Do you post your recipes anywhere? Your baking always looks so delectable! I don't know where you live or where you get all your props or anything, but I love watching your book recommendations as well as enjoying the entire setup and ambiance you create! If you had a bookshop cafe, I would be there all the time!!

[@theatienor]

I'm always excited to watch your videos, not for the book recs only. but for the delicious snacks you feature! I have to admit,your attention to detail 🤗I get distracted by the treats and forget about the books 🙈❤️I love your channel🫶🏾🤍

[@KT-iv1ks]

100% agree!! It’s a snowy morning where I live and this video is nice and cozy 🔥 📚 🫖

[@amomentofwonder]

If I ever make it to Africa for our city trip together, I'll make sure to bring plenty of delicious pastries 😉🥧 It would be such a pleasure to spend an afternoon tea with you 🤗🫖

[@theatienor]

@@amomentofwonder Aww🤗that sounds like a dream come true.I'd love to share an afternoon tea with you, surrounded by the beauty of Africa.( Uganda )🫶🏾

[@claremiller9979]

I have such a long list of books to get from the library thanks to you, I am reading more than I have in years! My daughter is completely captivated by this channel (and really likes your graphic novel recs) - these books are a bit mature for her but one day! We both wish Brews & Books was real, and existed in our town 😊

[@abuzerluxor]

Yay new video :) I love these videos, definition of cosy :)

[@amomentofwonder]

Oh thank you 🤗 that's such a compliment, cosy and comfortable vibes are exactly what I want for my videos 📚🫖🥧

[@saramm3765]

Hearing that makes me very happy, thank you 🤗❤️

[@GrafMon]

I absolutely love your Brew and Books videos and I always look forward to them! I read All the Dead Lie Down at your recommendation, and it was amazing. I've also found a few other books because of your videos, so I really appreciate them - not only your fantastic recommendations, but also the cozy, autumnal atmosphere of these videos! I actually just finished reading All That Consumes Us today (it's definitely a new favorite for me, I loved it) and I even thought of how I could easily imagine that book in one of your videos and now I opened KZbin just to see it in the thumbnail of your video!😂 I'm glad to hear you enjoyed In These Hallowed Halls - I can't wait to read it soon! If We Were Villains is my favorite book so I will also be picking it up because of M.L. Rio hahah Thanks for your videos, and I hope you're having a beautiful fall🍂

[@amomentofwonder]

It's always so nice to catch up with a fellow book lover who has a similar taste in books 🤗❤️ I'm glad to hear you enjoyed "All the Dead lie down"! And "All that consumes us" is definitely a new favourite for me too, it really had exactly the atmosphere and feeling I want from a good dark academia/gothic book 🖤👻 Thanks for the recommendation of "If we were villians", I had it on my wish list and have now taken your comment as an incentive to order it 😁📚

[@_itslaura_]

@amomentofwonder Yes, I completely agree!😌 I'm so glad to hear that you're going to read If We Were Villains - it has the perfect dark academia/autumnal atmosphere and allows you to do a lot of reading between the lines, which I personally love! I really hope you'll enjoy it!😊

[@kimberlyjackson]

Wonderful book reviews, gorgeous treats, and divine music!

[@amomentofwonder]

Thank you Dear, happy to hear you enjoyed the video 🤗❤️📚

[@francineh.7825]

I didn't know there was a new Juneau Black book out! Your desserts looked amazing 🧡

[@amomentofwonder]

I also only saw it by chance - somehow I had thought the series was finished, but was of course all the happier that I was wrong 📚🦊🍁 It really was a wonderful addition!

[@lililoves]

I'm in love with all your videos ❤ Your kitchen is a dream. 😍

[@amomentofwonder]

Awww, thank you Lili 🤗❤️ Have a lovely day my Dear!

[@JaneStewart-m1r]

Thank you for such a comfy video. So soothing .

[@amomentofwonder]

It is my pleasure, i'm happy to hear the video brought you some comefort and coziness 🤗🫖📚

[@patriciamorrison7671]

My favorite videos. I look forward to everyone.

[@amomentofwonder]

Thank you, that's so sweet of you 🤗

[@tativlogspain]

Hello, dear! Your videos are always magic and magic! And also inspiration and beauty! Thank you for that!❤

[@amomentofwonder]

Thank you so much Tati 🤗❤️

[@pixiemama]

Let me treat you to a cup of tea this time! 🍁🍵🧡 You and your videos are lovely and sweet.

[@amomentofwonder]

Oh that's so kind, thank you very much for the support - and the cup of tea of course 🤗❤️ I'll make sure to enjoy it in peace and quiet with a good book. Thank you 📚🫖🥰

[@BethMariex]

I like your channel. It's very unique and the book recommendations are great. ☕

[@ElkePhilipp]

Mal wieder ein sehr schönes Video und sehr inspirierend. Es mach Lust auf mehr ❤

[@amomentofwonder]

🤗😘🥰

[@MsA277]

A tip for the hospitality! It’s the extra little things: the sift, the drizzle, the dollop, the stir, and the warm welcomes, that makes this series so cozy

[@amomentofwonder]

I really can't thank you enough for the constant support of my channel 🤗❤️ That is so generous and kind of you. And thank you for the lovely comment as well 📚🫖

[@Mary_Moos]

I’m a fan of Brews & Books 🧡. Such a unique concept, I love it 😘.

[@amomentofwonder]

Thank you very very much 🤗❤️

[@thelostivy]

So beautiful as per usual! The colours in this are so relaxing and the food hehe, so yummy! Such a unique channel, I know you'll get to the millions! 🥰

[@margaretforsey7763]

I’ve been meaning to read a Juneau Black mystery for a while now…..I think this is my sign to finally do so! I love this video, as always. Happy Halloween week! 🍂🎃🕷️🍄‍🟫

[@amomentofwonder]

Oh, in that case you are in for a treat! The Juneau Black books are really quite wonderful cosy mysteries. I once read they were "like Beatrix Potter's books, only for adults" and the comparison is really apt. I enjoyed them immensely! 🦊🍁📚

[@margaretforsey7763]

@@amomentofwonder Yay! It is wonderful to have good books to look forward to. 🙂💕

[@CozyRevolution]

So many wonderful books to add to my list! Thank you!❤ XxxRichalyn

[@amomentofwonder]

Always a pleasure to help your TBR grow my dear 😉📚

[@mrandmrsprague]

Hello, Nessa! I'm so glad that I've found your channel! It's so good and relaxing! I am a book liver too, so thank you for sharing those titles with us. I haven't read any of them yet. All the best, greetings from your new subscriber from Prague 💛💛💛

[@TheMennomilist]

Aw, I am reading Twilight Falls right now and look forward to Summers End in time. It is such a great series. I have loved all the books so much.

[@amomentofwonder]

I couldn't agree more, I also really enjoyed the series ❤️📚 Summers End is perhaps a touch less cosy as it's not set in homely Shady Hollow, but it had the best "who done it?" of all the books in my opinion. I can't wait to hear how you like it 🤗

[@TheMennomilist]

@@amomentofwonder Oh that is so good to know! Thanks.

[@NishHomeLife]

With the beautiful things you create amazing video dear ❤️ love All the goodie’s and teapots ❤❤❤ Love your outfit 😍 Have a wonderful day dear!!

[@KateCheckedOut]

I wish this place was real ❤ I love these videos so much h

[@amomentofwonder]

I wish that too 📚🥧🫖 who knows, maybe one day it will be real 😁

[@spikespecter8891]

Looove your videos!!♥♥♥

[@amomentofwonder]

Thaaaaank you 🤗❤️

[@Berkyt27]

Wake up babe, Brews & Books is open today, I wanna get a good spot by the fire

[@amomentofwonder]

Hahaha 😂❤️ "We have to hurry, otherwise all the good teapots will be gone!" 😉🫖

[@tmargaretobrien]

Always enjoy your videos and when you get a chance would love to see the great and drink you served listed with each titled 😊

[@amomentofwonder]

Oh you're right, I meant to do that but forgot 😵‍💫 I'll make sure to add a small description of the treats and deinks to the next video 🫖🥧

[@tmargaretobrien]

@ 💖🫖☕️🍩🍪🧁🍰 Thank you!

[@glittriga]

This video is the perfect gateway into the dark and mysterious world of Dark Academia! 📚✨ I love how you've chosen a range of stories, from haunting mysteries to spellbinding tales, that captures the depth and variety of this genre. Dark Academia has a way of drawing readers into its shadowy halls and complex characters, making it so hard to put these books down. Can't wait to dive into your recommendations for the ultimate cozy, chilly-night reads! 🍁☕

[@MatildaTheBookDragon]

Oooh Im so happy you made a D A video, with many fantasy books as well! 😍 have you read M L Mios If we where Villains? Its the only D A without magic that I've read. And then I read Babel 😍 So i have a lot of catching up to do! I have A Deadly Education trilogy waiting for me, and The Secret History as well.

[@ajnearhoof5071]

Hello! I'm a recent admirer of your channel ❤ May I ask where I could find the mug you featured during A Lesson in Vengeance?

[@amomentofwonder]

Of course you may ask, I always like to share my "sources" with you if I can 🤗 Unfortunately I bought this mug in our local TK Maxx, and there is no reference to the manufacturer on it 🫤 I'm sorry!

[@Lillyjoy]

A Lesson in Vengeance is on my fall tbr, but I’m a bit scared because I don’t really enjoy books that get super dark in terms of violence. It sounds really good though

[@amomentofwonder]

Oh, that is indeed a dilemma 🤔 It's a really good book, but there are definitely some dark and also violent parts in it. Have you checked out Victoria Lee's website yet? She has spoiler free trigger/content warnings for her books there. Maybe that will help you decide if the book might suit your taste? 🤗📚 victorialeewrites.com/a-lesson-in-vengeance-content-warnings/

[@TalesFromTheHauntedLibrary]

I have to ask, you prepare all these delightful teas and sweets, there must be leftovers galore - Who eats all of it?

[@amomentofwonder]

What Christof and I don't eat ourselves, he takes to work the next day 🥧 He works in a large company and has lots of colleagues who are hungry for pastries and treats, so there are always just crumbs left at the end of the day 😉👍 Ans I usually add fruit to the tea and turn it into iced tea 🤗
