Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag Tillys Shelf 2023-06-28 | Undertaking the Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag to get re-restarted, and tagging @TrinityTales @AJennWhoReads and @rowan-reads to help them to introduce themselves to the BookTube community. I threw in a Jane Austen July TBR for good measure (my excuse for the unseemly length of the video).Prompts: 1. Best book you’ve read so far 2. Best sequel you've read so far 3. New release you haven't read yet, but want to. 4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year. 5. Biggest disappointment. 6. Biggest surprise. 7. Favourite new author. (Debut or new to you) 8. Newest fictional crush. 9. Newest favourite character. 10. Book that made you cry (Saddest book you have read). 11. Book that made you happy. 12.

Stories from Ukraine 5/Discussing Drama: The Government Inspector Tillys Shelf 2022-11-27 | A few weeks ago Ros from @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 and I got together via zoom to discuss Gogol's 1835 play The Government Inspector.

Facial Stigma in Dickens Part 2 (Bleak House) Tillys Shelf 2022-10-29 | *Part Two after the abrupt end if Part One*If you want to avoid this self-indulgently lengthy video, what I am trying to say is that it is interesting to see Dickens assuming two roles in his work - one as a discriminator against characters with facial disfigurement, in particular as a reinforcer of the stigma of facial disfigurement being linked to moral deficiency, and the other as an "ally," criticising facial stigma in others.An important theme which I neglected to mention was identity - Esther's face I many ways is a sign of her identity, a crucial link I the plot. Her illness obscures that identity from others, at the turning point when it finally becomes clear to herself.In this video I explore how stigma around facial disfigurement appears in the work of Charles Dickens that I have read so far. Bleak House was my pick for Kate's challenge on disability and representation in Victorian Literature. Books mentioned:Face It by James Partridge (2020)Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (1837)Great Expectations (1860)Our Mutual Friend (1865)Bleak House (1853)Relevant charities for facial stigma:Changing Faces - changingfaces.org.ukThe Katie Piper Foundation - katiepiperfoundation.org.ukDan's Fund for Burns - dansfundforburns.orgPart of #victober#victober2022
