Actually, you can still buy the Gialli Mondadori as of today. They're still publishing them. It's among the oldest popular "collane" still going on, along with Urania (always Mondadori) which publishes mainly Sci-Fi novels (and has traditional white cover).

Enjoy your reading apart from the Italian book. You could photograph the pages and use the images function on Google Translate, if you want a crude translation.

Audrey Hepburn: Breakfast At Tiffany’s Olly and Olly’s Dad: Breakfast in Brighton

‘P.I. Daddy’s Personal Mission’ OH HELLO I LIKE THAT ALREADY

I didn’t know you were from Brighton. I got to visit there in 1986 (took a double decker down from Surrey) with my English penpal. Her mom now lives down there. I do hope to get back to England in next few years and re-visit some of the places. It’s my favorite country to visit! Guess that’s why I love your channel aside from the horror books. PS: I really enjoy Bentley Little. He’s from my hometown (Fullerton, CA). Have a great weekend Olly!

only good book by Moore is Words of Fire, he's not as good a novelist as comic book writer, I'm surprised you've not read Les Miserable, I read it a long time ago when I had no money for books other than cheap classic editions, a great story which has been ripped off repeatedly

Monte Cristo is the greatest revenge novel, I think it and Don Quixote are essential reads, great books

Nice that you’re giving yourself a breather this month. We love compact and cute TBRs 😊

Last month I found up a copy of Shogun at a free little library that looked brand new. I don't know when I'll give it a try because I push big books off until later...which never comes.

I find it a little funny that some people can dismiss extreme horror just forgettable because there's nothing psychological about it. When it comes to me I don't care about horror book\movies characters because they're just disposable for me what staya with me is the gruesome nature of the kills that they go through or the off the walls that are exposed on these books. but I will say I wish they had all this but be just 25% more realistic I mean at least give the killer depth but as for the victim s I don't care about them or the dumb mistakes they make that lead them to the circumstances they put themselves in. Give me brilliant killer, one that can be Relatable Can you find yourself agree What the things that he does, That sticks with you and not like Dexter, that's just lame, but someone who dose terrible things because they enjoy the screams and control.

Have you heard of an author called Adam M Booth? I don't hear many people talking about him, but the two things I have read by him I've really liked. One is a novella called 'Angela' and the other is a short story called 'The end.' I can recommend both of them :). 'The end' is an interesting one because it's a zombie story but told from the perspective of the zombie.

great video thank you Unfortunately, turning pages in the Kindle app doesn't work for us. no matter what I set (whether page turning or scrolling)

Ruski boy

i had a similar experience when i read fanny hill this year, for a while i was shocked at the contents but by the fith description of "the act" i had grown cold and just wanted to finish the 200 pages. i did like how, in a book from 1748, they were still critical of the manliness of "modern" men, - he made me fully sensible of the virtues of his firm texture of limbs, his square shoulders, broad chest, compact hard muscles, in short a system of manliness that might pass for no bad image of our ancient sturdy barons, when they wielded the battle−ax: whose race is now so thoroughly refin'd and frittered away into the more delicate and modern−built frame of our pap−nerv'd softlings, who are as pale, as pretty, and almost as masculine as their sisters. things never change lol!

Finished reading the novel and absolutely loved it! Kawada is the best lol

I read the first fifteen pages and didn't like it. Very implausible and only average prose.

Thank you for sharing. I definitely gonna get one of them. I’m dyslexic and I need Bluetooth because I listen to it on my phone. I love books but I can’t read them. I’m not very good at reading being dyslexic. I can’t pick up a book and read it straight I struggle with it and I listen to books on my phone and I seen that Scott That be brilliant and being dyslexic people need colour and I don’t do much to the brain strange thank you for sharing 👍👍📕📕📕 sorry for my spelling 🙏🏽

Imajica by clive barker :)

This sounds like a fab event. I love The Red House Mystery. Maybe time for a reread 😊

I'm almost done reading You'd Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I was afraid it was going to be an over-the-top, campy villain story, but it's been a nice read. I like the honesty/bluntness of the character, even if I don't really like the character or what she does, at least she's honest about why she does it.

I jumped ahead and started Recursion the other day. Almost done. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!!!

MONTE CRISTO is very good, but I prefer Dumas' THREE MUSKETEERS. I know someone who reads GONE WITH THE WIND again every year. I can't imagine.

Looks like a wonderful TBR! So glad you got a copy of Letters to the Purple Satin Killer! And yay for the t-shirt 🔪🩸

I read "those across the river" recently. Was a super fun and horrifying werewolf book.

Good to hear/see you putting the boots 🥾into some lame fiction.

Did you ever read it? If so, did you enjoy it? I’m reading his newest collection right now called “This Skin Was Once Mine.” So far so good.

This is one of the things I love about books- that people can have such different opinions of the same work. Hawk Mountain reminded me more of something like John Knowles than Highsmith. (I'm one of those who loved it.) That cover is much cooler though than the one I have!

I like reading negative reviews of books I liked to see what annoyed people about it. Sometimes the criticisms give me another insight on the book that I missed, which is interesting. Sometimes people are like, "there were too many big words," and that's not so handy.

I second everything you said. I DNF’d though because it did not keep my interest at all and during the second part I got frustrated with the reading experience.

I read this last year and enjoyed the experience, but I don’t remember a single thing about it.

Gave that book a Hawk Tuah!

Giallo July, eh? Might this be a GarbAugust preface? Good luck with this event!

I definitely agree that the first part was the best part. I remember my jaw actually dropped at the end of part 1! I didn't mind the middle part, but I read it on audio, so I wonder if that helped it not feel like as much of a slog for me. Sorry it wasn't a hit for you, but I'm still glad you read it. I'll have to check out Patricia Highsmith 👀

Thanks for the review, Olly. Hope the next book is better for you. Happy reading.

No Don Quixote? Fuck off

Great cover, at least!

i had more or less the same feeling with a diffirent author, the writer is shaun hutson and the book is called epitaph, for some reason i just could not get into the story

I had a similar experience with the book. The prose didn't bother me that much, but it really felt like he tipped his hand too much in places and I could see how he was purposefully obscuring some elements rather than it feeling organic. I understand wanting to develop a sense of mystery about their pasts but it was a bit overwrought, and I spent the whole middle section waiting for another big twist that never seemed to come. I'd definitely read his next book, though, as I think he's got something as an author, this book just didn't quite work for me.

I DNF'ed David Copperfield three times before finally reading it. It's now one of my all time favorites. Great video. I get an awful case of the guilts when I DNF a book.

well sorry it didn't deliver for you. it is a debut so maybe the followup will be better

I finally finished Shogun and it was well worth the wait. I watched the original miniseries as a kid in 1980 and wanted to read the book before watching the new adaption. There's a beautiful hardcover available. 1300 pages. My favorite historical novel series of all time is The Masters of Rome by Colleen McCullough. They're all bricks.

We're around the same age and i have been telling myself I would read Shogun since I was ten... but soon! Soon! After reading Derek Raymond, George Pelecanos, the rest of the Hap and Leonard books, Amber Cowie, and Craig Terlson, and, etc, etc, etc,

I find the difference for me between watching and reading horror is that I have control of the visual when reading but when watching I'm seeing someone else's vision that I can't control. I'm really looking forward to your tier list video.

So Libra Colour or Boox Go Color 7?

Just shows you how reactions can differ. Both Duma Key and Lisey's Story are among my favorite recent King novels. As is Fairy Tale. Holly, not so much. I enjoy your channel.

have you read gulag archipelago based on true events? i really want to but its hella long😭

I did try the various options in the E-Ink center but none of them helped particularly with the color content. I have ordered the Page now and hoping that I will have a better user experience.

I see you have Giallo Mondadori series. Do you speak Italian?
