It’s interesting to note you are seeing signs of Spring while here in Canada we are putting the gardens to bed for the winter. In some strange way it brings us closer together.

[@very.casual.librarian]

It’s strange - so many of the people I follow online are preparing for Autumn! Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s Spring! 😆🤪 It’s so confusing!

[@xMsMomJeansx]

Ang, watching you communicate with the birds was so wholesome! 🧡 So interesting watching you getting excited over seeing buds growing and here in Canada we’re getting excited watching the trees slowly change colour 🍁 🍂

[@very.casual.librarian]

Those birds visit me everyday! They bring their families each year! They’re so cute - we’ve become firm friends, they sit under my verandah when it’s raining, and they always know I leave water out for them when it’s hot. ❤️

[@MILKandHONEY13]

What a treasure you got on Facebook! It looks great in your place! The birds are so cheerful and happy! I adore your videos, so good to ❤ see your happy face!

[@very.casual.librarian]

Naaaawww - thanks lovely ☺️💕

[@gmy_2006]

6:40 I'm so glad that I have my headphones in, otherwise my dogs would have been so confused. 😂For context, they are snuggled up on my bed and I'm watching this at 10pm. Also, can I just say how comforting it is to find another Aussie bookworm content creator. 💚💛

[@very.casual.librarian]

😂😂😂 I’m just picturing your poor dogs looking around in confusion at all the whistling! 🤦‍♀️ AUSSIE BOOKWORMS UNITE!!! 🦘❤️🎉😆

[@JaniceAnsel7730]

So fun to watch your videos and the excitement you share. Thanks for making me smile, Ang !

[@very.casual.librarian]

This comment made me smile! ☺️💕 Thank you, Lovely xxx

[@evamarie1537]

That bird! Also, that table turned out really beautiful! 😊

I am checking out a new local bookstore tomorrow with a friend! I cannot wait!

Aren’t book store adventures the best?!?! 🤩

[@paulmagrs-g8n]

That bookshop looked so nice! And your desk is fantastic. Hello from the Uk!

[@very.casual.librarian]

👋🏼 HELLLOOOOO 🐨🦘🇦🇺 ☺️ Thank you so much! And thanks so much for taking the time to comment! ❤️

[@shirleyjones954]

Well done you! That’s a lovely desk and looks just right there.

[@very.casual.librarian]

How’s my luck?!?! It was ‘meant to be’ ❤️

[@Readatrix]

I loved the nature stuff. And I've been wanting to read Butter for forever.

[@very.casual.librarian]

Oh thanks Mate 💕 It’s looking more and more like Spring here each day! 🌸

[@Readatrix]

@@very.casual.librarian Meanwhile, I'm happily surrendering to autumn vibes. I live in a place where I will spend at least a few months mostly below zero.

[@very.casual.librarian]

@Readatrix 🥶 Brrr! Isn’t Autumn the best?!?

[@Readatrix]

@@very.casual.librarian Yep! Favorite season!

[@Lisa-sr1bn]

I’ve just discovered this bookstore is 5 mins from my house! I didn’t know it had a cafe in there! Going to take a visit on the weekend. Also, I LOVE your videos. They’re so calming and your passion for your job is inspiring ❤

[@very.casual.librarian]

It’s such a great place to go hang out and read! It’s got a really nice vibe, and you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into it ❤️📚 You are too sweet - thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment xxx

[@JudyGraves-ws7yl]

That desk is awesome! I got a FREE copy of Butter from one of my local bookstores. They get piles of ARCs and give them away for free a few times a year. I grabbed Butter just because it was bright yellow! I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

[@very.casual.librarian]

FREE BOOKS?!?! 🤩 That’s a sweet sweet deal ya got there! ☺️💕 It’s such a great cover design, isn’t it?!

[@bettyfenwick6337]

You have such fun adventures! Good deal for your desk.

[@very.casual.librarian]

Wasn’t it?!?! I was so happy they randomly picked me! 🥳

@bettyfenwick6337 It’s so cosy and vintage academia ❤️ I adore it!

[@musicalemily5464]

You are so very delightful. I think I smiled throughout your whole video. You are wonderfully positive and deliciously happy. This was my first time watching any of your videos. You popped up on my feed, and the title caught my eye. I am so delighted. And, I understand about getting lost in a mall. I live in Oahu, and, there is a very large mall called the Ala Moana Center. It is an outdoors shopping mall that is so large that the first time I went there, walking, mind you, that I got so turned around I thought I would never find the way out. I thought that I would have to live there, as, they have exits from the three levels all going to different streets of the city. But, I was not too worried, as, they have a giant bookstore, which, after wondering in circles, I finally found, and figured if I could not find my way out, I would just live in the bookstore. 😂 Anyway, I loved your pep, your excitement, your joy, and you will be watched from now on. I am looking forward to your next video.

[@very.casual.librarian]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Omigosh you live in a stunning part of the world too! 🌺 I am not good with directions! 😅 And I think I’m getting worse with age! 😂😂😂 Thank goodness for Google maps! And it does make me laugh 🤭 I hope it makes everyone else laugh too! Thank you so much for being here - I’m so glad you found me! x🩷x

[@musicalemily5464]

@@very.casual.librarian Hahaha! Age definitely has made my brain into mush. Not only can I not figure out where I am half the time, even with Google Maps, but, I start talking about something and then forget why I was talking about it in the first place! It is amazing I can live through each day. I told my son if I am not home when he gets home from school, then, he should send out the troops, as, most likely I got lost trying to go to the library! And, yes, it is Paradise here, as I am sure Melbourne is for you. I am very lucky to get to experience a place like this. I am embracing each day I am here. Well, it has been a true pleasure talking with you. I did not think I would get a reply. Haha. You are most kind. I thank you for your response. And now, I will let you go, as, I have gone on and on. I am usually silent and rarely comment to anyone. I am not very good with writing comments, if you could not tell. I never know when to stop writing! 🤣😂 I am wishing you and your family a beautiful night. Again, you are a delight.

[@allisonryder4781]

What a great day off you had! I’ve seen Butter before but don’t know anything about it. I await your report back on that one! I have a border collie as well and I love their attention to cues from their person! My Koda responds well to whistles and body language etc. Recently, we took in my FIL’s older Golden and I’ve noticed he just lumbers around doing whatever he wants and certainly is l not the greatest on the commands 😂😂😂 We are working on that😅❤🇨🇦

[@very.casual.librarian]

BCs are so switched-on aren’t they?!?! And they’re ready to respond at a moment’s notice! Bluebell can be really sensitive too, though. She hates thunderstorms and she startles really easily. She’s always watching us for cues!

[@jacquiheywood3142]

I loved that desk and the space is going to look lovely. Maybe you should give the bookshop some feedback about the playlist? Give them some suggestions. I hear what you say. The wrong music can put you off so much. I need my music to be very background music. And in tune with the place. I used to go to a tiny cocktail bar that played top 40 hits. So bad!

[@very.casual.librarian]

Right?!?? And they encourage you to stay and read, but I had to put my ear phones in! 😅 I kept getting distracted!

[@wendyluvsbooks1580]

I love the desk it’s so beautiful and looks so cozy with all you put on it 🧡🍂….. I have been to that Robinson’s bookshop it’s such a lovely shop but I agree with you about the music it’s should be soft relaxing music ……..I am reading Murder in the Scottish highlands by Dee McDonald 💕📖

[@very.casual.librarian]

It’s such a lovely bookshop! They really have decorated it so thoughtfully and the cafe is gorgeous! But yes; the music choice was odd. Other than that I loved spending time in there! (When I eventually found it! 😆🤦‍♀️)

[@wendyluvsbooks1580]

I finished my murder mystery now am going to sit and read Between the vines by Tricia stringer , I really enjoy her books …..📚📖💕

[@steepsister5002]

Can you do a bird whistle tutorial omg i was shocked 😮

[@very.casual.librarian]

Those birds are my little friends! They come everyday ❤️ We have a little whistle at each other and I always leave water out for them. If I’m inside, they’ll come right up to my windows and look in to see if I’m home 😆❤️ They’re so cute.

[@allisonryder4781]

Had to pause the video to comment! What?? You scored that desk for free? 🙌🙌

Absolutely! I have a You Tube short that I made about what I pack in my back pack, but I def should make a more detailed vlog about that! That’s a great idea! 👍🏼 GOOD LUCK!!! I HOPE YOU GET THE JOB!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
