My Mary Barton Review and the Issue of the Fallen Woman *no spoilers* The Lazy Bookworm 2022-10-15 | Hey, how's it going? In another Victober video, I am reviewing Elizabeth Gaskell's, Mary Barton.

However, in this video I am not going to talk about Rossetti, instead, I'm going to talk about three Victorian poets I had never heard about and I will read one of their poems.

Middlemarch Review - The book that almost took me a year to finish! The Lazy Bookworm 2022-09-24 | Hey, how's it going?

My review of Hallie Rubenholds The Five (No spoilers). The Lazy Bookworm 2022-08-20 | Hey, How's it Going? This video is my review of Hallie Rubenhold's The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper. Don't worry I won't give any spoilers and my review is not grisly. We have all heard about the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper, but how much do we know about his victims? I admit I didn't know much I just thought the common narrative was that they were 5 very unlucky prostitutes who met their fate in Whitechapel, London. Reading The Five these women became fully-fledged human beings and I really enjoyed reading their stories and the contexts of their lives.

Well, in this video I will give my top 5 English and American novels. However, with my top 5 American novels, I have given myself an important restriction - they can only be books from the 20th century. An important note: Sorry for the quality, I had issues with my camera today and sorry for me turning super dark at the end, even though I filmed it in the afternoon the sun totally disappeared and the sky turned black and it started raining.This video was inspired by the popular Top 5 English novels tag started by Eric Karl Anderson and Sarah from Hardcover hearts a few months ago. Here is a link to their video:youtube.com/watch?v=i34skN7B1xU&t=33sI also got inspiration from Greg from Another Bibliophile Reads who put his own spin on this tag by doing his Top 5 American Novels, which is linked below:youtube.com/watch?v=Qw1fhtz3wIc&t=705s
Rilkes Letters to a Young Poet (Becks Reviews) The Lazy Bookworm 2022-06-14 | I have been wanting to read Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet for years now, and this year I finally did! And I am so glad I did. For a small book (under 100 pages) it really packs a punch. Sorry for the rather rambling video but I really want to encourage people to read this book. It doesn't matter if you are not a poet or even a writer I believe this book is for everyone.

Queens Jubilee: My top British books over the last 70 years - and 1 I would like to read. The Lazy Bookworm 2022-06-07 | Hey, how's it going? Queen Elizabeth celebrated her platinum jubilee this last weekend. However, for me, it just meant a long weekend. However, to celebrate the Queen's milestone I thought I would share my top books published during the Queen's 70-year reign. The books are categorized by decade, so one book per decade. Finally, because I have not read any British books in the last 2 years I will have a book published in the 2020s that I want to read.Tell me if you have read any of these books and what you thought about them.
