    Hi, I never write these comments for fear of them never even been seen...but who cares! I’m just a girl in a cafe writing to a girl who shares her joy on the internet. I just wanted to say I love your work so much. I’ve been having a hard time and I woke up and went to my favorite cafe, got a waffle and a rose latte then settled in and found you posted a new video. It was such a joy to watch and really really helped me. You’ve taught me how to romanticize my life again and I found myself crying to your spring book reviews in said cafe. I hope you know how very special you are and your light in the world. Hope you are feeling better and happy spring friend. 💛

Also, I love how you try to consume content and perform activities based on the season.

    I've recently started the Nevermoor series from Jessica Townsend and I already love it! It's a children's story about a young girl called Morrigan Crow, it's set in a magical city, there are mysteries, superpowers, talking animals, hilarious characters - I don't know if people will understand, but reading it just feels colorful. Also the Editions from my local library have super cute covers that pull you in before you open the book.

    I’ve read a few books that you’ve recommended. As a reader, I appreciate these videos! 😁
    Kate Morton’s “the secret keeper” was the first book to get me back into reading since high school. Truthfully, I judged the book by the pretty cover, and hoped it’d be a good one. To my surprise, it became one of my favorites! It was the perfect book to pick up after 6 years of not reading to rope me back in.
    I love that her books take place in the English countryside. The forgotten garden and the house at riverton by Kate Morton are also a few favorites 💕☺️

    • @toriwork8891
      @toriwork8891 2 года назад +4

      If it brings you joy, keep it. If it doesn't, pass it on to someone else. You just have to figure out what adds to your life and what stresses you out. One way I do this is by noticing how much attention I give the book when I'm reorganizing (or considering it). If it's a book that I want to carefully arrange, show off the cover, put a lot of thought into what other books it should go with - that's a keeper - even if it's just because of the cover. If it's something I'll just throw anywhere, chances are good I don't care that much about it and it's time to let another reader who may love it get it.

It's set in California in a valley outside of L.A. with a crochet group and follows Molly who gets herself into mysteries by noisiness and nonsense. It's fun, thrilling, and the books come with a crochet pattern and a baked goody recipe (Molly bakes and cooks from scratch).

    Hi Desi! Always a treat when u upload a video. I have all of G. Heyers Books. The Devil's Cub is great. However, you need to get first These Old Shades. It's the story of the Devil's Cub parents. These both are amazing. I'm also a Jane Austen afficionado too n have many of her books. I also like The Tea Shop Mysteries by Laura Child's set in Old Charleston, SC. District.

      Oh I do have These Old Shades! I should have probably mentioned that 🙈 I plan on reading that one first for sure! I just got that one last year and picked up Devil’s Cub recently 💕

    If you ever get the chance to come here to the UK, you should definitely visit Hilltop Beatrix Potter House in Ambleside, Lake District. You can tour her cottage and get to see all her furniture, which includes her writing desk, piano and dollhouse, belongings, letters, photos and more. You can also walk around the garden. I visted there 3 years ago, and it's beautiful!

    Love your videos about books. A book store and the library is my happy place but I have such a hard time finding new books when I go into a book store cuz theres just so many to choose from. I can never remember my list once I get there, my mind gets overwhelmed. Your videos help me.

The comfort of knowing I'm with a like minded soul and friend. I wish you well on your health journey it's a joy to be on it with you with the ups and downs. Please know your light and love makes a massive impact in the world.

    Thanks for the book recs! I would love a Q&A video where you talk a bit about your past and how you came to be where you are right now (e.g. living in Hawaii, thinking about adopting a baby,... ) I think your life path sounds quite interesting.

    I live in a very historic area in New England, and the little Beatrix Potter books are one of my earliest memories - very sensory, of walking out of a tiny musty smelling library with the books in my hand, full of excitement and happiness.

I’m glad you posted this video because it’s just what I needed! Thanks for always putting hard work. It always pays off. I’m hoping your health goes back to normal soon!! I love you!!

    How did I not know about the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter series?! I'm such a fan that one of my daughters is named Beatrix (constantly confused for Beatrice which bewilders me as I suppose I assume everyone must universally love and know her😅). I'm not even all the way through this video yet and I've got thrift books and amazon windows open and carts filling. Thank you!

    Perfect timing, thank you so much! I have library in my basement but each season I bring some different books upstairs as decor and to recommend to people and read myself, and I've been getting the itch to switch out my books upstairs again... I have rewatched all of your videos (especially the ones about books) so many times! I cannot get enough of this kind of content! 😻

    Thank you for these wonderful discoveries! I noted some names of books hoping to have them in French translation. I'm like you, I like to read books by mood, seasons. I find it so much more captivating! I love the covers of the books you bought so much, they are sublime. Happy reading and have a nice day.☀

    You will love the Shady Hollow mystery! Just finished reading and it’s so fun! Also finished reading Unearthing The Secret Garden. Excellent! Marta McDowell wrote similarly styled books about Emily Dickinson AND, hold the phone, Beatrix Potter, and each of their respective gardens. Both wonderful reads! She also wrote about Laura Ingalls Wilder which I’ve yet to read but just know it must be good too! McDowell provides such good insights on these writer’s personal lives and what inspired their books! Happy Spring reading!
