BETH O'LEARY, RUNNING & BIG BOOKS BOOK CLUB // weekly vlog

[@flavourofyourlips]

I'm a silent viewer but yes yes yes reading & running videos would be the perfect combo, both are passions in my life!! 😍

[@aidaburgos9441]

i watched this video and the next day woke up wanting to go for a run. even though i do sport regulary, it had been a really long time since i ran outdoors and i LOVED it. I started with a 20min guided run (i reallly recomend the nike running up for getting into running) and was so motivated i ended up running for 40 minutes! i did my best mark ever! so excited for the motivating running content hahaha sending loveee

[@boglitt6918]

I love your vlogs, Ciara. You are so well-spoken when you talk about books. It’s a joy to watch. Good luck on your marathon plans! I am sure you will do amazing!

[@TheBookeeper]

I'm so glad you've decided to share your training for the half marathon! I also started running during quarantine and I've been toying with the idea of running a half marathon but just like you the furthest I've ever run so far is 10k so I'm so excited you're sharing your journey and I can't wait to see you cross that finish line in september! Hopefully it'll also push me to stay consistent with my running 🥰🥰🥰 also I'd love to know if you're following a specific plan or how do decide what type of runs you do and things like that

[@Steph_W]

Ciara, your videos give my week the oomph they need. AND you inspire me. I’m so glad your channel exists! 😀 And b/c if you I have discovered Beth O’Leary books.

[@YourTrueShelf]

Yes please to the running!! I've been running for 2 years now and am back to a 3x weekly schedule. I've never managed a 5k under 30 mins, so well done!! I loved the flat share, then the switch nearly as much. I've yet to read the other two. Did the first two on audio which really brought them to life as more than 1 narrator. Omg the cinammon and almond buns.... Yum!!

[@KenHidaka84]

This was so inspiring. I have a 5k run at the end of May and am so out of shape, so this was exactly what I needed. Please keep on posting these kinds of videos. I love them all.

[@MaryAmongStories]

when you said on the podcast you were running the half marathon, I literally started clapping 😆 that's amazing!! so excited for the book club 💚

[@emilysikorski6329]

So excited to hear your thoughts on this book as I just finished reading it last night! I absolutely loved it and the plot twist totally threw me in the best way possible. Describing it as an earthquake on the page is a spot-on description! Also best of luck on the half marathon. I ran one in Memphis a couple years ago and enjoyed the training cycle so much. What an accomplishment to have crossed off your list!!

[@KeiraAndGeo]

I love the book club idea

[@fahdahsulaiman]

I am so excited for you to read The Count of Monte Cristo! I read it early this year and it is now genuinely my favorite book EVER. It's so clever and intense! The thousand pages just fly by---you don't even notice it. I think I remember you saying that it was Jay's favorite book too, right? Anyhow, thank you for the videos, they provide a lot of joy and coziness!

[@bethanywhite7904]

I am so excited for your first half! Just be sure you train and fuel right and you will rock it!

[@LexieMoon321]

I just watched Mary’s video! I’m so excited for the buddy read! ❤️

[@andreeastiopu1831]

I am excited to read that books as well! Xo

[@MartinDSmith]

Just as you were about to go out on a 10k run a tray of doughnuts arrived.If I was in your place that definitely would have been a case of The No Show.😂

[@JohannaParisi]

Oh The Count of Monte Cristo has been on my TBR for so many years ! I am actually from Marseille so I've seen the Chateau d'If (the island where the story starts) all my life. Nonetheless, I never found the courage to start it, this couldn't be more perfect

[@gabriellebelcourt5487]

The Count of Monte Cristo, yes!!!! I have been wanting to read this book for literally 15 years. I JUST bought an Everyman’s edition and it arrived two days ago. This is perfect timing! So excited for this!!

[@Steph_W]

No worries about the Count Of Monte Christo. Because it is one of the easiest fastest paced fun books I ever read. The size of it is deceiving.

[@01donnah]

Well done to you for the race and best wishes! Do not bet on listening to audiobooks whilst running though.... you will not be doing that during the race! Well.... you can for the long slow sessions, but do not make it a habit .... from someone who loves both reading and running 😄

[@lailakhoshkar126]

Love the running content :)

[@lailakhoshkar126]

And excited for the book club!

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

My library has a 13 week hold time for Beth O'Leary's book🤦🏽‍♀️ Also good luck on your training journey🎉

[@MinxLaura123sWackyWorld]

heyyy fellow book worm :) LOVED this vlog ! :) hugs happy reading ! X ps loveeeee your intro adorable!!! : )

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

All I can say is that I love the count of monty cristo and looking forward to reading this amazing book 📖

[@theokiereader]

I’m interested in the reading/training videos!!! Audiobooks while exercise (particularly running) is how I get through so many books. Which half marathon are you going? The furthest that I have done is 10k, and that was the Las Vegas Rock N Roll.

[@amandab7125]

I read it in April and I was so disappointed. I felt similarly to you for that first 70%, and while I loved the last 30% after the reveal it didn’t make up for the first 70% for me and it makes me so sad. If I’m being honest, if I hadn’t read the rest of her books and LOVED them I would have DNF’d this. I wish she should have done the reveal more at 30% point instead. I hope people read her other books first, because this could put off people to her other amazing works!

[@AnAntUnderTheRoof]

💙 just when I started watching you again haha

[@grodriguez7225]

Yay 🍩s‼️ 🍕 & 🍟‼️ I 💛 how your 🛋 matches your 📖 ‼️ The No Show sounds fun‼️ 🍿 & 🍫‼️It’s pretty ☁️ here in San Antonio, which means rain is a definitely around the corner‼️ ☕️ & 🍰‼️I remember dnfing The Count of Monte Cristo, because it was way too long‼️ Ps: The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina it starts out as pretty funny, but later turns more and more morbid even during the happy scenes, which don’t last for too long‼️ As for I Love You So Mochi; Kimi loves fashion but her mom sees it as frivolous, and she wants her daughter to become a serious painter, but Kimi doesn’t know what she wants?‼️ I almost done with A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea & Tomorrow‼️

[@jamesduggan7200]

congrats Ciara, they sound scrumptious

[@jamesduggan7200]

I just checked the page count for Comte de Monte-cristo; it's about 1200, maybe a little less. So, I think I would like to join you on this one, if possible. Thx
