WHY IS THIS SO HARD? | VLOG | RUTH CRILLY

Pre-order my book, How Not To Be A Supermodel here: geni.us/hownot...
Audiobook version: geni.us/Superm...
For non-UK orders, Waterstones deliver worldwide and that's probably the quickest way of getting it after publication date!
The little light I have that clips on the phone is this one from Amazon (ad-affiliate link): amzn.to/4bIRXiZ
I stayed at the Ruby Zoe hotel in Notting Hill - was pleasantly surprised. This was the cheapest room type - a "cosy" double.
I have been recording my audiobook at ID Studios in Kilburn. I was wearing (because someone will ask!): white blouse from Wyse London (previous season), floral shirt from Current Elliot (REALLY old!), blue chambray shirt from Anthropologie.
My cat is a British Shorthair, golden tipped cream - he's twelve. Stone.

I was so scared there for a second, thought the video was about Mr. Bear!

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh God sorry!!! xx

[@rosiew8-fenn]

So did I! Xx

[@lauracrosby9165]

Me too!!!!

[@JorgelinaVega]

God, I love Mister Bear! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cindyk8743]

Who wouldn’t want to hear the audio version of this book!! I can’t wait.

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you!

[@joannehunter4953]

I hope there will be a special chocolate bar to go with the book, can't wait!

[@tamcon72]

She's got months to find the perfect one!

[@RuthCrilly]

@@tamcon72 well. Funny you say this!! Watch this space...

[@spiritcreek9813]

Love Mr. Bear, he’s a cutie. Good luck on your book launch.

[@jeanjennings5712]

I admire you for having the discipline to read your book for recording. I don't think I could do it. That's a LOT of concentration and speaking. Anyway, I've been following you for some time now, and I really enjoy your videos. You don't take yourself too seriously, which makes you SO real! Be safe and God bless you and your loved ones.

[@RuthCrilly]

It was so tiring! I couldn't believe it. Amazingly though, I did actually enjoy "reading" it again even though I must have read it about thirty times in all with various edits! I was chortling away.... : )

[@burtring]

@@RuthCrilly Imagine how Steven Toast feels LOL. I hope there was a Clem Fandango in the studio :)

[@RuthCrilly]

@@burtring Hahahahahah

[@rbr2023]

Can’t wait to read the book……but also….more Mr Bear content please? 😊😊😊

[@RuthCrilly]

Noted!

[@rbyrne2694]

Bravo to you Ruth for reading an audiobook. I have written several books and all of them are audiobooks that I have read. The more you do, the better you get. My tip for you. I only do two days straight and then I take a break for a couple of days and then back to finish up. The reason is to protect my throat and so that my voice sounds as good as possible. I always go back and read the first part of chapter one at the end so the book begins with a super flowing voice. . I will be ordering your audiobook as soon as it's released in the US. In the meantime, wishing you every success.

[@angieagentlesoul]

What very good advice.

[@ursulaclarke6066]

I don’t know what I’m more excited for…..knowing Waterstones delivers worldwide, I did not know that or your book. I live in New Zealand, originally from the UK, so I’m off to the Waterstones online store. Thanks Ruth, looking forward to the book.

[@RuthCrilly]

Ah great! I didn't know this either until recently!

[@slucas4]

Mr. Bear is everything!

[@jojomarch]

your cat is so clever! Reading a book twice is no small feat (or paw)

[@pheart2381]

I remember being in The Wizard of Oz at school. I played an opium poppy.

[@RuthCrilly]

HA! xx

[@SkyBlueWooHoo]

0:56 Please can i use "Boo Hoo Oh God" as my ringtone for when my sister calls me? She likes to have a good moan and never asks how im doing when she calls🤣

[@RuthCrilly]

HA!! Please do.

[@adriannascaggs4660]

Can’t wait to get your book 😊 Congrats

[@RuthCrilly]

: )

[@ilonna9623]

29th is my birthday, I cannot wait for my pre-ordered present!! Thank you so much Ruth for 'making' my gift🥰

[@RuthCrilly]

: ) how exciting!

[@annareblfleur2369]

your cat is so funny, love his face expressions 😂❤ and so gentle

[@latim78]

Mister Bear❤

[@RuthCrilly]

xxxx

[@tamcon72]

Looking forward to getting the hardback of the book when it comes out in the States; you are a great writer and wit, so I know I'll enjoy it! Looks like it was a productive visit in town and I'm sure the audiobook will be wonderful. Thanks for posting 🙂

[@katyp.2495]

Your book will be my birthday (28th August) treat to myself 😉! I've tried audio books several times, but the sound of someone reading to me has me absolutely soundo 😴 within 10 minutes, and I've never ever got to the end of the story. Mr Bear btw, is a very handsome lad.

[@sueanderson9860]

Oh my birthday is also August 28th 🎉🎉

[@katyp.2495]

Happy early birthday🎂greetings to both of us then 😁.

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh my God, me too!! Hopefully I won't send everyone to sleep...

[@ReneeC43]

I've pre-ordered it! ❤ I almost never actually buy a book since I use the library more, but the laughs you bring have brightened my day many times, so this is my thank you to you. 🤗 I can't wait to read it!

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh thank you!! xx

[@cwynn1547]

Can't wait to read your book, although I am in the States. 🍷💄🏝️

[@kathytabas3560]

Well done! Hugs from Canada

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you x

[@problem.skinnn]

Hey Ruth! Where is the little light from that you show at 10:37? Only if you remember! Thanks! Also congratulations on your book and audiobook! Reading aloud and listening to your own voice for ages is HARD (I’m an actor haha.)

[@jenniferclyde8911]

Love a bit of Mr. Bear ❤ can’t wait to read the book! which I have preordered from waterstones as instructed 😂

[@RuthCrilly]

Hahaha, thank you!

[@lauracrosby9165]

Mr bear is just the most gorgeous distinguished large gentleman cat ❤❤❤

[@burtring]

I love this content. Is your London Blouse Wyse ?

[@alisonbrown5891]

That was so interesting Ruth.Your book is certainly going on my ‘to read’ list As for Mister Bear,he’s a beaut🥰We had a female British Blue /Cream shorthair cat.She died last year at the age of 16 but sadly she didn’t have a personality that you want in a cat,she was spiteful and you couldn’t stroke here as she’d just hang off your arm with claws firmly in place😂She preferred my husband and would only sit on his lap for 10 mins at the most.Mister Bear just looks adorable 😊

[@RuthCrilly]

He's very soft and cuddly! Luckily x

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

Well done 👍

[@sarahbee27]

I ordered the book when you first mentioned it but now I feel I might need the audio book too. I won’t get your accents correct in my head 😂

[@RuthCrilly]

I mean, I don't get the accents right either

[@janemackrell3733]

Ooh interesting! Do they have just one studio for all audio books, or does each publisher have it’s own recording studio I wonder

[@RuthCrilly]

No, there are quite a few but this studio does LOADS and a lot of the big celeb/famous author ones. And then me, lol x

[@johoheneenflesmetrum]

Preordered ✅

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you! xx

[@msaditu]

I can't find your book on Audible. 😢 Will it be available at some point outside of the UK? I really want to get the audiobook to hear you read it.

[@emiliebova]

I will read the book, but I already know how to not be a super model! 😂😂😂 My parents fixed that for me, just not born very pretty.

[@angieagentlesoul]

Oh for God's sake. You didn't even tease us with a single line. Arhhh, uggg.

[@RuthCrilly]

I'm not allowed I'm afraid! Exclusivity deal x

[@MsTwiggy28]

Lovely thumbnail ❤
