Reading 4 books + watch out y'all, I'm in my ✨romance era✨ I guess 📖🌻 WEEKLY VLOG

[@steelcutoaths3033]

When you started talking about the ants, my mind went directly to “aunts” rather than bugs. I was incredibly confused, but also empathetic because I have aunts I don’t want near my babies too 😂

[@surpriseitsus9622]

😂

[@shelbylynnyork]

I thought the same thing! I was like, girl who we hatin' on today because I'll hate her with you.🤣

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Oh my gosh, yes! And they when she said “sorry dad” I was like, let’s go fight his sisters

[@KaeCam0911]

Stopping half way through watching the vlog… to say I so feel this. Thanks so much for making mental health a priority. I struggle a lot also, and books are definitely my escape and bring me so much joy. So grateful for your videos ❤️

[@anao9765]

Love love love these long vlogs. I love to having these playing while getting ready for work, cooking, or working on hw. They are the best.

There's some stuff in atomic habits that I really really like and has been super helpful for me. I like these types of books and see them as "take what works and leave what doesn't" for all of them. I have ADHD/Anxiety/Bipolar disorder, and meditation when done the right way helps me a WHOLE lot.

[@ReadingNymph]

I really need to try meditation, after hearing you be so open about it, makes me feel more ready to stop thinking about it and actually do it

[@rainbowssunshineandbutterf2940]

I once had that happen to one of the books I was reading on my Kindle (when the book automatically skipped to the end every time I went to read it). What helped me fix that issue was clicking on the three vertical circles that appear on the bottom right corner of the book’s cover, and then choosing the “Mark as unread” drop-down option. I’m only sharing that tip in the hope that it helps you in any way! Thank you for being so special and for being such a light in our lives!!

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Thank you for the decaf recommendation ❤

Hi Olivia. I love your vlogs so much. You have a great sense of humor. Thank you for working so hard on your channel. If you like Michael Sealey guided meditation you may also enjoy The Honest Guys. They are very good as well. I just wanted to mention them, they are my favorite!!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I'll have to check that channel out--thank you!! 💛

[@annmariesloan8406]

Yup Coach and the Eden's who are Devney Perry. Elsie has currently 4 books in the series you are reading (the 5th book is coming out in October). And yes the Gold Rush Ranch series (4 actual books and a novella which falls after book 1). I met Elsie in April at LoveNSeattle in Seattle and will meet Devaney next year at RainCity also in Seattle ❤❤

[@annmariesloan8406]

Did you read Flawless and Heartless from the Chestnut Springs series? You read book 3.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Yep!

[@emmafilipkowski62]

I just love watching your videos. Makes me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend💛🌞🌼

[@whisperingchapters]

If you’re liking Elsie Silver and Devney Perry, I HIGHLY recommend Catherine Cowles! Her books are mostly romantic suspense set in a cozy small town. It’s great! Whispers of You has to be my fave so far.

[@bethdavies5715]

I just download Spotify on my kindle and I started listening to specific playlists that match the books that I am reading and omg I am enjoying the books so much more! Love your content so much!! ❤🐢🐕🐱

Atomic habits really made me adjust somethings in a very helpful Way. I went in thinking it was silly and I was wrong and it was helpful

Just saw today that Keurig makes a cold/ice coffee machine. Customer bought it today at our Wal-Mart.

[@HarvestLockwood]

"Do you remember when shows had 20 episodes per season?" YES AND I MISS IT SO MUCH. My go-to binge shows are Gilmore Girls and Supernatural because GG has over 100 episodes and SPN has... like 327 or something because it went for fifteen seasons LOL. The reason they're so bingeable is BECAUSE they're soooo long. By the time you finish watching them, you're already good to start them again because it took you four months to get to the end.

[@VioletFS]

I can’t even. You make me laugh so hard. Buffy vampire face. Dad shirt. Hey man! Omg lol You totally brighten my day. ❤😂😊

[@logantruesdell7975]

Hope everyone is doing well this week! What we all reading ? I am readind Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson. It's a really good sci-fi series. I was like another hour long video from Olivia, yes let's go! Hope everyone is going amazing! Be kind people! and have a good day on purpose.

Just now catching up on your vlogs, but I wanted to chime in and see your opinion on the rest of the Folk of the Air series, especially books 2 and 3. I loved the Cruel Prince but I could not get through the others.

Cinnamon cold foam just has cinnamon dolce syrup in the same vanilla sweet cream foam. Good chance they forgot the cinnamon dolce syrup because it definitely tastes different! SBUX store manager here so I see it all the time!

If you cut your hair I think you’d have wavy/curly hair, the curl pattern gets stretched for finer curls. I totally think you should do the cut and color- I think you’d love it. Really need those neuroplasticity tips because I think my therapist has mentioned that phrase before but have no idea of context or advice she gave 😂😅

Where do you get your stickers? I've been wanting to get Fall stickers cause I'm done with this heat. LOL

[@krisprepolec5616]

I finished Drowning yesterday. There were 2 scenes that felt were emotionally forced, but otherwise I really enjoyed it. Sometimes you need an adrenaline rush break from the cerebral. I felt the Falling was a spy/hostage rescue type adrenaline thriller. Drowning was pure disaster rescue thriller.

[@professordekarios]

i so get the ant problems. my house has been getting them every summer and it's torture

[@KarasBookshelf]

pinch me I’m DREAMING! hope you like atomic habits! It definitely changed the way I think about habits and is a book I will be coming back to in the future. also you are truly my favorite and plz don’t run in 102 degree weather lol ❤

[@kaydee3354]

The perfect ‘dad’ series, Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series!!!! You need to try it. Navy pilot/Jag lawyer turned special agent turned bookseller gets involved in historical mysteries in locations all around the globe. AND if you go audio, the same narrator who reads the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown.

Where did you get the clear cover for your kindle and the stand? I would love to get it for myself!

[@FrankieReads]

Have you ever tried the Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series by Robert Crais? I think you might like it. Honestly, Dad books are definitely a thing I've enjoyed for a long time. They're fast-paced reads and some have surprising depth. You might also like the August Snow series by Stephen Mack Jones or the Hap & Leonard series by Joe R. Lansdale. Lansdale also has some good standalones (I recommend Moon Lake). FYI - I'm currently listening to Orphan X because of you. 😊

I loved Atomic Habits. It's like, I'm old enough to know all of what it talked about, but THE WAY it breaks down "old" concepts and principles was very refreshing and motivating. I'm currently finishing Happy Place...it's been a nice summer read for sure! Between watching KZbin and reading, I honestly don't know what has me the most.
