reading vlog 📖 book shopping & magical dark academia ~

[@mirandamarquette1438]

Just...a masterpiece. Christy, I swear to whoever that you deserve every god damn piece of success and happiness you have. Your vlogs are the biggest, most lovely-magical-cozy-cute-interesting-fun videos out there. Thank you for another gem!

[@zinia6485]

Your videos just calm my soul.. Specially the editing and music..Love from India 💖

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so incredibly much 💛

Priory; Trade paperback Jonathan Strange; Paperback Trades are what you get initially when a big publication is released. Paperbacks are published (usually) a few months after Trades :) Loving the video Christy

[@Sthemingway]

Frolicking in the rain is one of those meme-able "Expectations vs Reality" moments. Just like taking a cold shower. When one is sweaty from exertion or high temps, the idea of a cold shower is so pleasing. But, inevitably, that "cold" becomes "lukewarm." Please take us with you when Dillon's bookstore opens in its newer location so we can see its "intended" splendor. ^J^

[@mehdia5176]

I recently just started Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Really enjoying it so far. I’m on chapter 3, looks like you’re a bit ahead of me in the video. Happy reading.

[@christy-anne-jones]

It's brilliant! I loved it 😊😊 Hope you enjoy the rest of it! ~

[@julesm9081]

@@christy-anne-jones may I ask does the book have any violence? I want to try reading this its sounds so different to what I usually read but the magic part sounds interesting, however are there violent parts? Im not sure I would want to read it if there are and they're too detailed :(

Netflix made a short series of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel. You may enjoy it!

[@hollylackner3481]

Seeing an upload from Christy really made my day! 💕 and now I also want to go book shopping for some magical reads 😂✨

[@christy-anne-jones]

Awwwh yay 💛💛

[@emeraldware5343]

Me too! I sat down expecting to watch one of her old videos and was thrilled to see a new one🤗

[@ricktimus73]

I remember it took my the longest time to finally read this book because it's size was so physically daunting. When I properly got into the story I ended up flying through it and now it's become one of my all-time favorites, as well. I've been meaning to re-read it for the last year or so, but I am once again daunted 😆. I'd recommend reading the Ladies of Grace Adieu, too, her collection of short stories, which include one or two set in the same world. She's such a brilliant writer.

[@ghostlymyfriend]

This is my absolute favourite book. Her short story collection is also amazing and is set in the same world as JS&MN.

[@PiinkyPeyed]

the asmr of your baking is one of my favorite things ♥

[@thecmhart881]

I loves go to the book store cuz it was my fav place to go and i`m excited to buy books!

[@Pianofurte]

Aw so lovely to hear about Adelaide, I used to love hanging out in Norwood 🥰😍 I've been meaning to get to Piransei and Jonathan Strange.. so many books to read! I loved your vlog!

[@ginafercho4581]

I read this book earlier this year and fell in love. I was sad when it ended. I could have stayed in this world forever. So happy you enjoyed it :)

[@mechellelynn4384]

I love your videos!❤️🤗 I enjoy watching your videos and I derive inspiration from them! You inspire me to read more and work on writing! Thank you! 🙏❤️

[@maybekatie]

i love how you turned instant ramen into such a fun & fancy meal 💃

[@joannab.8066]

4:37 I was just about to say how big it was! Here in Melbourne bookshops are quite small and cramped (at least the ones I've been to). Tbh I thought it would be the other way round 😅

[@MatthewTaylor86]

Absolutely loved Piranesi, so I'm excited to give Johnny S a go!

[@effiecris7668]

I love Piranesi so much! It was like a vivid dream I can still see, hear and smell everything when I think of it!

[@shonnarobertson6462]

Recently discovered your channel and working through some of your back catalogue. I’ve had Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell sitting on my shelves for so long, but might try to actually read it this year! As a former Adelaide girl, I loved seeing your trip to Norwood, and must get to Dillons bookshop next time I’m over visiting my mum. Love the vlogs, they are so relaxing.

[@ScullyPop]

Officially one of my favorite booktubers.

[@happyinfloral]

I loved watching you organize your bookshelves! 🤗 Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is one of the books I'm intending to read soon so it was nice to hear your positive review 💕

[@hydnk]

I love your content..Usually I skip videos longer than 10 minutes, and yet I am never bored with yours, I enjoy every minute 🥰🥰

[@not.applicable.]

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell has been on my book list for a while.. ever since I saw the TV adaptation on Netflix years ago. It's a really great show and I highly recommend it if you're ever searching for something new to watch.

[@mauamauification]

this vlog is so dreamy and calming

[@patriciaspindle7960]

Hello, Christy! I just started this book thanks to your recommendation and I'm loving it ❤ Really, just having a lot of fun reading it and laughing at Mr Norrell's antics 😂 The one thing that I could possible complain about is the weight. Chunky book indeed! My wirsts get so tired after a while 😅 Love your videos they are so nice and soothing, thanks for providing us with a warm and safe space to talk about what we love most: books. Much love from Mexico 😊

[@francesmartinez8940]

This reading vlog was so cozy and great, I love the energy of your videos ☁️🍃

[@YourTrueShelf]

I loved this vlog! Out of curiosity, what size is your tbr? I love that you often buy a book then start it straight away - I wish I did that more often, as the excitement about the book is highest at that point 😊

[@g.l.296]

Just love your videos. They really bring light in the day. Thank you

[@legendre007]

'Dark academia' is a genre? 😮 Oh, my. Something new to check out. 😊

[@christy-anne-jones]

It is! Or at least, it's an aesthetic within contemporary literature. Mostly books set in academic settings or themed around learning and academia, with dark undertones 😊

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

Back to back, top notch content. Your channel are my go to when I'm stressed or anxious which is a lot these days

[@love_anneliese]

I will save this to watch after my workday 🥰 I love a longgg Reading Vlog~ I will make myself a cup of hot chocolate to enjoy this video later~ love you so much, Christy!!!

[@Annabellekathleen]

Hi Christy! As a Perth girl who loves to read and write I am so inspired by your videos! I’m considering doing a masters in creative writing and was wondering where you did yours and if you enjoyed it? Thank you for your videos 💕

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

You and your you tube has gotten me back into reading again and I am so grateful for that!!! I love books, and life…gets in the way! But taking time to read a really great book, fills my heart with joy!!! I recently listened to The invisible life of Addie LARue…..loved it!!! I want to get started on The Priory of the ORange Tree…actually physically reading it!! But wanted to ask if you ever read The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawke? Also looking forward to the House in the Cerulean Sea!!!

[@hayleypatricia9940]

It's a wonderful book! 💛

[@christy-anne-jones]

Awwwh thank you so much 😭

[@katies8080]

1,000 page book, don't think I'll be adding that book to my reading list, but sounds interesting. How does a book like that get published. Haven't been to Dillons bookstore in ages. I've always wanted to go to Matilda's bookshop. I used to live in Norwood, it was the first flat I had lived in on my own.

[@tiffyj]

Potential SPOILERS for the ending of JS&Mr.N: I read "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell", because you mentioned it in other videos. And I loooved it so much. Thanks for this recommendation! Am I the only one who cried at the end? I know it isn't an ending that calls for tears necessarily, but idk... it was kinda bittersweet, at least imo.

[@GamersPie]

Fun video! Calming mood!

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you! 💛

[@danielnedin7064]

Hi Christie have you read the Ladies of Grace adieu, by Susanna Clarke. It's a Short story collection. I loved Piranesi and am about 300 pages through Jonathan Strange. and was told about this title the other day. Thank you for all the wonderful videos

[@donadianerubis2690]

Im just wondering of how many days did you consume for this chunky book? Hehehe. Nice seeing your video. Good vibes indeed.

I know I'm a little bit late but where can I find the cookie recipe????

[@ma_niz]

I read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell and I found it to be quite long-winded and obtuse. The pay-off at the end was minimal, though the writing itself was exquisite.

[@sarasalamat1893]

Thank you for making these videos❤️

I might be the last one in the world to ask this but... what is actually dark academia? haha sorry! I see it everywhere, youtube, instagram but have no idea what it means! Love your harry potter reading glasses! cute.

[@luanegarcia1805]

Hello. Dark academia is a aesthetic, focus on aspects of academic life.

[@sandunikadissanayake2615]

I'm really sorry that I'm putting this comment. But can you please think about the way you end the video. That last frame with jelly fish really bothers me. I know it's just my fault and I'm sure not everyone feels that way. But I think having it at the end destroy all the nice cozy feelings that I get from your video☹️ I feel jellyfish is not connected to the video content. 🙈 Just don't get me wrong way. I absolutely enjoy your videos. I love them very much and they have helped me to get through some serious life phrases. ❤️
