I don’t normally comment on videos, but I just wanted to say your monthly vlogs have been such a comfort to me. I was diagnosed with Breast cancer last year and during chemotherapy I’ve been watching your vlogs and absolutely love them. I literally can’t keep up with all your book recommendations, I want to read everything LOL 😂 Really enjoy watching your videos, thank you for keeping me company during my journey 😊

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time and I’m glad my nonsense can help a little ☺️ I hope you enjoy the books you read and I’m sending all good thoughts your way! 💛💛💛

[@elaineregan4191]

Love your vlogs Victoria. Been through a stressful few months and your vlogs are very comforting and uplifting. Keep being you xx

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Oh, thank you! I hope things get easier for you! ☺️💛

[@rosebud7233]

🍿 The measure is on my priority list to read this year. I can’t wait!

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

It’s so thought provoking! ☺️💛

[@OnlyIfForAPage]

Always so nice to see a cozy vlog from you, looking forward to the trip footage, have fun 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thanks lovely ☺️💛

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Ah this was so good! Thanks for sharing your reading month with us! 🪴xx

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you for watching! ☺️💛

[@nikkijohnston2891]

Love love love your monthly vlogs ! I have read no books this month its crazy I started cross stitch I can't stop even booked to go away on x stitch retreat in June haha ! Your book total is impressive. Ps I wouldnt open the box loved that book gave it 4 stars Good luck with house hunting and hope you feel better soon x

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@clairethackraytarot]

Snag tights are amazing and they last too. Also struggling with a Sarah Waters book at the minute xxx

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

They are the best! And yes, the only one I’ve loved of hers was Tipping The Velvet! Thanks for watching ☺️💛

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I'm halfway through vol 5 of heartstopper and it is so lovely

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

I’m loving Bitter! ☺️

[@KaitlynFoxwood]

More great recommendations. I'm particularly looking forward to reading 'The Measure' which sounds really interesting. This is such a friendly way of finding out what's out there, and when I find something which I've enjoyed I then go onto the RNIB Talking Library service and add the book to my Dad's listening list and so he also gets the benefit as he's registered blind and so relies on other people recommending books he might like. So thank you so much!

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Oh, that’s so lovely to know! Thanks! And I hope you enjoy The Measure! ☺️💛

[@nonfictionfeminist]

Last year I reread a book about once a month and I think it was really good for me! Been having a bad time with health the last 2 weeks, Heartstopper seems like the feel good reread I could use right now... So I guess there goes the next few days!

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

I hope you enjoy it! ☺️💛

[@gillwoolley6515]

🍿🍿Great vlog Victoria. Hope you are feeling better now ❤xxx

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@loiscavallarolittle62]

🍿 🍿🍿 looking forward to the Feb vlog 😮

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Ahh, thank you! ☺️💛

[@jop5547]

Great long vlog as always, I love you waffling on! Definitely agree with you about One, and I'm pleased my gifted copy went to your classroom library. Looks like I'm rereading the Helen Fields series too thanks to Charlotte! X 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Oooh, I hope you enjoy it second time around! ☺️💛

[@lindacarson5429]

🍿really love these vlogs. I was so excited for January to end, February began & I got covid - again 😷 Hope you're feeling better.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Oh no! I hope you’re feeling better soon! ☺️💛

[@thoroughlyenjoyedbooks8565]

Sorry to hear you've been sick- think you had the same thing I did and it was rough! But you still had such an impressive reading month. Hope the house hunting keeps going well. I'm considering selling my house and downsizing too because there is no need for me to have a house this big but the thought of it terrifies me.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

It’s a big thing to do but hopefully it’ll be worth it in the end! I hope you’re feeling better ☺️💛

[@bookfairy62]

🍿 This was a great way to start my Sunday. I hope you’re feeling better and that home selling/shopping goes well. 💜

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@sandrarichardson7200]

I love all your videos, the longer the better. I really enjoy your thoughts on the books you read. 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@bookishlifebeth]

I get so excited for your monthly vlogs 🤍🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@marybongers842]

Evening, new to your book tube. I enjoyed your thoughts on the books you have read in January. I am trying to get back into reading physical books this year & I have nearly finished my first one for the year.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

That’s great! Thanks for coming over and I hope you enjoy your reading! ☺️💛

[@ReadRecRoam]

🍿 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Nightingale. Fab vlog 🧡

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@emmastinylibrary]

LOVE those pjs! 😍 Such a shame about the Sarah Waters book, can you recommend any others of hers besides Tipping the Velvet? I'm unsure whether to try her again... Looking forward to your upcoming solo adventure 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! I personally have only enjoyed Tipping The Velvet but maybe read some of the other blurbs and see if any of them are appealing to you? And thanks, I’m excited to go on a little adventure! ☺️💛

[@emmastinylibrary]

@@WhatVictoriaRead thank you, I have been recommended The Paying Guest and Fingersmith 🙂

[@GiddyKnits]

🍿 such a lovely vlog, and so many books added to my list 😅

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Ahh, I hope you enjoy them! ☺️💛

[@ChloeReadsBooks]

Excuse my horribly late comment! 👋🏼💗 I really like the sound of The Measure, but I'm not sure if it'll really work for me. I will keep my eye out at the library! 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

It was definitely an interesting read! ☺️💛

[@alianathefoxfairy]

I fell in love with the Heartstopper show that it made me want to read the books I really hope I get them for my birthday this year!

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

I hope you love them! ☺️💛

[@valevans195]

Hi Victoria, I’m a recent newbie to your channel & am now an avid fan! Thanks so much for sharing all your reads. Had to google the popcorn emoji, couldn’t find it for the life of me. Almost sent u monkey nuts 😂 but got there in the end 🍿🍿🍿🍿😀. Thanks again. Stay well

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@ellie-elles.bookshelf]

Another great vlog! I also didn’t love Before The Coffee Gets Cold, I rated it 3🌟

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! And I’m glad it wasn’t just me! Thanks for watching! ☺️💛

[@cosybookswithdogs]

🍿 Great vlog as always. Decided to give Sweet Pea a listen today after watching but Helen Fields may be too grim for me! So relaxing to see your beautiful cat. Good luck with the house sale.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

I hope you enjoy Sweetpea ☺️💛

[@WomanVsBooks]

I listened to Perfect Remains last yèar and absolutely loved it, so clever.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

She’s such a great writer! ☺️💛

[@emilykathleenreads]

Lovely vlog! Hope you’re feeling a lot better now :) nearly half term! 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@PolishandPurls]

🍿 Just found your channel after it was recommended by Ali from This Little Wonderful Life

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you for coming over! ☺️💛

[@marlenerichardson4429]

Hi, I sent Sorrowland to you but didn’t include a gift note x I’m glad you enjoyed it x

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you again! It was wonderful! ☺️💛

[@ReadingKeepsRealityAway]

I re read heartstopper and then the new one in January too. I still gave them 5 stars too

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Yay! ☺️💛

[@CharlieBrookReads]

I feel like once you have had snags you can’t go back!! No other tights are as comfy. Drops of Youth has been renamed now Edelweiss something or other 😅Same type of packaging though. 🍿❤

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

That’s good! I love the product but hate that name 😂 thanks for watching lovely! ☺️💛

[@ameliabarlowbooks]

Jan was a busy month for you - so glad you’re feeling better now! are you going to see Chloe? ♥️🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Yep ☺️💛

[@bethmw28]

🍿I think I've officially given up on the Sweetpea series now after reading the 4th one in Jan. I actually DNFd the 3rd one (oops🙈) but Thorn in My Side came on my library app just when i wanted an audiobook so thought I'd try it anyway. I did make it to the end this time, it was vaguely fun but i think I'm done 🙃 hope you have a better time than me with it! (Edit: just got to the bit where you've read it and sounds like we had similar thoughts! Can't wait to see your thoughts on the next one)

[@bethmw28]

I didn't even say the thing I actually wanted to say! I'm so glad that with all the other changes, they've stuck to Georgia Maguire as the audiobook narrator for the 4th one! If I'd listened to the 3rd one on audio I think I'd have got through it 👌

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

I will read it and report back! ☺️💛

[@JulieCope-di2cx]

🍿 Great content again Victoria, thank you. 😊

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️💛

[@maryannestoner4065]

I felt the same as you about Before the Coffee Gets Cold. I really wanted to love it too but I just didn’t.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Glad it wasn’t just me! ☺️💛

[@cuppa.books.]

I usually start my year with a re-read for the same reason 🍿

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

It’s definitely the way to go! ☺️💛

[@susanwithers1194]

Such a inspiring channel 🙏 thank you

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you! ☺️💛

[@yaz4724]

Always one of my favourite videos each month! Sorry you've been under the weather 🖤 I had very similar thoughts about Before The Coffee Gets Cold. It was okay but from all the amazing reviews I thought I'd feel more/experience something very profound and unfortunately I just didn't 🤷‍♀️

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Oh, thank you so much! ☺️💛

Thank you so so much for new recommendations 🍿🍿🍿🙏🏼🤗🐈‍⬛
