Intentionally Bookish
США
Добавлен 22 сен 2019
Hi, I'm Spencer! 🙋🏽♀️ I post book-related videos, from reviews to reading vlogs to general bookish rambling. I constantly stray from my TBR and while I'll read just about anything, I'd say my go-to genres are mystery/thriller + romance.

I soooo relate about enjoying books but rarely finding a 5 star read that you adore 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy autumn to you from Australia (it’s spring here but I’m enjoying all the autumnal videos haha)
Mmm.. I’ll have to check out your longer cozy reads rec videos. Just covers without even a quick synopsis doesn’t do it for me:( thanks anyway!
Just read the first 5 books in the Night Huntress series and I am loving them. Will have to try the Chicagoland series. Love some paranormal ❤❤❤
Yes!! I love that series so much!
Hello! I listened to one of your podcasts and it had where you could text a question. I did and you never answered it. Just wanted to give you a heads up that something is wrong with your texting. I believe the question was in regards to the bare cozy mystery books. These are really hard to find and I finally found them on Scribd (I think it's Everland now) and they are $15 per book! Is this high to you for a cozy mystery? Can you imagine getting all these books in the series?!
Thanks for the heads up - I’ll look into our podcast settings! As for the Teddybear cozies, the price could be due to the publisher. I picked mine up used so I didn’t realize the retail price. Good to know they’re on Scribd/Everand!
I have We Solve Murders,it's now shot to the top of my TBR.
Yes!! You don’t be disappointed!
I love Urban Fantasy. Anything by Patricia Briggs or Ilona Andrews is a winner.
I have Patricia Briggs on my bookshelf - I guess it’s time to finally pick it up! 😆
I love the way Richard Osman writes humor in his books. We Solve Murders and the Thursday Murder Club series never fail to have me chuckling out loud! He also writes a lot about grief and loneliness and I think he does it very well. I encourage you to try Thursday Murder Club! The 2nd book is my favorite but every book is strong in its way. We Solve Murders was like a funny, very heartfelt spy novel. I haven't read anything by Ellie Alexander, though I have plans to! Would her new series be a good place to start since it doesn't have a bunch of books to catch up on?
He definitely puts emotion in his books! And yes, I do think The new Ellie series (the secret bookcase) is definitely a great series if you’re intimidated by the backlist!
I love your dog in the background! Such a good pupper - snoozing, hanging out, and just listening to mom chat about books. 🐾❤️
Haha he loves his cameos 😁
The doggie in the background made your video even better! I always get super happy when you post! Aloha E
😊 thank you! He loves napping on camera 🥰
I will be at the mystery festival too. I am so excited. Can't wait to connect again.
Yay!! It’s gonna be so much fun!
I can't wait to see all of you in Ashland! I loved the Chicagoland Vampire series. Another few series like that are the Kate Daniel's series by Ilona Andrews & the Mercy Thomas series by Patricia Briggs.
You’ll have to say hi! I hear great things about both those series so I need to check them out!
@IntentionallyBookish will do! Having breakfast at SeaTac before we heading to Medford.
I loved your Ashland vlog last year! Can’t wait to see your new vlogs. I really want to plan on attending next year. Where is the best place for me to watch for announcements for next year?
Ellie Alexander posts updates and news on her Instagram, as well as the travel Ashland page!
Great recommendations! I'm currently reading three books now 📚, one I just purchased, the Mitzy Moon Mysteries book. I am currently trying to get caught up 😂
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh my gosh I had no clue you liked drag race! That’s my favorite show I need to send you a DM lol. Also I’m reading book two of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe series, book 3 came out today and it’s Christmas theme but I don’t think I’ll be able to wait till Christmas time to dive in!!
Yes girl, let’s chat! Hahaha 😂 I think now is a good time to start reading Christmas books 😉
Unpopular opinion. I liked, but didn't love "Thursday Murder Club". I am happy to say I liked it enough to continue the series and each book gets better. Now, I love them.
Ooh good to know! Glad to hear the series as a whole is good ☺️
I really enjoy your videos, i smile as soon as your beautiful face xx
You are so kind 🤍🤍 thank you!
Loved this vlog catching up❤📚🤗
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on We Solve Murders. I am picking mine up from the book store today. You will absolutely love The Thursday Murder Club.
I definitely need to finally read it! 🙈
I care about everything you say! Lol
Thank you, Loren! 😭
Just started following you after beachbumbookworm told me about you!
Welcome!! 🤗
Shady Hollow is such a good series! I’ve read the first three books and the two novellas. 100 percent recommend.
Yesss! 🦉🐸🐭
I just found your channel. I haven't read many cozy mysteries but I'd like to start. I'll have to come back to this video and add the books to a document. Right now I've got to leave. Thanks.
Thanks! Hope you find some good recommendations
All the Lauren Elliot series with Grey Harbour (To the Tome of Murder) are sooooo good and seasonal
Oooh, ok!!
Omg!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!! I’ve been looking for good ku cozies so I can get good future recs! Thanks! I
I'm so glad! ☺️
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I have a real mystery I wish someone could solve!!! What has happened to the Scrapbook Mystery series that Laura Childs writes??!!! She is still writing the Tea Shop mysteries. Laura advertised a new Scrapbook a while back but nobody knows why it was never released! The title had Red in it about a skeleton dug up in the French Quarter. Thank you !! Hoping for more Scrapbook mysteries!!!
Ooh interesting! I wonder when it will release, now I need to know!
@@IntentionallyBookish I give up on the Scrapbook Mystery series!! I can't imagine what happened! She is still writing her other series.
I absolutely loved that book and series.
Wonderful! 👻
I love your enthusiasm for reading it's exactly how I feel
Yay! Book lovers unite!
"Less pumpkin spice but more pumpkins"! That is such an adorable depiction of a cozy Halloween!
🎃🎃
Thank you for the KU list!!!!
Enjoy!!
I'm visually impaired so I do a lot of audiobooks. You can actually train yourself after a while to listen on 2x speed. If you think about it, in an action book you don't have to know details, just the story plot so it's easier to listen faster on that type of audiobook. My training came from college. It's either sink or swim and I knew that I had to learn real fast how to do things on audio because I could not keep up reading with the rest of the class visually.
That’s an interesting way to think of it - thanks for the tip!
Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant was one I enjoyed! 🎃
Nice! 🤗
Thanks for the recs!
You’re welcome!
Thanks so much for showing love to fall KU cozies. I'm embracing fall, inspite of the 80 degree weather in metro Detroit.
Haha we gotta make our own fall!
Thank you so much, I love EVERYTHING Fall! I added these to my TBR. ❤
Woo! 🍂
I recently joined Kindle Unlimited so am excited to try some of these!
I hope you enjoy! 🍂
🎉🎉🎉
Great video! Thank you! I love love love Ellery Adams’ Secret, Book and Scone Society series, and book 4 (Ink & Shadows) takes place in the fall 🍁 That book is on KU at the moment, and I think some of the others in the series are too. 🤓 📚
I have the series! I’ll need to check it out! 🍂
Me looking up every book and thinking oh good they are KU. Then I read the video title 😆😆
😂 at least they’re all available!
@@IntentionallyBookish yes some times they are not the same in the UK
Thanks for this! I really appreciate it! Tonya Kappes rocks! Can't believe she's "indie" Happy Fall!
@@TracyLynn2744 I can’t believe that either!
Tonya Kappes is Indy? Awesome!
Have you read Haunted Ever After by Jen Deluca? Not on KU but I finished it yesterday in one sitting and it’s a great cozy
I haven’t! Thanks for the recommendation
Great selection. I'm still working through your last list. Keep going back to that video :) Have you read the Ruth Morgan series? Hadfield Hall is out soon. It has a Halloween vibe. My last purchase was the Cornish Wedding Murder.
I haven’t! I need to look her up!
I love this! I am not a summer girl, and am ready for fall! Now if only the weather could get the memo!
Right??!
Shady Hollow is amazing! I've read all the books and they are just cozy and fun <3 I'm hoping to read the Teacups and Murder book (lol maybe not in time but soon)
Still need to read Shady Hollow! 🐸🐭🦉
I relate a lot to not making TBRs on my channel bc I’m always changing my mind 😂 love your discussion and also cute decor 🍂
Haha we’re mood readers! 😜
Yes, for the vlog! And I love your fall decor-what a nice way to welcome a new season! Is autumn your favourite season?
Fall is 200% my favorite season 🍂
Yea! FALL MY FAV SEASON!! Hav to check out your recommendations🍁🧡📚🎃p.s. your hair looks cute!
Thank youuu!
Have you read any Nancy Warren The vampire Knitters series?
Yes! We read it for our cozy book club a couple years ago 🧶
Love the shady hollow series, it is so good
