Jane Eyre is definitely my favorite book of all time. I've read it twice. The first time I was more drawn to the tragedy of her childhood and this time around I found her relationship with Mr.Rochester to be super relatable to my current life. I can absolutely relate to each read having different meaning 😍

I would love an Edwardian themed video ❤️

Hello Lucy, I'm sorry to hear that you've been ill. Welcome back! I'm reading The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope, which is terrific. It's my first Trollope experience, and I'm enjoying it. His writing is so realistic and accessible. The book is long, but I'm not intimidated. In fact, I think I want it to last as long as possible. LOL! I'm also reading Dickens' Christmas Books. I've read A Christmas Carol, The Cricket on the Hearth, and The Chimes. Now I'm on The Battle of Life. I adore Dickens, and the Christmas books are wonderful! There are so many themes in them - family, class, money, gender. It's great stuff! Just before I started Trollope and Dickens I reread The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I read it years ago when I was in my twenties, but I couldn't remember it. I thought it was a perfect read for Victober, and I was right! I love the theme of the divided self. Thank you for the recommendations you provided. I hope your health continues to improve.

Aaah... Jane Eyre is my comfort read and YOU are my comfort watch on Booktube! So great to see you return 💕

[rujahpoetess]

Yes I too want to reread Jane Eyre.. I've reread pride and prejudice, the 8th time.

Oh, I would love videos about newspapers and magazines!
I have some publications I want to dive into myself and also look for more old photos and ads - because, yes, vintage ads are somehow just so much fun and/or incredibly beautiful.

Lucy, I am so grateful to see you back talking vigorously about books. You are so brave and bold to fight all your difficulties and come back in a new form. You inspire me truly. You are thr one who intriguing me to read long books. I am also sometimes intimidated to read big books. I am trying to overcome it. I want to read Jane Eyre. It is on my bucket list for a very long time. I have enjoyed Anne Brontë's writings so I look forward to read all the Brontë's sister's novels. Apart from reading I am participating in many writing projects. I am freewriting as well. Love you🥰

[aidenadamson]

I literally went to the Brontë parsonage museum in August

So nice to have you back!!! I’ve been reading Rebecca, as I want to watch the new film! Would you ever do a video about your favorite period drama series/films?? I would love to see that! Those are my guilty pleasure but I keep rewatching the ones I like!..

[laurabrandusan]

I discovered you today and I had to hit the subscription button. You are amazing and I enjoy listening to your recommendations. Withering Heights by E. Bronte is on my list.

I am glad you're back! Welcome and hope everything is fine!

Happy belated birthday, Lucy! But... the present came to us, we heard from you! 🤗 So glad to see you back, but do it at your pace. It's completely understandable that when you juggle with many things, some of them have to fall, at least temporarily. Children books and favourite re-reads are great for comfort. I hope you continue getting better 😘

[shonnarobertson]

Wonderful to see you back on Youtube. Hope you are starting to feel better, take it easy and don’t stress, take things at the pace you need to. Thinking good thoughts for all those heading back into lockdown. Reading wise over the last few months I have hit some children’s classics - Wind in the Willows, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden to list a few. Also read Middlemarch and reread Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice. North and South is next up...

[MilenaReads]

Ah, middlegrade is perfect when you’re not feeling the best. I hope you feel well again soon 💜 Pages and Co is a great middlegrade series about books ✨

[kathybolton]

So happy to see you Missed not hearing your favorite Victorian reads. Especially hoping you will be able to go in a new direction for your writing!

[rosariosivianes]

Hello Lucy! I’m currently reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which you recommended some time ago, and it’s really helping me cope with the situation right now (we are also in a similar lockdown again in Spain), so I wanted to truly thank you for recommending it 🙏🏻 Happy to see that you are back 😊💙

[patriciabuuck]

Glad you are back. You inspire me to read the classics. I'm now reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Very intriguing. Take care of you

[imaginativebibliophile]

Lucy, It is lovely to have you back. My schoolwork has been stressful and I have been struggling with the novel I am currently writing. Everything has grown arduous because of fear and anxiety. I have been writing poetry to blossom joy within my presence. The novel I am writing happens to be a piece of children’s literature set in the past. I have been rereading my favorite books and Jane Eyre is always such a delight. There are so many struggles and I am pushing through them with hope. I am finding old friends through both reading and writing. I am rather pleased that my mental health is doing much better. Your videos bring about a soft smile on my face and I appreciate the magic. I love you

[Everleigh_James]
