Tis the Damn Readathon final reading vlog | Drinking By My Shelf

[@indiatolley2941]

Hippo has my whole heart, what a precious bean🥺🧡🧡

[@Bananaboat13798]

I add too many books to my Goodreads TBR everytime I watch your videos 😍😬

[@lovedeary77]

Trying to teach RG how to braid your hair is a mood 😆 i try to get my bf to braid my hair and he gives up way faster so props to him for sticking it out, it was looking pretty good too!

[@theyingyang13]

Yoga while reading. WHAT a concept! 😍

[@tokyochemist]

The Hole was so good that when I read it in the original Japanese I wanted to translate it immediately! Unfortunately as I'm not a translator I (stupidly) dropped that dream. But I just knew it would get translated eventually (although it still took 4 years). In any case, it's a book that explores a lot of typical Japanese themes, particularly of familial roles and duty: duty to our parents, duty to our husbands, duty to our husband's family; family versus neighbors, large city versus countryside life; loss of tradition, etc. The scene where she is in the bathroom talking with a lot of her former coworkers about becoming a housewife should be a big clue as to the theme of the book. Hope that helps!

You’re making me want to read Mr. Loverman!

My god I laughed so much during the braid part. Needed that! Haha you can always count on Emma for a good laugh

[@mollyjane8060]

I too always say hello clarice when wearing a face mask. And oh my god I would have lost it seeing a mouse!

[@anyawillowfan]

I love these videos, so many relatable moments (needing a wee and being too comfy to move). And I would recommend watching a video on how to do ladder stitches as that's what I'd recommend (as someone who's been a beginner at sewing for a few years now lol).

[@books_and_ki]

The cardigan is 😻 and you did effing great with the sock (three times!!!) and the French braid.

[@korieturlington1608]

I want I house tour SO BAD!! Your house gives me allllllllll the right vibes and I’m in love with it 🤪

[@normanorourke5832]

I loved mr lover man book and the blood orange one

[@AbiofPellinor]

Not even joking I learnt to french braid hair on a dolls head when I was 15 and tbh it was ridiculously helpful hahahaha

[@CaitlynAnneReads]

Season 6 of Married at First Sight Australia is the best one

[@peasalexandrowicz790]

yes! my favorite era!!

[@lucyolsen1561]

obsessed with how you're obsessed with mafs - not sure if i should be proud of the aussie tv you're enjoying, but you are welcome

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

It is SO GOOD

@@DrinkingByMyShelf my dad's coworker was on one of the seasons (michael??) and we watched it religiously so we could mock him lol

[@ravensandblots]

Watching y’all try and do the French braid made me laugh so hard- awesomely done 😂😍

[@meringuedd]

rg trying to french braid your hair was so funny 😂

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

he's such a good sport

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

I love the show Married At 1st Sight the U.S. version😍 I've been watching it for yrs!!!

[@SparklesBooks]

I absolutely loved this video, I need to dark a few of my favourite socks too because I’ve had similar mishaps 😂

[@peasalexandrowicz790]

14:01 yess this looks is amazing and very folkloreish, cottagecore lesbianish

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Cycling after a while can be intense lol. I am glad mr loverman was good! I felt mixed about girl woman other but I do want to try another by her. Your reaction to finishing blood orange cracked me up. Seems very... unsettled?

[@sandraraedeer4849]

oooh getting my first Gusto box this week.

[@BohoBookworm]

OMG Yaaaassss I LOVE Married at First Sight!! Who is your fav couple?? RG plaiting your hair..... ahhhhhhhhh that is too cute. YOU'RE my favorite couple everrrr. Funnily enough Blood Orange is my works bookclub pick this month! Though I worry it may trigger me as my ex just got arrested for attacking me :(

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Oh my god I’m so sorry to hear that how are you holding up?

[@sakibulshihab528]

I have never been this fast. Love you by the way. ❤️💕

[@ashlynski]

this readathon was so fun! it was my first and i completed 6 of the 9 albums i think (a few prompts in some, only one in others). ❤️

[@ashlynski]

also it was nice to “see” (more like hear lol) sophie again!

[@VirtueMoir27]

I just started the Fosters and I'm obsessed 😂 my essays, work and reading have been difficult

[@GunpowderFictionPlot]

I am terrified of mice. Actually, I'm terrified of rats, mice are just little rats who are waiting to grow. I read Mr Loverman last week or the week before, Barrington was a masochistic, but that was good, because none of Everisto's characters are perfect or completely flawed either, it's just so human.

[@racheltfisher]

I think both mice and rats are so cute 😍😍

[@rebecca3762]

i love hippo so much ;-;

[@CheyeW13]

as difficult as it is to french braid my own hair, i think it's more difficult to french braid someone else's 😅😅

[@korieturlington1608]

Opposite for me!! lol

[@IfersInklings]

There is another book called Blood Orange by Drusilla Campbell. It's a domestic mystery/thriller contemporary. I owned it at one time but it involves a missing kid named Bailey and my oldest daughter's name is Bailee so I could never bring myself to read it.

[@jack8841]

This is why i gave up trying to learn to sew

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I wish I had gotten a cardigan 😭

[@racheltfisher]

I am like that about face masks 😆

omg where did you get that groovy chick shirt 😍

[@supernovellas]

It's kind of appropriate that your evermore read didn't give you closure... 🎶

[@lyndf4487]

Wait till you watch our current season of MAFS and get a load of Bryce lol.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

I can't wait!!

[@tonileigh09]

Did I miss the Rebecca live show?? Went back and looked at the Twitter and it said it was yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

No sorry I posted on Twitter that it was postponed!

[@tonileigh09]

@@DrinkingByMyShelf oh great I didn’t miss it!

[@antoniak2498]

How did you like the audiobook for Mr Loverman? I listened to it this month and I absolutely loved the narrator. I am not sure I would have gotten the humour with only reading it. (Humor isn't exactly my strength 😜)

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Yes the narrator made it so much better!!

[@lisa60932]

Whenever I say anything about mice my dad always says “just keep your mouth closed when you open a press” THAT IS NOT HELPFUL

[@biankatoth1786]

How to shut up a man? Tell him to french braid your hair :D

[@jesshasbooks]

blood orange 😡😡

[@books_and_ki]

I've done a face mask only twice in my life. WTAF. Did you mean sheet masks or just face masks in general?

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

any of them!!

[@books_and_ki]
