She really wasnt kidding when she said "welcome to your new favorite place on the internet" cuz i found her just a few months ago and unsurprisingly, her channel IS my favorite place on the internet.
first of all twinkling watermelon is probably my favorite k-drama ever. family by choice is one i would recommend because it kind of gives the same vibe as twinkling watermelon, it is so good!!💗
OMG, i’m not an avid k-drama watcher but I just recently finished Twinkling Watermelon and it has become one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME. It rewired my whole brain chemistry.
This video couldn't have came out at a better time. I needed someone to keep me company and focused on my engineering studies 😅. And Bella, you and your videos never fail to keep me motivated on the work I have to do. I for some reason always have so much motivation to study, read and just get things done after watching one of your videos, even on days where I just want to stay in bed and do absolutely nothing. ❤
I recently had a fight with my mom, but crying in my room, opening youtube, and seeing you upload a video made me feel a lot better. Thank you for everything, Bella 💗✨️
Also for kdramas, this is an old one but I still think about it to this day and that's 49 Days! it's about a girl that gets into a coma after an accident and if she wants to live she will have to collect 3 tear drops from people that aren't related to her by blood that have a pure love for her within 49 Days. it gets really complicated and wild and I love it a lot!
Your vlogs always make me feel better and just warm, like a big hug, especially when I’m not having a great day, they make me see the light and the bright side so thank you for that 🥹💜 I’m so glad you are feeling better and are having a new perspective! That banana bread looked so delicious 🤤 now I want to make some. Also I’m so glad your kdrama era has returned!! I’ve also been really loving them at the moment so I love having this bonding experience 😌 I also watched doctor slump and liked the first half but I really lost interest in the second half and didn’t finish it 🤭
this made me so happy 😭🫂💞 the banana bread was in fact DELICIOUS and everyone complimented it on me so 😌 lowkey you didn't miss much from the second half of doctor slump, i'm pretty sure you can guess what's gonna happen and you'd be right 😂 what kdrama are you currently watching? 👀✍️
@ honestly I’m not at all surprised to find out you’re a good baker! I’m not watching a kdrama at the moment, but I just finished one yesterday called strongest deliveryman, which i purely watched for Kim Seon-ho, it was meh though so I probably wouldn’t recommend it 😂 but I enjoyed it more than I thought and Kim Seon-ho as usual made the show 😌 and everything else I’ve watched recently I think you’ve already watched 😂 I did watch a Korean movie a few months ago called the Childe (again I watched for Kim Seon-ho) and I really enjoyed it, you might like it!
Bella! Thank you so much for making videos. Your channel truly has become my new favorite place on the internet. I've been having a lot of hard things going on in my life lately and I've been watching your videos every day since I found your channel a couple of weeks ago, and they've helped me so much. Today was very hard and as soon as I got home I turned on your videos for comfort and to decompress and I immediately felt so much calmer and better all around. Thank you so much and please keep doing what you're doing! I know I can speak for this whole community when I say we are so grateful for you!
you are so sweet thank you so much oh my goodness 😭💖✨ it makes me so happy to know that i could help you feel better in any type of way and i hope that life has been treating you a bit kinder lately 🫂
I was randomly scrolling and just saw the video I can't wait to enjoy it!!! You are one of the reasons that makes me obsessed with reading and books!!!
I have been so inspired by your channel and have become a huge fan! I turn 40 in December and have always thought about documenting certain periods of my life and you have me inspired to possible start a 40s diaries type of thing, maybe. I’m not the best at technology and all of that, so we will see, but just wanted to share how much I look forward to your videos and the content you bring to the table! So genuine and real and your authenticity just comes through!
This is crazy! I just finished 10 things that never happened the day the vlog came out and I recognized it from only the glimpse of the UK flag when I saw it still in the package. Also I love you Bella💕and I'm so glad you're back!
I have an important exam tomorrow, and I studied all day today. I was gaming, trying to relax but I couldn't. I thought a throneofpages vlog would be great, so I opened up youtube, to watch some of your old videos. And, A NEW VIDEO? Thanks queen...
Your space looks so creative! Your message about enjoying your twenties even with small activities resonates with me so much. And I want to start My Love Mixup soon because I’ve been reading so much drama lately.
the most heartfelt kdrama i’ve ever watched is something in the rain, it was the first kdrama i ever fell in love with so i may be biased but i think about it all the time. hope you’re doing well bella girl!
In this video you reminded me that I have to live life calmly and that my life will not end at the end of the year, I didn't even know I needed to be reminded of this but you reminded me so thank you (I haven't finished the video yet but you've already improved my life) And you'll be fine❤
Bella!!! ❤ It's soo good to see another vlog from you again. I absolutely love your videos and do so enjoy seeing your excitement about books, especially classics. I get so intimidated by classics and I've been avoiding reading the one I had on my fall tbr for a while now, but you've given me the encouragement I needed to go pick it back up so thank you so much for that 🙌🏽. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
I'm reading one piece cuz of you and only you. I'm in volume 31 currently and I have found my new home. I don't know how to thank you anymore. You truly are the best. Love you
Bella, I'm so happy you're felling better and finding joy in little things just like I find joy watching your videos....I recently started reading One Piece and it's honestly the best decision I have ever mad in my life.😭 And it's all thanks to you 💕...Now i cannot think of one piece without thinking of you Also it's crazy how you have re-entered your k-drama era bc Same...and k-drama recently has been hitting different...Here are my recs - Lovely Runner ( my fav kdrama of this year ) , Mr.Plankton ( this one's more like k-trauma but in the best way possible) and What Comes after Love ❤
welcome to the one piece family 😭💗🫂 i'm genuinely so honored that you think of me when you think of one piece i love it SO much 😭 what episode are you currently on and do you already have a favorite character? 👀👀 kdramas have deeefinitely been hitting differently, i think a lot of them have been leaning more towards mental health/more realistic relationships and i am SOO here for it! K-TRAUMA LMAOO I'M CRYING 😭 i haven't seen ANY of these so they're all going on my list thank you!! 💞
hi hi ! i'm dropping by just to say that i loved seeing you this happy this week and that i hope you enjoy 'intermezzo' as much as i did!!! i finished it yesterday and it was a 4.5 for me and definitely something that i will be re-reading next year! thank you for your hard work, this video was great as always
I'm so curious to hear what your thoughts are on Paradise Lost. since rereading Frankenstein it's been on my radar 👀 (but I am also so intimidated by it as well lol)
@booksanddaydreams Paradise Lost is fantastic! If you feel intimidated, I recommend maybe getting an edition that has a little prose summary at the start of each book, those can be super helpful. I read it in the Oxford World's Classics edition which has those summaries (and a beautiful introduction by Philip Pullman, yay!), but no further notes. Enjoy your Frankenstein re-read!
0:32 Yaaaasssss 11:33 The book starts strong, homie JAJAJAJAJAJ 14:36 The bookmark is incredible, stunning, and inspiring😂😂💞💞 25:37 Uuuhh Paradise Lost, we love to see it!!! Milton created the bad boy by writing Satan *that way* so, yeap, we love it (it was so funny studying this at uni JAJAJAJAJ) 39:23 I love that you are going back to your kdrama era. My mother has entered it, and she loves them so much 💗😂😂 42:37 Wooowwww it's beautiful!!! 48:48 We will not ask about FSoG, no worries JAJAJAJAJA 57:27 I hope you are doing well, and that the medications are not doing you dirty 🥺🥺🫂🫂
Not really related to anything in this video, but could you please make a guide to choosing the right translation for classics? I'm a baby beginner to classics, and get this random motivation to read them every few months, but get so overwhelmed with all the different translations available. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos. Such a comfort to see in my inbox. :)
@@throneofpages Thank you! Looking forward to watching and getting some guidance. You're literally the queen of encouraging people to branch out into the intimidating classics. ❤
Love seeing you back in the kdrama era! I recently started "Itaewon class" and I'm loving it, the characters are soo interesting ✨ Lovely video as always 💞
AHH i didn't know you were reading crime and punishment!! i hope you love it 🫣 if you ask me you should definitely prioritize monte cristo over war and peace 😌👉👈
for healing k-dramas, i'd totally recommend "miss night and day"!!!! the main character is also going through a bit of a healing journey throughout the drama & it has so many fun elements in it. i loove the romance as well
My fav kdrama I watched recently is "the judge from hell" with park shin Hye too. It is more of a thriller but her acting is top tier in it. And the little romance in it is nice
It’s sood to see you happy and enjoying yourself! ❤ I was so hyped when I saw you unbox Paradise Lost lol, I'm so excited to hear your thoughts about it whenever you pick it up.
This video feels like a huge warm hug after one of the worst weeks of my life :") thank you for being here Bella, and for being so awesome. You really are a bright star in this world
I've been watching your channel for a while but I never comment. But, I just want to say I love how I always discover a new queer classic when watching your videos!!
Irene here! Glad you got my package(s ?!), Amazon is messing up a lot here recently, so I was a bit worried 😅 Also, Paradise Lost has some of the BEST verses in my opinion, but those notes will be useful. And my unread copy of the Well of Loneliness is glaring at me from my TBR cart 😂 Hope you have a great week!
yes to enjoying your 20s! i need to remind myself more often that i'll only be in my 20s once! i really need to start watching love next door i've been out of my kdrama era for way too long at this point. have you ever watched 'romance is a bonus book'? it's one of my favorite kdramas, i would highly recommend it!💛💛
i also cried while watching love next door. just a pool of tears especially in those big reveal episodes like why'd she have to go through so much?? her ex can go in the trash pls and thx 😭 i'll be scouring your comments section for new dramas to watch too tbh
Ive been in a kdrama slump until recently and only just caught up with No Gain No Love and the Virtuous Business. Theyre pretty fun! The 2nd one is quite unique imo. Ive been trying to watch Jeongyeon - a Star is born too but its been a pretty slow start
perfect timing!! I needed a good motivation to finish tidying my room ++ Good luck with Les Miserables!! //Want to read it also but found out I have a shortened version, which makes me weary to pick it up
i hope you finished tidying up your room 🤭 i'm very against abridged versions so if you ever get the chance definitely give the complete edition a try!
Have you watched mad for each other? At first I didn’t really get into it and dropped it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it and when I restarted it a couple months later I flew through and loved it!
idk if you remember my comment, but idk a few videos ago i said i was playing thru OOT for the first time. i finished it, and i was streaming it and literally the second i started ganon fight my shit was Fing and it was a layered fight of frustration and my friends stuck it out and i clutched it at the end and when those credits hit i started crying LMAO such a beautiful game, shadow temple was my favorite :') its weird having nostalgia for a game you didnt play/missed out on as a kid, but when that title screen music hits, oh god im in tears and before you ask yes, i absolutely will ne playing Majora's Mask, it's my best friends favorite game so i legally have to
Nice to hear you're doing fun things and that you enjoy reading les mis :) I like hearing your enthusiasm. For kdrama I'm watching A Business Proposal. Interesting that you got Paradise Lost because I'm currently reading that after listening to an audiodrama version, Satan can be very extra, dramatic and tormented, the worldbuilding details are interesting too.
Hi Bella! I also starting watching k-dramas this year, and completely agree with you - they are so healing!! I also loved 'Love Next Door!' I recently finished True Beauty and am currently started watching Family By Choice which is a new one this year!!
🍂I’m so glad you’re feeling better 🫂 🍂Bente, Irene and Aelor’s taste tho >>> 🍂not you making me want to read les mis 🫣 I’m still struggling to finish Monte Cristo (it’s the best kind of struggle and wouldn’t change it for anything) 🍂yes desk organization 🙌 🍂I’m enjoying this so much, thank you for the vlog Bella 🥹🫶
simps have the best taste confirmed 😩✊ you should definitely give les mis a try, i swear it's not as intimidating when you actually start reading it 😈 (but definitely finish monte cristo first) i'm so happy you enjoyed 🥹💗
I've been so busy I had to watch this video in like four sections, but was able to finish it! Really enjoy your videos! Did you make the little Luffy doll? He's so cute!
Kdrama recommendations: Love Between Fairy and Devil, A Korean Odyssey, Behind Your Touch, Sweet Home, Gyeongseong Creature, My Demon, Doom at Your Service, Business Proposal
Bella, we're the same in terms of kdrama slump. Happy that you are over it, afraid that i am still in it. But...I have a recommendation, Summer Strike is by far one of those kdramas i found that was really healing.
My reaction was the same as you at 27:19 when you read the first verse of paradise lost. I was just like: que? 😂😂😂😂😂 Also I'm so glad that you're back and that you're feeling better this week! ❤❤
For the first time in a while, probably over a year, I picked up a classic. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. I’ve been feeling down lately, but if you can read Les Mis, then I can read this!
Hi Bella! I think this is the first time I've commented on one of your videos, but I've been subscribed for kind a while now and I LOVE your vlogs! I was wondering: do you know mydramalist? It's similar to Goodreads and Storygraph, where you can keep track of your currently watching dramas and make lists to stay organized (I personally love it for the recommendations you can get and to keep up with the new releases!)
Omg thank you so much for commenting and for being here with me 🥹💘 I don’t have a mydramalist account but that’s actually where I get the info to add kdramas into my notion 😂 maybe I should open an account 👀
Hi Bella! 2024 has not been my year but books, Kdramas and BLs have been my solace. My fav Kdrama is Lovely Runner and I would highly recommend it. Also, I don't know if you're into BLs but if not you should definitely give it a try. My fav BL is The On1y One, its so comforting yet so heartbreaking. Love all your videos like always. ❤❤❤
I’ve been hearing a lot about Lovely Runner I definitely need to give it a try!! And I’ve watched some BL in the past before and loved them so thank you for the recs!! 🥹✍️✍️
Girlll, I have a literal kdrama excel sheet, where do we begin - but I think you would love Summer Strike rn. Also, Count of Monte Cristo over Anna Karenina?! - big plot twist ngl xD P.S.: Love that you are feeling better, take care!
@throneofpages hahaha love that.On kdramas, Our Beloved Summer and Romance is a Bonus Book are greattt too. If you don't mind a not-strictly-romantic (but imo equally cathartic) one, Moving is now one of my favssss (along w 2521, etc.)
I feel like you'd really enjoy the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante (first book being My brilliant friend), there's also a show if you want to check it out!
Bella! Love your vlogs so inspiring ✨ gimme all the books 📔📔yes! Also I love the quality of your videos - what camera do you use? - also I’m a fellow Dominicana 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 Que lo Que !
hi bella! I really love your videos, really looking forward to watching more of your contents. you really encourage me into getting out of my reading slump and so much more! also, i would like to recommend you giving Twenty-Five Twenty-One K-drama a chance whenever you want to. it's my favorite show that I can't stop thinking about up till now, and i hope you will like it as much as i did 🙈
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you find my videos encouraging 🥹💘 also, twenty five twenty one is one of my all time favorite kdramas!! you have incredible taste 🤭💞

first of all twinkling watermelon is probably my favorite k-drama ever. family by choice is one i would recommend because it kind of gives the same vibe as twinkling watermelon, it is so good!!💗
i had never heard of family by choice so i'm definitely adding it to my list if it reminds you of one of my favorites too ✍️✍️
@@throneofpages it's the korean remake of the chinese version, "go ahead", which I ADORE SO MUCH, if you'd ever want to check the og out as well
OMG, i’m not an avid k-drama watcher but I just recently finished Twinkling Watermelon and it has become one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME. It rewired my whole brain chemistry.
YOUR REACTION TO THE BOOKS I GOT YOU IS SO CUTE!!! I really hope you'll enjoy them both
both of us seeing the black/white thing is so hot
i will definitely be telling you ALL my thoughts 😈💞 YES EXACTLY THE BLACK AND WHITE THING YOU GET IT 😩✊
The fact that I read les misérables as a (French) child is astonishing to me... I'm so excited for the dedicated vlog ! You're soo brave

Love seeing you back in the kdrama era! I recently started "Itaewon class" and I'm loving it, the characters are soo interesting ✨ Lovely video as always 💞
Itaewon Class is incredible!! I hope you love it 💘
Watching you stay so consistent with Les Mis has really motivated me to push myself to stay consistent with Crime & Punishment
AHH i didn't know you were reading crime and punishment!! i hope you love it 🫣 if you ask me you should definitely prioritize monte cristo over war and peace 😌👉👈
@ I’m really enjoying C&P rn. I’m at part 3. Okay so maybe I just read monte cristo since I already own that one
Girl I love your energy ❤
I am happy that you are feeling better ♥
for healing k-dramas, i'd totally recommend "miss night and day"!!!! the main character is also going through a bit of a healing journey throughout the drama & it has so many fun elements in it. i loove the romance as well
oOOoOooh??? i saw it pop up on my netflix and didn't really look into it but you're making me want to have a closer look 👀✍️
My fav kdrama I watched recently is "the judge from hell" with park shin Hye too. It is more of a thriller but her acting is top tier in it. And the little romance in it is nice
uuu i love me a little bit of thriller every now and again 👀✍️
I love seeing the kdramas you’re watching and have watched! I recommend Strangers From Hell, Castaway Diva, and my fav Run On.
the only one i haven't watched is castaway diva so i guess i know which one I'm watching next 😈💗
@ im excited to see what you think! good luck with the first episode, it’s a tear jerker 🫶🏻🥲
It’s sood to see you happy and enjoying yourself! ❤
I was so hyped when I saw you unbox Paradise Lost lol, I'm so excited to hear your thoughts about it whenever you pick it up.
thank you 🥹😭💗 i'm so excited as well!! intimidated but very excited 😌
This video feels like a huge warm hug after one of the worst weeks of my life :") thank you for being here Bella, and for being so awesome. You really are a bright star in this world
Que bella eres muchísimas gracias 😭😭💘
me and my never ending love for your hour long vlogs😭
I’m so happy you love them 😭💘
I've been watching your channel for a while but I never comment. But, I just want to say I love how I always discover a new queer classic when watching your videos!!
thank you for commenting 🥹 i love that!!
Thank you Bente also because imma have to check these out, because that plot twist?? lol I was like, *pikachu gasp*!
NO LITERALLY 😭😂
I just finished Anna Karenina, and it was a ride. I just started Stoner by John William. My husband's name is John William.
Irene here! Glad you got my package(s ?!), Amazon is messing up a lot here recently, so I was a bit worried 😅 Also, Paradise Lost has some of the BEST verses in my opinion, but those notes will be useful. And my unread copy of the Well of Loneliness is glaring at me from my TBR cart 😂 Hope you have a great week!
IRENE you absolute angel thank you again so much for your lovely gifts 😭💗🥹 my single copy of my love mix up was indeed lonely 🥹
@throneofpages I'm glad you like them! Hopefully, you'll have a great time with them 😊
yes to enjoying your 20s! i need to remind myself more often that i'll only be in my 20s once! i really need to start watching love next door i've been out of my kdrama era for way too long at this point. have you ever watched 'romance is a bonus book'? it's one of my favorite kdramas, i would highly recommend it!💛💛
romance is a bonus book was my very first kdrama!!! i love it so much 😭💗
You talking about healing kdramas reminded me of ‘If you wish upon me’. It tugs at your heartstrings:(
i haven't heard of that one yet!! i'm gonna look it up 👀✍️
i also cried while watching love next door. just a pool of tears especially in those big reveal episodes like why'd she have to go through so much?? her ex can go in the trash pls and thx 😭 i'll be scouring your comments section for new dramas to watch too tbh
nO FR THOSE EPS WERE SO PAINFUL 😭😭😭
Ive been in a kdrama slump until recently and only just caught up with No Gain No Love and the Virtuous Business. Theyre pretty fun! The 2nd one is quite unique imo. Ive been trying to watch Jeongyeon - a Star is born too but its been a pretty slow start
I hadn't heard of Virtuous Business before but now I'm intrigued 👀
perfect timing!! I needed a good motivation to finish tidying my room ++ Good luck with Les Miserables!! //Want to read it also but found out I have a shortened version, which makes me weary to pick it up
i hope you finished tidying up your room 🤭 i'm very against abridged versions so if you ever get the chance definitely give the complete edition a try!
You should do a classics tour!
what do you mean by classics tour? 👀✍️
@@throneofpages show off all the classics you own!
hiya really nice to see u so happy bella xx 🎉🎉🎉
You should try "Romance is a bonus book" its one of my favourite kdramas🥺
i love romance is a bonus book!!
also, idk if you already saw it, but a good healing kdrama is castaway diva
i haven't watched it yet but it's been on my radar for a while!!
Have you watched mad for each other? At first I didn’t really get into it and dropped it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it and when I restarted it a couple months later I flew through and loved it!
omg i actually watched the first episode and didn't really vibe with it, should i give it another chance? 👀
Intermezzo is amazing 🥹😭
i'm so excited!!!
idk if you remember my comment, but idk a few videos ago i said i was playing thru OOT for the first time. i finished it, and i was streaming it and literally the second i started ganon fight my shit was Fing and it was a layered fight of frustration and my friends stuck it out and i clutched it at the end and when those credits hit i started crying LMAO such a beautiful game, shadow temple was my favorite :') its weird having nostalgia for a game you didnt play/missed out on as a kid, but when that title screen music hits, oh god im in tears
and before you ask yes, i absolutely will ne playing Majora's Mask, it's my best friends favorite game so i legally have to
Was having a bad day at Uni and then this popped up 🥹 can’t wait to watch!!
i hope the rest of your weekend goes better 🥺💞
You should try My Love Mix Up Drama as well as Cherry Magic! 😊 🍒
cherry magic was so fun!! 🥹
@ ❤️ What Did You Eat Yesterday if you want a good BL
Nice to hear you're doing fun things and that you enjoy reading les mis :) I like hearing your enthusiasm. For kdrama I'm watching A Business Proposal. Interesting that you got Paradise Lost because I'm currently reading that after listening to an audiodrama version, Satan can be very extra, dramatic and tormented, the worldbuilding details are interesting too.
You describing Satan as very extra, dramatic and tormented has just made me even more excited to give it a try so thank you 😌
done & dusted was so 😐 but weirdly enough i lOved the second book swift & saddled. 😭😭
Not you making me curious enough to give it a chance now 😭😭
"pls dont ask" hahah
bella, i'd like to recommend wonderful world. it's been a long time since i cried so much with a kdrama! ✨
ooooh? 👀✍️
Hi Bella! I also starting watching k-dramas this year, and completely agree with you - they are so healing!! I also loved 'Love Next Door!' I recently finished True Beauty and am currently started watching Family By Choice which is a new one this year!!
Family by choice still has 4 episodes to go!
@@ranasafi4858 oh really!! sry i didnt know...i was told otherwise 🤐
True Beauty is soo tropey but such a fun time!! I had actually never heard of Family By Choice before but now I *have* to check it out 👀
🍂I’m so glad you’re feeling better 🫂
🍂Bente, Irene and Aelor’s taste tho >>>
🍂not you making me want to read les mis 🫣 I’m still struggling to finish Monte Cristo (it’s the best kind of struggle and wouldn’t change it for anything)
🍂yes desk organization 🙌
🍂I’m enjoying this so much, thank you for the vlog Bella 🥹🫶
simps have the best taste confirmed 😩✊ you should definitely give les mis a try, i swear it's not as intimidating when you actually start reading it 😈 (but definitely finish monte cristo first)
i'm so happy you enjoyed 🥹💗
Estos son mis videos favoritos 😭😭💓
I've been so busy I had to watch this video in like four sections, but was able to finish it! Really enjoy your videos! Did you make the little Luffy doll? He's so cute!
i'm so glad you enjoyed, even if it took you a while to get through it 😂💗 the crocheted luffy was actually a gift! 🥰
I’d recommend mouse it has no boring episodes.😊
Kdrama recommendations: Love Between Fairy and Devil, A Korean Odyssey, Behind Your Touch, Sweet Home, Gyeongseong Creature, My Demon, Doom at Your Service, Business Proposal
I have that copy of The Well Of Loneliness! It’s really good and I think you’ll enjoy it. 😊
i'm so excited to get to it!!
My liberation notes and summer strike are my all time comfort kdramas which i cannot and will not ever stop recommending to people😭✨
I LOVE THOSE TWO WITH MY ENTIRE HEART 😭😭💖
Bella, we're the same in terms of kdrama slump. Happy that you are over it, afraid that i am still in it. But...I have a recommendation, Summer Strike is by far one of those kdramas i found that was really healing.
I looove Summer Strike!! You have great taste 😩💘
My reaction was the same as you at 27:19 when you read the first verse of paradise lost. I was just like: que? 😂😂😂😂😂
Also I'm so glad that you're back and that you're feeling better this week! ❤❤
a soft "qué?" can always be heard when you're around me for real my normal state is always confused 😂😌
bella you have to watch Lovely Runner!!!
oOOH? 👀✍️
YAYY NEW VIDEO !! bella, do you think about one day making a reading vlog in spanish?
omg maybe 👉👈
building my new lego set while watching bella's new video is the best type of sunday i could've ever ask for 🤍💐
That sounds like a perfect Sunday 😩🙏🏻
For the first time in a while, probably over a year, I picked up a classic. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. I’ve been feeling down lately, but if you can read Les Mis, then I can read this!
you got this!! 🫶
Hi Bella! I think this is the first time I've commented on one of your videos, but I've been subscribed for kind a while now and I LOVE your vlogs! I was wondering: do you know mydramalist? It's similar to Goodreads and Storygraph, where you can keep track of your currently watching dramas and make lists to stay organized (I personally love it for the recommendations you can get and to keep up with the new releases!)
Omg thank you so much for commenting and for being here with me 🥹💘 I don’t have a mydramalist account but that’s actually where I get the info to add kdramas into my notion 😂 maybe I should open an account 👀
Hi Bella! 2024 has not been my year but books, Kdramas and BLs have been my solace. My fav Kdrama is Lovely Runner and I would highly recommend it. Also, I don't know if you're into BLs but if not you should definitely give it a try. My fav BL is The On1y One, its so comforting yet so heartbreaking. Love all your videos like always. ❤❤❤
I’ve been hearing a lot about Lovely Runner I definitely need to give it a try!! And I’ve watched some BL in the past before and loved them so thank you for the recs!! 🥹✍️✍️
42:27 Your Screensaver 😍🔥🔥
Girlll, I have a literal kdrama excel sheet, where do we begin - but I think you would love Summer Strike rn. Also, Count of Monte Cristo over Anna Karenina?! - big plot twist ngl xD
P.S.: Love that you are feeling better, take care!
i loooved summer strike!! and YES MONTE CRISTO OVER ANNA I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL 😩✊
@throneofpages hahaha love that.On kdramas, Our Beloved Summer and Romance is a Bonus Book are greattt too. If you don't mind a not-strictly-romantic (but imo equally cathartic) one, Moving is now one of my favssss (along w 2521, etc.)
Omg how did you get that screensaver, its so cute ❤
i followed a tutorial on tik tok 🫣
@ i figured it out. Thank you✨
I feel like you'd really enjoy the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante (first book being My brilliant friend), there's also a show if you want to check it out!
i've heard of my brilliant friend before but i didn't know it was part of a quartet!! 👀✍️
Paradise Lost is so intimidating, I'll need you to read it before I do... and Dante's Inferno too. thank you 😂
I got you 😩🤝
Bella! Love your vlogs so inspiring ✨ gimme all the books 📔📔yes! Also I love the quality of your videos - what camera do you use? - also I’m a fellow Dominicana 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 Que lo Que !
hoola yo uso la canon g7x mark II 🥰✨
hi bella! I really love your videos, really looking forward to watching more of your contents. you really encourage me into getting out of my reading slump and so much more! also, i would like to recommend you giving Twenty-Five Twenty-One K-drama a chance whenever you want to. it's my favorite show that I can't stop thinking about up till now, and i hope you will like it as much as i did 🙈
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you find my videos encouraging 🥹💘 also, twenty five twenty one is one of my all time favorite kdramas!! you have incredible taste 🤭💞
@@throneofpages 🥰
have you watched Lovely Runner??? that kdrama had me in a chokehold this year, i still haven’t recovered
i'm currently watching it 👀
@ yippee!! be prepared for pain
k-drama recommendation: Summer Strike
i love that kdrama!!
um thank you Bente!
