I'm Glasgow based after being down in the South of England I'm back up in sunny Scotland! When I'm not at the corporate day job I'm escaping to the countryside or mountains with our dachshund and cocker spaniel and irregularly blogging/vlogging.

Even 4 me worked me as well
Just finished this book…I’m shaken..
This book its very interesting but confusing nonetheless often the book goes off into tangents and sometimes i have to reread it over and over.
You don't really need to wash the ends of your hair, just the roots
Thanks for the review! Beautiful edition!🤩🤩🤩
I’m troubled by the use of the term ‘lost generation’ and how many people latch onto this as though it is a thinker’s shibboleth. I don’t think that that generation was lost at all. The war was just a short pause. The post Vietnam generation was more lost, but resentful, too. And now, due to the waste of the afghan war and Trump’s divisive lunacy, we are probably in a Suspicious Generation. If you are a thinker, instead of just a regurgitator, you do really need to think of something beyond ‘lost generation’.
I loved this book. I read it about 12 years ago and it today it randomly popped up in my head. Great job.
Great read. I particularly enjoyed the way Scotty leaves the reader with the ability to assign motivations to his characters unexplained actions. Example, “Grampy’s” man “Shuttleworths” attempt to defraud Anthony of his inheritance. It only becomes confirmed at the end with his guilty suicide.
What time of the year did you go to the Faroe Islands?
We went in May, lucky that we didn't get any wet days and only one low visibility day
@@KathrynLiquidGrain thanks, was thinking about going in January but worried about the weather.
She is gorgeous. 5 years on how well did the stairs fair for her back?
So she's now 6 and still fit as a fiddle. We use the steps for getting on to the sofa and bed!
Do you still have have/use this agenda? If so, I would love to know how you feel about it after using it for some time. Its beautiful 🤩
I still have it and used it for a year- absolutely love it. I only use one agenda at a time so I tend to switch them out every year. It is still great condition and works well!
@@KathrynLiquidGrain I found one preloved in great/brand new condition and didn’t know if I should get it. Everyone has the same LV agendas so I was interested in something different. You were the only one who reviewed this and I’m so happy I found your video, definitely going for the purchase. Thank you for replying!
Does this have to used daily, or can you skip a couple days?
I only wash my hair 2 times a week or so, so definitely can skip
That was an excellent review thank you so much
I just bought that version from Book People in Austin. Half of my MFA was in book design, and I can't describe just how much I love the way this book was put together.
It is so nice, I have the whole set in a video from a couple of years ago if you want to see the set
just read it again for the second time, and enjoyed it even more! You really feel like the characters are REAL people even though they are so exagerrated.
There is real honesty in the characteristics
@@KathrynLiquidGrain I was in maryland last week and had the chance to visit F Scott and Zelda's Grave at a small catholic church in Rockville, MD. very surreal
Nice video👌🏻 Outside the park there are some glossy ibis. If you're lucky you can see some baby coypu.
Hi! I saw your video about ”girls of Riyadh”, and I have a question. You have finished “girls of Riyadh” what is the characters like at the beginning of the novel, what are their main characteristics, and what changes can you see?
Hi - it's a great book, have you read it? What did you think of these characters?
@@KathrynLiquidGrain hi, yes i have read it. I really like it! I have s question: what is the characters like at the beginning of the novel, what are their main characteristics, and what changes can you see?
I agree with you on the hems on blackmilk clothing in general but I think it's because they use so much nylon. I think it looks super cute on you 🤩
Aah thank you!
Just saw this video pop up on my wall, and i got interested because i am also making videos about the faroes 😊🇫🇴 i have been to that mountain too and it was amazing to be on top seeing the view below because it was so sunny when we climbed😊
Aah, I've seen so many pictures of the great view but we just got clouds!
@@KathrynLiquidGrain maybe next time you come back here you will be lucky😊
Also, sorry for all the dog toys on the floor! And general mess in the background
Great review! I havn't read to kill a mockingbird yet but after watching this I will! It's definitely an important book to be read at the moment. I love your Fitzgerald reviews too by the way, I would love to hear your thoughts on Gatsby as well. I know these kinds of classics have been reviewed to death but they can be very over analysed a lot of the time which clouds the way people read and review it, the most skilful writing isn't always the most entertaining to read, so it's nice to hear these books talked about in a non academic way. It would be cool to hear what you thought of the writing style and story in Gatsby because it's so famous - do you think it's over rated or deserves the acclaim? Do you like his descriptive writing? A lot of people have said Fitzgerald's books are boring :( If you made a review of Gatsby that would be sooo awesome to accompany your other Fitzgerald reviews and see how you stack up the lesser known ones with his famous one, just a suggestion though. Anyway I subscribed, hope you do more book reviews :)
Aah thank you so much for this comment. I definitely need to do Gatsby and my other F Scott Fitzgerald books! We had a lot going on this year with moving country, house and jobs but now I'm settled I'm definitely going to do more book videos!
Ok now I wanna grab my gear and head over there!
You should, it's awesome!
wow awesome landscapes :)
It really was!
@@KathrynLiquidGrain Hello Kathy. You have a beautiful channel
very exciting to walk in the rain :)
Hello 😍😘😘😍😘😘😍
This is review actually helped me, idk why but I feel like spoiling a book for myself helps me get through it. That’s how I got through Dubliners by James Joyce, if that wasn’t spoiled for me I guarantee I wouldn’t have gotten through it.
I know what you mean! Getting through Les Mis was the same for me!
I was looking for some tips related Bioderma and I liked your video. Thank you!
I love it.
I didn't really appreciate Fitzgerald's first novel. I'm in the middle of Beautiful and the Damned which is better and not as scattered as This Side of Paradise. You're really pretty by the way. Not stalking just giving a compliment.
The characters in B&D are definitely more developed and good to tune in with! Aah thank you!
@@KathrynLiquidGrain ssssssnot a problem. Did you read the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath?? That was disjointed too I think.
Sorry ma'am I'm head over heels in infatuation....
Wow, this gals eyes are amazing.
I just found out today that the covers include a bookmark in the back !
Ooh I better check mine
Good shampoo I used 6 months
I don't think y can judge writing style by modern writing standards . Remember radio had just come in to being, television was decades away. Readers had more time and book patience . Happy y enjoyed ✌🏿️👌🏾👼🏿
The most difficult search of my life has been finding a good shampoo. Hopefully this one works :D
Good luck!
I only need like a little bit, like a pea sized amount, rub it in between my hands for a few seconds then put it in my hair and I have great results. But if u take it straight to your hair and don’t rub it between your hands first to disperse it a little I can see why u did not have as good for results.
I like this review of "B&D," a book of Fitzgerald's that is not read as much as some of his other books. This review captures and distills the book very well.
Thank you William- I really enjoyed it!
2018?
Looks awesome! Which side of loch is it? Is it on east side?
Thanks! It was, near Kinloch Rannoch
I mostly have self help books on my kindle.
Is this real? the water color is so blue! my god,thats why i love so much blue.. i think on other life i was an Scotland liver.. i dream with blue water like this one
It's pretty true to reality! Gorgeous there!
Great review
hello i’m looking for a book to read in school and was wondering if you think i should read this or the beautiful and damned? i loved the great gatsby and the 20’s so i was wondering if you think i’d like those. thanks!
I would say start with this one and then the beautiful and dammed (I have a video on that as well). I got into this one far quicker and it's shorter!
i also don’t want want to hear spoilers but do you think i should read this for school? i loved the great gatsby and i love the 20’s so do you think i’d like this book? thanks!
I think you'll like it but maybe start with This Side of Paradise
I found it deeply relatable even though the characters seemed beyond realistic I think they represent a stage in life where we are confused where we are over the top and in an extreme state of mind when we are so engrossed in one emotion or concept or mindset that it shapes and shadows reality.I feel like he built the story around the characters instead of making the characters fit into the story. the way the book is narrated the settings as well i think reflected the characters so well to the point where they weren't absurd to the point where I was finding myself understanding each and every character no matter how ridiculous a point they were making or belief they held
didn't work for me. One of the worst shampoos ever. It leaves my scalp dry and itchy. I ended up using it as a hand soap just not to waste my money. :(
I read the book many times over. Its best in Arabic,
Fairly easy to make. In fact with one piece of plyboard, you can make about 3 of these.
Yup, but I'm happy to pay!
The shampoo is great but the conditioner with magnolia is terrible .
Wow I absolutely love your hair!!!
