THIS IS SUCH A FUN IDEA

[@ArielBissett]

Will and Mia thank you!!!!!!

[@TheIrisMessenger]

ariel giving me the content I WANT and NEED

[@chiyokotakeda309]

The anxiety of having to choose a card is real

[@lavanyak925]

yessssss!!!!! and I thought I was the only one 😂

[@JordanThatblondegirl]

Can I just say that I love the aesthetic of this video?? Like it’s very lowkey but it still all goes together and is so comforting.

[@gracieyeehaw]

"I was up to 4am last night" same lmaooo

[@ThePerksOfBooks]

This was such a genius idea, please continue to make more of these! :)

[@jamieontheroadtolove]

not gonna lie, your laugh is one of the happiest laughs i've ever heard and it's a delight to me everytime i hear it. please never stop laughing! 💖

[@apurplepaintingunicorn3363]

This is a great idea! I chose the first card and I've been wanting to read On Writing for years. It's just been sitting on my shelf all this time. I feel especially compelled to read it now. Thanks Ariel!

[@ArielBissett]

this is your moment!!! 🔮

[@rachelg8272]

Can you do a video on tarot cards, I know nothing about them but I'm curious

[@alexasplace]

Rachel G please😍

[@oliviacopeland5698]

i absolutely loved this idea! would love to see more tarot book recommendations!

[@BetweenLinesAndLife]

Olivia Copeland If you like more of these, the channel Ola Magick has a whole series on it :) they have a playlist available on their channel if you like!

[@aless.andra9620]

"Macbeth" can be a perfect fit for Five of Swords - ambition, power and victory over own values and everyone's well-being. "Flowers for Algernon" for Three of Swords - sudden change and painful revelation of the truth about life, loss and discovery of yourself

[@rita6276]

Viktoriia Green i read flowers for algernon just a few weeks ago! it was such a beautiful story and the ending was amazing hehe

[@aless.andra9620]

@@rita6276 I'm glad you read and enjoyed it! I read it in 2016, and it was the book that made me cry the most I ever cried because of a book! And its concepts were so strong, that to this day I still think about it from time to time.

[@i.need.a.new.nickname]

That's weird, flowers for Algernon was the first book I thought of when she described that card

[@ainsleyimparato]

I'm kinda freaked out. Like I picked the five of swords, and I'm currently reading Hunger Games.

[@kagaminek]

you're the most fun and creative person on booktube. I love your videos, they're never boring!

[@sodacan412]

So I “chose” the middle card and I just can’t believe how fitting it was! I work in theatre and one of my first jobs out of college this past fall was working on a staged production of Tiny Beautiful Things. It was the show that introduced me to some amazing people and now with everything going on, I won’t be returning to that theatre company ever again. I’m really just in shock with just how much that card spoke to me and the crazy coincidence of your book choice. Just wow.

[@jovana6195]

You should turn this into series on your channel. It's sooo good!! Loved it! I picked 2nd card and it was 100% correct. Loved the rec, I can't buy that book in my country, but there is also a podcast 'dear sugar', by Cheryl, which I love, and used to listen to almost every day.

[@carapatel2214]

love this concept. I thought all of the books fit so well to the cards that came up. I picked the emperor and that fits scarily well into how I'm feeling at the moment, as someone who needs structure in my life.

[@chchch4836]

I chose the middle one and when you started explaining it being about painful change/heartbreak, I was really shocked (I probably looked like this at the screen:😧😧) But when you started breaking it up more, saying it could be changing something in your routine, I was honestly really relieved😂. And I was really productive today and am trying to incorporate things in my daily routine or at least doing them more often, as I have the time and motivation now😊 I loved this video idea (and the gorgeous tarot cards of course) and would love to watch more like this one🤗 Good luck with the gardening!🌻

[@cypresswilde]

The fact that the second card resonated with me, I really needed this, much love❤️

[@LenaJohnsCobain]

This is SO MUCH FUN and a great idea!! ALSO, I picked the third card and have JUST a week ago finished rereading The Hunger Games!! Blew my mind ;) Please keep making these, loved it!

[@cacaoma]

i was immediately drawn towards the left card which turned out to be the emperor card and i resonated with it so much ?? stephen kings's book sounds like a perfect book to read right now and i'm downloading it for me and my boyfriend (he's a fan of stephen king). thank you, ariel! i really liked the way you interpret your cards and i'm sure we're going to enjoy the book!

[@vickydeezombies]

I watch booktube and tarot readings all the time. Love having them together!

[@gracieyeehaw]

Also, this is like really cool!

[@vitoriaassuncao7716]

Maybe you could do a video about the whole hunger games trilogy, when you´re done rereading it. It´s still my favorite series to this day, due to the fact that I´ve reread many times throughout the years, and it only grows on me each time I revisite. I love that more people are rereading the series now or maybe rediscovering for the first time, because it shows that this series really stands upon time and remains relevant nowadays. I would be upset if these books were forgotten or completely dismissed under the premise that "it was just a teenager hit back in the day" because they aren´t just this.

[@acrpug1380]

I ADORE this video! What a great idea 🥰 thanks for bringing this wonderful content during this strange time. The one good thing Ive found about this time is that I am reading a lot more than normal and I’m really feeling grateful for that. It’s helping me feel connected to the human spirit at a time I feel disconnected to the world.

[@antoniaelwig3136]

I picked the Emperor and im currently reading a Stephen King Book...

[@marinemmmj]

Wow this is such a great concept! I loved this video! I chose the middle card, and Tiny Beautiful Things sounds like a book I'd really love, so I added it to my tbr 💛

[@clx4830]

Such a beautiful video Ariel ❤ I'm always so happy to see your new videos pop up in my subscriptions!

[@leahnpatton]

I loved the video! I am ALWAYS caught between the second and third choice. I rarely choose the first. Loved all your recommendations

[@maryvandehei]

When you said at the beginning about loving the randomness of picking a card- I love it to. But I love the synchronicities that never fail to present themselves in readings that I do for myself and other people. Truly a magical tool!

[@booksteacats1009]

This was fantastic! I picked the first card and was shocked when it was all about stability and structure, because just last night I was thinking about my own lack of stability right now and how it has affected me so much. I've also been meaning to read On Writing and after this video, now feels like the perfect time to do that. I loved this idea and would love to see you do it again! Also, thank you so much for everything you're doing right now. It really does make my day a lot better when I watch your videos

[@lornaross4971]

As a fan of both good book recs and the tarot- you absolutely nailed this! Your recs were so well considered and thought out in relation to the cards! 🥰 would love to see more videos like this (and may have to start using my cards to pick out my next read hehe!)

[@hopedavis285]

I loved this! I didn’t know anything about tarot before watching, and I think this is a really unique way of recommending reads.

[@bellecanread]

i loved this idea so much! the middle card was a little too relatable 😅, but i love how you mentioned that there’s a comfort in knowing how many people feel like they need a change their life 🥺💞.

[@jasminegonzalez6888]

Loved this idea! Your videos are the highlight of my days! I hope you make more videos like these!!

[@keelys.2966]

i actually almost cried when you were reading out the description for the card i picked, it so perfectly fit where i am in my life at the moment. and the recommendation was a book i'd been wanting to read for a while now. thank you for an awesome video ❤️

[@hoatadecarti]

i loved this video concept and also the fact that my favourite book ever showed up for the card that i felt most drawn towards, hope you'll make more of these

[@rajusuke1569]

Loved loved loved this !!!! I want more of these Ariel , you're the best❤️

[@elyssa2425]

I loved this video!! Your videos have been such a calm and soothing presence lately and this one especially was the visual equivalent of sitting in the window on a cold and rainy day with a book and a blanket 💛

[@ParadoxKismet]

I never really watched booktube and only just found you recently. I love watching your videos. I really enjoyed this one! And all of them. So funny - I picked the 3rd card and I am a person who has never read Hunger Games. I know unbelievable. But over the weekend I ordered the series because it popped up a few times randomly recently and my co-worker mentioned it and how much she liked it. I think it's funny I just decided to get it and then I picked the card related to it! I love your positive spirit and enthusiasm! It helps. Great content - books and house makeover. Thank you!

[@mallorystanley6094]

this is my favorite video I’ve seen in so long from anyone on KZbin! I just love this idea. I was immediately focused on the third card and waited patiently for the book recommendation. I have been thinking about rereading The Hunger Games for so longggg I feel like this is such a sign wow

[@fimaloh7014]

Thank you so much for your videos! I love watching in the mornings before my day gets busy :)

[@niikacaine427]

Love love loved this video! Such a wonderful idea. You’ve brought a smile to my face during these trying times and for that I thank you!💗

[@neverendingsadventures]

This was such a fun and unique video! I love it! It's a breath of fresh air in these trying times (which is what we need.)

[@MarmiJournals]

this was suuuuch a good idea! I feel like i really connected to the first card and the book is actually soooo perfect, I always search for memoirs from artist's to stay inspired and mainly to stay patient and resilient on the path to becoming an 'artist' so yeah thank you for this I would loooooooove this to be a lil series I loved watching it alot

[@t0nniee97]

I have also been interested in tarot cards and readings lately, so this video was a lovely surprise. You always get the coolest ideas!

[@rosiebrown7761]

I LOVE this concept!! Please do more of these videos 🙏

[@alynguz.6164]

This is what I needed during quarantine...I love your videos Ariel! Keep up the great work!

[@taryn3182]

Chose the second card and holy heck was it spot on for me in my personal life! But I also really loved the context you brought to it by our worldly current events! I was almost gonna toss aside the Cheryl Strayed recommendation when you mentioned it in one of your last videos, but now I’m definitely picking it up!!! Thanks for the vid 🙂✌️

[@studyfolia842]

I love how people I admire actually does tarot when I'm just getting into tarot myself. I love this idea! Please do more of it

[@Nowtmodest]

This is my new favorite concept. Love this, very enlightening! Would be very happy if you did another video like this in the future :)

[@carlylanning826]

I was super inspired by how creative this idea was! Thank you so much for filming it for all of us!

[@mariajosepenayo4874]

I really enjoyed this concept!! I picked the second card and thought about The Perks of Being a Wallflower for some reason

[@alittlewriterem]

This is such a unique way to recommend books!! I picked up the Cheryl Strayed memoir after you mentioned it in one of your previous videos, and I’m SO excited to read it ✨

[@ElGreco1541]

I really enjoyed this video, Ariel! Very interesting recommendations. I am definitely going to read On Writing soon. I would love to see another tarot card video like this from you in the future :)

[@evahanson5424]

I know I’m getting to this video a couple years late, but I really love this idea and would be super excited to see more!! I picked the last card, and while I’m not sure how the card specifically fits into my life, the book recommendation is perfect! I just graduated college, and so I am finally trying to rebuild a habit of reading for fun. An action packed re-read is just what I need right now, and unfortunately the subject matter is still very applicable. After the past two years, I’m in need of a momentum boost - a reminder about the importance of working together, to keep fighting unjust systems however I can

[@purplebuddietia]

This is was such a great idea! The card I chose felt eerily relevant! Thank you for the recommendation!!

[@kusalipali1004]

This video left me in suspense the whole time! I wasn't into tarot before but I am now. 🔮

[@j.j.225]

this is so so so up my alley i’m STOKED thanks ariel

[@beingandtreeing2979]

This is such a great idea for a video! I chose card number 3 and its meaning really made me think about how I have been approaching recent events as well as successes and failures in my life. And since I've been planning to re-read the Hunger Games series for a while now that fits just perfectly! I also would like to do a similar video, I will credit you of course! I recently got a beautiful new tarot deck and I think a video like this is such a nice way to get acquainted with the cards.

[@monaslittleuniverse2228]

I LOVE THE IDEA SO MUCH. It's so well done 💕

[@rebeccamononen4132]

I really enjoyed this video and the concept is fantastic!!!!

[@paulahevia6335]

I loved this video so much!! Very interesting and fun 😍😍 please do it again!

[@mandeeleis]

This is so cool Ariel! Thank you for making such creative content. Please do this again 🙏💕

[@cloudanimal5209]

Oh yes!! I want to read tiny beautiful things already since watching your books to binge video!

[@user-du7jy8kr3p]

Ariel you make me so happy :) Thanks for all you great content ♡

[@madisunmusic]

PLEASE do more of these videos, i adored this!

[@ellalin24]

Liked the video very much, love the deck you have! And the reading was also somewhat accurate! We want more similar content! 💕

[@thaliawalia]

This was so cool! I chose the middle card, and as soon as you started describing the "breaking up" I totally knew it fit. I graduate from university in a month, which looks super different now that I'm home. And then it gets even weirder, because the book you picked is Tiny Beautiful Things, which was the very first book for fun I started in university, during my first week! I put it down halfway through because it was too emotionally intense for that point in time, but I've always intended to pick it back up and now, I feel like this is maybe a way to bring some sort of closure to my university experience!

[@Amanda-vg6bj]

I’m already reading tiny beautiful things because of your recommendation from a video, and I picked the middle card and it was that book! Loving the book so far by the way so thanks for the rec xx

[@ninabayne]

HOLY SMOKES! i have never really been a tarot card kinda gal but even this little reading was so dead on to what i’m going through right now. how wild! anyway love that you’re getting creative ariel! sending lots of love

[@twitchywitchygrrl]

This was such a cool idea and I'd love to see other videos like this! I picked the third card and I think the recommendation was spot on because I've been in a revolutionary mood for a little while now and I know rereading The Hunger Games will make me even more passionate about a potential rebellion, as well as just being a fun read :-)

[@cerys7288]

i LOVE this idea and once u started saying what the second book was about i was shook!! (ordered it immediately)

[@audreyjohnson9646]

Awesome video!! Please do this again... maybe monthly? Loved it!! 💗💗

[@RandomHoodieNerd]

tarot is always such an enlightening experience because the cards really choose you. at first, it was the middle card that strongly stood out to me but somehow I kept being drawn to the third, a little weaker but I couldn't ignore it. when you started explaining the meaning behind both I nearly cried because it was too real to me - the second was very obvious and immediately fitting but as I was listening to that part of the video I started thinking about how I felt like I was no longer following my own principles and values as closely as I used to and it's been bothering me a lot and then you described the third card and it made me Realise a lot. I've also strangely been thinking about the hunger games a lot, and was considering rereading the series already but now I definitely will. i absolutely love this video idea because it combines something i've loved for years (reading) and something i keep being drawn to (tarot) - actually feeling inspired to get my own deck! i've been watching your channel for years now and your content is always excellent. i especially love seeing how passionate you are about what you love. wasn't planning to leave a huge comment but this video had a surprisingly deep impact on me and i just wanted to share my experience and thank you for making it :)

[@sonjawilhelm4318]

I love this idea! Would definitely love to see it again!!

[@filipacarvalho173]

This might be my favorite video on booktube! I love it!! Also, your tarot deck is stunning *.* Added Tiny Beautiful Things to my tbr!

[@natashamarie2952]

Cool video! The Hunger Games was such a good recommendation for that card. I also recently reread the series and was surprised by how much I loved it. I knew I would enjoy it, but I got so into it!

[@MariaManitarenia]

A great idea! and the cards are so beautiful!!

[@StJimmyWhatsername1]

This was so much fun! I picked the third card, and (without much knowledge of Tarot) I really feel you picked a good recommendation for the explanation you gave of the card. I have also been thinking about rereading The Hunger Games for so long now, that it was so fun that that was the chosen book for that card!

[@tasminxfatodu]

Amazing idea! Combing two of my favourite type of videos

[@dimpledarling55]

I loved this video concept!! I chose the last card which has to be a message from the universe because I was JUST telling my boyfriend how we need to reread the Hunger Games because you and Raeleen inspired me during your recent read-in haha! I also will probably pick up the second book because it sounds perfect.

[@spacekace2752]

This is such a good idea lol please do more of these videos. My pick made so much sense for me omg

[@haileyinneverland]

I LOVED this video! Please make this a series, I would watch the crap out of that!

[@MangaManda30]

Loved this video! I picked the first card (The Emperor) and have definitely been feeling the lack of structure and desire for order, especially this week.

[@littlemusic4x]

This is such a cool idea! I picked the second card and it hit harder than I thought it would. I've been on an emotional roller-coaster during this social isolation and I guess and have not really been dealing witht those feelings. The "dear sugar..." book has been on my tbr list so I'll have to get it sometime soon. I'm waiting for the 2nd and 3rd book of the scythe trilogy and I think it fits into the theme of losing something to gain something.

[@bimbobagginsVIII]

LOVED this!! Please do it again 💜

[@ChinaraAhmadova]

Great idea and I loved it! I picked up 3rd card - so much matching with my current work life... I'd choose Paolo Coelho's Winner stands alone book for this card as it perfectly matches in plot, feelings and description we see there.

[@CaptainKMorganx]

This was such a wonderful video!! Booktube and ASMR are my two main KZbin sectors, and Slight Sounds ASMR did a tarot reading for the new year and I think about it constantly. I chose 5 of swords, and honestly I realized that victory through this COVID pandemic to me originally felt like just surviving. That card has made me realize that I want to do more than just make it through, be that through supporting my community or doing things for myself to make the transition into the "after" a little easier. I'm starting by painting my kitchen. Don't ask why. 💕

[@blackcatseye22]

The tower is one of my favorite tarot cards.

[@elliepasquale5479]

This was AMAZING. Please do it again! ☺️

[@SydBookWorrom]

Wow I love this SO MUCH. Such a brilliant, original idea!

[@kollynpayne7363]

I actually read 'Tiny Beautiful Things' because of you and I LOVED it!! Cheryl Strayed has a way of describing life and the mundane in such a poetic way that it makes me hopeful for the future

[@PhoebeCase]

this is such a good idea, please make more of these!

[@KingaZajacNNR]

That was great! I chose the middle card and you know what, I am reading this book now :D And I am reading it because your earlier mentions of it.

[@petalfaery]

Your videos make my day! I chose card 2 and it is so relevant to me at the moment. Not only do we have the disruptions of this awful virus but we have been told be the vet that our lovely cat only has a couple/few months left to live. We are giving him so much love and care, as well as his medication but we are still very sad about it. Thank you for your wonderful videos, they really mean a lot at the moment. X

[@juliamaia488]

I can't believe that I chose card #2 and I'm already reading tiny little things (thanks to a previous video of yours) Thank you for the recommendation! It's amazing ♡

[@KitKatSam27]

Wow.. This was amazing. The card I chose (the middle one) described exactly a situation I am currently in. I now have that book on hold on my Libby app -- Thank you

[@laurenparker8755]

What a concept!!!! I love it.

[@mihelmana]

This is such a great idea! So creative and fun.

[@MsRobynmichelle]

I loved this video and would like another one! Could you please do a whole video on tarot cards? That would be so fun! Another fun idea could be doing book recommendations based on horoscopes!
