      Hello! my name is Jaqueline and I am new here, YT recommended your video and I loved the content and aesthetic of your channel so I subscribed 🥰 I create content about books but in Portuguese.

    It’s so nice to hear how you’ve been! I started following you around 2014 and I always loved that your book rec was quite different from other booktubers, that yours had this ‘publishing industry insider peek’ feel that many other booktubers couldn’t provide. While I noticed that you posted on YT less and less, I honestly didn’t think it was something negative because I took it as a sign that your life was moving on from a certain phase to another and that you were exploring different mode of existence. I see many RUclipsrs I follow do that once they reach mid-late twenties and I find it beautiful when people are aware and can accept that they are changing and that life needs to be rearranged accordingly.

    I've been following your channel for ages, and I've always loved your content, be it about reading, crafting, traveling or just little life updates. I really like how you take your time to produce videos, they're really soothing and inspiring. I don't use social media anymore so I'm happy to know you have a few videos coming up in the following months! :D

    I also currently live in Hertfordshire, and if you're looking for nice walks in the countryside I will recommend the Lea Valley walk which runs all the way down into East London. The part that runs along the canal and the railway from Hertford to Cheshunt is quite pretty. Not many bookshops on the way, but there is The Book Nook in Ware, which is very cute!

    • @booksandquills

    Hi Sanne 👋🏼 good to see you’re back and I’m excited to see what you do next - I’m loving the peeks at your creative escapades. I’ve followed you and many other booktubers for so long (an actual decade) and finally started my own channel this year ☺️ I do a lot of journalling, reading and travel.

    Oh my gosh, Stitch & Bitch! It's been forever since I thought about that era! I've got about a decade on you, so I reckon I was around 27 or 28 when I first started to knit (everyone on my LJ friends list was learning and I had massive FOMO, ha!) but here it is 20 some years later and I am still knitting, and I think that's the only craft hobby I have ever stuck with!

    Hello again!! You were the first ever booktuber I watched (way back in 2010) and it's been wonderful to follow you and your journey on the various different sites. Great to see you back on RUclips, and very much looking forward to your videos. (PS I (re)started knitting this year (last knit when I was 8 or 9, and I'm now 32), and your insta post on your new needles was definitely a driving force in me ordering my first knitting kit. I'm now deeply in love with the craft, so thank you!)

      @@booksandquills I went for Knit Pro interchangeable as they were cheaper, and just bought what I needed for now. I've made a promise to myself that if I'm still knitting in 6 months I'll treat myself to the Chiaogoo ones :D

    I have to say, one of my favourite video series of yours to go back to is your What's in my Bag series. I know it's become a thing again (sorta), but I always liked yours because they were short, sweet, and realistic. It's comfort content.
    Been here since like 2011/2012 when I was 16-17, and now I'm rounding the corner on 30 years old!

    • @booksandquills
      @booksandquills  Месяц назад

    So nostalgic and relatable what you're saying about creativity! I followed your channel for yearsss. Your enthousiasm has always been contageous, I studied English Language & Culture at the RUG for 1.5 years and I must admit that you were one of the positive reasons why. Eventually I changed studies like 4 times and graduated from Media Studies but studying English is one of my fondest uni memories.
    Looking forward to the content you post 😊

    Oh hello there! Wow. It's been a minute since I've seen this channel. So glad the algorithm brought me back here! That's been happening a lot lately - it seems many creators I followed when I was in high school/college are now reinventing or restarting their online presence - generally leaning more toward relaxed content. And I'm absolutely here for it. Now to go and watch all your backlog that I've missed out on!

  • @meganobrien9520

    ❤ You didn’t ask for recommendations… but if you’re looking for new knitting/sewing content I really think you’d love Kacie of YoungfolkKnits and Laura Penrose! Kacie does lots of sit down videos similar to Creabea’s and features a lot of sewing. Laura often makes beautiful calming vlogs of life and making that remind me of some of the illustrators you watch! 🥰

    • @booksandquills
      @booksandquills  Месяц назад +2

      Thank you! I’ll probably make a full video about it, but committing to going to creative meet-ups (museum sketching events, or going somewhere with the purpose to draw) really helped me get started! Once you’re there you gotta do it and it’s easier than starting when you’re just sitting at home.
