Of course it's valid to love other seasons, but fall is just objectively the best😗🧡 Seriously though, love the vlog, and the fall haul! The snail is my favourite, what a cutie🧡 I really appreciate your reflection on From Blood and Ash, as I haven't been sure about whether I want to pick it up. Glad you liked Keeper of Enchanted Rooms, it sounds really adorable. Looking forward to all of the fall recs! My only fall TBR books at the moment are continuing on with the next book in the Veronica Speedwell Mystery series, A Murderous Relation, and a Promise in Fire by Jasmine Walt.

I jusy found your channel and you had me laughing with you during the outtakes. 🙂

I loved the river enchanted and fire endless! I didn't really like a Novel love story either, however i really enjoyed the Dead romantics and The Seven Year Slip. The ex hex and kiss curse were really cute.

Thank you for taking the time to film this video. I have been searching for something like this for awhile now. I learned a lot! I can't wait to try this myself. 😊

Love the cozy vibe of this video and the recommendations! I’ll be sure to check some of them out! I have read and enjoyed the Night Circus! I’ll have to check out A River Enchanted! That one sounded so interesting!

A fall recommendation for the Jane Eyre lovers: Villette by Charlotte Bronte This is arguably my favorite Bronte work. Critics believe it is semi-autobiographical, and the reader can glean some insight into Charlotte's infamous love affair with a married man. Think: a haunted school in Belgium, enemies-to-lovers, Gothic vibes, unreliable narrator, ambiguous ending. **a lot of the dialogue is in French, so just be sure your copy has translations

What a great little tour! I pass two every morning when walking the pups, and there are two others pretty close to me. But I did not know that app existed! 😳. That robot one was SO cool. Thanks for taking us on the tour!

Great video! Im watching a bunch of Little Free Library videos to get for my own (i start building it this weekend!). I love your format, and that you share the story of each one.

thank you!!! this is SO cool and helpful! i’m definitely going to utilize canva for my journal now, i never really thought to, but this looks so fun!

Odd question… why is there a spoon in your Diet Coke ? Lol

Just catching up with a couple of your vids while I do my journaling… look at you doing a monthly spread with the collage look!! Like you I’m new at this journaling lark… as always a good vid x

Is it possible to do curved text on Canva?

How spooky the girl on the cover of The Dutch House looks like you both or was it just me especially Erin xxx

Happy birthday. Best wishes with what you are reading.

Never read Sweetbitter but loved the tv show.

Me gustaría oír el sonido real,sin música de esos grandes y preciosos sitios❤

Payback’s a witch was such a fun read! Definitely a great witchy fall romcom book.

Great vlog, girls! 💝📚💄🎀

Nice makeup and great book recommendations, Elaina! Thanks for sharing! 💕🎀📚📔💝

Hi Elaina! Loved your video and how your nook turned out! ❤️📚

Happy Birthday, mine is Thursday.. I got myself 4 books and a wonderful hot chocolate mix. I loved Station Eleven...Have fun reading

Happy Birthday, gRLs!! 🎉🎂🍾🍸🥂🎁🎊

Happy Birthdays!!! Two of my sisters and I have birthdays within one week in May. My older sister is 2 days less than 2 years older than me, and I am 5 days less than six years older than the other sister (my third sister was born in June). I recently bought The Love of My Afterlife at Costco, but I haven’t read it yet (I’m kind of saving it until next year, when I plan to read all colorful and/or happy books…we’ll see how long that lasts, lol). I listened to The Husbands and it does get a bit repetitive in the middle, but then something happens that changes things up. You have me very intrigued with Station Eleven! I hope you both had wonderful birthdays.

Happy birthday ladies 😊😊 xxx and congratulations on 1000 subbies 🎉🤩 I’m a happy follower from early days and love watching the channel evolve and grow… fabulous work ❤

New to the channel, so I’m not sure yet about your reading tastes, but books that I’ve really enjoyed and would recommend are The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston, Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, Legendborn by Tracy Deon, and Amari and the Night Brothers by BB Alston.

Such great recommendations! Sweet bitter is really good. I worked for the same restaurant group in the early 2000s. My experience was not as exciting. I just finished the ARC of The Last Witch In Edinburgh by Mariell Thompson. Really good - Scottish folklore, feminist, Sapphic. It releases 8/20.

The Cloisters British cover is so pretty.

The one in Alnwick is my absolute favourite, they are dog friendly too and in winter the log fire in the frown room with the comfy chairs is sooo inviting. Loved the miniature train going above our heads, it was such a surprise ❤

Do you think it’s good for a 14 yr old?

I also had to buy The Spellshop because the cover is just so inviting. I just started reading it and it's really good so far 💜✨

Here are some of my fav fall reads! Adult fic: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Dracula by Bram Stoker (listened to it for the first time last year and was absolutely blown away by it!) The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte YA fic: The Luminaires and the Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard, The Drowned Woods and The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones, The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert, Gallant by V.E. Schwab YA graphic novel: Over My Dead Body: A Witchy Graphic Novel by Sweeney Boo Juvenile Fic: The Bellwoods Game by Celia Krampien, The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier (this is wonderfully spooky!) Juvenile graphic novel: Bunnicula by James Howe, Garlic and the Vampire by Bree Paulsen (so cute, a hug in a book), Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee (another hug in a book!) I love Alix Harrow's books! One of my fav authors! I really enjoyed Starling House.

I had to pause to comment because I read Sweetbitter as I was starting my first ever serving job having moved to a new city just like the main character in the book and that was hella trippy. lol (also the book was just okay honestly) Edit: Now that I am at the end. Also I have read Payback's a Witch earlier this year! It's cute but honestly, with the conflict towards the end, I didn't like it and I felt Talia came off petulant. Bummer though because otherwise it was really good, it just gave me the ick a bit.

Some great books! I’m also planning to read The Familiar and Vampires of El Norte this autumn. I read God of the Woods last month and liked it so much that it made my favourites of 2024 list. Starling House was just ok to me, it felt a little YA to me. Slewfoot was a great eerie, colonial, feminist story. It felt more magical realism/historical fiction than horror but it was very witchy for sure. I recall it made it to my favourites list the year I read it. ✨ 🧹

Fun video! I am also tired of the 100F days. I am so surprised you liked A Discovery of Witches! I read until I got to the vampire yoga scene and had to remove the book from my house ASAP because of the cringe.

I DNF'd Warm Hands of Ghosts. Couldnt get into her writing style and did not connect with FMC. Cackle by Rachel Harrison was a good witchy read if you havent tried it. Bunny by Mona Awad is on my Fall TBR and for a nonfic memior Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughtry.

I was watching/listening while cooking…now I must watch again to write down all the recommendations. I have a couple of the books you mentioned (I also bought The Spellshop because of the adorable cover), but I’ve not read any of them yet. Thanks for the brief descriptions without reading the back cover to us. 👍

Hi there, greetings from Mexico City! 😊 Lovely video! New subscriber here ☺️ P.S. Would love to see a Day in your Work Life... It sounds really interesting working at a library!! ❤️📚

I have lost count of the books that I’ve bought, just because I fell in love with the covers. My brief flirtation with ebooks is well and truly over. We will definitely check out the Waterstones in Bradford as it’s the nearest to where we live. Thank you.

Nice nails reflex color, is it effectual if you are in the heavy rain on the noisy street ....

The Waterstones in Bradford is my local one! Thought I recognised it in the intro! It is my calm space. Except for the time a toddler was in there throwing a tantrum and RUINING THE VIBE! Apologies for all the ridiculous construction in Bradford. They are pedestrianising it

O Caledonian is brilliant!! Recently had a real promotion again here in the Uk . Well worth a read !!.

❤❤. Read Circe ❤❤

I feel the same about covers. I strongly dislike the fluorescent pink uk cover for Weyward, I had to order the US cover off Amazon.. but, at least I know I have the desire to pick it up & read it..

Hello! I’m a new subscriber! I greatly enjoyed watching the London vlog. And let me tell you, I laughed out loud when I saw the chalice! My kind of book peeps! Looking forward to catching up on the other videos! Oh and BTW, I’m a librarian as well-a youth librarian!

I think the British cover for The Maid is gorgeous…teal is my favourite color (I stuck the u in there as an homage to England, lol).

Thank you so much for this review. I've watched so many extremely positive 5☆ reviews & was beginning to think I was crazy for disagreeing.

Amazing vlog, I loved seeing all the different places in the UK and your haul!

Lovely video… really enjoyed exploring with you. As an Aussie I hadn’t realised that Americans had different book cover’s until last year when embarking upon my Agatha Christie reading challenge. Thoroughly entertained by the writing style ( not about the description of ‘old’ ladies in their 50s !!) I discovered that the US covers are completely different. Can you smart ladies maybe do a vid explaining to us why? Because I can’t think why publishers go to so much trouble… especially when you’ve shown that your eye was drawn to the UK covers repeatedly. No need to be nervous… you were awesome 😍

Recommendations: Middle grade-The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, children’s-A Place to Hang the Moon, Short Story-The Yellow Wallpaper, adult fiction-The Traveling Cat Chronicles Happy Reading 📚

Yay! I hope you love Lonely Hearts Book Club!
