Whenever I hear people say the Bible is FULL of contradictions it always makes me think of people who criticize people in the 17th and 18th centuries who see everything backwards and aren’t enlightened as us modern people. C S Lewis rooted this way of thinking in “chronological snobbery” that our way is so much better than anything that came before.

I'm SO sorry that I'm watching this video SEVEN months later. It's been sitting in my watch later and I'm so behind on booktube. But hearing you catch up on what was going on in November was really lovely. Can't wait to watch your other video you uploaded more recently to see what's been going on in the time in between. I miss you and hope you are well!! 💛

I can't imagine calling that book pretentious. That is pure projection on their part. THEY are the pretentious ones.

You are very inspiring thinker. Missed you!

Hi Jennifer! I've got a bit of a strange book series recommendation for you. It would combine your love of fantasy books with your love of Slavic literature. "The Witcher" series by Andrzej Sapkowski has enchanted me in English, but you might even be able to read it in Polish. One of the protagonists even shares your name (Yennefer of Vengerburg.) Now that you have time for purely leisure reading, this series might be a good palate cleanser.

Wow, this is an inspired review. Genuinely fantastic. Thank you for this!

Congratulations! I feel like your graduate studies went by so fast! I know it didn't feel like it, my thesis felt like a brick slowing me down for soooo long. And yet I'm still thinking about getting a second masters.... P.S. I hope you love Possession, it's one of my favorite books

Welcome back! Congratulations on your degree.

I came for a Jen update and stayed for your cat in the Lisa Eldridge box. It’s my new personality. I loved hearing about your thesis and all the research involved, so fascinating! And congrats!

as a book person who knows nothing about Czechia or Czech literature, it was lovely to hear about your thesis. and yes, that was a huge effing amount of work and you should be proud!!

Congrats on earning your master’s! Your thesis sounds very interesting.

Congratulations and glad to see you back.

Missed you ❤️

13:05 Congratulations on receiving your Master's Degree! 🎉🎉🎉🎉Enjoy your new found free time! Reading at the beach, it doesn't get any better!!!! I would love to read your thesis. It sounds like something I could get into. When I was in college in the 1970's-early 1980's, I took a lot of Comparative Literature classes and Milan Kundera was widely read.

Good to see you!

Your looking like my favORite

It’s so good to see you! Congratulations on your Masters! In the time that you’ve been gone I finished my PhD so go us! Your thesis sounds so interesting as someone also interested in what prizes do and who they’re for. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

Thank heavens you are back, I'm sorely needing a few excellent book recommendations. Please stay with us hungry readers; whenever you go next, who are seeking inspirational contemporary fiction out of Central Eastern Europe and maybe even Russia.

As I am from Poland, I would love to know if your master's thesis included mentions of Polish writers ;)

The algorithm pushed you out to me and I’m glad it did!

So interesting!!! Loved hearing about your thesis!!

Jennifer, it is delightful to hear from you! I am new here, and arrived just in time for you to be preoccupied with your studies. The landscape in your thesis sounds fascinating - if you were to ever share it, we’d all relish it!

Jennifer! So great to see you! Congratulations on completing your thesis! Well done! Your thesis sounds so interesting! I hope you are finding time to rest and read now. All the best in your next career! 👏📚🌻

Congratulations on graduating. It's an impressive feat. As usual, I get so excited when you post. You remain my favorite.

Hello!! 🎉🎉 Lovely to see you!

congratulations jennifer !! recently been rewatching your videos as i'm finishing up my master's program :) wishing you all the best and looking forward to your future videos

Congratulations, Jennifer! So glad to see you back... 😊🎉

Happy to hear your book thoughts again :)

Yay glad you are back. I wish I was so interested in the topic of my dissertation, mine put me off philosophy for life 😂

Never clicked so fast in my life! Welcome back and congratulations! :)

Congrats 👏🥳 I found your thesis super interesting! I can't wait to also finish my master's but it's still a ways away 🥲 In the meantime I hope you read enough for the both of us haha

BACK LIKE SHE NEVER LEFT

Congratulations on your Masters! Lovely to see an update video from you, made even better by including the cats in boxes.

Congratulations! So happy you uploaded again <3

Yay! Congrats!!🎊 So glad you posted again, I love all your videos 😆

Congratulations Jen! It's great to see a video from you again. I've been reading The Museum of Abandoned Secrets by Oksana Zaubuzhko, but it's a challenge, because stream of consciousness is a writing style that I struggle with reading. I lost sometimes while reading.

Congrats and soooo glad you're back

Congratulations! It’s lovely to see you in my subscriptions again.

Congratulations on getting your MA!

Yay! Such a happy surprise to see you pop up on my feed. Congrats on finishing your degree! Really enjoyed hearing about your thesis. Found it fascinating and your topic very appropriate for you. Hope you're able to rest and relax (much deserved) before dealing with the gray cloud of nothingness. (Will definitely be checking out some of the books you mentioned too.)

Congratulations on completing your masters! I really enjoyed hearing about your thesis. You always have interesting videos, where I feel like I learned something and it was worth my time. Thanks.

Congratulations, Jennifer! And best of luck in this new transitional period.

Great to see you back.

Oh my goodness! The shriek of joy when I saw this video in my feed. I have missed your videos soooooo much. So many congratulations on graduating! I can't even fathom the amount of work you've completed and how much you've accomplished. I totally relate to the feeling of freedom after graduating from a Masters and being able to read whatever you want, but it was also an incredibly transitional and stressful time period for a while. I had to work on intentionally not achieving things so that my brain could get out of the grind mindset of school. But like everything, it will pass and there is so much to hope for and look forward to. I'm so excited for you! And so happy to see you back! 🎉🎉🎉

Currently reading The Idiot by Elif Batuman. Feel like you talked about this book years ago and praised it so had always wanted to get around to it since then... Loving it so far and I'm slathering over Ivan. Congrats on completing your Master's. Well done on doing all that research, sounds like it was very rewarding. I bought The Price of Mirth a few months ago but am not sure when I'll get around to it as have lots of others I want to get to first. Hope the job hunting goes well :D

Congratulations-finishing a dissertation takes enormous willpower and courage even though we don’t talk about them that way. Nice to see James English’s work mentioned-a little nudge for me to finish reading it. I wish you rest in whatever form that takes for you before the leap into a new job.

Congratulations on your thesis! I have to admit your old videos have been a comfort watch for me (especially your Robin Hobb videos) over the past couple of years and I'm glad you're back!

Congratulations on your Masters and welcome back!

Congratulations! I loved hearing about the process and research for your thesis. Omg. I’m excited for you and whatever your next chapter brings!

Congratulations on completing your thesis Jennifer. I'm one of those "five other people on earth"! 🙂
