    @spinstercatlady4 years ago Longbourn is a fantastic retelling from a different perspective! With all of the Austen and P&P retellings out and coming soon (The Other Bennet Sister, Miss Austen, Charlotte), I decided to reread P&P also, and so will definitely have to check out your readings. ... 6

    @jacquelinemcmenamin82044 years ago I’m trying to read off my backlist ( thanks to Katie from books and things) by matching books to prompts on readathons.



    So far this month I’ve read
    The Wonder by Emma Donoghue ( which was great)
    The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek ( which was disappointing)
    Currently reading
    All Among the Barley

    @thowaibabenslema18114 years ago I looooved Longbourn. It was such an incredible commentary on the working class esp in a work (P&P) that only focuses on middle to upper classes. It shows how the working class personal lives are very much affected and guided by their employers. ... 1

    @aleksismil4 years ago I am also a Chernobyl child. My mum told that when I was born she didn't take me out for three months because she was afraid that the particles coming from Ukraine would affect my health. 3

    @raccoonsnacks4 years ago Hi Jen! What's the piece of music that plays at the end of all your videos? I find it really calming and cheering and would love to hear the full thing

    @laelabenatti41854 years ago Dear Jen, have a good day! Thanks for the video. You are that rare and wonderful kind of person to whom I would like to say and ask many things.Unfortunately for me and luckily for you 😊 l understand what you say but l have to use the google translator to write something intelligible and it's very boring. Stay safe, Laela from Italy.❤ 📚 🇮🇹 ... 2

    @BeatrixOnyx4 years ago After hearing so many people talk about Tracey Chevalier, I was wondering which of her books would you recommend reading first? 1

    @LisaZoe864 years ago Longbourn is not so much a retelling as it is just set during the events in Pride and Prejudice, I would say. 1

    @NatashaTyrimos4 years ago Jen are your short story workshops suitable for someone who is a beginner? Would love to try one but worried it might be too challenging!

    @danielanjegovan354 years ago I don't think the words "saint in Swindon" will ever mean anything but St Zvlkx to me :D Which brings me to the question (and this is for everyone) - has anyone on booktube ever reviewed the Thursdsay Next series? ...
  • @
    @josephinewinter4 years ago nature-writing or anything 'factual' mixed in with 'memoir' is literally my least favourite kind of book ever - i shan't try to recommend you fact books, at least:) To me (well i'm autistic) it's half the facts, half wrong, mixed in with a bunch of tedious navel-gazing waffle nobody's interested in. I always thought i liked fact books, because i like text books, but weirdly nobody means books about facts when they say 'nonfiction', they mean some third class of stuff. My gcse maths book is one of my favourite books. My parents prefer the history encyclopaedia, a mediaeval herbal and the VW maintenance manual. I'm trying to read a Welsh thesauraus. But there you are. ...
