I am also a kindle girly, but theres something about *owning* your favorite books and being able to grab one off the shelf and flip through to your favorite parts, so worth it
I read almost everything on my kindle too but I started buying physical copies this year and having them all to look at brings me so much joy 😂 it’s just so cozy ❤
I do that EXACT same thing with my books. I am strictly a kindle reader but if I end up LOVING a book I’ll buy the hardcover copy (the prettiest one I can find) to display on my bookshelves. I find this to be a much cheaper option rather than buying all the hard copies of books to read that I may not even like, and then I get to display all the ones I end up really enjoying on my bookshelf. It’s much more organized, pretty and efficient this way for me.
Reading on kindle for comfort and then having the physical books on your home is a very common practice!! I live in a small apartment so I only buy the hardcovers or paperbacks of my all time favourites, but you should DEFINETLY start doing it if you like it
I actually LOVE the book nook idea, I always buy physical books to one day do that in my future home 🤗 totally support that idea and would love to see how you do it!
I love how you have become a book girly! not crazy at all to buy the hard copy of the books, it's two different hobbies and the book buying one is a dangerous hobby ahahha
When you get into book series it get more dangerous because when you get obsessed with having the set matching it hurts when you can’t find the matching covers
I only buy books that I love. I used to buy hard copies on a whim and I donated a lot because I realized I didn’t care to have the “meh” ones on my shelf. But 5 star books? Yes for me!
Also girrrrllll you can never have enough pumpkins… my husband would disagree based on the amount of fall decor bins I have but it makes me happy to fill my house with pumpkins soooo 🤷🏻♀️
Tara, I just wanted to say that I have been watching your vlogs for 6 years now!! And I love them and you are the best ❤ you deserve all the success and happiness 😊
totally agree I love my kindle so much, but i do miss just having a physical copy of the books, i still cant justify it for myself being tight on money, but i fully support the idea! would be so satisfying!
Hey Tara, just want to make sure you read all the bonus epilogues for the Knockemout series. I didn’t realize they existed until after the 2nd book so I had to go back, but all 3 books have them. So cute to see even further in the future where all the characters ended up.
You’re not crazy! I have a kindle, but all of the books that have stolen a piece of my heart, I get a physical copy of them. Also I’ve been obsessed with “blind date with a book” they’re all over tik tok and Etsy, you tell them the genre you want and they pick a book for you, wrap it up all cute, and ship it. It gets me out of my “book comfort zone” and opens up a world of new authors. I’m obsessed!
I’ve been making homemade pumpkin chai tea and all I do is add pumpkin purée to my milk before frothing it and adding that to the chai concentrate, and it’s perfect! No syrups needed :)
you should make homemade blueberry-lavender syrup for matches! Buy food grade English lavender petals & steep in simple syrup (or better yet, get your own plant growing!). Super easy & super delish! I haven't try adding blueberries yet, but I imagine you could just add frozen blueberries & sieve before putting in the fridge.
These are some of my favorite type of videos from you specifically because the target trip and going to Trader Joe’s is my favorite thing in the world Ahhh Yayyy ILYSM 💗💖💗💖
I've really gotten into reading the last few years, and I've started buying the books I love to add to my bookshelf! Otherwise I also just read on my kindle. I love having a physical copy to write in and gush about characters all over again 😍
Omg in middle school and high school I used to write in my favorite books like “OMG” during a crazy moment. But then I got lame and was like “I shouldn’t write in books” and WHY DID I THINK THAT. Worth it for the mems
These vlogs are so fun! I feel like I took the trip with you and then you FaceTimed me with your haul after! So fun ❤️ get the hard copies girl! You’ll love em!
Tara you got me reading again, I used to read all the time in my 20’s, had babies in my 30’s and time to read was put on hold. When u mentioned Colleen Hoover I started reading again and I’m loving it.
When you were talking about a library in the bedroom, I envisioned Edward's bedroom from Twilight. Full wall of books. Goals! I hope something wonderful happens to you today!
I live 5 mins from this Trader Joe’s and target and went there hours after you!!! So glad you hit the jackpot for cute decor! Also I hand knit hats and would love to send you one for the fall/winter season!
I remember when I first started following Sarah on TikTok, thinking that she would be the perfect friend for you. I’m so glad you guys found each other. Great haul now I need to go to Trader Joe’s.
This was such a satisfying TJ & target haul, you got so much goodies 😃 Favorite videos! Full of fall vibes, i want to go to trader joes so bad but my freezer is full full 😅
I read exclusively kindle/ebooks. But I buy my 4/5 star reads in physical copies to have on my shelf & always have in case I want to go back in person!!
Ok, I saw so many people say they didn’t like Things we left behind and I was SO sad to hear that because I LOVED it! So it literally makes me so happy that you love it so much! The ending was all I wanted and more!
I love reading physical copies. I have one full shelf full but they are double stacked. I don't have all of my books on my shelf. I need to get a second book shelf. I became a big reader in December 2015, I started my bookstagram account.
Buying the physical books is not as wacky a lot of people do this I have joined so many book groups on fb and it’s crazy people have different kindles for like the purse, the bathroom, their car! So many places that to me is insane 😂 but also fun. Buying the physical books not that crazy I think a book nook would be so cute with little cute fairy lights a comfy spot to lay and read I’m already imagining it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Trader Joe’s is a bit of a ride for me, but I will have to give it a try . I used to go faithfully years ago. They do have delicious food in my single years I used to go all the time. I love the mac & cheese. also are used to love this stirfry‘s. I love target. Also I do a target run every few months, I could spend a lot of time in there, but , I have to pay the bills well, happy fall!
I'm just in brantford and my favorite days are the trips over the boarder to basically go to the same places. Always target trader Joe's crumble (omg the lemon cookies!!!!!!!) And olive garden.... lol. I bought a few of the blueberry lavender milks last time I went and tried it and hate it lol. Now the unopened ones are just sitting in my pantry cause I donno what the heck to do with them. I'm just about to start things we left behind .... lol. Excited
Omg! I've read both of the books you just finished and the one you are starting. I hope you enjoy the new one just as much as I did. Another good one would be "A Flicker in the Dark" 🤗
I loved the Things We Never Got Over series so much I went and bought the physical books to keep. I’ve done this with so many kindle books I’ve enjoyed my mum and best friend says I have a problem lol
I’ve been craving the TJs soup dumplings soooo often! I’ve followed your lead with soy sauce and chilli onion crunch but I also add (please don’t judge, I’m pregnant) pickle juice 🫣 It adds a little bit of acid and it’s sooooo delicious!
Hi I think your vid’s are so cute! But did you ever think how many more frozen foods you can store in that small freezer if you took them out of their Boxes? ( food for thought lol) save one label from one box to remember how to cook them and throw out those boxes ! You’re welcome!
I do LOVE having a hard copy of some of my favorite books. Especially when you’re talking about it with someone and you can let them borrow it. Idk lol it’s like sharing a piece of you with someone
Love your enthusiasm! If there is a Hobby Lobby in the area where you shop, you should try it. There are so many decor offerings. Go there 1 time and you will be addicted.
Etsy has clear globe ornaments that are filled with all of the books you want in a mini version . I got one for my book club girls with all the books we read that year
Yes to a book nook/library. No to buying the books you already read 😖 lol I think it’s different if you actually bought them and read them then saved it lol how about just buy new books that you want to read 😂 orrrr if you want representation of what you have maybe print out the covers or make one of your collages idk just an idea 🤷🏻♀️ ultimately do it if it’ll make you happy but also if you have a chance to not waste space/money then try considering other options 🤷🏻♀️💕
I loved this vlog!!!! All.the cozy vibes!!!🤗🧡🧡🧡🍂🍁🍂🍁 also I love that you talked about finding new friends as an adult is hard. I crave finding a new friends that I click with. That's the best feeling tho! You gave me Inspiration!
Yes! Become a book dragon. Surround yourself with books and have yourself a book cave. I have physical copies of books, two different e-readers (Kindle and Nook), along with audio books. Give me all the books. I sometimes have a physical copy of a book, with its audio and e-book format because I have to be able to continue with the book while I’m driving, but I don’t want to mess up my book when I travel, so I have my e-readers. It also doesn’t help that I’m surrounded by thousands of books at work. lol
ANOTHER TARGET & TJ'S VLOGGGG!!! what's your favorite part of fall?!?! 🍂🍁🍃
The foods!!! ❤❤❤
Since I live in Las Vegas, it's the cooler weather.

Hehehe they’re just such a joy!!!
I literally love how balanced you are between healthy eating and lifestyle, and being chilled and indulgent. You are goals in every way!
I do that EXACT same thing with my books. I am strictly a kindle reader but if I end up LOVING a book I’ll buy the hardcover copy (the prettiest one I can find) to display on my bookshelves.

Tara - You bring so much smile and laughter to my heart by just being you. Thank you.
i cant even begin to tell you how much i enjoy watching you every week, i think a book nook would be perfect, especially for winter and fall months!
Everytime I watch your videos I get inspired to clean and organize my home because yours is just the cutest!!
Of course I watch this right after getting home from a Trader Joe’s haul myself and see things I wish I got! Just means another trip is needed 😋🎃
you NEED to read Fourth Wing soon because the romance in that is everything! Plus it has some laugh out loud moments too I LOVED it!
I actually LOVE the book nook idea, I always buy physical books to one day do that in my future home 🤗 totally support that idea and would love to see how you do it!
You should get that personalized embroider tool for the books you get!
I loooove that one of my fav lifestyle vloggers is a reader, it brings my heart so much joy and my 2 worlds are colliding 🥹📖
I love how you have become a book girly! not crazy at all to buy the hard copy of the books, it's two different hobbies and the book buying one is a dangerous hobby ahahha

i love you talking about friendships in adulthood, it makes me hopeful. so happy, you deserve it 🤍
So glad you got to bring Sarah to Trader Joe’s for the first time.
Tara! This whole video you seemed sooo genuinely happy. You always do but this one you were glowing!
My favorite part of fall is the brisk air, it just smells and feels diffrent ya know.
Yess to the mini library/ book nook. A dream of mine. And buying the physical book is basically buying decor.
a library room is my DREAM ♡ i read on kindle but buy my fav books because i just loooove books!!!
How do you use a makeup wipe straight to skin care? Eeeek no water? No cleansing?
Tbh it works for me so I keep doing it 😂😂
I say get the books!!!! Being surrounded by the books you’ve read is heart warming
Also girrrrllll you can never have enough pumpkins… my husband would disagree based on the amount of fall decor bins I have but it makes me happy to fill my house with pumpkins soooo 🤷🏻♀️
OMG i would love to see a little cozy book nook and how you would decorate it! And have it in the background whenever you talk about your books 😭🥹📚🤎🤍
I hate grocery shopping, but LOVE Tara enjoying it and sharing what she got😊
Thank you Tara, your videos always bring me joy and peace and a sense that life goes on, even though i'm going through hard times.❤❤❤
Tara, I just wanted to say that I have been watching your vlogs for 6 years now!! And I love them and you are the best ❤ you deserve all the success and happiness 😊
thank u so much for being here!!!!! ❤
Love the idea of book nook 😍 I love your blogs Tara, you’re amazing ❤
totally agree I love my kindle so much, but i do miss just having a physical copy of the books, i still cant justify it for myself being tight on money, but i fully support the idea! would be so satisfying!

I’ve been making homemade pumpkin chai tea and all I do is add pumpkin purée to my milk before frothing it and adding that to the chai concentrate, and it’s perfect! No syrups needed :)
sounds perfect!! I need to try!
You could probably find more branches to go with the long one at homesense or Michaels if you have one up there 🫶🏼
you should make homemade blueberry-lavender syrup for matches!
Buy food grade English lavender petals & steep in simple syrup (or better yet, get your own plant growing!). Super easy & super delish!
I haven't try adding blueberries yet, but I imagine you could just add frozen blueberries & sieve before putting in the fridge.
I read on a Kindle and buy physical copies of the books I *loved* from a local bookstore for my bookshelf!
Love your Target and Trader Joe's hauls! They always get me in the fall spirit.
These are some of my favorite type of videos from you specifically because the target trip and going to Trader Joe’s is my favorite thing in the world Ahhh Yayyy ILYSM 💗💖💗💖

Tara you got me reading again, I used to read all the time in my 20’s, had babies in my 30’s and time to read was put on hold. When u mentioned Colleen Hoover I started reading again and I’m loving it.
When you were talking about a library in the bedroom, I envisioned Edward's bedroom from Twilight. Full wall of books. Goals!
I hope something wonderful happens to you today!
Yessss!!!!
I just love trader joes & target trips ❤ love the vlogggg
Hey, love, it is always good to see Sarah and you together. True friendship ❤❤❤
Seeing you come to my hometown so often makes me so happy. I genuinely wish we were close enough to go hang out together but neither of us drive. 😂
Olive Garden is honestly always a good idea
I say yes to the book nook! Check around local thrift stores and you can normally find some good books for super cheap!
I live 5 mins from this Trader Joe’s and target and went there hours after you!!! So glad you hit the jackpot for cute decor! Also I hand knit hats and would love to send you one for the fall/winter season!
I remember when I first started following Sarah on TikTok, thinking that she would be the perfect friend for you. I’m so glad you guys found each other. Great haul now I need to go to Trader Joe’s.
the second i need this notification for tara’s videos i gotta stop whatever i’m doing and watch. Been that way since the La Apartment

This was such a satisfying TJ & target haul, you got so much goodies 😃
Favorite videos! Full of fall vibes, i want to go to trader joes so bad but my freezer is full full 😅
We love these vlogssss! Can’t wait to see more fall
Omg please do the book nook!! Sounds so cozy and relaxing
I read exclusively kindle/ebooks. But I buy my 4/5 star reads in physical copies to have on my shelf & always have in case I want to go back in person!!
Ok, I saw so many people say they didn’t like Things we left behind and I was SO sad to hear that because I LOVED it! So it literally makes me so happy that you love it so much! The ending was all I wanted and more!
You being so excited about your book and reading makes me want to get back to reading😊👍
Tara I have a book room library in my house and I LOVE IT! I even did custom shelving and it’s so so fun
I love reading physical copies. I have one full shelf full but they are double stacked. I don't have all of my books on my shelf. I need to get a second book shelf. I became a big reader in December 2015, I started my bookstagram account.
Wow those paper bags were like Christmas gifts...a gift that keep on given😂😂nice grocery shopping
such a fun vlog!! I read on my kindle too, and then I usually buy the hard copies of my favourite ones 🤭
Hehe okay that makes me feel better about doing it too 😜😜
Local woman missing is the book that got me back into reading. You’re going to LOVE!! ❤
I just finished the series yesterday & im so sad there isn’t anymore 😭😭😭 loved the series, but book 1 & 3 were my fav!!
I know I’m soooo sad too! It was so good!
Local woman missing is so good! Keeps you guessing throughout it!
Double tasking with working from home and catching the latest video! happy for this because work has been a DAY.
If you are a costco member, there are dumpling soups there, same kind like the traders joe but in bulk. Comes with the sauce too lol
My favorite part of fall is changing of leave colors
Sameeee
I to also love Olive Garden and it’s a must you have to have Alfredo sauce with your breadsticks ❤😊😊
Buying the physical books is not as wacky a lot of people do this I have joined so many book groups on fb and it’s crazy people have different kindles for like the purse, the bathroom, their car! So many places that to me is insane 😂 but also fun. Buying the physical books not that crazy I think a book nook would be so cute with little cute fairy lights a comfy spot to lay and read I’m already imagining it❤️❤️❤️❤️
I miss friend shopping trips. Thanks for the experience!
I need you to read the ravenhood series 😩🙌🏼 I’ve never had a book wreck me like the second book. So worth it. Loved the story line
You have finally convinced me to try to get in to books again so what Colleen Hoover is the best to hopefully get me hooked ❤😂
verityyyyy!
I'm also so sad that the knockemout series is over, and I also cried! Lucy Score did SO good!!
Trader Joe’s is a bit of a ride for me, but I will have to give it a try . I used to go faithfully years ago. They do have delicious food in my single years I used to go all the time. I love the mac & cheese. also are used to love this stirfry‘s. I love target. Also I do a target run every few months, I could spend a lot of time in there, but , I have to pay the bills well, happy fall!
100000% you need a library! I read on my kindle and still buy the books as my “trophies” for what I read haha they’re so fun, pls do it! ❤
Tara, the hand zoom describing the Target haul. I feel that 😂
I'm just in brantford and my favorite days are the trips over the boarder to basically go to the same places. Always target trader Joe's crumble (omg the lemon cookies!!!!!!!)

Thin out the fall TJ’s pasta sauce with broth, add frozen veggies and pasta or gnocchi. Perfect fall soup.
You are a vibe I love watching you!!❤
I do LOVE having a hard copy of some of my favorite books. Especially when you’re talking about it with someone and you can let them borrow it. Idk lol it’s like sharing a piece of you with someone

You should find a book shelf and have it on the stairs would fill up wall space and be accessible :)
