Intentionally Bookish

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.

Trick or Treat! Halloween Cozy Mysteries 🎃
My favorites are Nancy Drew series, Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen, Hamish McBeth series by MC Beaton , Death on Demand by Carolyn Hart, & the Gaslight Mystery series by Victoria Thompson. There are many more, but these are ones that I pick up when they come out! I love that you review cozy mysteries. It's my favorite genre!
You are such a SOLID/INTELLIGENT reviewer/communicator. I know this review was a while back, haha - but I'm STILL impressed. FYI, I'm an actor & I read a lot of good & bad scripts. Through the years, I've differentiated was is good AND the bad, by reading novels/novellas. Your review was so informative! Congrats!
Love floppy paperbacks too for sure. Plus I really enjoyed this format 😊
❤😊
Omg I love your necklace
eep, thank you!!
I'm going to give the Christmas thief a try. Thanks for the recommendations.😊
i hope you enjoy! :)
Beautiful necklace, it looks adorable - and so are your house and your dog! I am so happy to hear that you love Mary and Carol Higgins Clark too (and their Christmas novels are classics!). MHC books were the first adult thrillers I read, and I love CHC humour and coziness.
thank you so much! and MHC was my first foray into mysteries too! :)
I'm putting my Christmas tree up this weekend! I hardly decorated for fall/Halloween this year. I read Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder earlier this year and look forward to reading more of that series! I look forward to hearing what you thought of Blueberry Muffin Murder! 😊
hooray! here's to the upcoming holiday season!
That Carol Higgins Clark looks SO GOOD! 🎄
so cozy, right??
Blueberry Muffin Murder is my favorite in the Joanne Fluke series
Oooh that makes me excited to read it!
Love some Murder She Wrote books📖
Right??
I'm a wait until a couple weeks before Christmas to decorate. I'm really not into decorating. I read Mary Higgins Clark decades ago and they weren't cozy at all! 😂
lol MHC isn’t quintessential cozy, but Carol Higgins Clark books & the ones they cowrite lean a little more cozy 😉
Love the "floppy", as well! 🙂
When I was in high school, my mom & I would hang out & read Mary Higgins Clark. Loved the format. I'm a team wait until after Thanksgiving.
I love that you two shared that!
I love your teacups necklace! Where Are the Children was my first Mary Higgins Clark book that stands out in my mind. Correct me if I’m wrong.
OMG youre totally right! I loved that book. One of my faves is Loves Music, Loves to Dance. But honestly you cant go wrong with any of them lol
I too love the Tea Shop Mystery series!!! I'm not very far into the series but but I'm totally hooked.
luckily there are tons to get through!
Hello Spencer! I've been watching your videos for a little while. I really liked that you shared your time at the Ashland Cozy Mystery Festival. I've read through book 13 on the Hannah Swenson series and I have been enjoying them. I also read Twisted Tea Christmas during last December when I read mainly Christmas cozies that month. I think that book had a recipe for Drayton's pork chops that I made and thought they were pretty good. I also try to find some of the teas that he recomends because I love tea. I read mostly Halloween & fall book this past month but there were a couple that were not because I try to read my series in order. I'm probably reading about 15 series right now but I switch between all of them. I've found a couple of Thanksgiving books for November but I'll read them later in the month. Thank you for your videos and book recommemdations.
I'm in the middle of a bunch of series too! Glad you were able to get some fall seasonal books in! I'm so excited to start christmas, i'll probably overlap :) thanks for watching!!
This is my first time commenting - I just want to say how much I love the channel and enjoy listening to you talk about books! This was a fun video, I felt like we were just two friends talking about what we love to read, that’s so fun!! I’m excited to see the next one.
thank you so much, piper! i was hoping to come across as friends chatting, because that's what we do here!
Love Joanne Fluke, Laura Child, Mary Higgins Clark Books, have all of the series in each of the authors. One thing I like about each of the author’s is they are cozy and clean. I really enjoy your videos 😊
thank you so much :) and yes, they are all definitely cozy, which i love!
Love love your necklace
thank you so much! i adore it
LOVE the format, love the setting, love it all. Loving the covers!!
Aww, you sweet bean. Thank you so much! <3
I love this. Feel like I'm chatting with a friend. I need to start the Tea Shop series and the Hannah Swenson.
totally!
Fun video. Love Laura Childs and Mary Higgins Clark novels
me too!
You’re brilliant! ✨✨
thank you, jess! xo
Pss lol yes i’ve read all of their books❤
look at you! quite an achievement because there are so many!
Ps great book haul have to check some out📚
yes, you should! :)
Great idea with FaceTime chat😊 loved this format must do more like this🤗📚💙
OK, will do!
I just literally started the first book in the tea mystery series and I'm enjoying it.
wonderful!
I absolutely loved every single one of the Hannah Swensen series by Joanne Fluke. ❤ Loved the Hallmark movies based on them too.
I adore the movies too! I'm in need of a rewatch :)
Love the book series! I've made quite a few of the recipes & they turned out great! I'm not a fan of the movies because they drastically differ from the books.
I read the Joann Fluke books in order of my fondness for the desserts. Since lemon meringue is my favorite dessert, that is the book I started with.
i LOVE that idea and am totally going to do that!!!
I like this video format!! And library hauls are the best
yay! thank you :)
Loved this style of video. Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter go way back for me. Sadly I know she passed away and I'm thinking also her daughter 😔
thanks! MHC is such a classic
I read a few Christmas new release cozy mysteries - A Merry Little Murder Plot by Jenn McKinley and Sleep In Heavenly Pizza by Mindy Quigley and they have not gotten me into the Christmas spirit. It's too early for me. The Fall cozies have been perfect - In the Blink of a Pie by Catherine Burns and A Berry Suspicious Death by Peg Cochran. I hope you enjoy all of the books you hauled and your Christmas decorating!
thanks, cat! hopefully you find some books that get you into the holiday sprit when youre ready! ;) haha
I’ve been meaning to start the tea shop mysteries! I love reading seasonally too!! Still have some fall cozies to finish though!
haha me too. fall isnt long enough!
For the storyton books can you read them out of order or are they connected in order?
Each book has a different standalone murder, but the overarching character development is connected and in order. I would recommend at least reading the first book, as it explains the overall premise of the series, then you can jump in wherever!
Excellent review and video
Thank you so much!
@IntentionallyBookish you're welcome dear!
Thanks for sharing all about the event! I’m really hoping to attend next year. :)
I hope youre able to attend!!
Spencer!! It was great to meet you in Ashland! Thanks for capturing so many great moments in this vlog so that I can re-live it 😁
so thrilled to have met you as well. already daydreaming of next year!
Just finished book #57. I never listened to the books but I’m open to it, we’ll see. Very best audiobook read has to be Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series read by Lorelei King. Ms. King is incredible; I’ve had to pull the car over to laugh.
Really?? I love the Stephanie Plum series and have been wanting to reread it... i suppose i'll have to check it out on audio! thanks for the tip :)
It was fun to see Courtny at her debut signing too! So excited for her 😊
so happy for her! hope you had a good time as well :) ready to go back!
This was truly the best festival! So glad I was able to go this year and I loved reliving it through your vlog 💙
Youre too sweet! Can't wait to go again next year :)
I'm currently working on writing my own cozy Mystery series. The first book is definitely taking place in fall as fall is my favorite season so it made sense. I'm having a lot of fun writing it. And hope to see it on one of your lists someday after it gets published 😊
Happy writing! Keep us posted on your progress!
Wish we had something like this in NYC! Then again the setting wouldn't be as cozy and charming.
New York is special in the fall, so I'm sure theres a way to make it feel cozy :)
Love this! Cant wait to be there next year
Yes!! Here's to next year's festival!
Loved everything about this! 🧡
Aw, thank you so much!
This was so great Spencer! It was so fun seeingin you and already longing for next year!
yes!! I'm ready to see you again!
I was there this year and was too nervous to say anything to you, but I had a blast and I'm glad you did too! <3
Oh goodness! I promise i dont bite ;) Next year let's totally chat it up!! xo
This looked so fun
It definitely was!
I like your b roll
Thanks so much Precious!!
Everything looks so amazing!!! Thank you for taking us along!😍
of course! it was an absolute blast!
