Hi Krista! You are my favorite booktuber!!🎉 Love your videos!!!!
Thanks so much, Stacey!
Me too!
WHEN THE DAY COMES 😭😭 The whole timeless series is beautiful to me. The faith is great and my favorite ❤
It is a big hit from so many. I'm sure I'll continue at some point.
I have that blanket! It's so cozy! My mom and I are currently doing the Jane Austen puzzle! Super fun!
And "The Kitchen Front" is completely delightful!
How had I never heard of this one before?! It sounds right up my alley.
Melissa Ferguson is a delight! I haven’t read any of her books yet, but met her at an author event. How to Plot a Payback is on my summer TBR.
Oh fun! I look forward to trying out this one.
So glad you have the kitchen front i think you will love!! 39:45
It does sound like one I'll love. 🤞
My nephew is the same way with water. ;) WHEN THE DAY COMES!!! I just finished that book and the sequel!!! 4 1/2 and 5 stars!!!!
I'm determined that he will like it much better by end of summer. I love water so hoping some of that will rub off! haha. I am sure I'll read the sequel at some point. Just not sure when.
My oldest daughter and I so enjoy watching your free little library finds and hauls you have great recommendations!
Aww thank you both so much for watching!
Save the puzzle for Jane Austen July. Love the blanket.
Perfect! I love that idea.
So glad you’re OK!😇🙏🏻
As always, wonderful vlog.
Thanks so much, Janet.
You’re so welcome. I also have the blanket and my husband kept using it 😮😮 so I bought him his own. Love your light hair color.
I love love love that blanket! I think I will save the puzzle for Jane Austen July. And I'm bringing the watercolor book up to my mom's next week so my sister and I can play around with it together. Should be fun. THANK YOU so so much for your kindness and generosity!
Glad you started the timeless series! There’s 2 more books out!
I am sure I'll continue the series...someday. haha.
I will probably continue...someday!
Your bed head hair is pretty! So full!❤😊😂
Haha. Thanks!
Oh my goodness, how funny-I just picked up The Kitchen Front from Book Outlet during their fiction sale. Same thing-read the first couple lines of the back cover, and was like yes please! 😆
I love when a book has a good summary like that. Totally drew me in! I hope we both love it!
When the Day Comes was a four-star for me as well.I gave the second book in the series five stars. I'm looking forward to reading the third book soon. Close calls are scary, I'm so glad you were able to avoid the wreck. PTL
I keep hearing that people like book 2 even more in the Timeless series. Looks like I need to continue it!
Your bed head looks alot better than mine!
I'm glad you're ok. ❤❤
Whew me too. It was scary.
Way to go Karen! You celebrated both her anniversary and her birthday is around the corner. It was like "Christmas" watching her open your package. Krista your hair is red and wavy and I "love it so much!" The vlog was so fun. Thank you for your hard work-always.
What a fun surprise that package was! I love a good surprise and a bookish one is just the best! Karen did nail it! Glad it's fun to watch.
Great video!! Looks like you had a great weekend!
thanks. It was a good weekend.
I read the last house on the street this eeek! It was great!
I'm about1/2 way through now and loving it.
Hey Krista! Just started reading Tress of the Emerald Sea. 44 pages on my way to Capetown!
Woohoo! I hope you really enjoy it. I thought it was fun.
Your hair looks fabulous! I’ve been hearing about the Gabrielle Meyer series everywhere! It premise sounds a bit like The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley. I’ll have to try it!
Thanks so much, Lisa. There are some similarities with The Rose Garden. I loved that one!
I love that shirt!! 🔥🔥
I’ve had the kitchen front om my tbr for a while!
It sounds like such a good one.
Do you have any historical fiction recs? Everything on audible is on sale! And you’re one of my go to channels for those especially world war 2! I posted a video asking for book recs! Sale’s over on Sunday!
Love your hair! It’s amazing how much getting your hair done lifts your spirits 😎
It's such a treat for sure!
Raise your hand if you forgot about patreon reading sprints 🙋♀! Oops. LOVE the hair!! Ephesians is one of my favorite books of the Bible. I'll have to check out Sit, Watch, Stand.
Sit Walk Stand is the Watchman Nee book. It's SO SO good. Don't worry. I am determined to have Patreon sprints more often.
Poor little buddy isn't a water baby 😂
You can never have too many blankets! Yassss!!
I agree and it was such a surprise! I love it!
Hair looks great!
You’re really making me want to read Tress! I have it but I’m trying partway through Oathbringer right now and need to finish that first!
And the Christian fiction sounded great too!
If you already like Brandon Sanderson I think you'll absolutely love Tress. It's such a fun one.
TAR has been a struggle for me this month haha! I think coming off of Escape didn’t help 😅 I have been hitting all of the city prompts but Paris is the first one I have made it “on time” to 🤣 I’m still having fun! But also taking it very casually!
So far only one city didn't line up with the books already on my TBR so I'm doing pretty good! It's a lot and can be a bit overwhelming. I haven't done any of the detours so far and don't interact much in discord. I can't keep up! But it's fun to see and I'm VERY impressed with all the work that has gone into it. So cool.
Tuesday evening here. Like your dress, hair, book store. Your car scare. Relative, RN sent me The Women. Just started. 📚
Thanks so much for watching, Mary.
Love your hair! Best feeling ever to cover up my multitude of grays! 😆 What a fabulous puzzle and cute blanket! And I just gotta say, I’m loving your bookcase with all the comforts and inspirations-Anne and other LM Montgomery, Gilmore Girls, Louie Giglio devotionals, etc!! What’s not to love?!
Thanks Jessie. I need to get out to that room to do bookshelf tour/organize/unhaul videos. Soon.
Love your hair! 😍
Thanks, Lindsay!
I’m so sorry you lost your watch data. My watch went missing a while back and I found it last week. I want to get serious with my data this summer. Maybe I need to write my totals in my planner?
No splash was/is a big thing for me. Everyone made fun of me until I was 25 and saw a dermatologist. She told me I had notoriously sensitive skin called Fitzwilliam, Fitzgerald, or something like that. Turns out water droplets are uncomfortable on my face. (I back into the shower spray to the water doesn’t hit my face. I have a couple other friends with the same condition and we all shower with our backs to the nozzle.) More than likely little dude just isn’t used to splashes. But, if he has skin that is practically white, never tans (burns, blisters, peals then freckles) be mindful of this. I am quite impressed with the way you are cognizant of ways to help the little dude get over things like this.
Have a great day.
Yeah, I was bummed about the data, but it's not a big deal really. haha. I am determined to keep working on my health and having that visual is helpful and motivating. Thank you for sharing a bit of your story. I think for my little dude it's not a painful thing, he just needs a minute to warm up to changes and new things sometimes. We went to another splash pad yesterday and it was a bit better than last week even.
So glad no crash omg that b awful..Book store best place to relax.No chairs bummer doesn't make sense evey place should have a chair or bench my opinion..Your lighter hair is very good on you..Take Care b safe..
It was quite scary, but a good reminder that God is looking out for me. I'm convinced it was a miracle.
Oh! The "Timeless" series is one of my faves! I have read the 3 that are out so far and all are wonderful! She always surprises me.
Good to know! I will continue...someday!
Hi Krista! 😊
Another lovely vlog!
The (almost) car accident sounds terribly frightening.
I am relieved that all is well, and that your angels were watching over you. 🪽
Your new dress is beautiful!
Take good care - 😊📚
Thanks so much, Lori. I am convinced it was a miracle. God's got me!
I agree! ✝️
I loved When the Day Comes. Also loved book 2 and I'm starting book 3 in the Timeless series as soon as I finish the book I'm reading now.. So glad you were able to avoid the accident, it is very scary when that happens.. Love the nails.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the next in the series. I will probably continue, I just don't know when.
Lol yes you're looking cute! Fun receiving something in the mail🤗📚
Yeah a weekend vlog! Love your vlogs Krista!🤗💙📚
The Timeless Series is so so good.
I have the same blanket in my library! Love it!
My church has a Go Trip to Nicaragua this summer as well! Very interesting. A woman from my Small Discussion group is going. I would love to go there, but not when it's hot outside!
Yeah, it's going to be super hot!
I almost got in a car accident the other day too. God protected me and you from harm. :)
Absolutely! It's scary, but a good reminder to keep trusting Him!
I'm glad you are okay!
I Iove your videos. And how you tell about the books 😊
I really enjoyed Kitchen Front and I think the Jenny Colgan book was one that was just ok but I may be confusing it with a Christmas cupcake book?
A few of Colgan's books were right up my alley. One was a little more steamy than I prefer and had a sneaky relationship that I didn't like. I'm hopeful this will be a good one.
I always enjoy your videos!
Did you end up getting new sneakers?
I didn't. Sadly. My foot is just so big! haha. There's only ever one or two options and I didn't find what I wanted on Sat. I think I'll just have to go to DIck's Sporting Goods and hope for something there.
I’m with Little Dude, I don’t like to get wet either. Maybe he’ll change, I was okay with it as a child (so I changed the other way).
I’ve been waiting to see how you liked Tress. I’m not a fantasy reader but I hear so much about Brandon Sanderson that I feel like I should read something by him. Maybe Tress.
It’s too bad you’re not enjoying Norvelt. I usually HIGHLY recommend the sequel if you read Dead End. It completely changes the ending. (I hope saying that is not spoiler-y.)
Thanks for the video.
We went to a splash pad again yesterday and he did even better. I'm hoping he'll continue to warm up to it as summer goes along. I really enjoyed Tress. I wish I knew before starting that Norvelt was so historical and based a lot on the author's life. I knew none of that until the author's note at the end.
What do you mean by Everand jail? Is there a limit on audiobooks?
I am not sure what the limit is, but yes. The more you listen to on Everand some of what's available is just held as unavailable until your subscription renews. We jokingly call it "jail"
If you go into the health app from your phone instead of from your watch, your workouts and activity should still be recorded there.
Yeah, it wasn't there. 😞 But it is all fixed now.
everland jail?
Yeah, Everand is where I listen to a bunch of audiobooks. At some point they start to "hide" some of my saved books and they won't be available again until my subscription renews. We jokingly call that Everand Jail.
