This is a late post because I had a ton of assignments to turn in! I will most likely double post one bookmas day, but I'm not sure which one yet 🤔
In today's video we look at some books, celebrate some birthdays, and get a little real and deep 🫣
See you in tomorrow's video 💕

Hello! I am slowly, but surely, making my way out of my reading slump, and so I decided to do a fall tbr rather than a monthly tbr to take a little bit of the pressure off. Here are the books at the tippy top of my list, and there are still tons that didn't make the list that I'm hoping to also get to! Let's see how many I read from September 22 through November 30th 😂

Booktube Newbie Tag | Starting My RUclips Journey!
and its fun for downloding puzzles for when u have free time too.
ipads are actually cool tho, wouldve been so useful to have in the 90s for school work. i like the highlight and erasers on goodnotes also u can screenshot stuff just copy paste it anywhere, trace over things and duplicate stuff and colour in things without ruining the page itself. all ur books in one neat little device. no more carrying a load of books that ur only going to use a few times also our classmates routinely would forget their homework and im like well why didnt ppls just use these devices before? yes theyre expensive BUT imho once u bought them u going ti use them so much and reuse means u dont have to repurchase a book or print out things as often. my college was super weird where they still insisted on printing out sheets making us carry so many of them like why? u often dont even use all the printed pages they give u anyway
Your cats are so cute 💕 Happy bookmas!
Suzanne Collins Hunger Games? Wow
Awesome video I love jujitsu Kaisen
yesss!! i need more bookish pals who also watch/read jjk
I’m so happy your out of the slump
thank you 🥹 honestly me too it was so frustrating 😭
Thx Christel 👍👍
Awesome video sometimes pronouncing peoples names can be difficult
I have an iPad mini and love it. I have the kindle app, but only to read magazines, or comics. I’m glad you’re enjoying your reading ❤.
“I’m older than my boyfriend but by 2 years” took me out lol😂
@@kaseyknutson5894 in my age gap romance era 😂😂🤪
Please can I ask how you make a list on the app? Like what section is it under? :) Thankyou x
@@saffygymbunny hiii! you can actually do it 2 ways, through the amazon app or kindle app. on amazon if you see a book you like you can add it to a wish list and through the kindle app when you see a book it will also say add to list! then on your kindle app home screen if you scroll down there should be a section of books you’ve added to wish lists :)
The zoom-in on your cat drinking water got me, that was unexpected 😂 Belladonna, Irregular Witches, Listen For the Lie, and If We Were Villains were all so good!! I also want to read The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, Ninth House, and The Secret History this fall! I didn’t love The Atlas Six but I hope you will and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it 😊
@@LibrariesandLattes he’s definitely been a very… fun addition to our little family 😂 i saw your video before i posted and there were a few times where i was like OH NO!!! (i think the ex hex was another oh no 😂) here’s to fall reading 🍁☕️☕️🍂
I hope you get out of your reading slump soon!! That’s the worst feeling. And yay for exiting your lazy girl era, haha I can totally relate and am cheering you on! Looking forward to the different videos you mentioned 😊❤️
I just got my iPad mini 6 in purple today just for reading. I love it as I can access not just kindle, but kobo, google books and Libby. I got the 64gb as well as I’m only going to use it as a reader. I took all apps that I didn’t need off of it and freed up so much more space. Thanks for your video. 😊 I’m also going to keep it in airplane mode to see if my battery life is better. I’ll turn Wi-Fi on when I charge it.
So glad you loved Part of Your World!! I’m halfway through Just For The Summer and am loving it 😍😍😍
@@LibrariesandLattes ahh i need to hurry up and read yours truly because the premise of just for the summer is ACTUALLY how i felt about myself for a loooong time (that i was cursed) so i feel like it might be my fave of the 3 🤭
@@ChristelsTales hurry up then!! I gave Just For The Summer 5 stars 😍
I loved Part of Your World and The Bodyguard, so fun and cute!! Hope you have a great reading month 😊
Since I posted so late, I've actually already read part of your world and i loved it!!! 🙈 It was so cute and I look forward to the next 2. I think I'm reading the bodyguard next!
They’re adding some of the book. It’s another part of the reason there will be two films. So yes, some things might be different.
The producers have said that Defying Gravity was one of the primary reasons they decided to split the film into 2 parts. They said something to the effect of they could not diminish the impact of that moment at the end of the first act. They also rightly believed they could not tell the story of Wicked and do it justice in the constraint of one movie. Splitting it into 2 parts was absolutely the right call.
But you know already people hating it and saying 2 parts wasn’t necessary 🙄
Exactly. I remember in Broadway, i was just sobbing for the entire intermission. Hahaha this will be a YEAR long intermission
@@rbrlm-AgScOrBgFFBro you are COMPLETELY WRONG, Thank You for the joke 🤣👍
@@TheRoseDeathWitchwhat are you talking about? they're right, there have been people complaining, which is annoying. I think you misread their comment. They're saying they don't like it that people are already complaining, which they are.
you need to tell them to talk with GMA at Good Morning America let them know for me okay thank you help me out is real to okay.
awesome video cant wait for the review
keep pausing on little Elphaba. that image speaks a lot.
excellent video the throne of glass series is my favorite series
thank you so much for watching it really means so much to me 🥹 i have loved every tog book so far it’s quickly becoming a favorite as well!!
Great review! I also didn’t want to get a kindle because it was in black and white. I did end up buying one and I don’t notice it as much as I thought I would! I’m actually still interested in getting an iPad also because I can read and watch things on the go. Do you have the link for the case and the stickers?
Thank you 🥺 i’ve been able to think about it more and the “lag” i guess of the kindle is another reason, but i am really jealous of the battery life!! here are all the links for the case and stickers! lmk if it works 🙈 a.co/d/4YvTLXm a.co/d/cW7vtYc a.co/d/2VcrojB a.co/d/37Da43Y a.co/d/edsbUDf a.co/d/7cUFYB0 a.co/d/67ec3pC and honestly a lot of the sticker packs had the same stickers as others, so you definitely don't need to get as many as i did 😅😂
I recommend you to get a magsafe popsoclet and a apple pencil case-sleeve!
i've been looking into an apple pencil case sleeve! right now i just have it on my desk because it gets in the way too much when i have it on the iPad 🙈
The iPads don’t have MagSafe. I just got the 7 & was sad to realize that!
i hope they make Emily wilde autistic canon cause she clearly is also your videos are awesome
i’m so excited to finally read it, that would be great representation 💕 thank you for watching i truly appreciate it 🥺🫶🏼
Great haul! YAY for Emily Wilde! And love the Hamilton pin 😍
I’m so excited for Emily Wilde!! Would you say it’s more of a spring or fall read because I’ve definitely heard both 🤔 They had a few others but I had to go with the Schuyler sisters hehe 🫶🏽
@@ChristelsTales hmm I feel like it could work for any season, even though it’s kind of wintry vibes! I read it in the winter and it felt fitting, but spring would work too 😊 And yes, love me some Schuyler sisters ✌️✌️✌️
I hope to read The Seven Year Slip soon, so glad you loved it!! And I’m Glad My Mom Died was so good, I love listening to memoirs narrated by the author. Know My Name by Chanel Miller is probably my favorite one I’ve listened to so far ❤️
Ahhh the seven year slip put me through soooo many emotions!!! I can’t wait to see what you think about it!
@@ChristelsTales I’m excited to get to it hopefully soon!! 🎉😀
The Crave series is so good!!! You’ll love it
OMG I'm so sorry I just saw this!!!!! 😭🙈 I've definitely been eyeing the crave series even more lately because i want more vampire stories and since it's on kindle unlimited i might start it soon 👀
😳 I have never seen The Strand that empty before. 😳
Now that I think about it, it was pretty empty! I went around 12:30 on a Tuesday, but it definitely started to pick up by the time I left!
Sub because I have an iPad lol
ipad buddies 🫶🏼
I too went with an iPad mini and 64 gb JUST for reading. The pro is ofc too big. It’s for drawing tbh but just in case I keep books there too. Same with the air 5. I really thought I would read there but the screen was too big and the iPad too heavy especially for in bed reading. So got the mini. Absolutely perfect. I had a minimalistic case for it too but I decided to apply a skin on it! It feels even more lightweight and like an ereader book vibe. I love it. My only,T concern is that I will run out of storage. I’m at 24 go and I have about 200 books on it. I wish I had my whole physical library on it too. So I have about 50 mangas on there. Those are taking up a lot of storage like 100-200 ish mg versus 10mb from typical books. Or less than 10. So I’m going to refrain from buying any more manga except the current series I’m trying to complete but that’s it. If any more manga is on my list to get, I’ll add it to the iPad Air 5 since manga might be nicer to read on a bigger screen. Plus I blaze through manga so it’s not long sessions of reading. Btw your commentary is quite funny and pleasant. Hope your channel blows up with lots of subs!
I am absolutely loving it for reading! I honestly thought the 2 kindles I've seen in person were way too small and the mini is the perfect size. I've only been reading what's free on Kindle Unlimited so I haven't run into that problem yet 😂 (just kidding I just checked and I'm already at 20 gb?!) My boyfriend and I were just talking about him reading manga on the iPad so that's good to know that it's gonna add up quickly! I am sad that KU is basically renting so I can't "keep" the books 🥲 Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to watch my video I REALLY appreciate it 🥹🫶
I❤my ipad mini 6th generation
I'm still learning new things about it everyday, but so far I have loved it!
@@ChristelsTales awesome sauce
hello, I got an iPad mini as well :)
I am LOVING it so far!!
the ipad is superior. you can listen along to audiobooks while you read.
I didn’t even think to do that!! I cannot focus with audiobooks alone so that will definitely come in handy 😂
You can do the same with kindle whisper link….?
@@alexisk4407 but not simultaneously
My audible is connected with my kindle 10th gen. I updated it, and my audible books was there 🥰.
You picked a great reading order for TOG 👏 The tandem read is such an experience don’t give up on it even if you might want to lol
i’m definitely a little intimidated by the tandem read 😂
I just downloaded this on kindle! I’m excited to read it 😊
yesss!!! i hope you love it 🙈
I got your cats cousin
do you have a black cat too? they’re the sweetest 🥹
Loved your energy
thank you so much ☺️
Nice Vlog I would love to go to The Strand
i wish i had more time in there! there really is SO much to look at. i hope you get to go someday 😊
I love how you create your journal! psst the intro part sound in all muffled girl
ahh thank you!! and also thank you for letting me know 🙈 i definitely need to look into getting better equipment soon
I'm currently on Book 3 or Spark of the Everflame series. I am loving it! The date changed?! Oh no!! I'm so sad. Another series I suggest is King's Dark Tidings. Amazing!!
i JUST received the second and third book in the mail and am adding them to my march tbr hehe! yes it's moving to june 1st which is sad but also awesome to see an author care so much about her characters and story to make the decision to work on them a little longer! i will definitely check it out right now 👀 (update: added it to my TBR and just saw it's on kindle unlimited so adding it to my list on there as well thank you ☺)
I’m also new to BookTube! And a fellow theatre lover, and I have a grey cat who could be your cat’s twin 😆 Looking forward to your videos!
ahhh hello! we have so much in common 😂🥹 i definitely want to incorporate some musical theatre into my videos because it’s such a big part of my life 😋 thank you for watching 😭
@@ChristelsTales haha yes, so fun! That’s a great idea! 😀 What area of theatre are you into? Like singing/performing, or more of the behind the scenes stuff?
@@LibrariesandLattes ahh i'm so sorry i missed this! I just came back from new york! i tried performing definitely not for me 😂 but i am working really hard to become a dresser! are you also involved in theatre?
@@ChristelsTales no worries at all! I get it, performing is a lot, haha, but every role is so important even if you’re not on the stage! I’m a pianist so I accompany a lot of musical theatre singers and shows, as well as music direct from time to time. Well I used to, not as much anymore but it’s still my favorite thing to do 😍
@@LibrariesandLattes omg that sounds amazing 😍 what has been your favorite show you’ve accompanied? one of my dream shows to dress is great comet hehe
Oh no!!!! The book buying ban! I feel your pain. This was a great review, I've added it to my never ending Goodreads Want to Read list 😅
YES! everyone must read this 😂 i am counting down the days before i can buy another book LOL
I need to get to Divine Rivals!
I loved it so much!!
your sweatshirt is the perfect addition to this video 😌💞
I have had those days when I film a video and go to edit and realize that it didn't come across right and have to try again. Having the channel has really helped me to articulate my thoughts better so I hope it is helpful for you!
thank you!! i’m so happy to see that it’s not just me 😭 it was a little stressful and discouraging because i wanted to hold myself to a monday/wednesday posting schedule, but i’m just not there yet! and i’d much rather put content out that i’m happy about :)
I still haven't gotten to a regular schedule! I am around 1x a week but I can't seem to keep to the same day of the week 😅@@ChristelsTales
🥐 i love you, chwistel
doughn’t i know it <3333
YESSSS TO YOU FOR ENTERING THE COSMERE!!! So intimidating but I’ll be walking in with you haha. I plan to take my first step into Brandi-Sandi’s imagination this year too. We share quite a few books on our 24 in 2024. ❤
I'm definitely intimidated 😂 cosmere buddies!!! There's just so many good books circulating right now!
@@ChristelsTales There are always too many books. We need more time! 😂
I have been a long time subscriber since the summer vlog days:)
It's so nice to hear from you again! :)
Omg I used to crack up at Amelia Bedilia. My sister and I would laugh so hard. Still to this day, whenever we do something air-headed the other will be like “okay, Amelia” haha. I love your humor. Welcome to booktube!
I genuinely want to go find some of those books and reread them 😂 I wish I knew others who read them! It'd be a fun inside joke LOL. Thank you so much, I'm very excited to be here! :)
