I can't believe Jane Austen July is over already 😭
Grab a glass of claret or a cup of tea and join me tomorrow evening for a live wrap-up in which I talk about all the Jane Austen related reading, watching, and other things.

My new video took weeks to film and edit - it's all about the booktube making process, taking you through the video creation from start to finish: watch video on watch page

New video alert! I'm back with some delightfully trashy classic book covers - call the RSPCA, because this time we're looking at The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle. That poor pup deserves better 🐕 watch video on watch page

🙀‼️Booktube Q&A Announcement‼️🙀
Over the next few weeks I'll be filming a little booktube making-of vlog in which I take you through the video making process start to finish. I did that before some years ago, but it's been a while.
It's also been a while since I last did a Q&A, so this seems like the perfect opportunity for another one. If you have any questions about booktube, making booktube videos, reading, or other stuff, do put them in the comments to this post and I'll answer them in the vlog.

If you haven't seen it yet, do check out my recent video essay on the gendered nature of Jane Austen's readership. Yes, it's nearly an hour long.
Yes, I've done quite a few Austen videos lately... and there's another one yet to come before the end of the year.
But this video is worth watching purely for the following:
Contributions from fellow booktubers, Minerva being adorable on my kitchen table, and Bill being adorable in his attempts to do... accents.

Since it's the place to be, I'm also now on Bluesky. (This isn't true, I've been on Bluesky for months but never posted anything and also forgot my login). You can find me at bsky.app/profile/spinsterslibrary.bsky.social

More bookish videos are coming soon, but I've also been enjoying songwriting and making music lately, so here's a little demo of a song I wrote about Northanger Abbey. Full disclosure for the nerds among you, I know that Northanger Abbey is likely set in the late 1790s but that doesn't rhyme as nicely 😅 watch video on watch page

I read mostly classics and love to talk about them.
