SMALL FAVORS 🐝 🤭 please please.

[@Lillyjoy]

Thank you for explaining to me what is in thriller books, I’ve never read one but you just confirmed they are probably just not for me. I can’t wait to see all your upcoming Illumicrate books’ Their books are so pretty ❤

[@Steph_W]

This was such an enjoyable vlog to watch tonight. Thunderstorm, candle , & your fun video. It had a little bit of everything. Really liked seeing your thoughts on these thrillers. Your journaling with that music was very relaxing to watch. Zen. Thanks Liv!! Congrats on your computer!

[@livslibrary]

That sounds like the perfect setup! I’m glad you enjoyed! 🥹 I’ve already been loving how FAST this computer is! Definitely cuts down the editing time. 😅

[@rebekahmackenzie]

I'm so glad you liked The Housemaid. I just read the sequel last night and read it in one night, just like the first one. I rated it 4.5 stars where I rated the first book 5 stars

[@breannawilliamson9787]

I just wanted to let you know about bipolar disorder. This is something I deal with. What this disorder does is cause episodes of severe depression and manic episodes. A manic episode is where you are very high, but can be very unreasonable, not sleep and make impulsive decisions. It does not cause you to change your personality or moods quickly, gaslight or manipulate people. It doesn’t make you an evil person. Anyway. Just wanted to educate. lol. I loved this cozy vlog and I loved that book. I ate it up. 🤣

[@livslibrary]

Yes, I have a close friend that struggles with this! Thank you for sharing your experience. 🫶🏻

[@cherry_books]

The naturals is such an amazing series

[@littlelifeofbooks]

Ahh I loved this vlog! I felt like I was with you for a week. 🥰 and you are absolutely right about The Housemaid!! I was so invested in the characters too!

[@livslibrary]

Love you! 🫶🏻 It was a nice change of pace for a thriller!

[@comfycozycrochetwithtris1188]

This was so much fun!!! But u really wish you had read A Flicker in the Dark. It’s soooo atmospheric and good!! It felt like I was watching a movie! Love when backlist books are highlighted in videos. I can rarely keep up with new releases. So this was fun!! I just finished the naturals on audio and LOVED it!! Can’t wait to continue the series!!!

[@tierajade]

Okay - I've added The Naturals now! 😍 I'm always looking for a good Mystery Thriller - ty! Book shopping!!! 📚 ❤️ I totally get buying more at Target than what you meant to get! 😂 Love seeing the journal set up! 💖 YUM...homemade pizza!!! Yay for good thriller reading! 😃 Oh my gosh - that kindle item is so cute! 😍 Gorgeous Illumicrate book! Meow! 😍😍😍 🐾 I would love a cozy mystery vlog, if you ever find yourself reading a few, please! 🥹

[@livslibrary]

Ahhh a cozy mystery vlog would be so fun! I’ve been itching to pick one back up again so maybe I’ll have to do it. 🤭

[@normafromthenorth]

I want to see a vlog where u read popular romantasy along with your thoughts please x. Love watching ur videos. One of my fav booktubers btw ❤

[@vampirekeeley]

The Naturals and A Flicker in the Dark are my favs 🤩

[@livslibrary]

I‘ve still made it a point to read flicker in the dark before the end of the year!

[@Sam3liza1103]

My favorite Frieda books are Do You Remember and The Housemaids Secret!! All her books are so quick to read!

[@livslibrary]

I’ll have to check that one out next!

[@lilliewyant4086]

I really enjoyed your vlog. I love thrillers. I have read The Naturals and The Housemaid. You selected some great books. Thanks for sharing.

[@MLLatUtube]

I loved The Naturals and did end up binging the whole series. You are the first booktuber I've seen mention them.

[@livslibrary]

I can’t wait for the next one!

[@theteacherstbr]

Ahhh! I cannot wait for you to finish the rest of The Naturals! 😍 I just finished book 3, and it just keeps getting so much better!

[@livslibrary]

I’m so glad to hear it just gets better! I’ve been refraining from buying the rest of the series & just binging them. 🤭

[@jsalnut]

Fun vlog 🥰Please do a back list of middle grade novels 🙏

[@KendalsPages]

I've been waiting for this one🤩

[@livslibrary]

🩵🩵🩵

[@MollytheReader]

The exact vlog I needed Liv! I have been wanting some Mystery Thriller recs and this hit the spot!

[@livslibrary]

Oh yay! All of these are so different but good options. 🤗

[@Julesbooksandthings]

Really enjoyed this vlog.! Love the new computer.

[@livslibrary]

Thank you friend! 🤗

[@bridgetwalcott2939]

I’m soooo excited you got shark heart!!!!! I will be waiting patiently for your thoughts!! 🩷

[@livslibrary]

I’m so intrigued!

[@tera247]

I need to get to The Natural’s ASAP!! I love Criminal Minds and her Inheritance series so I’m expecting to be obsessed. Also, that Illumicrate edition has to be the prettiest sprayed edges I’ve ever seen.

[@livslibrary]

I think you would have a good time reading it! I know right, I just keep looking at it. 🤭

[@nupurdhoot615]

Ready or Not is such a good book. I just got done listening to the audiobook

[@livslibrary]

So glad to hear it! 🫶🏻

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog 📚☕🎥🍿🍄🧋🌷

[@katemurphy4985]

I read The Teacher by Fredia last weekend and finished it in one day, like you said not the best book in the world, I thought I had it figured out but small twist and it was just an easy , fun, rainy day book..

[@nicolestegall9556]

Strange Sally Diamond - so traumatizing. And I will never forget it.

[@livslibrary]

Oh no, now I’m scared. 😂

[@stephanieL]

Congrats on getting your first Illumicrate box! I actually skipped that one but the book is gorgeous. They actually have unlimited skips. All they ask is that you purchase at least 1 box within 10 months. If you don't purchase a box in 10 months they reserve the right to cancel your subscription. Fairyloot however only allows 4 skips per year.

[@livslibrary]

Oh that makes so much sense! Sounds like I had the 2 mixed up then. 😂 Thanks for clarifying that!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The villa is so good on audio!!

[@livslibrary]

It really was! Julia Whelan is always so good. 😍

[@angiemettler8770]

Cadbury cream eggs were my husbands favorite Easter candy!

[@livslibrary]

They’re the best! 😋

[@valeriezahorskischmidt5260]

Great video! Can you share where your planner is from? I love the layouts!

[@livslibrary]

littleinklings.ca/

[@Bookishbrunette]

I know you’ve been meaning to read Caraval, so maybe a Stephanie Garber themed video. Both her series are amazing ✨

[@livslibrary]

That may or may not be on my list! 😉

[@KendalsPages]

You're gonna send me into my thriller era and I'm not even made about it👏🏻

[@livslibrary]

The best era to be in! 👏🏻

[@soniajanatowski9620]

That book planner!! Where is that from? The Villa has been on my tbr forever. I actually found the hardback at the goodwill for $2.00. I also added The Naturals and I’m most excited for that read.

[@livslibrary]

She has the best journals! littleinklings.ca/ And wow $2?! What a steal! 👏🏻

[@bobbyshields4810]

I am curious where you purchased your reading journal. I enjoy your videos!

[@livslibrary]

It’s my favorite! ❤️ littleinklings.ca/

[@kays_library]

I’ve never read a mystery thriller because I don’t like murder scenes and I’m a pansy but you might have sold me to try and read one 🤣

[@livslibrary]

Not all of them have murder! 🤭 I have some I could recommend you for sure, they’re so addicting!

[@user-kj4fx6lw2x]

Oh, hey! What is the name of that song in your intro?

[@livslibrary]

Salt Lake Seagull by Chris Shards!
