- Hello everyone,
I thought I'd show you what books I picked up from Addyman Books and Richard Booths in Hay-on-wye. I also purchased a few gems from the Hay Antique Market too! ✨
I hope you guys are well and I'll speak to you in my next video!
P.S my replies to comments might be slow, on the day of filming, this many hours later I tested positive for the rona 😭 it was a huge shock and was rather unpleasant to experience the second time around. Luckily, I'm doing okay (ish) now ☺️ but it's still lurking around so I'm just trying to rest as much as I can.

I love how you have decorated your living room. You actually inspired me to get sheer white curtains in an older video, and I love them! My living room is also dark green too :)
Ahhhhh no way?! I love that so much! 🥰
It’s such a cosy and dark colour for a living space isn’t it
Brown Girls is amazing!! I hope you like it!!
So many great books 📚 Call Me By Your Name would be a great summer read & every season is a season for James Baldwin ❤
What a great haul and lovely to hear about the bookshops. You are going to fall hard for Call Me By Your Name! 🥰
Aww thanks Eric!
Ooooooooh this excites me very much! ☺️ I hope you’re doing well 🥰
Brown Girls sounds phenomenal....I'm adding it to my list
I loooove hay-on-wye! Also love that blush on you, you look so glowy ❤️
So so good! I would love to go back some day 🥰
Thank you so much!
I read I Who Have Never Known Men earlier this year and it will definitely be making my Top Reads of the Year list!
Call Me by Your Name is also an all time favourite, and Demon Copperhead was a top read for me last year so you've got some great reads in your future!
That plate is absolutely gorgeous! 😍
Ooo the cover of cherry is so fun
That star plate is gorgeous! 😍
I love your green walls ❤
Omg we must have similar taste in books I’ve just started reading i who have never known men and also currently listening to brown girls on audio! Xx
Love the new editing bits 😍✨
I've only recently heard about I Who Have Never Know Men but I'm so intrigued too! So funny how some older books resurface later and gain popularity! Quite excited to see it happening with a French book, it feels like it doesn't happen often 😃 (I'm obviously biased, being French myself)
Okay, so like always you look fab! Love this haul and those antiques are so pretty, they definitely fit your vibe. sending you so much good energy to feel better. Prioritize rest!
Awww thank you!!! 🥰
And I indeed am, luckily a lot of my Covid infection symptoms have gone now, but I’m still testing positive so I’m prioritising rest for sure! 💕
Birthday hauls are the best :)
I also thrifted Cherry and Brown Girls recently! Love James Baldwin. Love your videos. ❤
Thank you for posting another lovely video.
Thank you so much! 💕
Already feeling loads better thankfully ✨
@@NickellesNook I’m glad, that’s so good to hear. Looking forward to your next video already 🧡
Wow nice haul!! If you can't treat yourself for your birthday when can you? 😄 I love your dress!!
You’re so right! 💓✨
Thank you!
I love James Baldwin! I wrote my MA thesis on Giovanni's Room, not the book but the LGBTQ bookstore in Philadelphia named after it. It is the longest running LGBTQ bookstore in the US (and possibly the world) and has such a wonderful community history attached to it. I was there a few weeks ago during Philly Pride and it was amazing to see the store still so busy 51 years after its founding. It has connections with Gay's the Word in London too so if you're ever about in the city, it would be a great place to check out! Loving your videos as always, this one has put me in the summer mood! Thanks for sharing your bookstore adventures with us!
Oh wow!!!! That is so cool! This sounds amazing, I would love to visit one day.
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
You always have such good book recommendations✨ I‘m currently reading She Who Became The Sun with my queer book club and really enjoying it so far!
Oh and get well soon! Just read your caption, I hope you‘re feeling better
Ahh thank you so much! Wow, I just looked up that book, sounds very intense and emotional. I’m glad you’re enjoying it though ☺️
And yes, thankfully I’m all good now, thank you! 🙏🏾
I adored the film of Of Beale Street Could Talk. I haven't yet read the book. Sounds a bit similar to An American Marriage by Tayari Jones, which I also loved.
Call me by your name - book is brilliant, film is unforgettable.
Cherry sounds intense!! Cool to browse a book shop and buy things you've never heard of.
Love the antique pieces and also your grandmother in law's drawing! Xx
Omg it’s a film? How did I not know this?! Oooh An American marriage is also on my TBR as well.
Yeah definitely, it’s nice to just see what jumps out. ☺️
Aww thank you ✨ I hope you’re doing okay xx
got my cuppa ready ☕
Yassss!! ☕️🥰
i love your videos in every shade you are sharing! thank you for sharing your energy and honesty!
Thank you, that’s so sweet!! 💖
I’m currently reading Demon Copperhead and just wanted to let you know that the narrative style translates really well into an audiobook too if you want to give it a try. Makes the bulky book a bit less intimidating haha 😊
Ooooooh what a tip! Thank you, I will definitely be doing that for sure as it’s a bit of beast. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Aw yay (: I hope you had a lovely birthday❤
Awww thank you so much, I did thank you! 💖
Thanks for the support as always xx
@@NickellesNook Aw I’m so glad (: and I’m always happy to support ☺️
I read I Who Have Never Known Men last month… it is BRILLIANT. It is one of those books that will stay with me forever. Hope that you enjoy it 😊 and hope that you’re well lovely x
Ohhhh gosh!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, I must get around to reading it soon as I’ve been on the hunt for a true knock out 5 ⭐️book this year.
Thanks Michelle, all good here! Apart from another stint with Covid, thankfully I’m all recovered and feeling much better! I hope you’re doing okay! Not long now until schools out for summer 😂☀️ x
@@NickellesNook I wouldn’t say it’s an ‘enjoyable’ read, but I will probably keep thinking about it for the rest of my life ❤️
I also adore your style in clothing and accent (:
Aww thank you so much, you’re always so sweet! 💓
@@NickellesNook Aw of course, happy to be sweet to someone so sweet like you❤️
Unfortunately I found I who have never known men a little disappointing:( looking forward to your opinion on it!
Ohh nooo! That’s a shame!
Hopefully I can get round to it soon and share my thoughts ❤️
Love from South Africa ❤
Awww 🥰
Thank you
I was so disappointed with Find Me, the sequel to Call Me By Your Name. Elio and Oliver were hardly in it
Oh I really enjoyed it! Maybe because I didn’t read the first one and only watched the film? X
Oh noo that’s disappointing to hear!!
Call me by your name is great! The sequel is horrible!
