Rachel if you go to America you’ve got to see if you can meet up with Destiny, Sara and Haley!! 🎉❤

[@loiseigenraam]

Fellow red face girlie here 😢😂 I’ll literally do a low intensity workout and come away as if I’ve been sprinting at high speed around the gym for an hour…

[@nidhivaidya6485]

Rach!! You MUST go to the Boston Public Library - it is GORGEOUS. RF Kuang actually got married there recently!

[@lynniebuggg]

yes! i love the bpl!!

[@nissasbookcorner]

something about your vlogs is just so relaxing and satisfying to my brain

[@xoxellerose]

I don’t know if this type of thing is international but the best thing for me personally are Airbnb’s just gives you privacy and more space then just a. Hotel and you can cook and save money that way

[@ninarosarodrigues7340]

I appreciate that you showed us your pictures! They are so beautiful💖

[@couchcatato]

The photo boards turn out so well!! I'm adding this to my crafting activity! 🤩

[@biancawhite2921]

Actual sweetest, purest human. Bless your soul 🩷

[@daphnenm]

Loved how chatty this vlog was 😍🩷

[@gabbybertucci5380]

You and Des posted at the exact right moment!! Literally just finished Destiny's vlog and I look in my inbox and 1 minute ago you posted!! So excited!!❤❤

[@isabellajuanitalyn]

Love your calming vlogs! They're literally the best on rainy days!

[@SamiKaye]

The photo diy is so cute! 💕 I’ve actually been organizing and digitizing all my family’s old photos! 📷

[@alessia_books5]

it’s been busy so i’m so late to watching this vidoe 😭 but it hits the same every time, love your vidoes rach ❤

[@loznotsoz]

5km run is amazing 🎉 don’t downplay it! Love 💖

[@bronnyd7654]

You just talking about your book making you cry made me cry!

[@user-qo5ey4wm2s]

Obsessed with this!! Love you so much Rachel, and have been watching you for 8 years now!

[@lynniebuggg]

omg i’m a boston girlie and i’m SO excited you’re coming to my hometown! you should definitely visit the boston public library and go on some historic tours!

[@mariekeho]

I absolutely love the calm/chatty vlogs ❤

[@tareegibson9351]

This vlog was such a blessing Rachel. Thank you for sharing your memories and moments in photos. I wonder if there are pinterest girlies who specialise in turning modern sleek interiors into more cottagecore homestead vibes? ❤

[@vitorianovaes_]

new comfort vlog 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@Dkg260]

You and Des posting in the same day? Best day ever!! Ly ❤❤❤

[@Reagan-zi2fi]

I can’t wait for The Grandest Game! Jennifer Lynn Barnes is my favorite author. I know you’ve read her Inheritance Games series, The Naturals series, and I think you’ve read her Debutante duology, but have you read her Fixer duology and her standalone The Lovely and The Lost? If you haven't read them, I highly recommend! I've read all of these by her, and although the Naturals series still definitely has my heart, I really enjoyed them all and can't wait to read the rest of her backlist.

[@Charlotte-pr8zf]

I loveeee your vlogs so much they are so enjoyable ❤I binge watch them every afternoon

[@abireadthat]

I read The Midnight Feast as an ARC and it actually wasn’t too bad! There’s just a lot of POVs and it gets a bit dizzy 😅

[@AliviaReads]

such a fun vlog, i love all the book updates throughout ❤ so comforting!!

[@temiomotayo]

the craft was so cute and such a great idea!!! 💖 can’t wait to to do this my place

[@hopecheshire]

the all is fair in love and poetry sticker is a T-Swift TTPD reference and I ALWAYS think of divine rivals when I listen to a lot of the songs ahahaah💗😂

[@christinathomas8523]

Woah! Never been this early but this vlog couldn’t have come at a better time! 🥰

[@mariumtapal8732]

following you for a couple years now! i live in boston and some must do's are the esplanade, public garden, harvard/mit area (cambridge). also there are so many cute bookstores, definitely would recommend beacon hill books and cafe, trident booksellers, narrative books! also the boston public library is gorg

[@Taabea]

I love that you link everything that you‘re wearing because you‘re style is just always extra gorgeous! 😮‍💨 Also the pink bookclub sweater?? I need that asap

[@livhudginss]

Hi! I’m also a tomato face gal when i work out!! I was told it’s the blood rushing to your face/skin when your heart rate rises!! I haven’t been able to find anything to help but sometimes I’ll put an ice roller on my face after and i think it helps a little!! 🩷

[@ecr.7695]

I hope you find the library that'll work for you, Rachel. Maybe it'll help you read those books that you're iffy about and just try them to see if they suit your taste. Also, great craft idea 👍💯💛!

[@anna-brandtt]

I CAN’T WITH THE MATCHING BOOK CLUB SWEATSHIRTS!

[@anna-brandtt]

my heart hurts theyre so perfect

[@hannasmith794]

I don’t know how it works in Queensland but in SA all the libraries are linked so you can request books from anywhere and they’ll get sent to your library for pickup. I’ve had books from all over SA

[@theresearmstrong6326]

omg i need that 'all is fair in love and poetry' sticker because duh ttpd reference!!!! love your vids bestie rachel you've actually motivated me to get back into reading again! much love book bestie! ❤

[@jada6950]

me 👆 love the four seasons baby reference

[@_inmyhead]

I really liked the new housemaid book. i lowkey hated the previous one the 2nd one but i feel 3rd one was nice. also its in quite a different setting than the other 2 which i didnt expect or know and i loved it

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great vlog Rachel!

[@emmaskapetis7603]

Amazing vlog as always 💕. I love all of your pictures. They're so cute 🥺. Also I need to finally read Out of a limb. It's literally been on my Kindle since like when I got it (which was in November last year).

[@sydneyrenee7088]

Absolutely loved the Rom-Commers! The hype is real, it’s super cute

[@sophiewalti3147]

I lived in Brisbane for 3 years and miss it every day! Truly no where else in the world I’d rather live, but unfortunately immigration is difficult, so I’m in the U.S.A. Watching your videos always makes me both so happy and also miss the city so so much. I really don’t understand the bad rap Brisbane gets, I truly feel like it’s so wonderful!

[@victoriacestodio348]

AHHH you’re coming to Boston I’m so excited for you! I live there 🥰

[@jackiek5632]

The typewriter with „All‘s fair in love and poetry“ is T Swizzle merch! I love it!!! 😍

[@HannahPaul]

I will never understand why Brisbane gets a bad rap! I grew up in Sydney and moved to Brisbane in 2019, then moved back to Sydney at the start of this year and HATED it so I literally just moved back to Brisbane a few days ago because I loved it so much! I don't understand the hate at all hahaha 💕

[@SPumpkinxo]

Love you & your vlogs, Rachel! Just to let you know that Christina Lauren is actually 2 people 🥰

[@jaimet5442]

Out on a Limb is my fave romance book!

[@ChinnyPeanut]

That pink Wildflower tshirt 😍😍 I wish they had them on the website!

[@claraeyberg552]

I LOVED Out on a limb as well 🥺🥺

[@booknerdktree]

Love and other Goals by Tracy Baack is a new release that comes out at the end of this month!!! She’s a debut author & I got to read it early and wow! I adored it. Best romance I’ve read in quite some time!! It has college vibes, girl group, soccer, he falls first, & faith themes! I feel like you would really enjoy it!💗

[@lauradelgado9880]

The photos are adore !!

[@evaantoniia]

I have to say I`m never up to date on new releases :D except when I`m reading a series :)

[@makarenabarrera7184]

I loved the "Meee!"😂

[@NarnieeBish]

I love your picture boards!! Such a cute idea. Maybe be handy if you had a label maker that could make tiny little date stickers?

[@Julia-df8xx]

Gutted you don’t like Melbourne. To stop your faux birks from slipping off, wear them with Pilates socks (they have grippy soles). Works well 🙂

[@jami9579]

Wait OMG, my cousin got married at the same venue you did! It was absolutely stunning!

[@eustaquiozambrano2974]

Well done girl ❤❤

[@heatheroliver3609]

I highly recommend 1 Hotel Central Park in NYC!! It's very classy but with a funky/eco-friendly vibe. The restaurant in the main floor is great for breakfast and you can easily walk to central park - its like 2 min away.

[@sarahvic458]

Love your videos rach! I am currently in NY from Aus and it's so good but it is chaos absolute chaos 😂 we are staying in New Jersey and it is a lot quieter than the city

[@cathypham2334]

ooh you should come back to adelaidea again! i think in august there's an author signing at glenleng! not sure if you are also getting that over there but you should definitely come down here for that xx

[@berna_bookish]

Ohh! Are you going to meet Haley, Sara & Destiny when you go to New York or US?

[@isabella-mk1lr]

Girl since your coming to the US you should definitely meet sara, destiny, and haley!!!

[@gilliann3414]

If they still have it, take a handsome cab ride around Central Park and always DURING THE DAY!! lol they usually will also show you the bridge from Home Alone 2 and the Balto statue 💜

[@erindobson1429]

Tangled Up In You was a 5-star favorite for me!! Must read 🫶🏼

[@laynagilbert4450]

Short torso girls unite ❤ I didn't realise it gets that cold in Australia. I'm uk and it's been 14 degrees today . It's been really cold which is bad even for the UK! It's summer here or meant to be

[@samo6649]

It’s winter in Australia

[@sophiesliskovic212]

I just ordered from books by Jess and so call me influenced!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Rachel how are you happy Monday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@georgia523]

I'd recommend the new Frieda McFadden book, i liked it even more than the second in the series xx

[@NarnieeBish]

I'm a red face girly too! No tips.. Just feel ya!

[@annmariesloan8406]

I just bought the Katherine book. Haven't read it yet sadly. As i have a bit of a tbr. But the Ashley book looks good. Loved her "Once Upon A Con" YA series. My introduction to her

[@krisc1618]

You guys should definitely go to the top of the SUMMIT one Vanderbilt in New York it’s amazing!!! And has amazing views!! 7 street burger is great too especially if you love a cheesy greasy smash burger!!

[@madelynmahurin8357]

Does anyone have closed door mods for the Addicted series? Everyone talks about those books but I would want to skip the spice 🫶🏻

[@susansegal1808]

Omg I live in Boston. Will give u suggestions.

[@leslieannelehner2609]

Wait... Now I want to see more pictures of you as a child. You were such a cute kid!

[@jsmith8904]

Joey's at Kangaroo Point, cute name. 😄

[@moniqueferris1348]

Reading the new Frieda McFadden right now, it's one of the most predictable I have read but it might be a good end to the series!

[@MaisieVine]

I think ur philodendron brazil on ur shelf needs watering☺️😚🌱🪴

[@flynnv6030]

You forgot to talk about Perth 😢 I promise Perth is the BESSSSSSST 🥰

[@AprilShowers560]

It’s okay. I’m Melbourne born and bred and to be honest, I’m not a Melbourne girlie either. I’d rather live anywhere else. Melbourne is a hard place to live.

[@naomiking7518]

❤❤❤

[@annmariesloan8406]

The pictures flying across the shot. Like they don't want to be pinned😂

[@wendyvilla2904]

💚🖤

[@milou20-08]

What was the book called you were crying about again? I need to read it 🥹💖 love your vlogs

[@ashanique04]

Out on a limb

[@hanjisplanet]

Wait.. what was the book that made Rachel's cry? I NEED THE TITLE SO BADDDD

[@ashanique04]

Out on a limb

[@abbylouise9392]

I really wish they had the jumpers in stock! Wanted some bj and magnolia merch ahhh. 😅

[@jordynn777]

Hey Rach! Hannah Elise Is another amazing youtuber, who does quite similar content to you, and she lives in NYC! Highly recommended checking her out for recommendations and cute things to do in NY!

[@georgia9687]

Rachel please be careful about posting where you live. That townhouse complex is very obvious since it is so beautiful 😅

[@TaylorJ]

Rated the new FMF book 2 stars 😅 it was NOT IT

[@ashleycristineeee]

Just commenting to say, YES you need to read the romcommers! I got it as an arc and it was 5 stars. Definitely worth a shot 🩷
