![IN DEEP CONVERSATION: The Years by Annie Ernaux 🇫🇷 @HardcoverHearts (#3 of 3) [CC]
About In Deep Conversation:
This is the second installment in the In Deep Conversation series where we chat about a book we buddy read over 3 videos in total between the 2 channels. There will be spoilers, so if you plan on reading this book, we would suggest that you either wait to view this until after you have read the book, or watch with full understanding that this is a deep dialog about what we read and thoughts we have had on the material.
I will be kicking the conversation off with some background as to why we chose the book, some initial thoughts on the book itself and some questions posed to Sarah at Hardcover Hearts. Here is her channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGNpG_pEmpa3rmQ4obUhh4Q
Her reply will be up simultaneously, so go to see her thoughts here: https://youtu.be/uGfWjC5W4MA
She will then have some questions for me in her video. I will have my reply up by February 5, 2020 available on this channel, so come back or subscribe to get notified as to when that video is up.
We hope you enjoy this new format. We look forward to more discussions like this in the future.
*** Please note:
It should go without saying, but please recognize that we are not professional reviewers, but rather passionate and dedicated readers of literary fiction. As such, these ideas and thoughts presented are just that- our thoughts and ideas. We are not trying to persuade or dissuade you from reading the material yourself. And while we are asking for conversations surrounding the material, we will request that everyone is respectful and polite in the comments section. As readers we bring our whole selves and experiences to the reading of any book, so no two people will read the book in the same way. And we firmly believe that there is no way to read a book in a wrong way. Therefore, we are interested in how people think and react to material we have spent time with and spoken about. Thanks!***

![FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury 🇺🇸 BOOK REVIEW [CC]
My review of the classic science-fiction novel FAHRENHEIT 451 by the American writer Ray Bradbury.
What would a society without books be like? Would you put your life at risk to read books? These are not even the main questions that Fahrenheit 451 asks.
Fahrenheit 451 is one of the best dystopian novels of the 20th century.
