Snapback Catalogue #7 | Hello and welcome to all of the new subscribers! I’m so happy you’ve found this channel and I hope you enjoy the back catalogue of videos and playlists from the last two years.

I’ve had a lot of questions in the last few days about my background, my writing career, and other biographical questions.

I thought the easiest way to answer these questions is to share this video from a while back.

Wishing you all a good week and thanks for your support!

Snapback Catalogue #6 | It might be time for a Vintage red spine follow up video?? Let me know if you’d like to see one. In the meantime, we continue our headstrong trudge through the horrendously edited early videos. Watch at your peril! B x

Snapback Catalogue #5 | Wow. It really took me a LONG time to figure out basic filming and editing skills… Thank you to those of you who’ve been here since the early days of the channel and who’ve heroically (stoically!) stuck around, patiently waiting for me to produce a decently assembled video.

In this week’s snapback catalogue we are inching towards better video production. But still miles off! Nonetheless, there are still some fun book recommendations here. So if you can weather the choppy editing then you might enjoy this old video in spite of my fumbling ‘technique’.

Happy reading this week, everyone. And thank you for being a part of this journey, whenever you found your way to the channel!
