Huck's Tier Ranking of Juliet Marillier:

[sandra]

Thanks for sharing this! I actually enjoy this type of post more than large monthly wrap-ups. Happy reading!

[meghanthestorygirl]

I'm so excited for this new style of video! And that Lillias Trotter book sounds amazing.

[mommyonmission]

So happy to hear Peter is responding well to his treatment! Thanks for the update!! 🙏 ❤️

[danacharland]

I'm looking forward to hearing more from you with this new format. Great idea! I'm praying for Peter and all of your family. Blessings!

[jackiesliterarycorner]

I haven't been to my library in a while, because I've been trying to read the books I own, and when I borrow books from the library I prioritize those first.

[lachicadelparasolblanco]

Thank you so much for posting these updates! I'm so glad to hear Peter is doing well and the rest of the family too! My thoughts are with you 🙏🏻

[WilsonHillWorks]

So glad to hear Peter is doing better. I love TK Kingfisher but I would not classify her as "cozy." Nettle and Bone is pretty gritty. And while I've enjoyed most of the Mercedes Lackey I've read, I think her earlier works are best. Love to see so much fantasy in this video!

[emilykateisreadingandpraying]

I'm happy to hear that Peter is going well with his treatment, that's wonderful. You all are in our prayers. 🙏 Sounds like some brilliant Halloween reading! Looking forward to seeing how you go with all the fantasy reads especially the Juliet Marillier... Happy reading Kate! 😃📚

[neusvillegasalba]

Thank you for updating! I wanted to know about Peter. I hope he continues doing well!

[angelaluz]

So glad Peter is doing well with his treatment so far.
Wow. No Man's Land sounds incredible!

[miriamelizabethreads]

Loved this video, Kate! I haven't read Juliet Marillier in so long! I adored Daughter of the Forest!!

[taylorrae]

Thanks for the update! Sending love and prayers to you all. So glad Peter is responding well and glad you have so much good reading for comfort. My husband got me 12 Audible credits as an early Christmas gift, and I can confirm it is not a small gift, but a big and wonderful gift of joy! Daughter of the Forest is the one I chose to get first and I started listening to it today. I was longing to re-read it even though I read it at the start of this year lol 🌿✨🌾 Comforting audiobooks are a wonderful thing.

I'm so glad that Peter is responding well to treatment!
This was a lovely format to listen to, I look forward to more 😊 I appreciate the books being listed in the description so that I can look them up, so thanks for doing that (though no worries if you don't have the time)!

[josmith]

It was lovely to listen to this while driving in my car as you sat in yours Kate 😉 and I always love the casual, chatty nature of these videos. Your boys are so lucky that you search for and find such great books to read together, they are clearly going to grow up sharing your love of reading! Interested to see what you make of Frederick Marryat 🤔

[shonnarobertson]

You and your family remain in my thoughts, I’m so happy to hear that Peter is responding well to his treatment. I’m also happy to hear about this new series of YouTube content. The range of books you showed sound so interesting. I certainly will try to track down a copy of Elizabeth Gaskell’s letters at my local library- she is one of my favourite authors.
It is the last day of Victober in my part of the world, and I have enjoyed my reading against the prompts suggested by you all. Over the past few years, Victober has introduced me to a new favourite genre - sensation novels. Although I didn’t get through everything I hoped to read (I was distracted by Terry Pratchett and read five of his Discworld novels), what I have read I’ve enjoyed. I think I will be finishing a few things in the first week or so of November!

[protagonistspub]

The Blackthorne & Grimm series is truly wonderful and atmospheric. You will fall in love and the audio is fantastic. Glad to hear that Peter is doing well and responding to treatment. All of you are in my prayers.

[alldbooks]

I just love this format. Home run. ❤️📚😀

[amyofhearthridge]

Awww! Peter’s connection between Faerie Queen and your Scriptures. I’m so glad that you loved Parables of the Cross! 🥹🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️

[MicahHarris-km]

It's always nice just to hear from you no matter what the format. Do whatever you're comfortable with and enjoy. Whether the video is "produced" or just shot in the front seat of your car, it's you and your comments, information, and insights that I think everyone tunes in for. So thankful to hear your son is doing well. You should check out Tom Holland's non-fiction book "Dominion." Even though Holland is a non-believer, he is a historian w/ integrity and a pleasant fellow and his book is about how Jesus gave us all the humanitarian things we take for granted today that did NOT exist in Western culture until his "depth charge" made the world a better place for EVERYBODY.

I’m pretty sure I loved 🥰 Salt & Shore! She doesn’t have much else translated into English. 😢 Oooo! I liked 43 Old Cemetery Road, so I may try that other.
