[@adamdavis6810]

You and Emma do an amazing job with your vlogs. Both of you keep coming up with creative ways to show how much fun reading is, and I love how personable and insightful you two are. Thank you for encouraging us to read.

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Aw thank you for watching and being so kind! :)

[@Tania.atlasinajar]

🤭🥹 Had to come over here to give some loving to this video too! Happy you guys uploaded at the same time! 💜

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Aw thank you!! I’m so glad! 💕

[@Ozgipsy]

Big fan of you two kids. Serious readers, developed tastes, enjoyable content. Nice friendship to observe.

[@MartinDSmith]

They were wonderful excerpts you read out,both the serious and the playful! Sometimes a page,paragraph or even a line is worth the price of the book.Happy reading indeed!🥂✨

[@mattkean1128]

Willow is such a young lady 💕 Pessoa's Book of Disquiet is one of my favorite possessions, filled with such gems in a wonderful hardback edition The illustrator Raymond Briggs passed away recently. He created the wonderful story The Snowman which I think you would really appreciate.

[@nurulnatasyaajais2709]

Hey Carolyn. Natasya here. Been following you & Emmie. Really enjoyed these wonderful reading vlogs. Love Willow & Calcifer. ❤

[@EmersSarah]

Wouldn't it be great fun to do a video featuring both Calcifer and Willow?! Maybe a discussion on pet-themed book? We also have a Cocker-KCC mix. Same coloring as Willow, but looks more Cocker than KCC. Her name is Bella and she loves watching your videos with me!

[@ipshitajee]

Finally being able to Wuthering heights gave me the confidence that I can read classics and also read Anna Karenina finally, without being overwhelmed by the language!! I'm so happy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@karenyates6797]

Had to give you a shout out, as Emmie is my biggest book reading guru/goddess! Thanks for your recommendations 🙂 as well! Such a cool idea to pick up reading steam without hopefully running OUT of steam! XOXO

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Emma is the best!! 💕 Thank you for watching and leaving such a lovely comment! :)

[@monikamarsollek3493]

Hi, Carolyn, congratulations to you and Emmie! A new list of reading wishes for me… and as usual, I didn’t have a piece of paper nearby and used an old envelope… I really have a collection of those. 💌 I’m a night owl, too and now, after retiring, I’m worse as ever. 🦉Willow is so good for you, forces you to move in between… Greetings from Germany, Monika❣

[@cjprince1]

Ok....this is weird.. I had not heard of Flush by V. Woolf until I saw this video yesterday. Just now I am listening to Trust by Hernan Diaz and one of the characters is reading..Flush by V. Woolf. I actually gasped. I think it's a sign that I need to put it on my list of books to read..

[@martasgreatlibrary]

flush sounds soooo goood i'd had my eyes on it for a while i love virginia woolf

[@melufaryesmin9404]

My fave collabbb once againnnn 😭😭😭💙💙

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Aww 🥰🥰🥰

[@claudiaslit]

omg i'd love to see tattoo ideas for One Hundred Years of Solitude as soon as you read it! it's my favorite book of all time and i'd love to have it tattooed on my body

[@corajohnston22]

I have read most of John Steinbeck’s work and The moon is Down is one of his most underrated works in my opinion. So nice to see someone else enjoying and reading it!

[@CarolynMarieReads]

That’s amazing! Yes, I completely agree!

[@brittanyallemanayers3447]

I haven't read Flush, but another great book written from an animal's point of view is Black Beauty - highly recommend

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Owww yes! It’s been on my TBR for ages! Thank you for the lovely recommendation!!

[@mariapaulamejia6402]

Love love love your tattoo reels 💜 hope you keep doing them!

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I’m so glad!!! I love creating them, so I’m definitely going to continue!

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

Yeah, I also enjoy those a lot! I'm not sure if you've read The Brothers Karamazov but I'd love to see someone's tattoo ideas on that book

[@yidayin]

Hiiii Carolyn, it’s so funny that I randomly opened this video(while brushing my teeth), and you said you will read The moon is down, which is what I started to read this weekend. It must be fate 😂

[@syloum7723]

What a nice moment with you and Emma ! That was a really good idea to have you both on the 2 videos ! Thanks for sharing your love of reading and inspiring us ! 💚📚 Sylvette (from France : sorry if i have made mistakes in english ;)

[@lindakaneshiro7633]

Ahhh I was so excited for this vlog ❤️‍🔥

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I hope you enjoyed it!!

[@Lyleelou11]

I have spent most of today binge-watching your videos Carolyn and OH MY GOSH you’re so cute!! I adore Willow and decided to put “Anna Karenina” on my October TBR 😌❤️

[@sandyrivers3037]

I sure hope Anna Karenina is as good as you suggested!! I just ordered it and didn’t realize it’s 880 pages long! Should it be as good as you stated in your video, I’ll be glad it’s this long and won’t want it to end!! This will be my first classic! ❤️🤗

[@bookworm8624]

I loved this video! It brought me so much joy

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I’m so glad!!!

[@amodiekka]

What a wonderful video!!! I really want to read Flush now😅 And i can recommend you a book about dog by a Russian author that is a little bit sad, but gorgeous at the same time. I don’t really know if there is a translation of it, because it’s not a classic, but a modern book. It is called “White Bim black ear” by Troepolsky. And there is a good film about that book, that i suppose should have a subtitles at least)) I think it will be an interesting experience to watch it in Russian🙃

[@sofia7321]

Wow! I admire you for doing this! I hope I will be able to do this in the future😆 But I do need to sleep😴

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Sleep is a must 😂

[@emmiereads]

LOVE YOU

[@CarolynMarieReads]

no, I love YOU!

[@prachikoolwal]

Omg that tipsy Tolstoy tote bag 😭😭😭😍😍

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I knowwww 😍

[@verucasalt4535]

Listening to you again at work. I'm going to have to listen to these Roald Dahl books as well as Matilda. Willy Wonka (70s) is my favorite movie & Veruca Salt is a total mood 😆

[@CarolynMarieReads]

They’re wonderful! 📖✨

[@Faye_L]

I read The Moon Is Down recently and absolutely loved it!

[@CarolynMarieReads]

So glad you loved it too!

[@ester797]

Brb, adding Flush to my TBR. 💫

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Yesssss

[@jennifers4142]

These are so fun to watch! ☺️

[@CarolynMarieReads]

😄💕

[@carolinbookland]

Oh I’m so excited! 💖

[@amandalavelle2638]

I have Flush - it’s not as nice an edition as yours though. I might need to pick that up. Although it might rip me up a bit too much as my Labrador is getting very old now and starting to really struggle on his legs so I know realistically we’ve not got much time left with him. But his heart is still willing and he’s wagging his tail still so we’ll keep going until he lets me know he’s had enough. I’ve been a vet nurse for 19 years now and it never gets any easier seeing pets at the end of their lives! Sorry, that was quite depressing- just to lighten the mood I also have a cat called Pumpkin who will be 1 year in September and he’s full of mischievous energy at the start of his life, just like your Miss Willow xx

[@jamesduggan7200]

it's okay - it hurts a little to think back on them but in the end it's basically a nice feeling

[@jmsl910]

i'm also listening to Room w a View!

[@CarolynMarieReads]

😍😍😍

[@malissamoench8587]

I'm sure you get asked this all the time, but I need know what you do for your hair routine! Your hair us perfect! My hair is curly, too. Not nearly as much as yours, but I'm interested in what you use!

[@july3817]

I think the reason why reading for 24 hours is harder than staying up late is because reading is more exhausting for the brain then let’s say watching a movie. At least for me.

[@sarahsperusals]

next 24 hour readathon should be exclusively sad dog books

[@jamesduggan7200]

There are a few, yes.

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Yesss

[@carbonc6065]

Tired? There's no 'Tired' in Reading!!!🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Very true 🤣 there certainly was this evening!

[@WhiteRaven43]

I promise that Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo is a dog story that doesn't have a sad ending. It's quite wholesome

[@hannahmcquair8526]

flush sounds so cute! i’m excited to give it a read whilst cuddling my spaniel ❤️

[@CarolynMarieReads]

It is!!! That’s the best way to read it 🐾💕

[@lettersfromkinraddie]

Chekhov's gun, more like Chekhov's dog; every time you see an animal in a book they are more than likely going to pass away by the end of that book. (In relation to Flush)

[@annamarena1181]

oh, such a nice video. i like you and your channel! ⭐️🌃💌

[@lightscamerasashley.]

definitely want to read the moon is down now 💖

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I can’t recommend it enough!!!

[@Littlegizmoemmy]

If you liked that Virginia Woolf book you might like Call Of The Wild By Jack London :) The Sea Wolf is very good too but its about a ship and its captain rather than an animal :)

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I’ve been meaning to read both of those! Thank you for the recommendation :)

[@jamesduggan7200]

Yes, I've read those. Surprisingly, Call of the Wild has held up quite well, as it's been about 50 years!

It is!!!

it is not from the Backyardigans, it is from DORA!

E.M. Forester is perhaps the most disappointing classics author I’ve ever read. I had such high hopes but his writing just turns me off. 😭
