As a German I've read the original version. It's a very special book.

Wow an aussy that can read.

My sisters used to love those books.

It was a long time pleas comback

it seems like you've read 1.000.000 books

I thought Bertie had only 2 aunts, Dahlia and Agatha. Who are the others, pray tell?

Writing my EE on this one, love love love this book ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋

Thanks Lesley!

What is disgusting is a she-male explaining male roles and not a man trying to come to grips with how most men off the radar are no different than her. You need to defend your honor if you want a woman by your side. God does not love delicate types being conflicted.

ZZZ ovcr5rc 😅 0:16 😅😅

One of my very favorite novelists. And "No Fond Return of Love'.. well I"ve read it ten times or so. It's so great!

Hi Lesley, It's January 2024 and I'm wondering do you still read the same book in this January? Anyway, visit our channel to watch animated book reviews! 📚🤝

Lovely to hear your review I adore this book. Another I can recommend that packs a quiet punch…Someone at a Distance by Dorothy Whipple published by Persephone Books

A book that perfectly captures a truly magical childhood - the childhood that every human would have in an ideal world. Screamingly funny and very informative. If it's your first read, you'll never want it to end. The sequel, Birds, Beast and Relatives, is just as hilarious and interesting.

I found a book, Lawrence of Arabia, at a yard sale, it actually was the same copy my aunt had as a girl. It had her handwriting in it telling the reader to return to her with her adress

Bertie Wooster is a knucklehead, but he doesn't think so. That is the central issue with a lot of PGW's Jeeves novels. Bertie gets himself into a jam with his cunning plans, and Jeeves gets him out.

I love all of P.G. Wodehouse's works! I forget which one I read first, since that was around 1960, give or take a year or two! Anyway, I have read all that I can get my hands on, and after several years, I would re-read some of them between other books I happen to be reading. Although the T.V series deviate somewhat from the books or stories, I also find them enjoyable. All in all, I'm a big Wodehouse fan!

Yes, that you would only read Frankenstein by candlelight during a storm makes you A-OK in my book! Edited to include that I really LOVE all of your book choices in this video.

Just started reading it. Thank you for the great review - nice that it’s a bit introspective Also hello from 9 years later:)

Read it years ago and re-read it yesterday. First time round (I was in my early teens) I cried....The puppy. I knew that Lenny would end up killing the woman. The book reminds of the Pinter's Caretaker; " The Scarecrow" film with Gene Hackman and Am Pacino, "Rainman".....All came much later on but still.....!

loved it

Hello I need Godward life by John Piper

Hi Lesley. Could you please review the book 'The collection of short stories' written by O. Subramanian.

Efsane mükemel harika

Just started reading this today enjoying it so far

I just subscribed to your channel and I like how you are doing them I bought a little golden book, Disneys, haunted mansion. Thinking it's about the new movie, but all it is, is a. Young boy is challenged to go explore the mansion, I liked it.

Best to stretch out these little sugar hits of comedy, or it's like a DVD season of Only Fools and Horses, Seinfeld and/or Fawlty Towers, for example, that you watch episode, end-on-end, and get so sick of it before it ends, that you never want to think of it again :-)

i definitely did think this was a very bizarre book! like nothing i have ever read! though i do think it's a bit slow and boring at times and the ending murder spree and the capture of grenuile just happened so quickly while so much time had been given to other aspects of his life (like his time in the cave). i do see the importance of part two of the book, but i wished the ending could have been a bit more balanced in terms of pacing

Absolutely love anything Wodehouse. I got into him in my twenties and, 40 years on, still love him. I'm in Canberra, Australia and most of our second-hand book fairs have a good supply of Wodehouse, particularly older Penguin versions.

There was many scenes in the book where she was confronted with the press because of her achievements. Do you think the representation of the press was realistic ? What was your best scene with the press ?

It's so good to see you. Thanks for your presence, Leslie. Love your input!

East of Eden … solid choice 👏🥂

Adore Barbara Pym books. So quaint, such an interesting peek into life in those days, especially from the woman's perspective. This is social history! Always find her books cosy.

Thank you for this review.

🌺 *promo sm*

6 years later i need it for school purposes

Drivel , a waste of time .

Lovely review. Just read for the first time today. Powerful, heartbreaking and brilliant. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊

I have started with Caroline

I'm so glad every time you post a video. I' always enjoy the books you recommend, e.g. The Diary of a Provincial Lady. Today, I've added Millions Like Us and Dangerous Ages to my wishlist. 😊

Well done for a great reading month! Much better than mine! Thank you for a brilliant video and for all the reading suggestions! ❤️📚

Will definitely be seeking out Dangerous Ages and Diary of a Provincial Lady. They sound great.

Palahniuk IS crude and cruel, he writes transgressive fiction intended to offend. That's his schtick.

What a fab start to your reading year 🌼 Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts, as always. ‘The Diary of a Nobody’ has just been requested via interlibrary loan ☺ (Picked up Isaac and his egg yesterday 😉) x

I’m visiting Devon in the summer and have owned The Diary of a Provincial Lady for ages but haven’t picked it up yet- now I have the perfect reason to!

Hi Lesley! Such a great list! I definitely need to check out The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. I have yet to read any books... 😓so I do not have any favorites yet but I hope you film one of these for February!

My favourite read in January was Woodwitch by Skye McKenna. It's the sequel to Hedgewitch a cosy witchy middle grade series. I loved Hedgewitch and liked Woodwitch even more. One I think you may even like 😍

Hi there 👋 hello you have a love love love love love amazing weekend

Bleak House by Charles Dickens is spectacular and quite long.
