[@KaylasBookishVibes]

you and your son at the end is literally me and my sister in law every time we see each other 😂🤣😂 we can t help it at this point we just slip into a british accent and i have no clue why or when it started.

[@joycewesley]

😂😂😂 Hey Kayla girl! Accents are just so much fun. Same thing happened to us. One day we just started doing it and it was so funny and fun so we kept it up. 🤭 I love that for you and your SIL!

[@joycewesley]

Awe, I missed you guys as well. Thanks so much for the encouragement and support. I really appreciate it. Sending love and big hugs your way as well 🤗See you in the next one 🫶🏽

[@tinawonderfullymade]

Absolutely love watching your vids…makes me feel like I’m on FaceTime with ya talking all things family and bookish stuff❤ And happy belated bday to your daughter…my youngest is 19 (20 in November) and it’s so hard to see our babies grow to become adults but so rewarding to witness as well.❤😊

[@joycewesley]

Hi Tina! Thanks for watching. I’m so happy you feel a fun relaxed vibe while watching my videos. 🫶🏽That’s always my goal! And you’re right! Watching our babies become adults is both hard and rewarding. It’s like….let me see if anything I taught you sticks 😅

[@booklovewithlisa]

"It's okay if you're not okay" - I love this saying as well! [Oh, and it's good to know the candy is plantbased; I'll have to try it!]

[@joycewesley]

I really appreciate that quote as well. And I was shocked that it was plant based. It’s actually really good to be a plant based candy.

[@ShanajayeandEric]

Me and Eric definitely hope to be cute old souls together too! Thank you for saying the spice level. I wish people would incld this more in their review.

[@joycewesley]

You’re welcome! 😊You’re absolutely right.. adding the spice level to reviews is extremely helpful. I’ll make sure to do that from here on out.

[@ShanajayeandEric]

Hey sis hey! Happy Friday! Listening on my way to work …

[@AlishaSheffey]

TC can’t possibly be 19 😭😭 The outtakes sent me. Mikey is hilarious! 😂

[@joycewesley]

Ikr like where has the time gone 🥹Best outtakes starring my favorite son 🤪😅💙

[@TashimaC]

Loved this vlog! Can I just say that Lily had me tearing up? She has come so far from when you first started posting videos. Today isn’t the first time I noticed but I wanted to share today to encourage you.❤ Isn’t that one of the best parts of the book when they finally get to the title? Okay, let me finish watching.

[@joycewesley]

Aww, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🫶🏽Thanks so much for noticing Lily’s growth. She’s been working so hard and I’m so proud of her. 🙏🏽🥹 I really appreciate the compliment for my nugget. 😊🫶🏽

[@TashimaC]

@@joycewesley you’re welcome 😇

[@BookishBeatrice]

Joyce your videos are a vibe! ❤

[@joycewesley]

Aww, I really appreciate that. Thank you for the compliment and for watching. 🫶🏽😊

[@ElleBeatrice]

Aww Lily is such a big girl! I love it when the title of a book ties the story together! Happy Belated Birthday to Tristan🎈

[@joycewesley]

Ikr my Lily is growing up 😩 That’s definitely one of the best parts of any book.

[@teamshanicextra]

Hi Mrs. Wesley! It’s been a while since I’ve commented…but I’ve been keeping tabs. I really like the vlog style drops. The hair looks great…My Wifey just got her hair braided but didn’t clear the platinum with me beforehand 😂. Self care is important. Wifey and I are due for massages. I really like escape rooms but it takes the right group. I am the weak link sometimes with those but usual my knowledge of obscure trivia ends up making the difference. I dig the shirt. People should really try to “be nice”. Do you know what I’ve noticed…” Dudes don’t say “excuse me” anymore. I when I really sit and think about it, I am old now so I should be the “excusee”, not the “excuser”. “The Mixtape” sounds interesting… cute as you say. I’m okay with therapy, but for some reason I still see it as a luxury. Maybe someday I’ll be moved to do it. Well said about “Religious Folks”. People want grace for themselves but forget about everyone else for some reason. 🤔 Don’t spoil the title-tea! Haha! If folks wanna know they need to support those authors that spend all that time and creative energy writing. “…Because I CAN!” You told me! RE: Christmas Book Shirt! 😂😂😂 Oooh! Look at that meal! Especially the Mac! I am more of a pastry person (unfortunately)😢. As long as the spice is organic and not excessive, right? Were they married by the time they “spiced” each other? Practicing the “Cockney” accents, not bad! I use to do a decent BANE but not so much! Great vlog Mrs. Wesley! Thoroughly enjoyed as usual. 😊❤😊

[@ShanajayeandEric]

What he said!!! You already know we watch together 😂

[@joycewesley]

Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate you guys. 🤗I love the long comment. It shows that you enjoy the video and had a lot to say about it😅. Husband and I are overdo for massages as well. Hopefully we can go soon. And I know, I know. I’m not gonna spill the title tea, or if they were married when the spice occurred. 🤪😊 I don’t mind spice either. I just hate when it’s excessive. So happy you guys enjoy my videos! 🤭

[@BrynnD]

I loved The Mixtape so much!!! Definitely a 5 star read for me. The outtake has me in tears 😭😭😂😂😂

[@joycewesley]

Such a cute book!

[@miamihurricanes4193]

Loved the out takes and the end with your girls dancing together absolutely cute cute cute!

[@joycewesley]

Thank you!

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I totally need a tote like that! I'm a major tea drinker (and obviously a big reader) so it's perfect!

[@joycewesley]

I love it! It’s perfect for tea and book lovers. I got it on Amazon.

[@simplymerrion4823]

Love your hair! I love how you are comfortable in your natural. Keep shining!

[@joycewesley]

Thanks so much!

[@michelletrammel718]

First of all I love watching your videos! I want you to know that I had to pause the video to find my phone to write this comment which I never really do. Your little one climbing the windowsill had me cracking up! I am also an autism mom and my little girl is around your daughter’s age. I am always catching her in high places. SMH. This journey is not an easy one but I appreciate you sharing yours because it is comforting to know that I’m not alone. #the friend I need in my head. Blessings

[@joycewesley]

Amen! Knowing we’re not alone on this journey has been a huge blessing for me as well. I love when other autism moms share. I know it can be a hard and overwhelming thing to talk about at times, but there is so much power in sharing. Which is exactly why I share. I want other autism moms to feel seen if they ever find my channel. Being a parent of a neurodivergent child is both a blessing and a challenge. There is a lot to learn and navigate. Therefore community is wildly important to me. Thank you so much for watching, and then going above and beyond to comment. I really appreciate the support. 🫶🏽

[@mrsbethanynoel]

I absolutely loved buddy reading with you!! What an amazing vlog as always, and I loved the british accents! 😂😂😂😂I am screaming!!!

[@joycewesley]

[@BookishIntrovert63]

Im currently reading iris Kelly doesn't date by Ashley herring Blake

[@pomsandbooks]

I don’t know if this is weird to say because you are a grown woman, but I think you’re such a cutie pie lol 😆 Your videos are very comforting to me. I just bought Summer Romance too and I’m excited to read it, it will be my first book by the author.

[@joycewesley]

Not weird at all 😊Thanks so much! I appreciate the compliment and support. I’m so happy you find my videos comforting. It makes me so happy when people say that. 🤗 Yayy I’m so happy you’re reading an Annabel M. book. Hopefully you enjoy it!

[@gabbylikestoread]

Always a joy to watch your videos! Happy Birthday Tristan!! I've heard good things about Brittany Cherry but I wasn't sure about the spice! Thanks for reviewing it. And... not cooking so hard you need a backbrace lol

[@joycewesley]

Ikr lol! Girl my back was hollering 😅Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and commented. 🫶🏽I hadn’t seen a comment from you in a while. Thought I lost ya there for a second. 😫😅I’m so glad I mentioned the spice level in the review. A few ppl in the comments were wondering about that as well. If you like low spice I say give it a go.

[@rachelbolick]

Hey Friend, Happy Friday. I love all of your videos and hearing you talk about books. I don’t know how you find the time to do KZbin, work a full time job, and be a wife/mom. 😵

[@joycewesley]

Hi friend! I have no idea how I’m managing it all. It’s definitely a tall task. However, I absolutely love creating content to hang out with you guys and talk about books. I’m trying my hardest to figure out a new groove and schedule. 🤗
