🕯🍄 my OCTOBER TBR ☕️🍁 using my TBR cards & picking cozy books for the cozy cottage readathon!

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

I see an MC Beaton book on your cart. That’s exciting!

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

Quiche of Death was one of my favorite books last year.

[@wanderingwithstacy]

I'm planning on reading the Bunnicula books this month! I read them many times as a kid. It was my favorite series.😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Haha, that's awesome!

[@blessthismessylife6438]

You are going to love The Wall! It's definitely not cozy but a definite page turner! I can't wait to see what you think!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Hearing other people enjoyed a book always makes me more excited to read them!

[@katsbooks2631]

I forgot I have a copy of Bunnicula on my shelf until I watched this! I just read it and loved it and plan to continue the series.

[@ChristianFaithAndFiction]

How is it October already?! I actually quite like Cottagecore style things. Definitely this time of year makes me think cosy 😃

[@AshleasBookshelf]

Just Ella was one of my favorite books as a teen. I have a couple of cozy mysteries and The Blue Castle on my tbr. I also hope to squeeze in a Jaime Jo Wright as I am a year behind on her books.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Yay for The Blue Castle! I need to start Just Ella really soon, I'm excited to read it!

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I’m mostly going to be using your challenge for the activities. I’m looking forward to that coziness!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Yay for all the cozy!

[@AngelaWerner-c6l]

Hey new to your channel. I have decided to do my 1st year of DIY Degree. I love the idea of that . I have chosen Victorian Era for my Era and Morality for my Specialty. Love your videos...keep up the good ideas!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I hope you enjoy your year!

[@annlovestoread]

I am currently reading Jonathan strange and Mr Norell. I am loving it. Its such a great book to read in October.

[@sandra3616]

Looks like a great mix! Enjoy! I'm sort of seeing how it goes. I have two non-fictions I'm continuing, and I'm picking up Middlemarch again. It's kind of like your situation with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. I was reading it (a few months ago) and enjoying it, but it got set aside for some reason. So I read a very quick summary of the chapters I already read and I think I'm going to continue. Good to know that it can still count for the reading side of your readathon. It's an English novel. There has to be tea!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Haha, have you ever heard the joke that Middlemarch was named that because by the MIDDLE of the book you want to MARCH away from it? That one was such a struggle for me to get through but I hope you enjoy it more than I did!

[@sandra3616]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay I have not heard that joke. But I hope I enjoy it more than you did, too!😆

[@carlyhunt5339]

I’m going to try to read Monster in October too 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Yay!

[@blessthismessylife6438]

Me too! Looking forward to it!

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚📚❤️ I'm going to read Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly for the challenge. It's been on my bookshelves quite awhile!

[@Mkayreadsandvlogs]

Happy Monday 😊

[@ACanuckinAlabama]

Cozy with a bit of creepy 😂 love it! I’m reading The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, Lenny among Ghosts (YA), Buried Magic and West with Giraffes (for a bookclub).

[@mollyjaybooks]

I'm looking forward to your readathon, it's my first time on your channel and doing your readathon so I'm excited! Not sure how many of mine are actually cosy books, but I'm planning to do them as activities too if that's ok? 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

For sure!

[@ChanyeolsHaneul]

I'm so exited about the cozy October challenge 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Me too! 😊

[@kimbitner]

I picked up a couple Jaime Jo Wright books from the library, so that’s my October.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

October is a great time for her books!

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

Bunnicula is hilarious! If you have a chance to listen to the audiobook, it’s so great! Narrated by Victor Garber.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Hey sorry I'm late! Recovering from the hurricane that came through GA after FL and our internet is spotty. ❤ Norrell raised the girl from the dead in the first 100pgs😅. (Since you read that on the back.... and Norrell is now the only practicing magician after proving himself to the men who only wanted to study the magic)

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Glad to hear you're okay! Ha, okay so I don't remember anything of what I've read in Norrell. 😊

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay ha ha! 🤣 still waiting on electric...day 6 now. But at least we have our house. So many don't and it's so sad.

[@sarahstangledtales]

Chantel talking about a cozy readathon: “Well there’s daggers.” 😂😂 Now you sound like me: “Of course it’s cozy, there’s only some murder and sword fights and blood here and there, it’s fiiinnne.” 😆 I’m really interested to hear what you think about Married By Treachery because ever since you read the first line of it I’ve been curious to know if it’s any good-it just sounds so interesting!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Wait, daggers aren't considered cozy by all?! 😂 Hehe, glad you think they are!

[@sarahstangledtales]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay of course! It’s the people who don’t think daggers are cozy who are crazy. 😜😂

[@lesleycollins2535]

Hi I am reading The September House and Lucy Undying anyway please keep safe and well 😍

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

"I only have 700-ish pages left" 😂 I do hope you enjoy the rest of Jonathan Strange though! Ch. 6 of Secret, Book & Scone Society is generally considered the chapter to skip because it's sexual in nature. There's nothing seen on page, but enough is heard and speculated about by other characters to be awkward. Although it really only takes up about 3 or 4 pages of the chapter (I can give you specific start and stop points if you want).

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Jonathan Strange is a chunker! I'm just glad I don't have 1,000 pages left! Thanks for the heads up on the Secret, Book & Scone Society!

[@jaimeg.3012]

I will be finishing up Relative Justice by Robert Whitlow in Oct. For your Read Your Bookshelf challenge I will be reading Vietnam (I forget the author) and everything else will be mood reading.

[@caseyr4188]

How is relative justice?

[@jaimeg.3012]

@@caseyr4188 if you enjoy a legal procedural novel you will enjoy it. I am loving it and the faith is fantastic. It is also heavy on family dynamics and caring for a sick loved one. I am a little over halfway way and can see it being a 5 star 🌟

[@caseyr4188]

@@jaimeg.3012 thanks! Adding it to my TBR

[@shannoncelestine9867]

I will finish reading The Hobbit then will start LOTR, Percy Jackson’s Heroes of Olympus Series, and Messenger by Lois Lowry. I am looking forward to eventually reading The Witcher Series.

[@ACanuckinAlabama]

@ChantelReadsAllDay I have a question about your cozy cottage challenge…the submission form makes you list a book for each physical prompt. So, for example, I’m ready a Wilke Collins book while I’m drinking tea, sitting by a fire etc. all on separate days. Is this okay? I’m going to be reading Wilke for at least another week! 😊

[@victoria9663]

Hearing you talk about unread books made me wonder - how many physical unread books do you currently own? If you don't mind me asking? I've been keeping up with your unhauls here and on Patreon and you're making awesome progress.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

The bookshelf behind me and my TBR cart, plus some other classics, about 170 books according to my Goodreads shelves I have for those.

[@victoria9663]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay that is manageable!! You can do it 💪

[@jaroslavaart]

Don't you leave a space for Tolkien on your reading cart? I can see you put books on the bottom of cart. 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I did but then I moved the cart by my bed and now he refuses to sleep in it. Now he prefers the bookshelf so I'm trying to get books off of there because he keeps knocking them down. 🤣

[@jaroslavaart]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay 🤭😅

[@BethStel]

I read House of Silk a year or so ago. Very well-written book! But it should have a content warning about child sexual abuse, imo. It's not graphic at all, in fact, I believe you don't even meet any of the victims on the page, but it is there.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks for the heads up!
