I need more rainy reading days in my life

[@hikari146]

Actually I don't really like rainy days, but when I watch your videos, I feel rainy days are great to relax:) Thank you for making videos😊

[@katievr9249]

I wish it rained more here in Australia, I just love cosy inward weather. I recommend Jackie morris her books The wild swans and East of the sun, west of the moon.

[@choupy242408]

Hello Hayley. I have just discovered your vidéos this past week-end and I love them so much! I'm french and it's a real pleasure to take à cosy break watching your videos and some pieces of your live.

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww thank you so much, and welcome!! 😊 I am so happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos! 🍁✨ Can't wait to keep sharing more with you! 🤗

[@JanetSmyth-vt2ug]

Just love your video's . Thank you. Keep doing more of what you are already doing so well. 💗

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

That means so much to me--thank you so much!! 🥹💕

[@susanspisak65]

I love thunderstorms ! I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I love the four seasons ! I want to read “The Maid.” Love watching your videos … thanks for sharing such beautiful content ❤

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you're here!! 😊💕 And I hope you love The Maid, if you end up reading it--it was one of my favorite books that I read this summer!!

[@missmusicalphoenix]

I actually drank that tea this morning! It's one of my favorites. I wish we could could get a day like that here in Kentucky. I desperately need a gray, rainy book day. It is SO hot and humid and when it does rain, it stays hot and humid, lol. Anne of Green Gables is my favorite book series of all time. I have read them all more times than I can count. Her writing style is beautiful, but a bit wordy. If your not used to that I understand how it could be hard to get into. I hope you can get through it this time though, it is well worth it! I seriously started crying I was so happy for you when you said your channel got monetized! You are doing amazing and I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for being such a beautiful person. ❤

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww I love that we have the same tea!! Isn't it the best?! It's been one of my favorites lately!! I hope that the weather cools off soon in Kentucky and that you can get some cozy rainy days. It's been quite hot here, too, and I can't wait for the autumn weather!! 🌧️ I'm almost one third of the way through Anne of Green Gables, and your comment inspired me to read even more tonight!! The imagery is absolutely beautiful and the story is so heartwarming--I can totally see why it's your favorite book!! And awww thank you so, so much--your support and kindness means the world to me!! 🥹 You are a beautiful person, too, and I am so glad we connected 💕 Thank you for being here and always making my day with your kind words and encouragement ❤️

[@juliaryan4866]

It’s raining here in northern Ky and I’m rewatching some of your videos for some extra comfort today. I have many books to recommend but to start I recently read “The dead romantics” and loved it 😊 and you can not go wrong with “In the company of witches” by auralee Wallace! Thank you for making these videos they are so relaxing and put a smile on my face ❤

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww Julia, you have no idea how happy that makes me--I'm so happy and honored that you enjoyed the videos enough to rewatch them!! 🥹💕 And thank you so much for the amazing book recommendations, just added them to my list! Thank you so much for being here ❤️

[@ediedee9931]

Your videos are a gift. So glad we can give you the gift of subscribers and views. 20k here we come!

[@janjentz1053]

Congratulations on your youtube milestone. I am new viewer and I am in love with the content. So beautifully filmed and relaxing to watch. Thank you for the book recommendations. I have been enjoying Laura Childs Tea Shop mystery series. Very charming characters and a dog named Earl Gray. Also Allison Brook , the haunted library series with a library cat named Smoky Joe.

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww thank you so much, Jan--and welcome!! 💕 I'm so happy you've been enjoying the videos, and I'm excited to share more with you! Oooh the tea shop mystery series sounds so fun--and it combines two of my favorite things, books and tea, so I'm going to have to read it!! 😊📚 And the haunted library series sounds so fun and cozy, too--I'm adding that to my reading list for fall!! 🍁 Thank you so much for the recommendations!!

[@yw1653]

Your choice of music is always so perfect! 😍 Do you have a playlist, you could share?

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww thank you so much!! I am working on a Spotify playlist now, I'll share it very soon!! 😊

[@nailahhuq1238]

Such coincidental timing for me to find your channel since I just got into the Anne of Green Gables series! I read the first book as a kid, but I'm getting much more out of it as an adult. If you're still reading the series I recommend Karen Savage's audiobooks, which are free on YT! Anne is a rambly character I prefer narrated, and the nature passages (which I'm sure you love based on your videos) flow nicely when read aloud. I enjoyed the first four books, but I just made it to the point when Anne isn't a main character anymore so I might stop there. Anyway, I'm happy I was recommended your channel now because we have such similar interests and aesthetics. Hope you continue to grow :)

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment--welcome, and I am so glad you're enjoying the videos!! 😊💕 Thank you so much for recommending the audiobooks--I just found them, and now I am so excited to listen to them throughout my day!! 📚 Thanks again for your comment, and I can't wait to keep sharing more with you!

[@nailahhuq1238]

@@MyMoonstoneKitchen You're welcome! I'm glad you found the suggestion helpful. I realized I read the Anne series slightly out of order since that narrator didn't record everything, but I now have one book left and will finish. I'm excited to see what new videos you come up with!

[@reganstandlick7520]

If you haven't read the Shady Hollow series, I am loving it.

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Adding the series to my list right now!! 😊 thank you so much for the recommendation!!

[@milliecrisp4630]

Omg such a relaxing video!! Also love the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo- read it in a couple of days because it was so good 🫶🏻

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Ahh same here, I read it in a couple of days, too--I couldn't put it down!! And I cried so much my face hurt 😂 but I still loved it so much. And thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! 💕

[@milliecrisp4630]

@@MyMoonstoneKitchen I feel that!! 😁

[@k.a.t.h.r.y.n]

Hi Haley! I was just curious, do you journal everyday? I would love to see a video regarding your journaling process!

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Hi Kathryn!! 😊 I don't journal every day (I wish I did though, and am really trying to get into the habit!) but I do journal several times a week, and I would absolutely love to share more about my journaling process! 😊💕 I just made a note of this for a future video--thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion! 🤗

[@rosalynroman3006]

Muchas felicidades!! Que bueno me alegro mucho por ti. El esfuerzo de cada semana valió la pena. Gracias por contarnos ese momento tan especial se nota lo agradecida y contenta que estás. Por cierto espero ver en un futuro tu propio libro de recetas. 😊

Books: Poppy war , Babel, the call of wild.

Dear Hayley, I am wishing and hoping you are well after the flooding in your area. ❤

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww thank you so much for checking in and all the well wishes ❤️ Fortunately we are completely okay and our house wasn’t damaged, but it was heartbreaking to hear about all of the people who were affected nearby. Thank you again for checking in, it means so much to me! 💕

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

@@MyMoonstoneKitchen Thank you, you are very sweet. I am glad everything is well with you! 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Congratulations! I enjoy your videos so much. I'm currently reading the same book in the Throne of Glass series. I'm really enjoying it. I've had the same experience with Anne of Green Gables, even though I've loved every television rendition of it. I'll try again before Summer ends.

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos!! 😊💕 I loved the book, too-and I just started the next one!! Throne of Glass is such a great series 😊 and let me know if you end up reading Anne of Green Gables, I hope we can both read it this summer! 📚

[@earthangel_144]

Your channel is absolutely wonderful! Congratulations on the monetization💚💚💚. I also love the Forest Feast books

Lovely cosy and winding-down video❤... In my many shows/events that I organized and performed in-I allways had a get-together at the end of the evening....including a buffett...matching the occasion. Since you mentioned your love for food-creation and presenting it via Foto and Video.....and learning ,that you love reading....a certain kind of stories..... I want to let you know,that there is a MR.DARCY -cookbook....and a MARY-POPPINS-Recepie-book. I am a sure -we all would love the combination of your very fine filming/...creating a very special ,artistic,atmosphere...your setting and lighting is very very good-like in a fairy-story-movie...and the food-recepies that you present us are delicious and very well explained.....AND they Look great... You allways manage to do something to it;so one feels relaxed...cosy ...and want to re-create it too

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Aww thank you so much, Ricarda--I am so happy you enjoyed the video!! ❤️ Oh my goodness, the Mr. Darcy and Mary Poppins cookbooks sound absolutely amazing, I will have to check them out! Thank you so much for letting me know about them 😊 And it means the world to me that you feel that way about my videos--I'm so glad that they have brought a bit of coziness and peace to your days! Thank you again for being here, friend ❤️ Have a wonderful week!

[@sheilookasjc]

I'm Brazilian, I suggest you put subtitles on your videos and it will have greater reach! There are videos on KZbin on how to do this! But I loved your channel and I'm already subscribed!

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Thank you so much, Sheila!! 💕 I checked and I believe I have automated subtitles turned on for my videos, but I'm sorry to hear they aren't working--thank you for letting me know! I will look into this and see if there's a way to get them working again! 💕🤗

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I also have not read Anne of Green Gables but I do have the book. Did you end up finishing it and was it good after the first few chapters?

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

Yes, I just recently finished Anne of Green Gables!! I really enjoyed it and can definitely understand why it's such a beloved book 📚 It's such a beautiful and heartwarming story. I did find it to be a bit slow at times, but it's overall a very charming and happy read! I would definitely recommend it.

[@TheMennomilist]

I love going out for sushi so much. We have been having a lot of weird weather lately!! Today at 7:30 AM we had a thunderstorm! It was cool. Did you see it?? I have heard so much about the series you mentioned. Maybe eventually I shall read it. Anne of Green Gables is one I have always loved a lot. I have read the whole series, but I will say, only about 3 or 4 of them I really like. Some of them have short stories about the people in the area where Anne lives and it wasn't as fascinating for me to read those. I can understand if it takes you some time to get through a few of them. There are supposedly 8 in the series, but I read a 9th one earlier in the year that Anne is in throughout but she is not the leading character. I don't know why I don't ever see that book mentioned in the series though. I really want to go cuddle up with a book now!!! Thank you. I know I recommended a book last time to you. . You seem to mainly like fiction, I gather? Have you ever read The Neverending Story? It is my favorite book! I really recommend giving it a go. It is a fantasy book. Have you read the Lunar Chronicles series? I am sure you have.

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

The weather has been SO strange--and at 4:30 am this morning, our phones went off with a tornado warning, which is so unusual for the area where we live! 😱 Did you get the high winds, too?! Luckily, it didn't touch down and everything was okay, but it was scary. And I'm so happy to hear that you love Anne of Green Gables--I've heard so many great things about it and now I'm really excited to get further into the book! I haven't read the Neverending Story or the Lunar Chronicles series, but I just added them both to my list! Thank you so much for those recommendations. I love fiction, and I'm so excited to read these! 📚

[@TheMennomilist]

@@MyMoonstoneKitchen Oh wow. No, we did not get any tornado warnings up here. We usually get flood warnings here. There is a way to turn off getting those alerts so they don't wake you up. We've had that happen before. I am glad that you are okay! It was a little windy the other morning but it eased up. I am glad you put the books on your list!!
