ultimate book video | book swap, indie bookstore day, book haul, little free libraries
Yay welcome back!! August was a great reading month for me too. I read a book that I'm pretty sure I got as a recommendation from one of your videos! I read Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney and I really liked it!! The premise of A Pair of Wings sounds very interesting, but also that's my least favorite part of historical fiction...trying to figure out what is actually true and what isn't and how much to emotionally invest in something that might not even be true. 😂
I didnt catch the name of your favorite book from the arcs
@@nikkirice6679 A Certain Slant of Light by C.P. Du Toit!
I go straight off vibes as well. I soft DNFd Blood at the root, we were not vibing for some reason, i'll try again later lol. I did love the narrator.
@@MarasJunkDrawer I need to soft DNF more! I either hard DNF or simply power through
Welcome back!! 💕
@@goodmornindreamer thanks, friend!
No bookish day is complete without coffee 😊 well no day is complete without it, period lol but coffee makes the reading experience that much more magical 😊
@@shalidarenee84 couldn’t agree more (I say, as I sip my morning coffee and prepare to read ☺️)
My kind of day 😍
Sounds like a really great day, even the moments where you got to rest!
@@Saint_Florence I love a good restful moment
Hi. Im a new subbie. I noticed the book tubers go to the library and the book store. Is there a particular reason. Im trying to get into books.
@@queenchelseaa hey! Going to the bookstore and the library and is a great way to get inspiration on what to read next, and to pick out your next read!
A book day sounds wonderful! Looks like a great time and of course I love all the reading. I love your earrings too!!
@@BonnieNicoleWrites thank you!! 😊
It’s the consistency for me !! 👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏾
@@DannyReadss girl I’ve been working HARD on the consistency!!
Oh my gosh what a sweet and lovely day! There is seriously nothing like reading in a coffee shop!
@@themorgansophia hard agree!!
💕⭐️
I get so excited every time you upload ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@forevermoodreading this makes me so happy, thank you!!
Anytime I get a new book and happily slide it on my shelf, I know it’ll probably be unread for a few years 😂 not intentionally but here we are
@@BooksToAshes here we are indeed. the curse of being a book lover!
Not 3-5 business years 😂
@@mrssmithslibrary listen, I am who I am 😂😂
"It's on the list!" Loved this! Excited to see about the friendship with the bookshop book!
@@nicolecaron1892 on the list, people!! 😂 and I’ve got my fingers crossed big time for that one!
I was slumpy in July so I didn’t get much read but 6 is SO good! Hopefully August will be another successful reading month for us both 🤞
@@BooksToAshes 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
This was brilliant! So many gems to consider. I can say Skin of the Sea and Soul of the Deep , Dead Nation and Hood Feminism are good reads … Dead Nation has a second book that I need to read. And Rest is Resistance plus the accompanying Rest Deck by Tricia Hersey should be in every black persons library. It is the most profound nonfiction work I’ve ever read. I constantly re-read it… such a gem for self care and healing … 🌈
Ok picking up rest is resistance next time I’m at the bookstore based on this rec!!
Wow what a month!
@@nicolecaron1892 I had a blast! Hoping for another good month in August!
Dang girl!! I read 2 books in July, I def need to read more in August. I love how honest and transparent you are with your reviews. Going to add “This Could Be Us” to my TBR!!! 6:55
@@themorgansophia no matter how much we read, we are still readers! No pressure to read more but cheering you on! And so excited for you to read This Could Be Us!!
So many great books featured here! Love the range of recommendations here as well.
@@bookishmelody thanks so much!
🌈 so many books!
@@nicolecaron1892 I was JUST thinking about you, friend! Hope you’ve been well!
@@ashanailahreads I'm catching up on your videos haha!! I'm doing well I hope you're doing well too!! ❤️
Your couch looks so cozy! The cover of this book is beautiful

@@Yvette1954 I’ll check it out!
So many tropes! I do really like fake dating stories and I love friends to lovers. And I definitely prefer a slow burn. I'm with you about power dynamics and bully romance!
@@BonnieNicoleWrites slow burn 4eva!
Asha!! I literally just realized you have a youtube channel last week and man, I am here for it all!!! cheering you on <3
@@SheilaJoy thank you!!! Hope you are well!!
Insta-love is one of my least favourite tropes, I despise it because I personally love slow burn. The slower the better. I also like bully romance because I’ve come to realize I like it simply because I was bullied badly growing up and it kind of feels good to read about bullying with a positive outcome rather than negative like my own. Otherwise yeah, toxic AF trope 😂 I won’t defend it, but I still enjoy it lol
Got my ticket for the book festival… only Sunday tho 😢 but I can’t wait
@@sunshineeflyy it’s gonna be so fun!
I'm not a huge romance reader, but I think I would rank all the tropes the same as you 🤣 I'm there with you on bully romance, it's not for me. Maybe when I was a teen, but as a 28 year old woman, I'll pass.
@@goodmornindreamer HUGE pass!
@@ashanailahreads Agreed! There are way more enjoyable tropes out there!
I’m excited to see you tackle the next six months! and maybe that involves a cozy reading vlog or two?? fingers crossed 🥰🤞🏽
@@kdugas filming a reading vlog this week! And just WAIT until fall comes around it’ll be nonstop cozy

The is the best book content I’ve ever watched. I literally and I do mean LITERALLY want to read all of these books now. I think I just found my 2025 TBR
I am SPEECHLESS!! Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
another book rec to add to your collection: One Pale Summer by debra phillips
🌈yay! We all needed this list!
@@Saint_Florence thanks for watching!!
Totally understand the feeling of these slumps and might try to join you with some of these things. I've also gained a significant amount of weight especially since getting Covid last year and getting asthma. It really decreased the amount of physical activity I could do and since I work remotely it made things even more limited. These goals are awesome especially the RUclips goals. But remember to take care of yourself and not push yourself too hard with trying to get 3 videos up every week. ❤
@@goodmornindreamer I’m glad the video inspired you to potentially take action on some of your goals too! And absolutely on finding balance with the goals. I have a tendency to go all in, so I’m going to try to prioritize rest and off days as well!
@@ashanailahreads totally understand! I've always been that way too and get so stubborn about "proving" people wrong (even if it's just myself). i'm glad that you're going to make sure to include time to rest 💕
This feels very motivating. I've been struggling for so long now, and I feel so tired - but I want to get out of this too!!! 💪
@@Curious-Cat so sorry that you’ve been struggling but huge kudos to you for your willingness to turn things around! Wishing you luck!!
@@ashanailahreads Thanks! It surely isn't easy 😅 all the best to you too!
Yay! So happy to watch another one of your videos! I know the feeling - I get caught in these slumps and it feels like they are just taking over everything! I'm so glad you are feeling ready and confident to make a change!! You've inspired me, I need to sit down and think about my goals and possibly rework them a bit.
so glad you're back for another video and that this one inspired you! 💛
love this so much!!
@@Lostinabook2518 thank you!! 💛
This was so much fun to watch!! 🌈
💛💛💛
Asha! I loved this video! I found some new booktubers and books!! This was such a cool format!! 😘☺️
@@moniqueschlank2276 YAY!! Thanks so much for watching and so glad you enjoyed it!!
I love the quick little synopses you're giving. So many of these grabbed my eye, especially the thrillers.
Glad to hear it!!
Such a great list! 🌈
@@forevermoodreading thanks for watching! 💛
So glad to hear you rested in Mood Reading! Love it! I read, usually, two books at the same time...a paper or hardbound and Kindle. The variety of mediums gives me the experience in JOY in reading! Best Wishes and Happy Reading!
@@MiaPensYarns-kt2nh two mediums make a lot of sense! Wishing you continued joy in your reading! 💛
Loved the video and recommendations, I’ve read many of them🌈 Bookworm lady
@@mikevanamber3927 thanks for watching!!
Dread Nation has been on my list since I saw it in one of your previous videos. I'm waiting to read it in the fall. I read Kindred back when I was in college and recently got another copy at the bookstore. I can't wait to reread it! 🌈🌈
@@goodmornindreamer it definitely seems like a good fall read! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
@@ashanailahreads thank you!! truthfully, I'm very excited for the fall and curling up with a book and blanket + a hot cup of tea
