The Nightingale is my favourite of all time!

[ShanajayeandEric]

[latashamoore]

I read The Nightingale last month and I enjoyed it

[AlishaSheffey]

I love the advent calendar. I have the same keurig and I’ve done the same thing when making my tea 🤭
Lilys makeup sent me 😂😂 she’s so cute! I also loved the packaging on the candles you purchased. Great vlog, friend. 😊

[latoyaw]

Just found your channel ❤❤❤❤ love it. I told myself that I want to read for 2024. I’m a busy wife and mother to 4 boys and it’s my year of reading and growth. You’re my inspiration ❤ thank you for sharing.

I absolutely love The Great Alone and The Nightingale was also incredible!

[BookishIntrovert]

You have such a hearty laugh. Another awesome video as usual. I have a couple of Kristen Hannah’s books….The Four Winds and The Nightingale.

[bandrea]

The Great Alone is a perfect winter read. 5 stars for me. Not a light read at all though.

Candle Day was amazing! It was my first one, and I really enjoyed the experience. I bought Flannel(masculine and I love it. Cologne vibes), Into the Night, Mahogany Teakwood, Cozy Cashmere, Rose Water & Ivy, Mahogany Coconut, and Vampire Blood(fruity). And oh my goodness, I loved The Nightingale!!!!

[angelaholmes]

Im currently reading the foxglove king by hannah whitten i absolutely enjoyed the nightingale i read it in one day it's brilliant

[rachelbolick]

Hey Joyce, Happy Saturday. Girl I love candle day but I haven’t bought any candles this year surprisingly. I love the candle scents that you picked out at bbw and it’s a great thing to go ahead and pick up fables for next year while they’re on sale. ❤ That sounds like a great book to read about the husband wife with the presents. I’m with the husband as well but I understand where the wife is coming from because she went through extreme measures just to get her husband the gift that he wanted. I always love your overviews on every book that you read to determine whether it would be a book I’m interested in or not. ❤ a fun fact my best friend is a author. she went to college for English so she could write because she loves writing. She wrote a children book and a horror story and she gave me a free copy of her children’s book. She would have gave me a copy of her horror book but I’m not into horror. I got her some books that would help her expand her writing and her books out to the world more. so if anyone else is interested in writing books and becoming an author there are really good books out there that will help you in your journey. ❤

Back to comment...get ready...LOL
First of all, I luv the braids on you! Now...the way I'm stalking UPS for my candles! 🤣 Did you get any of the plug-ins for $3.50 the other day?
Not the 50 page 2 star'er 😩
Ohhhh I loved Hello Beautiful!!! Adds 'Dear Edward' to 🛒
I just said that about all the books becoming a movie/series now.
I've heard mixed reviews about 'The Year of Rest and Relaxation'...that its such a sad book.
Your baby girl is too cute! ☺ Enjoyed per usz

Hi Mrs Wesley! Oh my! What is Candle Day? Is it one of those holidays like “National Donut Day”? My wife keeps me stocks with the leathery, sandwoody, cedars, scents that I like to have in my office! I think the coffee and whiskey is right up my alley. The tree looks so nice! Our niece decorated for us and did a stellar job. Dead person aside 😮 Let’s talk about that customer service! Right, “she starved to death”! A two (2)?? Sheesh! Tell me what you really think!? But yeah, that doesn’t seem interesting at all! Thanks for the warning! Those look better than my cookies! Are those from scratch? 😮 Why is the author name so large in “The Nightingale”? Yeah, seems like everyone is published (cough cough low sigh). The audience is definitely there and connected like never before! Like Dru Hill 🎶Never Make a Promise That I Can’t Keep🎶 hahahagagar! The tea Advent Calendar looks really snazzy! Yeah Tyla is everywhere and I think she is a shoe-in for that new Grammy category! If a normy-mc-norm-norm like me knows that song then you’ve earned it! Awe! Look at the love! 😊 This was so great! (Per Usual!) with the bonus mini vlog at the end! ❤❤❤
