A summer vacation! So we'll be doing Zoom chats every week? Every day? You know our imaginary BookTube friends want it!

[@bertieandpoppet-8837]

We do!

[@thebookishknitter]

Oh my gosh yes! I need to stay entertained lol

[@sharonlamasney1676]

Thank you Sarah. I’m m so glad you’re going to be focusing on catagory romance. I read mainly the Intrigue and LiS lines. Summer book club would be fun

[@LouisianaStitcher]

I've been with you since you started the Canadian Knitter back in the day. More than happy to support you in any way that you need. So glad that you are feeling more energetic.

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you so much!

[@user-km7fu7su1d]

Estherjane here. Look at that smile.😊. All your plans sound good and moving forward. But if you stray from category romance hope you find the books you love. And I thought I would feel the same of what to do when I retired. Girl, you find even more books to read! 😮. I look forward to even the ones in your journey at any stage. We all have loved the updates and I for one have learned a lot from them even at 74 almost 75. I have been a donor for everything they can use and if not use to medical science because it all needs it. Thanks for doing what you do.❤❤❤

[@user-km7fu7su1d]

Oh by the way. I will wave to you from Lake Ontario on the Northern NY side near Oswego👋🏻

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you!

[@theBeachbumbookworm]

Scott was an amazing man!! Sweet to daily reading vlogs! I love your summer reading plans! I don’t read category, but I always enjoy learning and hearing about the books! 💖💖📚☕️📚😊🌈🌈🌈

[@sandrazboinski6473]

So glad to see that smile. Keeping you in prayer.

[@denisadellinger4543]

I'm so glad about your health care plan. This socialized medicine can be tough but you have wonderful doctors. I pray you can be healed at Christmas.

[@StormReads]

You are sounding better about things. Hope having the time off gives you a chance to rest like you need too. A summer of category sounds fun, enjoy!

[@juliae.8237]

Yay for a nice long relaxing summer to just unwind and do what you love and take the long road home or a weekend away. You deserve a break. Say hi to your cats 🐱 🐱.

[@thebookishknitter]

Yes! Thank you!

[@ambiekraftsreads]

Hello Sarah! So happy to see you in a better state of mind. Still praying for you. I love the idea of Summer of Category. I would love some Retro recommendations for the readathon. I'd also like recommendations for authors that started out or used to write category like Debbie Macomber and so on and so forth. -Seasonal category books, which books are best for which season -Themes that you wouldn't think of. Like I know there's billionaires, and cowboys, and tropical and a myriad of others, but what are some maybe even within those books. Is there a book lover in a group of books or the same cover style or group of books where they throw a party or whatever else. -Summer books you wouldn't automatically know are summer -Book to movie adaptation -Books with disabilities but different ones than the norm -Historical books set in they 1900's -Interesting, funny, or punny book names -Recomend some of your favorite authors and where to start -Talk about the difference in the writing over the years -Cover differences over the years -Sort-run imprint or series -Any weird books -Books that will make you feel all the feels -Is there any fantasy category books Happy Reading and God Bless

[@pathady2436]

This video was so good. Enjoyed hearing all the plans you are working on and will be following along. I have a Kindle Fire which is getting older and I am thinking about saving for a new e-reader for Christmas. Could you add a video to your list on your experiences with e-readers and your delight with the Kobo?

[@thebookishknitter]

For sure! Excellent idea

[@Awall79]

I’m laid off until September but I’m going to join as soon as I’m back at work. Hey Sarah, you need what you need and if help is available there is no need to worry about taking it. I’m glad you are bringing back the membership because you really do give your viewers so much…when life gets stressful and sad for me your videos really do bring me happiness. I can’t thank you enough for that. Also…so excited for all the summer content. 🤗

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you! So sorry to hear about the layoff that sucks. But I hope you enjoy your summer.

[@RoxieAnn325]

Hi Sarah! Loved to see your smile! Really like the idea of Author Spotlights, reading sprints and your daily reading updates! 💕

[@thebookishknitter]

Yay, thank you!

[@BerginLisa]

So lovely to see you more upbeat today. My late sister donated all her organs apart from her corneas ( she had a thing about the window to her soul) and it’s lovely to think there are at least 4 people living because of her.

[@thebookishknitter]

That's wonderful

[@kathybrown524]

Hi Sarah I just signed up to support you again and I’m happy to do it! You are in my prayers every night and I hope what is to come turns out to be very successful. Even though you don’t know any of us, know that we have your back and will be with you every step of the way!❤

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you so much!

[@PurrPawsCrochet]

Hi Sarah! I love the daily vlogs and it is TBR time yay but I love anything you do. You seem more happier today. Well went to 3 thrift stores looking for older category romance books. Looks like 2014 are oldest books I can find. Saturday going to Friends of the Library sale mainly looking for Category romances books. Asked my girlfriends in case they to yard sales to look for me books too. Well happy reading and take care.

[@thebookishknitter]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kimlawrence1547]

Hi Sarah. So happy to see your smile today, and i am happy to help you through this time. I love category romance and would love to see some series information/spotlights or author spotlights. I have learned a lot from you and your previous videos and feel like a big sponge trying to learn more if I can, though heaven knows I dont need more books to read!

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you! I will add your suggestions to my list

[@heather2026]

I’m already a organ donor! My father is too!

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you!

[@VanessaButtino]

Like you, I’ve been working since I was 17 years old and (thankfully), I’ve never been without a job. However, I got really sick in May and have been on EI sickness benefits since then. At first I absolutely hated the fact that I couldn’t work and felt guilty for applying for EI, but then I realized that it’s been something I’ve been paying into since I was 17, so I’m entitled to receive the benefits now that I need them most. Looks like we’re going to be off work this summer together lol

[@thebookishknitter]

Exactly, I'm not going to feel guilty.

[@allisbookishadventures8260]

Can you and Garrett take a trip anywhere while you have the summer off? That might be kind of fun for you.

[@thebookishknitter]

Yes, we have some day trips planned

[@cajunpeachreads]

Author spotlights or series spotlights sound good as does vlogs, but, really whatever and whenever you want to film is fine. The important thing is to take care of yourself and get a much rest and as little stress as you can. 💜

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you

[@Barbara-nc9iq]

I hope with the rebirth. The labor was not bad. 😂

[@thebookishknitter]

Ha!

Great video Sarah. I'll be joining the channel again. Booktube has become a huge part of my social circle now that I have seven great ladies. Being physically disabled I can't work outside the home so love the interaction I get from my online friends and miss it when it's not there. I'm starting The Cowboys of Cold Creek series by Rae Ann Thayne today for June on the Range It's such a long series I can use it for many readathons where there's a Category Romance prompt except Retro. Could you do a compare and contrast video between Susan Wiggs Susan Mallory and Sheryl Woods? I love Susan Wiggs now because of how she goes back in time and her lower spice level. I 'm not sure if I'd like the other two though.

[@thebookishknitter]

Great video suggestion, I will add it to my list

[@heartsandwhodunits8813]

I'm glad you're in a better mood, just take care of you first!!! Blessings and Books!!!!

[@readersramble8385]

Off topic and I so apologize, how to I become a member and support you Sarah? XO long time quiet lurker xo And I know it says just confirming the give thanks you receive 100% of that? Xo

So glad you posted today. I see a bit of that sparkel in your eye today. I will be rejoining the channel the beginning of July. I am looking forward to supporting you on the journey. 😊

[@thebookishknitter]

Thank you!

[@amyrose0913]

I’ve looked everywhere…under this video, in your about info and I can’t find the membership link. 🧐

[@thebookishknitter]

On the main page for the channel you can find it. Thank you!

I don’t see the membership stuff in the description box. Is it the K-Fi?

It's on my main channel page

I'm enjoying the Colton By Marriage book. I'm half way through. Thank you for the recommendation.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Didn't know what to comment but wnted to show support 💖💖💖

[@thebookishknitter]

You're the best!

[@readsandeats2263]

So glad you are more positive and feeling better mood wise. Love the new plans for the channel but please don't put pressure on yourself to make videos etc. Look after yourself first. Am sure the vlogs of your hospital time will be great for anyone going through not only a transplant but time in hospital in general. I have still to start the Colton books as well. Will get them done, maybe not in time but they will be read.

[@lizlittle1641]

I am continuing to pray for you. Author spotlights sound great.
