Hi Liv I have been crocheting since I was about 10 years old. I have made 60 Afghans - 2 - 60 Inch Round Pineapple Stitch Tablecloths - Made A Sweater - Made Slippers - Made Mittens - Made Hats - Made Doilies. If you get the Basic Crochet Stitches down than you can make anything. My favorite Crochet Stitch is the Double Crochet. Right now I am making a Blanket - The Yarn I am using is Caron Brand - The color is called Baby Rainbow. I am using Double Crochet Stitch which is real easy to do. The Two Best Yarn Brands to use is Caron and Red Heart. The two best Crochet Hooks to use is G & H unless you are making something Specific. I taught myself to Crochet from a Little Green Book which is a How To Crochet - Knit - Tatting from Harvey’s Dime Store in my town when I was like 10 years old. I mastered all of the Crochet Stitches the same night I bought the book. There are tons of You Tube Videos out there on Crochet and Knitting both. I Crochet at Night when I am too tired to stitch or Read. The Books you talk about sounds good. I hope that you will enjoy them. I am still reading Crepe Factor by Laura Childs. I am almost done with this book. I have a few chapters left to read. Take Care & Happy Reading - Crocheting ❤️🤗✂️🧶🔰❤️

[@livslibrary]

That’s amazing that you’ve crocheted so many things! I hope to find more time soon to dive into it more. 😍 I’ve also heard lots of great things about Laura Childs! I hope you enjoy. 🩷

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

@@livslibrary - Laura Childs is one of my all time favorite Authors. I have read quite a few books of hers already. Crocheting is fun and pretty easy to do. It’s so enjoyable to sit down like in the evenings and crochet without having to concentrate too much on it. I love to Crochet.

[@cortneyokeefe8833]

I'm currently reading Remarkably Bright Creatures & I agree that you should just take your time enjoying it. It's lovely.

[@livslibrary]

I can’t wait! 🤍

[@Vivsbooks]

Remarkably bright creatures sound very intriguing and the cover defiantly gives summer vibes, I might have to put it on my (already too long) tbr 👀

[@kayk1686]

Excited for dreadful and cozy mysteries as well!💜💜💜💜

[@gabbingaboutbooks]

I’ve been in a summer cozy mystery mood lately as well!!! Currently reading Live and Let Chai!

[@livslibrary]

I loved that one so much! They’re just so easy to fly through!

[@MLLatUtube]

Pride and Prejudice is a great book! I hope you love it too. I also have preordered A Novel Love Story and The Summer of Yes, and hope to enjoy them this summer. Remarkably Bright Creatures is a favorite of mine from 2023, and the parts that are from the viewpoint of Marcellus the octopus are wonderful. The Wishing Game was another favorite and I am looking forward to The Lost Story. I also look forward to reading Dreadful soon. Have a lovely reading summer!

[@livslibrary]

I love how our reading taste aligns so perfectly! 👏🏻

[@shawnamonroe]

Remarkably Bright Creatures will sneak up on you and make you love it!

[@troncatch]

You've got a lot of great selections lined up. I am also super excited for Middle of the Night and A Novel Love Story. On the other hand, Into the Drowning Deep is one of the worst books I have ever read. Ever. And it's soooooo long. I would never tell someone not to read a book, but I would say if you're halfway through it and you're not enjoying it, just stop because it doesn't get any better. Happy reading.😊

[@livslibrary]

Oh no, I hate that you didn’t love it! I’m hoping to at least give it a chance but I know it’s more like a documentary so we shall see. 😅

[@allbookedup755]

[@livslibrary]

@@allbookedup755 I actually haven’t been reading them as much recently, so I don’t think I have any thing new to share!

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I've got The Paradise Problem checked out from the library right now, so I'll get to it in the next week or so. Looking forward to it. I've heard such good things about the Courtney Walsh book!

[@livslibrary]

Courtney Walsh is always amazing! 💛

[@stephanieavedisian7276]

Hi Liv… Tide and Punishment is actually book 3 in the series. I started book 2 yesterday… No Good Tea Goes Unpunished ❤

[@livslibrary]

Oh ooops. 😂 I do have the second, just must have pulled the wrong one for this video! Thank you!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I have an earc of the paradise problem! It seems like such a summery read!!

[@livslibrary]

The vibes sound amazing! 🏝️

[@katelendley128]

I am halfway through - The Paradise Problem - and I am loving it.

[@livslibrary]

Ahhhhh yay! 🎉

[@shawnamonroe]

My entire book club enjoyed Smile Beach Murder last summer

[@livslibrary]

I love when that happens! 👏🏻

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Me watching this video even though it’s winter for me where I am in NZ 🤣 loved this video 🥰🥹

[@livslibrary]

Hahaha, well thank you for taking the time to watch! Hopefully you can keep these recommendations in your back pocket for when it’s warmer. Also, I’ve always wanted to visit NZ! 🥹

[@tierajade]

Love your rainbow sweater! 😍 I was disappointed by Middle of the Night. 💔 I'm dying to read the new Stuart Turton book too! 😃 P&P Readathon was so fun! 🎉 You're on the cover of The Royals Next Door!!! 😃 I chose The Lost Story for my BOTM and can't wait to get to it! I LOVED Into the Drowning Deep - gave it 5☆s!!! Daughter of the Siren Queen was also enjoyable! 🧜‍♂️ 🧜‍♀️ Adventures of Amina was another 5☆ for me! 💖

[@bobbyshields4810]

I really enjoy your videos. I live hearing about books on your TBR that aren't books mentioned over and over by so many others.

[@livslibrary]

I’m so glad! I agree though, I’m tired of seeing the same authors literally EVERYWHERE. 🤭

[@lauraa1345]

Meg Shaffer's New book really intrigues me! I'm definitely gonna get it after reading The Wishing Game😊

[@livslibrary]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@MollytheReader]

Ooh now I am in a pirate mood - to read and to watch! Awesome TBR Liv 💕

[@livslibrary]

You’re welcome. 🤭🤭🤭

[@lauraa1345]

The Daughter of the Pirate King duology is also a series I finally wanna pick up this summer🤩

[@livslibrary]

Please do! We’ll have to update each other on our thoughts. 👏🏻 You definitely should! I’m 35% through & loving it!

Hope you enjoy your summer reads. 🌈🥤🍄🍉🍓📚🧋🫐🍨🤠😎🌄

[@faithsreadingthings]

Also I just added dreadful to my TBR and I’m so excited to giggle through it lol

[@livslibrary]

I just know it’s going to be amazing! 😍👏🏻

[@cozybookvibes]

​@@livslibrary it is amazing. I've been in the worst reading slump of my life but I still managed to fly through that book. It's exactly what I've been waiting for since reading Assistant to the Villain.

[@angiemettler8770]

I’m also learning how to crochet this summer :-)

[@livslibrary]

I love that so much! 😍

[@bookswithamymarie]

Congratulations on your sponsorship! 💜 I have been dying to get to Smile Beach Murder.

[@livslibrary]

Thank you! I haven’t done one in a hot minute but skillshare is so versatile, I love it! 🫶🏻

The Summer of Yes is a yes for me 😂❤

[@livslibrary]

Love that for you! 👏🏻

[@booktime90_]

I'm excited to try so many of these! But specifically The Last Murder At the End of the World, and also Smile Beach Murder :)

It’ll be my first book by him so I hope I love it! You’ll have to keep me updated when you read it. 🤗

[@danieleigh6468]

Love it! I love your hair!

[@livslibrary]

Thank you, friend! 💛

[@tlovesreading]

I love a Liv TBR and book recommendation video!! I'm reading Live & Let Chai soon after hearing so many good reviews!! I have never read a Riley Sager (can we still be friends?! 😬) I liked The Night Swim so much!! Super excited for the Pride and Prejudice readathon!!!!! I'm also going to read Ashley Poston's new book for the readathon. I LOVE HER BOOKS! ALL THE STARS! This Summer Will Be Different is my fav Carley Fortune book and it even has several tropes that aren't my fav. It was just done so well imo. I was hesitant about Remarkably Bright Creatures and adored it so much. I have so many books I want to read this summer but I also need to fit in CC 1-3. sorry this was a lot of rambling. LOL

[@livslibrary]

I love the ramblings! Haha 🫶🏻 You definitely need to read a Riley book though, literally top tier!

[@hadarfeldman1785]

love you forever for this amazing recs! thank u liv

[@livslibrary]

Love you for being here! 🫶🏻

[@jeanninethompson6243]

Love the summer vibes. It’s in the 80s today and feeling all summery

[@livslibrary]

That sounds perfect! I’ve been enjoying all the sunshine & reading on my back patio lately. ☀️

[@Lillyjoy]

I read the Wishing Game recently and also want to read her new book! I actually was hoping we’d get a sequel because I just loved the way The Wishing Game ended and would love to see what they do next but I did feel like it wrapped up to where it doesn’t need a sequel. Have you read the graphic novel called Tidesong? It was giving me studio ghibli vibes and the scenery and setting is so perfect to read during summer 😊

[@livslibrary]

Ahhhh yes, I love Tidesong! I read it a couple years ago. 🥰

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

Remarkably Bright Creatures was a 5 star for me. If you have access to the audio version of this book, I highly recommend it. Marcellus (the octopus) has an extremely entertaining voice. Enjoy!

[@livslibrary]

Ooooh good to know! I love a good narrator. 🤗

I'm reading the last murder at the end of the world right now and it's pretty good so far 👍 its being narrated by an AI character which is kind of hard for me to understand but it's interesting

[@livslibrary]

Interesting! I’m listening to the audio & I’m not a huge fan, so it may take me while to get through it. 🫣

[@chelseyjohnson501]

@livslibrary same. I'm not a huge fan of the man who speaking cause it seems like most of the main characters are women
