Perfect! I love that! 🤗🖤🎃

I’m the opposite on the book vs. show, but mostly because my favorite character didn’t last long in the book series! 😭😅 It’s wild how attached we can become to fictional characters! Oh, I hope you give Crimson Peak another chance! The setting is absolutely stunning. I totally understand the struggle with a slower pace, though. It’s so hard when movies or books don’t meet our expectations, isn’t it?! 😅 I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend, sweet friend! Thank you for hanging out with me here. 💕

I’m so curious to hear your thoughts on Sleeping Celeste, as you are the King of Gothic Literature! 👑 Crimson Peak gives me all the feels. I love it so much! Thanks for stopping by! 🤗🖤🖤

@@DarkVioletDreams Golly these titles. And always, my friend.

Thank you so much, my wonderful friend! It is a fantastic tag and I appreciate that the questions made me think! My brain really needs exercise! lol! 🤗🖤🖤😘

Hey, Al! Yessss!!! Bring on the caffeine! ☕️

Thank you! It was a great cup of coffee! ☕️

Thank you so much, sweet friend! Have a fantastic weekend! 🤗🖤🖤

😁

Thank you, lovely! Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed the novelization. If you ever get to it, let me know! We can do a buddy read! 🤗🤗🤗

@@DarkVioletDreams ooo love that 🤗

Yes! You are my people! ✨🖤✨

@@DarkVioletDreams 🎉🎃

😂😂😂 I love your honesty! 😘😘

Isn’t it great?! I’m enjoying the story so far! 🔥

Thank you so much, Jen! 🖤🖤🖤 I love foodie clips in vlogs. They give me ideas when our menu starts feeling stale. 😂 I’m glad I read Great Expectations to the end, more so that it’s over. ☠️

Thank you so much, sweet Bad! 🖤 Oh my gosh, I could have sworn my brain was broken. Thank goodness for little getaways via fictional stories! 😅

Insignificant Events was like a breath of fresh air. So sweet and funny at times! I’ll read A Christmas Carol again but I’m legit scared to try any other Dickens stories for a while. 🤣🫠 Thanks for stopping by, Sweet Nym! 🤗🖤✨

He was super miffed about falling out of his nest. 😅 Thankfully his mom found a safe place for him and they hopped away later that day. 🖤 I’d definitely be interested in learning more about Charles Dickens. It’s fun to get to know the authors whose works grace our shelves. 😁

@@DarkVioletDreams I'm pleased that the bird had a happy ending. That Charles Dickens book is the smallest I have. It's a tiny book.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I think I would have been fine if I’d DNF’d Great Expectations. But I’m glad I finished, if only to give myself a pat on the back. Hahaha! Thanks for stopping by, David! I hope you’re doing well!

@@DarkVioletDreams I wouldn't finish a book that I wasn't enjoying. I'm doing alright.

Best wishes! 🤣 Have a treat ready for when you finish. You’ll deserve it! 😘😘

Where is my personal pizza after all that?! Dang. lol

Insignificant Events was such a sweet and thought-provoking read. The cactus theme was incorporated beautifully. Truly well done! 🖤 I’m still recovering from Great Expectations, but man! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so accomplished after reading a book. Haha!

@@DarkVioletDreams At least for the accomplishment and Insignificant Events being so good.

Books are the best friends! I’m glad you made it home in one piece! 🤘🏻😁

🤘🏻🖤🖤🖤

Thank you so much! 🤗 I don't think I could speed-read if I tried these days. The slow life calls to me, in reading and general movement. I'm in my sloth era. 😅 Yes! Vincent Price is an absolute gem. He hooked me as a kid when I saw him in Edward Scissorhands. He reminded me of my grandpa who passed when I was seven, so the man had an easy way into my heart. 🖤 Thanks for stopping by!

They’re judgy little things, aren’t they? 😂

A Christmas Carol is hard to beat! ✨ The brain fog is kicking my booty lately! I’m hoping more water and supplements help because, dang if I can’t remember the simplest of words! 😅

It’s so hard for me to rate books unless they are a solid five stars. 😅☠️☠️☠️ I had so much fun with those audio stories! They helped me concentrate even when the household was wild. lol!

So good! They would be perfect next to a fire with a hot cider in hand. All the cozy fall vibes. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

The brain fog drives me bonkers sometimes! 😅☠️ Yes! Truly fascinating! I’d never read so much of his work at once. Experiencing so many of his stories in a short period was such a treat! 🖤 Thank you for stopping by! 🤗

I can’t help but laugh every time I say his full name out loud. I didn’t think much about it until I started talking to Jeff about the book. 😆 The Poe Collection is one of my favorite books, both in content and looks. 🖤🖤🖤 Thank you for stopping by! 🤗

Total Wonder vibes! The mc is a fierce little cookie! I love that there is such powerful representation in middle grade books. Makes my mama heart so happy! It’s wild how those books we set aside can pile up so quickly! 📚 Thanks for stopping by! 🤗🖤🖤

So much fun! The kids and I are already looking forward to next year. 😁
