thank you!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Fablen was awesome!!

Thank you! I love challenges- it makes reading into almost a game :P Glad I am not alone :)

I think I need to do this- have a set plan... I've tried in the past and wasn't very successful- new year and new attempt!

I love this size- I hope you enjoy it- there is so much room to play with... I love the square! I love this cover and the feel of it is really nice too!

Thank you!! That is so sweet.

You are so sweet. Thank you- I'm delighted you are here. Hope your year is filled with amazing reads as well :)

@pageswithpostelwait9720 oh, you're so lovely ✨️❤️

To be completely honest, it wasn't until more recently I realized some of the connections to Temu and their business practices and we as a family are making new choices. But I am a single mom and a teacher so that played into the majority of my decision on that front. As for being purposeful in the books I read- for me- that is a core value and I'm reading for me... if someone doesn't care for those books- there are tons of other channels to go check out. Hope you have a wonderful 2025.

@pageswithpostelwait9720 Im a single mom too. I work at a factory making 32k with no child support or government assistance. I wonder how people can see suspicuously low prices and not question how that is achieved. I dont care or not care if an author adds those characters into their books. Im reading for a story not a whos the wokest author competition. Is not a core value. Its just virtue signaling. Be honest. Yes a good year 2025. The tides are turning.

@@ClaireGreen-wd2gmGirl-chill! People have different values and things they want to focus on at different times in their lives.

Those stickers are absolutely amazing! The colors pop!

@aprilsmith8014 How is takin the time to literally track how many books youre reading where the characters (whos arent even real people) are shaboinking the same s3x a "value"? Meanwhile the sl4ves Temu uses are real people. Hell I bet some of them are even lgbtq...

I love these stickers! Perfect place for them!!

Thank you! Couldn't agree more. A treehouse would make such an adorable library :)

Welcome- I am so glad you are here! Thank you and Happy New Year!

Thank you! Welcome! I love book recommendations and super appreciate your insight!!! I will look into those- especially the nonfiction- WWI doesn't get enough attention. Happy Reading!

Thank you!!

Thank you! Happy New Year!

I would love to know how many you read this year because you were right there with me all year! I love that you are including a banned book spread in your journal. 2025 here we come!

@pageswithpostelwait9720 I think I read 21. I'm really glad you recommend The Marrow Thieves & Palestine.

Absolutely! I'm surviving the last week of school then I'll finish up my Reading Journal 2024 and I plan to do a video for the new 2025 as well :)

Thanks Albert, much better now!

Thank you!!!

Please join my fun!! The lovely thing about a reading journal is that it will be there when you are ready to come back and won't judge you :). Have fun with it... simplify is always a positive choice :). I wish I could loan you my Amulet series- hope you have success in finding them! I love how much my students are still discovering it and enjoying it. Wishing a beautiful November filled with cozy vibes and good books my friend.

Thank you for the suggestions- I found Sweet Bean Paste at the library!! I'm excited to try it.💛

Glad you found me! Hope you enjoy these reads!

Oh- I like this idea- what kind of book club?? I am totally open to a buddy read of the 2nd Coffee book... once I hit France- you are going to remind me of this book right???? :)

@@pageswithpostelwait9720 I guess you'd call an International Book Club. People reading books from around the world. 🌎🌍🌏 🙂 I've never done a buddy read with a fellow booktuber. You'd have to show me how this works 🤗 As for France...oui, mademoiselle. I can speak French, so I can help you out. ✌️😃

@@AlbertTheConjugator I'm gonna put some thought into that... there used to be a group I was a part of called Invisible Cities- it was a huge world wide group that read a country each month... they shut down last year. But I know there are tons of people out there with similar goals :)🌎📚

I'm so glad! I hope they hit your scary zone :)

Thank you for that - I didn't know that! I will put The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on my list- I've wanted to read it for years :)

I had so much fun with that one! Thank you. You do need a page for that!!

Welcome and thank you- I hope you enjoy middle grade books :) I love headbands :P

@@pageswithpostelwait9720 same girl! Then check out the ones I told you, you'll love them :))

I would love to hear what you read and what your thoughts on those!!

​@pageswithpostelwait9720 During banned book week, I read The Prince and the Dressmaker and loved it! The same with They Called Us Enemy. I also read Midnight in the Garden of God Evil, challenged in a ND school district for being pornographic - a drag quee does discuss how shes gets ready to perform, but that's about it. It was a good true crime book, but definitely for mature readers (I think my 16 yr old could read it). I also read A Court of Thorns and Roses. I'm not sure why it was sold as YA. I think new adult is a better category, but once again, depends in the reader. I've just started Damsel. My library did have it. I'll report back. I had the chance to get Monster at a library book sale, but didn't know what it was. I'll have to look out for it again. Looking forward to your next video!

@@mbbertram3605 Oh you are doing great!! New Adult and YA need to get their differences worked out... I think that would solve so many issues... I am gonna look for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil! Oh- can't wait to chat about Damsel LOL

@pageswithpostelwait9720 the audio of Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil is pretty good. The narrator did really well differentiating the Southern accents by class & race. Written in 1994 about a murder in Savanah, GA in the early 80's.

​@pageswithpostelwait9720 I finished Damsel. It was difficult and made me uncomfortable, but I'm glad I read it. I think? I was not expecting the ending. I'm glad she was able to free herself, but was the violence necessary? I'm sure I will be thinking about this one for a while.

Thank you- so agree, so many books I could point to that helped shape me as a reader and maybe weren't ones my folks knew anything about lol! At least we are all in good company fighting this good fight!

Hey Albert- I am thinking you are on to something- governments usually have a hand in book banning in a large portion of the countries around the world for all kinds of reasons... our freedom of speech right seems to put a damper on government interference here for now... key ominous music... 🎹🎹🎹 Currently the vast majority of these bans are citizens petitioning school districts and public libraries to censor or change locations for certain books... Wishing you some Happy Reading as well!! 📚

WOW! I am so sad your library doesn't participate! I understand the pushback but sad. I'm so excited you are gonna read this one!!

You can let me know if I am skibidi but this book is W Aura.

I don't know that I am skibidi but these books are FIRE with Sigma W Aura! You should read them :)

SOOOOO true! crazy right??

You will have to decide if I am skibidi or sigma but the characters in this book have mad rizz.

Thank you for sharing your support! We will absolutely keep resisting and read onward! :)

In class 😄

Glad you found me here- I'll guess in person to be safe! Did you see a book you might want to read?

Thank you!! Wishing you all a good school year as well!

Little hint period 3

@@bertazepeda3481 good hint! I think I know but I'll guess in class just to be safe :). Did you see a book you want to read?

I don't know

​@@pageswithpostelwait9720the first person you asked you where Correct 💯

Everyone who has read it has said it was cute so I hope your niece likes it!!

hello- welcome 📚

Well, my library doesn't have it. Shoot.

@@mbbertram3605 I found it on Libby if you have that through your library... I'm not sure if I want to recommend this one :) but I am looking at another of her books to give her one more try- it is a red riding hood off shoot and I am curious...

@@pageswithpostelwait9720 I've marked it as "notify me" on Libby for my library. I think they have her red riding hood one, I'll try that one.
