[@ciarascorner]

I can’t wait!

[@wandering0wonderland]

I'm planning to read Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dorian Gray, in Sept/Oct honestly can't wait as I've only read Dracula before 🦇🎃🖤🍁

[@rebeccasteinhardt6549]

I’m reading Picture of Dorian Gray as a September buddy read 😃

[@szosz12]

I’m planing spooky books for autumn too!:)

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh all such great picks - Frankenstein is my favourite of the three! Although Jay loved Dracula more!

[@YourTrueShelf]

Pizza and pineapple - yes!!! Remember kids parties with cheese and pineapple on cocktail sticks?! With olives too, mmmmm 😋 So well done re your running. Since I've been on holiday mine has really stalled. I never run well in summer as I don't like the heat either. Your travel looked lovely, as did the brownies!! X

[@nisei.reader]

Congrats on running 13.1!! Whenever I did the marathon, I wasn’t hungry the rest of the day but the following two days I was soooo hungry!

[@ciarascorner]

Hahha can now confirm I was ravenous the rest of the week!

[@antoniaaae3654]

Hey Ciara I’m on minute one right now but just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I again just noticed myself how excited I am seeing that you’ve uploaded again hihi It feels so relaxing and home to watch your vlogs and they honestly couldn’t be too long hahah Greetings from germany🥰

[@ciarascorner]

Aww thank you so much!!

[@chloerichy]

I'm going to start frankenstein in September 🤩 x

[@ciarascorner]

Hope you enjoy!!

[@wordsofclover]

I'm definitely a pineapple on pizza person - the burst of sweetness is always so nice. I normally pair it with red onion, peppers and sweetcorn - delicious! I also used to work at a pizza place during college so I've seen some pizza topping pairings haha. Omg your brownies look amazing!

[@ciarascorner]

That combo sounds SO good - sweetcorn and mushroom is my usual go to! I worked at dominos while I was at uni so have seen some things to haha

[@MartinDSmith]

I certainly enjoyed Frankenstein,the nature writing was quite beautiful.I also very much enjoyed the drama series Penny Dreadful in which the depiction of the monster was excellent.I agree with you about the pineapple.😁✨

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh I haven’t seen that series - may have to give it a watch!

[@tonimarie1022]

love love LOVE your vlogs

[@ciarascorner]

Thank you SO much!

[@Nadia.m.i]

Everytime you say Reputation in my mind is Taylor Swift haha. Also Pizza with pinnaple is my favourite pizza

[@alittlewriterem]

That coffee cup at 6.30 speaks to me ☕️

[@andreeastiopu1831]

A few weeks ago I have read Frankenstein for the first time and I am so glad that I did. I really enjoyed it! Your brownies look delicious! 🤗

[@ciarascorner]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@teatoastandbooks]

I am just so so happy that you're uploading again, I really missed your vlogs, so in the last weeks my life has become better again! :D and I'm glad to know that there are many more videos to look forward too!

[@ciarascorner]

Aww thank you so much! And bake away!!

[@PrideFiction]

I finished Infamous last week an I'm obsessed!! Exactly the type of historical fic I love, I'm so glad you enjoyed Lex's books Ciara!!

[@ciarascorner]

They were both so enjoyable!

[@noelkempster]

I loveeee pineapple on pizza! I especially love the combo of pineapple, salty meat/ meat substitute of some kind, jalapeños, and ranch - divine

[@ciarascorner]

Oooh lovely!

[@booksandbargains]

Ohhh I need to find a pizza punks now!! I am 100% on board with pineapple on pizza, I usually go pineapple, sweetcorn, mushroom and olive!

[@tracysmith9393]

Hey so happy you visited my neck of the woods. Well I'm in Fife but sunny Scotlands my home. And pineapple pizzas are my favourite I love sweet and savoury.

[@ciarascorner]

Aww one of my close friends is in fife so I may be up there at some point! And yes to sweet and savoury - so good!

[@princessissii]

I’m totally on board with pineapple on pizza. I love the combination of salty and sweet in food, especially regarding pizza!

[@ciarascorner]

Yes - so yummy!!

[@pagedbypego]

Those brownies look so yummy and a win for giving it a shot.

[@ciarascorner]

Thanks!

[@tristinrose13]

Pineapple and black olive is my absolute favorite pizza toppings!

[@ciarascorner]

A winning combination!

[@GreenAndTheToe]

Hi☺️ Could you do a video of how to start going to the gym? I would like to train my butt but I am scared to go to the gym. Because I don’t know what to do there! You do run, yoga, gym, I need your advice!

[@ciarascorner]

Hey - so, my biggest piece of advice is to simply do it, whether it’s yoga, swimming, gym or running - you just have to get started and once you do it becomes less scary!

[@GreenAndTheToe]

@@ciarascorner thank you Ciara! How did you learn how to use machines at the gym? That’s the scariest part for me!

[@ciarascorner]

Most machines actually have a diagram on that tells you what to do which is helpful! There’s also lots of videos out there about how to use common gym equipment. Another thing that might help is paying for a gym induction that way a personal trainer will be able to show you around your actual gym and give demos so you feel confident to go on your own after that!

[@GreenAndTheToe]

@@ciarascorner thank you so much for the advice Ciara! I admire your movements and passion towards things. I want to be like you.

[@greenblue1959]

I really wish I could read in a car/plane but it makes me feel SO sick so always feels like wasted time. Pineapple in general is a big no for me 🤢

[@ciarascorner]

Aww💔 I definitely feel lucky I can read and travel at the same time! And that’s fair enough!

[@misanthropistbookworm]

1. I don't ever eat pineapple in pizza. I absolutely dislike the mox of sweet and salty things. ^^U 2. I agree, Viktor Frankenstein is absolutely responsible for his own misfortunes. Poor creature! :( 3. Those browniiiiieeees! Can I have some, please? XD

[@ciarascorner]

hahaha - that's fair enough! And yes - justice for the creature!

[@themadmarchhare24]

Vegetarian Hawaiian pizza is amazing. I’m a convert

[@ciarascorner]

It’s not something I ever ate before going vegan but now I’m a convert too!

[@helenmcguinness6322]

Not sure spuds 🥔 are normally found on a pizza 🍕 never mind pineapple Ciara 😂😂 Who cares tho if you fancy it!

[@ciarascorner]

Hahah with an Irish mum, I’ll have potatoes with everything!!

[@MaryAmongStories]

💛🌻

[@gingerninja356]

I never eat pizza without pineapple 🍍 it’s fantastic having sweet mixed with salty

[@ciarascorner]

Such a great combo!

[@szosz12]

Great video:) I really can’t stand pinapple on pizza but I don’t mind others having it. When I read Frankenstein I really couldn’t tell if I love or hate the book but it was very memorable and interesting. Through the whole book I felt like Victor feels very queer (gay/bi) in personality and how he talks about friendships with guys, what do you think about that? (I’m queer and was my favourite part of the book haha) Anyways thank you for inspiring me to read, I feel way better since I watch your videos and I read a lot:)

[@ciarascorner]

Memorable is definitely the right word for Frankenstein! Yes I think you’re right - we definitely discussed that when I studied it at school - another way to look at his relationships with other males is as a reflection of his own ego, he judges people by specific physical standards and even seeks the most beautiful body parts to create the creature - so many ways to interpret!

[@gingerninja356]

Nothing more tired than doing nothing and travelling ! I don’t sleep well in strange beds either

[@ciarascorner]

It’s so strange isn’t it! But doing nothing can be so tiring!

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

I think pineapple shouldn't be on Italian pizza, but with more American style pizzas, I think it can be really good. Oscar is such a cutie! And those brownies looked great.

[@ciarascorner]

I know what you mean - with proper Italian pizza, just plain tomato, garlic and basil is perfect!

[@valntc3433]

You look like Rory Gilmore, but like, the one in real life, I enjoyed the video tho, even when I´ve already read Frankstein I frankly enjoyed your opinions about the book. You acquired a new subscriber, and I´ll be anxously waiting for another video

[@ciarascorner]

Thanks so much!!

[@eprohoda]

Hey~ mate- really splendid done~ see ya!,💯

[@brilliant5126]

Those brownies look heavenly! 😍 I hope we will be getting to see some more sourdough loaves also? Have a great week, Ciara! ❤️

[@ciarascorner]

Lots more sourdough is coming!

[@grodriguez7225]

I haven’t read Reputation but I am interested to give it a go‼️ You and J are so cute‼️I like🍍 On pizza but not all the time it depends on my mood. Oh Brownies Yum! I feel you half of my guy friends have bottomless stomaches! PS: I just finished So This Is After Ever it was charming, funny, and so romantic‼️ As for Run Rose Run 47 chapters and 168 pages‼️ Last but not least I’m almost done with The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue which is surprising but also makes me so happy‼️

[@giovannaaraujoamaral2939]

I think pineapple on pizza can be incredible when done well (super juicy pineapple and salty cheese) but disgusting when done badly, so realoy depends on the place 😂

[@ciarascorner]

Hahha I think that’s true of most pizza toppings!

[@aamnainfebruary]

Am I the only one who thinks that she looks like Claire Foy?????

[@ciarascorner]

That’s the first time I’ve had that one - I usually get Alexis Bledel/Rory Gilmore

[@lilaccottage]

Pineapple does not belong on pizza! 🤢

[@ciarascorner]

hahah fair enough!

[@kendra-reads]

Pineapple on pizza is 🤮

[@ciarascorner]

Hahha😅😂
