“I’m here to read, and you’re here to watch” — done and dusted 😂

The third and fourth books of the Veronica Speedwell series are my favorites in the series thus far!!! I swear it gets even better from here

With the Veronica Speedwell books, the title makes sense after you read it. It's like a secret club you join.

While I love the thumbnail, I personally think the wax lips would have made a very fun thumbnail as well. 😂😂 I had to pause the video and show my husband as I was laughing so hard. Love your videos, and have to say that I felt this one so much. The sudden onset pimple, the period ordering of candy, and the hockey was my life for many years. Thanks for always being so relatable and real. 💕

I live in Ontario and seeing those French toast sticks I was like “well we won’t have them here” and it turns out WE DO. Thank you for spreading the word, I’ll be trying those ASAP 😂

The way I scream-laughed when you mentioned criminal minds 😅

i loooove the veronica speedwell series! i actually prefer the audio books over the physical experience, the narrator does a fantastic job

[firewhiskeyreader]

I did start Veronica Speedwell after you and keep telling myself to start book two but haven't yet, so that message felt directed right at me. Lol

I'm so happy that you finally read Four Aunties and a Wedding because I have thoughts LOL. For me the reason why four aunties and a wedding didn't work was because it just felt like Jesse Q Sutanto took all the things that people loved about the first book like the aunties dynamics and the overdramatic of situation and 100x it and it was super obnoxious. I thought Meddy was such a poor character in book 2, she felt very passive to me. Also I think it didn't help that the interaction between Meddy and her partner was nonexistent. It just felt like he was just there to pop in and make some comments and he was so much more involved in the first book and I liked their relationship in the first book so this just felt like the author left out a really important character. The aunties were frustrating, I say this as someone who has had to deal with wild aunties lol. The book just fell flat.

Kayla always drops a new video right when we need it most.

ok now just dying to know what it was you were waiting for on criminal minds!

‘A Curious Beginning’ was the first book I read in January (yes I read it because of you haha) and so far I’ve read the first three in the series. I really like the mysteries and the slow-burn, as well as all the science talk and such so it’s kind of the perfect series for me. The title of the third book is actually pretty descriptive but not sure about the rest of them

[alishacostanzo]

I highly recommend the Wisteria Witches series for a cozy mystery. She's a librarian and single mother who discovers she's a witch. Her daughter is sixteen and an old soul. They're both absolutely quirky, and Zara is the definition of an unreliable narrator. The librarian puns make me laugh out loud regularly. I think you'd enjoy the weirdness. There are paranormal references, all equally strange though. I'm starting book three this month, and I loved the first two.

I love how layered all your videos are. Such a comfort channel and you make me feel more well-read than I am 😅

[kelley.s]

I have not even read the first book in the Veronica Speedwell series but this made me more interested in picking it up sooner than later!

The banana moon pie isn't the original flavor. It's originally covered in chocolate if you want to try them again

[just_bea_weird]

After reading A good day to pie I immediatly had to watch Zumbo's Just Desserts again, because the baking parts of the novel reminded me so much of that show 😄
I agree with you though, that most of the time, cozy mysteries have a great hook for the first book that doesn't carry over well into a whole bunch of sequels.

[kamidsjournee]

Just for the record, I hate moon pies too. 🤢

The wax lips you chew like gum, but the wax will not hold up like gum.

I love that you bought a candy box and shared it!

Vera Wong was fun and felt very different :)
