[@NjIceTea]

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make these for everyone! We appreciate you :)

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@alyrica0505]

I very much enjoy when you show us what you are cooking (or eating). I love the "slice of life" style vlogs you do and watching you, Clay and Matilda do your thing makes me happy.

[@nnbk_fornow]

Oh I love your reading vlogs! It always helps with my own reading slumps.

Here are some K-drama recs: Crash Landing on You, It's Okay to not be Okay, Itaewon Class, The King: Eternal Monarch, and Goblin :)

Prepare yourself for the emotional trauma of Goblin😅 Still amazing!

When I was an au pair my hostmom used to make omlettes once a week for dinner and had a whole set up with toppings for everybod to choose from and the kids would mix the eggs, they called it "momlette"

K drama recommendations: Hospital Playlist and Its Okay to Not Be Okay

[@PeruseProject]

Oooo thank you for the recs! 🤗

[@13_sal_13]

​@@PeruseProject Hospital Playlist is more of a realistic drama following 5 surgeons doing their daily work at a hospital, so much heart, love and humour. The characters are real and older than your average KDrama story, so they are very relatable. You'll want to Karaoke after watching this show. Its Okay to Not Be Okay has a whimsical tone to it, has a bit of that classic, lets stare at each other for 5 min trope but its fantastic. Deals with mental health, grief and family dynamic. The characters will make your heart melt. Both are a 5/5 for me!

[@milkteaful]

GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!!!! Absolutely vouching for Hospital Playlist and Its Okay to Not Be Okay.

[@bookishhhuman1024]

Hospital Platlist is my fav drama 😭

[@raspberryzz]

I also recommend Run On! It's still ongoing with 2 episodes a week but I'm loving it so far :D

[@parkerrose3590]

That omelet looks delicious. These a other things I've added to omelets: Fresh mushrooms Tomatoes Thinly sliced cooked potatoes Spinach Cooked broccoli Putting it on a toasted buttered bagel is an added treat.

[@patrickthornton840]

I really must get around to reading The Midnight Library. I read another book by Matt Haig, "The Humans" last year and it was one of the best books I read all year.

[@aoifecorcoran]

I love these vlogs so much, the perfect way to relax :) Thank you Regan!

[@OverstuffedShelf]

Ohhhh the main actress in Cinderella and the Four Knights is the sister in Parasite!! She's a crazy good actor

[@alicemontori1662]

Thank you so much for these vlogs, watching them always relaxes me so much! I was in desperate need of a distraction because I have an exam tomorrow and I'm panicking a bit, so I'm really happy I can watch this 😊

[@PeruseProject]

thank you for watching!

[@janessarathgeber4943]

I also was in a reading slump since the end of November (and am kind of relieved I wasn't the only one :/) and since then just finished my first book yesterday! The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender upon your recommendation. Happy reading!

Oh my god, The Crown is SO good! It just gets better and better every season, and it's such vibes honeslty. I'm trying to do the same with my night time routine, it's so easy to let it all bleed together and then you don't feel relaxed before bed. That's a great mindful resolution.

I love your reading vlogs so much!! It's such a mood, very chill and entertaining❤️🥺

[@harisahenderson7921]

Loved the midnight library! Your weekends look very similar to mine. I love that you had three books as options since they're shorter than what you typically read.

[@kn95xo]

finally finished it! miss watching regan's vlogs! i find them so entertaining. ^^ tbh, i've been distracted by a lot of stuff in 2020 that i've sorta steered clear of booktube and rarely watch uploads by my fave booktubers. that's why i've decided just now that i'm gonna make it a resolution this year to watch all of regan's weakly reading vlogs that she uploads this year because like i said, i just find them very entertaining and relaxing. ^^

[@LiteraryLDawn]

Had a bad Monday. Came home to a Regan vlog. Now having a good Monday.

[@michel_lynn]

Cinderella and the Four Knights is sooo extra and I love it. Kdramas just hit different. ✨

[@ericacapete]

I read three books by Silvia Moreno-Garcia last year, starting with Gods of Jade and Shadow, and she became my favorite author. All her books are so different but so captivating and well written!

[@sarahgentz8983]

I always put my phone away and read for at least an hour before bed! I can’t sleep at all unless I do that, no screen time at all!

You! I blame you! I watched Romance is a Bonus Book because I was bored and you were watching it and now I can’t stop with the kdramas.

[@christinacampbellbooks]

Definitely want to read The Midnight Library soon. I have it reserved at the library. It sounds absolutely wonderful!

[@mixedbooktape]

I was feeling a little bit slumpy near the end of December and into the first bit of this year, so I picked up a contemporary romance, a genre switch from the two fantasy books I was listening to/reading and it helped a lot. I read "Red, White, & Royal Blue" in a few days. Then I felt more ready to go back to the other two books. I'm listening to "Reaper at the Gates" right now as part of my re-read of Ember and I can't WAIT to read SKY, even if part of me is dreading it a bit. Also want to say I'm so happy to see a new vlog from you. I've missed them!

[@sofiaribeiro2349]

I love Gods of Jade and Shadow, it was one of my favourite books of last year! So nice to have your reading vlogs back!!!

I loved the Midnight Library and you did a better job than I would of summing up why its so good. I am currently obsessed with the farseer trilogy and am on the second book. My goal was to finish it this year and I may finish it before my birthday but not mad at it! And I hope this busts your slump! I cannot wait to read sky beyond the storm I love that series so much as well!

[@juliababyjenjenny8485]

I adore the Crown too! One of the best recent shows I've watched. I'm in Season 3 right now, about halfway through. All 3 of these books are on my TBR. But I've only read the first book in Sabaa Tahir's series. My plan at some point this year to binge read the whole series.

[@clareseymour6227]

Gods of Jade and Shadow has been on my TBR for awhile now and watching your experience reading it has made me even more excited!! I’m also super interested in reading The Midnight Library! And I’m DYING to read A Sky Beyond the Storm- the Embers Quartet is one of my FAVORITE series❤️ That omelette looked amazing 🤩 and haha I love rage emailing my representatives

I think you'd like the kdrama W. Here is the synopsis: Fictional webtoon entitled W is written by its legendary author Oh Seong-moo which begins to function on its own, like a different world existing there. The story-line of the webtoon starts when a handsome and intelligent boy Kang Chul who is also skilled in shooting becomes famous as he won a shooting competition. But this fame is interrupted when the unknown Murderer massacres his family, and he is erroneously accused of the crime. Yeon-joo is the daughter of the Oh Seong-moo, author of the famous W. A fan of her own father's work, she goes to her father's studio to investigate his sudden disappearance. There, she is pulled into W's alternate universe.

I ADORED Gods of Jade and Shadow. I was so hooked and so in love with the characters and the main relationship as well as the story. I would kill for a second book but I don’t know if that’ll happen. Something about it was so different and I loved reading about Mayan folklore which is something I wasn’t familiar with at all.

[@ChapmanCS3]

The William Manchester biographies of Churchill are so freaking good. I started reading them when I watched The Crown at the start of quarantine. They got me through 2020.

[@luvBB4lyf]

Your vlogs are always a breath of fresh air ❤️ if you enjoyed Matt Haig's writing I think you'll also enjoy his book 'The Humans', it's about an alien who lives on planet Earth, I think you'll get many great messages from that book too. If you're in the mood for some mental health nonfiction, I would highly recommend his book "Reasons to Stay Alive", it's short and it chronicles Matt Haig's journey with mental health during some of his worst times. Personally I read it in a time of my life when I was struggling and this book became so dear to me. Can't wait to read the midnight library!

[@leilanixochil]

Gods of Jade and Shadow was the first book I read this year!!! It was sooo good!

[@Gryffindorsrock]

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of my fave authors rn!! all of her books i’ve read so far have been amazing. Untamed Shore especially is a really fun noir mystery/thriller! She also has another book coming out this year that she said has a similar feel to Gods of jade and shadow

I felt the same with the midnight library. I didn't connect with Nora as a person, but with the meaning and the message of the book 💯💯💯

[@gemzreads]

I enjoyed reading The Midnight Library and was also quite moved at the end, but I feel like many people are not critical enough about the book. The characters, especially the librarian, are too often talking in platitudes and in the lives that Nora discovers she is always really successful in one of her interests. As an example, I think you could also regret not being in a band anymore because you miss the people and making music, not because you think it would be cool to be a famous rock star. But that’s just my opinion of course!

[@ninjasonic8921]

You have a point there! But maybe that shows how those weren't actually *her* choices in the beginning. I bet there is a life where she stayed in the band and they weren't successful. But that's not the life she was thinking about. She was thinking about the successful band life because that's what the drummer always talked about. So she got the book/life she was thinking about. Same with all the other lifes where she is successful. It doesn't mean that in all her other lifes she is successful but rather that she chose those books/lifes to impress other people (her father wanted her to be a famous swimmer, etc). I think you really see that.

[@melissateodola1887]

I just finished Gods of Jade and Shadow. I loved the ending. I was so sure she would stay, but I want more from this world.
