I love how Brandon touched on issues surrounding orphanages and how people (especially children) are treated in edgedancer, I forget the exact quote but there was one that legit made me cry
i started taking a sip of my water bottle every time i see a latte/coffee in your blogs and my god am i getting hydrated jajajaj this video reminded me i need to read city of brass! (i have the paperback edition just waiting on my shelf) ginger trying to hunt her own tail was just too precious, we love silly cats in this household
The part about Jake kicking the sod up made me laugh. When my family’s dog Leia was younger we had a small tree/shrub of sorts in our back yard and she decided the leaves just did NOT belong and tore them all off. Didn’t eat them. Just removed them.
Honestly, I'm a mood reader, but I'm also very goal oriented. I make a TBR every month and it makes it so I get through more of my backlogged books, but then I feel as if I don't necessarily enjoy all of the books as much, because I'm not in the mood for them. I also am a little stressed out when I'm not able to read everything on my TBR. So, there's pros & cons to making and sticking to a TBR list.
I love your "teenage daughter" comment so much 😂 I have a 3 y/o Aussie and I feel that deeply! When I tell her no to cuddle she will sit there staring and growling at me 🥲
I LOVED the Mind F*ck series! It was so good, and the play on the pseudonym the author wrote under really got me. Have to love Criminal Minds fan fic! They read so easily and quickly. The plot was great. I recommend it to everyone I know that has KU.
"Snow got too dark" Hahahahaha literally same. About to stock up on Halloween white face paint cause I'm convinced that's the only way I'll find my shade.
So I about died when I was scrolling on Pango and clicked on a book. I scrolled down as I always do to see what other books the seller has..and there is the darling Olivia. I was like ommmmggg it’s Olivia😱 also if you posted about it before I haven’t gotten caught up with my watching so I’ve been binge watching when I can lol
Ms. Olivia!!!!! I about cried tooo when I got the chance to DM you and talk about books ahhhhhh hahahahaha I will continue to say this even if I sound like a broken record!!! BEST 👏🏼 BOOKTUBER 👏🏼 EVER!!!! so it was my pleasure to help you in your search! 💕
I too am the color of paper and I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the sunscreen. Gotta love my Irish decent. I haven’t found one I really like yet. We go to Florida once a year and I and super focused on sun protection and anti aging for my face. Two faced in the shade snow crew 🤣
Any 30-50 spf every 15 minutes. I learned that really quick when I moved to Oahu and burnt so bad I couldn't walk for two weeks. Doctor told me to be more mindful, it actually helped I didn't burn the rest of the time i lived there for 3 1/2 years. And I belong to the snow white club too. 😬
Trust me. Jake is no weirdo. I've had at least 4 dogs, throughout my life, that "kick it up" after they've done their dootie... & 3 of the 4 were large dogs. So Jake, you do you buddy 💗
I read the kingmakers last week, started with the third book on that and then realized that the hey, this is a series, and also like, hello? There's also another series before that. Since I already had committed I read the kingmakers since the beginning and will read the prequel series later
Speaking of cozy mysteries, have you read/heard of Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson series? There were 20ish last time I checked and they’re murder mysteries centered around food that the main character is known for baking. I read them years ago but they’re really good!
I have same issue with leggings where they wear thing between the thighs. One thing I started doing that has helped SO MUCH is do not dry your leggings in the dryer, let them air dry. I'd always heard that but I'm lazy AF but once I started doing that it really helped save the seams not break down as much? I think it's because the tiny little bits of fluff wouldn't get stuck there/pill up and cause friction. But also like you said, I've just accepted that I am wasting money buying cheap leggings. The nicer ones are worth the investment.
Okay but you described My Killer Vacation perfectly. I read it last month and I was disappointed in it when I thought of it as her standard romance but now considering a different lens of cozy mystery with steamy romance I appreciate it much more and would rate it higher. I think it’s important to market it exactly this way so that anyone who has read her previous works can manage their expectations
Omg my dog does that kicking thing to 😂 I also thought it was a small dog thing but still think she’s weird for doing it…love when I’m standing behind her when she does it 💀 as always love the vlogs!!
As someone who only liked about 20% of the previous blood of ash novels, I actually enjoyed the war of 2 queens the best! There’s actually plot! And yes, it’s repetitive and there’s info-dumping…. But it seems like the reason why people are hating on it is absurd and very juvenile. I’d love to hear your thoughts after reading it!
I’ve been put under with anesthesia more times for dental procedures than I have for any other surgeries combined. Shout out to my ancestors as well. Maybe ours knew each other. The anxiety is bad enough without the added anxiety of the cost. 🤮
Your videos give me life lol I relate way too much to not being able to follow a TBR. This year is the only time I've actually attempted to and I've failed very dramatically o.o We do what we can, you know? Haha wishing you a great day
I have a question about sprayed edges (on books). When you're reading a book with sprayed edges, do you find that the colour rubs off on your hands? Just curious.
My dog is about Jakes size and she also kicks grass up after she goes to the bathroom! I’ve never understood the behavior. I just thought she was a weirdo cause I can never get a normal animal lol
I actually enjoyed The War of Two Queen. JLA is one of my favorite authors. She got so much hate and rude comments/messages because of the book that she went on a social media break and even left her groups on Facebook
Because you like the Tessa Bailey book I think you would really like the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, it is cozy mystery with a romance triangle where the main character is a broke 20 something who becomes a bounty hunter so that she can pay the bills. She runs into a sexy agent and her ex who both become love interests in the series. The series has a bunch of book already out. Almost forgot to mention that she has a side kick whose a sex worker who is absolutely hilarious.
Being a mood reader is a freaking struggle. Like I'm in the middle of 10 different books and in the mood for yet another one that is NOT in my currently reading list.
Most cozy mystery series are episodic in style just like those classic mystery series by Agatha Christie or Georgette Heyer, and most of the 1st books can be read as standalone but I should remind you that it likely won't be a 5 star read because it also might be the author's first book and most authors skills improve as the series progress. It might take 2-3 books to figure out if you love a series, kind of like with manga. You also don't have to finish a cozy series. I've read dozens of cozy mystery series but never felt the pressure to finish any of them unlike other genres. They are supposed to be cosy reads after all😊 My favourite type are the cozy historical mysteries like Lady Hardcastle, Flavia De Luce, etc.
You want some good leggings (unfortunately a bit expensive) check out girlfriend collective! I've got them thighs and my pair is still going strong after a couple years! I highly recommend. Plus you can get them with pockets because obvi
@@oliviareadsalatte yeah he’s Irish but the accent he does in Peaky Blinders is a Birmingham one (although a lot of people from Birmingham don’t think the accents in the show are accurate) 😅
It was so good!!!!!! Ahh I loved the last book it wrapped up SO beautifully (?) lol I looked into the author a bit more and want to read some of her other works under her other pen names, but I did find out she passed away last year :(
@@lexiyerton7681 I finished the final book last night and I agree. It’s literally consumed my thoughts lol. I had heard the author had unfortunately passed in a tragic accident, it’s very sad.
honestly people are full on lying about the war of two queens, i think it was a very solid book, wasn't any worse than any previous ones. most of the one star reviewers didn't even read it, they just got mad over 3 out-of-context quotes that were circulating
"Gave me life, Gave me fridge" may be my favorite Olivia quote yet lol
The real life rain ambiance was everything!!
thank you!!
I love how Brandon touched on issues surrounding orphanages and how people (especially children) are treated in edgedancer, I forget the exact quote but there was one that legit made me cry
i started taking a sip of my water bottle every time i see a latte/coffee in your blogs and my god am i getting hydrated jajajaj
this video reminded me i need to read city of brass! (i have the paperback edition just waiting on my shelf)
ginger trying to hunt her own tail was just too precious, we love silly cats in this household
Omg your pets are a vibe. Especially Ginger. With her cute little murder mittens.
I used to think any videos over 20 minutes were way too long but your weekly vlogs have changed my mind!!
That rain ASMR is *Chefs kiss* 🤌🏽

it’s so amazing!
The Suite Spot is so good!!
I love how pupper just wanders through the rain 🥲
I read the war of two queens and I loved it! Reading a shadow in the ember first really helped I think

My huge dog does that too. Not every time he pees but a good amount of time when he is out and about on a walk. Spreading his smell about the place.

I love this hair look with the 2 braids and the orange eye shadow. You’re so Visco!
I am so upset about not getting Daevabad. I kept trying to connect and it wasn’t happening. I hate that for me. I want to love it so bad!
We had almost the exact same thoughts on Mindfck. I got so invested when Hadley’s storyline came in. And Lisa can 1000% choke

I’m not a dentist person either. It makes me super anxious and I’m trying not to freak out the whole time.

Did I miss that you aren't teaching anymore?? I watch while I work and sometimes I miss things.
I was also wondering this!
I want to try a cozy mystery but the length of the series intimidate me and my bank account. Are there any good standalones? 😂
i don’t really read any standalones, but you can’t read books in the series as standalones!
