The author is the best translator of the middle earth languages. Read many other authors, but this one is sure specialist in the Tolkien studies! 🥇

Great perspective on the theme too, languages undergo research done on their influence on human sensations and brain activity. This is book is great for both: LOTR as well as scientific reading addicts.🫡 ]]> ReadStatus9231658635 Tue, 25 Mar 2025 15:05:15 -0700 <![CDATA[V wants to read 'The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches']]> /review/show/7434828790 The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna V wants to read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

Good day to all,

My message is regarding the topic of adding newly published Authors/ and their books to the ŷ😊

The author (called, Colin Patience) - was one of closest friends of my family, the reason why it's not he who enquires, is because the author has very sadly passed away just after publishing the book, few weeks ago.

Besudes, my spouse Matthew, has also collaborated in the work for the book by having done full proofreading work, as well as being an author of digitally designed cover based on the privately owned painting.

My main enquiry is therefore about adding the book and the author to the database, with some guidance - as I myself have used ŷ for looking other authors work, but haven't yet supported an author to add their book here, too.

Please, support with any relevant information!...

many thanks 🙏

Excellent book...!

Lovely book, great when you just would like to snuggle up on the sofa after a long, tiring day/week!🍰 Similar childhood memories easily brought back - to those that the title characters, Tom and Hattie express to us in pages... Easy and sweetest read!😋😋🙌 ]]> ReadStatus8155093996 Sat, 13 Jul 2024 16:07:12 -0700 <![CDATA[V wants to read 'Sargent's New Monthly Magazine of Literature, Fashion, and the Fine Arts 1843-05: Vol 1 Iss 5 Volume 1 1843 [Leather Bound]']]> /review/show/6667444494 Sargent's New Monthly Magazine of Literature, Fashion, and th... by Anonymous V wants to read Sargent's New Monthly Magazine of Literature, Fashion, and the Fine Arts 1843-05: Vol 1 Iss 5 Volume 1 1843 [Leather Bound] by Anonymous
