why doesn’t anyone mention the aesthetic of your home? it’s BEAUTIFUL LIKE pinterest “home goals” … very simplistic but also earthy and elegant !!! GREAT QUALITY videos for a great woman

[@NickellesNook]

Oh gosh what a compliment!!! 🙈🙈 Thank you! xxx

[@judegrindvoll8467]

I know, every time I was a video I find myself wanting to ask decor and wardrobe questions rather than focusing on the books 🤣 and not much distracts me from books!

[@Booklover90]

I'm a 2-3 week slow reader here. 😂 don't apologize for liking what you like even it it changes. ❤

[@NickellesNook]

You’re so right!! 😊 And nothing wrong with reading a book every few weeks. 💗

[@sarahogborn8024]

When you first said “this is the read shelf” I thought you were saying “red shelf” and was like “my girl is color blind” 😂😂 Anyways you look lovely in this video and love the tour 💕💕

[@chelsey8737]

Same 😂

[@onourpath]

Lol, same! 😂

[@aly_voight]

You talk so well without rambling. I could never. You talking seems so flawless

[@NickellesNook]

Haha I do have to edit out a lot of rambling, don’t you worry! 😂

[@aly_voight]

@@NickellesNook I just made my first video and even with the editing it’s like watching someone’s slow death😅

[@sarahfrith1984]

Regarding the Brown sisters, book 3/eve brown is my absolute favourite of the 3! I read on kindle unlimited so had all 3 for free!

[@ThatIrishSarah]

I love seeing other people with little book nooks all around their house. Thanks for sharing.

[@YourGayFriend]

I read a book a month, sometimes two, because I only read at night before sleeping. I don't have time unfortunately during the day.

[@luise_marianne]

"I am reading one book but then I am buying ten more" - that is absolutely me! I always go to the bookstore being like today was a tough day I should treat myself with a good new book hahaha

[@NickellesNook]

Hahaha that is totally me!!! It’s such a treat isn’t it

[@covergirlbooks]

I adore your style and the stacks of books you choose for each video always look so happy and colorful! The shelves are no exception 🎉

[@NickellesNook]

Wow, thank you so much!! 💖

[@klaudiuszjankordylewski]

i love your channel , videos and you sooooo much! the vibes are so calming and relaxing! love you, keep going!🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you 🤎💖

[@paulinaesco]

you also have the best outfits!

[@readingisallwedoallday]

love your relaxing voice and vibe💕

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you!! 🤍

[@parnikajain3151]

I’m excited to see your collection! In the last 6-8 months I’ve gotten my collection to a great place! It’s at 147 books. Now I won’t need to declutter until another 5 years at least😂

[@NickellesNook]

Now that’s impressive!! Almost like a mini library! 🙈 I think I have around the 70 mark now, I had around 30 last year, so it’s grown significantly! Haha yeah exactly 😂

[@mothmallow]

Loved getting to see more of your home and your shelves! I know it's been said before, but the green wall color is so gorgeous and I love how the book spines pop against it!

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you so much!! 🥰🏠

[@tanyam6197]

Love your outfit 😊

[@judegrindvoll8467]

A Little Life is A LOT but it’s also profoundly beautiful and the friendships in the book were just joyous for me. I would say just go for it - give it 50-100 pages and if it’s too much at least you tried 😊 theres no shame in putting books aside that don’t work for you.

[@SurakaJaneBooks]

Loving the decor btw!!!!

[@7919Stone]

Love your video’s ❤️

[@valely]

Your aesthetic is soo cute! I love your channel❤❤❤

[@lorr123x]

Your home, your books and you are stunning 😊

[@QuintrellDemary]

Really nice 😊❤❤

[@RovingReader]

I am here for this!!! The Color Purple film is so so good!

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you so much! I’ve watched the original and loved it, I’m hoping the remake is just as good 💖

[@YourTrueShelf]

Lovely collection 💕 I think your tbr is well under control!! As soon as you start booktube it always skyrockets but yours seems pretty in well in hand 😊

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you!!! Yeah I’m starting to notice it’s slowly growing as I’ve joined BookTube. I’m trying to rein it in though 🙈

[@ioanasingh9349]

Ooohh Piglet sounds so good! I love some messy drama 😂

[@NickellesNook]

I know!!!! Super messy, I’m here for it! 😂🥴🫠

[@MichelleReadsandVlogs]

Such a great book collection... you have SO many books that I think you should definitely read (Open Water, and Sorrow and Bliss are both great!). I also love Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is brilliant; I'm pretty sure, at the time of reading it, it changed my life ❤ Hope you're well Nickelle

[@MichelleReadsandVlogs]

I've just got to the end of the video. I still haven't picked up Let Us Descend 😱😱😱... I'm shocked. I really want to love it 🤞🏻

[@NickellesNook]

Thanks Michelle! There’s so many that I can’t wait to get to. 💖 Ohhhh I adored that book, so moving, but equally funny! I’m not surprised it changed your life, it’s such a special book. Doing well thanks 💖💖💖 Hope you’re okay!

[@NickellesNook]

@@MichelleReadsandVlogs😂 I’m struggling with it and not wanting to pick it up. Don’t let me put you off though, I may give it another go. ☺️

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I need to read Queenie 😩

[@Blacklore_uk]

I love The Secret Lives of church ladies! That was my fave read last year; people person were so underwhelming like I could not. I am excited to read Nightcrawling!

[@NickellesNook]

Ahhh I did think to myself if you’ve read it or not?! Such a fantastic back isn’t it! I really think you’ll like nightcrawling, it wasn’t my fave, but I could appreciate it and the author is super young too! She’s incredibly talented!! Yeah People Person was so disappointing. 🫠

[@leoniereads1234]

I’ve seen Piglet all over bookstagram your reactions are definitely me hahaha

[@NickellesNook]

😂 it’s not just me then

[@onourpath]

The film of The Color Purple is amazing, but of course, the book is better. You should enjoy both! A Little Life was my favorite book the year it came out. It can be overwhelming, but just take breaks if you want. I couldn't put it down and raced through it! It is utterly devastating, but so beautiful. You can always dnf if necessary.

[@NickellesNook]

I forgot to mention that I’ve watched the original and I really liked it, I meant to say the remake. 🙈 But yeah, I plan to watch that soon. Oh wow! I’m glad you enjoyed it, it’s had so many mixed reviews, so I’m unsure. I think I may enjoy, but I’m just wondering if it’s a little too heavy. But yeah you’re right, I can always DNF it. 😊

[@natatatt]

My TBR shelf is a similar size. I should be reading through it, but I can't seem to stop ordering new books every few months, so it never seems to get smaller. : D

[@NickellesNook]

It’s an addiction for sure 😂🙈 I really need to stop!

[@EveningReader]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Doesn't Piglet sound so good?! I'm doing Read What You Own right now, but that will be a top pick for me when I buy some new books. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. About Writers and Lovers: the first time I read it I only gave it three stars, but I decided to re-read it about a year later and it was absolutely a five star read. So maybe if you come back to it?

[@NickellesNook]

🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 Oh gosh it sounds like it’s going to be full of drama! I can’t wait! Ooh that’s a good idea, I need to do that as well! That’s very interesting re writers and lovers! Something in me wants to give it another chance so I may pick it up again ☺️ Thanks for letting me know, I hope you’re well! 💗

[@mollypopplewell1655]

Yeah I need to go on a book ban too, I got loads last year for my birthday and Christmas so I don't need anymore! But... I need more books!!! 😂 And that's not including the books I already have!! 😂 I haven't seen The Colour Purple or read it, but I want to do both! I think I may have to watch it first as I will take longer to read the book. 😊

[@booksgurrsandpurrs]

I just finished 🌈🥛 & loved it.

[@NickellesNook]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@booksgurrsandpurrs]

@@NickellesNook Once Owen was involved in an accident, after a beautiful bonding night with Jesse, I had to take a break before reading the rest. I felt like the author turned my emotions upside down. Such an incredible writer.

[@NickellesNook]

@@booksgurrsandpurrsomg that part… broke me! 😭 However, when it skipped a few years into the future and we discovered they were finally together I screamed!!!!!!! 🥰🥰

[@booksgurrsandpurrs]

@@NickellesNook Truly! The relief I felt that next chapter was immense. The author knows how to play with my emotions. On top of that, I read The Scent Of Burnt Flowers right after & had my heart played with once again.

[@wondawomenluvsupaman]

My best friend got me Such a Fun Age for my birthday.

[@philippawood5047]

Really cool to see your taste change and develop. As much as I am not a CoHo fan, I respect that she gets so many people into reading. So funny how we have so many shared loves, still I really did not enjoy Eleanor Oliphant - it seems to be a very marmite book. That said, it has sold over 4 million copies and I don't think the author ever wrote anything else, otherwise I would give them another chance.

[@NickellesNook]

Haha yeah 😂 I know, I thought I would give her a go, indeed her books are very fast-paced, but I don’t think I’d read another one of her books again if I’m honest. Oh really?! Yeah, I get that it’s not for everyone ☺️

[@lumilumi22]

I enjoyed a little life ! Don’t be afraid. Just know it’s a lot

[@NickellesNook]

Haha yeah I saw the triggers and I was like 👀👀😂🥴 I’ve read heavy books in the past, but even for me it seems a bit much 😂

[@gemmabuckley]

Let Us Descend really missed for me, despite the fact that on paper I should have loved it. I am yet to find a Jesmyn Ward fiction I love, but I just finished her memoir The Men We Reaped, which I really loved.

[@NickellesNook]

This is how I feel! On paper I feel like we’re a great fit, but I’m just not wanting to pick it up at all unfortunately. Oooh I’ll have a lookout out for that memoir, I never realised she had one. 💖

[@EvieM1]

📚📚📚

[@user-uo5ye5dy5i]

also we need links to the book shelves sister 🫶🏾

[@NickellesNook]

Haha I’ll see if I can find the links and I’ll pop them in the description 💗

[@TheNywms]

Still Me is the final book in the trilogy. It goes Me Before You, After You & then Still Me. Its a great trilogy and they really should've made films of all books not just the first one. Have you seen the bbc adaptation of The Girl Before? I'd recommend it although i haven't read the book. Also hope you're doing well health-wise I've hit a plateau with my long covid.

[@NickellesNook]

Oh wooops 😂😂 I guess I don’t need to read the first two then. Thanks for letting me know. Yes I have seen it a few years back, I really enjoyed it and thought the actress was stunning! 💗 I do think the book was better though. Sorry to read that you’ve plateaued, I certainly know what that feels like as I often feel like that happens to me. I hope you do get a little progress soon. I’ve been doing okay ish lately (touch wood) I’m certainly able to do a little more without crashing, but I still have to be careful. Thanks for asking, I really appreciate it 💗💗💗 xxx

I read the Color Purple recently and saw the film soon after, for me I loved the book and found the film fell a little flat but was still an enjoyable watch

[@NickellesNook]

Ooooh was this the original film or the remake? I meant to say in the video I’ve watched the original and I really liked it! ❤

[@alison_5050]

@@NickellesNook the one that came out recently, I hadn't actually realised there was an original film- maybe I need to see that! I think the new one is based on the stage version, so more license taken with the story!

[@judegrindvoll8467]

@@alison_5050Definitely give it a whirl - Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey (who is AMAZING) and Whoopi Goldberg as Celie - there’s a lot of powerful performances in the original 😊

I am slow reader maybe that's because I am a mom ❤

our cardigan is gorgeous, where is it from?

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you so much! It’s from Monki, but got it from ASOS! I tried to find the link, but they don’t stock it anymore 😭

A book a week is quick by my standards! Not seen the video yet but I'm assuming the Ant Middleton ones are yours

[@NickellesNook]

Yeah it’s good target I try and stick to when I can. ☺️ Haha no they’re my husband’s as he’s into all of that SAS stuff

[@TheBeatlesToday]

Remember that most of the Booktubers who read multiple books per week do KZbin as a full-time job!

Very true! ☺️

Not the point of the video, but I love you wall paint colour! Do you maybe remember the name?

[@NickellesNook]

Thank you so much!! Yes, not sure if you’re from the UK, but the paint is from Valspar and the shade is ‘Tuscan Hills’ ☺️

Who wrote malbrough station book

[@NickellesNook]

It was Alex Schulman ☺️

Havent heard anyone else talk about Sal either but i found it after seeing the author speak at an event. I remember enjoying it but not much more that would be of any help sorry

Wow thank you 💖💖
