[@cassandralynnreads]

[@oliviasweeney6310]

This was such a fun vlog and you’re so sweet to do this for Katie. Such a thoughtful and kind idea, both the vlog and the trip!! ❤️ Also the way I gasped when you held up that blanket hahaha you made such quick work of it and it came out amazing!

[@cassandralynnreads]

i literally was a MACHINE crocheting that blanket 💀💀 i'm shocked now looking back too haha

[@mackenzie901k]

Ahhh so happy that this vlog is finally live!! I am so excited to see the trip from your pov hehe

[@cassandralynnreads]

LOVE YOU 💕 can't wait for our next trip! so happy we were able to meet as well!

[@jaedd_plans]

So glad I finally had time to sit down and watch this whole video properly. The only one of these books I've read so far is Half a Soul, and I definitely need to try the others! As usual, watching your friendship with Katie is so heartwarming. Also loved watching you and all the other girls just have fun together. I was totally trying to figure out what karate form you were teaching them lol it's been forever since I did any karate but I love catching a form in the wild 😆

[@cassandralynnreads]

i was literally so shocked at how much i loved all of them, so i certainly recommend them! we were doing the white belt taekwando form! except me and Caroline do different types of TKD so we were both confused 💀

[@goodmornindreamer]

I just love your friend ship with Katie. This was such a sweet video idea and surprise party! 🥰

[@cassandralynnreads]

so happy you enjoyed! 💕💕

[@cassandralynnreads]

🥺💕 thanks so much!!

[@Kittyzero13426]

This was such a great idea to do for Katie and it looked like she enjoyed it a lot and I hope she is surprised as well as thrilled you read some of her favorite books and enjoyed them. Happy reading!!

[@cassandralynnreads]

she was SO nervous when she saw the video was posted, but she was excited after she realized I loved all the books! 💕

[@isalvacaoclaro]

Your friendship is so sweet

[@cassandralynnreads]

🥺🥺💕 awe thank you

[@emilyfarmer5253]

This was so sweet!!! I loved the Starless Sea as well, the audiobook was super well-done!

[@cassandralynnreads]

YES the audiobook was phenomenal! 💕

[@elisabethprice4697]

I am so obsessed with the star blanket!!! I’ve been wanting to make one but I have to wait till I finish some other projects I started and also I don’t have any yarn for it but wow that green and brown color scheme is phenomenal!

[@cassandralynnreads]

oh thanks! I'm already tempted to make another one haha. let me know when/ if you end up starting one!! 💕

[@shonnarobertson6462]

What a fun vlog, and full of good books. I have started Half a Soul, and enjoying it so far, A Curious Beginning is a fun romp, and Starless Sea is sitting on my Maybe Next shelf waiting for me to get to it. I enjoy Erin Morgenstern’s writing, so looking forward to finally getting to it. Yona - I’ve read the first volume but at this point I’m not overly interested in continuing it. And your star blanket is gorgeous - now I really need to try one!

[@cassandralynnreads]

you totally should! it was such a simple pattern (and quite addictive haha!) 💕

[@shonnarobertson6462]

@ I’ll have to have a look through my wool (yarn) stash…

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

[@cassandralynnreads]

[@melsthemoon]

[@cassandralynnreads]

[@roumaissabenchalal7796]

This is just a love letter video, it making me emotional.. i want what they have your honour 😔😔

[@cassandralynnreads]

[@maddieh6065]

Loved this video! The drone shots while you were on vacay were sick!

[@cassandralynnreads]

[@wonderheythere]

OMG this is so much fun

[@cassandralynnreads]

💕 so happy you think so!

[@mamin8army770]

Hey Cass, can u pls tell what the books in the middle shelf behind u here 1:10:00 are

[@cassandralynnreads]

The Kingkiller Chronicles but the Gollancz Emporium editions! 💕

[@charlie_bharlie6795]

I've recently listened to "how you lose the time war" on audio and I thought it was really interesting, 4 stars. was confused through most of the book (and still don't really know what's going on) but I don't think you're supposed to

[@cassandralynnreads]

ooo good to know 💀

[@makennastanley]

what is the shop with all the beads (and stones??) that you went to?? That looks like a dream to me lol

[@cassandralynnreads]

crescent moon beads in eureka springs, arkansas!

[@narelleking9040]

Hi Cass. Can you please share the link for where you got those beautiful limited edition books from :) Also, love this ode to Katie vlog. Such a beautiful thing to do x

[@cassandralynnreads]

if you're talking about the two I hauled in the video, they were both from sellers on Mercari! 💕

[@narelleking9040]

@@cassandralynnreads Yes, I was. Thank you x

[@lil.dizzee4220]

Tell me why the surprising in Arkansas part made me cry 🥲 *emotional*

[@cassandralynnreads]

🥺💕 you & me both

[@danyelle7564]

As someone who also LOVED The Starless Sea and didn’t quite vibe with The Night Circus I feel super validated right now 😅😅

[@emmakgill]

Yes, I was the exact same one! I read the Starless Sea first and it's an all-time fav, but I literally could not get into the Night Circus.

[@cassandralynnreads]

OMG THANK YOU 💕 i feel validated by you being validated lol

[@silkestuecker]

519 / 5.000 What a great video and what lovely gifts and gestures. You really managed to surprise the friends and the cake is so great. I also really liked Eureka, a very atmospheric little town. The Erin Morgestern book has now been translated into German and has gone straight onto my wish list. I've written down the other two. If they aren't translated, I'll try to read them in the original. Thanks in any case for the inspiration

[@cassandralynnreads]

so happy you enjoyed and hopefully you end up loving the books!! 💕

[@emmie4628]

❤❤❤

[@cassandralynnreads]

💕

[@goharugreen2243]

You are so sweet

[@cassandralynnreads]

🥺💕

[@elisabethprice4697]

No but I read The Night Circus a year ago and hated it! I think it was just to much of nothing happening for me to enjoy!

[@emmakgill]

I DNF'd the Night Circus, but the Starless Sea is one of my favorite books of all time, so it might be worth a shot, lol. I think they are so different!

[@cassandralynnreads]

I agree with emma! so much action happens in the starless sea compared to night circus!!
