    I’m intimated by bigger books as well and also prefer shorter books; like no more than 300 pages. I would love to be in wonderland having some tea as well lol 😂 love your choices

    i looooveeee the ocean at the end of the lane. i reread it last fall when i was going through something really upsetting and it helped comfort me. the scene where he stays inside the circle despite all the evil trying to tempt him out, that stuck with me. such a unique novel that is sad, nostalgic and just oddly inspiring.

  • @enchantedadventuresthrough3065
    @enchantedadventuresthrough3065 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got Summer of Salt with my huge Christmas haul. I was thinking of bringing it with me on the plane ride to California at the end of this year. I also have The Toy Makers, by Robert Dinsdale which I started a while ago and never continued. I'll have to start that one over because I remember nothing. Only 1 chapter so it's not that much to reread.
    I may end up buying a bunch of Neil Gaiman books in California. His name keeps popping up in so many videos I've been watching. I saw the Coraline movie and loved it despite being creepy in a way. I saw it in 3D and thought it was amazing.

    (PS: You seem hesitant about how Vianne is pronounced, so just in case you care it's " vee-anne", like in Brianna.)

    Summer of Salt is currently being offered on Kindle Unlimited! I’m going to add that one to my TBR. Also, Tuck Everlasting has been one of my favorite books for so many years and I feel like it doesn’t get the attention it deserves, so thanks for mentioning it. 😊

    I prefer short books, too.
    I feel a lot of people have less time to simply sit and read, nowadays. My short book recommendations are: Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck; Animal Farm, Orwell; Heart of Darkness, Conrad; Gatsby, Fitgerald; Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury; The Stranger, Albert Camus; Pnin, Nabokov; The Double, Dostoevsky.

    I have been wanting to pick up the Wayward Children series. I tend to read super long books, so picking up shorter books has been appealing to me lately. I just finished the whole Binit Trilogy and it was super short and really a great sci-fi world. Somehow I didn't know that Chocolat was a book, I loved the movie and now I want to get the book.
