[@lizaking6615]

maybe its because im a girlfriend of a gamer, but hearing logan chatting in the background was very comforting :')

[@BookRoast]

Haha it’s what we’re used to 😅

[@EviLittlefoot]

LOVE the rant about pot sizes! So relatable. 😂 also I would totally buy that pin. It would go perfect on my pin tote. 😁

[@kiwisocke199]

G in the beginning: I am starting this vlog on a thursday and I am shattered. Me: And I am watching it on a thursday! 🤩 Voice from the Off: Its Monday, you are just shattered. Glad we could sort this out.

[@BookRoast]

😅😅 all days are the same 😭

[@AnonYmous-ns1qr]

I'd much rather be watching on a Thursday! Horrid Mondays! 🤣

[@angelaciani2110]

G: girlbossing and gaslighting... i love it!!!

[@thefaeriewilds]

That sounds like a very cozy soup :) And I hate needing different pots and pans sizes, I wish we could just have one adjustable one that does everything.

[@samanthafinn2422]

he's having his morning shout 🥺🐱

[@BookRoast]

It’s a thing 😭

[@WickedWestBooks]

"I'm weaving in the ends as I go, otherwise I'll hate myself. " Yes, I feel the same way. Weaving in the ends is the worst part of granny squares. It's so boring.

[@oddpapergalaxy]

You inspired me to start my own granny square x book cover project so I'm always excited to hear how yours is going! I'm coming from the opposite side of the yarn stash spectrum (I think I have two colors of yarn from a past project) so I'm having to buy all new yarn for the books I read.. an expensive up front cost, but I'm looking forward to the day that I have most of the colors I need already. My first yarn order arrives tomorrow! \o/

[@Wndrlnd9]

I, too, have been addicted to helldivers 2 😂

[@Emeryn2]

Im a sucker for pins and i love that pin!!! 🤩 This is my first readathon and im 11 books in

[@BookRoast]

Aaah so glad you love it! And also 11?? That’s amazing!

[@Emeryn2]

@BookRoast first year doing this so I guess I'm really excited 😁

[@_ashleylh]

10:57 I've never heard of this book before. I don't read a lot of non fiction, but this sounds very interesting. I am a new subscriber, so I don't know much about you as a person. If you don't mind sharing - where is your family from? I'm just curious what country the soup recipe came from 😅

[@TheKarinaChronicles]

I am a Gemini aswell, so this was really useful! Heartstopper would have been a great option, as I still wanted to read that one, but eventually I went with Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher. I needed to read this book for work and Lauren Asher is a Gemini herself, so I guess she would recommend her books to us right? 😂

[@martinaschlagl3882]

Oh the cover for The Crimson Moth is gorgeous! 😍

[@RyeMiArt]

that pin looks gorgeous! and yes, I was hoping you would not choose red AND blue for the square :D

[@Ponderingbooks]

I adore the pin!! I would wear that during all Orilium semesters, and it would probably help explain what I’m always talking about to people during April and August. 😅🥰

[@lilifane]

Pausing my reading to watch your vlog the moment it goes live. I enjoy your vlogs soooo much. Not only did you cook my favourite comfort soup in this one, you also mentioned bookbeat which I love. It's basically the only option for me to listen to a TON of english audiobooks without paying a fortune (I have the 100 hours/month plan and I use them up). I also had a lot of fun with The Crimson Moth (actually listened to it on bookbeat while reading along in the Fairyloot edition lol). So, a very relatable vlog. :D

[@BookRoast]

Aw thank you I honestly needed to hear that today 😭🥹 I’m quite new to BookBeat but enjoying it a lot so far!!!

[@dina019]

I have no idea what is in the air but I subscribed to bookbeat a couple weeks ago and the crimson moth was the first book I read on there reading the fairyloot copy along 😂

[@lilifane]

@@dina019 I guess it just makes sense :D

[@butzichen]

I always love a good update in the kitchen🥰

[@BookRoast]

🍳 🥘 🧑‍🍳

[@cIaimthestars]

I haven't finished the vlog yet so I don't know if you picked up Vera Wong, but trust me on this: the audiobook version is the way to go. I LOVED it and I was laughing out loud so many times, the narrator did an amazing job.

[@MoJordanReads]

I definitely second this!

[@MoJordanReads]

What a lovely FaceTime call 😆 Thanks, G! I think that pin is stunninggg. Loving this semester of Orillium! I think I may actually get every prompt for my two characters plus the Lore books I've added so far done in this month. We'll seeee!

[@leftoclock]

In last week's video I learned how to do contour makeup, in this one I learned how to cook soup, and that December 2023 is before 2024. I can't wait to see what we’re going to learn in the next one!! I’m living in Stardew Valley since mid March, how’s it going for u 😂?? Also, the pin 👁️👄👁️ so prettyyyyy!!!

[@InfinitexLibrary]

Omigosh the pin is adorable, I love it!! You're the first person I've seen read The Crimson Moth and I'm glad you didn't hate it as I was curious if it was bad or not!

[@AbiofPellinor]

The chaotic background is honestly a vibe 😂

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love the cover of crimson moth so much 🥹

[@AnonYmous-ns1qr]

As an Aquarius, you can have my science fiction zodiac genre recommendation. 🤣Just finished Scarlet in Lunar Chronicles for Astronomy class. 16:59

[@booksandanni]

I very much liked to cozy up and watch the vlog even though I should be reading my buddyread 😇

[@BookRoast]

We will call it a break 😌

[@amara560]

The pin is so fun! I have one mandatory class left, so I feel really good about the pace I've been keeping. Excited to snag some supplementary qualifications 🤩 I hope you get lots of time to read this next half of the month!

[@BookRoast]

Ooh well done that’s really good! 🥰

[@sarafitzwilliam305]

The trust Logan put in the angle 😅😅

[@vivianwakoff]

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall is so good! Just putting this out there...

[@nikkiheide5447]

That pin!!!!😍😍😍😍

[@nodoubtmisa]

another fellow stardew player yey :D the update was so good! ♥

[@msellenandrea]

love your rambles, always :D

[@BookRoast]

🥹💜

[@Books.tea.and.fantasy]

Vlog these chatty vlogs 🥰 The pin is gorgeous btw!!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you 😭💜

[@CheyeW13]

i don't remember how you feel about historicals, but a lady for a duke is a great trans romance! does got some spicy scenes tho lol

[@crawfishpi]

RE the meatballs, do you think the spice/herb could be anise? I find that its in a lot of pre-seasoned meatballs or sausage meat in the US and its so gross

[@Wndrlnd9]

Or fennel maybe?

[@thisisbecauseimreading]

I also just started up Fallout 4 again… not great for the reading life… but 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BookRoast]

But so fun!

[@thisisbecauseimreading]

Definitely 😂 just killed the mirelurk queen and took over the castle for the minutemen 🦀

[@arobinreads]

[@MarinaUz]

Stardew Valley is really being detrimental to my reading 😅

[@osunale]

The pin! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@the_reading_apprentice]

Oh, can we submit books for other classes, even if we don't need them for our calling?

[@BookRoast]

Yes absolutely!!

[@the_reading_apprentice]

@@BookRoast oh that's awesome, I was feeling so bad because I keep reading things that don't fit my calling prompts 😂 good to know I can still count them for something

[@samanthafinn2422]

pausing in the middle of the video to post this (or else I forgets) so maybe it's not relevant by the end BUT The Crimson Moth has 16 characters when you count spaces 🤓(which you should, coming from a programmer)

[@BookRoast]

But does it have 16 letters 😔✋ no it does not hahah

[@samanthafinn2422]

@@BookRoast 😱anti-space prejudice!

[@DarkAngelic17]

I need that pin so bad!

[@chelsey8737]

Bookbeat does not work for people in the US. You're one of quite a few UK based youtubers who keep pushing Bookbeat but no one is mentioning that it's not available to Americans which is good to mention

[@BookRoast]

I casually mentioned it once so far, I think “pushing it” is a bit of an exaggeration but I’m sorry it’s not available in the US, usually it’s the other way around so we know the feeling. I’ll add that to the description.

[@AnonYmous-ns1qr]

PIN!!!! Gorgeous, must have!!! 💸💸💸

[@nikkimannbooks]

I LOVE the pin! I NEED the pin! Please release the pin!🤩

[@bikerbabe2]

OMG love the pin....I definaltey need one of those please :) It's also my first readathon and so far I'm 7 books in...and nearly finished another 2...Look forward to some sprints fingers crossed x

[@BookRoast]

Oh well done!!
