Entomology and Arachnology are my special interests and I looked up that book cover you wouldn't show and FUN FACT IT'S NOT A SPIDER! It's an arachnid though, commonly called a Camel spider but it's actually in a family that's kinda between Scorpions and Spiders called Solifugidae.

[BrewsandReviews]

This video made me smile so much! I love that you both got huge stacks of shame. 😂

[RebeccaReads]

In victorias defence this trip defintely counts as a holiday, meaning all book buying bans and restrictions no longer exist, as she is on holiday 😌🤭

I’ll always be here to support and defend the book purchasing habits 😂

[doreenarcher]

Lianne and Victoria really fun video. Added more to my TBR list. You always have the best recommendations. Just for me.💎💎💎💎💎

[AshleySmith-etdq]

This video genuinely gave me all the warm cozy vibes 💜 great haul

[unboundbookishnotions]

This was great! Love to see you both laugh and fun. Great recommendations as always from the both of you 💛

[writtendell]

How dare you adding so many books on my tbr! 😣

[anix]

Thank you for being real about having down periods. I think you're journey is amazing.

Cecily was one of my favourite books of last year! I love seeing people pick it up!

[bethmw]

Ooh the woman in the purple skirt sounds intriguing! That 'disquieting but wryly funny' comment would have got me too!

[bookishfairygodmother]

When your girl has two ear infections and is feeling a sorry for herself, she cheers herself up by watching you two lovely beauties!! This made my heart feel glad!! Wish I was there!! Minus the wonky ears. Xo

[susanthompson]

Love you both !! More of this please and thank you 🤗🤗

[andeeheartsbooks]

Added several of these to my tbe. Super happy to get Roaring Girls for 99 cents on Kindle! Love you two together, great banter!

[RebeccaReads]

Liannes editing ✨on point✨ and I’m only one book in 😂

[chelsey]

I read the awakening in high school for my senior year ap lit course and absolutely loved it. I actually just went through all of my annotations and loved it even more. I am so excited to find somebody who's already because every time I recommend it to people they have no idea what I'm talking about.

[nonfictionfeminist]

Ooh I want to read that Dead book too, it sounds amazing. Most of these books got put on my TBR immediately 😁

[ABookFiendNamedMel]

I love that Victoria’s mystery book was a book you’d bought on the same trip!

[welshreader]

Love this video already! Added The First Day of Spring straight to my list, sounds amazing👀

Bit late to the party on watching this video. But seeing Roaring Girls (which I loved) reminded me of another book we have here in Australia. It is called Sheilas: Badass Women of Australian History by Eliza Reilly. It includes stories about a First Nations woman who was a bushranger, an undercover journalist in the 1880s, a brick throwing suffragette and others.

I'm looking forward to reading The First Day of Spring as part of Summer Mix Tape Readathon. Roaring Girls also sounds great. Lovely video x
