Great video! You look so young...like a teenager../when reading on the couch. That's a compliment❤

95% of what I watch is Booktube. When I tell people that...they look at me like I have two heads 😂😂😂

That book sounds depressing. I get migraines too...and I think this book would give me one😅

Im surprised you gave this book 4 stars! Watching you read...when you weren't enjoying it...seems like it would be a 1 or 2 star. Or a DNF!😂

Your wearing the nail varnish from the previous month's unboxing👍 I love nail varnish...and of course...I mainly wear turquoise, aqua, and any and all blues! 💙

So cool that you were in the spotlight on BTM's Instagram!👍

I really did watch and listen and focus...but that otter lamp! Too cute!☺️

I appreciate that you mentioned Cantonese! So many people forget that Chinese people have many dialects, and Cantonese is one of the oldest, if not actually the oldest 😊

Wow even the original UK cover is very different than the US version

Those end papers....so beautiful!! The book synopsis has me wanting to read it as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing!💙

whoa, that's such a beautiful edition! i love the colors and the new cover, it's so eye-catching. i hadn't heard about this book before, and though i enjoy mulan retellings, i'll probably pass on this one 😅

Such a stunning edition - I just have no interest in reading it!! Seems to be my theme for so many book boxes at the moment!! Hope you’re well!! Xx

For me, this is the first time they have knocked it out of the park with their cover version, the reverse and the hardcover. Everything is stunning and the colours are some of my favourites - love purples, blues, greens and pinks together.

Great unboxing! I'm here for all the Mulan retellings at the moment 😊

Morning Michelle, good to see you back in another video

Yes, Mulan and Merida from Brave both came before Frozen with no love interest.

Thanks for joining me for this one ❤ Hope that you’re all well x

Wait!...you got rid of VE Schwab books?

I love your T-shirt!❤️

As I am rewatching your hauls..to determine what book editions I want to get...I have finally realized why Fairyloot has never appealed to me. They put the barcode on the back of their books....and it takes away from it being a "special edition"! Eye opener for me👍❤️

Thank you for sharing your story, Michelle, I think what you achieved is incredible! I loved what you said about how it wasn't a failure because of the experience it gave you. I think that's so true, and I hope one day you're able to open your physical bookstore 💜

This was a great video, Michelle, really eye-opening and inspiring. I have also always wanted to own a bookshop, but I didn’t know the first thing about book buying and etc. so I became a books distributor and I love my job enough that it’s distracted me from looking further into owning a bookshop. I know what it’s like to need that stable guaranteed income, and look forward to the retirement days when the commitment of a bookshop is more feasible. ❤ Love your book bar idea! x

This is a cool video. I think this is a cool idea. I know I have always wanted to own a bookstore but I know it’s not financially feasible right now. So I def feel that! That’s why I made my channel. I wanted to be able to share my love of books and how they saved me. I do love the idea of the Bookstore/Bar. I have always love the idea of a Queer bookstore/Coffee shop that would be open later in the day and late at night to be a safe haven for Queer people that need a place to go. Like maybe Noon to 2am type thing. But who knows. Sending you all the hugs! I hope you can accomplish this dream one day. Until then love the Channel will be here supporting you from Oklahoma ❤

Gook luck! I hope you get to realize your dream. You have a wonderful, cozy booktube channel!

So proud of you!! ❤

I loved this much Michelle! Please please open the bookshop bar in Lichfield in the future! It would work so well there. I know I would be there every week, for sure!🍸📖

Thank you for sharing your story, unfortunately the climate for a ‘shop’ industry is on a steep decline so i think you made the right decision. As you say you never know what the future quite looks like and you may find that setting up a bookshop is the direction you want to go. Either way, i wish you luck in what endeavour you take. Always proud of what you have done, keep doing what you’re doing, doing an amazing job. Also your Parents are amazing humans and wish them well. Take care ❤

Oh Michelle! Loved listening to your story and we are so similar! I've had many years of teaching gigs and it is every layer of “difficult” in this era. Too many responsibilities with too many parents criticizing you for what you are trying your BEST to do with near 30 kids under your solitary lead. I haven’t given up on it, but have taken a break (since pandemic) and not feeling much urge to return. My husband’s side gig has recently delved into property management (which I have been helping with) and a great little shop popped up within our grasp and I was very much interested in the potential, but knew nothing on opening a bookshop, needed the money coming in, and let that "idea"" go to another’s business at present. Do you have any helpful online resources about book businesses you could share (or link in your description) of a few you found extremely helpful in your journey? I’m 40 and dream about opening a children’s/YA bookshop that is community event-based. :). Don't give up on your visions!! I believe in things “feeling right” and doors never completely closing for any one person only to open again later. ❤🩵💛

Awww, thank you for sharing your story... I love how supportive your parents are. And, I think you're mom is right. Just because it didn't happen for you at that time, it doesn't mean it won't happen for you at a later time. I think you would make a great bookshop owner. Your passion for books really shows in your videos. I don't know if you realize this, but your videos really do bring me great joy and influence me to read more. I know I have picked up some books that I wouldn't normally pick up for myself because of your videos.

With the Covid crisis a few years ago...so many small businesses went under and lost everything. I think you made the right decision to not open the physical bookshop at that time. Your parents advice is so spot on...and you now have time to plan for it's potential...in your retirement years. When my kids were young..I worked at a small independent bookshop. The owner and her husband were there 24/7. It's a big commitment. A satisfying one...but big! Keep your dream alive...and keep planning for your future! Thank you for sharing!❤

This is a bit of a different video for me. I feel vulnerable putting my feelings and emotions online; it I hope that you’ve enjoyed listening to my story ❤

The 1st disclaimer went straight to my heart! Since I film a lot of unboxings too, I feel like some people don't get that collecting books is a passion and that it brings us joy and that it's our own money we're spending. Do whatever makes you happy lovely! Sending you lots of hugs 🤗🫶

Hi Michelle! I have rewatched this video, and after a week of contemplation...I finally ordered this OC edition. I love fairytale retellings....and can't wait to read it as soon as it gets here! Are you still receiving the adult OwlCrate subscription? I'm on the wait-list😊❤

Ooo love this haul!!! Hope you love all the books!

I'm so surprised that you don't read much fantasy.... considering your shelves in the background☺️. I don't read anything but fantasy (and fairytale retellings here and there). I prefer to escape real life....into fantastical worlds! 😂😂😂 Although when it comes to Asian literature...I love it all...no matter the genre! I really enjoy your videos...these unboxings are so satisfying! Have a great day Michelle!❤

Now this is the kind of propaganda I support

BTW love your hair 😂 I actually thought it looked a bit wavy x

OMG! I love the vase. I really want a book vase, they’re so cool x

I like hearing about horror books...but the only horror books that I can read are middle grade😂

This was such a great video! Hope you will do it again with 2024's books❤

I can't believe all the purple books this year! My least favorite color. Locked Box doesn't deliver to the U.S. so I appreciate you sharing your unboxings. I can't get these editions...yet can still get the books you share. Thank you Michelle!❤

Hi Michelle, I expect that you're in Germany right now enjoying your vacation. Hope that you have/had great weather and a wonderful time. So, the book ... I love the bold, bright colours and the floral design. Lime green and purple are great combos. The gold embossed hardback is lovely too. I'm not much for fairy tale retellings but it is a pretty redesign all over. The book vase is lovely and fun and I'd make good use of the stickers since I've taken up journaling again and like to decorate the pages of my journal. Stickers also take the focus away from my questionable handwriting. Ahem!! Ah, the death of a hairdryer ... the sort of crisis you don't need first thing in the morning. Though I must say that your hair looks very nice, even if damp. Thanks for sharing as always Michelle. Cheers!!

Still catching up on your videos!

My birthday is in October too!👍 Tho I'm at least 25 years older😂

Oooo I love a bit of book shopping in Brum! Haven't popped there in a while, you may have inspired a little pay day trip! Not sure if you're in the right direction, but Worcester has a lovely little bookshop come cafe called Scripthaven now, which is nice to browse around.

I'm sorry just a personal observation but this box has too much pink for me

Hi, new to yr channel. Question, why do you buy hardback books not paperback?

Hi there! You popped up on my feed so this is my first video of yours 😍 Make sure you check your Illumicrate book. Mine started on page 181 and the pages were out of order throughout the book. I’ve never seen anything so insane 🙃

I enjoy your videos! Have you thought about trying Once Upon A Book Club as a subscription? I think you might enjoy it. They ship worldwide

I love your videos so so much. I am saving your new book haul for this weekend when I get some me time and seeing a few of the books you have in the background has me even more excited 👀
