WEEKLY READING VLOG | finishing 4 books, grocery haul, + bookish unboxings!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

This vlog being over ONE HOUR makes me so happy 👏 SAY YES TO LONGER VIDEOS! (can't watch til I read the book but knowing this is waiting for me at the end of my journey is going to make me read the book quicker) ❤

[@oliviareadsalatte]

hahahah i’ll start making them longer just for you 💃🏼👯‍♀️

[@MelpoReads]

“Crying isn’t practical” I’ve never felt more seen (Capricorn). The headache and not being able to read is REAL. I also stopped alcohol because I can’t read buzzed hahahah.

[@makenzienelson6367]

Please never stop doing grocery hauls. Book related vlogs and grocery hauls are two of my favorite things to watch. I just love whatever you post though. 💕

[@oliviareadsalatte]

awh that’s good to know! i’ll keep them coming 😌

[@Manos-Luna-Bookish-Flames]

Ok what your cat 🐈‍⬛ did at your leg is the most adorable thing I saw this week she is so sweet ❤️

[@Manos-Luna-Bookish-Flames]

Also regarding cats they don’t like moving to new places that’s why she is acting like that but she will get better also they don’t even like moving furniture around at the home they like things to be the same all time but don’t worry once she is start getting used to the new place she will be fine just do one thing as she getting older now just do random check ups on her 😁 ❤️ but regarding now once you settle everything down you will see day by day she will be acting back to normal 😁

[@lookitsrae90]

I love that you were watching Dylan is in Trouble!

[@madisonglossner9882]

Ginger b-roll is top tier content. She is precious and I’m here for it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@KarasBookshelf]

Obsessed with this vlog! This is what we need on booktube!!!

[@Maritinylibrary]

You are one of my favorite booktubers! You make reading be so chill and like "here for the vibes and the good times". As an anxious person that sometimes gets anxious about "not being a proper reader", it's nice to watch someone enjoy books and be super chill about them. Thank you for always making my days better 😁

[@vanilla00fluff]

Yeeeeeeees! Tuesdays are my day off and I always look forward to watching your vlog in the morning, and this one is over an HOUR!! You spoil us 💜

[@oliviareadsalatte]

hahah, that’s perfect then because it’s a long one! 🙌🏼💛

[@bookaholicbanter]

You're getting a tortoise! Aww! So cute. Can't wait to see her. Loved the grocery haul. I also do Hello Fresh but I don't know how long I will be using it because it's a bit expensive. Just veryconvenient. .

[@HollyWood-pm3xq]

I just have to say, your house is huge!!! I can not wait to see your new addition to your family. Watching Ginger sleep is the best thing. She looks so peaceful. I always enjoy seeing Ginger and Jack.

[@leeannieee1991]

Your videos are always fun to watch, but Jake and Ginger truly steal the show. They are superstars and I adore them!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

they are the stars! 🐕🐈

[@bookswithmakenzie5461]

Yes! We love a one hour+ vlog!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I just love Ginger! She reminds me so much of my 15-year-old girl who has hyperthyroidism and has definitely become cranky in her old age!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

awh yes! love our old ladies 🐈

[@chrisisbookinit]

your coworker is such a mood. it was like -20 last week and the school district didn’t close, so I was like “absolutely not” and called my kid out and myself out.

[@myaadams8284]

I can't help but think half of the reason I subscribed is just to see sassy ginger making herself knnown. I lived for gingers appearance near the end, where she just gave the world quite a view🤣🤣🤣

[@oliviareadsalatte]

hahaha honestly she’s the star here

[@smallcece]

The ginger content in this vlog? BLESSED ✨

[@oliviareadsalatte]

🐈

[@michellemarlow4908]

The water reminders are highly appreciated 😊

[@oliviareadsalatte]

water time 💧🙌🏼

[@marymik7372]

Also your reactions from HOSAB are giving me life. Thank you so much for not spoiling!!

[@sailortwips]

Was thoroughly entertained by your live reaction lol Also love a long vlog! Always excited when I see an oliviareadsalatte vlog in my sub feed as they’re like my cozy comfort thing before bed so I extra love when they’re extra long 💕🐈🐕🐢

[@pawntksqueen6976]

That spiced peach Austin Eastciders is SOO good. But I def recommend their cranberry or blood orange

[@oliviareadsalatte]

we’ll definitely have to check those out!

[@seeliequeen]

That Blueberry Lavender Almond Milk is REALLY good in tea, particularly Earl Grey. I love it.

[@morganking757]

“Turns out you can’t see black ice” *laughs in Michigan* But really, glad you were safe and stayed home!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

listen, i’m just a southerner 😫 i got tornadoes and hurricanes, but snow and ice simply aren’t for me

[@annmariesloan8406]

I have a pint glass that I bought at Powells City of Books in Portland (literally a 5 floor store of 1,000,00+ books and all I got was a glass). And decided since it was bookstore themed. It would be my bookmark holder. Yup water on my menu so far today

[@melissawestfall1]

Ginger’s TOE BEANS!!! 😱❤️ Gotta send Jake some love too. Always so handsome. 😍 I haven’t been subscribed to your channel long but long enough to see you make drinks and wonder if you will add a mixology section to one of your vlogs along with any suggestions on favorite iced coffee variations you might know of. 😂

[@gabbyreads]

Love the long vlogs!!! 😍 also I have no desire to read that book but it was so entertaining to watch you react to it haha

[@gabbyreads]

Also love a Trader Joe’s haul 😍 Trader Joe’s is the best omg I’m currently obsessed with their chicken chow mein it’s soooo good 😍

[@thebestiebooksleeve]

😆your thumbnail is the most relatable thing.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

hahaha i had to keep the picture in the final thumbnail 😂

[@mariamacamara9878]

I love these grocery halls!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you!!

[@aliciaw82]

Loved this long vlog! Your facial expressions while reading the SJM was priceless! Ginger’s paw cameo was precious. Thanks for the cult-y book recommendation. I have a weird fascination with them too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@museofcoffee]

Yes!!!! I was waiting to see your reactions for the end of House of Sky and Breath and you didn't disappoint lol and I am really bad at drinking water and your reminders actually help so thank you for that lol!!

[@betsey2966]

Oh my gosh, when you first showed the tortoise enclosure and I saw the 🐢 statue or water bowl, I was like, um, Liv-AnnaBeth is not a real tortoise and someone needs to break it to you! 🤣 Can’t wait for your new chill vibes morning routine when she gets there 😂. You cracked me up so much in this vlog. Oh, and I agree, The Maid is so sweet and it surely is the start of a series, you think? Very exciting if so. Your copy is better, mine is all slick.

[@josieann4390]

💜 Huge fan of the longer vlogs!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thank you so much!

[@brittanywaynestilphen4685]

I need ginger to greet me like that!

[@KatieColson]

“The common denominator is Katherine…🤔” oh no, she’s getting closer to figuring out my evil scheme

[@oliviareadsalatte]

it’s those pesky geminis, i’ll tell ya

[@VanillaMoon]

Can we normalise one hour vlogs please!!!! THANKQ

[@oliviareadsalatte]

hahaha yes 🙌🏼

[@iutgu]

Ginger literally makes my whole day happier. She is so precious 🖤 Also, please be careful with the eucalyptus around your pets. It’s a neurotoxin and toxic for them to consume or even smell the oils. I’m not sure how/ If the sprigs would affect them but just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t! I wanted to do the sprigs in the shower a while back but I got too paranoid (I have 3 cats and 3 dogs 😬).

[@oliviareadsalatte]

thanks for letting me know! they don’t go into the bathroom and won’t be around it at all, it’s gonna be way too out of reach for them!

[@DeafGirl93]

I like watching your grocery hauls to see what Gluten Free items you get.

[@BookinItWithAhtiya]

Awww, poor Ginger! Moving is so stressful, I totally get it.

[@jenniedamron5912]

Seeing a vlog from you truly brightens my day 🌻🌻

[@oliviareadsalatte]

awh thank you for watching! 💛

[@jenrussell4332]

Blueberry lavender milk is really good in ice matchas

[@oliviareadsalatte]

ohhhh that sounds good!

[@LocDBooktician]

The fairy loot editions is soo good

[@oliviareadsalatte]

they’re always so gorgeous 😫

[@marymik7372]

Ugh I love Juan Manuel from the Maid. Such a cute cozy. Have you read the Thursday Murder Club? I highly highly recommend it and think you'd like it (it's also a cozy mystery

[@bridgetvollmer6337]

Loving the longer vlogs! Can't wait to see your turtle.

[@annmariesloan8406]

That kind of weather. I would have stayed home as well. And did back in January. Our street was basically black ice for a week and a half 🤬. The only good thing was I was on lockdown due to everyone else in the house getting Covid. I was thankfully the only one who didn't

[@annmariesloan8406]

"I'm going to edit Jacob" LOVE IT🤣❤

[@angelicreads785]

I joined your patreon today. Don’t know where to start lol. Looking forward to reading.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Awh thank you!! so excited to have you there!

[@kreativekatevlog]

Soooooooo I would love to do a vlog ... just about life... books and my art journey.... any hints/ tips/ advice???? Love your video... very chilled. When I talk to camera I fall over words... mind goes blank and I sound like a right idiot 🤣🤣🤣

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

I looooove long vlogs ❤️

[@raquelweber3287]

Great video Olivia :) Jake and Ginger are too adorable, can't wait to meet Annabeth :)

[@CassBeaz]

Careful with Eucalyptus and Ginger! It is hard for cats to breathe with Eucalyptus and is toxic if she eats it! I keep some by my front door outside and it smells great! Then I don’t have to worry about Beaz 🥰😽 I loveeee the grocery hauls!

[@beccalouise3815]

Came to say the same thing. It’s extremely dangerous for cats 😣

[@thebestiebooksleeve]

TRADER JOES IS MY EVERYTHING

[@oliviareadsalatte]

it’s so good!!!!

[@StephanieSlumdog]

Thank you for blessing us with a feature film 🥰

[@lauren7713]

Girl I read the shadows between us in under 24 hours and the last half hour of that audiobook was a roller coaster of emotions then that Sanderson announcement…I need a venti Starbucks and a candle Also, thank you for the long vlog. Even if you posted a three hour long video, I’d rewatch it all week until next Tuesday 🖤🖤

[@oliviareadsalatte]

the sanderson announcement made my day!!

[@lilygrant2525]

I think everyone feels the same way when it comes to experiencing the pre-boom...I know for sure that I have to work myself up to read the final chapters of whatever book I reading. And then afterwards I'm just left with my thoughts over what I'm going to do next 😂💕❤

[@hudfamfour]

I’m just jumping in to the Sarah J Maas universe. I’ve only read Throne of Glass so far. But should I read everything else before I read the Crescent City books or are all of the series fairly standalone? Also, Ginger gives me life. She just has the sweetest face and it makes me smile every time I see her!

[@AwkwardBookworm]

I still need to read Crescent City 😩

[@shadedsoul890]

Same here!!

[@lambbees104]

Same!

What are all the tabs for? Always enjoy your videos.

[@blazewskimeghan5424]

I don't know if you know if Diffusers are very poisonous to pets depending in what oils you use. on other topic if you want a quick fanastay book you should pick up Uprooted,

[@oliviareadsalatte]

i know they are, but these are specifically for cats! it was vet recommended! and i'll have to look into that one!! i own it actually.. do you recommend physical, audio, or maybe both?

[@blazewskimeghan5424]

@@oliviareadsalatte I am reading it physically. I dont know about the audiobook for this one.

You said drink your water right as i took a sip of my Coke Zero LOL

CC2 has already been partially spoiled for me so now I’m bitter and just taking my time trying to catch up 😂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

oh no, i’m so sorry :(

[@annmariesloan8406]

Diet Coffee that would be a interesting concept. Do they even make that🤔🤔

[@annmariesloan8406]

Apparently they actually do. Who'd have thought. Also straight up black coffee is diet friendly as well

Also, have you seen Intentionally Bookish is starting a quarterly cozy book club?!

i don’t know how it got out of control so quickly 😂

[@annmariesloan8406]

Love animal videos ❤❤❤

[@kristenumansky8855]

I’m just here to say it’s ok to compare SJM to Brandon Sanderson and I’m glad you didn’t back pedal that. She is the Brando Sando of fantasy romance 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m just starting part 3 and am jealous of everyone finishing it already! Haha. Hopefully just 2 more days for me to finish so I can watch everyone’s thoughts.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

i would definitely take your time! there’s sooooo many moving parts and details you need to note, it’s so good!

[@nicolenickerson8354]

Everyone else: ooo Olivia just uploaded Me: oooo Ginger content, excellent

[@oliviareadsalatte]

hahahah literally that 🐈

[@LocDBooktician]

I’m getting into this video because I had to pause last time and tiktok spoils everything

[@books-on-a-wire]

I'm seriously considering using my Audible credit for HOSAB because I'm so bored lol. Why must it take her 400 pages before I get invested!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

i would recommend it! i was liking the book but the audiobook really kicked it up a notch!

[@Megelizzaa]

If you don’t already listen to them, you should check out Mile Higher Podcast! They do true crime/cults and other stuff! They’re my faveeeeee

[@whitneywest3538]

I think cats don’t like to move. My brother and his wife had a few cats and a few moves. With this last one, they’re all done and gone. Two got stuck in trees. Ended up letting one of the go live on a farm with a family friend. (Actually a farm, not like an animal was harmed.) I was told they create routes that they make every night and moving to a new location obviously messed with it and they create a new one. But they can act out because of it. Again, this is info I was told by someone who isn’t an expert so you may want to Google if what I said has any validity whatsoever.

[@kristenbell5214]

Not me being called out for not drinking water multiple times during this vlog lol...sending love to Ginger

[@mikayla5949]

Not you threatening me to drink my water and me actually doing it 👀

[@Sophie703]

You can browse all the hello fresh recipes on the app and website. Love saving money and overall getting more bang for my buck by using their recipes and not their service. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the kits but the quality has tanked lately.

[@WiseDragon50]

Olivia, honey darling. I love you I do....but the end....I spoiled it for myself....and in no way shape or form am I pleased with it. I am happy with the epilogue😍😍😍it saved me but the ending of the book...no no🤢🤢🤢 Love the updates tho ✌ your reactions are always everything
