-Hey, y’all 👋🏼 Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out this week’s weekly vlog! This week I take y'all along for my week as I'm also currently reading and filming two separate reading vlogs. There's some bookish unboxings, a mini haul, a scary movie morning, and all of a sudden Texas believes in winter. ❄️ Make sure you drink your water, be kind, and have a good day on purpose! 🫶🏻

You are my comfort person. There is something so soothing about you and your videos. If I ever can’t sleep at night bc of bad anxiety, I’ll fall asleep to one of your vids ❤

Honestly I love the long vlogs and I’d watch them happily even if they were six hours😂 I usually watch at 2x speed because that’s what my brain likes and sometimes I break it up into a few watch sessions but I love it

Love the long vlogs! None of my “real life” friends are super bookish and these make me feel like you’re my bookish bestie. Here I am minding my own business, doing stuff around the house, when I get a Patreon notification and…put everything on hold, time to grab coffee with my friend for 1.5 hours 🤌

I absolutely love the long vlogs. I prefer watching/listening to longer content when I am working, I don't get as distracted as when I have to constantly find something new to listen to/watch. Plus the vibes are great, you're one of my comfort people to watch (hope that's not weird lol)

[@mcflylover890]

I subscribed recently and these vlogs are EXACTLY the reason why. The movie length vlogs, your wit is perfection, and i 100% agree with the reading vlogs - i always find myself forwarding opinions on books, i just wanna watch you making coffee and chatting about life

Yes, I totally agree, when im in a slump, I love watching reading vlogs. I love watching your videos so much it just makes my day so much better. Just started watching you not to long ago and I'm lovin' thr vibes here ❤

[@ghoulhoney]

I’ve been a silent (sadly!) watcher for years now, like back when you still lived with your mom and were in school and stuff, and I just have to say what a delight it’s been to watch you and your content grow and thrive and just get better and better! You are seriously such a comfort creator to me and I can confidently say I will watch whatever you decide to share with us, even if it’s like 8 hours long! 😂🖤 love hanging out with you on here, and can’t wait to see you thrive for another year. I binge your backlist vids after long days and always look forward to your new content, whatever it may be. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you + that I hope you’re having the best day!! (On purpose!!!!!) 🖤🖤🖤

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Awhhhhh this was such a sweet comment!!! Thank you so so so much! I hope YOU are having the absolute best day on purpose too! 🫶🏻✨

[@aspiring_recluse]

One of the main things that draws me to booktube is reading and loving books as a hobby more than getting information about specific books (though obviously that still happens and I'm not opposed to it). Like I just sort of want to take in the general bookishness and ways that other readers approach reading and incorporate it into their lives. So what you were saying about your intent with the vlogs makes total sense to me. Like if I enjoyed some kind of craft or game as a hobby, I wouldn't only watch people doing specific things I might want to recreate myself. I just enjoy the hobby and like seeing other people enjoy it too. Hopefully that makes sense. I think it also explains how I definitely have creators I follow and whose content I love despite them not having the same reading taste as me at all sometimes

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

I completely understand and agree with you!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I totally understand it!

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Teacher in TN here- we haven't been to school since Thursday Jan 12, and we aren't going back on Monday the 22nd either. The entire state was shut down the past week and the ice is still here

[@lemonmoss]

I just got out of hospital so am a few days late to this upload, so so thrilled that it's a long one! Time to grab a homemade iced coffee and settle down to watch. You inspire me to live my best cosy bookish life

[@amylouisexo]

Girlllll. Please make them longer 😂 I enjoy watching over a day or so. Definitely my comfort channel

[@jamienc907]

I look forward to the long Wednesday vlogs! I watch while I eat lunch and throughout the rest of the work day. You have no idea how much it helps get me through it! I had completely forgotten that I pre-ordered Sanctuary of the Shadow so when it came I was like, wth is this?! I had the same reaction when I read the synopsis though. Oh, circus? That sounds fun!

[@katinic3125]

I love the housewives commentary! Listening to you and monte makes me want to watch but it’s so overwhelming to think about trying to catch up 😂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Thank you! Highly recommend giving in 👀

I really enjoyed All the Light We Cannot See, hope you like it too :) Now I want to read Spells for Forgetting and When the Moon Hatched :) Great video Olivia :)

When the moon hatched is fantastic so far, although I’m only 50 pages in 🫢

[@kaylaklassen4869]

I love long vlogs! And I will listen to anything you wanna take about, for me it’s like a FaceTime chat with a friend I have my headphones in and just listen while I get stuff done around my house! ❤❤

Spells for Forgetting was such a pleasant surprising 5 star read for me. Loved it. And Project Hail Mary - one of my favs of all time!

[@bookswithb2684]

Enjoy your vlogs so much! Watched your last one and immediately binged SLC. Wasn’t even gonna watch this season but on your recommendation….and HOLY F! Thank you!! 😂 I need to catch up on Potomac and Miami.

[@e4mi]

I will be so honest. I will *Never* watch Real House Wives but I love listening to people talk about it. It gives me "normal gossip" vibes where I am learning about something from a friend of a friend LOL. To hear all the goss in a funny summery is 10/10. Also you have convinced me to take the jump and read Project Hail Mary. I thought it was all super serious sci-fi and that scared me. Now that I know the vibes, I am ready to put the hold on my Libby and library copy

[@SashKMarie19]

I love your videos and love that they are so long! I watch the vlog and then sometimes I replay them while I'm reading, I don't know why but I still like having your videos up when I'm doing something else. When I first found your vlogs I wasn't super into reading, but seeing how much you enjoy reading really helped push me to get back into it. 😊

Definitely wouldn't have gone out in that weather either. We are currently having a large amount of snow here in Vancouver BC Canada. Which isn't normal for us as it isn't for Texas. Normal winter weather for us is rain. Which I can handle. So yeah anyone driving here tends to not know what they are doing. Thankfully after today, it is supposed to start raining nonstop for at least the next week. So praying the snow will leave us 🙏🙏🙏🙏
