tote bags as stockings is an amazing idea! I always have real christmas trees, they really do smell good, after new years my mother puts the branches on her roses to protect them from snow and cold. (we put branches on the roses in november as well, but in january it usually get's colder, that's why we put more after holidays)

[@hollieclark9796]

XOXO by Axie Oh is soooo good. Definitely my favorite book of the year! Also, did anyone else see that Barnes and Noble has snow globes with book trees in them? They’re so pretty!

HIIIIIII, I noticed in another video you only had 2 books from the school for good and evil series… I know the first 3 books are for younger readers and a bit slow, HOWEVER, the 4th 5th and 6th ARE THE BEST. It’s base after school and you get to experience the world and see so many more characters AND THERE ARE AMAZING PLOT TWISTS. If you have actually read them… then this is embarrassing and hope you enjoyed as much as I did! P.S. LOVE YOURRRR CHANNEELLL

I always appreciate another death book recommendation, especially since I made death section on my bookshelf. I have personally read The Deathless Girls and I am curious to see what you think of it. I personally did like it, actually, I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. It is a difficult read in terms of the subject at times, so a little heads up in that regard. Anyways, I hope soon to pick up Little Thieves which is a book following a thief who steals nobility who is the goddaughter of death and fortune. It seems very folkloric in the way it is written, and it is giving Starless Sea vibes for some weird reason, but The Starless Sea is one of my favourite books so I am very much looking forward to reading this.

[@Darrkness]

The Deathless Girls sounds really good and looks beautiful!

Ive almost finished the audio book for spin the dawn & im LOVING it! Theres the road trip trope which i wasnt expecting since it was pitched as mulan meets project runway. But also as im getting towards the end im scared its going to rip my heart out!! Ill be immediately diving into book 2 😁
