Thank you for this video. It was the definition of coziness. Your passion for all the books shone through and I felt like sharing a cup of coffee with a friendly village witch in her nice little cottage. ☕

[lisabrooks]

[lindseyviera]

The middle grade books you read is always super cute

[knottyneedle]

Once and Future Witches. I have fallen in love with Alix Harrow. ☕

[Kriffle]

I had the same exact feeling about Under the Whispering Door! I had just finished Cerulean, and fell head over heels in love with the characters. Immediately, I hated Wallace. I was like, ehhhh. BUT....BUT! When I got over that and met the rest of the characters, I was all in. By the end, I was crying and mourning Wallace. It's so beautiful, and the redemption story is so satisfying. Loved it.

I can never get over how BEAUTIFUL your bookshelves are!! And also can I just say that every time you post a video, it brings a smile to my face😁

[bookbinder_way]

Hi! I also don't comment often, but since you seem to be a fan of Middle Grade, I just had to recommend A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge. I read it in 2018 and it became one of my all time favorite books. I have truly never read anything like it before.

[sophiasthoughts]

You should definitely carry on filming in that spot. The background is lovely and you look much more comfortable 😊

[simoneta]

The Shadow of the Wind is one of my absolute all time faourites. I was so sad when the author passed away a few summers ago, but seriously you should read it, once you do you will love it forever. He has a unique style of writing, the way he describes Barcelona, where everything happens, it's incredible. For everyone out there who speak Spanish, I highly recommend to read it Spanish. I read it when I was 17, and it was my second year in school here in Spain and even though my Spanish was still quite bad I enjoyed it immensely. This book is the reason why I became such an avid reader.

[abbypayne]

Can confirm — mistborn series is FABULOUS!! Brandon Saunderson is a fantastic, family-friendly writer!

[CassieLarsen]

I saw you talking about the first book in keeper of the lost cities and am now on book 7 😅 it only gets better!

[Nicole-Leigh]

I love that you have older and lesser known books included in your list! Well-rounded list!

[bookwormies]

Hazel bly and the deep blue sea is as amazing and beautiful as the mighty heart of sunny st.james💗💗 I'm sure you'll luv it✨

I’m currently reading both Bleak House and Amari and the Night Brothers. Bleak House is a beast so I can understand the intimidation factor - I’m only on around page 230 or so and I’ve been reading it since Christmas. Amari is obviously a much quicker read and has a “Harry Potter meets Men in Black” sort of thing. Enjoying both books so far. And as everyone else is saying, your bookshelves are everything! 😍 Thanks for all the great content 😊☕️

[joleaoshman]

You are so entertaining, funny and knowledgeable! I have learned so much from you as well as new genres to read. Look forward to every video, your reviews, ambiance, baking, shopping and updates. I especially love how you incorporate the seasons into the videos as well. You make so many people happy and smile...thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into these videos for us to enjoy. It does not go unnoticed... Be blessed!🙂

[suzannemoore]

One Hundred Years of Solitude was an incredible experience. I won't lie and say it was easy, but absolutely worth it. Good luck and enjoy!

[aftoncrain]

I’m 16 and just finished the first draft of a book I originally wrote at 11; it’s not likely that anything will come of mine but overall, I’m glad that I can say I’ve written a book. Good luck with your project🍀

[ewelinahernon]

Orlando is amazing. One of my favourites ❤

[julieinman]

I'm adding a few of these to my list to read this year. My goal right now is to read two books a month but would love to read even more. I'm also a crafter so I split my time between crafting and reading. Thanks for sharing!
