a very PRODUCTIVE weekend READING VLOG - romance, non-fiction and historical fiction

[@Lu.G.]

Yay for having a productive reading weekend! 📚 Oh my goodness, your cold brew concoction looked delish! ☕

[@bethanysbookshelf]

Yes girl, your thoughts on reading Historical Fiction! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@veronicamaria2730]

"I Must Betray You" sounds intriguing. Human history, what a saga we've woven. So grateful God can untangle all the yarn we've knotted! It's going to be toasty, stay cool! 🌻❤️😎

[@susanfryman5156]

It was really good. Intense and sad.

[@laurenteague3705]

A Golden Girls reference…girl, we are kindred spirits. 😆❤️

[@Angela-it2tb]

So glad Suffering is Never for Nothing gave you some much needed comfort❤ So nice that you could share talking about it with the hubs!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thank you! Yes🩷

[@Veronica.Roni.V]

Oh good Amanda so glad your tummy is doing better...yes. Log food and how it reacts for a month you may find the worst or what food triggers the gut...it can help. ❤

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thank you!

[@ABookLikeYou]

Thanks for shouting out Revive! I’m excited to read more about Elisabeth Elliot, and I still need to read Suffering is Never for Nothing, too!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

💛💛💛💛

[@SunshineFC15]

Amanda reading all the books! We love to see it.

[@jennifermcclurkan9274]

The Love Audit sounds good. I'd have to get the paperback though.

[@serenalawson3123]

Oh the Love Audit! So good!

[@susanfryman5156]

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you.

[@jennifermcclurkan9274]

Thankyou! Have a good week! I'm reading Lauraine Snelling's The Healing Quilt and A Heart Like His: Intimate reflections on the life of David by Beth Moore

[@Faithfamilyandfunreviews]

Hi Amanda! Great vlog!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thank you!

[@ABookLikeYou]

I really need to read that Savannah Scott series!

[@jennifermcclurkan9274]

I got some International Delight Iced Coffee Mocha flavor and drunk some this morning over ice.

[@Priscilla_Bettis]

Suffereing Is Never for Nothing sounds SO good, and I Must Betray You sounds interesting. I know next to nothing about the horrors in historic Romania.

[@eMsBooksAreEverywhere]

What a great reading weekend! I didn’t get much in physical books, just few pages of Mistborn but I hope to finish that today or tomorrow. I did listen to Death in the Clouds by Agatha Christie and A Most Agreeable Murder as I was traveling. I haven’t decided what to pick up next. I really need to go through my TBR so I know what’s on it! 😅

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Ooo we love a good Agatha!

[@eMsBooksAreEverywhere]

@@BookLoverAmanda yes, we do! Agatha Christie is my favorite author of all time. I always have one on the go!

[@annriddle6921]

Still working on Julie Klassen’s, The Maid of Fairbourne Hall and hoping to make some more progress in Lynn Austin’s, A Light to My Path.

[@thewritingsongbird5108]

The Elizabeth Elliott book sounds really good! Loved your thoughts on it

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog. I loved the Golden Girls from my childhood and adulthood as well. 📚🥤

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

In the car where all the updates happen. Love your blouse 🥰🥰🥰💜💜

[@bayliesbookshelf]

So glad you enjoyed TLA!!! It’s such a good book! Also you have me wanting to read Suffering Isn’t For Nothing! Sounds so timely and touching 🩵

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Yesss!

[@bethanysbookshelf]

His glory and our good!! 🤍🙌🏼

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Amen!

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

I gotta read I must betray you 🔥i love that it’s important to read historical fiction. Loved your thoughts on this 👏🏾

[@Amy_loopsandliterature]

I saved The Love Audit on Everand to read in July. It sounds like something I'd really enjoy! I need to pick up I Must Betray You. I purchased it when it released, but I have yet to read it. And I love Historical Fiction and Ruta Sepetys is one of my favorites! I never knew Chobani made creamer, but after your last vlog, I looked for it at my grocery store and found it in a White Chocolate Raspberry flavor and oh my!!!! Delish!!! So glad you shared it!! 😄

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Oh yay!! I hope you enjoy The Love Audit. Yes, I must betray you was so impactful. Finished it a couple of days ago. OOO white choc rasp!! NEED TO TRY!! :)

[@ABookLikeYou]

I love that coffee asmr, girl! 😂☕️

[@BookLoverAmanda]

🤣

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

Elisabeth Elliott's story is so inspiring! Have you heard of the Torchlighters video series? They have one of those on Jim Elliott, and it's really good.

[@susanfryman5156]

Love the Torchlighters.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Oh I haven’t! I need to watch.

[@susanfryman5156]

I really need to get back to reading Nancy Mehl. I remember when she first started writing. 18:44

[@BetsyAndTheBooks]

Yes sister you talking in the beginning of this video about falling into comparison with your child! I feel that so much and it’s so much worse when you have family that does that also! I fall into that so much with my lil man as I’ve said before he isn’t autistic but he is considered an iep at school for being behind in speech and he gets extra help with reading and math because he is also behind in that. It’s so hard not to compare to other children and think am I as a mom failing my child am I not doing enough. Then you have family in my case it’s my husband’s family who has so many opinions that make feel even worse and like your not doing enough it’s so hard. Not every child is the same and they don’t all learn the same and some are just slower getting things and that’s ok! I’m glad my mom has been there reassuring me of this and lifting me up when I needed it. Loved this reading vlog!! Also at some point in Catch A Wave Kaline tells you how to pronounce her name like Kay-line I believe she spells it out in the book. I went through that book not knowing how to say her name till I got to the part where it is spelled on the way you are supposed to say it. Love you sister!! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family!🩷🩷🩷

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Love you sister!! Thank you for sharing your story too. Amen the Lord has his hand over our lives with our kids💙

[@thechristianbookshelf]

I’ve heard so many good things about Annah Conwell but I have yet to check out her books. Maybe I’ll start with The Love Audit 😊

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

11:08 The comparison trap is a lie from the devil. Thanks for sharing where you are in your walk and how you are allowing the Lord to encourage your heart through this book! 💜I’ll be adding it to my tbr.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Amen sis

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

[@BookLoverAmanda]

[@Giana_m_lovesJesus]

I’ve read I must betray you by Ruta Sepetys and I really enjoyed it! I’m so glad you’re also enjoying this book Amanda!! Ruta Sepetys has an amazing talent for writing great historical fiction! God bless you! 💕🫶

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Yes! She writes so good

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

Love the music 🔥🔥a BOP 🔥🔥🔥

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

One of these days I will actually pick up a Ruta Sepetys book. They all sound so good yet heartbreaking.

[@talesandtreatswithtay]

I love how that Elisabeth Elliot book ministered to you both ❤

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thank you!

[@jennifermcclurkan9274]

As soon as I start buying books a lot again then I may get the Elisabeth Elliot book. I have depression and anxiety alot.

[@susanfryman5156]

Sorry to hear this.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Prayers for you sister

[@talesandtreatswithtay]

I love that pink shirt, it reminds me of a sprinkle cupcake lol 😍

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thanks girl :)

[@ThisLittleLightLife]

Amanda, a book that might bless you is A Lifetime of Wisdom by Joni Eareckson Tada. I definitely recommend listening to the audio book. Joni's narration is like sitting down with a friend. 💗

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thank you!

[@talesandtreatswithtay]

Ooo The Love Audit has a good audiobook!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

So good!

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

[@jennifermcclurkan9274]

Little Man!

[@jennifermcclurkan9274]

Amanda, can you get The Fast Lane in paperback?

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Yeah it’s on Amazon!

[@librariesandlabradors]

Chobani sweet cream is *actually the best there ever was*

[@librariesandlabradors]

Also, pro tip: buy at Target not Albertsons or Safeway! $2 cheaper!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Thanks girl! I wish we had a target close by! The closest is 45 minutes away🤣🤣

[@susanfryman5156]

I’ve experienced several times, that God never wastes pain. 14:11

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Amen

[@insearchofwonder]

I really want to read I Must Betray You but it's backlogged at my library. 😢

[@BookLoverAmanda]

I am back at reading it today! I think you will enjoy it.

[@kellyadams79]

The rom coms sound cute but what is with all these covers with faceless covers it's creepy to me. I like the covers that have at least a sliver of eye and mouth. Probably it's just me😊.Here in Florida feels like temp. Is 99 has been in the 100.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Haha I feel you-it’s a new trend looks like 🤭

[@KristinaLuvsBooks]

I’ve heard that Elisabeth Elliot is very controversial especially purity culture.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

Ooo not heard that but looking forward to her biography!

[@susanfryman5156]

What is purity culture? I admire her very much.

[@KristinaLuvsBooks]

@@susanfryman5156 Purity Culture is a movement within some Christian communities that emphasizes sexual abstinence outside of marriage, along with applying strict views on modest dress, and stringent dating rules.

[@susanfryman5156]

I googled this. I’m definitely in favor of the purity culture. Any Christian should be. Not to be sitting in judgement because we are all sinners.

[@susanfryman5156]

@@KristinaLuvsBooks thank you.

Do you have a discord link?
