So many great recommendations! Lolly Wilowes and Women's Lore sounds amazing, thanks for sharing :D

Reading Finding my Voice by Rachel Stevens . A memoir

Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again sounds interesting - adding it to my TBR :)

Now tell what caesar thought of brittons

It's so nice to hear your favorites so far! Thank you for sharing ☺Also, if it helps at all, in the US "college" and "university" are the same thing (usually it depends on the institution's name and size which one it is)! Typically folks do middle school (roughly 12-14 years old and generally 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, although it depends) and then high school (roughly ages 14-18, grades 9-12), and then college after that (and we call it "going to college" even if you're attending a university) 💟

Could you make a video about history books that you liked and that talked about ancient history and mythology? I’ve been really interested to learn more about ancient history for some time now ☺️

Love that you do “backlist” and not just books that have been released in 2024! ❤

My favorite book I read so far this year has been Our Wives Under the Sea.

Have to come to this place one day

Nice watch this channel again look fareward to watching more.also they don’t have college in Scotland?

Adding Lolly Willowes and Woman's Lore to my TBR! Honestly, I prefer Satanic witches both in fiction and in non-fiction and want to see more of these portrayed in media over the pagan ones.

Sylvia Townsend Warner is a such an interesting author. Her book 'A True Heart' is a subtle retelling of Psyche and Eros. And 'Mr. Fortune's Maggot' is an introspective twist on colonialism and christian missions. Her short stories are also great and unexpected. I am so happy you loved 'Lolly Willowes'. 🥰📚🐱

I read my first Sylvia Townsend Warner this year too, Summer Will Show, and it completely blew me away! her writing is amazing. I've picked up her The Corner that Held Them and will hopefully get into that soon

Well I'm definitely adding all the nonfiction titles to my TBR! Usually I read a lot more nonfic by audio, but I'm been off my game this year, lol. But my favorites of the year so far are: Dragonfruit by Makiia Lucier Unnatural Magic by C.M. Waggoner The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley Swordheart by T. Kingfisher King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild Bits and Pieces by Whoopi Goldberg

Wonderful video! Lots of good suggestions. As an American could you please answer a question for me. What kind of accent do you have? It is wonderful.

House of Hunger is one of my favourite books ever! I’ve reread it the last two years, and will definitely be doing a third this spooky season! Also, you’ve got me intrigued - what do you have instead of colleges in Scotland?! I’m from the South of England and we have school (which finishes at 16), then sixth form or college from 17-18, and then uni?!

❤

House of Hunger was great and really has stuck with me! I have added all three nonfiction books you mentioned to my TBR now 😊

The Hedgewitch series is so charming and cozy! I'm really looking forward to the 3rd book, Seawitch, that comes out in September. Agree that Leina and the Lord is stunning 😍 I keep it out on display. Have you read Diavola by Jennifer Thorne? I recently read it, and really enjoyed it. It's a great Summer vacation horror of the modern gothic genre. I'm currently reading Dallergut Dream Department Store, the British Library Women Writer's Stories for Summer, and The Dead House by Billy O'Callaghan.

I absolutely love Julia Heaberlin ❤

I really enjoyed The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna and Funny Story by Emily Henry.

I've been really enjoying Emma Southon's works on Ancient Rome! They're really funny and have a feminist perspective so they're an easy win for me.

You're so beautiful

this is such a great interview!! really want to read this book now

You saying you're merging your books with your partner's gave me anxiety, personally, but also, thAT'S SO CUTE ❤ that's love right there

Wigtown in Scotland is a great booktown too, they do a book festival every year also, a little more lowkey than Hay but still fun!

Hii! Quick question did you ever finished writing the book cause I would LOVE to read it since that first snippet you read was SO good omg

I've just read Atalanta by Jennifer Saint, and it was excellent. I've had Psyche & Eros in my Audible library for a while, and this discussion has made me even more hyped to read it. Love the sound of the new book too! Medea is a fascinating figure. I'm a mythology novice, but I love how these modern stories, and your channel, make learning more accessible.

Wonderful interview! I just bought the novel after listening to your fascinating conversation. 😊

I know this video is over 1 year old, but seeing as you mentioned you were kind of disappointed with the depiction of Medusa in the Percy Jackson movies, I would love to hear your opinion about how they changed her character in the new Disney+ tv show if you have seen it. Personally, I think it brought her closer to the original myths and it added more depth to her as a person and not as a monster, but I'm not an expert on Greek Mythology and I would like to see what one thought about it

Maybe if you have more retellings you could do a shelf of just those?

What are you talking about everything you studied n school is all crap lie I'm telling you is no such a thing ancient Greece period that was the biggest scam of century bullshiting the world Greece Greece is no Greece people never existed go look it the old maps if you can find Greece anywhere you will never be able to find it why people don't get it just because you learn it wrong now you just wanna belive the lie that was iliria ilirian people today's albanianian people this are the ancient people Greece was made up nation how can they be Greeks if they made up this nation as far as lenguage it is constructed lenguage same as Latin Greeks of today 60 % are albanianians 20 slavik and another 20% they are turks roma people arabs mix of other so they call themselves greek which is nothing to do with greek she mentioned the word barbarians that is albanianian word which bar bar means equal even or equality this people they were very just people but n same time toughest people and scholars they struggle with the word to find what doest it mean I just explained what it means so do you own searching don't believe what u learn n school because Europe the falsified history made up things which now people know better AI will reveal the truth soon the truth will soon come out .

It´s a dream! Thank you for this content.

Subbed

Beautiful town near the river

You and Chris in that last clip, so cute🥰

Check out the book "The Goddess Letters" if you can find it. I haven't read it in like 25 years but it's a more honest retelling and goes over the traumas that she experiences and how she deals with it.

Looks so cool! Definitely adding it to my travel bucket list

have u read wing of fire

As a historian specialised in cultural heritage, I would say that for the most part it is a very fulfilling degree to get and experience, it was a lot of fun, sadly, the reality is that when it comes to get a job afterwards, especially with only a bachelor's degree is next to useless.

Loved this video! I really should look into visiting Hay-on-Wye when I visit the UK again :) Can I ask what the book on Witchcraft is with the painting of Circe on the cover? :)

I completed my Bachelor's in Business Administration. Can I pursue a Master's in History? Which UK university would be ideal for this transition?

yea i cant take you seriously you didn't mention any of the classics

I adored Hay on Wye too when I went this year. I kept saying that I was so happy! It was incredible to be somewhere with so many bookworms around me. My favourite speaker at the festival was Jeanette Winterson. She is a fantastic orator! I discovered an amazing campsite called Raquety Farm which is above the village.

What a dream destination! Thanks for taking us with you. 📚🤎

Absolute dream to visit there! Fun fact: Canada only has one book town, and I live right next to it, but it only has 6 shops.

Hay-on-Wye is such a charming bookshop town and the Gay-on-Wye is an adorable queer bookshop. 🏳️‍🌈 Glad you enjoyed the town and festival. 📚

So charming! It’s absolutely on my bucket list.

Thanks for this classical bookish inspiration!

Loved this! By the way, my friend wrote a book about female friendships, sexuality, and living with endometriosis. It's called Gender Theory (by Madeline Docherty). You'd maybe like it or the people who watch the videos!
