[@LisePlansandJournals]

Your vlogs are my absolute favourite on youtube. The perfect balance of genuine and fun.

[@byamberburns]

I appreciate this so much 🤎 Thank you for watching!

[@mollyhoyer3356]

So happy to have you back a bit more regularly! Generally love to see your stuff, but it's also definitely filling a personal need of mine right now to have wholesome, calm fall content

[@byamberburns]

I'm so glad to have you here for this cozy season!

[@marythurmond5975]

I am so glad I found your channel. I love books and stationary within my own bubble❤️

[@byamberburns]

this channel is definitely for the book lovers!!!

[@BrynnD]

I love watching your vlogs. I hope you have a good week.

[@byamberburns]

[@fozzymup268]

I’ve been watching your vlogs for a while now Amber, and you are one of my favourites, simply because you are so lovely, and yes absolutely authentic! Thank you for your fantastic vlogs! I have to say, the food in this vlog looked so delicious! What was the dish with the bread on the side, in the new coffee shop you tried, it looked so good! I’d certainly be interested in seeing more of the meals you make, as I’d like to get back into cooking better meals for myself, if you’d be up for that? Looking forward to the next one. Best Wishes 💕

[@byamberburns]

This comment made my day! I've always loved your kind and thoughtful comments over the years and I'm so greatful to you for sticking around 🤎 That dish in the coffee shop was Shakshuka, not the best I've had but it was tasty! I'm definitely down to show more meals in future vlogs!!

[@firebellybella]

The music you chose was definitely a vibe. I always enjoy a good balance of yapping and B-roll because I'm usually multitasking. I'm overdue to read Ta-Nehisi Coates, so your book review made me want to. I've been on a hiatus from more challenging reads for awhile (that covid burnout is real!) but would love to dive more into personal essays and fictional novels that touch on subjects that I deeply care about. Also going to have to try to recreate that matcha tonic - looked so yummy! Have a great week!

[@byamberburns]

I think that book is a good segway back into more challenging reads. It's shorter and super easy to digest. Also highly recommend the matcha tonic, I'm obsessed with them!!

[@cierra631]

i loveeeee your vlogs!!! and i also love that you’re also a philly girl 💘✨

[@crysdixon4811]

Yesssss!

[@kittyreincat]

[@camizzle007]

Been binging your content! Always love it and followed you for years. Your content has always remained transparent and soothing! Love it! Keep it up 🙌🏻♥️

[@byamberburns]

I appreciate you so much 🤎🤎

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

What an interesting event! That's so cool

[@byamberburns]

It was really awesome!!

[@sanniyahsloan]

I noticed that too and someone told me that concerts and plays are cheaper overseas. Saw Beyonce in Amsterdam Club Renaissance area for a 3rd of the price I would have paid in the States. I can't see myself paying that much again for a concert 😅

[@byamberburns]

It's truly CRIMINAL!! Seeing Usher in Paris next year for this same reason haha

[@teedawson1218]

Love the book recommendation, love the music, love the content, I love you! Such a gem. Keep inspiring the plus size love in me!

[@byamberburns]

I appreciate you so much!! I hope you find some time to love on yourself this week! 🤎

[@anyah8365]

Love your vlogs! Keep going!

[@byamberburns]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@26vertigos]

Hi Amber! I’ve been a subscriber for about a month and I’m really enjoying your content. I also love books and I put a hold on the Coates audiobook at the library based on your rec 😊 Greetings from the Dominican Republic!

[@byamberburns]

I appreciate you so much for subscribing 🤎 I hope you enjoy the audiobook, it was really stellar. Have a great week!

[@homeishwithcorrin]

Love your vlogs, Amber! The salad and the bowl at the end looked good. I need to try them both. I loved “The Water Dancer” so I need to read this new one.

[@byamberburns]

I need to read the Water Dancer! It's been on my list forever. Thank you for watching 🤎

[@moderate9984]

Love how you treat yourself when you feel like it, your videos are great to watch, thank you ❤

[@byamberburns]

Thanks for watching 🤎

[@TondraGoode]

Love a good Amber vlog! ❤

[@byamberburns]

I appreciate you so much for watching!!

[@AustenTosone]

I have those days where I can't remember if I've already had my second cup of coffee and if I have a third...you already know that's what the Universe intended lol. I saw Book of Mormon in NYC and loved it! 💖

[@byamberburns]

Hahaha you're absolutely right, some days just call for ALL of the coffee

[@michuuu999]

u look so cute for the event! Go amber!!

[@byamberburns]

thanks love!!

[@Nissmellow]

I just started watching you and didn’t realize how close you are! You’re such an inspiration for me (a fellow 30’s year old) lol.

[@byamberburns]

Yessss!!! Appreciate you for being here!!

[@MsNicoleChanel]

Enjoyed the vlog Amber❤ I’ve moved to a new city & im getting a library card this week. ☺️

[@byamberburns]

YESSSS don't forget to add your library to your Libby account so you can use it for audio and ebooks if you're into that!

[@MsNicoleChanel]

@@byamberburns will do, thank you!

[@LisePlansandJournals]

33:42 wow this looks divine😍

[@byamberburns]

It was like a 3/5, definitely not my favorite shashuka in the city!

[@mollyhoyer3356]

@@byamberburns Thanks for keeping it real!!

[@courtneycorboy1081]

I heard about Ta-Nehisi Coates book The Message via an interview he gave on CBS Morning and added it to my library TBR. I'm going to be moving it up my list now that I've been reminded.

[@byamberburns]

Definitely one of my favorite reads this year!

[@NaheedaFlamer]

Of course love this vlog. I’m going to check out The Message. When you were cooking the lamb burgers, what did you use to keep them together….eggs or breadcrumbs? I want to try that meal: 🙌🏽

[@byamberburns]

Don't tell my mom but I never use a binder when I make meatballs lol I almost never have an issue with them falling apart!

[@akharrellwrites]

NEW SUBSCRIBER! Enjoy your honesty and love that you take yourself on single dates. I do it ALL the time! And I can't wait to get my copy of Ta-Nehisi's book. I've had it on order since October 6th but they keep changing the delivery date. Hmm. Oh, the last place you forgot was South Carolina. Happy reading.

[@byamberburns]

Nothing better than a good solo date! And YES thank you for the SC reminder from the book!!

[@AdventuresInPages]

Love the solo dates, I need to do more of that. I think I'm going to go by myself to see that new Andrew Garfield + Florence Pugh movie. I used to be really good about going out by myself when I lived with other people, but now that I live alone and have a dog, I do it way less.

[@byamberburns]

I still need to see that movie!! Nothing better than a solo date, I hope you treat yourself!

[@AdventuresInPages]

@@byamberburnsfunnily enough I still haven’t done this BUT I start a 5 day weekend on Thursday so I’ll be going.
