a cozy weekend vlog ☁️☕ book shopping & new faves

[@Anettesque]

Was impressed by just how much energy the iron has given you - until I realised I’m watching at 1.25 speed 😂 Glad you are feeling better tho! 🤍

[@incaseofasteroid13]

the difference between previous christy to this christy is INSANE! oh my god you're glowing, I don't think I have ever seen you so happy, so full of energy! I'm so happy for you and I hope the effects of the iron infusion last for so long, so good to see you feeling good

[@janetrichards5353]

Isn't it amazing the difference in what you can accomplish when you aren't exhausted? So happy to see you doing things you've been wanting to pick back up! 🎨🧶📘

[@gladouhills9039]

This vlog was so relaxing to watch, gave me positive vibes 😊

[@ReadingNymph]

I loved Our Wives Under the Sea, such a strange lovely little book. Im glad you enjoyed it so much

[@MsGloomyLamp]

I'd be really excited to watch more of you painting with some voice over. So calming and beautiful!

[@DurgaMol]

Our wives under the sea was my best read of 2023 😍

[@gaston5825]

Beautiful smoking cat! Adopting it was the best decision ever made

[@vulee100]

Finally more bookshopping and reading videos!

[@tonydeluna8095]

Another cozy Sunday with Christy Anne Jones ❤! Love the sound of your soft voice when I wake up. Whether it’s books read or writhing, you inspire a lot of people. I remember when I first watched your video, you read The Lord of Rings, and I was like, man she’s one hell of a reader!

[@nadiahverse]

Looks like this is my sign to finally pick up Our Wives Under the Sea!

[@nhertanto]

same!!

[@epu8021]

me too haha!

[@_soggy]

seeing you happy and full of energy made my day! all of us are so relieved that christy is finally doing better

[@jesstheninth]

Omg fave booktube/authortuber with one of my fave books? Yes please.

[@emiilyrose]

i'm so happy you also loved our wives under the sea!!

[@beyondtheradio]

Getting a car with a backup camera after college was crazy for me too! Don't feel bad about buying one! You need it.

[@oliviaspages]

I want to read Our Wives Under The Sea so bad! Happy to hear you're enjoying it!

[@manjimaroy1164]

Watched a vlog of yours after long, ever so calming. Also just started reading Days at the Morisaki bookshop like 30 mins back and loving it!

[@mollycampbell8631]

Congratulations on the new car! I, too, drive a car without a back-up camera, lol. You know, I was on the fence about whether to read Orbital this month, but your video convinced me to get it from the library. I'll start reading it later today! Can't wait to hear your full review. I also added Our Wives Under the sea to my TBR list. Your description of the relationship is really intriguing. Anyway, congrats again on the car, I hope it's a nice, fun, reliable vehicle!

[@invictusyou9166]

It was Christastic Christy Orbital was hands down phenomenal Love your work Keep it up

[@donna25871]

I know what you mean about cars. I’ve upgraded from a 2003 Corolla to a RAV4 Cruiser. It doesn’t arrive for another three months. I’m still using the original CD sound system but now I just use my phone. I waited so long that I saved the money for it. And I know the day my old car goes I’m going to cry because I’ve had her for 21 years. I just bought James to read but I might re-read Huck Finn (or Tom Sawyer) first.

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

I really enjoy watching you paint please 🙏 keep it going as you are good at it my friend ❤❤❤

[@sabahshaikh9540]

Ohh I just sat down with tea. PERFECT timing as always! Love you Christy.

[@TheCoookieCrumb]

Congrats on the car!! You'll have to take us to the beach for a day in your life seaside edition. 😉 I'm happy to hear you enjoyed Orbital. There's a 15 wk wait time to borrow it at my library, so I won't be able to read it for book club. But I'm really curious about it now.

[@shaazde]

I always enjoy your videos specially when you have a lot of energy❤

[@anniepantheraleo]

I absolutely loved both of the books you read in this vlog! I bought Julia Armfield's new book Private Rites a few weeks ago and I'm looking forward to reading that too. So glad the iron infusion has made you feel better!

[@paxchristie]

Beautiful vlog!!! Just magical💕

[@joanahenriques8863]

This video healed my soul ❤

[@romanecayez8651]

I just thought of an author recommendation in case you don't know her: Sarah Waters! She writes gorgeous historical novels and her prose and characterization are incomparable. I would recommend Affinity, which is a gothic novel set in London in the 1870's, mainly in a women's prison, and Tipping The Velvet, a queer coming of age story set in England in the 1890's and partly centered around the theatre world.

[@TheEccentricRaven]

I love your cozy vlogs ❤

[@abigailhoneycombe]

YES A VLOG!! These are my favourites and I'm sick right now so this is the best thing that could happen today

[@Divya210-v5b]

I love your videos so much! Can u make one explaining the process of self-publishing? It would be so helpful for me!!!

[@moniquebaham]

You made Orbital sound so amazing that I immediately went to the Libby app and borrowed the audiobook. Thanks for the recommendation and for a great video.

[@AnnapurnaMoffatt]

Yep, I had pause the video and add Orbital to my Libby TBR. I opted for the ebook.

[@moniquebaham]

@ I did the same thing!

[@17caria]

Everything's better with a cat in a video! 🙂

[@MioCoxon]

love your vlogs so much! I also recently read Orbital and am discussing it tonight with my book club, absolutely loved it and agree with your review, also felt teary about the list of achievements of humanity section!

[@pallavikrishnan8660]

Just what I need when I'm burdened by tmrw's exam... It's been awhile Christy❤

[@juliandherbooks1]

never have been so early! :D thank you so much for posting 3 weeks in a row!

[@jess_writes_a_book]

The perfect cozy vlog!

[@saram5659]

Cute hat! 4:30 ❤

[@Queenebunoluwa15]

Finally a vlog! Yay🥳.

[@Alicedesuu]

how strange that I just set down Orbital, still musing on it's beautiful imagery, and decided to watch your vlog! hope you enjoy it ^_^ x

[@cecile.cabot02]

Hello ! I recently discovered your channel and I've been bingewatching your content for the past two weeks! I love the atmosphere of your videos so much. Also, I'm watching you from France, and I wanted to recommend a book that has been written by a French author and traduced in English recently. I think you'll really like as it is a fantasy book inspired by the esthetic of the studio Ghibli. It's called "A winter's promise", and it's the beginning of a four books series. Thank you for this video and sorry if my English is not great, I'm still learning it and your videos help me practise it ☀

[@reganstandlick7520]

Love Kiki, I want to read The Days at the Bookshop too, June is on my list too

[@jettash0720]

That was one adorable kitten oh my gosh (his name reminds me of a Haikyu character, especially since that character's team has a cat theme to them lol) I hope to get a cat someday myself

[@faye_faye]

Oh my gosh you’re bouncing with energy!

[@KMort]

Girl, how is the publishing process going? I get you don't want to update randomly when there's nothing to say, but as a writer in editing, the process interests me so much, to know what to prepare for😂🤎

[@readrosebooktube1467]

loved this vlog! I did love the metaphor in Our Wives Under the Sea and the way it deals with its main theme, however I was just bored the whole time… I know the pacing serves the message but… it was LONG for a 300-page book haha

[@GavinReadsItAll]

It is so easy for me to spiral into an existential crisis and it sounds like Orbital would do that to me but I have bought the book anyway haha you have made me really want to read it

[@luise_marianne]

What a lovely vlog! Also how did you like the Manner Wafferl? I am from Austria and truly love them :D All the best!

[@lindseyberrum]

I never understood triple jump either!!

[@litol.spring]

How do you guys find these kinds of books? I scroll through reddit and good reads but its just same old thing. Whenever I bookshop without researching first, a lot of times I just cant get through it

[@aamnahere6250]

Book shopping without researching is indeed risky. I think reading a few chapters can help figure out if the author's style of writing is compatible to what you're interested in.

[@cozyaboutbooks]

I'm wondering if there is a possibility that you make one day movie about you fav/guilty pleasure movies and tvseries ;)

[@strawberryzen9448]

I am waiting for your fave books of 2024. Will you post one?

[@alisonj.4741]

I have mixed feelings about Orbital. I listened to it and found it really hard to follow. It was so repetitive (I guess the title hints at this!). Perhaps a hard copy will be better for me, too.

[@livros_damarcia]

[@MojiiOkay]

I'll be the resident Car Guy™ (See: Horse Girl, replace horse with car) Toyota is always the way to go for reliability without sacrificing coolness. As long as you don't get a 2025 model. 👍

[@ksu_starling]

Funny, how Booker prize took a novei, in which Russian cries that the collapse of the USSR was catastrophe. We in Ukraine feel every day this tragedy of poor-poor Russian imperialists, that lost their colonies
