Yes she speaks so eloquently. I love it

[@anggieandarista7796]

That's why I have been watching her since 2018

[@user-kz4vq8co8q]

I love how Rachel was talking about wanting to be a mom!!! The way she spoke about it with confidence and passion! And I honestly admire how she said her biggest dream is to be a mom while I,someone who shares that dream, doesnt want to tell anyone. I love Rachel so much! Best booktuber 💗💗

[@RachelCatherine]

your dreams are important no matter what they are!! your dreams are just as important as anyone else's 🧡

[@madelynnleah23]

My biggest dream is to also be a mom

[@MargaretM.]

Gah! My thoughts exactly! Love to hear someone talking about it. Rachel, that was beautiful. You're gonna be the most amazing mother to your children.

[@mstanforda]

This is my favorite kind of video ! I love seeing what you genuinely want to pick up, it’s so chill 🩵

[@RachelCatherine]

oh that makes me so happy because they're so fun to film!! I'll definitely have to film more in the future!! 💕

[@madybonner8674]

As a stay at home mom to two boys. I loved hearing you talk about how much you want to be a mom. Since I was a little girl I have always told people I wanted to be a mom and so many people looked down on it because it “wasn’t enough” being a mom is the best thing I will ever do in life and hearing you speak about it the same way brought me to tears ❤

[@bea5687_]

The excitement I felt when I heard you say that you can’t wait to be a mom! You are going to be an amazing mom. I hope we get to be a part of that journey ❤

[@RachelCatherine]

you're so kind, thank you 🥹 I hope I can share that journey with you all one day when my time comes! 💗

[@poppycalliope]

Your reading vlogs are the best Rachel 📚💌✨️

[@RachelCatherine]

that makes me so happy 🥹💗

ur literally my home, ily u and ur vids so so so much

crying at this 😭

[@iammehowru]

Just a tip for the anagrams! If you write all the letters in a circle, rather than a line, its easier to see all the possibilities.

[@RachelCatherine]

oooh thank you!! I'll try that next time!!

[@Anna_Ranae]

I absolutely love lessons in chemistry It’s so empowering and I honestly think everyone can take something away from it

[@RachelCatherine]

100%!!

[@brakrozsadku]

I really enjoy how you are engaging with the books you're reading. That you are actually analyze the story and still enjoying it and how natural it is

[@amalzayat]

again, I'm past my bedtime to watch bestie Rachel motivating me to read 🫶🫶🥹🥹😍😍

[@RachelCatherine]

😂💗

[@whitneyhirsch7021]

I loved Summer Romance so much!! It touched something inside of me seeing her come back to life. The tears I cried towards the end.

[@allison.oseguera]

It was truly beautiful to see another girlie be as passionate as I am in being a mother. It has always been a dream of mine to start a family and have little mini mes of me and the person I love! 💕💕

[@RachelCatherine]

how special that will be 🥹💗

[@ShreyaaKhanalMusic]

Who agrees that Rachel's vlogs are literally to DIE FORRRR!!!!!

[@faye13l]

Lessons in Chemistry was my favourite book of all of last year. Absolutely loved it! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too 🩷

[@larimartt]

I'm totally a mood reader so I love this type of videos🩷

[@SamiKaye]

I’m definitely adding Summer Romance to my want to read list! 📚💕

[@yourgirl_miriam]

i think if you enjoyed lessons in chemistry, you would really like the movie Hidden Figures! its such a cool and inspirational movie about 3 women

[@caeli-nubes]

I relate to you so much! I always felt this wish of being a mother, I cannot wait to have children - biological or adopted. There are women that don‘t feel like this and that is completely normal and fine, but some people seem to think that we are all opressed and kids are the end of your life and every mother is unhappy, when many humans in fact do really wish to have a family and that shouldn‘t be looked down on either 🤷🏻‍♀️ so it‘s really refreshing to hear you as a modern woman represent the essence of feminism: to give women the choice ❤

[@jennyrbaker]

That's so true about mood reading. I've loved books that I had previously DNF'D.

[@imogenkate509]

I am looking forward to reading ‘Summer Romance’! It doesn’t seem like something I’d normally read but sounds so beautiful 💕

[@Harley24986]

My biggest goal in life was to be a mom and I am beyond happy that I have been able to do it. Knowing I had the ability to choose that is amazing. 🥰

i randomly picked up summer romance and absolutely fell in love with this book!!! i've never rooted for a divorce more in my life

Aw Rachel you will truly be such an amazing mom❤

[@saushreads]

I just have to say this vlog was so comforting to watch!! So much heart and so much joy for reading 💙

[@vitoriakreutzwerle]

I absolutely adored Lessons in Chemistry!! So happy to see you reading it and feeling all the feelings… this book made me reflect so much about womanhood and the importance of feminism over the years and how much we have conquered!!

[@elyseirwin2587]

Rach, I just bought the first Magnolia parks book because target was having a buy two get one free book deal for circle week. I am excited for it and hope I like it. I got it because you and all your besties love it so much. I can’t wait to start the journey of magnolia parks! Also, I absolutely love all your videos and wanted you to know how much you’ve gotten me into books again and I’m so here for it. Hope you have the best of weeks.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

I had to overcome my apparent aversion to having fun and reading whatever the hell I want, so this vlog is inspiration! Great one!

I don’t think you know how fast I clicked on this video the millisecond I saw it. I love you so much, you make such comforting videos. Very appreciated during this week since I’ve been having some stressful days. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@marigoldkim]

heavy on “comforting videos” 😭

[@RachelCatherine]

sending you all my love!! I hope your days become a bit less stressful soon 🫶🏼

[@Itsjennycamacho]

Rachel, you should listen to the interview that’s included at the end of the audiobook Lessons in Chemistry . The author said she was actually writing a story about Mad but she fell in love with Elizabeth’s character and thus, this book was born. Her interview was so interesting! ❤

[@michcsm]

loved the lessons in chemistry chat! it is true that women nowadays are empowered to be career-driven but the sad reality is that women in STEM and academia specifically are still not given the same opportunities or respect as men do :((

[@AnnaRak423]

Lessons in Chemistry was one of my favourite books last year! I loved her writing style, it really spoke to me and I agree, I could have easily read much more. Thanks for the video! ☺

[@chelseyjohnson501]

The lessons in chemistry show was also really well done

[@RachelCatherine]

I watched the trailer and it looks incredible!!!

[@marth5326]

i'm so happy you liked 'where sleeping girls lie', i'm like the author's number one fan!! she actually recently brought out another book that is a collab with the author adiba jaigirdar. it's called 'four eids and a funeral' and it's a cute ya romance!!!

[@fallonturner7441]

I loved Lessons in Chemistry and 6.30, one of my favourite books of last year. ❤ Glad you enjoyed it!

[@megk2653]

I recently watched the tv show based on lessons in chemistry and then I immediately bought he book, can’t wait to read it!❤️

[@melissar.7802]

You’re so pretty 😍! I also love your « rich » accent ☺️

[@laurene3712]

Love the reading vlog! Rach, please could we have more crochet chats/content too? ❤😊

[@sydneypryor5117]

im SO PROUD of you for being open about your aspiration to be a mother!! i’m so glad women have options nowadays but unfortunately we’ve kinda swung the other way where its somewhat frowned upon to want to be a mother. cant wait for the day that dream comes true for you ❤❤❤

[@caeli-nubes]

Yes, I really see that too! I understand that it is a result of the fight that had to be fought for our freedom, but it is time to find a balance, where every woman can chose a career, a family or a career AND a family! And all choices are right 🥰

[@tiareed970]

I love that your goal in life and biggest dream is to be a mother!!

[@EbbaRose11]

I feel like no one is talking about Sarah Morgans books but I read The Summer Seekers and loved it! I'm currently reading The Summer Swap and really liking it so far. A lot of character growth and in both books we follow three different generations. Highly recommend! ❤

[@dewereldheerser]

I love Sarah Morgan too! One summer on paris was one of my favorites, but I also read it while being in Paris so that made it even better 😂

[@theinstabookworm6428]

OK, now I REALLY want to read Summer Romance!

[@jocielle]

Hey Rach! Can you share your thoughts on the Kindle and Kobo? Currently a kindle girly but the kobo looks soooo nice 👀

[@prerza]

I see lessons in chemistry in the thumbnail omg omg omg

[@athenaminerva9928]

No hate, I just don’t understand why people says they love a book so much and and not give it five stars 😂.

[@Jennandtonix]

Agreed. I feel like it’s a weird Booktuber thing

[@anikab3697]

I think it’s a thing that you can love a book und really enjoy your time with it but a 5 Star ist just more, the book should stick with you and be something you think about over and over again (the book is like life changing in a way) But this is maybe different for everyone like their rating system

[@sharonlovesbooks]

I ordered a copy of Where the Sleeping Girls Lie after watching your video ☺

[@julianesg860]

I enjoy your videos so so much 💖

[@mktrueman]

Would loooove your thoughts on the Kobo and library integration!

[@laures_art_]

There is a TV adaptation of lessons in chemistry, and the show is soooo good!!! I recommend ;))❤

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great video Rachel!

[@themodernbookwoman]

I love Annabel's books! Def read her other 2! I loved Lessons in Chemistry. Not from the 60s, but as a woman born in the early 80s, I still faced a lot of resistance as a woman in the workforce. Lots of belittling, condescension, jumping thru hoops. I also loved the FMC bc she felt neurodivergent and I could relate to that and loved the representation. Great vlog! I 💯 mood read for better reading enjoyment!

[@RachelCatherine]

So sad to hear that you gave faced resistance and negativity in your career -- I'm so thankful that you & others like you continue to make it more normal for women to follow their dreams even if those dreams are in male dominated workplaces!!

[@themodernbookwoman]

@RachelCatherine thank you. 😊 btw, I'm also a mom of 5 kids. And now, a single, working mom (also running a channel on the side 🤪) and yes, it is hard! But like you, I ALWAYS wanted to be a mom, and I wouldn't give that up for anything! 💯 worth the hard and by far the best decision I ever made. ❤️

[@Dkg260]

I’ve never clicked on a video faster in my life ❤❤

[@kellyhennessy9064]

Love your videos they are so comforting. Whenever I see a new video in my subscription box from you, I get excited. But I want to know what brand is your wireless earphones?

[@ariazsilentsoul]

🫶🏻 watching your vlogs- the cozy little reset of my day! I know you were looking for book recs a while back for books that have a flower/plant element to them. Have you heard of A Botanist’s Guide to Parties and Poison by Kate Khavari. It’s the first book in a mystery series set in 1923 London. The FMC is a botanist at a university who loves plants. The book follows her trying to clear the name of the professor she works under when he is accused of poisoning a fellow professor’s wife. She teams up with a fellow coworker who specializes in bacteria.

[@LottieSmalley]

yay!! so glad to see you read & love lessons in chemistry🧪 six-thirty is so iconic 🐾 would love to see some vlog clips of your reaction to the tv show on appletv too if you decide to watch the series!!!🫶

[@dayla_arnold]

Reading tress of the emerald sea or any of the other secret projects by Brandon Sanderson on the Kobo color must be unreal because of the art. The art would be full color. Like .. wow.

[@sonyajordan8597]

Annabel Monaghan other book Nora goes off script seems quite similar in plot points and i get exactly what you mean about her writing. I would suggest waiting a while before reading the others cause it may just feel like the same thing again…

[@hannasmith794]

I loved Lessons in Chemistry, this woman would’ve been me back then. I’m an engineer and women like her made my life easier today. I’m also a mum and whilst we still have a way to go in some ways, I get to be a working mother who loves my career and my daughter

[@RachelCatherine]

exactly!! soooo thankful for women like Elizabeth to make it possible for women today to follow career goals AND motherhood!!

[@bananaab3]

Would you say Summer Romance is good for a book club?

[@user-eq6ml6yh6q]

I like DVDs like the wiggles and the hooley dooleys and hairy maclary and play school

[@zecorah]

Lessons in Chemistry - now use that frustration for the women in 2024 competing in their chosen sport after training and dedicating their lives and counting on scholarships and career goals. Food for thought for some people.

I felt the same about summer romance! I wasn’t hooked by the premise at first but quickly found myself loving it and wanting to read more 🩷✨
