My name is Kalyn, I love books, and all things that go with being an introverted homebody. Thank you for watching and all your support

[@brandyange1753]

I started getting really sick a few years ago with some of the same symptoms you listed. It started out with me just being really tired and then dizzy, with a lot of anxiety. I gradually got more and more depressed. The doctor told me I had REALLY low iron, and that I had Iron Deficiency anemia. I also had stomach issues and tried going dairy free and other things. It turns out I have Celiac disease, which since it isn't a gluten allergy, doesn't show up on an allergy test. But If gluten is damaging your small intestine it can cause you to form sensitivities to other foods, especially dairy, and can cause anemia because your small intestine is too damaged to absorb the iron you eat. This is the first video of yours I've watched so I'm not sure if you have checked into it. But statistically most people with celiac go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because the symptoms of it can vary so much from person to person. I actually wouldn't have been diagnosed except I asked specifically to be tested for it. My doctor thought it was an odd request but it came back overwhelmingly positive! Hope you find answers faster than I did!

Hi Kalyn, how are you? The intro was totally amazing! Through your channel you spread so much positivity. I love watching your videos, you are such a kind and sweet person and that's something everyone can tell. I am so excited to watch your vlog, it looks so cozy already. Have a great day! :)

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww hello sweet friend! I’m so glad you liked the intro. Thank you for your sweet comment I’m so happy to have you as part of our little community 🥰🥰 I hope you have an amazing day as well!

[@thePMreader]

Your videos are always so gorgeous! I've really been wanting to read A Monster Calls and a Pinch of Magic. I'm so glad to know they are worth the read 😊

[@CamilaMartinez1327]

I'm so sorry to hear about your anxiety, I hope you're doing better now!

[@MeganElisabeth]

The intro to this video was so cute :) Always a huge fan of your cozy vlogs, they put me in such a good mood and motivate me to make progress on my own reading!

[@soniaesquivel9385]

I absolutely love the vlogs where you bake! I also love it when Lexi bakes in hers!! I would be so happy if you guys shared the recipes because I want a cozy bake and reading experience too!! Great vlog!

[@StephLoves]

Kalyn this was so cute. I love your reading vlogs. I'm so sorry you've been struggling with your anxiety. I'm sending you a ton of love. ❤️

[@benevolentink3552]

Ohmygoodness Kalyn 😍 your videos always make me so happy when I see them!

[@emilysmith6524]

You are so good at editing and I love your intros!! You’re such an inspiration when it comes to reading too. You have gotten me out of my reading shell!

[@taylord7086]

I just stumbled across your channel tonight and I can’t wait to watch your videos. You seem so kind and loving and you create such a comfortable atmosphere so thank you.

[@snamorsixteen]

Hi Kalyn! I wonder if you could also put the music you use in the description? Your vlogs really sound good and cozy. :)

[@eliciaroper]

All That You Are - Elicia Roper Synopsis: This novel tells the story of Athena and Caiden. Caiden is strong willed and self-less, he puts the needs of his family and friends above his own. Athena is a firecracker with a kind-hearted soul. As they go through the journey of life you will see how Athena and Caiden bring comfort to each other, as they learn to cope and mend with the pain of loss and heartbreak.

[@Carolinesbookworld]

Omg please do a tour of your bookshelf/room it looks so appealing!

[@curationofselena]

I feel bad that you haven't had a good reading year and I hope that it gets better by the end of the year and that you're doing okay through everything because you're such a kind person & I love your videos so much! They're so calm and relaxing especially after a tiring day and thank you for that :) ♡♡♡

[@jed___cloud]

Super cozy homy bookish vlog! Love every bit of it. Waving from the Philippines! 😊♥️

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Eeeeeeeek!! I got the notification when I was at work but I just made a latte, grabbed my book, and I’m ready to (kind of) hang out ☺️💛

[@livslibrary]

You crying at A Monster Calls. All the feels. 😭😭😭 I need to read more of his books! I picked up that Dark Tide book when I was in the bookstore last too cause it looks so cool! Okay I want A Pinch of Magic just because of the quiz. 😂

[@brookejean3187]

Being low in vitamin B, D, and Iron can really affect your mental state! I highly recommend also looking into ashwaganda root, it is amazing for anxiety/ depression and balancing hormones. It also has helped me so much with my inflammation and bloating! 💖 I absolutely love your videos, I have been struggling really bad lately myself with anxiety and your videos are always so calming 💖

[@JulEnglefaris]

Yes for sure. Women can be really sensitive to iron though (it can make your stomach cramp and cause nausea) so don't take a lot of iron, but some is good 👌

[@madireads4413]

I'll definitely be checking out A Pinch of Magic- thanks for the rec. Loved this vid too! 🥰

[@kialazyeyereader1822]

Am so here for the cozy vibe 😁🧡

I need to read A Monster Calls! Everyone has been raving about it, so I need to check it out.

[@starlasell5698]

I did my own Middle Grade March and read many great books. A Pinch of Magic was my favorite, five star book!!

[@breannbarfield7]

I’m from Oklahoma and we had such a nice cozy and rainy fall day today so I am sooo excited to curl up and binge this video 😍 I love your content so much!

[@lauterbath22]

I live in Oklahoma too!

[@syazanasyed]

Wohoo! 32 minutes of Kalyn 😍

[@handmeanotherbook7640]

The flowers are so so so pretty!:)

[@beckyduff]

The Wild Path cover looks so beautiful 😍

[@readerssea]

I loved Serpent & Dove and hoping to get Blood & Honey soon. Also your aesthetic is everything I wish I could be 😭😍😍😍

[@teanlit2949]

I'm so glad you enjoyed a pinch of magic. it seemed like it was going to be a wonderful read.

[@RealReaderEmily]

I struggled with stomach issues for years and years after going through like every test and nothing being wrong it boiled down to my generalized anxiety. My GI gave me acid reflux medicine and that allowed my stomach to settle enough to not feel anxious about it which I’m turn kept my stomach from being upset

[@Blessedmommy22]

Loved the vlog!! 🌟

[@madeleinejackson9218]

You are actually unbelievably beautiful and it makes me so happy. You look so harmonical and peaceful, you look stunning. Have a lovely weekend

[@KeeleyJo]

Ooo I definitely want to read A Pinch of Magic!

[@rissasaki]

I finished yesterday A Pinch of Magic for the Whimsy Readathon! Unfortunately I didn't like it as much as you did, but I'm so excited for the other middle grade reads that I have this month! ✨🥰

[@melissastokes9220]

Love your videos so so much! They always help me unwind after stressful work days. I love that book mark. Where did you get it? Thankful for your content😊

[@nolakhalid7745]

This is sooo beautiful

[@brynn9951]

Can i just say your dogs are perfect

[@tanyaroberts919]

I cant wait to read all of my books on my TBR this month, strongly inspired by your Alice through Wonderland theme

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay but your outfit in the mirror is SO CUTE

[@mellowattsWinchester3]

Ahh I love Brandon Sanderson!! He was one of the first adult fantasy writers that I read when I was 13-15, and I still deeply treasure the Mistborn trilogy (series?). I have the Way of Kings book that I haven't finished, but my dad has and he loves the Stormlight series. Would highly recommend any of his stuff to anyone who's wanting to read beautiful and creative fantasy. Love your vlogs! They encourage me to get back into reading when I feel burnt out.

[@sharmisthadas2026]

The aesthetic 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww thank you!! 🙈🙈

[@MyLocsareREAL]

Kalyn, I used to feel really tired throughout the day even when I got a good night sleep... this was about 10 years ago and I started taking B12 and it help my energy level tremendously.. And 4 years ago My Husband and I went vegan because My daughter refused to eat meat 🤦🏾‍♀️ And that combined with my b vitamins and vitamin D3 help me feel really great!!!

[@JulEnglefaris]

B vitamins I swear make me even MORE tired lol. I'm so mad about it 😂 Glad they work for you!

[@amieereads8452]

The Forgotten Kingdom is immediately going into my cart!

[@Michelle-iq7vw]

Do you have a playlist with the songs you use for your vlogs? They are amazing :)

[@SoleilCeline]

Aw I’m so sorry apple picking is out for the year :( I missed the Apple picking season too 😪

[@mariebroutin1111]

Your ring is so beautiful. Thanks for this video.

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh thank you so much 💛💛

[@NTHEPAGES]

Where did you get the tests to check your vitamin levels? I have some of those same issues and I’ve never thought to check those things.

[@latoyalewis]

I was going to say that the movie for A Monster Calls really is so good - and I never like movies as much as the book! But yeah a lot of crying 😢

[@zahirareads4538]

the movie made me sob!

[@DauntlessBookReader]

So I tried reading The Way Of Kings years ago but didn’t get very far into it but I might give it a second chance at some point :) Hubert was totally video bombing when he looked back at the camera :) and I’ve heard good things about The Dark Tide too 👍🏻 so many good books have come out this year it’s crazy 😝

[@sarahgibby3896]

Loved this video SO MUCH!! I was wondering what narrator you used for the audiobook of A Pinch of Magic? I want to listen to the audiobook but there are a couple different narrators and I don't know which one to listen to. X

[@CarolMarieReads]

So I tested negative for a gluten allergy years ago. And then this year my doctor told me people get false negatives often because not everyone has whatever is needed to show they have a gluten allergy or sensitivity. I cut gluten and feel better! Just wanted to share so you could try or look into. I have severe anxiety and depression. Our gut health is so important and is so sensitive and affects the rest of our body. Good luck!

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

Love you and your amazing channel love 💖 John from Australia please stay safe and strong xxx

[@anautisticreader2963]

Being low on Vitamin D can also cause some major issues. My level was a 10 and the doctors are trying to get me up to the 40s or 50s.

[@thisakindredspiritcozynook]

Hiiiiiiii, much love from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago..the audiobook for the second one comes out on scribd on the 16th of this month..Which audioapp do you use?

[@anamikamathur6441]

You’re so gorgeous! Love your videos!xx

[@KalynAbridged]

Anamika thank you so much for the sweet comment 🥺🥺

[@DaninaPetroskova]

Anamika Mathur I agree that she is gorgeous. She doesn’t need to wish to be like that cover of the book.

[@luciameza2522]

Hey Kalyn! have u read the percy jackson books? or any book by rick riordan really, i think you´ll really love them!

[@laurakoehler1099]

Sorry you are dealing with anxiety and depression. I have struggled with it all my life and it has been extra lately. I am sure its from all the stress of the pandemic etc. Make sure you take care of yourself ❤

[@georgiefarr1094]

I haven't done a 24 hour readathon because my life is so busy at the moment and because 2020 has been a bad start to the decade, I'll definitely do it before the year ends as I want 2021 to be a fresh start 😘😘😘

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww I’m so sorry you haven’t been able to! Yes 2020 has been pretty terrible 😭😭 I hope you’re able do one by the end of the year. 🤞🏻

[@georgiefarr1094]

@@KalynAbridged I hope so. If anyone does one around the beginning of December (I know Christmas shopping will be busy) I'll definitely take part 🤩🤩

[@laurakoehler1099]

What recipe do you use for your banana bread?

[@carlynharris6915]

Where did you get your round mirror in your book haul part?

[@MyLocsareREAL]

I never read Serpent & Dove but after seeing the Blood &Honey Cover.....the cover is gorgeous so I have to get both books....Side note I know that’s the worst reason to get a book 🤦🏾‍♀️ But fingers crossed 🤞🏾 for a good read😂🥰

[@nohelanikh6788]

I’m a combo of Fliss and Charlie 😄

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I just put both The Promised Neverland and A Monster Calls on hold from the library, thanks for the recommendations! Oh, and also A Pinch of Magic . . . I think I need to stop bingeing your videos so I can go read . . .

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Wait, also Fable and The Wild Path. I really need to stop watching . . .

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I'm so excited to come across your channel (and I'm sure the book stores and my library are also excited)!

[@Sharifa466]

Watching Kalyn spray two puffs of perfume when you spray half the bottle in one go 🤣

[@librarygoblin94]

Hi Kalyn! Love your videos. They're giving me all the long-awaited cozy, fall vibes! Just a bit of constructive feedback: the audio volume for your songs are quite loud compared to when you're just talking, and it's a bit of a jarring transition each time. I would recommend you increase the volume on your dialogue bits to be more cohesive with the sound volume. Again, love your channel!

[@zoeedelaney]

Eeeeeep I’m here!!😍

[@KalynAbridged]

Yay!!! Thanks for watching sweet friend 🥰

[@dianavaldez7820]

Is the monster call a sad book because I can't read books that make me cry right know I'm currently pregnant

[@NightCircus]

May I ask what's the name of the song playing at 12:50-14:10?

[@aleshaclaywell3699]

I got Coraline a little bit ago. It was good. 🎃🍁 Have you ever read The woman in cabin 10?

[@hellokittypop25]

Kalyn!! If you love whimsical with magic and all the feel goods, please check out Sarah Addison Allen. I found her years ago and she is amazing! Like slipping on a cozy blanket...kinda like your vlogs make us all feel!

[@dianavaldez6780]

I'm taking my time on reading the train to impossible place I like the books I am inviting the book I'll just have to see the video when I'm done

[@snamorsixteen]

A Monster Calls destroyed me. But is a must-read.

[@debrarudolph8911]

You should read my novels 'Castle Lochwind Savage Bloodline the Coming and the Sequel Castle Lochwind Savage Bloodline the Shifters! I'm a new author working on the third to make these a Trilogy! Thanks

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

Hey

[@NaomiElizabeth96]

If you want another sad book recommendations you should read forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma , it’s amazing but heartbreaking Trigger warnings : suicide and incest (which sound like it would be disgusting to read about but this book doesn’t make it that way) x
