Hello ~ Hope you've all been doing well! Today's video is another dark academia themed reading vlog. I also go book shopping and actually end up going to a new book store, which was called Dillons. I had such a lovely week and a bit reading Jonathon Strange and Mr Norell. I hope you like the snippets of reading, baking and visiting the bookshop in this vlog 💛

Just...a masterpiece. Christy, I swear to whoever that you deserve every god damn piece of success and happiness you have. Your vlogs are the biggest, most lovely-magical-cozy-cute-interesting-fun videos out there. Thank you for another gem!

[@zinia6485]

Your videos just calm my soul.. Specially the editing and music..Love from India 💖

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so incredibly much 💛

Frolicking in the rain is one of those meme-able "Expectations vs Reality" moments. Just like taking a cold shower. When one is sweaty from exertion or high temps, the idea of a cold shower is so pleasing. But, inevitably, that "cold" becomes "lukewarm." Please take us with you when Dillon's bookstore opens in its newer location so we can see its "intended" splendor. ^J^

I had so much fun with our last dark academia themed video that I wanted to make another one!

Priory; Trade paperback Jonathan Strange; Paperback Trades are what you get initially when a big publication is released. Paperbacks are published (usually) a few months after Trades :) Loving the video Christy

[@mehdia5176]

I recently just started Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Really enjoying it so far. I’m on chapter 3, looks like you’re a bit ahead of me in the video. Happy reading.

[@christy-anne-jones]

It's brilliant! I loved it 😊😊 Hope you enjoy the rest of it! ~

[@julesm9081]

@@christy-anne-jones may I ask does the book have any violence? I want to try reading this its sounds so different to what I usually read but the magic part sounds interesting, however are there violent parts? Im not sure I would want to read it if there are and they're too detailed :(

[@hollylackner3481]

Seeing an upload from Christy really made my day! 💕 and now I also want to go book shopping for some magical reads 😂✨

[@christy-anne-jones]

Awwwh yay 💛💛

[@emeraldware5343]

Me too! I sat down expecting to watch one of her old videos and was thrilled to see a new one🤗

[@C_Beaty]

Netflix made a short series of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel. You may enjoy it!

[@maybekatie]

i love how you turned instant ramen into such a fun & fancy meal 💃

[@legendre007]

'Dark academia' is a genre? 😮 Oh, my. Something new to check out. 😊

[@christy-anne-jones]

It is! Or at least, it's an aesthetic within contemporary literature. Mostly books set in academic settings or themed around learning and academia, with dark undertones 😊

[@ghostlymyfriend]

This is my absolute favourite book. Her short story collection is also amazing and is set in the same world as JS&MN.

[@ginafercho4581]

I read this book earlier this year and fell in love. I was sad when it ended. I could have stayed in this world forever. So happy you enjoyed it :)

[@ricktimus73]

I remember it took my the longest time to finally read this book because it's size was so physically daunting. When I properly got into the story I ended up flying through it and now it's become one of my all-time favorites, as well. I've been meaning to re-read it for the last year or so, but I am once again daunted 😆. I'd recommend reading the Ladies of Grace Adieu, too, her collection of short stories, which include one or two set in the same world. She's such a brilliant writer.

[@PiinkyPeyed]

the asmr of your baking is one of my favorite things ♥

[@effiecris7668]

I love Piranesi so much! It was like a vivid dream I can still see, hear and smell everything when I think of it!

[@happyinfloral]

I loved watching you organize your bookshelves! 🤗 Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is one of the books I'm intending to read soon so it was nice to hear your positive review 💕

[@thecmhart881]

I loves go to the book store cuz it was my fav place to go and i`m excited to buy books!

[@shonnarobertson6462]

Recently discovered your channel and working through some of your back catalogue. I’ve had Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell sitting on my shelves for so long, but might try to actually read it this year! As a former Adelaide girl, I loved seeing your trip to Norwood, and must get to Dillons bookshop next time I’m over visiting my mum. Love the vlogs, they are so relaxing.

[@donadonz6293]

It's give inspiration to read new books 💗💗

[@christy-anne-jones]

Yay💛💛

[@sarasalamat1893]

Thank you for making these videos❤️

[@not.applicable.]

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell has been on my book list for a while.. ever since I saw the TV adaptation on Netflix years ago. It's a really great show and I highly recommend it if you're ever searching for something new to watch.

[@makigztt5726]

Omg the raincoat looks like the Coraline one!!

[@YourTrueShelf]

I loved this vlog! Out of curiosity, what size is your tbr? I love that you often buy a book then start it straight away - I wish I did that more often, as the excitement about the book is highest at that point 😊

[@patriciaspindle7960]

Hello, Christy! I just started this book thanks to your recommendation and I'm loving it ❤ Really, just having a lot of fun reading it and laughing at Mr Norrell's antics 😂 The one thing that I could possible complain about is the weight. Chunky book indeed! My wirsts get so tired after a while 😅 Love your videos they are so nice and soothing, thanks for providing us with a warm and safe space to talk about what we love most: books. Much love from Mexico 😊

[@orangesky666]

[@itdoesnthurtenough]

Hi Christy! As a Perth girl who loves to read and write I am so inspired by your videos! I’m considering doing a masters in creative writing and was wondering where you did yours and if you enjoyed it? Thank you for your videos 💕

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

I read Jonathan strange and Mr norrell a year ago. Piranesi is my current read

[@hayleypatricia9940]

Omg another Adelaidian!

[@tiffyj]

Potential SPOILERS for the ending of JS&Mr.N: I read "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell", because you mentioned it in other videos. And I loooved it so much. Thanks for this recommendation! Am I the only one who cried at the end? I know it isn't an ending that calls for tears necessarily, but idk... it was kinda bittersweet, at least imo.

[@Samreen0987]

Christy your videos are like magic...they can make my day instantly!😊....if the word glorious would be a person, it would be you Christy!🌸🤍

[@christy-anne-jones]

Ayyyyayayyyy!!!!

[@ranishah1]

You and your you tube has gotten me back into reading again and I am so grateful for that!!! I love books, and life…gets in the way! But taking time to read a really great book, fills my heart with joy!!! I recently listened to The invisible life of Addie LARue…..loved it!!! I want to get started on The Priory of the ORange Tree…actually physically reading it!! But wanted to ask if you ever read The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawke? Also looking forward to the House in the Cerulean Sea!!!

[@jub8891]

hi Christy- those eggs looked so good! also dillons norwood is a great store- have bought some mangas from there (^^)

Adore your reading vlogs! How many hours a day do you read?

You so cute I loved the vlog ❤️❤️ keep up the hard work 🥰🥰

[@joannab.8066]

4:37 I was just about to say how big it was! Here in Melbourne bookshops are quite small and cramped (at least the ones I've been to). Tbh I thought it would be the other way round 😅

[@donadonz6293]

First comment 💗 I really love ur vlogs 😭💗💗💗🦋

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so much 💛

[@ma_niz]

I read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell and I found it to be quite long-winded and obtuse. The pay-off at the end was minimal, though the writing itself was exquisite.

[@arwakhan7824]

Haha Christy I havent even moved passed the 'i wouldn't be caught dead with a camera in public.'

[@makii3656]

hii, I'm a new subscriber! this blog was really good, I enjoyed. Btw are you from Australia? Your accent is really beautiful! Love from Serbia

I really love this book, there is nothing like curling up with a cup of tea and FOOTNOTES!

[@katies8080]

1,000 page book, don't think I'll be adding that book to my reading list, but sounds interesting. How does a book like that get published. Haven't been to Dillons bookstore in ages. I've always wanted to go to Matilda's bookshop. I used to live in Norwood, it was the first flat I had lived in on my own.

[@seekeroftheultimatetruth6188]

Is wuthering heights a dark academia?

I know I'm a little bit late but where can I find the cookie recipe????

Do u have an online bookclub?

[@VictoriaPichel]

I might be the last one in the world to ask this but... what is actually dark academia? haha sorry! I see it everywhere, youtube, instagram but have no idea what it means! Love your harry potter reading glasses! cute.

[@luanegarcia1805]

Hello. Dark academia is a aesthetic, focus on aspects of academic life.

[@sandunikadissanayake2615]

I'm really sorry that I'm putting this comment. But can you please think about the way you end the video. That last frame with jelly fish really bothers me. I know it's just my fault and I'm sure not everyone feels that way. But I think having it at the end destroy all the nice cozy feelings that I get from your video☹️ I feel jellyfish is not connected to the video content. 🙈 Just don't get me wrong way. I absolutely enjoy your videos. I love them very much and they have helped me to get through some serious life phrases. ❤️
