Your videos make me smile. Once I get the alert that you've posted, I quite literally drop everything to watch it. You're inspiring me with my own YouTube channel going through a transition right now. Thank you for your time to put together videos ❤

It's so great how these spreads capture the feeling. I've never heard about any of these books but I feel like I instantly get a feel for they're like

Everyday I go to your socials checking if you have a new video out cause they always fix my mood even if I had a horrible day and the way you annotate and journal really inspire me for the future and helped me realise what I like! Thank you for making great videos!!🏵️

The Bear and the Nightingale is one of my favourite series. What gorgeous editions

[jessicajordan]

I have so much hesitation when it comes to annotating my books. I have always felt that writing in or dog earing books is blasphemy as an avid reader. Books are precious and should be kept pristine! I get anxiety when there are finger prints or even food flecks on the pages. (Probably stems from being a low-income household where library books were my main source of reading.) The most I would possibly do is circle a page number when there's something I liked. Very LIGHTLY circle. Also, I feel that if I ever re-read the book (maybe I should say WHEN I re-read, haha. I always do), I want a fresh perspective on it. I don't want past impressions to get in the way of new ones.
HOWEVER. Our dear Cath has slowly been changing my mind on this matter. I have seen the merit of having digital copies of books as well as physical copies (and the VERY beautiful special additions too, of course) in recent years after several times moving and physical books being in storage boxes. The digital copies are always kept free of any notes. But the way Cath's spreads are so colorful and the little doodles and notes in the margins make it look more like a reading journal and to be able to remember how I felt during those passages is a little like a diary.
So THANK YOU CATH, for sharing your love of annotating and books and doodling. You've made me a BELIEVER <3

Loved the reading journal spread decoration montage Cath. So many of these reads are in my tbr so I'm so happy to see that you've loved them all. Your spreads are just so beautiful and really capture the themes and feeling of the books. Another cute and cozy vlog, thank you Cath for all the work you put into these vlogs. I love that they're so long! 🥰💖💖

Love your video seeing all your books and journaling. Have a wonderful week and happy reading 📖 😊🪡🧵🤗🤩

Another wonderful video! The art in "Wonderling" was so eye-catching, I absolutely had to put it on my TBR. And the fairyloot books! Beautiful editions (I really need to finally read that series, might be perfect for Nov, hmm). Finally got the Spellshop today and seeing you annotating and gushing has me so pumped for it; can't wait to squeeze it in amidst homework and additional reading for my graduate classes, should be the perfect change of pace from that.
Again, thanks for uploading. Always great to relax and watch your content! (Also, seeing the cake threw me since I was ALSO eating a small slice of chocolate cake with that exact coloring and frosting lol perfect timing I guess)

[wendyhoward]

I just love your videos. So calming and relaxing. Blessings.
