Yay for adopting a senior baby!! I work at a cat hospital and we love our seniors but people often gravitate to kittens so it warms our heart when our lovely seniors go to great homes! ♥️

Weirdly a kitten was never really on my mind after George. It had been before, this seemed so much... I dunno... right. Though I love kittens, haha. That said we have some amourous behaviour which is very kittenish going on which we need to sort (and he has been neutered) out soon.

In a previous video, when you asked what we’d like to see, I said, “More cats!” You have delivered, and I thank you. Biscuit is the delight that is a ginger Tom - the little rascals of the cat world. 😸 Happy birthday!🎉 No, 42 is NOT too old for a KZitemr. In fact, I prefer to watch BookTubers who aren’t fresh out of school. The Artist Formerly Known as Your Mother is just one example of the many “mature” BookTubers doing a bang-up job of presenting the kind of content that I want to see. I recently read “Mona of the Manor” and enjoyed it very much. I’ve just finished “James” by Percival Everett; a story told from the perspective of the enslaved character Jim from “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” and I highly recommend it. Now I’m reading a wonderful new nonfiction book by naturalist Sy Montgomery, “Secrets of the Octopus.” 🐙

While I love the fresh vibrant energy of younger book tubers, I also really appreciate the perspective and thoughtfulness that more seasoned readers bring to the mix as well. Besides you got your mom into this, how would you explain suddenly being too old haha.

Happy birthday, Simon! Aww, your kitty is adorable -- keep us posted on how the integration with your other kitties is going. I'm just happy to see you talking about books in any way you want to. I love your book challenge on storygraph, I love your book hauls, I love your mom and you together, I love all of it! I also have wanted to read more Australian fiction, and so I've been following a booktuber called Gunpowder, fiction & plot. He's really fun, and I adore his recommendations. I would *love* to watch you unpack all those bags and reorganize your library. I'm currently reading The Still Point by Greenwood, and just finished Elena Knows by Pineiro, and So Late in the Day. Good lord, Keegan is an amazing writer! One of my recent favorites is Monstrilio by Cordova. I hope you have a great birthday!

Simon, I found this wacky book thing that you might find interesting. I'm following the Tournament of Books, as I usually do, every year since 2015. That's not the thing, but as I was reading lit articles, I saw this in the online magazine, Electric Lit: The Tournament of Sadness! It's a sad books competition! Sigh, the perfect thing for me! There's a bracket and everything, and I'm totally geeking out over it! Round 1 started yesterday, and I haven't been able to find the actual battle, and it doesn't seem like I can copy a link to the article here. Anyway, I googled "electric lit sadness" to find it. Maybe you'd be into it?

Happy Birthday! Biscuit is a lovely present. He looks to be settling in so well. I just really surprised myself and absolutely inhaled Kate Foster's The Maiden, which is obviously on the Women's Prize for Fiction longlist. I listened on audio, and loved all three of the Scottish narrators. I would never have picked it up left to my own devices so am so glad it was longlisted. Will be interested to hear your thoughts when you get to it.

Mostly picking up books I had been meaning to read for ages (but not really enjoying them as much as I hoped) or getting distracted by shiny new projects. Finished Winter Love by Han Suyin this morning, a wonderful book I have no recollection of ordering but flew through. That's mostly what I want these days, fast paced immersive books.

Living in South Africa, we do not have access to the lovely book stores you and Louise love to browse in, but one of the benefits of a certain retailer which shall not be named, is that your can peruse via samples and then order from whichever retailer offers the best deal. I have also enjoyed Maupin’s books for many years and have re and re-read the first six Tales of the City books numerous times. What I love most about his writing is how he can make absolutely absurd plots completely believable.

Happy, Happy Birthday. I have a soft spot for ginger kitties. I'm very impressed about your decision to add a new family member - well thought through. Biscuit is an adorable kitty.

Happy Birthday, and many more! Hello Biscuit! I am reading Adrian Tinniswood’s “Noble Ambitions: The Fall and Rise of the English Country House after World War II” and Rebecca K Reilly’s “Greta & Valdin” (RKR is a Māori novelist from New Zealand - one ‘for queer romantics everywhere’ to add to your antipodean reading?)

Happy birthday! 🎂 I really enjoy your videos whatever the topic and you sharing your thoughts and experiences around you reading sounds fantastic. I feel like you could talk about recycling and make it enjoyable. Would also love to see you organizing the library, no pressure to do it all at once. Shuffle and chat, make it a series. I’ll bring a cuppa. My birthday wish for you is just for you to be kind to yourself. Goals are great, but I heard a lot of “more” and that’s great if it’s what you want. Just remember to scale back on other things to make room for it. And I’m currently reading The Maiden, obviously. Happy birthday again!

Being kind to myself has been a huge goal this year and I’m definitely working on it. The library sorting will appear but on patreon. It’s meant to be a monthly series but that hasn’t quite happened. Oops.

Happy birthday, Simon. I just finished Cursed Bread by Sophie Mackintosh, which is based on a true incident of mass poisoning in a French village in 1951. Funny that you voiced your intention to read more Australian books. I just now rooted through several stacks of recently bought books to find my next read and settled on The Beast's Garden by Kate Forsyth.

Happy, Happy! 🎉 Here’s to many, many more! I’ve been slow at reading physical books this week because I was diagnosed with a wee bit of pneumonia on Tuesday and that and the antibiotics have me pretty exhausted. But I am reading the second book in what will be a trilogy, The Collapsing Wave by Doug Johnstone, very Scottish in location with a main character called Sandy who is an 🐙! Loved the first book and loving this second one also, just had to keep my eyes open sometimes. After this book, I hope to start James by Percival Everett, which I picked up from my local indie at they were opening on the morning it came out, on my way home from urgent care. Priorities!!! I adore Biscuit! 🐈

Oooh I’ve heard very mixed things about that one. I think mums having a slight breather from retellings, though she did read the Colm Toibin, as she feels the market is a bit saturated.
