Hi Tanya, I got Rasputin's book and cannot wait to read it. Recently, I have bought and already read a book by a Bulgarian writer Victor Paskov called A Ballad for Georg Henig. It's about an old violin maker who sees how a new generation changes their approach to the craftsmanship. It's so beautiful it made me cry. I think you may like it.
Recently took advantage of NYRB sale of their publications . The World of Odysseus by M. I. Finley (USA); Paris Stories by Marie Gallant (Canada); Rock, Paper, Scissors by Maxim Osipov (Russia); Tarka the Otter by Henry Williamson (UK) and Three Summers by Margarita Liberaki (Greece). Very excited to read all of them. So far I have read Three Summers which I enjoyed very much. Very diverse purchase. Thank you for your channel and your suggestions. Look forward to your updates.
@Jolanta Kruk I so much hope you'll enjoy Rasputin! Let me know what you thought of it once you finish. A Ballad for Georg Henig sounds great. I'll try to find it because looks like it hasn't been published recently. Maybe I'll find it on ebay. It really does sound like something I'd adore
The idiot is my favorite novels from Feodor ( I read all of his novels :))!! The hero really touched me, he is fantastic , in France he is viewed of one of the first hero who fall into the autism spectrum in litterature. Look forward to your review.
i read memoirs of a polar bear last year and adored it! i wanna reread it though because the day i finished i had very high temperature and was too dizzy to focus hahahha
Such an interesting haul. Seeing Selma Lagerlöf made me smile from ear to ear 😃 I can’t relate to finding big books intimidating...because I’m quite the opposite. I find small books intimidating 😬. Even if they read quickly (sometimes) I always end up feeling cheated, the story always feels rushed and nothing is developed or allowed to breath. We only scratch on the surface of what could have been and we are told rather than shown the story. 😔
I wish I had your approach 🌞 Big books are really quite intimidating to me. Now less so because with the book club it's a lot of fun and people encourage each other if there're some slow parts. I agree with you about short books often being rushed, Sometimes, I think it works quite well though. For example The Blind Owl was super short something around 100 pages, but I thought it was really well done. I need to come back to it and re-rea it. That book is perplexing but fascinating. Also Chronicles of Death Foretold. I thought was done really well even being a short book. Long books though totally have their very special charm because we grow to love and connect with the characters so much and it's such a great experience, having that attachment to the book. I agree that it rarely happens with short books.
Greetings from Brazil! Just discovered your channel and am so excited to dive into all your videos ❤️ I really enjoyed that you took the time of showing a close up of most of the books, allowing us to take a look at font size of the edition (I’m sure that gives a lot of extra work, so much appreciated :)
When I visited the home where Thomas Hardy was born the guide said that The Woodlanders was Hardy's favourite book. Both where he was born and where he lived as an adult are owned by by the National Trust and you can see photos on their website.
I am so excited for the Woodlanders. I have a very good feeling about this book. I think I'll dearly love it. I love the design of the copy, I think it's very beautiful + I've heard such great reviews from Lucy the Reader and some of the comments to my previous videos that I really think I'm going to love the novel. Thank you for recommending the website! I'll be referring to it for sure 😍📚
It's been raining here two weekends in a row. Yesterday there was such heavy rain all-day 😳 which is a shame. Yesterday was Novruth which is Iranian New Year and we couldn't go anywhere because of the rain. 😩
Hi Such a beautiful haul ............. and some of the books you've bought I read them. I also enjoyed and maybe you would love them too 😊 STEFAN ZWEIG especially Twenty four hours in the life of a woman , Letter from an unknown woman, The post- office girl, Journey into the past or GRAHAM GREENE - The end of the affair or MARGUERITE DURAS - The lover, MADELEINE BOURDOUXHE - La femme de Gilles. I love your channel so much and I wish you a beautiful week. Hugs , Roxana
Thank you very much for your comment and for all the recommendations! I remember I read some Stefan Zweig before and I really really loved what I read. I read Der Amokläufer. I don't remember what the story was about though, so definitely need to re-read it. I love Graham Green too, 😍 but M. Duras and M. Bourdouxhe are totally new to me so I'll check them out! Thank you very much for your recommendations! 😍
Hi! Just found your channel! And so cool to find another Russian speaking Booktuber! ☺️ I love your energy, and book are gorg! Would love to buddy read something together:)
I have tons of unread books to be honest, I read very very slowly 😅 but I so deadly love my bookshelves. They bring me joy with all the reading possibilities on them. Sometimes I do feel overwhelmed though and regret that I can't read faster without rushing through books. I still haven't found the balance yet, but sometimes I just really feel like buying a book, especially if I'm in a bad mood, researching books and then buying them is a form of therapy for me I guess. 😅 Sometimes books just sound so so so great and I can't resist 🙃
I have just read The Art of Losing by Alice Zeiter and currently reading The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki and then have Jon mcGregor's latest book Lean Fall Stand to read as well as Robert Shelton's Bob Dylan biography No Direction Home.
It's Judas Iscariot. It's a collection of Leonid Andreyev's short stories and novellas. Judas Iscariot is a novella. The book also has The Diary of Satan, The Seven Who Were Hanged and some other stories and novellas. I hope it helps! 🌞
I know you have a lot of gorgeous new titles to play roulette with, but boy OH BOY am I looking forward to you reviewing Earthlings once you've read it. Hahaha. :D
I need to buy it first. I've heard some mixed reviews so I've been hesitant. Currently, I'm eyeing the kitchen. Because one person left such a warm and loving review of that book in Discord and now I really want to read that book ASAP 😍
@@bookishtopics I thought nothing that Yoshimoto wrote could top Kitchen/Moonlight Shadow and then I read Moshi Moshi. Charming, both of them. Light but so rich. I really hope you get to read them both soon, whenever you're in between the bigger, more demanding books of yours. As for Earthlings...yep, can't WAIT to hear your take. Bwohohohaaaa. ;)
My book buying ban has been thrown out of the window 😅 sometimes books sound just so so so great, I can resist the urge to buy them. Something that makes me feel better about it is that I so dearly love my bookshelves. There's a ton of unread books there, but I know I'll love the majority of them and that makes me love them already 😅
Another great book haul. I adore hear your thougths about books. Maybe for you will sound repetitive, however I must say that your videos really are my therapy from the real world. It is such a bless can hear you.
@@bookishtopics Marketing executives of Oxford UP and the BIG 5 in English (Simon&Schuster, Penguin RH, Hachette, MacMillan, and Harper Collins) salute u and ur sentiments. :-) I don't know the biggies in other languages. I can read 0 words in Russian written in Cyrillic, and only 1 acronym: CCCP = USSR. Da, not nyet. :-)
I'm so happy you got Selma Lagerlöf's book! She one of my favourite authors (I know I recommended her long time ago) I really hope you will like it! :D

Your channel is my safe place, I just love to hear you talk about books! And it's so educational to listen to you as well!
Thank you very much! 🌞 You've just truly made my day with this message 💖📚
Wilkie Collins books are very plot driven. There are no boring parts like in many long classic novels.
Oh wow, we’re reading a novella by Lagerlöf for my bookclub; The Treasure! I didn’t know she one a Nobel Prize 😊
Your reading choices are always so diverse and I can't wait to hear what you think of these and to add so many of them to my tbr!
The idiot is my favorite novels from Feodor ( I read all of his novels :))!! The hero really touched me, he is fantastic , in France he is viewed of one of the first hero who fall into the autism spectrum in litterature. Look forward to your review.
Oh I didn't know he was viewed as a character with autism, it's really interesting! I'm very looking forward to finally reading this novel in June! 🌞
North and South is one of my all-time favorite classics, I love it so much!
I'm starting today and I am so excited! 😍
i read memoirs of a polar bear last year and adored it! i wanna reread it though because the day i finished i had very high temperature and was too dizzy to focus hahahha
My Bunin arrived this week 🙌🙌🙌 Cannot wait for the Ham smelling 😂
I hope you'll enjoy him and will find everything you're looking for and even more 😂 Did you get A Man from San Francisco? or his short stories?
Such an interesting haul. Seeing Selma Lagerlöf made me smile from ear to ear 😃

Hello, Luisa and thank you! I am very happy you enjoyed the video! I did my best with it :)
I'm reading the eleventh book of Poldark series. Thanks for your recommendation. I'll take into account your recommendations for next readings
Over the months I've come to love your channel so much ❤️ I love your videos. They are very informative
Thank you very much! 😍 I'm so happy you enjoy my videos 🌿
Such a wonderful haul! So many beautiful and interesting books! Thanks for sharing!
Jorge Amado is so nice to read. By the way, the letter ‘j’ in Portuguese is not pronounced as Spanish. You can pronounce as ‘j’ in English.
Thank you! I'll remember that next time 🤓 super excited for the book though 🌟

I'm sure I will! I'm very excited for this book!
Okay but.. what’s the music in the beginning called?
Interesting. Also have The Leopard lying around. Until when are you reading it?
It's raining in Seoul, too! 😆
I mean, it was (?

Omg now i wanna buy every single book of this video 😪
Do you read really fast or just have loads of unread books like me? I buy them so much faster than I can read them, it’s really annoying!

How do you like The Makioka Sisters? I've just finished reading it!
@@bookishtopics Yes I am enjoying it. I like the juxtaposition of modern and traditional Japan in it.
What is the name of the book at 21:38 please?
It's Judas Iscariot. It's a collection of Leonid Andreyev's short stories and novellas. Judas Iscariot is a novella. The book also has The Diary of Satan, The Seven Who Were Hanged and some other stories and novellas. I hope it helps! 🌞

Thank you very much! I'm glad it was interesting and helpful 🌞

18:04 your pronunciation of "Fyodor Dostoevsky" is completely different from how others pronounce it. Is that the correct way to pronounce it?
I just pronounce his name the way we say it in Russian :)
🥰
Huge book buying. U should buy shares in a bunch of book publishing companies such as Penguin Random House. :-)
I know 😅 It's okay, I'm happy to buy books, I think the publishing industry is doing important work, so I'm glad to support them 😅
