My every day life has me at a 4-5. I deal with chronic migraines, endometriosis, and fibromyalgia. I appreciate you mentioning your pain and the fact that you're dealing with it even if there are times you're jealous of others or angry because that is my reality and I certainly don't see it represented or understood enough. I'm really loving the readathon and am about to go walk my dogs and listen to an audiobook.

[@dakotadenali]

i also have fibro and endo and I've never met anybody who has to deal with both of them like me - so I just wanted to say : hi, I feel u very much, it really sucks 😓 to be honest, I always seem to "forget" that these illnesses can be really disabling and I am constantly comparing myself with fully healthy people. your comment made me realize how mean I am sometimes to myself and I think we should all be much more gentle on us - especially when we deal with mental / physical disabilities. so thank u for your comment, I hope you are doing well! ✨

[@BookRoast]

We're many things, but we're not alone even if most of the time feels like it 💜

[@adrafinnie4614]

I feel for you I’m dealing with the same things as u minus the endometriosis since I took care of that with a surgery and the 4-5 since my fibromyalgia and chronic migraines are so bad that I’m unable to work.

[@adrafinnie4614]

Ok 4-5 scale not work I blame on my fibro brain which everything doesn’t make sense I kind of threw the pain scale out the window because a lot of time my pain goes from 5-13 and it depends on the time of day how much pain I’m in what makes it worse is that I’m immune to pain meds because I’ve been living with this for 33 years

[@Books.tea.and.fantasy]

🍜 This vlog was so chill. I don’t know what it is but I love seeing random hauls and little snippets of everyday life. These videos feel like a warm hug 🥰

[@BookRoast]

I love them too!

[@vanessabonilla8339]

Thank you for doing the readathon vlogs G, such a cozy one! 🤍 Love the hauls, especially those wall decoration things and the chest! 🍜

[@BookRoast]

Thank you for hanging out with meee 🥰

[@adrafinnie4614]

This is a great readathon you have done an amazing 🤩 job. I’m Lowkey taking part and am enjoying everything that has been put out on the readathon on all social media. The library 📚 and the quests are a lot of fun. You’ve been a busy beaver this week. I’m sorry you’ve had such a painful 😣 week your a trooper you got this

[@gracie9658]

I love long chill vlogs 🍜

[@marta.r.correia]

Your home is becoming more and more a magical place 🤩 What a great start to the readathon!! My first and only finished book so far is Upgrade - and I really really liked it 😁🖤🍜

[@leftoclock]

36:37 “I just don’t have thoughts” lmao me neither 😂. I used to use twitter, then I adult and stopped knowing how to use it pffff 😂. I love to see what other people gets at grocery shopping, it gives me ideas and don’t know, just find it interesting haha. I also take a look at other’s while I queue at the checkout 👀. But not in a creepy way!! 😂 🍜💜✨

[@BookRoast]

hahaha spying on them shopping carts 👀

[@melissarosereads8796]

I really love these long chill vlogs!

[@happy2bits]

🍜 aww! I missed your weekly vlogs so much. I always used to look forward to them so much every week. But I also understand that your health comes first and it’s more difficult. I understand the pain as I’m am a migraine sufferer as well and it so hard to do much when when the pain just lingers! On the plus side every blog is a reason to celebrate!

[@BookRoast]

Aw thank you! I might not be able to bring them back full swing but they will be here every Monday in August at least! 🥰

[@Jesse.Walkinshaw]

the gold lion things are called corbels and their a projection jutting out from a wall to support a structure above it. i.e; fireplaces, shelves and sometimes on ceilings in corners as accents :) but you can obviously use them as you wish :)

[@BookRoast]

Oooh yes, I was wondering what the name of them was, thank you!!

[@amberc.7132]

I love food hauls and shopping hauls always! So grateful for you and all your videos! 🍜

[@BookRoast]

Yay! Thank you! So do I, I find them mundane but so interesting somehow? 😅

[@amberc.7132]

@@BookRoast same! Especially when the person lives in a different country and you get to see all the different items, or an item you know, just packaged differently lol. 😁

[@BethWade]

I love the decor! Your place is becoming a manor house. :) I love this idea of wall sconce with pillar candles on it. And YAS a chest that looks like old timey luggage! I love it. Dang, this haul is making me wish I had a house so I could theme rooms and decorate them. As a fellow lover of PB ice cream, I love that you tossed pretzels in there. *Brilliant*

[@BookRoast]

If ya gots pretzels, why not toss pretzels ya know? hahah

[@bethmetcalf3447]

I have constant pain as well and because of my pain I live on a disability pension. On the pain scale most of the time my pain is the same about a 4-5 (I’ve been able to bring that down to where it is now because I no longer work. When I worked it was always at an 8 or higher. That doesn’t mean that I can function better because my pain has gone down because it’s still constant pain). The problem is, it’s constant; there’s no break from it at all. I’ve had it since I was 26 ( it was caused at worked) and I’ve turned 50 this year. That’s a lot of years to be in constant pain, especially when I worked for 17 of those years. The last two years, every morning I would sit on the side of the bath after I’d had a shower and just cry. Then after I talked myself in to moving (because I had separated from my husband by then and had no choice but to work) I would get ready & go to work. People don’t understand unless they’re going through something similar. Anyway what I want you to know is that you’re not alone, I & others do understand. I think you’re an amazingly strong & beautiful young woman. I’m afraid there will always be hard days and there will always be good days. Just remember to listen to your body and what ever it needs, whatever you need to get through your day then do it. God bless you✝️🥰

[@BookRoast]

I'm so sorry you're always in pain also, it's a very hard and tiring thing to deal with 💜

[@judithcakelover]

🍜Loved the all day long sprints ❤️ and so happy you read 3 books

[@BookRoast]

Ah G, I've missed your vlogs my love. Also, your outfit that you went shopping in, chefs kiss, gorgeous 😍❤️

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!!

[@diddystar1]

🍜 such a cozy vlog 🧡

[@TCLinda]

Haha "I'm going for a theme, and the theme is a dungeon" I love this! Hope it all works out. I loved Cemetery Boys. It was so sweet and spooky.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@kindelglamser8455]

🍜 while I like all of your content and have asleep of glee when I see you have posted a video, this is my favorite kind! Thank you so much for all the time you spend creating.

[@BookRoast]

Aw thank you so much! 🥰

[@zoipappabeatha]

I loved cemetery boys! Wonderful vlog! 🍜

[@BookRoast]

It's a fun book!

[@isabel_p]

I really need to read Cemetery Boys. Thank you for vlogging this week I always love your vlogs so much! 🍜🍜

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much, so glad you like them 💜

[@lindsaylexii]

Can we all just acknowledge how good G's makeup and hair skills are? 😻 My favorite was the hair with half bun half down hair and also makeup in the same day with the dots under eyes - ADORABLE!!! Also I'm LIVING for these long vlogs, I was so sad when I finished watching because it ended, haha! Hope you are doing great! One question - will there be open spots for Moon Messengers for Patreon? 🤍 Also 🍝.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!! That's so kind! I definitely don't see myself as very skilled in make up at all so this is just really nice of you to say 😅💜

[@Caro_b]

I always love seeing a grocery haul - especially with cats involved 😺 Glad to hear that you had a good time reading Cemetery Boys! 🥰 Thank you for this cozy vlog, it cheered me up ❤

[@BookRoast]

Cats are involved in everything 😅

[@elenajimenez]

OMG! Witch! I grew up reading that too! My favorite was Irma. I feel so seen hahaha

[@BookRoast]

I love Irma too!!

[@kittygbooks]

🍜 loved watching your week! Glad you’ve had a good one and thanks for taking us along :)

[@PaulinaSanchez]

I'm definitely biased about Cemetery Boys because it's probably one of the first times I see my culture depicted in that way in a book. It was wholesome and I just loved that. It definitely got to me

[@BookRoast]

Really glad to hear it was represented well too!

[@JenMSc]

🍜 this was a nice time just hanging out. 🥰 And now I want noodles...

[@BookRoast]

Not gonna lie, had noodles again last night haha

[@nathicorn3046]

🍜! and also: I really enjoyed the food haul 😁

[@MoneBoomx3]

Love it! Love the booktalk and the shopping hauls ☺️🍜

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@khsmiles]

I am halfway through my first book for the readathon. I haven't had the mental energy to read or do anything really but survive life for the past few days. I plan on reading a chapter before bed and maybe I can get out of this mini-slump. I always enjoy your vlogs. They are so chill. I like the variety. It is not just about reading. 🍜🍜

[@BookRoast]

I can absolutely relate to that, and surviving takes a loot of effort! Listen to what your body needs, everything else is just a backseat matter 💜

[@martinaschlagl3882]

This was such a chill vlog! Loved seeing all these little snippets of your week 💕

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!!

🍲 Thanks for another super chill vlog.

[@BookRoast]

Thank YOU 🥹

[@samreadsbooks_13]

I definitely relate to the chronic pain and migraines. I literally don't know what it's like to not be in pain.. I loved Cemetery Boys. It was so cute

[@BookRoast]

Honestly! Some times there's like one minute where I can't feel pain and it's soooo weird? Like do people just live like that??? haha

[@childofnyx1]

if things sit on top of your DRY skin, you're using the wrong type of product. Moisturizers and stuff use either moisture to nourish or lipids (oils and stuff), research which products have which and try them out. That's how the 'sitting on top of your skin' feeling stops. E.g. I can't use any moisture based creams, they will slide right off xD but facial oils work wonders for me :)

[@BookRoast]

ooh good to know!

[@RTLogan-dz5ep]

🍜 I loved this vlog! The home bits you brought were so cool 😊💜

I also read Cemetary Boys the first week of August! I gave it 4.25-ish. The writing style was basic for me and I personally cannot stand writing that describes people's clothes (I don't care. Reminds me of fanfic. But this does not include the binder because that WAS important to bring up and mention) and it did that a few times.

[@MarinaUz]

Ooomg the green chest and the lion heads are so cooool 😍 I also really enjoyed Cemetery boys when I read it! Thank you for the chill vlog ❤️🍜

[@BookRoast]

Those finds were so goood!!!

[@Toneh9]

🍜 I enjoyed this vlog, as I do with them all 😁 I'd totally be up to buying wonky bookmarks btw, if the printer doesn't take them back 😊

Glad you got some reading done! And I’m VERY jealous of that green velvet chest. So cool. 🍜

[@BookRoast]

I treasure it so much 🥁😅

[@cassiepowell5813]

I’m loving the readathon. I’ve read 3 books so far 🥳. Thanks for all the work you do to make it happen. Also for those wall mounts you had, if you want to put candles on them still you can get those electronic candles. Maybe get some Velcro or double sided tape to make them stay on. They look really pretty by the way.

[@BookRoast]

So glad it's going well so far!

[@kateadale7100]

Totally feel you with your skin mine is exactly the same it doesn't absorb anything. So might try thst mask from body shop see if it works for me

[@butzichen]

🍜 Thanks for taking the time to vlog, it's always so calming and relaxing, but also funny, to watch your videos. I hope your reading pace stays good, I'm three books into my tbr as well☺

[@BookRoast]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@luciesouvenir9481]

🍜I'm glad you had a good time with those first reads ! I read Cemetery Boys last year and quite enjoyed it, gave it 3.5 stars cause I found it a little too predictable, but I really liked the characters and the atmosphere. I loved the haul ! You found beautiful items 🧡

[@BookRoast]

I can totally see that!! It just really hit right for me, I think I needed a fun easy fantasy so good timing but agree it’s definitely not given me many plot twists I didn’t see coming from the very start 😂💖

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

I also managed 3 books in the first week but they were all super short. :D I really enjoyed Cemetery Boys when it came out, my rating was very similar to yours. Happy reading in week 2! 🍜

[@BookRoast]

Nicely done!

[@Wndrlnd9]

Man I loved w.i.t.c.h. as a kid! This vlog was so relaxing and an enjoyable watch! 🍜🍜🍜

[@BookRoast]

[@witchymary5246]

I also read cemetery boys this week, gave it 3,5 Stars bc the plot was a little too standard for me. Also love a good haul 😌

[@BookRoast]

Can totally see that!

🍜I'm kind of tempted to pick up the third book you were reading but I don't want to risk the slump if I don't like it.

This was such a nice vlog to watch in the morning while I get ready for the day 🍜 Also, what is the hair oil you use? I’m always on the look out for more hair stuff. And I’m also fan of bodyshop skin products - I like that they have refillable shower gel and you can’t recycle bottle pumps etc with them

[@BookRoast]

Oh it's a Wella SP Luxe Oil! They rebranded the packaging for the day cream and I thought they cancelled it and panicked so much haha

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

I loved WITCH the TV series gotta get the books 📚

[@BookRoast]

I think I only saw like 1 episode, would be fun to try it

[@PunkyDory80]

Fancy comfy bitch dungeon is a great sounding vibe 🤣 I have to avoid candles too (and scented soaps, etc.), because of my migraines. The only candle that doesn’t bother me is the bath and body works cinnamon and clove. But, then it always smells like Christmas lol 🍜

[@BookRoast]

Cannot have nice smelling things at all, can we haha

[@BookRoast]

hahah I can see that, though I forget a lottttttt

[@Winterknits]

I think a lot of the harshness in the reviews for ‘No One is Talking About This’ is due to all of the prize attention that the book got. It did feel a bit difficult to understand why it was nominated for multiple book prizes when there are many similar books out there that didn’t seem to be considered. Thanks for the vlog, I enjoyed watching 🍜

[@BookRoast]

I agree, I personally wouldn't have nominated this either but still..quite harsh haha

Yes to the foreign language inserts being a pet peeve! I haven't heard anyone talk about it yet. If you happen to know that language, then yes it adds to the experience, but if you don't abd the writer doesn't translate those parts at least roughly, then it is hella annoying and takes you out of the story. Many of us are already reading in our 2nd language when reading in english, don't mix in a 3rd please 😅

[@BookRoast]

I totally understand why some books do it too, it made much more sense here than in some other books I've read, but it definitely still is a pet peeve of mine 😅
