Special meat. Made of humans. Hi and welcome to my channel! My name  is Sarah and I love to talk about books.   And today I’ve got a slightly overdue book  haul to share with you. These are all books   that I have bought since January, maybe the end  of December, and I thought I should probably get   them out of the way seeing as lockdown is starting  to ease here in Scotland and I can see me being in   front of the queue for the charity shops when they  finally open! So let's talk about the books I have   got my grubby little mitts on in the past few  months. And I feel like I should say that this   video is sponsored by Nelle and Scott at Gunpowder  Fiction And Plot, because their influence is heavy   on this book haul! A lot of the books I have  bought in recent months - in fact probably all   of the books I’ve bought in recent months - have  been purchased through Blackwell’s, which is…I   mean I knew of Blackwell’s, but I hadn't ever  used them before until Scott and Nelle had a   conversation with Shaun The Book Maniac back  in January sometime, I think it was, and Shaun   had actually said to them, for people who are  wanting to reduce their reliance on Amazon, that   Blackwell’s is a really good alternative because  it's not linked to them - to amazon - in any way.   And actually, through using it, I found  that it's a really great alternative.   Because it's very similar to amazon in that you  can buy new and used books on it, and so you can   find books that are not too pricey, particularly  if you're looking for backlist titles - I’ve   picked up books for a couple of quid. And I think  that's really important to talk about when I’m   doing a book haul, because consumerism is bad,  m’kay? And I think a lot of us do find that our   love of reading can sometimes be constrained by  our lack of funds. I know I definitely feel that,   I don't have a lot of cash to splash, and also,  I’m not a big spender anyway. You wouldn't know   that by looking at my house - my house is really,  really cluttered and I am on a kind of mission   (if I can get off the sofa…), I’m on a kind of  mission to really declutter my entire house,   my entire existence. And for me that  involves any sort of excess spending,   particularly things like clothes, or toys for  the kids that they are never going to play with.   It's just it's a waste of money, it's bad for the  environment, it funds capitalism. But with books,   yes, I use my library - and you should always use  your library! Use it or lose it, people, we need   to be using our libraries - but I do also like to  own books, as you can see. I use them not just for   reading, but I like the way they look in my house  as well. But there is that part of booktube where   we do these hauls, and we are kind of “oh, look  what I’ve bought!” That's not why I do hauls, I   do hauls to share books, well - the same way that  I do all my videos - to share books that I think   sound really interesting, or that I’ve loved  and I want other people to enjoy them as well. And so by pointing out somewhere like  Blackwell’s, where you can still pick up   second-hand books that are cheap, and I buy books  from charity shops and things as well, because   I don't want to exclude anyone who maybe isn’t  in a position to do big purchases and have big   book hauls. But also to show that you don't  have to buy everything brand spanking new   to join in the fun of things like book hauls.  So I’ll get off my soapbox. I've got hair on my   face…it's really annoying me. Ugh! Been attacked  by my own body. Right, so where should I start?   Well, seeing as I’m talking about second-hand  books, how about I start with the second hand   books that I’ve got? So, two of these I bought  through Blackwell’s…I thought there was more   second-hand ones in this haul from Blackwell’s?  It's possible some of the ones that I think are   new are actually second hand as well, they're just  in really good condition. But these ones I could   definitely tell were used. And so the first one  I want to talk about Is Before The Coffee Gets   Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. I think I’m the  last person alive who hasn't read this yet,   so I don't know how much I really need to tell  you about this. And this is definitely a booktube   purchase because, well - I’ll tell you what it's  about in a minute. But yeah, I don't know if I   would have necessarily picked this book up, but  I know that so many people have loved it and the   sequel as well, so I just was kind of feeling like  I needed to give this one a shot. Because it's set   in a cafe in Tokyo, this is a very special  cafe because if you sit at a certain table   you can travel back in time. The  only catch is you have to be back   before the coffee gets cold. And so this follows  four such time travellers, why they want to travel   back in time and what happens when they do. And I  think that does actually sound really interesting.   I don't know if I would necessarily always  be interested in a time traveling story. Yes,   I know The Time Traveller’s Wife is right behind  me! But yeah, this does sound like it's going to   be really interesting. I know people have loved it  and so I bowed to the peer pressure for that one.   And the next one is Lucy Mangan’s Bookworm.  Look how lovely this cover is. Actually,   before the coffee gets cold - it's got a really  nice cover, looks sparkly. I don't know if that's   picking that up very well, but yeah that I think  that's gorgeous as well. So I picked this up on   the strength of the author. I really enjoy Lucy  Mangan, she has written a column for a long,   long time for Stylist, which is a free magazine  that you can get when you're a commuter. Which   doesn't sound all that interesting, but actually  it's one of the best magazines I’ve ever read.   It's got a very feminist angle on things,  it's got some really interesting articles I’ve   really missed it in the past, well, over a  year now since we've been in lockdown and work   from home orders and all that sort of stuff.  Because it was literally my favourite thing,   was on - I think it was a Tuesday - and walking  to the train station after work and seeing the   woman that handed out the Stylist at Queen  Street Station and getting my copy. And one   of my favourite parts of stylist - and I will  link their website in the description box,   because I think it's a good magazine, I’ve got  really good book recommendations from stylist   as well - and Lucy Mangan writes a column each  week in it, and usually picks out a topic that's   been in the news and talks about it from quite a  feminist perspective. So I definitely wanted to   read this based on the strength of the author,  but also - it's a book about books. And I love   books about books. If you've been watching my  channel for a while, you'll know that one of my   favourite books of 2020 was Cathy Rentzenbrink's  Dear Reader, which is also a book about books,   and I thought that was an absolute gem  of a book. So I do have high expectations   on this one. I don't know if it will quite get  to dear reader heights, but I just think there's   something so nice about reading about someone who  loves reading. And in this book, this is a memoir   of childhood reading, so she's very focused on  the books that she read as a child. And actually,   from what I can gather the ones that it mentions  - you know, it talks about Narnia and Wonderland,   womble burrows and rabbit holes - and I think her  childhood reading will have been very different   from mine. Some of the children's classics I  have now read, but I read them in adulthood. I   really didn't read children's classics when I  was a child, and she clearly did and that's what   she's focused this book on. So I don't necessarily  think I’ll get the nostalgia aspect of this book,   but I know with Lucy Mangan I’m going to get some  good writing anyway. So I’m looking forward to   this one. And then the next two second-hand books  I want to talk about are ones that my mum got me.   So, I got my love of charity shops from my mother,  I also got my love of books from my mother,   and every now and again she will pick up a  book that she thinks that I will like. And   she's normally dead right, because the first one  she picked up for me I’ve actually already read!   And this is Larchfield by Polly Clark. This  book I read a few years ago from my library,   because it's set in my town and that sort of thing  never happens! So I’m actually really glad that   she found this copy for me to keep for myself,  because, like I said, the one that I read was a   library copy. So yeah, this is the story of Dora,  who has recently moved to a new town. She's had a   premature baby and she is suffering with postnatal  depression, and her situation is made worse   by the neighbours in their new house - they do  not get on with them, and she feels quite hemmed   in by them. She's an academic and she wants to do  some work on w.h Auden, who had lived in the town   and worked at the local…well, private school?  Was it a boy’s school? I think it was a boy’s   school. And so the stories of Auden and Dora  are interwoven together, and I just thought it   was really interesting. What I’m gonna do is read  you my Goodreads review of it. Let's have a look… “as someone who lives in Helensburgh, I’d picked  this book up as I was curious to see what my   town looked like on the page. And it wasn't  flattering. As someone who loves where I live,   it was hard to accept that actually some of it was  pretty accurate. Much like many towns there are   pockets of entitled holier-than-thou types, and I  think the author did an amazing job of capturing   how vindictive these people can be. Particularly  those who position themselves as upstanding   members of the community, surrounding themselves  with cronies to try and force out those they think   don't belong.” I was clearly on a bit of  a rant when I was writing this. I said,   “because for me, more than a story about a famous  poet who once lived here, this was the story about   how noisy, nasty neighbours can really demoralise  and destroy a person's mental well-being.   Dora's story was the one which spoke to me the  most. I actually didn't warm to her immediately,   and I found the description of her pre-term labour  and subsequent maternity care very problematic   (inaccurate and fear-mongering -nothing irks me  more than irresponsible portrayals of birth and   healthcare).” Still ranting, maybe I’ve forgotten  this - maybe I didn't like this book at all? “but   I gritted my teeth and stuck with her, and found  myself relating to her fragile mental health and   sense of isolation. New motherhood isn't always  soft focus and happy families, and I thought this   book handled that very well. The shadow of living  in close quarters with neighbours who are doing   everything they can to make her life miserable  was so tangible, I wanted to scream for her.   I did enjoy the W.H. Auden chapters too. I  thought it worked really well having another   storyline to focus on, and seeing how the two  came together in a way that I wasn't expecting.   I know nothing about Auden, or poetry, so I can't  say how well he was captured but as a character.   I felt for him and the difficulties he faced.  On the whole, after a rocky start I really did   enjoy this book.” So my memory was right, I did  enjoy the story. It's written by a local author,   but she herself is an outsider to the town  and I thought it was a really interesting   perspective that she brought to it. I think at  the time we had moved from our previous house,   mainly because we'd outgrown it but we did also  have some really horrible neighbours, and so this   book really struck home to me as well - which  is why I’m on a bit of a rant in that review.   So that is a good book. And then my mum also  picked up a Liane Moriarty for me - Three Wishes.   I've said before Liane Moriarty is probably the  only sort of chick-lit writer that I tend to read,   and I hadn't heard of this one until my  mum got me it. And this definitely sounds   more chick-lity than previous Liane moriarty  books that I’ve read. It's about three,   33-year-old triplets - like what she did  there - and they're just dealing with   the things that 33-year-old women are often  dealing with – overwhelm, cheating husbands,   family issues and things like that. And I think  it's just what happens in that 33rd year of their   lives. So, I mean, I don't think I’m in a rush  to get to this book but it's definitely one that   I would be interested in reading. And then we get  on to the new books that I have treated myself to,   the first one I’ll start with…I’ve got some quite  short books, so I think I’ll start with those. And   the first of which is Zadie Smith's Intimations,  which is six essays. I hadn't realised – see,   dangers of purchasing books online - I hadn't  realised how short this was. I don't think it   was worth the six pounds I paid for it. I paid  full price for it. I like Zadie Smith well enough;   I’m not totally bowled over by her, but it  might be because I haven't read White Teeth,   which is the book of hers that everyone raves  about. But these are essays that she has written   about living in lockdown, essentially. So it's  really timely, it's really short, so I’m going   to get to this soon otherwise I think its moment  will have passed. And then…I have not put these   in order… oh, you've got a real good shot there  of my lovely lockdown roots that are developing!   I hope my hairdresser opens up again soon. The  next one was Grief Is The Thing With Feathers   by Max Porter – again, another book I hadn't  realised how short it was. Maybe I should look at   page counts when purchasing books? And so this is  one that I heard mentioned a lot a couple of years   ago, and I’ve been quite intrigued by. It's about  a family - a father and his two sons -who are   grieving after the shocking, sudden loss of the  mother. And the family are visited by a crow   who is equal parts antagonist and healer,  and he tells the family that he won't leave   until they don't need him anymore.  So essentially, it's a book…or   kind of like a novelised essay, I think, on grief,  but done from a really interesting perspective.   And then my other little short book that I got was  Passing by Nella Larsen. So I was meant to read   The Vanishing Half in February, and I didn't  have time to get to it. I'm hoping to do it as a   buddy read - my first ever buddy read - but I’ve  been really crap at making those arrangements.   But I knew that…is The Vanishing Half a retelling  of this, or it was inspired by this? But I thought   it might be a good idea to read this first before  going on to The Vanishing Half. So this was   written in the 1920’s, and it's about Irene, who  is living quite a comfortable life - her husband's   a physician, she goes to balls and galas and  things, so it's quite like a middle class/upper   class lifestyle that she's enjoying. And then  she runs into a friend from her childhood,   Claire, who reveals to Irene that she has created  a new life for herself passing as a white woman.   And she hasn't told anyone her real history, real  identity, not even her husband…who is racist.   And Irene is deeply uncomfortable with this  - I don't know if Irene’s a black woman…I’m   not entirely sure, it doesn't say on the  back but they were childhood friends and   they seem to have grown up in Harlem, which is  a predominantly black area. But anyway, so, as   Claire kind of inserts herself into Irene’s life  she threatens to destabilise everything that Irene   values. And so I think that sounds like it's  really interesting, I haven't read any books on   the topic of white passing African Americans,  and I know there's been a lot of talk about   this. There's not only the vanishing half, I’m  sure there's, like, a ya that's dealing with a   similar topic that's doing the rounds as well. So  I would like to learn more about that. And then   continuing on with the new books I bought, which  one we're going to talk about next? We'll go with   Elif Shafak’s 10 Minutes 38 Seconds In This  Strange World. So this this book had already been   on my radar because I had heard it mentioned on  a podcast, I think, but then I saw the author on   the Sky Arts Book Club - starring booktube's very  own Simon Savidge, yes indeed - and I thought Elif   Shafak is so interesting. She's, like, mesmerising  to listen to - I think I might have a slight crush   on her. And she was talking about this book - she  was talking about loads of other things - when   she was talking about this book I was like,  “okay, I really need to get hold of a copy.”   And I will see if I can find that episode if it's  still available for streaming, and I’ll link it   in the description box below. You know, all of  those Sky Arts Book Club episodes are really good,   I would highly recommend it if it's still  available to stream. But this book is about the   10 minutes and 38 seconds after a woman, Leila,  has died, and what happens to her body in each of   those minutes as they pass and also the sensuous  memories that come in each of those minutes,   particularly ones involving her friends who at  the same time are desperately looking for her.   And I mean, that that is such a brilliant premise  for a book. I know it raises, just from that   discussion that was on the sky arts book club, I  know it raises a lot of questions and issues about   how women are treated in Turkey. And you know, you  get a sense of someone, like, if you see writers   talk - a good writer can talk well, and she can  talk well. I'm really looking forward to this one.   And next up we have a Scott and Nelle, definitely  a Scott and Nelle book, because there's no bloody   way I would have been picking this up if they  hadn't mentioned it all the time. Because,   I have a book about cannibalism, people. It's  called Tender Is The Flesh…who's it by? Augustina   Bateresa…Bastarika [Bazterrica]? Sorry, sorry -  I really should look at these things before I hit   record. So, this is set in a world where animal  meat has become toxic and poisonous to human   beings, and so society has to – well, it doesn't  have to, oh my god – society, in all its wisdom,   has decided that it's going to eat “special  meat.” Made of humans. And this book follows   the story of Marcos, who works in one of the  processing plants for this “special meat.” Guys,   I am so easily persuaded. This book  is actually even turning my stomach a   little bit even just to talk about it, and I’m  gonna put myself through the reading experience   because of Scott and Nelle. Does this count  as bullying? Are they bullying me? They do   all these really great book recommendations,  and they put this one in the middle. Do you   think they're just laughing all of us who have  picked it up? I gather it's a bit of a criticism   on…what do you…like, omnivore? But like  the meat-eating aspect of omnivorism?   Maybe a critique of cat…catapulism - oh my god:  capitalism too. And I know that Victoria from What   Victoria Read also raved about this book as well,  so we'll see, we'll see how I feel. Next up I have   another sparkly cover, quite like these sparkly  covers at the moment, and this is The Braid by   Laetitia Colombia…Colombani? Colombani. Laetitia  Colombani. And it's about three women who don't   know each other, they live on completely different  continents, but they are all joined together by   this braid of hair. So we have smita - who is an  “untouchable” in India - we also have Julia - who   is the daughter of a wig maker in Italy - and then  we have Sarah - who is a divorced mum of three,   who finds herself with a cancer diagnosis,  in Canada. And they are all linked by this   braid. I was fascinated by this premise when I  first heard about this book - I think this was   a booktube recommendation from maybe before I  started my channel - and I just think that…I love   an interesting plot structure, and I  think that definitely ticks that box. I   think I can see how this braid comes  to be and how the women are linked,   but I’m just going to remain open and see  where the book takes me. And then I have   a book that I’ve been meaning to pick up for  ages, and this is Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi.   This was another…this is definitely a booktube  purchase - Emma from Drinking By My Shelf has   raved about this book a few times, and it just  sounded really appealing to me. But I don't   really know how to describe it, I might just read  the back. So, “Perdita Lee and her mother Harriet   may appear your average schoolgirl and working  mother, but they are anything but. For one thing,   their home is a gold painted seventh floor  flat with some surprisingly verbal vegetation,   and then there's the gingerbread. As we follow the  Lees through encounters with jealousy, ambition,   family grudges, work and wealth, gingerbread seems  to be the one thing that holds a constant value.   Influenced by the mysterious place gingerbread  holds in classic children's stories - equal   parts wholesome and uncanny - beloved  novelist Helen Oyeyemi invites readers   into a delightful tale of a surprising family  legacy, in which the inheritance is a recipe.   So yeah, I don't really know what this book is  about, but it sounds fascinating. And sometimes   those are the best kinds of books. I've  heard really good things about this writer,   I know there's a number of her other books  that I’ve been interested in picking up,   but this one by far came with the highest praise  so I think this is probably a good place to start.   Then I have a book that I bought…actually,  this was bought some point last year and I   just forgot to add it into any hauls or anything.  And I haven't read it yet. And it's The Beekeeper   of Aleppo by Christy lefteri. So way after I  bought this, I saw, I think it was Ange from   Ange with an E and Emily from Novelle Novels did a  buddy read of this, and they were both thoroughly   underwhelmed…which doesn't make me too excited to  read it. But at the same time…oh look, it looks   like that's my hand splitting in two. That's  weird, so let's hold that in a different way.   See, I’ve totally grossed myself out talking about  cannibalism and now I’m thinking weird things   about book covers. But yeah, I thought I would  keep hold of this because I am really interested   about the subject matter. And so this is about  Nuri - who is the beekeeper - and his wife Afra,   and they are obviously in Aleppo, when the Syrian  war breaks out. And they have to flee their home   and make that infamous, now, immigrant journey  from Syria. And they're aiming to get to Britain.   His wife has lost her sight and they're dealing  with unspeakable loss as they make this journey.   And Syrian refugees have had a lot of bad press  - mainly from the right-wing press - and it's   such a big humanitarian crisis, but beyond the  news I don't really know an awful lot about   the human aspect of the situation, and  that is what I’m always really interested   in. So I want to read this to find out more,  but I do know that I don't think it's a great   book and there probably are better ones I could  pick up to get that knowledge. But I’ve spent   the money on this one now, so I may as well  read it. And then I have also got not one,   but two Bernadine Evaristoes. Now, this is quite  the gamble considering the fact that I have not   yet read Girl Woman Other - it's on my TBR for  this year, but I’ve gone ahead and started to   build a collection of her back catalogue when I  don't even know if I like her. But to explain,   I have a good sense about this author - I think a  lot of people who I follow on booktube have read   Girl Woman Other, and Mr Loverman as well  - that's been mentioned an awful lot - and   they are the booktubers that I align most  closely with in terms of my book taste. So   I’m hoping this is going to  be a gamble that pays off.   Like I said, this one has been doing the rounds,  I think most people will know what this is about.   But basically, Mr Loverman is an elderly  married man called Barrington - or Barry - and   whilst being married (and I think it  was a happy marriage) to his wife,   he has also had, I guess a closeted - I don't  know if that's an acceptable term to use? A   secret relationship with his childhood best  friend for 60 years. And this book, I think,   comes into a time where his wife is getting  suspicious that her husband is cheating on her,   but she would not expect that it was a man. And  this is about that discovery and talking about   Barrington -how he's lived his life, his sexuality  - and I think that's a really important topic to   consider. Because I know we still have so far  to go when it comes to rights, but when you   consider the older age group who didn't have those  rights - it's not as if they were not gay people   40, 50, 60 years ago. There have always been  gay people! And I’ve not read a story about   someone who has had to live under the umbrella  of that prejudice in such an extreme way before,   so I think this is going to be a really  interesting story. So, I bought this one,   and this one came in a Books That Matter  subscription box that I treated myself to as a   sort of Christmas present. And I actually, I don't  think I’d heard of this one before it arrived,   and I don't really know what it's about  now so I’m just going to read the back.   So it says “scroll back 1800 years to Londinium  AD.211 and slip down the side of Gracechurch   Street. Here runs a back-alley beauty, a Nubian  knockout with tangled hair and bare feet -   Solaika is a reluctant teenage bride with no idea  about true love, she's too busy sneaking out with   the slave girls and drag queens. Until one day she  catches the eye of the most powerful man on earth,   Emperor Septimus, and the trouble really starts.  Silver tongued and merry eyed, this is a tale to   make the muses themselves raw with laughter and  weep for pity. Kaleidoscoping distant past and   vivid present, The Emperor's Babe sings a song  of womanhood and of survival in this thrilling,   beautiful, breathless world.” That sounds so good.  Like, I’ve said before - my historical fiction,   I like it from like the 1800’s, I don't tend to  go further back than that, but even though this   is set in AD.211 this sounds like it's going to  be a fun meshing of current day and ancient past,   and I just think that does sound really fun.  It had me at drag queens - sorry, not sorry.   And then also in a Books That Matter subscription  box - I treated myself to a couple - I got Skin   by e.m. Reapy, which is about Natalie who goes  traveling after her relationship's broken down   she's become disillusioned with her job. And  she does that typical traveling, I think she   goes to, like, Bali? Doesn't say on the back, but  I think she goes to like all the kind of Eat Pray   Lovey sorts of places, in order to find herself.  But what she actually finds is that she feels   more and more isolated. And she has this obsession  with her body, with her weight, and finds herself   more and more often eating compulsively to deal  with those feelings. And this book looks at that,   but it also looks at her slowly starting to work  through those issues. And it discusses a lot of   important things that women – well, not  just women, but this is told from a female   perspective - she's dealing with in terms of that  body image and our sense of self. And oh my god, this book could not be more my life. So I think  I’m going to bump this one up my reading list. And   then I’ve just got three more books to talk about,  and these are for book clubs. The first one is A   Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum, I mentioned this  in my March TBR because this is the ShelterBox   book club pick for March (so I really need to  get cracking on this one and get it started). So   briefly, because I have already talked about it,  this is about conservative Arab women living in   America. I think that sounds really interesting;  I’m really looking forward to getting into that.   And then a book club book that I just totally got  behind on, I think this was like December’s pick   and I haven't read it yet, and this is An Unsafe  Haven by Nada Awar Jarrar, which I’m actually so   behind on I don't even know what it's about, so  let's discover together. “journalist Hannah is   deeply rooted in the city of her birth, reporting  first hand on growing unrest in the region. Her   American husband peter is uncertain about their  future in Lebanon, and increasingly worried for   his friend Anas, a Syrian artist estranged from  his wife and children. Mussoon, an immigrant from   Iraq, works with refugees secretly dreaming  of a more tranquil life in the west. A chance   encounter on a busy street with a young refugee  and his mother draws the four characters into a   startling chain of events that will both test  and alter each of them irrevocably.” This is   “an intimate portrait of modern-day Beirut, where  everyone has a story to tell.” So there we go,   I was talking about my interest in immigrant  experiences. Although this isn't set in Syria,   there is obviously a connection. And I’m really  interested in what's going on in the middle east,   but also what has happened in the middle east  in the previous decades, and so this sounds   really good. So although I’ve missed the book  club discussion on it and things like that,   I will definitely still be reading this. And  then my final book is also for a book club,   and it's Scott and Nelle’s Read Under The Bed.  This is the pick for March, On Black Sister Street   by Chika Unigwe. And again, I talked about this in  my March TBR video but just briefly, this is about   four African women who find each other in Antwerp  while they're working the windows in the red-light   district. I gather that one of them is murdered,  and the experience of that brings the other women   closer together. It sounds like it's going to  be pretty hard hitting, but I’m totally here for   that. And especially, the success of the first  pick for that book club where we read The Death   Of Vivek Oji - and this is why I bought Tender  Is The Flesh, because I totally put my trust in   Scott and Nelle’s taste in books, and I will go  where they lead me. So there we go. So those are…I   didn't even count them, I’ve got no idea how  many books that is but those are the new books   for my shelves that I bought in…I guess, the first  quarter of 2021. God knows when I’ll get to most   of them because I have enough books on my tbr,  but I’m glad that they're here to join the family.   So have you read any of these books? What did you  think? Although if you thought they were rubbish,   maybe keep that to yourself! Unless you really  think I shouldn't read one of them. Yeah,   especially that Beekeeper of Aleppo - is it  worth my time, is it really gonna teach me   anything? Let me know. Next week is the one-year  birthday of my booktube channel, so I’m hoping   next week's video will be a little bit different  - maybe less about books, more about booktube?   But we'll see, because I’ve still got no idea  what I’m gonna film for that video. But for   those of you who’ve stuck with me, thank you  for that and helping me get to the one-year   mark anyway! So I will see you for that next week,  and in the meantime *kiss* bye! Oh…oh, she nasty. Maybe need to clean this one. This is probably not  selling the benefit of buying second hand books…
