My name is Kalyn, I love books, and all things that go with being an introverted homebody. Thank you for watching and all your support

[@cookiemonster1871]

To the people reading this: have a good day/ night and stay safe during these hard times 😷🧤🙏

[@aleshaclaywell3699]

I love your profile pic!!💙

[@cgboldt]

Sorry about the damage from the storm, I have a suggestion for your broken window planter box. You could replace it with plexiglass. It's not as clear as window glass but it may hold up if you have another storm.

[@KalynAbridged]

Thank you so much that’s such a good idea!

[@SoleilCeline]

Hubert looks dashing in his new wheels :)

[@Kayla-rn3vq]

Your vlogs have the best aesthetics! 💖

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww thank you Kayla 🙈💛

[@MeganElisabeth]

So happy that you’re back with weekly vlogs🙏🏻 Please don’t put too much pressure on yourself! I’m sure all of us would agree that we will love whatever you film for us & it doesn’t always have to be you reading a ton of books💕💕

[@sammilovestoreadalot]

Missed your daily Vlogs Glad your hopefully fully back 💞

[@wordsofclover]

My name is Irish (Aoife, pronounced ee-fa) and means 'beautiful/beauty' and 'radiance' haha, so when I was younger it always gave me a boost growing up knowing my name meant something nice. I'm biased but I think Irish names are really lovely as they all tend to have meanings behind them, and they're very unique.

[@kristinandj]

Your dogs are the cutest

[@livslibrary]

So true how life doesn’t let me read as much as I want. 😂 Okay I actually just cried watching Hubert in his wheels. 😭😭😭 Also, all of this music was just so beautiful!

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

Your Vlogs are by far one of my favourites.

[@KalynAbridged]

Thank you so much Jennifa 😭💛

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

@@KalynAbridged aww how come the crying face emoji?

[@KalynAbridged]

Jennifa Mcgregor because it was so sweet of you to say!! 🥰

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

@@KalynAbridged awww thanks hun. Btw, I'm looking forward to the whimsy readathon next month. I have picked out all my books just got to organise my costume. Lol

[@kerrygirard5948]

Super great video ! I really like your home decoration, it looks so cosy 🥰

[@KalynAbridged]

Thank you so much Kelly! 🥺 also thanks for watching!

[@Smokeylights]

Just discovered your vlogs and I love them❤ thanks for sharing.

[@wendylowder6471]

Discovery of Witches is a great trilogy of books! I recommend! And, I named my daughter Moriah Faith. It means “seen of God”

[@elizabethjulia20]

Agh I've been waiting for a new video! Can't wait to clean my room, drink some tea and watch this! :)

[@ambbbbrrrr]

glad to see a new vlog I missed them! my name Amber means "resin stone" or it mentions its a color. I have also found precious stone. I am sorry about the hailstorm I never seen hail that big before. excited for the return of weekly vlogs as well

[@benevolentink3552]

Kalyn! This intro is beautiful! I've been waiting for your video - so excited!

[@KalynAbridged]

Awww I’m so glad you liked the intro! I hope you enjoy 🥰

[@benevolentink3552]

I loved this video so much!!!

[@SoleilCeline]

Oh no :( that storm sounds really scary, I'm glad everyone is alright. Wow you can really hear them falling!

[@SoleilCeline]

I'm definitely coming to you for some plant advice when I move into my next apartment

[@BookishRaider]

Loved the Guardians of the Galaxy Franchise!!! It so good!!

[@KalynAbridged]

Ughhh same. I’m a big fan or Starlord. 😂

[@BookishRaider]

I'm a big fan of Drax

[@AlliGraceStory]

i looooooveeeee the top and hair clips you are wearing sunday 😍 and awesome vlog too 😊

[@AlliGraceStory]

also my name is a combination of allison, which means truthful (and i think i am most of the time), and grace, which means gracious/graceful (i am good at giving grace to others but not to myself, which is something im working on)

[@IReadToday]

I keep seeing Home Before Dark on bookstagram! I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@adrianaj.4561]

The Discovery of Witches series was good...but I enjoyed the book even more. Highly recommend it.

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes I really want to pick it up now!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@jessicalynn6506]

💗

[@egem.]

"his name means gift of god and he's really one" i cried😍😍 my name, Ege, means "legal guardian" and the bearer of the same name as "Aegean Sea" so probably goes into a protective person, trustful which i find very interesting🥰🥰 and also in Danish, means "oak tree" u'r amazing & take care & keep up with your great work!!💞

[@lilacchocolate]

Never seen such giant hailstones!!! 😱 Loved A Discovery of Witches (it was done by a UK broadcaster so it appears on the UK iTunes), can't wait for season 2! It has such autumn/winter vibes need to do a rewatch that's for sure! 🍁🍂🥰

[@richrosebay]

I only read classic crimes like hercule poirot or sherlock holmes. Someone got murdered and a detective finds out who it was. No thriller, no disgusting scenes and usually no danger for the detective. I really enjoy these kind of mysteries!

[@SoleilCeline]

Yes! Do whatever works for you and your life

[@tonysmith7665]

You just have the sweetest heart. Ok, so about “And Then There Were None.” It struck me the same way. There was so much attention to the build up and then it was like she ran out of time to end it. Disappointing but still a fun read.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Wow! That scenery in the beginning is beautiful! I really enjoyed And Then There Were None too. I watched the old movie adaptation and prefered the book. That hail man!

[@stephanieokelberry8621]

Please do a monthly wrap up soon!!!

[@KalynAbridged]

Will do 🥰

[@CoffeeQueen90]

started watching A Discovery of Witches. Loving it!

[@KalynAbridged]

Right?! So good even jus the first episode! 🙌🏻

[@CoffeeQueen90]

@@KalynAbridged It's very good! I'm addicted to it.

[@perfumegirl7871]

Sundance has 8 episodes of A Discovery of Witches and it is so good ~ Sundance is a streaming service and usually offers a free 7 day trial. Your dogs are super cute.

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh my gosh I’m definitely going to have to check it out. Thank you so much! 🙌🏻

[@aleshaclaywell3699]

Seeing Hubert in that wheelchair thing made me feel so sad for him. ❤😟 But at least he'll still get to be mobile. Love your channel.

[@KalynAbridged]

I know! I seriously almost started crying the first time I put them on him. I really hope it helps him. Thank you so much!

[@veraspacewalkerreads]

i love watching your videos, they're so sweet and calming. my name means faith and I found that interesting in relation to my own faith. im glad you threw us the question because I had forgotten already the meaning of my name. also, your dogs are the cutest!!

[@KalynAbridged]

Thank you so much for watching!! I’m so glad you enjoy them! Oh that’s such a cool meaning behind your name! 🙌🏻

[@ashcam24]

Clue is an all time favorite movie and is so underrated!! But yeah Clue was inspired and essentially based around And Then There Were None. I also really enjoyed the bbc series!

[@KalynAbridged]

It’s sooooo underrated!!! Such an amazing movie, definitely going to watch it again in the fall. I didn’t know that!! It totally makes sense there was so much in it that reminded me of Clue.

[@Steph_W]

Clue was loosely based on And Then There Were None. A Parody kind of. So good eye! 👍🏼

[@SK22520]

My name is Suzanne and it means lily. I wouldn’t know how that represents my life at the moment, but I do find it a very cute meaning :) Also: Discovery of Witches is such a good book series as well! I call it “twilight for your twenties” hahaha.

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww I love lilies! That’s really cute! Yes that’s so funny that’s exactly how I thought about it as well 😂 love it!

[@lendralit1174]

My name means lioness. Which I never thought quite fit, as I'm an introvert and I don't like conflict. But then (sorry, TMI), I went through a hard divorce and had to learn to stand up for myself and my child in the aftermath. So, long story short, it feels like it fits more these days. :) The new containers look so good! And if there's anyone that can bring those succulents through, it's you! (And I loved A Discovery of Witches, I hope there's news on when season 2 comes out soon)

[@Lady95Jane]

Most of my reading at the moment is academic material because of uni. It gets really dry.

[@sirceline1]

Awww nooo, I think the doors on the planterbox are far too cute to be removed. You should definitely keep them even though you have to discard of the glass!🌿 Ulrikke comes from the male navn Ulrik (which is actually pronounced the way you did in your rr tbr.) Loosely translated it means hertiance of riches. I am in no way rich in the literal sense of the word, but I would view my faith, family history and the love and lessons from my elegant grandmother as things that have enriched my life. If that counts? Thank you for asking that question, I never knew and now I have another reason to love my name. Also Hubert🥺❤

[@JanAgaton]

idk how the heck i did it but i actually guessed the twist to the silent patient😬 Home before dark is on my Summerween TBR & im kinda nervous now because i hate predictable books lol

[@emmakgill]

In Hebrew, my name (Emma) means my God has answered. I thought that was so cool, especially since right before this I read a psalm that spoke about how God will always answer you.❤❤Love your videos, Kalyn!!

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh wow that’s such a cool meaning behind your name. Also God is so good!! How amazing that you read that right before watching. You’re so sweet! I’m so glad you enjoy them.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

That copy of Winnie the Pooh is so pretty :)

[@mandyd2h530]

My name is Amanda and it’s Latin for “Worthy of Love”. I had a keychain for years that said the meaning and different characteristics for that name. I don’t know about the meaning but many of the characteristics were actually pretty spot-on for me.

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww that’s such a cool meaning for your name! Also very interesting about the characteristics!

[@SoleilCeline]

[@alycia7870]

A Discovery of Witches is a book series by Deborah Harkness!! You should definitely read it. It's amazing, and one of my top faves

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes I really can’t wait to read it now!! Putting on my list for sure! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 thank you!

[@benevolentink3552]

If you like crime/ thriller books with supernatural feel, but it could be people, you may like Dead Scared by S.J Bolton, its a crime but has a supernatural feel to it.

[@KalynAbridged]

Ahhh definitely going to check it out. Thank you!

[@benevolentink3552]

No problem!

[@jennifero4949]

Where did you get that copy of An Then There Were None?? I love it!!

[@KalynAbridged]

I got it on amazon but it’s not there anymore 😭😭 make check book depository?!

[@jennifero4949]

KalynAbridged I’ll check, thank you!!

[@KeeleyJo]

My name means beautiful and pale, which I mean it’s pretty accurate 😂

[@MoniquetheBookGeek]

Hey, Kalyn! I’m so sorry about the storm damage you had. I hope all goes well with your insurance claims. I love that you were able to get wheels for Hubert and I hope that helps him a lot in the years to come. ❤️ I also belong in the Hufflepuff HP house and would love to get the same copy of Winnie the Pooh you have, with what you’ve said about it. 💛 Your name meaning “keeper of the keys” is quite interesting! 🤔 My name, “Monique” (a French name), carries the meaning of “advisor”, as well as “wise” and “recluse”. My MBTI personality type is the INFJ (known as the “advisor”/“advocate”/“counselor”), and my Enneagram type is 5w6 (5: “investigative thinker”; 6: “loyal guardian”) with the tritypes 2 (“supportive advisor”) and 9 (“peaceful mediator”). I am introverted and can be quite reclusive. I also love constantly gaining wisdom and knowledge and sharing what I learn with others, often giving advice and/or guidance. So… I feel my name fits me quite well. 🙂 I also really like “Discovery of Witches.” I watched the first season twice and am midway through the second book in the trilogy. You’re inspiring me to read “Home Before Dark” some time very soon, Kalyn. 🙂

[@lev.lately]

My name is a rare, more feminine variant of Levin, after one of my ancestors. Following its Old English and Old German roots, it means "dear/loyal friend" and following its Yiddish roots it means "lion". I think I am a very loyal friend, which is cool! Also, I have red hair, so the lion is kind of ironic, especially when I wake up and I have frizzy baby hairs around my face that kinda look like a lion's mane, haha.

[@beatb0xdoll]

My name is Audrey. It means noble and strength. Its etymology comes from celtic "halt" and "roen" which mean high and royal. So basically I'm supposed to be a strong princess I guess haha! My mom named me after Audrey Hepburn. Sorry about the damage caused by the storm. I hope Hubert gets used to his new wheels. He's so cute!

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh so interesting! That’s such a cool meaning for your name! Aww Audrey Hepburn is such an awesome person to be named after. Thank you, I hope he does too!

[@beckyduff]

Awe Hubert 💙💙 I've been wanting a Frenchie for a few years now but I know they are known for having health issues, like with their back legs, or with really bad allergies. Purebred dogs tend to have more issues and it's so sad. My name is Rebecca. Rebecca or Rebekah (Hebrew: רִבְקָה (Rivkah)) is a feminine given name originating from the Hebrew language. The name comes from the verb רבק (rbq), meaning "to tie firmly"; Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names and the NOBS Study Bible Name List suggest the name means captivating beauty, or "to tie", "to bind".[1] W. F. Albright held that it meant "soil, earth".[2] I am not sure about the "to tie firmly" haha. Or I found the definition: The name Rebecca is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "servant of God". Rebecca is a name representing beauty in the Bible, an Old Testament classic that reached the heights of revived popularity in the seventies but is still a well-used choice. It derives from the Hebrew name Rivkah, from the verb ribbqah, meaning “noose.”

[@alligrl101]

Where did you get those cute gold butterfly clips in your hair?? 😊

[@KalynAbridged]

Urban Outfitters!!

[@amieereads8452]

My name is Amiee, which means Beloved or Friend. I try and live up to that name :)

[@OneDisgrace]

My name is Alyssa and it means "rational" according to Greek origins. Which actually is pretty accurate, I would consider myself rational lol. Also interesting is that the name is derived from the flower "alyssum" which used to be thought to cure skin diseases!

[@SoleilCeline]

Oooo wait Kalyn how are you liking Paper Mario, I've been thinking of getting it, or possibly one of the other Mario games

[@nohelanikh6788]

I couldn’t decide whether or not to read Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, but I’m going to try it now. 😃

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes you definitely should! Especially if you like mythology, also the audiobook made it so much more funny as well!

[@nohelanikh6788]

KalynAbridged I’ll definitely listen to the audiobook! I love the audiobook for Coraline, thanks for the recommendation.

[@autumnschutz7961]

My name actually means “colorful one” and is quite the opposite of my personality. I’m actually named cuz my due date was on the first day of Autumn so my mom took it as a sign, but of course I wasn’t born on that day.

[@benevolentink3552]

My name means peace and for sound wise, I'm not peaceful but I like to make peace. I'm a peace maker and I hate arguments.

[@KalynAbridged]

I think that for sure works very well, that’s super cool! 🥰

[@benevolentink3552]

🥰🥰

[@twilover89]

My name means blue sky or some places purple blue sky. Also have you read the book for Discovery or Witches? I’ve heard great things and it’s part of a trilogy!!

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh that’s such a neat meaning! Do you like days with blue skies?! Yes I’m definitely going to add it to my list, the first episode totally hooked me so I can’t wait to read!

[@twilover89]

KalynAbridged I actually love fall and I’m not a summer girl at all but I fell in love with the stars and doing night photography as a hobby so I think anything to do with the sky, moon, and stars is fitting for me 😊 I’ve also been wanting to read the trilogy but have been fighting the urge to watch the show since I saw the dvd set at Target lol

[@Hairsteel]

Okay... can someone pleeaaaassseeeee help me. I'm from the UK and it's impossible to find acai. Does anyone know of any websites I can order acai from without it costing a million pounds :(

[@alexusbrown4772]

Can you start another book club? Or how can I enter the current book club?

[@KalynAbridged]

I just talked about it in my newest vlog.

[@alexusbrown4772]

I watched it. Thank you!

[@pattireinheimer5612]

Did you know Discovery of Witches is the first book in a trilogy by Deborah Harkness?

[@kaylaklassen4869]

My name is Kayla and it means Beloved, not too sure what that means really! Lol

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww I’m sure you are loved by so many!! 💛💛

[@batshevaschecter3975]

I’m Jewish. My name is Batsheva, named for the wife of David, mother of Solomon. It means daughter of Oath. But I think it more embodies the person who I was named after, my mother’s grandmother.

[@batshevaschecter3975]

And I think my parents intention was that I turn out to be like the amazing person she was

[@batshevaschecter3975]

But as a Jew, we believe the Hebrew letters have meaning in and of themselves- and strung together they hold the meaning in the name

[@batshevaschecter3975]

It’s said that when we arrive in heaven we will be asked 3 questions. The first- our name, and those who didn’t work to embody it will not remember it.

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh my goodness thank you so much for sharing. What an amazing story behind your name. Also that’s super interesting about the letters having meaning!

[@latoyalewis]

Ok great re: Home Before Dark - everyone is reading this and I’ve been so on the fence!

[@NadaAlawadhi]

My name is Nada, pronounced as Nedda, and it means the morning dew, or generosity. My zodiac is cancer which is a water sign so my personality is very based on that, so I guess the name goes along with it well. I recommend you check out the Bible Project channel or website, they have illustrated videos to help you understand the Bible more. I just started reading the Bible for the first time and they’re helping me a lot.

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh wow that’s really cool it definitely matches with your zodiac! I love fellow Cancers, sensitive and sweet! 🥰 Yes I absolutely LOVE the Bible Project, they do such an amazing job to help wrap up the chapters of the Bible. That’s so amazing you’re reading it! Let me know how it goes!

[@NadaAlawadhi]

KalynAbridged yay I knew you had cancer vibes in you 🥰... Thank you! I’m only at beginning but it’s going really well. And the Bible project videos are helping me understand it better... but the whole experience is like you can finally see the light and realize you’ve been living your whole life in darkness.

[@SensoryVibes]

Awesome video, as always! 👍 I love your channel. Come and visit us too if you can one day, would love to show you what we've been up to 😊💖

[@khrystynakv]

I also want to try weekly vlogging on my channel, but its hard to read more than one or two books. I do have a full time job and there are so many distractions so I have no idea how some other Booktubers do it. I would love some advice. Please check out my channel if you'd like :)

[@Lady95Jane]

I have a Hebrew right name, it means God is Gracious

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh wow that’s such a cool meaning behind your name! Definitely a good quality.
