@meganmeaney39004 years agoThanks for all the content you've been producing during COVID quarantine. I have really enjoyed watching your videos, in between the times that I read your book recommendations. Just finished Age of Miracles and onto Lanny! ...11

@rachelgarner41374 years agoI've only read two of Svetlana Alexievich's books but they were both stunning. (Chernobyl Prayer and Zinky Boys)

@spinstercatlady4 years agoLongbourn 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

@LettersfromLou4 years agoThank you for the lovely video Jen <3 . I’m going through a rough time and your calming voice and wonderful content is the prefect tonic :) sending bookish love from Australia xoxo 1

@CharlesHeathcote4 years agoI haven't read any of these books, but A Honeybee's Heart has Five Openings sounds like a book I'd like to encounter. I hope you discover some gems from this haul. 2

@BooksAndTea584 years agoI am sure you'll love Longbourn Jen! ☺️ I enjoyed it very much. So many books added to my wishlist after this video, hope you're well. x 1

@hannahjones13074 years agoI'm really interested in reading Longbourne! My local bookstore is delivering to my house during lockdown 😁 loving supporting independent businesses right now. Thankyou Jen ❤️ 1

@juliequick55264 years agoI know only Pride and Prejudice and Longbourn, however I do want to read all of Tracy Chevalier. Stay safe lovely lady and thanks you, as always. 💖 1

@CharlieBrookReads4 years agoI have wanted to read Longbourn anyways but now I definitely think I will visit it after watching/ listening to Pride & Prejudice again with you xx Lots of interesting books which I look forward to hearing what you make of once you get to them xx ❤️ ...

@jacquelinemcmenamin82044 years agoI’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 ...

@actual-spinster4 years agoi read falling angels by tracy chevalier when i was like ... 14 maybe and i loved it sm... i remember it really vividly actually, would be interested to reread it!!
@
@thowaibabenslema18114 years agoI 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 agoI 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 agoHi 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 agoDear 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 agoAfter hearing so many people talk about Tracey Chevalier, I was wondering which of her books would you recommend reading first? 1
@
@LisaZoe864 years agoLongbourn is not so much a retelling as it is just set during the events in Pride and Prejudice, I would say. 1
@
@NatashaTyrimos4 years agoJen are your short story workshops suitable for someone who is a beginner? Would love to try one but worried it might be too challenging!

@bookcorner31054 years agoWhat advice would you give to someone who wants to start a booktube channel

@danielanjegovan354 years agoI 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 agonature-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. ...
