It was such a fantastic 5 day trip with you, Gina! Thank you for a lovely and super fun week! ☺🌟💕📘🦋 So happy that you liked your birthday gifts! Yay! 🥰❤
Love your excitement over your new books…I’m exactly the same! I have wanted to read Leeva At Last for a long time so thanks for reminding me of it. Can’t wait for part two!
I love Seattle! I miss it. My wife and I have done some silent book clubs through our library and they are so fun. Last time we did a book swap after we read so we got to share some great books with each other!
Hi Gina! What a lovely summer and an amazing haul. Ha, I also have all the glasses! That Jamie Oliver cookbook looks great. Lovely to see you and your sweet kitties!
Gina, you look so well, rested and lovely! Happy birthday ❤. I have such a thing for illustrated books, middle grade and classics, just so great looking at them. Can't wait for part 2 😊.
YEAH!!! WOO-HOO!!! What a fabulous summer you had! Happy for you! What a fun time w/ your friend in Seattle at all the bookshops.😁 I don't remember the name, but Seattle is supposed to have the largest bookstore in the U.S.! Did you go there? I recently read a fantastic book w/ an old grouchy lady as the main character, YOU will love it. Nosy Neighbors by Freya Sampson. Might be my favorite bk. of the year! You've GOT to read it. Why can't you go over 10 min?? That's nothing and we ALL enjoy you so much!🤗 My entire summer has consisted of P.T. on the 2nd Shldr. Replacement and PAIN, very bad pain. Hurts my shldr. to even turn pages!! Very discouraged. See the surgeon tomorrow. Can't wait for Part.2!!😁😋😍😘
@@eileennielsen5165 Hiyee! You might be thinking of Powells books, which is in Portland about 3 hours away. We don’t have a huge store like that. But our great used bookstores make up for it! I just put a hold on Nosy Neighbors - thanks for the recommendation. I know, I know, I like to keep my videos under 15 minutes - it’s just my preference. I have a lot more used books and it would have been too long for me. Eileen thanks so much for your support and your wonderful comments. I am so glad you are here. ❤️
@@spreadbookjoy it really has been Jack. Did Sandy tell you about camping? It was a hoot and we got rained on, but I got to go kayaking for the first time which was incredible.
@@GinaStanyerBooks yes she did! Kayaking must have been wonderful and great company always makes a for a great holiday whatever the weather! I love hearing about you two hanging out together - must be such fun!
@@davidnovakreadspoetry it was such a fun week! Seattle is really a cool city. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it (primarily due to the gray weather). But the bookish scene is fantastic.
Was just thinking abut you Gina. I read two of Nina Le Cours YA books when I first joined Booktube. They weren't for me. I'll be interested to see what you think of her MG.
It was such a fantastic 5 day trip with you, Gina! Thank you for a lovely and super fun week! ☺🌟💕📘🦋 So happy that you liked your birthday gifts! Yay! 🥰❤
Thank you Gina. I had such a great time. It was a perfect week. ❤️🌈
I just finished The Moonspinners and I’ll message you about it tomorrow.
That trip with your friend sounds so fun fantastic.
It was so much fun!

@@jensreadinglife it’s such a great cover! I can’t wait to read it (now let’s just hope it doesn’t moulder on the shelf for 12 years 😂).
Lovely haul! The idea of your cat walking around with the pencil really made me chuckle 🤣
He's such a goof ball.

A book swap is such a great idea!
We had a great time puttering around Seattle. There really are great bookstores here.
Lovely cozy video 🥰
Happy birthday 🎉.
Looks like maybe turning the lowest shelves as kitty beds and hang out spots is the best use of the space 😊
LOL right? They love the bookshelves.

You tease! Ending on a cliffhanger and saving the best part (used books) for another video. 🤣 Can't wait!
@@christinaoldham6614 lol. I got so much good stuff! It was a good week.
Happy Birthday, Gina! My birthday is next week too. What a delicious book haul! 😊
Thank you fellow Virgo! :) and Happy Birthday to you.

Gina, this was so great. I am so excited for the second video. This was just what I needed today! ❤️😻📚

Sounds like an amazing summer. Love those middle grades. I’m a Jamie Oliver fan as well - he always has great recipes.

I’ve heard about those reading parties. Oooh I’d like to go to Seattle! It sounds like you’ve been having a great time.
