.

    Oooh! You should do a book vs movie video on Cinderella Man! You know, when you have the time. No rush. 😘

    I also recently learned about Alexander Graham Bell and the harm we did to the deaf community. Very interested in the Christmas Carol one, as I think a movie just came out last year with that same title.

    "The Children's Blizzard" is an excellent book. I mean, horrifying, but really well written. I love that you had a section of books on winter animals. Definitely interested in the reindeer one.

  • @heth300

    I always get really great book ideas from you especially books that I've never heard of.

    @wendyhoward2699 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Children’s Blizzard is really good. These all sound good. I don’t usually read a lot of non-fiction. I think that should be a goal for me in the coming year. Blessings.

    I saw Winterlust at a bookstore a few years ago and havent stopped thinking about how beautiful it is. I must get my hands on a copy.
    So many of these books sound up my alley. Looking forward to all your 2023 reviews!

  • @coffemuse
    @coffemuse ปีที่แล้ว

    I think I'm most excited about the sewing history one, and 'The Children's Blizzard' - which might be the same blizzard as that of 'The Long Winter' by Laura Ingalls Wilder?

    I love books about animals and I haven't read enough. I started getting some great recommendations from your channel and I'll make a list for the new year. Now, the nonfiction book I read about animals is a book I had bought long time ago and for some reason I got distracted by other books and never got to it. I'm trying to read and reread my room "library" along with any new books I'm getting, so here is #1. The Bird Way: A New Look at How Birds Talk, Work, Play, Parent, and Think by Jennifer Ackerman. I'm not too far along yet, but I find some of the information I didn't now about birds, which I love, and I enjoy it. #2. Girl in a Green Gown: The History and Mystery of the Arnolfini Portrait by Carola Hicks (almost done with this book). Another nonfiction about animals that I have on my bookshelves for well over a couple years and I plan to read starting New Year is Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins by Susan Casey. I don't even remember how or where I got this book, but I love Dolphins. I think a friend who doesn't read happen to have it and gave it to me.

    I read “SHOCKED” when it first came out and enjoyed it. There is a new illustrated coffee table style book that just came out “Shocking: The Surreal World of Elsa Schiaparelli.” Another excellent book on the child/parent dynamic is “Lies My Mother Never Told Me” by Kaylie Jones, the daughter of author James Jones.”Cinderella Man” was also an excellent movie with Russell Crowe & Renee Zellweger.

    The Man Who Invented Christmas was adapted into a 2017 movie starring Dan Stevens.

    Thanks again, Olive for a great video! I enjoy your NF recommendations as I don’t read a lot of it. I do have a goshawk book you may be interested in. It’s called Goshawk Summer by James Aldred. It was short-listed for (or won?) the Wainwright Prize for nature writing in the UK 2022.

  • @GloriaZThompson
    @GloriaZThompson ปีที่แล้ว

    Ooo, Zuleikha sounds like my kind of read as well! You are too sweet for the shoutout. When I saw that book, I just thought - Olive needs it in her life, ha! 🦉I love all these wintery-themed reads.

    Hi Olive! In Vino, I believe was also featured on the tv show The Con. Also, Cinderella Man the movie is fantastic w Russell Crowe - Have you seen it? I have favorited many of the others, great video - Happy Holidays!

    7:05 A homesteader in Alaska? Homesteads are already hard to maintain in places with moderate weather. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to maintain one in Alaska.

    Cinderella Man is so good. I read it around when the movie came out.

    Many thanks for yet another fantastic video. Have you ever read The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd? The Folio Society publish a beautiful edition of this wonderful book. Nan Shepherd was a Scottish writer, nature lover and mountain climber 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I really liked "The Family" by David Laskin

  • @librocrone
    @librocrone ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you heard about These Violet Delights by Micah Nemerever? It's sort of dark academia-adjacent thriller set in Pittsburgh in the 1970s. I really loved it, and I know you like local reads AND campus novels, so it might be something you'd like!

    Cinderella Man was made into a 2005 movie of the same name starring Russell Crowe. Wonderful movie.

    I have not read any of David Halberstam’s sports books, but he is the author of one of my favorite nonfiction books: _The Fifties,_ which explores the decade in which I was born. Have you read it?

  • @Kim_Traveling_in_Books
    @Kim_Traveling_in_Books ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Shelf Life was the very fist book I read in 2022. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    Are you planning to read The Children's Blizzard soon? I look forward to hearing about it, if so. There's actually a mural in the Nebraska state capitol building that commemorates a teacher who rescued her schoolkids from the snow.

  • @byronsbrain
    @byronsbrain ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for listing all of these books, I'm really interested in Shelf Life and the subversive stitch, I will also be adding the nature books, I haven't read a nature book in ages :)

  • @stargater2892
    @stargater2892 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for listing the books with links. I can only imagine it being a lot of work. (So few do it.). I was able to sit back and relax while watching.
    FYI: 2023 is a no buy year for me with one exception (Independent writer: Margaret Pinard.). I'm also doing away from mainstream fiction with all the swearing and now higher use of female genitalia. I've had enough.)
    I've enjoyed your channel, love NF and memoirs, and you do most of the weeding. I'm off to a great start I found Zuleikha at Hoopla and Scrib. I'm going to search for the two basketball players next.
    Happy Reading and much success.
