[@May_Oliver]

Please make "read with me" videos. These types of videos really help me to read and sometimes I feel like leaving your video running while I read, but I end up paying attention to the video instead of concentrating on the book

[@ektachauhan1836]

I am obsessed with this channel❤.

Your videos are so nice to watch. The POV, the cozy atmosphere, the calm and quiet. The music is really nice too, I watch them while my husband is doing other things and he likes it too and this way we can be together each one doing something we like :) I always want to read the majority of the books you read lol It must feel awesome to receive ARC of your favorite authors with a letter and a signed copy! Big congrats for that, you've earned it 👏

[@natashachesney178]

Such a relaxing channel! Love books and the music!

[@jessicajordan680]

Suuppeerrrrrr impressed with your harvest 😍 i grew potatoes for the first time this year as well with some success. if you can get them in Australia, try getting purple seed potatoes like Huckleberry gold. Beautiful and delicious! Little tip though: don't scrub the potatoes until you're ready to use them! 😊 it helps preserve them longer and stave off moldiness. ❤❤❤

[@jovanapetrovska9774]

Days at the morisaki bookshop duology is so short and amazing easy read 🤩💜

[@summerg.2934]

I loved Dead End Memories. I'd recommend Convenience Store Girl :)

[@cupsandthoughts]

[@nataliazielinski8491]

I just finished Immortal Dark and it was so good! I can’t believe I have to wait for the next books! You inspired me to pick up Jade City next!! ❤❤

[@vonnieriver]

I'm curious: what do you usually make notes about in your books? Thanks for the video ❤️

[@amyofhearthridge]

September has been super busy for my family and I, with school beginning again. Autumn is a gorgeous season here in Wisconsin, so can’t complain! 🍂🧡🖤🌻🐦‍⬛🕸️🕷️✨🍄🥰

[@cindyr4918]

Ahhh I can't believe I have to wait until January to read "Water Moon" - I can't wait to hear what you think of it. That book definitely sounds like it is right up my alley.

[@cupsandthoughts]

it truly sounds like a wonderful book 🥹🥹 i’m excited for its release in the new year! 🫶🏼

[@sandraabler9034]

Love your videos ❤they always make my day 😁

[@grff_]

Can you do a quick bookshelf tour in one if your videos? I'm really curious where you keep everything!

[@fifiwafa6696]

34:52 hey Cathy! yes of course still watching! you really expect us to watch the first two minutes and quit the video? lol! we live for these long vlogs of yours! well, thanks for asking about us too! I'm doing great this month, it's been hectic in August as I was in the process of publishing my novel and preparing the content of marketing my book. this September I'm trying to take it easy as we're going back to college next week. I'm a little bit nervous about sharing my novel with the world, especially because it's a Sci-Fi with thriller and psychological drama, which is not the dominant genre of Arabic novels. trying to do something new though hehe, hopefully it'll reach its right audience and find who'll love it as much as I do. I wish I could send you a copy, it'll be an honor! but it's in Arabic so I hope one day I'll get it translated and I can reach out for you to read it! so... yeah! this is my exciting plan for this month, publishing my novel very soon, along with starting my last year of medical school.

[@cupsandthoughts]

hahaha hello!!! thank you for watching till the end 🥹🤍 i really appreciate it 😭✨ wow that does sound like a hectic month, but so exciting! congrats on publishing your novel soon :) i hope you get all the marketing material sorted out! those sound like really great themes, wishing you all the success!! 🤍 and all the best with medical school :) i hope you take some rest too! i’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥰🥰

[@laralia1972]

As someone who knows Arabic I'm very very surprised! This sounds amazing!!! I'd love to know the name of the book, so I can read it. It really isn't something common in Arabic novel markets, but good luck!

[@oo0o227]

"If Cats Disappeared From the World" is also one of those short books which pack a punch!! It's also translated from Japanese !!

[@cupsandthoughts]

adding this to my list!! thank you 😍😍

[@tinybooknest]

Ouh my Cath! I'm still in the middle of Jade War and I'm already stress 😂😂😂. Just like you said this series is give lots of headache but totally unputdownable

[@amyofhearthridge]

Awww! The potatoes! 😁♥️

[@Kookie30304]

ever think about doing a flip through of your journals? id love to see them

[@andishobbies]

Have you read Before the Coffee Gets Cold? or the Kamigowa Food Detectives?? Both smaller novellas but so lovely and easy to get into!

[@dreamytulip]

Yayyyy I've been refreshing your page in the last few days waiting for a new video

[@cupsandthoughts]

[@lamagiedesmots_]

[@helloitsme5727]

Knoppers is sooooo good! 🤤

[@cupsandthoughts]

it’s becoming a new favorite!!! 🤤🤤

[@KristinHBergenstein]

For Japanese Literature, I would recommend 'What you are looking for is in the library' by Michiko Aoyama and 'We'll Prescribe You a Cat' by Syou Ishida. Two of my favorite recent reads.

[@aamnahere6250]

OMG! I loved 'What You Are Looking For Is In The Library' so much. It's one of my favourite books of this year. I adored the cosy and whimsical vibes.

[@BlissfulForever888]

I have never annotated a fiction book and I have no idea what that looks like. Do you have a video on how to annotate fiction, and for what purpose? Thank you! It all looks so fun!

[@Stellar_Voyager]

Your vlogs are perfect for fall...so cozy（〜^∇^)〜☕

[@cupsandthoughts]

ahh thank youuu 🥺🥺

[@ManEatingTeddyBear]

The Green Bone Saga is such a brutal trilogy, but it's very, very good. Can't wait to see your dedicated video of it! (Btw: J*p is a slur towards Japanese people. A better abbreviation would be Jp or Jpn. Just letting you know!)

[@cupsandthoughts]

i just finished Jade Legacy and it was insane 😭😭😭😭 it is very good though. i can’t wait to make the video! thank you so much for letting me know, i had no idea!! will definitely use ‘japanese literature’ in the future!

[@anitahohl]

I read Academy for Liars and I loved it!

[@cupsandthoughts]

i’m so excited to read it!! 🥰🥰

[@brienzellcalseven]

Thank you for blessing us with your amazing video!! Aaaaa I'm getting cozied up agaaaain. Btw, would you perhaps do a video soon about book recommendations or even rating some books? I'm curious about those kind of contents. Btw, love your video

[@cupsandthoughts]

awww it’s my pleasure!! oh yes definitely, i’d loveee to do those kinds of videos!! 🥰🥰

[@brienzellcalseven]

@@cupsandthoughts I will look forward to it

[@yangofthevalley]

When you were journaling in the dark with candles it looked like you were doing witchcraft 😆

[@BinxThinx]

Could I ask which software you use to edit your videos? They are so cosy and lovely 😊 I’m struggling to find a caption text that I’m happy with on iMovie and wondering if I’m just using it wrong or if I should use another application instead 😅

[@cupsandthoughts]

of course! i use wondershare filmora 🥰 they only have a one-off payment and it’s sooo much easier to edit on there! i’ve used imovie before and i struggled to even add captions on there 😅😅 totally recommend wondershare filmora :)

[@BinxThinx]

@@cupsandthoughts aww thank you so much for sharing! I’ll check it out 🥰

[@comfytinahart]

I want to order the fairy loot box with this book you shared in your video, but I have no idea which subscription box contains it! How do I find the info? That book was gorgeous!! Fantastic vlog!

[@cupsandthoughts]

some books might have been sold out unfortunately! not all fairyloot books are found in the boxes, aome are up for generale sale :) if you don’t see any you want up on there, definitely look through facebook buy/trade groups as they have sooo many going around! 🥰

[@fredouhp07]

Hi

[@cupsandthoughts]

[@sriis7525]

❤❤❤

[@paigesofmakeup8573]

I thoroughly enjoyed When the Moon Hatched but I can see why some people wouldn’t. It is a long read and could have been cut down in some places.

[@cupsandthoughts]

i’m really happy you enjoyed it though!! 🥰🥰

[@filee123]

🌼🧡

[@eprohoda]

Cups-useful recording. 😈

[@linhthuy6040]

Pls read "The Cat Who Saved Books" by Sosuke Natsukawa. It was short but so so good. It was my 6 stars read last year so highly recommend it :D

[@summernight5009]

I recommend you the book "Air Awakens" by Elise Kova... I think you'll like it 🌪️💘🔥 it's magical

[@omenayao5579]

Are you going to make a Halloween themed video? Thank you

[@cupsandthoughts]

probably not halloween themed, but something close to a fall video maybe! :)

[@cosmic_panda25]

You don’t have to peel baby potatoes 🥔. You just eat them as you are.
