WEEK IN MY LIFE: unboxing book mail, spending time outside, reading

[@Amy-yq7vs]

The ambient music makes watching your videos feel meditative!

[@bigbooklady]

That makes me so happy :) thank you

[@rmt-books]

heartbroken by the lack of sour cream content 💔

[@bigbooklady]

I'm terribly sorry. All future content will feature sour cream in abundance

[@amfro4276]

​@@bigbooklady good.

[@caras4766]

Appreciate you wearing a mask to go out when you're ill

[@TheLeaveTaking]

you're a breath of fresh air... such an artsy, cool vibe to your videos! also Winnipeg looks dystopian in a good way lol

[@justrefiloe]

the jingling change story is taking me out 😂

[@allonatabris8150]

I don't know if this is something you would ever do, but Id love if you made a video that was just an hour or so of just you reading, drinking coffee etc. I love the ambient music and watching your videos makes me want to read. Love your content

[@Indy-van-Salem]

I really liked that Vlog. Everything feels just "real". Thats refreshing.

[@lorakani3329]

My favourite thing to do while watching your vlogs is spot Joni

[@bigbooklady]

she would love to hear that

[@faithsmith6334]

just wanted to say be careful with the tulips! they are toxic to cats apparently. Love your videos!!

[@kittyfuggle-hops7904]

I came to say this, especially as Miss Joni was munching the carnations

[@loganmarieone]

lol I didn’t see your comment and commented the same thing!

[@faithsmith6334]

@@loganmarieone haha great minds think alike 😝

[@caras4766]

Ah I didn't know this! I have a cat and often have tulips

[@sofiamargherita1494]

Was just about to comment this! As a horticultural student I can say that all plants with a “bulb” like tulips, lilies, garlic and onion and so on.. Are SUPER toxic to cats and dogs and can be lethal so please be careful!

[@lenkal1009]

Hi Lauren! Just wanted to say that I very much appreciate the music you use. I love ambient meditative music. It makes videos that much special!💚 Plus shout-out to Joni being cutest companion.

[@nathansnook]

very yummy book haul! need to get to Hval's Girls Against God! loved Paradise Rot!

[@sommerjohnson9129]

9:23 omg Lauren, there is a Robyn cover of dancing on my own by Anna of the north. It’s from the Rosaline soundtrack, it’s so good! If you like the OG you need to hear it.

[@probablycryinginbed]

i love your vibe, your style, everything

[@chiarabassini3444]

Your KZbin videos are my favourite ❤ love from the UK x

[@angiepalmer3414]

what brand are the loafers you prefer? they look great!

[@k1ttydracoxx]

Greetings from Japan❤I love all your vlogs 🥰🥰🥰always watching and never get bored ❤

[@not_from_asia]

Glad I’m not the only one who opens up packages with keys! 😂

[@phylishac]

right lol but I thought every one does that haha

[@nataliemarcowka7144]

Hi Lauren! I love your video as always. I am super into birds and love your birds of the world shirt! I’m assuming that it was thrifted, but was wondering if there is a brand that it is from? thank you!

[@eloisa540]

love your videos so much, I hope you feel better soon!

[@CloudJordan-mj4ih]

Adore your vlogs. Such a lovely way to unwind after work. Love from Aotearoa

[@Whateverislying]

17:08 is it possible to buy the merch online as well?

[@lilpolivlogs]

love your style so much !

[@niamh4724]

Where are your headphones from? Are they any good?

[@justretan]

Her videos make my day 🤍🤍

[@JustSheik]

Your town looks so quiet and empty. I don’t mean in a bad way. Do most people just stay indoors? 😮

[@thejunebugable]

Like most North American cities it’s very car centric

[@bigbooklady]

Winnipeg isn’t a very densely populated city so it often looks pretty empty. During the winter most people stay indoors because it’s very cold

[@ashleyc9048]

Here for the sour cream content

[@faeriesmak]

Same.

[@faeriesmak]

I hope that you feel better soon!

[@bigbooklady]

noted

[@haru22748]

my boyfriend asked: are you meditated? Lol always enjoying watching your videos and loving seeing little Joni in them. I think he really like's that tree cat haha

[@maddieyoungman7859]

Omg definitely come visit Edmonton if your partner is moving here! There are some pretty cool cafes and book stores here. Theres even a pretty decent sized used bookstore with a resident cat :)

[@bigbooklady]

I'm going to be visiting in early June!

[@jacquelinemendez6460]

Blue Bottle is from LA!

[@amac0190]

Ty for the beautiful video ❤️ can you tell us how you find new books or authors to read? I find it hard to discover the next best book these days bc everything us so curated online and in person these days. Ty ❤️❤️

[@bigbooklady]

You're so sweet! I often look on publishing companies websites and look at their upcoming releases page. www.fsgoriginals.com/books www.penguin.com/tiny-reparations-overview/ groveatlantic.com/#

[@N1m01]

Last week I check your channel and miss your videos🤍

[@justkidsmusic]

♥ the best KZbinr right now

[@SamiLovegood]

love these cosy videos

[@pigeonbaby-]

Hope all is well, I’ll be reading a ton of books this summer after exams are over

[@blumendaisy]

Me too, I can’t wait for exam season to be over!!

[@pigeonbaby-]

@@blumendaisy 45 more days and I’m done, then off to collage!! Please give me some book recs too!

[@blumendaisy]

@@pigeonbaby- 22 days till summer break starts and then uni starts on October for me :) I’m not really sure what type of books you’re into, but my absolute favourite is The Last Victim by Jason Moss (please do check for trigger warnings!) I couldn’t put it down the first time I started reading it

[@karleybayer7457]

slay to the shelving unit

[@obscureghost27]

These videos are always so relaxing

[@nazreenmujib3036]

Out of curiosity, how do you decide what to read next? Would love to know!

[@bigbooklady]

I'm very much a mood reader so I really just look through my stacks of unread books and choose whatever I'm in the mood for.

[@hanakologan4862]

Hii i i just wanted to say you really don’t have to vlog when you don’t feel like it!you could do a sit down video book review instead ?😊i remember seeing a vlog of emma chamberlain were she explained she was so stressed out daily to do something so her vlogs would be interesting which lead ti burnout or something like that!? Anyways i hope you only do what makes you feel good🩷have a nice day

[@angiesteg]

I really enjoyed Ordinary Human Failings.

[@caro0258]

how do you like the espresso machine?!

[@bigbooklady]

I really love it! It took me a while to figure out how course to grind my beans but now that I've got the hang of it I feel like my espresso is always perfect

[@meghanneriederp]

I moved from Winnipeg during 2020 and hearing the news of the tallest poppy is devastating 😢

[@bigbooklady]

It was my go to brunch spot😢

[@meghanneriederp]

@@bigbooklady I still dream of the chicken and waffles personally 💔

[@shadi4008]

What is your hair color shade and number please?

[@Kayleethomps]

Random but what hair dye do you use?

[@bigbooklady]

I'm actually not sure because i get it done professionally but i know that its a mix between a level 4 and 5

[@Kayleethomps]

Thank you 😙

[@isabelpardo8878]

i love your videos x

[@millieshami]

wait where’s the sour cream clip?? i literally came here for the sour cream !!

[@douloureux.]

Is that a golden earring shirt? 🤩

[@bigbooklady]

you bet :)

[@douloureux.]

@@bigbooklady oh my dutch heart ❤️

[@loganmarieone]

Be careful with the Tulips and your kitty. Tulips are apart of the Lily family and can be toxic to cats! ❤️

[@bigbooklady]

Joni is typically pretty indifferent about flowers but thank you for the concern

[@kd3342]

You remind me a lot of Alexis Krauss from Sleigh Bells

[@luzpalougarcia]

next time pls show us the sour cream

[@NicoleMae]

Extra loved this video

[@FrannyBrown]

Long live bird shirts!

[@juliasokolovska9016]

It was so strange to spot a Ukrainian-themed monument behind your back. I first thought I was hallucinating XD I then looked it up online to confirm I was sane. Greetings from UA

[@bigbooklady]

oh that's so funny! We have a really big Ukrainian community in Winnipeg

[@Brittreads]

We’ll never see the sour cream? 😢

[@starr_wolf-c6h]

Will Joanie be ok with the tulips?

[@annas8524]

show us the sour cream

[@Sarah-hj4jj]

You look like Taylor Swift 😊

[@Marla-i5u]

You’re too cute Lauren. I hope you don’t hate me saying that. But it’s true.🙂🥰

[@Tanya1q44]

Lauren, do you have an account on Fable? Does anyone here? I feel like a lot of people here have quite similar taste in books, but Goodreads doesn’t work in my country properly, so I wondered if anyone would like to be friends there? I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to ask, didn’t mean to advertise anything.

[@MagaliVaz]

I'd love to! I'm Magali Vaz there & always looking for new people to add. I'm in a bit of a reading slump but currently tryna finish Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

[@Tanya1q44]
