My friend Alice 💔 #ploddersforever Charlie Brook Reads 2024-07-02 | As many of you know my lovely friend @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf recently died. This video is just me crying mostly, chatting and remembering bits. I don’t make any sense and there is so much I forgot to say. Like about Alice loved Demon Copperhead (actually the three of us did myself & Gem). How she gave me Fight Night by Miriam Toews a couple years ago for my bday and I loved it. I read Five Little Pigs this year and gave it 5⭐️.I could probably do a whole video about books that Alice influenced me. Tell me in the comments your favourite Alice books as I would love to hear about them. Sending love and hugs to anyone that needs it esp to Alice’s family Jim, Jane, Mark & Freddie and of course little Harry 🐾❤️Thank you to each and everyone that has reached out to me. You guys are just the best. ❤️Plodalong liveshow with Jennifer & Ben:youtube.com/live/1QTQnFUpRBI?si=A44e8Q53bODP8Orw
