Such a nice idea to read these old diaries for bedtime! I would like to read Maud I'll see if I can get my hands on it. Thanks for sharing 🧡

I usually read whatever book I'm reading at night also, but in the morning I do something similar to our bedtime reading. I've been picking up the collected letter f J.R.R Tolkien and they have been so, so good. He was such a smart and perceptive man. His commentary during the second world war when he is writing to his son who was in the RAF was very insightful. And you also get to hear him talking about meeting up with C.S Lewis and his brother. It's been such a lovely read.

A lot of my favorites! If you can find Charles Greville’s diaries, I think you’ll find them fascinating. He was a minor politician during the reigns of George IV (I think?) into the time of Queen Victoria. Events which are history to us were current event gossip for him. Just found your channel, will definitely be watching more.

This is great idea! I like having a book ready to pick up and read a few pages between books or at bedtime. I have Selected Letters of Charlotte Brontë and a Persephone book I got for Christmas of selections from Virginia Woolf’s diaries chosen by her husband. Deb

I love reading old diaries and letters! If you can get your hands on 'If ever two were one' by Francis Ellingwood Abbot grab it! Also Lucy Maud Montgomery and Louisa May Alcott journals!

Next November you might enjoy Edith Holden's Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, you mentioned you want to read more nature books. I loved Lindbergh's Gift From the Sea, found a lovely old copy in a Florida used bookstore that unfortunately is no longer there.

I bought Maud’s diary as well. September 39 to May 45, I think that’s the precise span of WW II. It must be very interesting. I love diaries and autobiographies. One of my favourite is Agatha Christie’s.

What an awesome channel you have Kate-I just found you!! You will love "From John O'Groats to Land's End by John and Robert Naylor. It is their record of the first such walk in 1871 and describes a country no longer with us!!! I collect a lot of these non-fiction/diary books as they are endlessly fascinating to me. I think you would also like sailing diaries such as Sir Francis Chichester's: "The Lonely Sea and the Sky", Joshua Slocum's "Sailing Alone around the World."

If you want to see and feel magic first hand, read a book before bedtime. To book your next dream, read before bed!

I’m very fussy what I read at bedtime as I need a book that’s cosy and relaxing. I tend to go for chick lit or middl grade
