[@piixeltune]

the “hi i’m paul” clip made me spit lmao

[@baileykestner3769]

I read this comment before the aforementioned clip had occurred and I was afraid it wouldn’t be as joyous because I knew it was coming. I WAS WRONG.

[@fizyknaut8108]

"Too many tears have been shed over statistics." As a Mathematics student, I agree. At this point, crying should be on my timetable.

[@regulardragon]

I'm ways amazed by how many things you manage to do in one day, big Leslie knope saying you're beautiful and you're organized vibes from me

[@allisonpaiges]

what a compliment!

[@mariahanophy3951]

Totally echo all your feelings about Crying in H Mart - I alternated between not wanting to put it down and being terrified to pick it up because I didn’t want to it to end!

[@SofiaPerez-jw3oy]

I went into Crying in H Mart completely blind a few months back and I still haven’t recovered, it’s been on my mind constantly 🙃 Michelle Zauners interviews and music following reflect the book so beautifully

[@isabellehall9217]

Yolk is definitely going on my TBR, Crying in H Mart too, but I'm not ready yet. Your videos make me so happy. I'm going through some difficult stuff now and i need some positivity; thank you for that.

[@baileykestner3769]

As a person who HATES cooking, watching you cook and talk about food brings me great joy.

[@joeyengelman]

I finished Crying in H Mart yesterday on a plane and was fighting back tears for my LIFE. Definitely a favorite of mine as well. Also 11:05 those lil cat legs dangling tho 😂

[@tomg268]

I think I’ve cried a few times over books but the only one that sticks out in my memory is the end of The Book Thief

[@micahlawrence8684]

Crying in H Mart made me cry so much, throughout the entire thing. Listen to her album Psychopomp that she talks about in the book. It will make you cry even more with all the context!

[@rose-coloredbookworm]

Both Yolk and Crying in H mart have been in my TBR for sooo long, so thanks SO much for the inspiration 🤧💕 'cause now I want to read them ASAP

[@shawneesoto7700]

My dad passed away nine days before my wedding in 2021 and just watching you cry reading this book about grieving a parents made me cry. It sounds amazing, but maybe I’ll add Yolk to my tbr instead haha

[@acupoftia11]

this video was so lovely, it is the only thing i could watch now when i am sick, because everything else makes me tired and bored. aaaand i am glad i watched it bcs now i know i should wait until reading ''crying in h mart'', i am not prepared for it hahah sending you so much loooove, ally!!!🦋🍂✨🧡🧡🧡

[@emilyem3]

Your BOTM sponsorship clips are always so unique and beautiful and well put together 🥺❤️ The first book I read for the readathon was Trust Exercise by Susan Choi and I loved it!

[@allisonpaiges]

i really appreciate you saying so! 🌼 happy reading!

[@marystath]

hey ally, just wanted to say that i love your videos so much! i find them extremely creative, beautiful and they overall make me feel happy and warm. i just get really happy when i see you being happy and also your channel getting bigger, you absolutely deserve it!

[@cindyo6298]

I thought you were going to say that the book that made you cry was a math book, haha

[@allisonpaiges]

you’ve got a point, cindy! in a way this title is false advertising. a plethora of my tears are encrusted in the pages of so many math books out there.

[@rachaelkeating932]

I don’t know if I was just having an emotional day but The Anthropocene Reviewed made me cry multiple times.

[@allisonpaiges]

oh that makes so much sense 💕

[@thescarediest]

I agree with u completely about crying in H mart i really enjoyed it

[@sierragray11]

not me almost crying when you were on chapter 14 because i knew exactly what you just read (":

[@allisonpaiges]

:,)))

[@ellenthompson3157]

im so glad you loved crying in h-mart!! also all ur outfits and food in this video are immaculate as always

[@kearose]

your videos are always so healing, i appreicate everything that goes into them 🥺💜

[@catandthemouse1]

yeah crying in h mart had me sobbing and by the end of the book I physically couldn’t cry anymore I was a mess

[@kicica13212]

I rarely cry reading books but A Monster Calls made me sob!

[@laurenherweyer2659]

I cried a bunch reading crying in H mart and then I almost cried watching you cry over crying in H mart

[@katiecoversx3]

It's so weird. Crying in H Mart was absolutely heartbreaking but somehow I didn't shed a single tear. And I cry over books ALL THE TIME! What's the science behind it?! I don't understand man. Also, the clip of Albus playing fetch was so good for my soul.

[@Epaff4]

I just finished crying in h mart because of you…. A new favorite, made me sob

[@samanthaimrie2918]

I’m having fun participating in the read-a-thon, it motivated me to finish love in the time of cholera for my dandelion space. Now I’m reading Anne of Green Gables and loving it. Will def keep filling out the bingo until I get all the spaces which will be long after November haha.

[@beecee11]

Needed this cozy video after a hard day at work. Thank you for sharing.

[@AthynVixen]

My First non fiction November was Crying in H Mart.. I've had the ARC for ages but only just read it.. omg soooo frickin good. Believe the hype

[@681rmj]

Yes, I definitely cried from H Mart but still can't believe you didn't cry reading A Little Life! That had me ugly face crying.

[@TheBookHoarder]

I listened to Crying in H-Mart on audiobook this past week! Such calm vibes for such a heavy topic. Happy to see you thriving! 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

[@allisonpaiges]

❤️‼️

[@themidnightlibrarian5159]

Oh no, not me tearing up seeing you cry! Makes me want to read Crying in H-Mart but now I'm scared! Definitely reading it at home only....

[@totoLP100]

happy bloomin ally! I'm also deep in uni work (the academic year is about to be over in argentina) but reading has been a lovely distraction! The first book I finished was Bluets by maggie nelson and I really loved it, even though its philosophical nature made me a bit existential at times lol

[@kirstea]

the indecisiveness through where to start with the tbr is very relatable

[@kirstea]

i think every vlog needs a grocery store haul …. why’s that so entertaining who knows…. like yes show me more chives

[@kirstea]

gotta read yolk asap

[@kirstea]

crying in h mart? im gonna that skip until my brain stabilises

[@kirstea]

sending prayers 4 your the stats side of ur brain

[@kirstea]

no don’t CRY OMF

[@Magicme79]

I got the very clever idea to stream this video to our projector. Girl, you are ENORMOUS!

[@morokoth6275]

god this is the first video i watched of u and i have to say I FELL IN LOVE!!! This video is like a warm blanket. Cant wait to watch more of ur content:)

[@allisonpaiges]

aw that's nice to say! thank you and welcome!

[@TheYumblebee]

The last book to make me cry is Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, I had to read it for a class so I was totally not expecting to cry but I did and it was so sad.

[@shiningyoonie]

I'm near the end of My Dark Vanessa and it's incredible. There were many parts that made me teary eyed.

[@jesekreanne]

Little Women specifically when I read it as an ADULT. I was not expecting to sob as much as I did when I already knew the book so well.

[@ScullyPopASMR]

This is such a fun community of book lovers.

[@strabckr]

i haven’t been able to read because of exams but you best bet when I write my last physics paper I’m gonna read from the moment I open my eyes to the moment I close them!

[@Laurapoet33]

I GASPED when I saw your cookie cutters! The SQUIRRELS!! The HEDGEHOGS!!! Best cookie cutters I've ever seen IN MY LIFE!!! (Also your videos are wonderful and I'm even more scared/excited to read crying in h-mart but it's on my readathon tbr so here we goooo)

[@cryingaboutbooks]

watching you cry about crying in H mart made me start crying from all the parts I remember that effed me up too 😭💔 also it is so so so beautifully written?? like holy shit

[@agothbee]

hi the first book I read for the read a thon was bunny and I enjoyed it 😊 also I started learning Dutch cause of you!

[@allisonpaiges]

proficiat!!!

[@oogie_boogie9663]

haaai your new nose ring looks amazing !

[@theresew9]

Love your videos!!

[@emmasammut7332]

I`m almost finished with my first book! Also as someone in a psychology course with a statistics unit I feel seen ❤

[@user-sw7ru6tk6e]

I am so excited for the Bloomin Read a Thon! So far I have read Seance Tea Party by Reimena Yee for the graphic novel and friendship sections and it was soooo cute!! Is there any way to print out the bingo card? Its so cute!!

[@allisonpaiges]

yes! its on instagram ☺️

[@yaelblass873]

Omg Ally loving the spons! So keen to have a life crisis over crying in h mart lol

[@alenanela1743]

I am forever indebted to youtube for recommending this video to me.

[@MusicallySpontaneous]

I recommended this forever ago in the Discord (and I couldn't decide the best forum for this, since I'm jumping back in for the first time in ages), but your review makes me think you'll love Dancing at the Pity Party: A Dead Mom Memoir, a graphic novel by Tyler Feder. It's one of my favorites and I've been considering rereading it soon.

[@allisonpaiges]

yessss i added it to my TBR after you recommend it! after crying in h mart i’m confident i can read dancing at the pity party. 💜💖

[@rachellawley879]

Awhile ago I moved pretty far from my family to be with my husband/for a great job. Not an ocean's length, but pretty far. I don't regret it one bit, but man it busts my heart up to not see my momma and sister and our pup every day. Some days hit real hard. Your videos give me comfort, and maybe Crying in H-mart will give me some comfort and catharsis too.

[@sunnynacia]

just started reading Crying in H Mart and as someone who never cries for books, this video is TERRIFYING to me !!!!!

[@sleepystephi]

i started with Kim Jiyoung born 1982, and oh boy, what a start! struggling a bit to read these days, but following up with Loveless by Alice Oseman (and or Circé by Madeline Miller and Sleepwalking by Meg Wollitzer). We lost 4 family members these past 2 summers, and i feel very attracted to books talking about grief, trying to deal with mine as i wasn't that close to these family members. Otherwise, give me a book with an unhinged female lead in her 20s, and i will devour it (Like me by Hayle Phelan or even My Year of Rest and Relaxation)

[@camcam794]

Your meals are always on point! Your husband is a lucky ducky!

[@fiona2214]

not me crying when i see ally crying : (

[@gracefully6650]

awh the little pumpkin pastry ... warms me lil heart

[@gracefully6650]

i don't have anything to say except your vlogs make me so cozyyy

[@gracefully6650]

mad respect for confronting your feelings

[@miccocruz]

"How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days". Amazing title for my favorite hollywood dog lover

[@blackheartbooks]

I’m the complete opposite. I’m not a very emotional person in life but with books I’ll cry at the drop of a hat

[@arla7247]

I had a very hard time telling what the name of the book that made you cry. You are younng anf speak faast , I am a granny and hear sloww. So I checked you out on Goodreads. I check everyone I follow to see if they have the best book ever written on their list ...I'm so excited ... you do , you do. But you haven't read it. You are stressed , want something to make you smile and warm your toes. You absolutely have to read Humans Very happy I found your channel. You read good books , and you list what you read ...I love that.

[@miccocruz]

Thanks for convincing me to get Crying in H Mart. I too, would like a book to get me to cry lakjsdkla

[@parlezvouskitty]

ahhhh she has her own code!!! big deal 🥲 I knew you meant business once you put the groutfit on I also cry so easily at everything in life and books hardly ever get me but TELL ME how crying in hmart made me cry during and then after reading it and then watching you read it. honestly she picked the best name for it, because all the crying that happened with this book

[@allisonpaiges]

the power of the groutfit the power of crying in h mart

[@jillianferris8515]

when i was reading crying in h mart i would start to skip sentences subconsciously because it hurt too much😭😭 i just started my third book for the book a thon & its on earth we’re briefly gorgeous & i’m wondering if that will make me cry

[@lxxy05]

5:19 why did that give me asmr

[@sundancekat7656]

A. Need more answers about the pumpkiny tart/hand pie creature at 4:49...adorable! B. 5:15 ok ASMR, I see you ;)

[@JerseyAsian]

Thank you.

[@cryingaboutbooks]

the first book I read for the readathon was artificial condition by Martha Wells 🥰💘

[@ethalinia]

I'm honestly scared about 'Crying in H Mart'- I love it when an artist is able to make me feel their emotions, it creates a genuine feeling of connection to another soul that is very unique. However. I lost my father at a young age so the pain of losing a parent is very real to me. Better warn my mom before I start reading that she needs to be available for hugs :P

[@xangel6721]

What is the recipe for your ramen and all the fixins that go on top?? Looks amazing :)

[@allisonpaiges]

ramen made per packet instructions + whatever i have on hand!

[@michellerutten4412]

Come make kimchi at our place! Pick a date that works for you and we'll make it happen ✌ I've just ran out of a 1L jar 😅

[@brian_meaney]

Anyone know what music was playing from 12:53 to 13:57? It was so beautiful and encapsulated the emotions of the book. (Love the video btw!)

[@allisonpaiges]

it’s from animal crossing!

[@brian_meaney]

@@allisonpaiges makes alot of sense! Thanks

[@pattyrad]

girl have you read the travelling cat chronicles?? That book WRECKED me

[@allisonpaiges]

[@francescakyanda9182]

I don’t really cry but I’ve definitely felt the agony that is statistics

[@dana2837]

doesn't want to read a really sad book, proceeds to pick up yolk

[@oliviabarker1346]

damn lol i teared up at crying in hmart but didn't cry! when is a book gonna make me cry?!

[@EverybodyQuins]

I put zero effort into all of my math classes for engineering and did great. However, statistics kicked my butt. Makes no sense! (It does but not to me) Godspeed my friend

[@kriziaamber4548]

what type of printer do you have?? :O

[@allisonpaiges]

it's from epson!

[@Khan_2025]

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

[@lostinadmiration]

No crying while reading 'A little life' ??? How?

[@moviemagus1921]

Aw you're the cryer I've ever seen :D

[@legendsofthebravebard]

I would love to hear your reactions to Song Of The Sacred Dove.

[@thewolfandherbooks]

Please drop the recipe for that pumpkin soup!

[@allisonpaiges]

[@julieannelovesbooks]

I LOVE STATISTICS! But my brain is too much like a sieve to understand philosophy. I really hope you find someone who can help you, it’s like a coin has to drop and then you’ll understand it. I’ve seen it with so many people who I’ve tutored.
