Your makeup and hair look really good here with that top! Great recs, I haven’t heard of some of these but they sound really good.

I’m so glad I finally had time to relax and watch your video. I’m sorry to hear your struggling and I’m here and support you. I hope with this new season you feel better. I have been in a book slump as well . I totally can’t wait for fallish stuff, Halloween, watch beetles juice and get thru my tbr. I’ve been building up my horror stack of books oh my I need to start reading before next thing you know it’s Xmas. I’m happy to watch any video you post 🕯️☕️📖🍂🍁

You look gorgeous! Literally right before I watched this video I filmed my own and talked about how right now I can only talk about things I like. This publishing year never really picked back up, and tbh most of my long-term anticipates reads from favorite authors ended up being duds. I already have five adult books on my radar for next year and I’m telling myself that if I only read those books, that’s actually a good reading year by most metrics….knowing that there will inevitably be more books. This is one of the reasons I like cozy mysteries - a lot of series have new installments annually so you’re not stuck too long without something new. But even some of the bigger booktubers took breaks this year because things have just been too slow and disappointing. I’m glad you’re feeling better!!

You look so pretty! ❤ thanks for sharing your recs

Where did you find the audiobook for “his black tongue”?

Whenever I'm in a slump I always reread "The Witching Hour" by Anne Rice. My paperback copy has been read atleast 10 times and it's falling apart 😂

Hang in there. You are doing great!

Dang where do you live?! You have tons of great LFL’s!!

If you like small town,witchy then i highly recommend Strega.

Love your shirt. Very cool.

PS. I have a signed edition of Bloom, if you don't have a copy of it I'd be more than happy to send it to you!

Sorry you've been in a reading slump, I feel like my 2024 has not been great either. Especially in the summer I've been reading YA & manga because I haven't wanted to commit to harder books. But glad you found some here you liked, I'm definetely adding a few of these to by TBR!

Brother is an amazing book

I feel you. I read every day but struggling to find books to like. 😔

Thank you for this video, i haven't heard of any of these titles and that was refreshing. Ok, I have read Darcy Coates and I have heard of CJ but the rest are new to me. I'm definitely going to check out Golitok. Thank you again for the recs

Both Bloom and Spitting Gold are on my Autumn TBR so hearing your review was fantastic! Massively looking forward to them now! 🖤

I'm digging your use of background music here. Really adds to he video. I know I suggested short stories in a previous comment, but I also think something humorous would help get you out of the reading slump. There is the Stephanie Plum mystery series by Janet Evanovich, so you might want to try the first one, One for the Money. Of course, Agatha Christie books are just pure comfort, and I believe I suggested you try Dead Man's Folly. But if you read graphic novels, there's this 4 volume manga series you might get some laughs out of. It's called Azumanga Daioh and it is a slice of life series about a group of high school girls and their eccentric teachers. I cracked up with it. Sometimes we need something light-hearted and fun.

Sorry to hear the slump has been so sluggish. I'm not sure the best way to get out of one. Perhaps a short story so there's not much of a commitment. Good luck.

Have you tried The Invocations by Crystal Sutherland? So witchy, so good!

I've been reading less but I'm blaming it on my other hobbies that require my full attention. I love puzzles too, they are great to do while I listen to an audiobook.

My only grievance with Cackle was I wanted a sapphic relationship, and Bloom gave me that in spades. 🥰 She has quickly become a favorite author, even her middle grade has been great. Glad to see you back, absolutely love the bangs!

Reading slump solidarity.

Eeeeee, loving the bangs 😍 I think the most important thing is that your content is creatively fulfilling to you personally. If that means only talking about what you like then I think that's all the better! Creativity is that energy and fire within that can feed and drive us without taking away anything from ourselves since creativity is endless (although focus is not😭) when you are at your best and most in your own zone then your audience benefits the most as well. You are a multifaceted and complex individual so shutting each of you videos into a box of "negative" or "positive" I think limits you in some ways. I looooove your determination and drive to ponder on the positive and good things in your life but also know that you are awesome as you are intricate. I appreciate the person that you are and im glad to hear about he books youve enjoyed recently. Been wanting to pick up bloom but you sold it for me for sure. ❤❤❤

Good to see you!!! ❤ I love the bangs and your shirt is soooo cute! I agree, this year has been rough reading wise. I’ve been in many slumps and barely read anything in August at all. Ugh!!

I am loving your fashion in this also what was your rating on pretty girl by Karin slaughter

Oh girl I have missed you your hair is so pretty ❤❤❤

YAY! 😄

Girl, your hair looks gorgeous!

You found so many cool covers!!!

There's something so comforting about these video's 🥰

I am so glad I am not the only one who dislikes The Secret History.

Very interesting video

Yay for new little free libraries vlog. I discovered so far 2 big little free libraries in the new town im moving to next month. Ive lived in my hometown my whoke 39 years of life lol. Time for a great change 📚🧋🦇💀👻

Another great video, love your book hauls 🎉 and your honesty ❤

Hella good find of that BOTM book (March 24). I love finding BOTM books because I’m always curious about who has them when I find them in FLLs

So many cute ones

How do you find little free libraries? Do you just drive around until you find one?

That's a river?! 😯 it's huge I thought that it was a lake

The Spellshop is 374 pages. I’m reading it right now.

Is Haunting of hill house (book) very similar to the TV series? I’ve already watched the series and loved it but I don’t want to know everything

Your shelves are so dreamy! I like the grouping similar colours together... it's very aesthetically pleasing 🥰

My fave is Teeth in the mist by Dawn Kurtagich. It's unlike anything I've read before and the ending left me questioning my own sanity 'cause I was SHOOK.

I need to go LFL hunting again soon. It's been too long.

So many LFLS so little time! Thanks for sharing. In our area we do not have tons of libraries. We try to go with my family every month to see if there are any new finds and drop off books as well.

Take a spider leave another spider

binti is really good!
