I too also just want to read and not work. My birthday is next week and I’ve convinced my partner to drive me around to used book stores all day in celebration. Y’all have given me some new titles to look out for. ❤
I’m adopting this opinion. I’m still on the ban, and I stand by all my book buying decisions! 👏🏽 but really, this comments section has been so validating lol
Yalls chemistry is sooo fun to watch lol the Booker Prize moment had me rolling laughing at the similar reactions and even the similar movements lol such an awesome friendship 🙌🏽👯♀️ Also, I say this was the best way to break a book ban 😂🥂how can you pass any of these things up ?! So, it was fair lol
My father LOVES the movie of No Country for Old Men! Also my partner went to London and tried to get me to talk her out of buying Babel…which I didn’t do, and now she has the Waterstones edition 😂
Another wonderful Monday night with you guys. Thank you as always. I also have that same cover of Atonement and it's the one I'm most excited to read eventually as the acclaim for it is just so insanely hugeee.
Sierra's verbal and Jon's facial expressions are the best😂! Buying books while travelling adds to two experiences: travelling AND reading. I am so happy, you picked up a "Collum Toe-been" (now you saw the pronunciation twice- maybe it sticks😉) book, I hope you adore his writing too. Sierra, do you know the booktube channel Hannah May, she lives with ME and Endometriosis and reads lots of non-fiction books about living with disability and pain. Maybe you should check her out?
Sounds fun! Really these are souvenirs from your trip. I think the Body Kintsugi sounds really interesting for similar reasons, also a beautiful cover.
If you're in London again and you fancy an IRL booktube meet up, let me know! I love Daunt so much, especially the downstairs. Atonement has been on my physical tbr for about 10 years 🙈 Adored tin man. Testament of mary I thought was great, I love his writing. Also have Trespasses which I'm excited to get to (& I think is currently being adapted for TV).

That sounds like such a dreamy day!! Enjoy!!! And happy early birthday! 🫶🏽

In my opinion, buying books on vacation doesn't count! They're souvenirs! So, I don't think you broke your book-buying ban!

Im so excited to see Cormac's - No Country for Old Men on the list!!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Excited to get into it for sure! Will keep you posted on my thoughts!

You'll have to keep us posted on Atonement if you get to it before we do
So exciting hearing about how you were drawn into London bookstores! Saunders’ book is genius and Trespasses is excellent. 📚 Also Tin Man 💔
We appreciate you watching! And I 100% feel you with Tin Man

I haven’t heard of Hannah May! I will def check the channel out 🫶🏽

Thinking of them as souvenirs is a great way to look at it
Great show. The concept of Kintsugi is very inspiring, the book sounds fascinating. Enjoy your content
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the comment!
The Testament of Mary and Body Kintsugi sound interesting. Also, Jon trying to fill in the dead space. 😁
haha I did my best

I live in the UK and I swear Atonement is in every charity shop I go in to😂
haha the universe (or marketing) is telling us to read it
ooo love that cover for So Late in the Day!! I just finished Small Things Like These last month
Nice! what did you think of it? we both love Claire Keegan!
@@andtheywerereaders I adored Small Things Like These ! just finished So Late in the Day. “Antarctica” was WILD did not expect

Atonement has been on my physical tbr for about 10 years 🙈
Adored tin man.
Testament of mary I thought was great, I love his writing.

I would love an IRL meetup with a fellow booktuber 🤗 we can get to atonement 🫡 I believe in us!
@@andtheywerereadersI believe in us too! Reach out if you come to the UK again 😊
Having not been on a vacation since 2017 I cannot relate to all this vacationing 🙃
Oh no! Hopefully you can find time to get away soon! We've definitely been very fortunate and we are very grateful
Love this - you got some amazing books 📚 I just posted a birthday haul where I got some amazing new books too.
A birthday hall is always the best! Gotta treat yourself!
Honestly, what is a girl to do when faced with pretty UK covers?
This.
“I don’t like when books pull a very small scene and that’s the cover.” Wow just @ The Book Thief next time, sheesh 🤣
Haha happy it was obvious to you too

I mean you can’t go to London and NOT buy books!
Exactly!
i love this corner of the internet 🫶🏾
it's the coziest corner
No Country For Old Men is incredible! I hope you enjoy it and I hope your London trip was a delight!
Thanks! It was a blast!
