Very cool! I’ve never seen your videos before but I’ve just started on booktube a few months ago and five years!!! Well done! Congratulations 😊 I love the community here as well!
Ah welcome to books and bargains!
Can't believe it's 5 years! Lots of love to you, your family and the cutest cats 😽🐱 meow! 💖

Congrats on 5 years! I loved the montage 😊
Thank you so much!

Happy booktube birthday from Australia 🇦🇺 📙
Ooo thank you!
Happy 5th book tube birthday! 🥳 Love your videos! I'm all for charity shops and books in a big way ❤❤
Yes! Thank you! Charity shops are THE one :)
Happy 5th booktube birthday Charlotte!🎉😊 Love your videos and can't wait for the read-athon in July! I've never done one before but gonna give it a go 🤪.... fave emoji 🥳
Thank you!! 😊 Its going to be a really chilled out one so no pressure!
Happy Booktube Birthday Books & Bargains! 🎉 definitely joining the readathon. My fave emoji has to be 🤦♀️
Yay! Thank you! That's a grand emoji! Something I do In real life A LOT :P
Happy Booktube Birthday 🎉🎉. I can't remember when I chanced upon your videos, but I'm so pleased that I did! Looking forward to giving the challenge a go 🐈🐈⬛🐶
Oh thank you! Yeah I feel like you've been here a long time though?
@@booksandbargains I have, I either found you through Victoria or the other way around lol
@@jop5547 we generally come as a pair 😜
Congrats on your booktube birthday! I read Small Fires by Rebecca May Johnson on your recommendation. 🥳
Ooo I hope you enjoyed it!
Congrats on the 5 years 🥂🍾🎉 … really enjoy your vlogs and book reviews 📚📚📚📚📚💘
Thank you so much!!
I’m always so in awe of the creativity and hard work that goes on behind the scenes, not just with stuff like that awesome montage Charlotte but also with readathons, prompts and giveaways - I see you, appreciate you, love you, and will do my absolute best to join in next month! here’s to the next 5 years, you legend ♥️
Ah thank you so much! I really enjoyed putting the montage together, just literally looking through my last 12 months and going, wow its been a real rollercoaster again but theres been so much joy :)
Happy 5th booktube birthday! I've been with you since around May 2022, when I first discovered booktube. I've watched pretty much all your backlist and always eagerly await the new vlogs. I'll definitely be joining you in July 😁
Woohoo! I am so excited to see what everyone picks to read!
I am so proud of you, so FREAKING happy you’re here and I can’t wait to read like you in July! That montage at the end made me well up! Love ya! ☺️💛
You're the best! I don't think I would still be here without having you to moan at!!
Happy 5th birthday!!!❤
Thank you lovely :)
An insta-buy vlog list sounds great. Loved the video.
Ah thank you, I will add it to my ideas list 💕
Your new copy of Hits Different is so pretty! It looks like a summer drink 🍹 Sorry to hear you're in extra pain just now. I hope it eases for you soon 💕
Thank you, it’s much better now! 😊
I feel like the pan flag has the best colours! Us aces are stuck with black, white grey and purple, which some might like but I find quite dull! 😂
I know I think out of all the flags the pan and lesbian ones have the prettier colours 😀
Completely agree, the asexual flag is rubbish x
you had a great reading month! so many positive reviews and strong star ratings, we love to see it ♥️
Thank you! I don’t have time for books I’m not enjoying so I usually DNF
so many of these plots sound wild! ♥️
I know right?? Absolute chaos.
Well I've added a few books to my TBR from this video!
I always aim to grow TBRS :P
i work at the esplanade, we do it better 100% of the time 😁
Ahhh it's a shame it wasn't open when we were there! Maybe next time :)
Adam Kay had earned his place in the pantheon of the British all-time greats by giving us London Underground Song.
I mean I can’t argue with that 😂
I was looking at the books in the supermarket the other day and making a mental note of which ones i would like to read. You've just reviewed three of them 🤣 Yay to the minus one 😁
Oooo you better go and get them then :P
@@booksandbargains 🤣
I have been looking at my ebooks on my nook app and ... sigh i find I'm not interested in any that are YA... and some i got super cheap, but only because they would fit a promt for a ReadAThon... but i haven't been participating in those lately... i got a bit of anxiety looking at them. 🫣 i wish i could gift them away... but its not like having a physical copy... so I'm not purchasing books anymore just because... I'm actually anxious about having spent money on something i didnt read and may not.😢 maybe if i make a shelf just for those... then try a chapter or 2... and if I DNf i wouldn't feel so bad. I'm being ridiculous, and overthinking! 😆 🤣 😂 A book for the nuerodivergent housekeeper!!! I think I need that!
My mind goes exactly like that at times!
I ended up defying Heidi swain 's new book and I usually love her writing. Gave up after about 150 or so pages. Far too predictable/far fetched for me. A shame, as I loved her most recent Christmas book, 'That festive feeling'
Ah that’s a shame! I really enjoyed it 😀
So lovely to see your face on a Saturday morning ☺️💛
I aim to please 🥰
A great video, really pleased you've bought balancing the books back. Definitely think I'm due a reread of The 24 Hour Cafe. I've had a bit of a slump reading wise in May, so will hopefully get back on track now x
Ah I hate slumps but hopefully you’ll pick up your next 5 star read soon ❤️
I have been seeing such good things about four eids and a funeral! I haven't read any lizzie huxley jones YET but I do want to read the christmas one of hers you mentioned at some point you mentioned. Things we do for love mentioning shakespeare had my interest piqued.
I just finished hits different and it was sooo good too! I’ll pick up anything she reads 😂
I'm really excited to read lots of these too! Queen B and Pity Party are two that I can't wait to read
Killjoy sounds really good and definitely something I want to read!
Its on borrow box as an audiobook if you have access to that :)
📖😎⛱️📚📚📚📚📚📚
Hi thanks for the review, did you find it difficult to get sun beds around the pool or was there plenty for everyone?
I think it will depend on when you go, when we went the first time in May there was plenty, but when we went in June it was a lot busier so we tended to stick to the beach sunbeds which were 3 euros a day
I hope you love everything that you managed to get to. You picked some fab books. Esp hope you enjoy the Hallett.
I hope so too!
Some fabulous books coming soon 😊 I'm particularly looking forward to the Ali McNamara. Yes her St Felix books are similar to Heidi Swain and Cressida McLaughlin where the same characters pop up, but you don't have to read them in order.
Thank you :)
You're a very bad influence as I've added a bunch of these to my wishlist 🫣🤣
I aim to please :)
I had to stop to say omg, a book including Ehlers Danlos syndrome, I am EXCITED. I bought Make You Mine This Christmas because you loved it so much, but I haven't read it. This is the condition I have and it affects everything and I've always felt it's so underestimated. I'm even more excited to read it now. Sorry I'm now going back in for all of the Sumner recs lol.
Haha that's ok! I hope you enjoy it :)
A really great video. Some interesting books, I like the sound of Such Charming Liars. I'm looking forward to The Fraud by Zadie Smith coming out in paperback next month x 📚
You know, I haven't read any Zadie Smith!
@@booksandbargains Me neither, but this sounds really good. I'm like you, prefer paperbacks
The Twyford Code is traaaaash 😂 but The Examiner sounds great!
YOU ARE TRASH :P just kidding you know I love you :)
Thank you so much for including Things We Do For Love and for your super-kind words about my books! I think you’re going to love Lucie and Theo! xx
You are so welcome! I cant wait to read it, might even take myself on a little adventure to pick it up on publication day :)
I love Ali McNamara I have read most of hers you don’t have to read them in order they are just based in the same place but they are such good reads and am so looking forward to her new book …. You should read Daisy darker by Alice feeney a good mystery 📚💛📚
I haven't read enough Ali McNamara! <3
I was going to suggest Daisy Darker too - I loved that book 😊
@@emmastinylibrary also Rock paper scissors by Alice feeney was good too 📖💕
@@wendyluvsbooks1580 I haven't read that one, thank you 🙂
Looking forward to the may book balance as I love those videos of yours, but do what works best for you <3 It's always a pleasant surprise when you discover a book is sapphic and you didn't expect it. So glad you're loving it and finding it to be a cosy fantasy that works for you more ^.^ I love that you filmed for a quiz show and I would love to watch it when it goes up (you'll have to tell us when!) I have homebody on my shelf waiting for me and I am really looking forward to reading it too.
Yay, thank you! Yeah I do miss just sitting and talking about some books. I keep saying to myself oh I need to vlog this, and then just sit in my pyjamas, or get distracted by something else so I miss the structure of getting ready to film a specific video!
