Time goes where all lost things do. Through the cracks in the floor and chips in the window. It wafts away on a breeze we cannot see or feel to another day, returning as memory when we least expect.

Hi, Jenn! Love all the content that you put out there. Every time you mention Sarah Moss, I can’t stop thinking that I would love to see a video of you talking about all of Sarah Moss’ books (like the one you did on Ali Smith’s, which I adore). Lots of love!

I too don't like the feeling of not being in the middle of a book. When I have a book waiting for me it's like I'm on a boat moored at a super interesting and fun dock, and I can go back and forth from the boat to the dock as many times as I want. But when I'm not reading any books, it's like I'm out on the open sea, with no land around and nowhere to go. Oh well.

Ha ha! Where does time go? It goes into that box (or two or three) that you never unpacked when you moved into your home. I have about eight of those so it's in one of those boxes over at my place! Ha!

Love your cozy vlogs so much. They literally feel like a hug. So thank you for the hug Jen :)

These videos are my absolute fave. Thanks for making a normal lunch time in the office a cosy and enjoyable one. 😊

[katarinakidd]

I feel the same way about not having a book in-progress! Honestly it makes me pretty grumpy in the evenings and leaves me feeling very restless.

I’m getting my booster today. I’m sorry for what you went through at the vaccination centre. I have asthma. My morning routine consists of 4 minutes on nebuliser followed by two different inhalers. 15 yrs of London pollution did not help my lungs. Friends say being back in rural N.Ireland will help my lungs. However it’s always between 5/10 degrees colder here than London.As it gets colder my lungs tighten like being in a vice. So glad you’re doing the audio of Ghost in the Throat. You’re getting to hear the poem in the original Irish.
Congratulations on the London poetry competition win 🏆
The red wig looks great on you. Matches your Celtic complexion.
Delighted you liked Piranesi as much as I did.

This was such a relaxing, cozy vlog Jen. Thanks a lot. :)

As for where the time goes.. probably where all of my one sock out of a pair disappear to. No clue.

[cherylynlarking]

Saw your latest book in the window of a small bookshop in East Dulwich which was recommended. Hope you have had great success with it. The cover is amazing.

The dark ginger red is probably my fave - I know you don’t intend them to be “natural” but you really suit being a redhead! Also like the pink-blond- roots one looks really cool 😊

I often find lost scraps of time behind and/or under the fridge. Stuck between lost magnets from childhood holidays to the coast or the mountains, year old pieces of salad crisped up and yellowed like autumn leaves even though they were picked in spring, tangled in hairs which are yours... or the cat's... or the dog's... or perhaps just strands of time you did not even know you lost now left alone so long they've accumulated dust about them into a corporeal form.

[theresashingler]

Time goes to the same place as lost odd socks and washable face covers that vanish for weeks at a time.

[DinosDontPlayPianos]

I think time goes to the same place as the sock that goes missing in the wash... (would be delighted to receive both back 😆)

[deborahmeades]

Oh your Virginia Creeper is beautiful. I miss ours since moving home. Virginia seems a very apt plant for you and your profession as a writer Jen.

[curioushmm]

thanks jen for the autumnal walks and talks...

[zimbra-bim]

The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers has safely arrived in Florida, just in time for Halloween! I adore your fall and winter vlogs, it's so comforting to watch the changing seasons since it's not something we really experience here. 😅

[motturacristina]

Thank you Jen. I love it when you take us on walks with you! I am reading Piranesi at the moment: work of genius!! Lots of bookish love :)
