Something that brings me joy: Each time you held a book, you flipped through the pages, but ONLY if it was a book you liked. Why is that the cutest?!

[@battybean]

omg i didn’t even realize that!🥹

[@sofiasoto6432]

Love the Library decor, organization, & honest views on your collection. It sparks joy seeing other people enjoy books & a kindness to donate / exchange books to those free community libraries too; instead of just trashing them.

[@battybean]

Omg I can’t imagine trashing them?! That’s so wasteful

[@sofiasoto6432]

​@@battybeanI feel the same way, but I've seen it happen. It crushes me when I see people throw away books too, for whatever reasons.

[@darciedressman802]

I seriously am OBSESSED with your closet library! I want this and your beauty room so badly! Love the style and decor I feel the coziness

[@Sharischreiber451]

I love that wig. That cut/style looks fabulous on you! Hey Betty Jean ,,,,,I passed my Florida State Insurance License boards today!!!!! Youve been with me through many a study session! lol! Thanks for the entertaining company! You're still so wonderful!!!!

Happy birthday month!! I enjoyed the Vlogs. I always visit my little libraries around my town as you never know what treasures you will find and hopefully some one loves the ones that I leave behind, Great way of sharing books. 😘💜📚

[@battybean]

it’s so cute!🥹

[@ashleygutkowski9999]

I will never get over how fast you read lol I’m envious of that. Your collection is amazing after just starting to read again a year ago 😍

[@BethBelle3]

July just means we are so much closer to Halloween (🎃 decor hunting, and decorating!) loved how you organized your little library. I just decluttered so many books too lol. 📚🐈‍⬛🐈

[@battybean]

yesss! so many stores already have stuff!

[@ScrappinJenny7]

What an amazing library book collection you have, I would love to see a room tour of your makeup room. I am always wanting to see all the cat art and things you have, as I love cats too! lol your cats obviously love the meow box coming in, it’s like us humans when we get packages. Tfs hugs Jen 🐈🐱😸😽😼😻

[@battybean]

I’ve done one on my channel already a couple years ago! Not much has changed other than a little reorganization a few vlogs back🖤

[@ScrappinJenny7]

@battybean every time I watch your videos I just love the cat art work in the background 😍

[@leyniea2706]

Your book nook is so cute! Thanks for sharing it with us. 🤗

[@brittnicbee]

I just love looking at book collections! I only read fantasy, sci fi and the occasional general fiction book. I have sooo many books, a lot in storage totes because I just don't have room anymore. I've never bought or rented from the library a book I didn't like (i'm pretty good at being able to tell by skimming some pages) so I keep everything and have been out of room for years. I need to purge too but I just love my books! No book clubs for me because I know I would be disappointed with most of the books but a lot of those fairy loot books are SO pretty. It's tempting but I have to tell myself no 😂 Pretty collection Betty Jean! 😊

[@battybean]

I get so tempted by the fairy loot stuff too😂

[@christinemehnert6772]

I love your videos. Love books too. And your fur babies are so precious. ❤

[@zeldatwinkletoes5022]

Onyx and Ivory is a great book that was in the first Little Library. I'm going to read the Caraval book this month too.

[@battybean]

I’ll have to write that down for the future 😁

[@molly3460]

You have inspired me to check out my local little free libraries! What a cute concept ❤️

[@battybean]

it’s so fun!🥹 i need to go again (probably a few more times) to see them all!

[@alyssaguglietti7501]

I just finished Finlay Donovan is killing it! It was so good!!!!!! I’m currently reading the second one

[@battybean]

Ahh that makes me excited!

[@vanessas_library9386]

Happy Birthday month! I can not wait to see your vlogs in NY. Free little libraries are such a good idea! I only found out about them about 3 years ago, and I started to donate to one near my apartment because it's always empty.

[@battybean]

i hope they can get more hype & engagement from people! it’s so cute🥹

[@effrayechilde1363]

So watching you reorganize your books. I am currently reading The Irregular Society of Witches.

Encyclopedia of Fairies- I have a hard time DNFing, but I am not opposed to “fast forwarding”. I did so with that book but not need to read more books (I think there is a second book).

[@shannonhochman5152]

Happy Birthday Month! Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating! Can't wait to see your adventures in NY. Love the hair refresh and I gotta know about your black frame glasses. Do you have the name and where you got them from? I've been wanting a pair like that. Your library looks great and how fun were those little neighborhood libraries! I wanna find some near me now. 😻📚

Good morning Batty happy Tuesday morning and great video and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@moriganna67ify]

I have a tiny huggable owl who is a doctor. Can't see his chest because I got weird. 😂 I love Boxycharm. Their masks set did not fit, so I use one with a gold lip is my eye sleepy mask over the eyes. So weird is here. I put a white Boxycharm mask with lips all over, and thought, hmm...' it would make a great thing for Doctor Owl for a coat. I put it on him as a joke on my beauty fridge next to my makeup brushes on my vanity. 😂 I love reading but always fall asleep with it, and my love will tuck me in and slip a new guy to add to my stuffies on my bed like an army of Kuromi from Hello Kitty. 😂 also huggable, Squishmallows.😅😊❤

I always sub potatoes and black beans for any meat at taco bell 😂

I wish I had room for my growing collection. 😢 I have a small bookshelf in my closet.. but I'm out of room. I gotta try to maneuver something 😅😅😅

There's a BBC show of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder that came out yesterday on the first! Idk when it will start streaming for us Americans, but the author is one of the executive producers so it will likely be pretty good

Hi!! I sent you the book and I hope you enjoy it!!

[@battybean]

Thanks again so much! That was so thoughtful!🖤

[@aprimello]

I'm a fantasy book lover, so I really enjoyed Caraval. The other 2 books in the trilogy were a letdown for me and I didn't feel compelled to continue on in that world or whatever the next books are by the author. I loved A Broken Blade and A Shadow Crown-- totally didn't know book #3 was out, but thanks to your vlog I gotta go read it now!! 🥰 I think these books will be hits, but only if you're into fantasy. 😅

[@battybean]

Just finished caraval today & loved it!

I love seeing your book collection! I'm a newer subscriber and love reading. I can't say I read as much you do though. This makes me regret giving away some of my favorite books. I have a small space and my apartment has been taken over by TBR books 🤦🏻‍♀️ I love reading physical books, but I'm thinking of finally getting a kindle on prime day. Any recommendations? Reading on my ipad just doesn't cut it! Thank you Your little free libraries are so cute! I only have one that's walkable for me. So excited you're coming to NY for your flirty 30! 🎉 📖 😻

[@sofiasoto6432]

Reading Recommendations: * Tatiana de Rosnay - Sarah's Key * Ian McEwan - Atonement * Kelley Armstrong - Otherworld Series * Deborah Harkness - All Souls Series * Lauren Blakely - Fighting Fire Series * Linda Howard - Open Season * Tess Gerritsen - Rizzoli & Isles Series * Karin Slaughter - Grant County Series & Will Trent Series

[@battybean]

I acquired a paperwhite from a friend and I love it!! It’s perfect for me for the books that I want to read but don’t necessarily need to own physical (plus being able to read ebooks through the Libby app helps support the libraries!)🖤 I post reading wrap up/grwm videos every month where I chat about everything I read the previous month! That might help give you book recs too🖤
