Big fan of Salt books. I really need to get a copy of New World Fairy Tales!
-
Hi, Jen. Let me start saying that this kind of video is awesome, and one of the reasons i'm subscribed to your channel are the unusual recommendations I get (unusual in the sense they're not what we usually see around booktube). Overall, I really appreciate those.
The only turn down for me it's that I don't live on UK or USA, and most of the international shipping requires an international card, which I don't have. But I haven't actually check all of the places you talk about, so I can't say for sure that's the case (let's hope not!). -
Hey Jen! I was wondering if I could make a book recomendation request. I'm hoping to do bookriot's read harder challenge for this year and was wondering if you could suggest books for some of the categories. Particularly book recommendations for the category authors from Southeast Asia, a book about politics (can be in any country and fiction or nonfiction), and a food memoir. Thanks!
-
Fantastic video! I've only discovered the world of indie presses this year and there's so much much great stuff there! Looking forward to seeing more in this series :)
-
Are the Hyacinth Girl chapbooks limited?
-
btw do u own a kindle what do think of them??
-
I like how u read poems out aloud. It would be good to have more of this.
-
Great video! There we go again - having to stop the video halfway through and clicking on the links and buying the books :P This time I bought Baby-Doll Under Ice. I really liked The Exhibit that I received not long ago, and this one also really sounded like something for me :) So thank you for the recommendations yet again ;) xx
-
Oooh, looking forward to more videos like this Jen! You've reminded me that I need to read more from Salt :D
-
I don't know if they're at all related, but your description of Swimming Home reminded me of Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch. Love that book! Very dark with a twisted, unreliable narrator.
-
I was just wondering how long it took you to recover your pamphlets from hyacinth girl press? I ordered one at the start of November and still haven't received it( I live in the uk)xo
-
I have learned the importance of supporting small publishers from you..my dear Jen!! Because of you I have purchased from each of these five publishers and adore the books I have received from them. If others have not shared how important you are to the BookTube community...I would be honored to. <3 Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and love of the beautiful world of books!! x I would love to add Coffee House Press!
-
Please tell me you'll be talking about Caketrain! I read last year's journal upon your recommendation and I fell in love! Have you ordered this year's? Or do you have any other previous issues that you really loved?
Also I was going to order The Evolutionary Revolution from Les Figues (that sale though!) but their shipping is ridiculous! It's almost as expensive as shipping to the UK :( I'm hoping I can ask for it as a Christmas gift though haha. -
Thank you for this!! I am hoping to submit my book to them if possible - I have an out of the ordinary, quirky book that WILL change lives and I really want to find the RIGHT publisher!
-
The Sleep Garden looks awesome!! I look forward to seeing what you make of it!
-
I have read the book collector and don't try this at home. I have our endless numbered days ordered. I also read the exhibit which I love! I've really been enjoying coffee house press, but I'm so excited to keep looking into these other prices you've mentioned. Thank you as always Jen!!!!
-
How do you find small publishers? I've found a few but they're Canadian which works for me, but I'm wondering how you find abroad publishers?
-
I've just bought Don't try this at home and I can't wait to read it ! And once more, thanks again for the great recommendations !
-
I like the author who wrote speak but I can't seem to remember his name
The Wilds sounds fascinating! Need it in my life.:)
