i didn’t tear up until the last bit either but i was still surprised at how much i /felt/ while reading a story told by someone who doesn’t feel much at all. says a lot about the writing i think!!!! simplicity can have a lot of depth. loved it
I just finished this book on Tuesday ! It is one of Namjoon's recs ! I agree with you that it wasn't as sad as people said it was but I still enjoyed it ! I felt like there could've been more character development, although that could just be due to the pov. So nice to hear your thoughts !
oh my gosh! I haven’t watched the video yet because it’s legit past midnight here, but I saw Almond on the thumbnail! hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
this WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VLOG IVE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU FOR THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS EXPERIENCE. I REALLY LOVED AND ENJOYED IT. THE VIBES OH MY GOD. SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU FILMED THIS AND SHARED IT.
I’m looking forward to reading this book! I’ve heard it compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime which I really liked and recommend. Also, that cafe!😍
@@caricanread the beggining (until 10-15% maybe?) is not as good as the rest of the book so if you give another chance you might get into it!! it really does tear your heart out though, so be careful!
I never thought we would get a Cari x Seoul Walker collab omg 👏🏃♀️💞 (but seriously jokes aside I'm really excited to see what you thought of this book!)
@@Hakwoxdbjwznek i don't think this was meant as one episode just a general like "collab" because she was walking the streets of Seoul just like Seoul walker :)
It's so gorgeous there right now! I'm going to add this book to my list of books to read, it sounds really interesting. I miss being able to go read in cafes or at the library, but cases are worse than ever here at the moment. But it's finally getting warm so at least reading outside will be a good option and I think this video inspired me to do just that this weekend. Enjoy the rest of the cherry blossom season!
I’m also currently reading Almond so this video was extra enjoyable to me! I agree about the passive pov making me also feel passive about it! And the cherry blossoms are gooooorgeous!
Beautiful!✨ I love cherry blossoms! Actually, I saw you in a “walk with me” vídeo the other day. I was like “Wait! Pause! Is that Cari? Is it? Omg! It is her!”. So yeah😂
I definintely agree with it not being that kind of book that makes you like super sad, but like you said, it was such an easy book to read,, I'm looking forward to reading another of her books if she'll publish more in the future!
Cari can read. Cari can film. Cari can photograph. Cari can walk. Cari can talk. Cari can SMILE 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝 But most of all Cari can EAT. He he. Cari is a ⭐ and I enjoy all she does. Thank you XX Say hi to K.
I read the book at a cafe too!! Love love the book! An easy read and a heart-warming book. You have motivated me to picked up reading again after a long time ❤️
I know I’m a bit late but...This vlog was just so pleasing!! I’m glad you liked Almond, I do think it was a bit sad at the beginning and at the end but it was more heartwarming than sad to me. It’s such an easy read and it got me out of my reading slump so I recommend it to everyone as well!
Books, Cherry Blossoms, and coffee.... What else can we dream about?! Just love it, and now I have one more book on my TBR! It's getting enormous, Cari, and it's your fault! hahahahah Love you!
I’ve just realised that you also remove the cover on a hardback book when you read! I do it every time because it annoys me when it falls down every time I read. Great video as always! It was so relaxing to watch! 💓
The book reminds me a bit of the drama 'Flower of Evil'! Definitely recommend it, and thank you for the acquaintance with 'Almond' and springtime Seoul aesthetics! 😍🌸 Btw, a real big homebody here, but you made me want to relocate to a cozy cafe with a window-seat option 😁
i feel so envious to see actual spring in your vlogs 🥺 it snowed today in my country and i miss seeing flowers and blossoms.. by the way do you have any korean literature recommendations?? (i loved the almond, it seems that in general all my favorite modern korean books are written by women) ❤️💞💘💗
Okay this book is going straight to my shopping cart so I'll be able to read alongside you!! Thanks for being such a positive and inspiring person, I hope I'll be able to make videos like yours one day
The degree to which I cry about books usually has to do with how much I identify with the narrator/main character. I read books that have like, horrifically sad things happen in them all the time but if I am not connecting with the main character in a really personal way I can't/don't cry. Usually I am sobbing when it's "OH NO ME TOOO I GET IT WAAAAAAH" when reading, even when I feel pain and sadness for what happens to characters.
Are you using libby? (since u said hold list haha) In that case its possible to postpone your hold! Like you can let the next person go before you and get it after them, which is really nice in cases when you get all of your books from your hold list at the same time haha
Loooved this so much! I also read Almond recently because you bought it in a previous vlog 😂 also, the cherry blossoms disappeared so quickly this year 😥 P.S. where did you get your mask? It’s so cute!
Enjoyed the reading vlog!!! I was wondering if you have read the Kate Daniels series, since you like the fantasy world and romance. I must say it is a slow burner romance, but when you get there... Its the best!!
@@caricanread Don't be scared by the cover art tho!! I have to say these book, certainly the third and fourth, are my favorite books to listen and read. The main character is a strong, hilarious and not perfect woman and I really spoke to me! I hope you will enjoy them :)
As always cari you make such high quality videos 💜💜💜💜 i really enjoyed your crash landing on you video it was hilarious 😄😄 i have a question for you do you ever feel homesick do you miss the US ?
This was the most beautiful reading vlog I’ve ever seen o m f g
I know right!! also hey jack ☺️
🥺 omg honored!!! it was all seoul’s doing 🌸
Jack i’ve been seeing your comments everywhere today!! We must watch the same booktubers aha
Jack! Cari's vlogs are always aesthetic 🥰. I'm totally biased but she's got the most beautiful reading vlogs on booktube.
The CHERRY BLOSSOMS YALL, i- I'm speechless at such beauty
same :')
You also watch her? Well heey :)
i didn’t tear up until the last bit either but i was still surprised at how much i /felt/ while reading a story told by someone who doesn’t feel much at all. says a lot about the writing i think!!!! simplicity can have a lot of depth. loved it
definitely! and yes! can't have that jacket on hahahah
I also read Almond in a cozy cafe last month, but reading a book under a cherry blossom tree is heaven.
cozy cafes cant be beat!
I just finished this book on Tuesday ! It is one of Namjoon's recs ! I agree with you that it wasn't as sad as people said it was but I still enjoyed it ! I felt like there could've been more character development, although that could just be due to the pov. So nice to hear your thoughts !
yeah the pov definitely controlled a lot of the plot that i would have liked to go deeper into but it was still a fantastic read!
this is my comfort channel 🥺
:') thank you
I’ve fallen in love with Seoul through your videos. 💕
💕💕💕
Amazingly beautiful! And that cherry blossom latte looks fantastic!
oh my gosh! I haven’t watched the video yet because it’s legit past midnight here, but I saw Almond on the thumbnail! hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
It was fantastic!!
You should do more reading vlogs! This is such comforting content
i love making them!! thank you!
Reading under a cherry blossom tree is such a beautiful dream 🌸🌸🌸
🌸🌸🌸
stayed up to treat myself to a healing birthday present, thank you for the comfort 🤍
happy happy birthday!!!!!

Can't wait till this Pon de Replay is over so I can do just that
Omfg I’ve never heard it called pon de replay before and i spat tea all over my phone hahahhahahahhq
this WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VLOG IVE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU FOR THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS EXPERIENCE. I REALLY LOVED AND ENJOYED IT. THE VIBES OH MY GOD. SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU FILMED THIS AND SHARED IT.
With the cherry blossoms falling like that it looks like it is snowing even though I know it is not!!
All that cherry blossom action 😭🌸
i miss them already :')
Looks like I’m living the life Granny wanted for Mom 😂
LOL! its a good one!
I’m looking forward to reading this book! I’ve heard it compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime which I really liked and recommend. Also, that cafe!😍
there are definitely similarities, hope you enjoy!!
Omg, it looka like everything in Korea is aesthetic pleasing. Everything is so beautiful! The sight, the food, the places...
I love this book I just read it last month wow the cherry blossom is gorgeous🌸
glad i captured them before they fell!
Cari never disappoints 🥰💓😍
thank you :') 🌸
Have you ever read A Little Life? That's the one to tear your heart out
i started it but couldn't get into it, so i think i just need to wait for a better time hahah
@@caricanread the beggining (until 10-15% maybe?) is not as good as the rest of the book so if you give another chance you might get into it!! it really does tear your heart out though, so be careful!
That was easily the most depressing book I've ever read. It's so heartbreaking.
who wrote it please?
@@valerieblahova hanya yanagihara
The aesthetic and the book! Chef's kiss amazing ♥️🌸
Hehehe thank you!
I really love all your vlogs and your book rants cari :")

Can someone tell me what video of seoul walker it was?
@@Hakwoxdbjwznek i don't think this was meant as one episode just a general like "collab" because she was walking the streets of Seoul just like Seoul walker :)
@@bianca5882 no haha she was literally in one of seoul walkers videos, just randomly walking there haha. Pretty funny coincidence

I love your vlogs!
I loved it! It felt like I was reading Camus’ The Stranger + a bit of Kashuguro. Have yet to finish it but I’m enjoying it
