📖 new studio, painting challenge, & books I read......... | October Notes ✏️

[@WordsAlongTheWire]

With the rise of minimalist interiors, I really appreciate your love of color and knick-knacks ❤️

[@annabellegao]

🥺❤️❤️❤️ sank u

[@sabrinaestrada2211]

your videos always feel like catching up with an old friend over coffee ❤️

[@honeypotfilms6066]

fr i would love to be her friend in real life

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Love your eye for colour, the walls look so cozy 🥺💞

[@swanily]

the way annabelle's comment section is literally the best corner of youtube is everything

[@FlipperTea]

Annabelle is like the only youtuber left that I have the patience for watching her just talk 💓

[@TB-ky7de]

SAME

[@nas2734]

Calming aura check

[@annabellegao]

🥰✨

[@WandersNotLost]

I watch her videos to decompress and it works literally every time

[@melinaillulina4286]

I totally get what you say about taking enough time to produce something good - for the longest time I could not go to bed until something was finished. Looking back now, I wish I would have pressured myself less to be fast because the pieces I did had so much potential, but I didn't give them the time they needed. By the way, I also tend to grab different kinds of books depending on the time of the day. During the night I gravitate towards historical reads, eerie & moody ones. Currently, it's the Tenant of Wildfel Hall by Anne Brontë!

[@annabellegao]

It’s nice to know you relate 🥺❤️ and ooh very cool read, I haven’t heard of this book by Brontë, it sounds good just from the title~

[@Kathens]

Even though I haven't read a book in along time your descriptions really make me want to pick up one of those books and start reading again! :)

[@fegrace_1]

Thanks for highlighting used books. There is a large used bookstore in my city and I really enjoy spending times going through there books and finding ones that are out of print. Also my local Goodwill and Salvation Army have great selections. It feels satisfying to give gently used books (even ones that are more expensive online or in regular brick stores) a second home and life🙂

[@atheera6]

I also like to "screenplay" when I read. almost too much that I fly away and make up my own story and forget the one I am reading 😅

[@jenna601]

annabelle, i have loved your content and followed you ever since your very early days at RISD. I haven't had the chance to watch your channel in a while, as I became caught up in school, work, friends, obligations.... getting to sit down and watch this video is like meeting again with an old friend :)

[@akitir]

Yess, i too play scenes from books like a movie, which is why i love narrative, descriptive books more, because they help me imagine things in my head more

[@absurdgal]

I am also a very slow reader and often have to reread sentences multiple times to understand them. Discovered this year that I'm mildly dyslexic. Made it through all those years of school including grad school before I was diagnosed! Really explains so much about the atypical way my brain works.

[@ccbbaabbcc]

When she said that she uses audiobooks to help her read my brain just said “dyslexia”.

[@aines5757]

The house duties have become my favourite time of the day thanks to these little catch up videos❤️

[@emmabenson7519]

I love the way you explain things I just love the way u laid out those books it makes me think about what the book is about and what you took from it and whether I would like it. You explained it clearly and eloquently so thank you!!

[@razelhood4923]

makes me wanna read again!! 😩 i had reading fatigue for a month and this has helped to motivate me a lot!! i love u

[@annabellegao]

I’m glad! ❤️❤️❤️ best wishes to u lovely.

[@puffeeclouds9956]

watched this while i enjoyed my apple juice and i must say that i especially love the part where you finished the heart-shaped vegan white chocolate because you were (almost) closing your eyes and you were carrying bambi and the two of you just seemed like in different worlds doing your own thing but at the same time, you're both in the same room, on the same chair. i don't knooooow it was just so cuuuute!!! and the books!!! kinda had this vision of me enjoying inferno by dan brown after my pile of school works. this video was very refreshing, thank you so much!

[@thebirdandthecricket]

Your videos about making your at-home studio inspired me to find my own studio corner in my childhood home too! Thank you so much for sharing that transformation. It's so difficult to be an art student and art graduate right now, but your vides are keeping me hopeful! Tysm Annabelle!

[@drudru6836]

Annabelle you’ve been so inspiring to me and I’ve honestly have been here for 2 years and to see the way we have both grown! I love u the very most. You probably don’t know this but you’ve impacted my life in such a great way 💓

[@MeganWangart]

your videos are my favorite! Thank you for sharing these aspects of your life, they’re so nice to watch and are such a source of comfort for me right now ❤️

[@NotoriusNa]

Just woke up & watched this video. Really loved it, made me get up differently. Idk, but it motivated me. So thank you!

[@mikaylashannon8641]

i’ve been having terrible anxiety the last few hours & this video has provided me some relief and i’m thankful

[@dobochobo]

what a lovely calm video to end my hectic day~~ i was so curious to see how your ceramic bowl turned out, and its so beautiful!

[@farheenw848]

A wonderful new upload to watch during the class break ahh hope you and your family are well Annabelle 🌿

[@alahere]

Annabelle therapy is one of my favorites

[@wittlecloud]

The lighting in this video I am in LOVE

[@bonjosireads]

you’re so inspiring, this really makes me wanna repaint my apartment again...

[@estherlim7591]

AHH this is my first time being so early!!!! haven't watched yet but just wanted to say thank you annabelle for always being such a lovely and reassuring presence🥰🥰

[@cardtower]

ahh I just arrived to my new home after 14+ hours of driving... I really need this to relax! Thanks for the vibes 😊 I need to redo the layout for my art studio too!

[@just1lilguy]

I love the colours you went for - can't wait to see how the rest of the room turned out! Also: that Sriracha bottle peeking out from behind you 👀😄

[@allak8077]

I WAS LITERALLY JUST ON KZbin WAITING FOR THIS 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@pentominoes3609]

Thank you for bringing calm and cozy feelings to the world right now💕

[@tassirina]

thanks for sharing! I want to read more often, your video motivated me 💛✨

[@Chatelalexa123]

my first time being this early!!! can't wait to be enlightened by your thoughts from October!!

[@mariacaballero7890]

19 minutes and 43 seconds of bliss!!! it is always such a pleasure to hear you talk about things, my heart is happy

[@ianjerome8243]

2 videos in a week ahhh thank u annabelle 💕 enjoyed this sm ☺️

[@Straberrysugar]

you make me want to get back into reading 😭 i used to love fantasy stories in high school, and fell out of it in university. still consider myself a book lover but haven't taken the time to actually read in a long time !! thank you for the calming video ♡

[@jimee024]

the books is much deeper and full of class analysis, the series is more of the love story in itself although also good. rooney is such a smart author, and because it is thought to be a young adult fiction novel people can find it boring, but it is much more than that, the way marianne and connor interact throught their class backgrounds, the family abuse and how it affects marianne's relationship, etc. if you look at it from a different light maybe you'll enjoy it more :) 🌷

[@micaelaalmarez4947]

I didn't finish the challenge too, so busy but i feel like it was worth it, thank you for the prompts they were all beautiful

[@juliettepanda5297]

I loved the Where’d You Go Bernadette Movie! You should definitely try it out. It’s really fun, even if it’s a little different from the book.

[@annabellegao]

Oh ok! Will do~

[@securesalad6961]

ugh so happy you posted as i got ready for bed, thank you for the calm vibes ❤️

[@annabellegao]

❤️❤️❤️ rest well Sabrina !

[@katierose7532]

I felt the same with normal people, conversations with friends is much better 😊

[@KM-ii4sc]

Katie Rose I loved normal people - finished it in a day and couldn’t even finish conversations with friends ! So interesting how the books are so polarising - seems like you can only like one ! Interesting how they both came from the same mind

[@emilyp4237]

There are these things called "book darts" that you can get a tin of off of Amazon for cheap and they are like little brass pointer bookmarks that are really thin that I love to use to mark favorite quotes when reading, and then I can go back and write them down in a journal after I'm done reading.

[@Cara_V]

So excited for you and the new studio :D

[@annabellegao]

Aw thank you 🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@mawga3448]

your videos are always so calming 🥺🧡 have a great night, anabelle 🌙🌏

[@quynhdantea]

Hi Annabeth, where is the little wooden shelf that your beanie babies are sitting on from? Thank you!

[@najyaindra2292]

[@Yoko3034]

I can't wait to see how the office turned out ✨💕

[@ritatouilles00]

I love the scenario and colours here

[@literaterue]

Books you read!!! 📚✨ I’m always on the lookout for this kind of content from you~

[@annabellegao]

:-D in hindsight I keep wishing I either said this or that about the books, I didn’t do them justice but my mini reviews will hopefully improve~

[@sarahgortler2738]

Hands down favorite KZbinr

[@bernarqo]

i loooove your recent thumbnails babe!! you're killing it

[@Mar_ahh]

I really enjoyed this more relaxed, conversational video.

[@samalcoreza48]

The colors are really cute ahhh is there like a filter you use?? 💕

[@meganlim7504]

[@samanthahalpern4668]

2 uploads in one week? I feel truly blessed 😭

[@What2Wear1]

I love your videos. And the titles you make for your videos are so good. May I ask what program you use to make the titles in your video

[@ivds7226]

I smiled when I saw you uploaded the video. Thank you Anabelle. You're truly wonderful. Lot's of love from India .

[@shy8653]

[@honeypotfilms6066]

[@sarahdsilva2655]

I come here when I need motivation to be productive

[@orangefanta6567]

What camera did you use for this video? Also the colors look so lovely :0

[@kylefrancisco9538]

I do that while reading fiction too! Sometimes I even confuse it as an actual movie that existed while recalling🥴

[@s27289]

honestly I agree I feel like the pacing of normal people was weird? maybe I might have to reread, but honestly I’d say this is one of those instances where the show is better than the book it’s so so good! and the ending hurts so bad

[@poopoohead6291]

I need to point out how gorgeous you look 😫❤

[@juliarocha2998]

you should read 'eleanor oliphant is completely fine' i think you would really enjoy it

[@user-bn1tj8dt5q]

tbh, i like the show normal people better than the book!! i think it was able to capture and portray the story better. just my opinion tho :) excited to hear your thoughts on it in the future!

[@annabellegao]

I look forward to watching !

[@micaelaalmarez4947]

I love this thumbnail annabelle

[@a.m.g.1212]

... also where can I sign up for pyperbleu emails?

[@missclaudette3126]

Yay! Thank you!

[@annabellegao]

And thank u!!

[@arnesonblair4673]

I actually cried during the movie Where Did You Go Bernadette. I will admit that it wasn't the best movie, but it was really emotional for me. (granted, this is a super emotional time in general) Maybe if you really loved the novel, though, you shouldn't ruin it with an iffy movie.

[@arnesonblair4673]

(also, I totally feel you on the drowsy-even-with-non-drowsy allergy medicine vibe)

[@annabellegao]

Ah I see. I cry for like every movie, nay, even commercials HAHA. I really like the leading actress so maybe it’ll tough it out!

[@arnesonblair4673]

​@@annabellegao Yes! Cate Blanchett is pretty solid in it indeed.

[@twocorndogs]

love hearing from you, october just blew by for me too. i've been trying to read more too, about to get 1984 in the mail! very appropriate for election season i think lol

[@emily3313132]

The movie Where'd You Go, Bernadette is actually not bad, you should watch it!

[@LilithFrey]

what is that squiggly in the back i want one

[@LilithFrey]

also i feel like i am that piece of ur hair from ur bangs for sum reason i rly relate to it

[@BlueEyedGirl54]

I liked the movie adaptation of where’d you go Bernadette

[@annabellegao]

This gives me hope I shall check it out~

[@chy.m.]

You're so beautiful!!!!

[@WordsAlongTheWire]

With Normal People I did get bogged down by all the dense paragraphs and descriptions of minutiae. There was this one scene where I think they were eating a dinner and so much language was spent on the movement of the guests and the sounds of the flatware I lost track of what the scene was suppose to be. So I'm excited for a visual adaptation because I think they can adapt those atmospheric scenes without muddying the narrative.

[@annabellegao]

Yes! Exactly~ and to also see the people’s facial expressions reacting to one another would be very nice to bring more context in.

[@ellenmcnaught3179]

There is a tv show !

[@mrnbdn]

There is a TV show based on the book actually and it's very very VERY good.

[@jessaminex7817]

ahhh💕💕

[@chabinana]

💞💞💞

[@shmo6551]

Where'd you go Bernadette is still worth the watch I think! I enjoyed it without reading the novel

[@glittery1701]

i would love to follow you on goodreads if you are comfortable with sharing your username 🙃🌺
