I have only recently found fellow “paperback people”! I thought it was just me! I recently realized that I get super uncomfortable reading hardcovers, and avoid picking them up. I love the look and feel of paperbacks! I have replaced almost all of my hardcover books with paperbacks and now I only buy paperbacks. I save a little money, read more, they take up less space and I’m so much for comfortable when reading!

And thank you for sharing your book haul! ❤

Waterstones looks absolutely lovely. The colorful books really stand out with the darker colored shelving. It’s beautiful. Thank you for taking us along with you😊 On a completely different note, do you sell stickers and/or small prints of your drawings… the ones you show all in a row at the beginning of your videos and when the next scene is loading (the little dragon, teacup, flowers, book, etc.)? Even images we can purchase, download, and print out ourselves would be wonderful and would be a lot less work for you hehe! Your drawings and color scheme are gorgeous. I adore them and would love to purchase them if possible❤

Tress of the Emerald Sea..is wonderful.. Brandon Sanderson is an amazing writer.
Apothecary Diaries manga are my favourite. ❤❤

I love 'North and South'!! A must-read in winter for me! Hopefully you'll read it soon and will like it too!

Early May last year, I was in a truly terrible place, but I’d already committed to visiting New York with my Oma. Every day was a mix of wanting to enjoy my time with her while also feeling really detached and sad and stressed about everything happening in my life. That, in combination with the general cacophony of NYC, and I was so overwhelmed. I found out about a bookstore near our hotel and she said we could go. It was a beautiful bookstore, and I felt so incredibly comforted by all of the books, and the creaky floors, and the quiet conversation. Since then, when I’m down, I visit a bookstore, and I think about that moment, and I feel a little bit better.

Amazing video as always! ❤ do you mind sharing where is the little bag at 4:49 from?

I'm so happy that I found your channel, because after watching two of your videos, it seems that we have a similar taste in books and I also love the cottagecore style ☺️ I immediately subscribed. I also cheered when I saw that you got Hedgewitch! 😄 It's one of the best middle grade books I've read and perfect for cottagecore lovers ☺️ Another middle grade book with a similar vibe that I discovered recently was Greenwild: The World Behind the Door by Pari Thomson. And if I could recommend one more book/series, I think because you liked Half a Soul, you might enjoy A Proper Dragon by E. B. Wheeler. It's set in a regency era with magic, and it has the cutest baby dragons, some mystery, adorable romance and humour ☺️

That said, thank you for showing us your trip to the big Waterstones bookshop! It really looks like a book lover's dream and if I ever go to England and London, I should definitely go there too 😍

Bargain books Mossel Bay is special because that’s where my passion for reading started 14:31

I have got the same green blouse ❤ It looks beautiful on you.
I will be visiting London next month, and after watching your video I added this Waterstones to my places to visit, so thanks for sharing! 😊

Dear Ahya, this is one of the most amazing videos from you (although I love all of them). ☺ I really need to visit Waterstones. I highly, highly recommended North and South. It's one of my favorite classics. For me it's a mix of Pride and prejudice and Brontës sister's books.

Watching this in the library as a break between studyblocks. So calming, comforting and inspiring. 🌸🌈

[MM_VU]

Your clips live in my heart and I always watch them again ❤.

[Lonelygravesidewriter]

Ten thousand stitches is one of my favorites!❤️

This Waterstones looks amazing! It's literally my dream to visit a Waterstones in the UK one day🥰
