I am a rifle person too - when I heard riffle in an audiobook this last year I thought, that is not how you pronounce it! 🤣 In 2022 I saw the word clandestine in SO MANY BOOKS, and it is not a word I've used/said much in my life. I would tell a co-worker every time I read it, but unfortunately didn't keep track of the books.

[@ReadingWryly]

How funny! I wonder if the coincidence says more about the word, or the books we choose?

[@karaa2507]

The books were all over the place in genre - it was so bizarre imo!! 😊

[@ladylovesteadreads]

Happy birthday! If a book uses "released a breath they didn't know they were holding" I'm immediately annoyed. NYC is my favorite city. Loved this vlog.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! Oh yeah, that’s an annoying one. And it’s shockingly used far too often!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Congrats on the new job! That’s so exciting!!

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!

[@wendypridmore2005]

Dead of winter sounds good. Congrats on your new job.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!

[@shaleyflowers]

I'm sorry that you've been sick and I know what it's like when your mind goes a little wack from having brain fog too where u believe for the second you're in the movie or the book leave the world behind I definitely been there maybe not with that movie but definitely been there where I thought I was in the horrific situation for a second hope you feel better!

[@dessertcomes1st]

Loved watching your candor shine in this vid, Elizabeth. More please. And the ‘Cinematic’ mode flatters you.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!

[@cozy_jesss]

Congrats on the new job!! That is so awesome Elizabeth❤

[@ReadingWryly]

Thanks, Jess!

[@CathyHarrison-bd8vi]

Nice video. I’ve never been to NYC before, so thanks for taking us along on your trip. Also nice to see your hubby. I’ve never seen him before. Glad you’re feeling better. Bet your doggies were glad to see you guys

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! ❤️🙌🏻 Im realizing it’s been awhile since Jordan was in one of my videos! I was trying really hard to not nag Jordan’s buddy (who was watching the boys) to send me pictures while we were gone! lol. It was a welcome reunion.

[@literarylove123]

Happy belated birthday & congratulations on the new job!

[@Andreasloveofreading]

You were in my neck of the woods! I love NYC! Although It can be overstimulating for me . Hope you’re feeling better!😊

[@ReadingWryly]

Overstimulating is a good word for it. ❤️🙌🏻

[@debbiea.2923]

Congratulations on your new job! You’re really going to make a difference for families. I’m sorry you were sick! Lately it seems my colds and whatnot will take a while to ramp up, and yet then will last forever.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! I think maybe all of our immune systems got a little fragile during isolation and now we are paying the price. 😂

[@debbiea.2923]

@@ReadingWrylyThat makes sense!

[@symphadventures5358]

Happy belated birthday, just so sorry you were ill for it. Here in the UK, we have had an awful cold going around and sounds very similar to what you were experiencing. Many congrats on the new job, you sound very excited for what the future can bring which is lovely of you to share. A real shame about Anna O, the concept sounds really intriguing but I think I'll give it a pass for now. I too read Dead of Winter for Wicked Winterween and loved it even though I clocked what was going on early as I was intrigued to see which ways it would go to deflect and indicate, in my opinion, it did not disappoint.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! You’ll be alright passing on Anna O. How funny! I wonder how many people everywhere were also reading Dead of Winter at the same time as us!? Impromptu buddy read!

[@symphadventures5358]

@ReadingWryly Sneaky buddy read 🥷 I saw quite a few people on Booktube and Bookstagram reading it as well as Gabby in their vlog, a perfect book for the event ❄

[@staceygiosi3878]

This was such a great video!! I enjoyed it so much and being I live in NY I loved how much you enjoyed it !! Happy Birthday 🎉

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! I love New Yorkers! ❤️🙌🏻

[@nela_happysoul]

Happy b day my Serbian sister. I hope you have a wonderful and healthy year.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!! 🙌🏻 You as well!

[@literatelyalees]

That’s amazing!! Congrats on the new job 😁👏🏻

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!

[@meridithcurran3092]

I’ve heard that ABA Therapy is starting to turn around a bit and adopt a more affirming approach to autism.😃 We turned it down for our son, but if we had a therapist like you I have no doubt it would’ve been a great experience. I hope it’s a great fit! Congratulations! Also, I loved this vlog. It was so much fun.😃

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! Nothing about it has given me the icks. We are very sensitive about respecting the kids dignity at all costs and using the least intrusive form of prompting.

[@meridithcurran3092]

No doubt. That’s exciting and encouraging.

[@kylieweitz]

Happy belated Birthday!!!! 🥳

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!

[@michaelmyerslovesbooks]

Congrats on the new job! Bummer you were super sick for your fab NY Vaca 😢.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! And bummer is right!

[@jessicafoster8738]

Late comment sorry but Darcy is Aussie! Woo woo! But yes, growing up we had a lot of US TV. Plus I feel like Aussies would be less into cosy horror, we seem to like thrillers better.

[@ReadingWryly]

❤️🙌🏻 nice! I actually noticed that after the fact. Better to know, thanks for the info!

[@tammyripp998]

I had high hopes for Anna O & didn't like it either. It's never good when you guess the ending before the ending. 😞 Happy belated birthday!

[@ReadingWryly]

Yeah, it was kind of a bummer. And thank you! ❤️🙌🏻

[@kitkatkc9]

46:05 “I know people are weird about that” 😂 I’m not weird about the Hoboken part but I am about people saying New York when they mean New York City 😂 ny is a state not a city, from upstate ny and ny is full of country, small towns, and farmland, but ppl always cut the majority of the state out

[@ReadingWryly]

That makes sense!

[@Amber_vest]

Do you have a Patreon? I’ve been loving your videos

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you so much! I don’t currently, but it’s never out of the question!

[@lari3197]

happy belated birthday my mom and you are birthday twins

[@ReadingWryly]

How awesome! Thank you! And happy birthday to your mom as well!

[@susiekidd9183]

Fun vlog, as always. “My husband and I’s 👀 fifth time to New York”…? Did you just make up a new pronoun? 😂

[@ReadingWryly]

I guess I did. 😂 maybe it’s a Texas thing? Idk where I got that.

[@amandalamb2347]

On words that give me a feeling... Briitish authors use "disorientate" vs. our American "disorient." This is more of an ethnocentric bias on my part. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments, Elizabeth!

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you! And I always notice that word too! Lol

[@andreaguess9718]

Trigger words released a breath they didn’t know…… You all know how it ends because it is EVERYWHERE and drives me crazy.

[@ReadingWryly]

😂 I try not to let that one get to me, but you’re right! It’s everywhere.

I had a 5 star already this year! Neverworld Wake. Give it a try if you haven't read it! 😃

[@ReadingWryly]

Nice! I’ve not read it. Thanks!
