Interesting ending thought regarding what book I would take if my house caught on fire. I plan to consider that because I have SO MANY favorites.

I'm a big fan of the classics,Jane Austen is my favorite writer,but also the Brontës,Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell. I'm also an Elvis fan and I love to read about him. Georgette Heyer is also a favorite,Agatha Christie,Philippa Gregory,oh and the Stephanie Plum bounty hunter series by Janet Evanovich...sorry,I can go on and on. Reading is my favorite hobby 😊 I ordered the Wuthering Heights from Sweet Cherry Publishing today! And that Jane Eyre folio is on my wishlist. Jane Eyre is my second favorite book ever 😊

Which is your first favorite? By the way, welcome to my channel and thank you so much for subscribing!@@anne_and_elvis8596

Ooh, heather! This was a dangerous video for me. I wrote down one title then another then another until my pen ran out of ink. 🖋🖋🖋 I absolutely want to do some sort of tag or read-along or discussion of a fairytale/folk tale in 2024. Would love to know your thoughts about that or let me know if you'd ever be interested in a conversation of some sort. I hadn't heard of some of these illustrators or editions. Must get The Selfish Giant-- so beautiful! Tam Lin is a favorite and your observation of the similarities with Jane and Mr. Rochester are so archetypal and wonderful! What a cozy way to start a rainy day. Thank you!

Hi Celeste! Yes I love that idea! I love reading fairytales in the winter and was already thinking about videos involving illustrated fairytales. I did (what I call on my website etc) an "Illustrator Explore" on Beauty and the Beast last winter and I have another fairy tale themed "illustrator explore" that I am planning to get out in February at latest. What do you have in mind? I'll put some thought into it....thank you so much for watching! I am glad that you found some new titles of interest from this video!!! Have a lovely weekend! The rain is coming our way tomorrow...was just out in the garden getting all my spring bulbs in as its already late in the season! Looking forward to your next video!🍂

@@WaterBearReads I’m just seeing this now! I’m not sure…maybe a tag, a chat, a show and tell of your favorite fairy tale, or something completely different. Let’s think about it and let me know if you have any ideas for something!
