I have been following you for ages (you still lived in Manchester!) and, as a booklover and someone who quite literally spends her days talking about books, I was so excited when you started Buffy’s!! I can’t wait to see what that little mind of yours has in store for us in the new year!! Please take Italy into consideration if u plan to host reading retreats!! Xoxo

“In an online world ruled by algorithms, there is something increasingly sacred about personal recommendations.” - Yes, this is why I love this space. Even online, it feels like a deep and genuine connected community! Thank you for hosting us!

Beautifully said. It's not obvious that you don't feel confident talking about books, I thought your insights were great. Nevertheless, I felt the same at the book club in November, where it seemed everyone had such thoughtful input and I was just happy listening to it for the most part. I like that Buffy's is a space for anyone who loves books and your style of curation, regardless of whether they can analyze it to the core (or anywhere in between). 🤍

I miss these long blog posts from you! I have been following you for 7 years - feels like I've watched you grow up, literally! <3 Not so random question, but how many books do you have in your collection? I'm at 510 in mine and keep telling myself not to buy anymore, but I just love being surrounded by books in my home!

Lizzie, thank you for creating Buffy's! It is so refreshing and inspiring to read alongside you & this group. I found myself disheartened with the internet this past year, but your space was one that continued to give instead of take. Thank you for your efforts; your genuine humility & sincerity shine through so brightly. I hope to be able to join an event (or retreat!!) in 2025 :)
