Loved this video! So fun to see so many different bookstores 📚 I really loved the one with the black shelves! But I do wish the pink building would have been a bookstore too because that would be so cute!
I read Blush last year it was fun! Nothing earth shattering but I really liked the concept of these three generations of women bonding over these books that the grandmother used to read in her book club and finding their own voices. Amazing scenery.
omg Sara you are in my hometown!! that bookstore did used to be on the other side of the street and they just added the coffee bar area!! I’m so glad u liked my cute lil town🩷
OMG YES ONE DAY TORE MY HEART TO SHREDS BUT I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND READING IT FIRST WATCHING THE MOVIE WITH ANNE HATHAWAY THEN THE SHOW ITS SUCH A SURREAL EXPERIENCE 💗💗💗
one day ripped my heart out i didn't consume the show IT CONSUMED ME. I'm not a huge crier but I sobbed the entirety of the last episode. I ended up crying for over an hour. so now I'm scared to read the book lol but the show was worth the pain in the end bc it was SO SO GOOD
LIVING for this video cause I’m from NJ and these are my spots I live closely to Manasquan, point and spring lake so those are my go to spots! I love taking my son to thunder road ❤ and I just checked out book house the other day it was so cute!
This was so fun and wholesome!! I love book shopping in local stores, I also try to do that whenever I travel because you just never know what to find! I’ve watched you for a while now and I just started my own Booktube channel, just letting you know that you’re a true inspiration 🩷🩷🩷
I really enjoyed watching your video! I gasped when you entered the first bookshop. We go there every summer. My family and I LOVE that town. It is our home away from home. Such good vibes. 💕
When your favorite booktuber visits your favorite book stores 😍😍 I also used to work at the coffee shop that you visited! It’s in my hometown! So glad you had a great time 💕
As a Jersey girl who works at an indie bookstore, I really enjoyed this video! I've visited one of the bookstores in this video but I rarely think to go to indie bookstores in my spare time for the most part but I definitely need to plan a trip now.
Love love love as usual ❤😍 I love browsing through bookstores even when I don't buy anything!!!! I have been watching your channel for so long and have been a reader forever and your channel literally inspired me to start my own!! Editing is so much harder than I realised haha! xoxox
i LOVE booktowne and little point bookshop! they’re both so close to me. little point bookshop moved to the bigger location across the street about a year ago!
Finlay Donavan !!!! Yes. I’ve read it and loved it. Funny , silly, mystery. Reminded me of the show Dead to Me. Hope you like it. Looked like a fun time overall!
I literally love you're videos so much! I just read the first 3 finlay Donovan books and i have to agree that the audiobooks are pretty entertaining! They are definitely some fun fast-paced reads!
Thank you for creating this video! As a New Jersey native that has really enjoyed creating store specific book hauls, I ate this video up with a spoon! I have visited, purchased books from, and filmed hauls for Booktowne and River Road Books and while they were smaller stores, I found some pretty good books from them. River Road Books was where I got my copy of He Wanted the Moon, which is one of my all-time favorite biographies. I used to like to visit The Cheese Cave when I was in that area, but they sadly closed down. I was at Little Point Book Shop back in January for a Silent Book Club meeting and I really want to visit Thunder Road Books at some point. The manager goes above and beyond to engage with the community and is filled with magnificent ideas. She was at that same Silent Book Club meeting as well. I have not visited The Book House, but a lot of new bookstores are popping up and I need to update my list. Have you been to The Book Garden in Cream Ridge? You HAVE to pay a visit to their store and include them if you ever do a book haul of this nature in the near future. They are an amazing used bookstore and the prices are remarkable! The owners are amazing as well! Second Time Books in Mt. Laurel is also a great bookstore. Cape May County is loaded with them, eight in total. There are so many great independent bookstores that I really like giving them my business if I am possibly able and then bring them attention. The books that you acquired that stuck out to me were Beartown and Adrienne Geffel. I have meant to read Fredrik Backman and in particular A Man Called Ove, but I never got around to doing so. I have heard of Daisy Jones and the Six and it was a nominee for our Roundtable Read, but I will have to keep an eye out for that and Adrienne Geffel. Blind Date with a Book is quite an interesting concept! I took part in a few of them and enjoy putting them together. There are so many ways to approach the cover, too. I need to hone my skills some with a proper execution, but I will get there. I want to see more videos of this nature! -Josh
i live in a pretty small town so i don’t have bookstores near me. the closest one is barnes 45 minutes away. i always wanted local bookstores close to me, so needless to say i loved watching this video!
So excited you got Beartown! I just read it and loved it (the first book I’ve given 5 stars in a very long time). It definitely deals with some heavier topics so be prepared for that, but it’s so good! And a wintery book so read it soon!
omg i was waiting for lauren to appear in this video!! i watched her vlog first and was hoping she would make an appearance in yours. my fav bestie duo❤️❤️
I read 'One Day' last year and finished the show yesterday, and they are both masterpieces. One of my favourite stories ever, and the adaptation from novel to miniseries has been done surprisingly well with all the key moments of the novel intact. I'm really looking forward to you reading it and getting your thoughts and review!
I went into A Little Life knowing it was a traumatic story, and that really helped me manage my expectations. I really enjoyed the book/characters. It’s just very raw and very real.
Yea you went to Booktowne. Love it. I didn’t get there as much as I wished but when I go I buy a lot. I get my favorite bookmarks from there, bought journals, tote bags. I got a book nerd baseball cap which I haven’t worn yet. I’m getting shore withdrawal. The second one if it’s where I think I almost put a request to check it out in the summer. Both the place in S.L and the one in point I want to check them out. I bought the little life months ago plus have ebook copy haven’t read it yet before I had copies tried library but gave up only because I wanted to read at right time.
SARA literally i am soooo glad that you realize and take time to bookshop!! so many people have forgotten how special the experience is ❤
This was so fun going to all the indie bookstores! I love going to local bookstores. You never know what kinds of books you're going to find🥰💖
Yess!! So fun
With the first store you got an ARC that’s so cool how did you find an ARC in a book store
OMG that quote in the first bookstore "A Room Without Books Is Like A Body Without A Soul". Is on the booksleeve i love most❤❤
Finlay Donovan is so good!!! The audiobook was amazing, the narrator made it so much better than it already is!!
I swear book shopping videos are like therapy ❤❤
Thank you for supporting small businesses! I personally find this much more enjoyable than a barnes haul 💞
Loved this video! So fun to see so many different bookstores 📚 I really loved the one with the black shelves! But I do wish the pink building would have been a bookstore too because that would be so cute!
Right! The pink building was adorable 😭
Love, love, love supporting an independent bookstore! 📚✨
Book shopping is sm fun! Love all the cute little book stores!
😊❤

One day is SOOO GOOD! I read each chapter and then immediately watched the corresponding episode and switched back and forth. Totally worth it!
I loved this video 💜 It is fun going to local bookstores and seeing what books they will have! They are each so different and unique.

Finlay Donovan and Invisible Girl are both great! You'll definitely enjoy them!
