Nice wrap up! Very cool getting to meet some other booktubers!

Love the nature photos, especially the honeysuckle ones!

[believeinyourshelf]

The booktube meet-up looks like it was so much fun. Those little tiny books you found are so cute. 😊📚

[ReadingIDEAS.-uzxk]

Some great books there. Best wishes for a great summer.

[LaynasBookshelf]

So great to meet you this weekend! And so glad I found your channel😊

[Greta.Anderson]

📚 so fun you got to go to a meetup! I’m looking forward to reading The Blue Castle.

[lindsaylou_lemus]

So many good books to add to your shelves!

[novelideea]

I watch you in the mornings when I sip my one cup of coffee for the day! 😁

[emmareads]

I completely agree with your review of the Midnight Library. I was glad I read it but won’t re-read. I read Jane of Lantern Hill last year and really enjoyed it.

[novelideea]

I’m so jelly -you got to meet Chrissie and Krista❣️

[lindsaylou_lemus]

That's so fun you got to go to the meet up!

[SarahsNightstand]

It was so great to meet and chat with you this weekend! Those little books are so cute, I totally missed those. Thanks so much for coming to the meet up, I'm so happy we connected!

[thelucychronicles]

In Search of a Prince is lovely ❤❤

I love your earrings ♥️

[lindsaylou_lemus]

I felt the same with the midnight library.

[protagonistspub]

The Brilliance of Stars is one of her books I am really interested in

[CandlewickLibrary]

Fun that you got to do that get together!

[BeyondBooks-wtil]

Thanks for the shoutout! Great video and wrap up of our amazing Meet UP! I chuckled when I saw that you picked up "How to Read a Book" - I have a copy that I bought a few months ago because I thought it would help with my channel. But of course, I haven't TOUCHED it! I just mentioned it in a video the other day...I'll get to it sooner or later! Again, nice meeting you in person and I'm so glad to find your channel!

📚! Wow I am so excited! We went to a monster truck show this past weekend in New Jersey (my son is monster truck crazy), and yesterday I was so busy I had not had time to jump on YouTube - so this was such a nice surprise!!! I also love how you did that spinning wheel thingy....I want to learn how to do that for my next giveaway - so clever!!! Btw I really love your editing in this video, like when you sped up your coffee drinking that sort of thing- so cool! Thank you, thank you so much!!!💕

[novelideea]

Those tiny little arsenic books are adorable! Even if they might kill you 😂

[novelideea]

Haha! I have that problem with so many Asian translations! However! I listened to the audio of When the coffee and it’s read in an Asian accent so it really helped!
