Hailey in Bookland We understand don't worry too much about it. When I saw this up I dropped everything and started to watch. I love ur reading vlogs they r literally my life. U r the first book tuber I discovered. U motivate me to read and write more. Thank u so much for being u!
You are one of my favourite personalities ever. It doesn't matter if I have exams or my net's too slow, I have to watch your vlogs the moment they come out because your personality always cheers me up! Never listen to those haters, you are beautiful inside out (seriously, you're so pretty).
I relate so hard to your mum making your decisions for you because whenever I’m having a hard time deciding something she’s my go to. It’s so nice that you have a good relationship with your mum 💕💕
I have literally been writing since I was six (I'm seventeen now). I write poems songs plays and books. I get so self conscious about my writing. Especially since the only time I showed someone one of my plays I was twelve and my best friend pretty much ripped it apart. I haven't showed anyone my writing since, so I know what that's like.
Honestly Hailey I completely understand your want to hiatus of social media. I'm so distracted during the day because of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook so I uninstalled them all for like 2 weeks and I felt so much happier within myself that like I actually got into a better routine of living and sleeping day to day. But I missed them in the end so re-installed them but I'm thinking of like setting alarms or memos on my phone to remind me not to constantly just scroll through the feed to pass time when I could be doing something more productive like sleeping 😂 so yeah I totally understand your want to do that I'm just glad you don't hiatus on UA-cam because your weekly reading vlogs are amazing. I'm starting my own bullet journal and trying to focus more on reading like you 😊
It sounds like the royals is based in Scotland! Rothesay is an island off the west coast, I have spent lots of time there for days out as a child. The current Dutchess of Rothesay is Camilla. It seems it's being released with perfect timing as the royal wedding of Harry and Megan is in May.
Your struggles with writing a first draft while seeing so many finished products on social media is very relatable. I think we all do it, and it’s really not fair to our work so I’m glad you are taking a bit of a break from all of that.
Don't worry. Take as many breaks as you like because you could end up speechless( not wanted). I feel like everyone needs a little bit of time to plan and work out what you really want to film. Fight against hard things. ❤️ Your channel.
Relate so much to the pressure of completing the first draft and comparing to finished works. Is my plot twist too obvious? Is the pacing too choppy? Have I showcased this charcter too much or not enough? Are the relationships shown properly? Is this info dumpy? Have I spent too many words on setting or dialogue or inner thoughts? I think you're making the right choice. I restarted my writing project at 30000 words. Thankfully i can reuse most of what I wrote, but I changed to a multi perspective story cause too many important characters were separated for too long period. Its a good choice for me, but it kills me that I havent finished my first draft yet. And im back to my outline.
you're making me want to go shopping! I also agree about getting frustrated with writing when everyone seems to be announcing their book and you start overthinking your first draft and agh.
I'm currently reading To Kill A Kingdom on audio as well! I'm only about 6 chapters in but I love it already! I hope you enjoy your break from social media. I know how addicting it can be so I wish you nothing but happiness as you pursue your dream!
I watch your vlogs and I get so excited when you talk about your novel! I love seeing your process and I can't wait to read your novel! I'm so excited for you :D
I have this app called, “Forest.” And it goes up to two hours, and you basically set up a time for yourself. So, you’re growing a tree and you can not leave the app because the tree you’re growing will die. So, that has actually helped me as well.
Hailey I cannot wait to read your book. Take your time and relax as much as you can! I admire what you're doing. I would love to write my own book and don't even know where to start
Another great video. Don’t worry that it was a little late, you put a lot of effort into your videos that people don’t mind waiting! Also, good luck with your writing :)
I’m currently working on the first draft of my novel as well, and I can 100% relate to the social media thing. I find myself constantly reading reviews and wondering if the things people are bothered by in someone else’s book are in my story and how to edit it out, etc. It’s so exhausting, but knowing that it’s only the first draft definitely helps. Nothing is set in stone and anything you decide to change later, you can. I hope your writing is going well. 💜
I'm not sure if you've talked about this before, but could you make a video about your writing process or how to start writing? I have many ideas of stories i'd like to write, but idk how to start, especially ones that are more complex. Do you just write it all down? Do you brainstorm? What was your initial experience like?
Along for the Ride is my favorite Sarah Dessen! It's such a cute read. If you end up liking it, you should definitely read Saint Anything by her! As always, love your videos :)
OMG HEY, Harry Mulisch! A Dutch writer. Have you ever read translated Dutch classics before? The Discovery of Heaven is definitely a staple in Dutch literature, along with one of his other books, The Assault. You should definitely pick that one up as well, as it takes place in The Netherlands during WWII, which I know you love.
Yes Sarah Dessen! I love her but never hear ab her books on BookTube :( highly reccommend What Happened to Goodbye and Saint Anything by her - my favs 💕
I just looked up the price of an XL Tim Horton's coffee, converted the price, and am totally astounded right now. You only pay around $3NZD for a huuuge one. In New Zealand, normally a small coffee is $3-$4, and I'm not even sure if we have XL. Large is usually around $5.50 or $6. It's mental.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my fave classics of all time, you should read it😊. And also I'm currently reading One of Us is Lying with my friend, liking it so far!
Ohhh Harry Mulisch's books are so difficult to read. He is Dutch and I read the original Dutch version and to be honest, I didn't like it (it was huge, very descriptive, and a bit boring) and I usually love books about WWII! I hope you like it better than I did! Although, I have to admit, this book is seen as one of the best written Dutch books of all times and won several awards! By the way, you pronounce his name like the "MU-sound" in "Mulan". :)
I LOVED Ready Player One even though it was almost totally different to the book. I thought they did a really good job as it's such a hard book to transfer to screen. What did you end up thinking Hailey?
Hey Hailey! I know you mentioned in a video or on twitter quite awhile ago that you didnt have your license. I was wondering if you got it (since you go to tim hortons a lot 😂😂) or if you take public transit? Loved this reading vlog 💕
Hi Hailey! Artemisia Gentileschi it's pronounced Gentileski like ski the sport ( she was an Italian, painter and all around a badass renaissance woman!)bye ^^
I just finished listening to the audiobook of to kill a kingdom and I absolutely loved it, I think the audiobook was a great choice for the book and I usually hate audiobooks
Hailey, where did you get your work shoes from? I remember that you mentioned in a previous vlog that you were looking for comfortable, black shoes to wear to work and I remember that you ordered & unboxed a pair on camera, but where did you buy them from? Sorry for such a random question. Lol. 😅
I live in Australia and wanted to see how much it would cost to get a book from Indigo (exchange rate is basically the same as Canada). I found a book for $6 which is a great price and then the shipping costs $40.75 😂😂
Unrelated to books question, but please, how do you manage to keep those beautiful natural curls throught the night? In the last clip, your hair looks amazing (as always)! Also, do you straighten your hair yourself? With a straightening iron? Thanks in advance!!
Sorry this is late, I was focusing on other things and needed a little break. Thanks for your patience!
Hailey in Bookland don’t worry for that, take time when you need it, we prefer you healthy than on time :)
I gave the young elites a five out of five stars I loved it!!!
Hailey in Bookland We understand don't worry too much about it. When I saw this up I dropped everything and started to watch. I love ur reading vlogs they r literally my life. U r the first book tuber I discovered. U motivate me to read and write more. Thank u so much for being u!
We understand ❤️ I love your reading vlogs! Look forward to them every week!
To be honest with it being Easter weekend I expected it to be late. You have a family and a life outside UA-cam. No worries. Glad you're doing well!!

Along for the Ride was my first Sarah Dessen book my grandpa got it for me and since then I’ve collected 7 of her books. I hope you like it!
whenever i’m in a reading slump i watch your videos and i’m encouraged to pick up a book

If you like circus-themed books, you should read 'Walking on Air' by Eva Ibbotson. It's middle grade but it's really good.
I'm currently reading To Kill A Kingdom on audio as well! I'm only about 6 chapters in but I love it already! I hope you enjoy your break from social media. I know how addicting it can be so I wish you nothing but happiness as you pursue your dream!
I watch your vlogs and I get so excited when you talk about your novel! I love seeing your process and I can't wait to read your novel! I'm so excited for you :D
Sleight looks and sounds so intriguing!
Holy moly you got sooo many packages haha!
I have this app called, “Forest.” And it goes up to two hours, and you basically set up a time for yourself. So, you’re growing a tree and you can not leave the app because the tree you’re growing will die. So, that has actually helped me as well.
The whole time I was watching this I was like “please mention the cute mailman, please mention the cute mailman” 😂
Hailey I cannot wait to read your book. Take your time and relax as much as you can!
I admire what you're doing. I would love to write my own book and don't even know where to start
Hailey! Can you do a video or add a short clip of how you set up your props for bookstagram photos. Im freakin curious😂
Another great video. Don’t worry that it was a little late, you put a lot of effort into your videos that people don’t mind waiting! Also, good luck with your writing :)
Would love to hear how the coffee tumblers turned out. Definitely interested in picking one up.
One of us is Lying is a really good book and u will not expect the ending of it📚❤️
I got the same Indigo brand purse you got but in the blue colour! I've had it since they were first released and LOVE it! It's a great size!
definitely my favorite vlog you’ve made in all of 2018
'A Tree Grows In Brooklyn' is my favourite book of all-time! Nice to see it on a BookTube video. 💕
I’m currently working on the first draft of my novel as well, and I can 100% relate to the social media thing.

Hi Hailey. Glad to see you again. Can’t believe it’s April already . Good books you have there. Have a good week. Xx🌹🌹
Not gonna lie, unboxings are probably one of my favourite parts of your vlogs, so I'm not complaining... I really enjoyed To Kill A Kingdom!
Thanks for another amazing reading vlog 💖 I look forward to this every damn week, you’re my absolute favourite 💕
Along for the Ride is my favorite Sarah Dessen! It's such a cute read. If you end up liking it, you should definitely read Saint Anything by her! As always, love your videos :)
Dreamland is my favorite Sarah Dessen book

My first video I've watched of yours and I am hooked. Love your personality :D
Subbed, and now I'm going to binge watch your videos XD
The god of small things by Arundhati Roy. I read it for my semester. Loved it. Hope you enjoy it too.
Hailey can you please do a video about books that helped you learning how to write ? thanks in advance
I was so afraid this wasn't going to be posted, and am now so glad it was! I love your reading vlogs!
along for the ride is really good!
I watched Ready Player One on 3 April. Loved it!
Yes Sarah Dessen! I love her but never hear ab her books on BookTube :( highly reccommend What Happened to Goodbye and Saint Anything by her - my favs 💕

I just have to say I died that you compared the thermoses to how much Timmy's they would hold. I miss my Canadian Timmy's!
I love all of the unboxings :D
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my fave classics of all time, you should read it😊.
And also I'm currently reading One of Us is Lying with my friend, liking it so far!
Hailey do you think you would ever open a po box??
Always like it before watching.
CAN'T wait to read Ace of Shades!!
Literally three books in a row were books I had to read in university--The God of Small Things, Things Fall Apart, and Persepolis
I haven't watched any unboxing videos because been waiting for your video finally! !!
One of us is lying is one of my new favourite books, OMG!
Ohhh Harry Mulisch's books are so difficult to read. He is Dutch and I read the original Dutch version and to be honest, I didn't like it (it was huge, very descriptive, and a bit boring) and I usually love books about WWII! I hope you like it better than I did! Although, I have to admit, this book is seen as one of the best written Dutch books of all times and won several awards!

I wish she would have a giveaway that was open to the U.S.

Hey Hailey! I know you mentioned in a video or on twitter quite awhile ago that you didnt have your license. I was wondering if you got it (since you go to tim hortons a lot 😂😂) or if you take public transit? Loved this reading vlog 💕

When do you think your book will come out I dont even know that much about it but I still want to read cus I know you will write an amazing book
I just finished listening to the audiobook of to kill a kingdom and I absolutely loved it, I think the audiobook was a great choice for the book and I usually hate audiobooks
Hailey- "Its like 900 millimeters"
Me- "IS THAT BIG!? I ONLY KNOW OUNCES!"
Madison Peck 250mL = 1 cup so 900mL is not gigantic, but it’s pretty big (close to 1L, so about half of a big soda bottle)
Thank you 😊
A two liter soda bottle?! I don't believe i've ever seen that holy moly. We only have liters or 1.5 liters
Madison Peck You’re welcome 😉
Madison Peck Omg that’s so weird x) we have 2L and 1L, but not 1.5
It's only 266 days till Christmas. Okay yeah that is pretty far away.
I love your channel and you so much, I decided to write a book about a youtuber that does the same stuff as you!
Where did you get your bookshelfs??? I jus love how you have it organized by color.
Nm Ikea found it in the description. Lol.... Love your vlogs.
Love thee viddd💙❤️
Hailey, where did you get your work shoes from? I remember that you mentioned in a previous vlog that you were looking for comfortable, black shoes to wear to work and I remember that you ordered & unboxed a pair on camera, but where did you buy them from? Sorry for such a random question. Lol. 😅
I literally crossed my fingers when you did, lol
I love Alanna by Tamora Pierce!
Ace of shades is a series?
I live in Australia and wanted to see how much it would cost to get a book from Indigo (exchange rate is basically the same as Canada). I found a book for $6 which is a great price and then the shipping costs $40.75 😂😂
I thought I was the only one only buys purses that will fit a book in.🙃👜📚
I just realized my birthday is the day before yours! Mine is November 29th, 1995!
The sticker on the Children of Blood and Bone is not indigo sticker standard! #indigonerd #indigoemployee
You're adorable.
Unrelated to books question, but please, how do you manage to keep those beautiful natural curls throught the night? In the last clip, your hair looks amazing (as always)! Also, do you straighten your hair yourself? With a straightening iron? Thanks in advance!!
Would you please suggest a cheaper online book shop in canada?
Is it expensive to order from chapters indigo?
I live in the states.
When is Christmas for Canada?
