Spend a rainy day with me for this reading vlog! I spent my Sunday book shopping (again) and reading "Magnolia Parks" with a cup of coffee.

I also added three new titles to my #TBR. Let's be friends on Goodreads: www.goodreads.co...

Omg I haven’t been on here In a while I’m catching up on all my faves.
Such a great idea. I ordered shiny purple paper and eras tour stickers for my one I will buy 😀
Fantastic idea ❤😊
Cute mine is coverd with Acotar and Fourth Wing stickers....very cute!
I heard about this book on a podcast, where the author shared a little bit about their motivation for writing the book. It sounds really great!
watching!!
I think we have really similar reading tastes!!! So glad to have heard about your TBR. I'll check your channel to see your reviews of some of these picks. They are so great!
My stickers keep moving and I’m not sure what to do
The stickers are so cute and clever!
Mind = BLOWN! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I love your journal! The colors and galaxy theme carried well throughout. Good luck with your first journal!
Thats not calligraphy, jts just plain cursive. Calligraphy is more complicated unless you decide to do modern calligraphy. There are ppl on YT that teach howbto start with the basics. Loved the video ❤
The galaxy theme is so fantastic! I just posted my first BookTube video and this is my first year with a reading journal too. Good luck on your channel!
Awe congratulations on your first video and reading journal!
Good job on your first video! It’s a big feat! Proud of you for pushing through the nerves. 🤗
Free reading is the best!
It really is! I love the Libby app so much! I also have kindle unlimited which also has a lot of great titles!
@@arireadsstuff On my Libby I can put a book on hold and if I’m not ready to read it when my turn comes I can wait and still be next on the list ❤️
Green is the main color💀
Omg this was so cozy! I’m obsessed so happy I found your channel. Also I have heard such good things about Faebound, I need to check it out!
Everyone scared for their life Green: 🕺
Me picking what color should I wear:
Green over there still in character
Bahaha
Sometimes we just have genres we can’t stay away from 😂 what’s yours?
Omg this is so pretty! Okay I wish I could be this talented.
Awe thank you but I'm sure you are love! Pinterest always helps me find ideas
Love this! Silly question but how did you record this hands free?
I have an overhead tripod thingy lol, it's hard to describe but here's a link to one on amazon: amzn.to/4dv0w2R
Your spread turned out beautiful! I loved how the leafs turned out!
Thank you!!
Thanks for showing how to measure the paper.
of course!
It's so pretttttyyyy! 😍
Awe thank you so much!
Hi
I won’t lie. I read the free books. But the ones with a part 2 that you have to pay for gets me every time !!!
me too! It happens all the time!
So perfectly relaxing 🥰
Thank you!!
There’s nothing more that I love than a good rainy day book shopping! ☕️ When you said, “don’t trust a man who wears black vans” I literally hollered out loud 😂😂 if that is not the truest thing ever idk what is! lol I am also not a romance book girly or contemporary reader on most days so idk if I would actually read Magnolia Parks. Ok, I read Faebound last month and it was soooo good! I LOVED everything about it. The magic elements, the drama, the world building, the twists and turns! So good! I also have Fire Keepers Daughter but I’ve yet to read it. Great video! 🫶🏼
Ahhhh good to know you loved “Faebound”- makes me much more excited to read it!
Have any of you read “Faebound” or “The Firekeeper’s Daughter?” How did you like them?
Magnolia was ok, later books in the series are better
That’s good to know!
Hi Arielle! Fellow booktube newbie, who has lived with major depression and other issues my whole life. I appreciate you sharing, mental health is something really important to me and something I'd like to figure out how to work into my own channel, so I really appreciate seeing someone else sharing and mixing these 2 things as well. 💜
Thank you so much for sharing! We have so much in common! Can’t wait to see more of you and your story!
Thank you so much for sharing! We have so much in common! Can’t wait to see more of you and your story!
I haven't read Magnolia Parks yet, but I'm a little scared to because I've been burnt by popular TikTok books recently. Kennedy Ryan's Before I Let Go is a great read and the second book is great too. Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow was one of my favorite books of 2023. It was different than what I normally read and only read it because it was a book club pick but I ended up really enjoying it.
Okay, so I'm a little bit into "Magnolia Parks" and my honest opinion is that it's good but probably. a little over hyped. Probably still worth the read! And that's good to know about Kennedy Ryan because her books are so popular, I was wondering if I should actually read them!
i wish we had a target here :’)
I don’t know where you live, but you buy one get one 50% off table is fire. Ours never has anything good they only put one known/popular book and then the rest are kind of random so it forces you to choose when you may not be interested in just to get the popular one and get the deal.
Right?! I was honestly so surprised by the number of good books on that table! I'm located in MA and we don't have a ton of Barnes and Nobles left in the state.
Aww welcome to book tube! Im Adding you to a playlist on my page for black book tubers. I hope you find your tribe ❤
Thank you so much for watching and for welcoming me!
Your handwriting is EVERYTHINGGGG.
It takes me so many practice tries to get it right! Thank you!
Only 240 subs? This is some good content with solid editing you’ll be big in no time
Awe thank you!
I loved The Deep, I wish I had more of it. I’m reading That Time I Got Drunk next and I’m so excited! I’m not a huge romance reader, like you, I need my romance with a little something extra 😂
Ah let me know how you end up liking "That Time I Got Drunk!" I'm debating picking up the next book in the series.
I was thinking about going to a bookshop but, now im sure i have to
a bookshop visit is always needed lol!
Just a curious question: what is your favorite book?
This is such a hard question! I honestly don't know if I have an all time favorite book- I will say that I've been a fan of Holly Black's books (like "Tithe") since I was in middle school. Some favorites I've read recently include T. Kingfisher's "What Moves the Dead" and Jamison Shea's "I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me'
@@arireadsstuff Thanks for sharing
Welcome to booktube 📚☕
Thank you!
Hello my name is Christina and I'm new to your chancel and the books I'm reading are Hidden Picture's by Jason Rekulak Birthday Girl by Melissa Delacruz and Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas, The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks.
Hi Christina! Welcome! And thank you for being here and sharing your current reads!
Love the cozy vlog! I read The Deep last year and really enjoyed it as well gave it 4 stars ☺ So happy you got the tote! 💖I always end up being more than books when i go to a bookstore lol
Thanks so much for watching love! And I love a good tote bag, my goal is to get one from every (new) bookstore I visit
I also use Libby and Kindle Unlimited. I haven’t bought a book in ten years! And I’ve read every best seller that I wanted to read. The Kindle Unlimited monthly fee is less than the price of one book, so I don’t consider that buying a book. I love my kindle and read every single day.
Since getting my Kindle, I've definitely bought fewer books! There are SO many titles available via KU, it's definitely worth it!
I keep hearing about Magnolia park!! I need to actually get to reading it to see what the hype is about lol. I agree to see how large the following is for Magnolia is. Can't wait to see your reviews!
I haven't quite started it yet but am definitely interested to see what the hype is about lol! Thank you so much for watching!
I really want to read the magnolia parks series everyone says it’s so good
right? Literally everyone who reads it loves it!
Glad you got That Time I Got Drunk & Saved a Demon! It’s witty, and fun! Hope you enjoy it! Also love The Deep, it was so good! Haven’t read Magnolia Parks but I also hear everyone talk about it..idk if I would pick it up though. Curious to hear your thoughts when you read it. Great video! 🫶🏼
I definitely got "That Time I Got Drunk" once I saw you review it! "The Deep" is such a good book! I really love River Solomon. I'll def let you know what I think of Magnolia Parks <3
I absolutely loved Emily Wilde!! And also, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was my favorite book of 2023, definitely suggest that you read it 😀
I think you just convinced me to pick it up!
@@arireadsstuff Yay, please do!!
