What a delight to see a new video from you Jen! I also love What Page Are You On and you’ve picked out the exact same ones from their Best Books episode that appealed to me (except All Fours, which I have already read and loved). Great minds! Definitely definitely definitely need to read The Fate of Mary Rose. Sounds exactly like my kind of thing. Hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas break. See you in 2025!
The Axeman's Carnival and All Fours were two of my favorite reads this year! I hope you enjoy both of them. I'm very interested to learn more about Clean. Happy holidays to you and yours!
What an exciting book haul! I haven't read any of these. The Coin is on my TBR, and I'm also interested in what you'll think of All Fours, Disappear Doppelganger Disappear, and the Yan Ge one. I keep seeing All Fours online but never looked at the blurb, it actually sounds super intriguing!
Thanks Jen, I had just read Mrs March and was going to ask please for more recommendations of women unravelling so your video has answered that question perfectly!
Clen was one of my favourite novels this year, I think you're going to love it. I read mostly older titles this year, as part of a couple of reading projects I did, but my favourite new books, besides Clean, were North Woods and the latest by Olga Ravn (not yet translated into English, but available in Swedish) which is about women accused of witchcraft. A story often told, but Ravn's poetic language, from the perspective of a baby made out of wax, is so wonderful to read! Look out for it in future (I assume they will translate it soon). Happy New Year Jen, and get well soon! 🫖
Awesome to see "Shelf", haven't heard about it. I've recently got a book about picture books called "Children's Picturebooks. The art of visual storytelling" by Martin Salisbury with Morag Styles and it sounds and looks incredible and features amazing picture books. Will make my way through it, because I love picture books. May you and your family have happy cozy days.✨
I studied Journey's End years ago then went to see it at the theatre and found it so affecting! Really interested to see what you think, have never explored any other Sheriff but should probably rectify that!!
I loved "Axman's Carnival" I can't wait to hear your opinion on it. I'm also curious what you will think of "All Fours" because despite all the raving reviews, I found it impossible to enjoy. I had to put it down before we even got to the 'scandalous' parts; the writing style was not working for me.
I read All Fours after avoiding it for a while. But I finally gave in and am glad I did. I can see why it received mixed reviews. My reaction right after I finished it compared to a few days later was interesting. Very curious to hear your thoughts on that one. Also, I'd love to get the Holly Exley book but can't seem to locate a copy right now. I recently moved to Scotland and am still a bit obsessive about anything Scotland!
You’ll have to let us know what you think of Disappear Doppelgänger Disappear! I managed to snag it from the library this past week and it’s next on my list to read.
Happy Happy New year Jen to you and family . Ginger tea and Honey is very good for sore throat cold respiratory..Lots of ppl and ppl on u tube have been sick..Tis the Season..Take care.Love your channel. Wish you would do another cooking segment short and sweet.
Have you read Death Valley by Melissa Broder? I feel that might fall in the "women unraveling" category, and although I haven't loved her previous works as much, Death Valley ended up on my favourites list. It's such a strange and almost hallucinatory book, but it captures the protagonists grief over the loss of a parents and her husbands chronic illness so well.
Two of these I absolutely hated. I won't say which ones as I'm interested in hearing your unbiased thoughts once you've read them. I have appreciated another year of content from you albeit truncated by baby which is of course as it should be. Happy new year.
The coin is my favorite book of the year the main character felt like a best friend she is so opinionated and wrong most of the time but I couldn’t not love her it also deals alot with losing your place in the world and not being able to belong anywhere
I saw Journey's End on Broadway when I was a teenager (early 2000s & it felt very politically relevant in all the anti-war protests.) It is the straight play that has stuck with me the longest (over 20 years) and felt the most impactful in the viewing. Very interested to see how it reads as a script and how it connects to the world in 2024/25
Thank you for all of your support this year, everyone ❤ x
3:55 It's absolutely beautiful that your gran got you a signed book. 💖👍 Happy New Year!
All the very (literary) best for the new year Jen🍸Season's grrrreetings and I hope your throat gets better🕯🧨✨

I’d love to hear your thoughts on All Fours. Two other BookTubers liked that one very much. I must, however, wait for the paperback.
Thanks Jen, I'm reading Children of Paradise at the moment and loving it. I'd love to read Marni's book, like the sound of it.
"If you don't folly Holly" :D Thank you so much for including my zine in this video, I'm so flattered. Thank you Jen!
Just bought a copy from your Etsy site
Love to you and happy travels! xx
Happy Holidays and a fantastic New Year Jen
Always love your videos. I’m reading The Hopkins Manuscript currently. Love his writing also.

Ooh, the book by Olga Ravn sounds fascinating. I truly hope it is translated into many languages. Thank you Robin.
Happy new year Jen ♥️
Hi Jen I am reading Pet at the moment. Great book so far.

@@jenvcampbell Thank you! I had checked earlier and she had sold out. But I guess she made some more--yay!
All love and hugs and can't wait for the upcoming content! 👉👈🤗💙💙👍👍

I’m a writer.
I love all books.

I enjoyed the Axman’s Carnival. It’s definitely not twee.

Intriguing! Thank you x
❤
I do not need someone else to tell me what books to read!
…ok? 😅
Just about to start reading Clean with my Translated Fiction booktube group.
Let me know if you like it!
What is twee??😅😅😅
Quaint/overly sentimental
@jenvcampbell Thank you. I thought it might mean something really cutesy.... Kind of like saying kawaii.☺️
