"you forget to cherish her" im flOORED

[@WhittyNovels]

best line and best show ever

[@briannaash92]

"Exciting development! I showered." Actually me.

[@WhittyNovels]

LOL glad to relate

[@Ghues]

You have such a lovely voice! ㅠㅠ Also, I request more and longer cat video snippets, they are so cute.

[@WhittyNovels]

more cats coming your way

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Honestly just give me 40 minutes of cat content

[@WhittyNovels]

bet

[@KeepCalmwithBooksandCoffee]

Books and cats. I love this brand.

[@samantham3940]

A few thoughts: 1. Rosie is freaking ADORABLE 2. I'm not into ASMR, but I could watch you scrape dirt off your horse for hours 3. The time between graduating from college and getting a job/moving out is a super awkward and depressing time. You have every right to feel like you're in a funk. But please believe me when I say that it will pass before you know it. You probably feel like you've lost your sense of independence and responsibility. However, I encourage you to try and enjoy this period of your life because once it ends, you will never get it back again! 4. You're my favorite KZbinr of all time and please never stop vlogging.

[@WhittyNovels]

thanks friend

[@LavellanBooks]

you're so naturally funny omg

[@WhittyNovels]

that means a lot, thank you c:

[@rimbluebooks]

Asmr rain sounds is great for reading but my lazy ass usually falls asleep 😂

[@WhittyNovels]

oof, that's a mood

[@lausommeils6668]

Regarding Pride and Prejudice, they're kind of both. Elizabeth's pride is hurt when she overhears Darcy saying she isn't that pretty (he used other words, but that's the gist of it) and so she developes prejudice about who he is as a person mostly because he hurt her vanity. And Darcy was raised to believe he was above other people because he's rich and part of his family descends from titled people, so he is prideful and that makes him have prejudices about the less educated/wealthy people. I'm a dork about Pride and Prejudice because honestly my fav romance book ever, I'm a hoe for kind of enemies to lovers trope. And there's a scene in which she basically asks him if he fell for her because she was sassy. I'm super excited of reading that retelling, tbh.

[@WhittyNovels]

hahah well thanks for explaining!! i love the dynamic but it went over my head tbh

[@lausommeils6668]

@@WhittyNovels You're welcome :) I understand, It happened the same with me about some books I've tried to read, this one is mostly because it clicked with me and I've re-read it like 7 times. Maybe you might like The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, is a Pride and Prejudice modern retelling they did with short videos. :)

[@calamitous_l0v3]

8:22 never did I think a horse brushing time lapse was something I needed in my life but now I know it is. Watching you get all the dirt clumps out is so satisfying 🐎🐎🐎

[@ajreads7350]

listening to rain asmr changed the game for me, it helps me focus on reading without getting distracted

[@WhittyNovels]

totally agree!

[@thestory2608]

That's awesome that you received so many of the books you requested. I love that you ended this vlog with you singing & playing. 😍 You have such a gift Whitney.

[@WhittyNovels]

thank you so much :')

[@lostgirlinthetardis]

i love these vlogs so much ngl i devour them if u ever stop making them, i will cry

[@haladriels]

Your face when you pulled out the christina lauren book has made my entire week uwu

[@WhittyNovels]

im so excited uwu

[@serenshadow89]

After watching so many videos with you gushing over the Shatter Me series, I finally picked up the first book and OMG, I love it! It took me a little while to really get into it, but once I did, it hooked me! I've already reserved the rest of the series at my library and I can't wait until they come in so I can marathon them!

[@WhittyNovels]

i'm so glad you liked it

[@meltotheany]

My brain was over here weird flexing at your animal asmr giving me tingles... and then you said my name now I'm just anti asmr heavy breathing. Seriously though, you in that elevator added five years to my life... and you got this. And the end of this? Holy shit. 11/10. 💖xx

[@WhittyNovels]

hahaha thank you so much

[@drealoera]

Your voice is so beautiful! love your vlogs!

[@WhittyNovels]

[@jodyjansa3207]

Disappointed but also not that this didn’t start with a conspiracy. Update: I’m SO happy I started watching Whit again bc I literally get SO FRICKIN HAPPY when she gets happy, it makes me THE HAPPIEST.

[@WhittyNovels]

hahahahhaa thanks friendo c:

[@jordanmonroe19]

I always love the vlogs. But I am OBSESSED with the song you sang at the end! It sounded AMAZING!! When you put songs at the end can you put their name up? You have such great music choice. 💖💖💖

[@WhittyNovels]

sure!

the stuff about the scarf was SENDING ME i-

[@FueledByIris]

This is one of my all time favoured unboxing/hauls/vlogs! You’re so excited about these releases and you’re so genuinely happy. It’s contagious. Now I want to be just as excited when reading these titles. Please keep doing you!! Xx

[@bribookishbrianne4092]

ur reaction to christina lauren’s new book u are the CUTEST

[@WhittyNovels]

SO EXCITED

[@trin1797]

I love that you're still going to post even if you read half a book. I love all your vlogs, and it just makes me happy seeing what you're doing in general? Idk if thats weird, but I would watch both reading vlogs and vlogs in general of yours.

[@maryambatool7127]

Out of all the booktubers I follow, I love your vlogs the best! You are always able to articulate exactly why you are or aren't getting along with a book. Love your sense of humour and your singing voice. Much love! 💕💕

[@Nataliecj]

Words cannot describe how much I love your cat(s). #1 KittyNovels enthusiast right here.

[@sharonforbes162]

Oh My Goodness ! ! Those adorable kittens are getting SO big ! ! I love seeing how excited you get when you receive books you really love in the mail ! It's a great feeling , I got a book in the mail today, an ARC of The Guest Book by Sarah Blake . I am thinking I must have won this from Goodreads , as I haven't been buying ANY books since they cut off my disability , which sucks , BUT I do have a hearing to attented about it next month, as I am contesting their decision to cur off my disability , praying SO hard that they will reinstate me after this hearing . I hope you find a job soon , I know I've been depressed with my health situation, but I'll be ok , watching your wonderful vlogs has definitely cheered me up , so thank you for that ! I am going to go read for a while I think . Oh, loved your singing again at the end of the vlog, your voice is so beautiful !! 😊💕

[@debralavoie9095]

I always thought brushing a horse was done by something with bristles. Is that some sort of razor/scraping tool? Yes, I'm a city girl, lol.

[@WhittyNovels]

yeah those are typical brushes but when hes caked with mud or is shedding i use the metal scraper!

[@jaelynnallison9899]

I absolutely love your personality and the way you're so authentic about what you're feeling and how you feel towards the books you read. And you have a stellar singer voice ❤

[@aphroditereads]

asmr rain is much more soothing than my voice I completely understand

[@WhittyNovels]

i sowwy uwu

[@rachelhumbert6440]

girl please make an album or something i could listen to you sing for hours

[@abbeyw3297]

your review made me wanna read the unhoneymooners so bad I could sob, I wANT IT.

[@WhittyNovels]

it is definitely worth a preorder!

[@cocobooksgalore3945]

Damn. Your voice is amazing, and btw really enjoying these reading vlogs. The cats are great too!!

[@thebookcamefirst7481]

I’m new to your channel but you’ve got a new subscriber! 👍🏽 Also, I read A Princess in Theory and found it pretty on/off for me as well. BUT I enjoyed a Duke By Default a lot more. The main character in that book just vibed a bit more with me and the romantic interest is a lovable grump. Can’t wait to see more from you!

[@bookishalex18]

ASMR/ambient sounds has been a godsend for my reading! I tried it earlier this year, and for some reason it is the only thing that helps me concentrate. Btw, you look amazing in business clothes!

[@andgraciewashername]

the zack and cody reference tho.... GOLD.

[@WhittyNovels]

[@dancelikeumathurman8092]

i love the horse brushing segment!!

[@WhittyNovels]

this has been getting a lot of good feedback, i'll have to deshed him on camera this year lol

[@BonnieAyn]

*the cats fighting each other* they look lovely

[@ByMadisonFox]

"i look like a swamp toad" okay but your excitement at all those romance books? amazing I totally understand how you feel with the whole "adulting". But you will get the hang of it and it will slowly come to feel natural babe also 18:44 - THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACH AND CODYYYYYYY

[@WhittyNovels]

YEESSS!!! hahaha thanks for the support lovely :)

[@Kiran-dh3ff]

I just had my first introduction to Toni Morrison too! We read Beloved in our class and I loved it so SO much. It's such an important book too -- Morrison wrote it in the middle of a culture war and she wrote Beloved to give the story of black people and the history and traumas of slavery a place in the American literature canon that has ignored that history and that voice completely. Her writing is insanely beautiful and the book itself holds such an important message and history, I really recommend you pick it up! Especially since you've already read her writing and enjoyed it!

[@WhittyNovels]

definitely on my list of things i want to read next by her!

[@iLiviesimone]

This is the most timely video ever hahaha I just finished A Princess Theory and I have an interview today- ahh! And yes- I just kept thinking Thabiso, you fool, don't be like this. But I really enjoyed following Naledi's little journey and it's so satisfying to see her standing up for herself. Happy reading XD

[@britneyfan45]

listening to ASMR while i read has literally saved my reading

[@WhittyNovels]

iconic!!!

[@andgraciewashername]

when you pulled up red, white and royal blue I verbally squealed.

[@WhittyNovels]

oof, her power. i cannot wait to review it!!

[@vicia_vie]

Asmr helps me read too. Accidental sleep might be a side effect though xD

[@diaryofareader6156]

Watching your vlogs always makes my day better

[@ilseeezwart]

Hi Whitney 💘 Thank you for always making my day with your videos, whether they’re about you talking about books, the kittens or you singing another one of Nina’s songs❣️ They always make me smile and I just wanted you to know :)

[@WhittyNovels]

thanks so much for watching :')

[@xiomysbooktales6279]

Hahaha loved your reaction when you got the arcs, I react the same way when I get my anticipated releases!

[@WhittyNovels]

best feeling ever!!!

[@readingwithkelsey]

Toni Morrison’s Beloved is my favourite book by her and I think if you really enjoyed the Bluest Eye, you will find Beloved super interesting

[@thefancifulreader1445]

I absolutely loved your vlog, as always! It's so fun to hear your thoughts. I think a weekly vlog would be awesome!

[@thebooknivore]

I'm so glad you loved The Bluest Eye! I loved it when I read it back a couple years ago! I really hope you like Americanah! It's SOO fantastically beautiful! Also This Will Be My Undoing sounds really great!

[@WhittyNovels]

so far americanah is pretty slow and dry at parts, but i'm 120 pages in so hopefully the pace will pick up soon!

[@clarajohansson3091]

The Unhoneymooners sounds really good! I have not read anything by Christina Lauren yet but I want to!

[@rimbluebooks]

That clip of you singing really calmed me. Thank u u have a beautiful voice and soul 😘🌺❤

[@WhittyNovels]

thank you :') this comment made me emo

[@rimbluebooks]

@@WhittyNovels I'm always emo watching your videos. They're my solace for the past 2 years ❤🌺😘

[@sumayyah5015]

omg, I found my new passion...brushing horse hair asmr. Much obliged Whitney. P.s I recommend the channel asmr rooms for background sounds. I love the Inside Howl's Moving Castle one it is amazing.

i'm so excited you got red white and royal blue!! it's amazinggg, i love those boys :') i'm currently reading a princess in theory and really enjoying it so far!

[@WhittyNovels]

AHHH i'm so excited to get to it! i'm binging all my romance next month :')

[@redblack5480]

The kitties are so cute! I have no idea how you handle their claws though. Ouch!

[@Hotelpastis]

I usually read to ASMR Rooms, her Harry Potter videos are fun and relaxing.

[@chelseaprice4116]

Every time you mention pride and prejudice, I just relate so damn much

[@nataliewood3095]

How cute! Is your little girl part Bengal? My kitty baby looked exactly the same when he was that small😍

[@rileyp.2116]

I read a short graphic novel that would work both for Black History Month and romance! It's called Bingo Love by Tee Franklin. It's a really cute (but also sad) story that starts out when Hazel sees Mari at bingo with her grandmother. Mari ends up going to Hazel's school, and they end up becoming friends for years and years. Down the line, Hazel finds out that Mari likes her back and they had been hiding their romantic feelings from each other the whole time. The rest of the plot I will leave for you to find out. Trigger warning: homophobia It's very good though, I would definitely recommend reading it this month!

[@ApriliusMaximus]

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARIAN????????????? WHY DO I NOT OWN THIS BOOK????

[@WhittyNovels]

i just finished it today and april it's sooooo cute!!!! the love interest calls her hermoine the entire book because the first time she meets her, she's in a harry potter shirt :') so sweet

[@Sofia-ek6en]

hey! maybe I missed the vlog where you talk about this, but are all the kittens yours?? Like you were saying that one kitten at the vet was your responsability, is it the same with all of them? I am very jealous of your kitten heaven!!!

[@sunbeamsami]

Whitney, you could post videos of you sneezing for twenty minutes and I would still watch it. Also, I'm one of the people who said your scarf had the wrong colors but I just wanna say IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AND PEOPLE WILL STILL GET THAT IT'S RAVENCLAW! You're doing amazing, sweetie!

[@WhittyNovels]

hahaha thank you!! no shade intended

[@gennareads_3333]

I love your vlogs so much. I know you’re keeping Rosie, but I’m so curious as to which little kitten was your second choice. Cause I would struggle just picking one so I always want to know which ones you were choosing between!

Your singing is beautiful.

[@MoodyMegReads]

Holy crap the Shatter Meows are so much bigger!!! Check out TCAP in Keller or NRH for her vaccinations and easy care stuff. TCAP also spay and neutered at a fraction of veterinary costs. I've taken all my males there to be snipped but took Leela, my baby girl to her vet since a spay is open surgery. I was too nervous to have her major surgery at a low cost clinic but tons of fam and friends have had females spayed at TCAP and it was totally fine. I've taken my boys to both locations and they have been nothing but wonderful! My last bill was a fully vetted, neutered, tested rescued stray male.. 90 bucks for EVERYTHING including the meds he came home with. Probably would have been 6-700 bucks if I had gone through a vet to get all what he had done. To wrap this novel up.. it's awesome you're taking cat motherhood serious and realizing it's a huge commitment! Try not to panic over vet bills, TCAP will save you tons of money in vax costs! :) Also check into carecredit, most vets take it.. that way if she does end up having a large vet bill at some point you could pay it off in interest free chunks and not worry about it all at once. You got this Cat Momma!

[@WhittyNovels]

i decided to take her to a regular vet just so they can have her records all in one place. thankfully i have sufficient funds to do so. but thanks for the support :')
