[@sydneymartin8925]

I really appreciate you showing how you and Ed are friends now. I am going through a breakup with a long term partner and we plan on staying friends as well. I think the model for breakups is often so negative and hostile. So, it’s refreshing to see someone else doing it differently. Anyway, thank you for being open and sincere in your videos ❤

[@HJPeet]

Stay soft. Stay hydrated. Best advice I’ve received all year tbh.

[@gyozas1]

te amo, fran. sos muy dulce. ayer fui a una feria de ilustración (argentina) ¡y con algunes dibujantes hablamos de vos! de cómo nos acompañaste y te acompañamos en literalmente el camino de la vida. no me había percatado de cuántos años pasaron desde que te sigo, de todo lo que evolucionaste y de las situaciones de tu vida que fui "atestiguando". creo que sos como mi gilmore girls. una serie comfy de coming of age pero que no es serie porque por suerte el mundo real sí te tiene en él y no sos solo ficción 🧡 (wow esas fueron muchas palabras).

[@beckie10]

I love seeing all your graphic novel hauls! It’s fun seeing the kind of art you’re drawn to. I used to read comics a lot (but never really graphic novels) and when I first started out I chose comics based on stories/shows I enjoyed and very quickly realized I love the artwork just as much as the stories! I have 100% been known to choose comics based purely on the art style🙃 It’s wonderful seeing all the different art there is out there! I currently don’t read them as much so it’s nice seeing what you get for yourself. And I’m actually working on “shopping my own library” when it comes to books because, like you, I already have so many I want to read! I won’t let myself buy any more for now. So! I love your book hauls too. Basically, what I’m saying is I live vicariously through you lol, so I say keep it up!😆 P.S.-That jacket is totally 80s work wear (think Golden Girls), shoulder pads and all. Love it!

[@HooliganMomma]

OK Fran...Thank you for introducing me to Guillermo Lorca ...one shot of his work and I'm obsessed...disturbing and magnificent at the same time..Thank You for posting that shot of his painting!! Also..."House of the Spirits" is one of my favorite books...and I Love the movie as well!! xo

[@xxRooz]

Your videos are so calm and relaxing. I love how you show a lot of scenery with only music or even without. It's a joy to watch, like being on a stroll with you. I have never been to Barcelona but it looks so good! Thank you for your beautiful videos 💖

[@mypersonalpainpoint]

I love your book-related videos! They are very inspiring 🌼

[@colleenisanerd]

If you're looking for an easy, not too technical sci-fi book to try, I'd recommend the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers. Queer/non cishet characters, the world she creates isn't too complex by typical sci-fi standards and the stories are pretty engaging.

[@liart6219]

This was an nice, soft, video. Perfect for my morning coffee, thank you so much Fran! Starting a new Watercolor sketchbook today and “ Stay soft . Stay hydrated. ‘ will go on the first page 😊

[@cla___ro___21]

Dear Fran, just finished reading “How do you live?” by Genzaburo Yoshino and only now realised it’s the inspiration for Miyazaki’s new movie. It’s the loveliest book I’ve read this year, thought I’d share. Warm regards from sunny Lisbon!

[@yolandathin1502]

Qué bonito verte por mi ciudad y descubriendo las preciosas librerías que tenemos, un disfrute verte en Bcn !

[@Catniela]

Fran!!! Me pasa algo super loco cuando subes videos, es como un presentimiento que tengo antes de que lo publiques, es durante el día donde pienso “la fran hace tiempo no sube videos” o “que ganas de ver un video de la fran” cosas así y luego pasan unas horas, me meto a KZbin y adivina!! Frannerd ha subido un video! Jaja que alegra mucho cuando me pasa, justo hoy volví a escuchar los podcast con Edo y me identifico mucho con sus personalidades, en fin, amo tu trabajo y te admiro mucho ❤espero algún día poder tener el Ugly sketchbook, saludos desde Chile 😸

[@inawoodenhouse]

13:17 I'm not exactly fashionable myself but I would be more inclined to call it an over-shirt than a jacket, with a jacket I always think of long sleeves

[@julie_uk_]

Throwback for me, I adored Stereolab in my 20's! I'm nearly 50 now ❤

[@calthemashedpotato]

im sooooooo in love with your videos🦋🫧 (and always with the jazz bgm🤌🏽)

[@CharlesHeathcote]

Thank you for inviting us along with you on your adventures. I've been looking for graphic novel recommendations recently, so thrilled to see what you hauled and hope that you find some new favourites among them. Admittedly, I was rather enthusiastic when I saw that you picked up Joann Sfar - I have been a fan of his work for a while and always happy when more folk explore his work. I first discovered his graphic novel, The Rabbi's Cat, and recommend that should you like The Little Vampire.

[@jawarablake]

Glad I’m not the only one with an army of books I buy and haven’t read yet. ❤

[@MummyBrown]

Oh man, you're gonna LOVE The House of the Spirits. That's one of my faves!

[@mounthive]

Your videos continue to be ultimately inspiring and mood-enhancing Your light sense of humour can cure any depression and i can only hope to meet you irl someday!

[@Ludesto]

I love you and the way you dedicate to your art

[@vene_unsweetened]

“I’m going to say a lot of words in Spanish, so buckle up.” 😂

[@noamagica9327]

Fraaan que emoción verte paseando por Barcelona! Soy de aquí, pero ver la ciudad a través de tu mirada es maravilloso :) También, gran Fan de Ursula K. Le Guin! Hay que tener un poco de paciencia pero vale la pena. Lo que se te queda no son los nombres, sino la experiencia y las enseñanzas. Un abrazo!!!

[@nuriaayma3336]

Y por cierto, Bloc Party 'Silent Party' me encanta tambien ❤

[@themoonlitrealms]

I love all your videos and this one was no exception. I'm always excited when you upload a new one because I love them so much :') And I never get tired of book hauls because I have discovered so many authors by watching and listening to you, and it's great to hear your thoughts. All the best Fran xx

[@jenvcampbell]

I'd call it a shacket (shirt/jacket) ☺ The Barcelona section of this vlog was giving me Greta Gerwig/Frances Ha vibes in the best, best way. Big love. xx

[@sifsmit]

Gilmore reference! ☺️ If eating cake is wrong, I don’t wanna be right 📚

[@babybluekat]

Stay soft and hydrated !!!!! 🫡

[@Pinaizee]

✨ Hi Fran! 🐳✨ I enjoy your videos so much they’re like gifts haha. Also, I love the book haul and reviews. I’ve bought a graphic novel called This One Summer a few years ago because of you. Not only do I enjoy it so much I love sitting it next to your book called About To Leave. All the graphic novel recommendations are amazing.Thank you for sharing!

[@noovernightguests]

Such a lovely vlog, thank you for taking the time to share your trip with us! I loved the book haul, so much variety and so much to look forward too. Yeah, when your to-read list feels overwhelming, I start mentally removing books from my list and focusing on what I'm reading currently. Love from the crazy city of Philly.

[@mariaelenatis]

Hola soy María Elena desde Chile, me encantó tu viaje a Barcelona y los libros que compraste ,amo leer ,saludos

[@sarard3900]

Fran! Te sigo hace mil años y a Nuria tmb, qué locura encontrarme con este crossover, que bueno que te haya gustado su estilo!!

[@zirtaeb001]

Book hauls are the best keep ‘em coming ❤ Los hauls de libros son los mejores, sigue subiéndolos ❤

[@antran25495]

this video has everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it, books, art, travel, life snippets, and you!!!!!!!!!

[@bethaniepetitpas5699]

That Allende is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, and it's crazy because it heavily features a character who is just a completely unlikeable monster. I don't know if you are familiar with the artist Emma Rios,but ifyouhaven't I highly recommend her series Mirror and the series Pretty Deadly. Her illustration is incredible. On Pretty Deadly she collaborates with writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and what they have made is just perfection. Unreal.

[@paulasouza8842]

I was missing you, Fran! These cities in Spain are so pretty! So thankful for having your company! :)

[@inkseer]

Love me some Joann Far comics. I'll have to check out these other ones too.

[@alice.lefthandedscissors]

omg Fran not the editing at 10:45 😭 so good, such a mood. Loved the vibes in this video!

[@hopeyhope2012]

Currently laying in bed with an injured leg and sciatic nerve pain, this is helping me relax so much 🥲

[@maitenancuvil336]

kruangbin❤ una banda que transporta! Al igual que tus videos❤ y que hermoso escucharte hablar español, desde Santiago de Chile, Cariños❤

[@lunapanillustration]

Hi Fran! Thank you so much for sharing your book haul! It makes me so glad to know that you like my work💛 Really nice that you went to Finestres as it is a fantastic library in BCN!

[@EllenMitchellxo]

I am going to Barcelona in a couple of weeks, will definitely be checking some of these places out!

[@velocitygirl8551]

I loooove hearing you say Isabel Allende 🖤

[@nochnitsa]

Hi Fran! I already wanted to comment on your last video but I was too inspired and overwhelmed :D I'm so glad your patrons convinced you to post another book haul - I looooove watching you talking about books. I like to save your videos for when I have a bit of calm time to myself during the day, and then I really savour them like a favourite snack. They make me feel so peaceful and inspired, even if it's only inspiration to clean my apartment. We are going to Barcelona too in November, so I already bookmarked this video in my Notion 😎Thanks so much for being you :*

[@radbu1075]

Ugh Silent Alarm is such an excellent album. Every song is a banger.

[@Monoxddddd]

Esos momentos de señora son geniales!

[@Sava218]

Thank you for this video 💖 I'm always excited to hear you talk about books 😊🌟 The stores are all so beautiful !! Also, for those who are maybe wondering, we got a glimpse of Greta Van Fleet at 5:33 ❤

[@selgermoglio2819]

You know, most of the time I've got my future all figured out. But every now and then, I'm like a blindfolded chicken in a maze! However, this video is EXACTLY how I want to live. This video and add a little bit of daily painting >>> My life *-*

[@inMuro]

House of spirits (Isabel Allende) - one of my favorite books

[@alexareadsx]

Hola Fran, acabo de descubrir tu canal hace dos días y me estoy viendo los videos del más nuevo al más antiguo, me gusta mucho tu estilo, lo qué haces y lo que lees. Me inspiras a seguir leyendo, conocer más autores y más artistas. Soy diseñadora gráfica y quiero invertir más tiempo en arte ✨ nueva suscriptora.

[@professoratalitamartins9651]

Loving your vlogs! Regards from Brazil!

[@eyraluna]

Amo tu acentoooo✨ que buenos libros

[@ChantelleArts]

hope you had a lovely time ❤✨

[@ilared]

I can see why you where self isolating in Berlin, from the footage that airbnb looked STUNNING! (i'm a sucker for white interiors, big big windows, greenery inside and outside). are you planning to come to Milano anytime soon? I'd be happy to show you around :)

[@chelsyescalona]

So nice to see another vlog Fran! Glad you enjoy your trip and so sorry to have you missed Berlin, hoping to catch your next video soon!

[@eugeniacruzros]

Me encantan tus recomendaciones, tanto en libros como en la música que escuchas, muchas gracias por compartirlo ❤

[@magdalenamodesto5572]

Gracias por este video Fran! Me ayudaste a encontrar inspiración y a darle importancia a mi amor por los libros y a mis ganas de hacer videos hablando de libros. Los libros que has comprado son muy bellos. Disfrútalos y no dejes de hacer videos sobre libros!

[@Dreamhousedream]

Peak señora behavior ponerse a chismear que pasa afuera en el balcón/ventana 😂 10/10 espero estés bien Fran! 💕

[@saraisosa7137]

I needed a new video from you!!! So much to do and no new videos to keep me company lol

[@katrinadechanes33]

Amo estos videos. Desde el inicio hasta el final. Me encanta como te detenés en los detalles, ya sea en el recorrido de una muestra de arte o en la observación de una novela gráfica, así como también en el modo en que filmás.

[@amalgame-b2p]

Yeah !! Joan Sfar is a massive author in France ⭐️ i can also recommend his journals graphic novels

Gracias Fran!

[@reemeiali]

Thank you Fran for sharing your trip with us❤ and I am so proud of you with your books journey I am in my books journey as you

Me encanta leer pero también me encantan los libros como objetos, las ediciones que compraste son todas preciosas. Es un poco ASMR escuchar el ruido que hacen las tapas 💖 jajaja. Necesito que lleguen a Argentina Dulce de leche y Grip, quedé fascinada. Otro video muy lindo Fran!

[@virginiec425]

Hi ! I didn't know that Tamarit draw an other graphic novel before "Géante" ! I immediatly recognized her graphic style and was like "OMG there's another one !!??"

[@miss_vinagre]

La manera en que estos videos me dan una paz interior y una calma es algo que ni siquiera sé explicar. Pero vamos, Que siempre me inspiras! Care no envía a España todavía, xD porque me has conquistado (tienes una manera muy natural de hacer las promos)

[@Cafeinacoli]

[@mouemily]

[@lightbulbnirvana]

I have to let you know that I love taking in the footage of Barcelona. One of my ancestors is from there! Fran, you are such a disciplined reader. I have no courage to read Nabokov. How close are you to completing W&P? Thanks for this post! It made me happy. How lucky you are to travel. ❤

[@JimenaBlack]

Fran!!! Nunca es demasiado contenido sobre libros 😂 me encantaaaaa, muchas gracias por este vlog ❤ mejoró mucho mi día (que fue horrible). Te recomiendo muchísimo leer a Guadalupe Nettel, en especial El cuerpo en que nací, pienso que te gustará mucho :D

[@angelicavis]

I went to Barcelona and it's lovely to see all the places that you visited and to recognize them! Such a wonderful green city :)

[@lamochilademary1969]

The best book of Isabel Allende is “Ines del Alma Mía “

[@msellenandrea]

never such a thing as too much book content! :D

[@bethbcrafts]

Realizing that there are so many books I want to read and not enough time to read them all has been FREEING. Because now if I'm not enjoying the book I have ZERO guilt DNFing it.
