Victoria Controls my TBR Part Two | Did she find me a new 5 Star Favourite? | Books and Bargains
Hello!

Things mentioned:
My very first UA-cam video: ua-cam.com/video/-JnD7r-_B6Y/v-deo.html
My microphone: www.amazon.co.uk/Microphones-Ligthening-Bluetooth-Microphone-Recording/dp/B0CRB2VFF7/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=yIfeQ&content-id=amzn1.sym.c2b75708-0716-4819-9879-054cb2b404ee%3Aamzn1.symc.adb93342-6ac2-461a-9cdb-1d06116dc6f6&pf_rd_p=c2b75708-0716-4819-9879-054cb2b404ee&pf_rd_r=QEZB6XZPEA12VW6BHA8N&pd_rd_wg=eobot&pd_rd_r=714432a4-163c-49e4-9ad6-9af48f94f6ef&ref_=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d

We went here 2022 and loved the whole10 days
Thank you for this video! Looking to book this trip for me and my partner this year and this is really informative :)
Ah enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing. I recently booked this holiday to gift my family for Christmas (we are going next year) and I am so excited. Enjoyed seeing it through your eyes. The reviews online was starting to make me worry but your vlog has put my mind at ease. Can’t wait now 🎉
Ah I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous time!
It's always interesting to see various perspectives. I'm a bit older than you and didn't find the prep bad at all. Apparently the fact I don't eat meat will always make it easier but I also don't eat heavy or rich food - a lot of Asian inspired meals involving rice and noodles with veg. I got a full night's sleep the day before and my prep was marked as "excellent". I declined sedation and it was absolutely fine - I have "extensive looping of the sigmoid colon" for which I needed to move around a bit but it wasn't painful. After a 800+ blood count in the FIT test, a significant family history and severe anemia I went in with an 80% change of being told I had cancer (I didn't know this going in, they told me after). However "pristine" was the outcome. Clean as a whistle. I'd recommend anyone to have it done for peace of mind.
I have since found out I have bile acid malabsorption which may be why I had such a bad time but the coldness I got seemed to be worse than the rest of it for me!
Wow! I enjoyed this so much, it's brilliant to see everything in one place. If you'd ever like to join together in a project to tackle our TBRs I'd love to partner up! x
Thank you so much! I am not sure what kind of direction my channel is going to go in, im having some health issues at the moment and it has slipped down the priorities list but feel free to send me a message maybe on instagram with any ideas :)
😻😻xx
Hi Charlotte , absolutely loved your video xx lots of love always xx❤❤❤❤ cats were so good and made me smile so much xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! <3
I had to pause and comment now at 1:17 because my sister got me that same heart shelf charm/ornament you have hanging there!
I forget all the little trinkets that I have on my shelves but it wouldn't be the same without them :)
You can absolutely do this! And I really like the sound of the rules you've got going and then being able to descale a bit more if you possibly can. And I like the sound of you really thinking about why you're keeping a book when you read it. I also try my best to really think about a book when I finish it and whether or not I truly want to keep it.
Thank you! Yeah that's what I really want to do, is to let more books go out into the world. Im not letting go of my rainbow shelves though :)
Love watching ur videos! Im reading helen fields luc callanach series after watching a previous video of urs. Just requested the 3rd book from the library and really enjoying them. I live not far from edinburgh which adds to my reading experience. In return, if youve not already read them i would recommend Shari lapena - unwanted guest thriller in a locked in setting. The girl behind the gates by brenda davies - historical medical - based on a true story of a 17 year old put in a mental institution in 1939 for being pregnant qnd unmarried. Please check trigger warnings tho xx
Ooo thank you for the recommendations! I am about to start book 6 of the lac callancah series and I would love to be reading it in Edinburgh!
Want to take my misses and 3 year old daughter there next year in September only issue for me is the price for this package is very steep compared to other ones so want to know if its worth the extra amount
We don’t have kids but we really liked that the room had a little kitchenette area and the kids club looked like there were activities all day and in the evenings but I couldn’t say if it was a good kids club
Thank you for the reply. Was the food nice each day at the restaurant? Was there good selection on food and drinks? Also was it easy to get to the beach and portaventura? Sorry for the all the questions thanks
@@Matthewbaker1991 yeah my brother is a really fussy eater and found something everyday there’s not a huge selection compared to some other all inclusive I’ve been to! I’d say the beach is about a 15 minute walk away and portavebtura about 30 minutes but we got a taxi the hotel booked them for us and it was about 10 euros and then we tended to have a slow walk back via the main shops. They don’t have branded soft drinks but the ones we had were alright and they had a few ice creams included in the all inclusive which was unusual! Oh and there’s branded soft drinks included in the restaurant in glass bottles ☺️
I love that you found a five star read by doing this! ♥️🌞
🌞 ❤😊
Amari & the Night Brothers is very good, I agree!! It was fun to see your best bookish pal pick influence your TBR 😊🌞❤
Thank you :)
I love this! So fun to hand over control of your tbr to someone else 😊 If you like medical vibe historical fiction, you might like The Wonder by Emma Donoghue, and The Ballroom by Anna Hope! Its a favourite genre of mine too.
Ah thank you :) I have read the wonder but Emma Donaghues writing style is a bit slow for me!
I have The Mad Woman's Ball on my shelf, so I need to get reading that. I'm like you and a paperback lover. Great vlog and great prompts from Victoria. I'm glad that you enjoyed The Dictionary of Lost Words x 🌞 💛
I think youll enjoy it Jo and its a short read :)
☀️
I loved doing this and I’m so glad you enjoyed the books! ☺️💛☀️
I'm so glad! Thank you for a pretty bloody good reading month :)
Loved this, I definitely need to find The Dictionary of Lost Words 😊
You should!
I’ve been watching Victoria’s channel for a while now and have heard her speak about you many times, so I can’t believe that I only started watching you channel last week. I’m interested in anything that helps people to reduce their tbr. It gives me hope 🌈☀️
Ahh lovely well welcome to Books and Bargains!
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
admire you so much for these goals, looking forward to cheering you on! 📚📚📚
Thank you so much!!
loved the cameos from Bert & Ernie, and your voiceover commentary on the cutaways ahahaha, so good! absolutely love a team effort 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Thanks so much!! I will have to get them involved again :)
📚📚📚
Hi! What month did you go? We’re thinking of going later in October and wondering what the weather is like. Also are you close to bars and shops?
Hiya we were there the beginning of October last year and from what I remember of the time the weather was good! It was in the 20s which is perfect and a few days I think hit the 30s! I’ve been to Salou a few times and they do get some rain and storms but we had them in June/September! From here your about a 10 minute walk from the main strip and most of the bars etc were still open ☺️ let me know if you want any more info!
The Ruth Ware books are good, though they all have the same formula... isolated closed circle mystery, unlikeable characters, lots of secrets. One by one was definitely the best of them.
Ooo I’ve now read one by one and really enjoyed it!
📖
📚📖
Yes, it's a lot of books, but that just means you have more choices. Just grab one and dig in. Please don't let this cause anxiety, fear, terror, etc. Just know you'll enjoy reading these lovely books for a long time to come. I can relate to chronic illness/pain and using my Kindle when I'm having a flare up. I don't like wrangling a (possibly) heavy and large physical book when my back is killing me. I love that you both have such reasonable plans and goals. I'm in awe of your number crunching, book buying rules, and life balance skills. You are in control, and you've got this! 📖
Thank you so much!! By looking more long term I am not feeling too worried, Its not having the large TBR thats the biggest problem, its the moving house in the future thats the biggest motivator! Were a month in and im still really excited by the project :)
Wow! These are some amazing, fun goals. Looking forward to the ride.📚
Thank you :)
📚 Having goals is always a good thing. Just be gentle on yourself ❤
Thank you I will do :)
It’s lots of fun seeing Victoria pick your TBR. Looks like you found an interesting mix of books.📚🐈🐈⬛😻❤
I did and I am so pleased with the dictionary of lost words :)
📚📚
🍂📚📚📚🍁🧡
Excellent 5yr plan. Huge incentive to save x
Absolutely!!
Totally resonate with the Christmas book thing! Ive got 7 that ive saved for November!
I love Christmas books!
📚📚
📚📚📚
This sounds like a great plan. I reckon you can definitely do it x 📚
Thank you 😘
Good luck! Sounds like a great plan. And having the goal of buying a house is a great incentive to stick to it!
Thank you 🙂↔️
I am 100% right there with you. My StoryGraph says I’m at 487 unread books. I am a very slow reader because my life is just super busy, so this number is wild for me. I also have one whole shelf devoted to Christmas because I love them SO much 😊
I’m so glad to have other Christmas lovers!!!! Feel free to join in with the shelf reduction ❤️🩹
📚📚📚
Good luck! I’m gonna be so invested on how this goes and the balancing of books and you’ll smash the other goals too!
Thank you! There should be a monthly balance video 🥰
📖 📕 ❤
Mexican Gothic would be a great pick for spooky season 📚
Thank you I’ll move it to the spooky shelf 😀
📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚
Love this, I wish you luck in your quest! Whenever I put myself on a book buying ban I seem to find myself in a bookshop or charity shop and can't resist. It's as though I think it will be my only chance in life to buy those particular books 🤣
Yeah I’m EXACTLY the same!! Which is why I think this slow and steady process might actually work and if I do go on a ban it will be shorter
@@booksandbargains do you ever look at your TBR and wonder why you wanted to read some of them? I love to unhaul from my TBR, it clears it a bit 🤣
Yeah but this time I thought yeah I want to read all of these!
I’ve been working on mine I have 10 books left to read took me 3 years I’m not buying books just reason my phone mainly but have a 100 on there
Oh wow that’s a pretty amazing TBR! I’m such a mood reader that I don’t think 19 would be for me!
Earthlings isn’t historical - it needs to be shelved under ‘WTF?!’ 😂
Yeah that was just kind of … shoved it somewhere! I might pack that to take with me!
📚
