READING VLOG | pumpkin spice, a big book haul, + ranting about a thriller

[@ZoeMikelStites]

I prefer longer vlogs because I watch them while I work, and honestly too many short videos makes me feel like my day takes forever, but longer ones are comforting? Like someone is just catching me up on their week. 🐶🐕‍🦺

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I so agree!

[@laurenmiller149]

Honestly same. I love using my library and Overdrive/Libby, but I request things b/c I'm in the mood for them, so when they come up weeks/months later, I'm less inclined to read them and then feel so dang GUILTY about not even starting, let alone finishing, them before they have to be returned... 😭😅

[@hudfamfour]

I am so glad I’m not the only one who does this! I definitely need to come up with a better method (without spending tons of money on books from Amazon or Kindle) because the library is just not working as a TBR list.

[@Zoe-lv2rq]

I am literally obsessed with you cat! Please feature them in future vlogs 🥺❤️ they are so beautiful and gorgeous. Both the hunting wives and a lesson in vengeance are both or my tbr and I can’t wait to read them. Ily ❤️

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’ll definitely be showing her more!

[@museofcoffee]

I honestly don’t mind the rain clips. For someone who has sever anxiety, your rain clips are really calming and they actually help a lot. Please don’t get rid of them!!!

I loooove using my planner, I use the Always Fully Booked planner from Little Inklings Design, she released the planners in October for the following year so like 2022 is out Oct 6th, and its tailored to bookish people! :) its fantastic!

[@KarenTheGreat602]

I use the Always Fully Booked planner by Little Inkling Design. I have the vertical and use the separate boxes for fitness, family and books.

Orphan X makes me think of The Equalizer because he actually did like a do you need help? ad thing and would help whomever asked for it.

When you mentioned Chicken Express I wanted to cry lol. I've been craving it so bad (my fiancé is from TX) but i don't have it in MO! Going to tx next month and I will be eating ALLLLLL the chicken express!!! 🐕

I’d love to see planner content toooo 🥰 I use a recollections vertical planner with weekly sticker kits, the monthly spreads are for budgeting, and I have a separate reading bullet journal!! I’m not great at bullet journaling so it’s pretty simple, but I love tracking reading and daily journaling too 😊

i’ve heard good things about that one!

[@bethk6022]

Thank you! I’m with you on The Hunting Wives. I’m a high school teacher and it’s a hard no, when it comes to adults and teens. Just no, no, no. I can’t get past plots that use that scenario. And lol with the migraine discussion. My head has been decided if it wants to go there the past few days. Caffeine definitely helps me. Hope you feel better!

[@stephinwonderland49]

I really need to read A Lesson in Vengeance, it sounds so good. As for the planning portion: I've been very lost this past year on the planning side. I will say that I love the Always Fully Booked planner by Little Inklings Designs (she also has a novel companion if you want the bookish stuff but not the planner portion). I know her preorder for next year's planner will be up sometime in October and then in December I think is when she will have the new version of the novel companion. I also have an ECLP for my sticker kits but i've been SO bad about not using my stickers but I'm still purchasing more stickers and washi (specifically from Sweet Bean Plans). I'm also finally getting back into my BUJO. And it feels SO good to get back into it all. As always love your content and have been binge watching all your videos since I've taken like 3 months off of booktube. xo

[@CaliGirlBeauty]

Loving the big glasses! They look great on you. I'm getting my eyes checked on Friday(it's been a few years) & will probably be getting a new pair of glasses! ♥

I agree with everything you said about A Lesson in Vengeance, also gave it 4 stars and also don't think the epilogue was necessary 🙈 I love the way you compare books to movies, as a huge movie lover, it really gets my attention, immediately looking up Orphan X 😂🐕

[@oliviareadsalatte]

honestly if I don’t compare them to movies or shows it’s really hard for me to even explain what a book is about or what I liked about it 🙈

[@amandalapenna4461]

I felt the same way about Hunting Wives! I felt incredibly angry over that book with the high school boys/older women and I DNF’d it. I was also upset bc I really anticipated it being my favorite book of the summer and wish a warning came with it!

[@princelyprincess1002]
