I refused to read Lilly and the Octopus because I knew it was going to be sad and my baby girl is a mini Dachshund. I finally got back into UA-cam and I am so glad tat you got back into reading last year. I am huge reader.
In August, I read: The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty The Only One Left by Riley Sager A book by musician Jeff Tweedy, a Cliff Burton biography, Alex Trebek's book and a mid-century Christmas book. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss ✨️📚✨️📚✨️📚✨️
I love the NYX & Beetlejuice collection! The packaging and the products are soooo cute and so on brand. I've played with it several times and can't wait to use it when the movie comes to theaters! Your look turned out so pretty! Love the blue and purple combo. Lily and the Octopus is on my TBR. I love animal stories, even those that make me cry.
A darker version of the plot of caraval (seemingly) came out recently. It’s called Phantasma by Kaylie smith. I love crowns of nyaxia! And no the one coming out isn’t the last. It’s a series of 3 duologies so it’s the 1st in the second duology.
This is my favorite series on the internet!! 🎉 I love it! I read the carival series after your review of book 2, and I loved it, too. I'm excited to get some new recommendations!
I absolutely love your style and all your videos! They’ve become the chill and rest part of the day ❤️ Im super excited for the beetlejuice movie and the nyx eyeshadow palette!! Where is your sweater from? Its the perfect shade of green 😍
I just finished reading Fable by Adrienne Young! It's about a girl who's father is the most powerful trader on the seas. He abandons her on an island and now 4 years later she's on a journey to escape the island to go find her father. They're not pirates but it's very pirate-like! I loved it and i can't wait to look for the sequel - Namesake - which is already out, just haven't got it yet! Definitely recommend it!
Lark's grandma was pretty awesome too. Little old ladies who pull no punches are the best. The mindf*ck series by S.T. Abby is also a serial killer story but it's connected to some really heinous small town crime cover up. Great very consumable storyline but also super dark.
This eye look is amazing! The blue/purple combo is spot on! Is there another purple that you know of as a single or from another palette that is close to this? (BBB Ultraviolet, CB Gothic, etc.?)
Currently I’m reading „Assistent to the villain“ and I absolutely love it! Highly recommend it. Before that I’ve read „long live evil“, which was also great. I also read „the very secret society of irregular witches“ recently, tbh this is my favorite book I’ve ever read. It’s soooo good and cozy! An absolute must read 🥰
If you want a romantic tragedy that will absolutely shatter you - Remember Us This Way by Sheridan Anne! I adored this book but please be warned, it broke me, I ugly cried during this book and when I finished it I had cried so much I had the worst headache that lasted all the next day 😅 Sheridan is an Aussie author and usually does dark romance. She is incredible!
Yay, I’m so early! I read Serpent Of The Wings of Night back in June and I enjoyed it so much. I’m so excited for the third book in November. I also read A Novel Love Story when it came out and I thought it was so cute as well. Love her writing so much. Right now I’m reading Kate Robb’s new romcom called Primetime Romance. I discovered her because you raved about This Spells Love and I absolutely loved that book. This one is so cute so far.
Definitely reading business casual this month! Did you see they announced the title of the new Emily Henry? Can’t wait! Best book last month was Wisteria! I highly recommend the Belladonna series by Adalyn Grace! She came to my indie bookstore and I got my books signed! She was so funny and kind
omg i have never heard about lilly and the octopus before, but as a wiener dog owner now im intrigued. i've been reading the creature feature books on amazon reading, theyre free little horror short stories by different popular horror authors and theyre actually so good. ankle snatcher by grady hendrix is my favourite of them so far, so short yet so effective. the pram is another one from that series that was really good.
I haven’t read it since it came out, but The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King is a quick, enjoyable, psychological thriller. It’s a good time of year to read it. I also love Tricia O’Malley’s Tequila series and other witchy series. 📖🍂
I read butcher n blackbird and loved it leather and lark fell flat for me❤😊 i will reread book 2 before book 3 it will be out next year i think i hope im wrong
@battybean is that gainsville address where i send something i found something that is so you and want to get n send as long as it's there next time I'm in town.
@@battybean well you have inspired me so much and you are so sweet and when I saw it I thought of you immediately! So better be there on my way to work I don't want it to sell out its small but perfect for your beauty room all I'm saying.🖤😊 🦇 🎃 🙀
I need to talk about the Ruinous Love Trilogy. I read both released books, and I need to tell someone my thoughts. Book 1 - really really enjoy Sloane. Sloane is the bad ass with a heart - but the sex in this book, to me is super gross. I know I should say the serial killing is the gross part but... 😶🌫 Is this what people are looking for in their spice? I told myself it makes sense for the characters so... it isn't like I am demanding censorship. Just, I feel like it needs to be mentioned. I still enjoyed the banter, the relationship and other action. I had to tell myself a few times to not be like "they're leaving dna evidence; it would be so easy for them to get caught at this point for their killings." 😅 Oh and, the bonus chapter was pretty funny. Book 2 - much cuter romance and the sex didn't feel like I was watching my straight ex bf's porn collection. Also I liked Lachlan as a character more than Rowan. (Rowan is kinda more little brother/golden retriever type male character.) Lachlan is a man who seems serious and scary but is actually just really bad at expressing himself due to his trauma. I couldn't fully get into Lark's head, but the way she thought no one could see through her when she was so obvious was a great trait and a perfect foil for Lachlan in my opinion. For both books: I prefer romances where the sex doesn't happen on first meet which these adhere to. BTW, I know I am super judgy about porn and spice, and I accept that.
it’s not really my style as far as the spice goes but it also isn’t a huge deal to me personally. i just skim it it’s not a scene i’m into haha. i feel like with both of these books though it’s all meant to be very over the top as far as the spice and the murder😂
Don't use any lash serums..have an eye doctor cousin. She explained why..something FDA something corrupt..then she talked about the why...but I had a migraine(reason was visiting) so yeh idr specifics... She seriously said it like 4 or 5 times, I'm like friend I am too lazy to even remember mascara. Avoid the serums
I really am liking the Korean formulas though...they layer well..more subtle look. But a pink brown? Cmon now But the "Erin Parsens mascara technique," UA-cam video went super viral. She explains how mascara Ads apply it
@@battybean oh yay I'm so glad like I already said I'm just very appreciative of you and you are a real sweetheart and since I didn't even mention give Zane a shout out for me and all the kitties a pet!💜🖤😊
@@battybean I hope maybe the mascara will hold a curl maybe its the tubing 1 that's why I asked if u tried it I love it. Never see u wear brown but what the heck!?💜💚🖤😊
Girl u never change and i think that's what I appreciate in my life currently that is going through a lot of change. I appreciate you ❤
i wish the best for you🖤
As always- love the book videos. This is my fav video of them month 🤗🖤
🥰🖤🖤 I’m so glad!
I refused to read Lilly and the Octopus because I knew it was going to be sad and my baby girl is a mini Dachshund. I finally got back into UA-cam and I am so glad tat you got back into reading last year. I am huge reader.
omg yeah i literally don’t think i could handle it if i had a weenie dog personally🥲
wow that cat plushie in your background is so adorable 🥹
I read The House Across The Lake in August. I loved it. Also I can't wait to play with my Beetlejuice palette soon. 💚💜🖤📚
In August, I read:
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty
The Only One Left by Riley Sager
A book by musician Jeff Tweedy, a Cliff Burton biography, Alex Trebek's book and a mid-century Christmas book.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
✨️📚✨️📚✨️📚✨️

it’s so sad but soooo well written!
I’ve used grande lash for years daily and I’ve never had any issues! I highly recommend it
Serpent and the Wings of Night is a duology for those characters. The next books are related to another couple/ character in the same world.
oooo love that!
A darker version of the plot of caraval (seemingly) came out recently. It’s called Phantasma by Kaylie smith.
I love crowns of nyaxia! And no the one coming out isn’t the last. It’s a series of 3 duologies so it’s the 1st in the second duology.
📚📙📕I have to try the chrome liner! Love these book reviews, have added a few of them to my wish list☺️
Loved leather and lark and crowns of nyaxia.
I read lily and the octopus on a plane, openly crying, eyes red n puffy. Beautiful book
omg yeah i would’ve made a scene on a plane hahaha i was inconsolable but it was so good🥲🖤
Currently I’m reading My Best Friend’s Exorcism on your recommendation and so far I absolutely love it!🦇
ahhh that one was so fun!
I really love Tami Hoag’s romance thriller novels. Highly recommend! ☺️
This is my favorite series on the internet!! 🎉 I love it!
I read the carival series after your review of book 2, and I loved it, too. I'm excited to get some new recommendations!
omg yay glad you like it!🥹

LOVED her grandma so much!
I’ve heard great things about that series!

I loooved very secret society last year! so excited for the next one coming soon!
@@battybean their is going to be a second book?! So excited for it!!! 😍
It’s not a direct sequel it’s just a new book from the same author! Same sort of name and cover tho so I’m excited!
If you want a romantic tragedy that will absolutely shatter you - Remember Us This Way by Sheridan Anne! I adored this book but please be warned, it broke me, I ugly cried during this book and when I finished it I had cried so much I had the worst headache that lasted all the next day 😅
Sheridan is an Aussie author and usually does dark romance. She is incredible!
oof good to know!🥲🥲
Yayyy for book chats! I love these videos so much. 🥰💜🦇✨
so glad!🥰🫶🏻
The Beetlejuice palette looks so good!!! How do the Nyx liners compare to the Colourpop multichrome creme gel liners? Do you think we need both?
I don’t have those actually! I am really enjoying these tho😁
@@battybean they look so good! Nyx did a good job on the whole collection. Also, I think you’d really love the colourpop liners too.

I bought Butcher and Blackbird but it’s in my TBR. I’m rereading the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. YA necromancers, it’s a really great series.
Ooo sounds interesting!!
