I will read the book this week. Thanks! 🌷 I'm a Travel Vlogger but reading books in a room with a cup of coffee is no less than a travel adventure. Book Lover ❤❤
I love this! Because of you I now have a book list! All on audio book due to busy life but I started with the favorite books you mentioned in the homeschooling video. Esperanza Rising, and A Long Walk to Water. Which I absolutely loved both! I’ve gotten my daughter ( turning 10 this week) into listening too and we listen together now to ones that are appropriate for her! We are in the middle of A Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I’d love to hear more non fiction books you have read with yours kiddos along with more videos like this!!! Thanks so much for your book also! I absolutely loved it and didn’t want it to end! You reading it in the audiobook made it even better!!!
What great books! I'm a sucker for non-fiction books. I probably listen to 100 audiobooks every year, because I just love learning. When I get interested in a topic, I devour everything I can find about it. Love the idea of the book club. There's just so much out there, and it's always great to have someone share their thoughts on a book before deciding if it's anything I would be interested in.
Kindred book spirit here! I just love your channel, Angela and hope you do more book club videos in the future! Some of my top favorites that I think you will also love: The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Bomb: The Race to Build and Steal the Worlds Most Dangerous Weapon, Pandora's Lunchbox: How Processed Food Took Over the American Meal, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters In the End, Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed American Forever, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup (this was my most recent read and it was SO crazy and good), and lastly Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan (this one is fictional but an amazing message that I really think you would love).
Thank you! I loved this! I tend to gravitate towards the same genre for awhile and then get burned out and don't want to read anymore, so I'm glad to have a variety of recommendations!
Amazing Idea, I'm teaching myself to read again! Was really into books for a while and then life caught up and now I'm trying to get back into a better balance and getting to read again and this came just in time!
Love this video. Please do this again. I used to read a lot of books but slipped into reading lots of fanfic as it's quicker and easier. Trying to get back into book reading. I challenged myself to read 12 - 24 paper books this year. I seem to be drawn more and more to non-fiction so this was so helpful for me. I don't have children but I'm lured in by balanced and barefoot, sounds really interesting.
I love this so much!! Thank you for your videos. I know this is a video on books, but I just love the rawness you give. I know this is only a glimpse into your life on youtube but I'm looking for my path and god always leads me to your videos and I've been looking into doing foster care so I am intrigued in all of your videos.
I love the book club idea! I just placed a hold for the ebook to read on my Kindle from my local library for "A Woman of No Importance" because it sounds so good!
Love all your videos, you are so well spoken and eloquent ✨ love the book club idea! Please pursue that idea! One idea/upgrade for a next book related video would be to organize the books you’re presenting, I don’t have children yet and love listening to you, but it would be nice to have them presented together so if needed people who are less interested in the parenting books can skip through that section and get to the other section of books you’re reviewing ✨
Hi Angela! Wanted to thank you for the great book you created, enjoyed it so much, I read it in two days!! Simply heartwarming and encouraging. A big THANK YOU from Germany! 🙂💗
Your sharing all the books you are reading is such an encouragement to me. I love reading but somehow I let it go upon becoming a homeschooling parent. I feel like all i read is Children's literature. Some of the books are still excellent but you have challenged me to make time for my own books and likes. Thanks Angie!
Thank you for this list!!! I often find book lists aren’t filled with things I like, but I feel like you’re my book twin! I want to read everything you recommend and am currently reading Annie Jacobson at your suggestion! Keep them coming :)
Thanks for sharing your recommendations and thoughts! I’m always looking for interesting new reading material. I tend to like nonfiction like you. My husband heard your comments while I was listening and wants to read some of these together- sounds fun!
I will definitely have to check out A Woman of No Importance and How to Raise a Wild Child. I loved Hillbilly Elegy. It was so illuminating for me with my mom's side of the family coming from the Appalachian mountains. My life could have been so different if they had not moved to Atlanta where I grew up. Great video!
i really like david mccullough books for history. the first i read was 1776. there is also a good one about the johnstown flood which is lesser known but tragic / fascinating. there are a lot of tie ins to well known people in history that you would never have expected to be involved.
I am definitely going to read “Half the Sky”. I have visited parts of Asia-developing nations like Vietnam, The Philippines, Nepal. I’ve seen the inequalities personally.
If you have Netflix, check out “Churchill’s Secret Agents, the Next Recruits. “. They reference the woman in A Woman of No Importance”. The realty series shows modern day folks going through the SOE training of WWII.
Girl you are an inspiration!! I like to read but struggle to find time. I am currently reading “The Secret Life of Bees” I will be checking out 2 of the books you mentioned
I've been listening to The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod and I have enjoyed it so far but I'm only about half way through. Its about getting up and being grateful and changing your life by changing your out look. I am excited to read some of these.
I am so happy that someone else feels the same way about self help books. I have so many friends that love them and I just don't feel that way...I love the book club idea!!!
Yay books! I'm so excited for the book club on the Love Without Borders page on FB :) As a booktube channel, I love when you talk about books! It always gives me good ideas for nonfiction :D
I wish so badly I could read like I used to. Much younger I literally lived with my nose in a book, it was my whole world. In high school I slowed down, and I literally haven't finished a book since leaving school. It makes me sad, but everytime I try, I just can't get through it, idk
After watching this I have no excuse with book reading anymore. I can hardly finish a book in a month, here you are with 8 kids reading a dozen books a month. Much love 💗
2 books that I think you will really enjoy are "Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know" by Malcolm Gladwell. It's hard to describe what this book is about, but I highly recommend listening to it as an audiobook. The other recommendation I have is really weird, but is a really good audiobook to listen to and it is called "Split Tooth" by Tanya Tagaq. Hear me out on this one. It is short and I would recommend doing a quick google search on the author herself, it will make it a little more understandable. PSA: Use headphones when listening to "Split Tooth"!!!
I’m exactly the same with true crime stuff! It’s been a couple of months since I’ve let myself read anything like that. Last month I’ve read; Educated by Tara Westover - one you may like!, Sapiens: A Brief History of Human kind, There There by Tommy Orange & Know My Name by Chanel Miller. So looking forward to these book videos! :)
Hi Angie!!! Before reading your book I read Open Book (Jessica Simpson's Book) and The Ride of a Lifetime (Bob Iger's Book) and loved them. I already put my review of your book on Amazon but I want you to know that its a beautiful book and I plan to read it again. Thank you for sharing. xoxo
I'm from the area in which hillbilly elegy is written about, I read the book as the freshman required. It was an interesting look into a place not to far away that yet felt so different from what I experience in my life. So local article have said that Ron Howard has been around to learn about the area in order to better represent the area on screen. I know I'll be in the theater shortly after it comes out.
I really enjoyed this video! A book club would be great. Also, your local library would be a super place to get any books you would prefer to read. My local library has most of the books I want, surprisingly. Mike Lindell's new book, "What Are The Odds," is very good.
“I Will Try” by Legson Kayira A true story about a man, penniless and passport-less walks across Africa determined to make it to America to escape poverty and earn freedom. I know you have a special love for Africa and Education. This book will definitely have you taking a deeper appreciation for the circumstances we’ve been brought up in, as well as a new attitude towards any challenges that you face. If Legson can walk across Africa to reach America, while not fully knowing the way there, then we can certainly atleast try to accomplish our goals. I’m only 4 chapters in and I’m hooked! Ps. Thanks for sharing these titles, very interested in all of them!
Oh my gosh!! U r my kind of girl!! Ha I want to read some of these books I'm the same way.. love true...real life stories that encourages & challenges us to be better..see the strengthen in others...so we can walk what God has for us.. He is so faithful..thank you for your faithfulness in what you are doing..You encourage me so much with your story..stay the course
Love that you’re doing book club posts!!! Always looking for a new book. Just finished A Polygamist’s Daughter. I’m listening to Hold Onto Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld and I’ve got The Sound of Gravel on deck! Loved your book also!
If you want more of Virginia Hill - The Wolves at the Door by Judith Pearson was fascinating and the book includes real photos of her which was great to tie it all together.
Have you looked into overdrive or Libby? You can borrow audio books from the library and don’t have to pay.... you just need a library card. Could save you tons of money.
Now I have a list of books to read ❤ I love that you are doing this book club. The most recent book that I read is The Total Money Makeover and I'm currently reading The Proximity Principle.
Unrelated to the video, but as a interior nerd I am, You should totally do a house tour, I am curious about the layout and the rooms and such. Btw your house always looks so clean and neat😍
I was laughing when you were talking about the impersonation of women on the audiobook. 😄 I love that you're sharing books you've read. Thanks for sharing!
I'm still working on Area 51 by Annie Jacobsen. Lol it's a slow read for me. It's been so nice out here on our farm, we've been outside so much we are just super tired. By time kiddos are all in bed and actually sleeping, I'd rather just sleep myself lol. I'm liking audiobooks lately. I can listen to those while washing dishes (I'm the dishwasher). Thinking I'm going to add audible back into the budget just so I can get back to reading (listening) to books!
Love this video! I am always looking for book recommendations and I am interested in everything you mentioned. I am with you on the self help books. I’ve started probably 4 and just couldn’t finish them. It seem like the same thing over and over again.
I know the point of this video wasn't your children, but if your looking for good history books for the kids, I can definitely recommend the My Story series. They are diaries from the perspective of people living through major historical events (e.g. The great plague). I don't know how readily available they are in the US, but my knowledge of history as an Australian Child came mostly from books like these. So I definitely recommend those if your looking :)
I read Being Mortal:Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande this month after hearing my husband rave about it for a year. It’s a great read no matter your time of life and such a great one to discuss!
Thanks for the list of books to read, I’ve already put 3 of them on hold in my elibrary. I’ve just read Just Mercy by by Bryan Anderson, very eye opening for me.
A great book on the Vietnam War is Dispatches by Michael Herr- he was a journalist covering the war and the book is just all of these stories and events he experienced in Vietnam. I read it for a class I took and I highly recommend it! He’s an amazing writer and some of the stories he tells are just crazy!
Don't know if you already addressed this but will you be commenting on the Myka and James Stauffer ordeal? I feel wounded by the whole thing. We didn't see a damaged child?? Medical needs?? He didn't have a teach or feeding tube he didn't even wear glasses. He was affectionate, followed direction, was signing etc. He has the intellect to know horrific rejection. How could they do this? Why?? You talk so much about the loss kids feel and go through. Please share your thoughts.
In terms of self help books, I think you’d like You Are The One by Kute Blackson. He talks a lot about becoming your best self so you can be better for others. Thanks for sharing your book reads - I enjoyed this!
Love this and am hoping for more books by BIPOC for the next roundup. I’ve been listening to how to be an Antiracist by Ibram x Kendi and yours is next on my audible “to listen.”
You are an amazing woman. How do you do it all? You are on top of your game with YT content, you are raising children who are love themselves, you look great, you homeschool, you refinish tables... I am single mom of one and I am drowning in unfinished tasks.
I read Hillbilly Elegy and thought it eye opening and am glad I read it. I just finished "A Saint on Death Row the Story of Dominique Green" not sure if you have read it or not. I'm listening to the audio book and have been captivated by this young man's story.
Your first book reminded me of one I read a few years ago that I loved. I remember staying up half the night just to finish it! It’s called Nancy Wake by Peter Fitzsimons.
I think you will really enjoy The Braid Book by Laetitia Colombani. Its a book that connects the stories of three women across cultures and is a book that your daughters will enjoy as well! Pretty short, easy read and well researched i think.
I love when you do these types of videos. I am just about done with Educated by Tara Westover.........WOW! What a recommendation that was. One of my all time favorite books.
I loved loved loved Catch and Kill so would recommend you get the physical book. It’s sensitive, exciting, terrifying reporting. For me, it was 100% worth it.
I love historical fiction books about WWII so I’m excited to read “A Woman of no Importance” it reminds me of “the Alice network” or “the nightingale” lol
Kristin Amin I too love historical fiction, especially WW2. I always seem to gravitate to that era. I just finished “The Nightingale”, I’m now reading “The Things We Cannot Say”.
I listened to Catch and Kill on audible and wasn't a fan of the voices either. I think it's an important read and I'm glad I finished it, but to be honest I don't remember everything from the book. But then came the Catch and Kill podcast!! It's ten 35-50minute episodes that include the people involved in the whole story. Ronan Farrow even has some people on the podcast who wouldn't comment while he was writing the book. Hearing from some of them first hand is...let's just say I recommend it.
My husband wrote a memoir last year about our family of five's experience with childhood cancer and my husband's resulting fitness transformation, from couch potato to marathoner: "No Match For Her" by Travis Lee Hicks. I'm biased, but it's a really good book!
Book club is a brilliant idea!
I love how broad your vocabulary is. For me you could run live shows on TV.
I love it too!
I am so glad you did this! I would love to see one on your favorite podcasts
Yes please do this Angie!
I will read the book this week. Thanks! 🌷 I'm a Travel Vlogger but reading books in a room with a cup of coffee is no less than a travel adventure. Book Lover ❤❤
WTH Angie. I was just looking for something to read. Well-timed as always. Lol

Please keep these videos going! I am not huge on fiction and I love the wide range you seem to read. 💜
Thank you! I loved this! I tend to gravitate towards the same genre for awhile and then get burned out and don't want to read anymore, so I'm glad to have a variety of recommendations!
Amazing Idea, I'm teaching myself to read again! Was really into books for a while and then life caught up and now I'm trying to get back into a better balance and getting to read again and this came just in time!
Loved this! Please keep doing these. Would love to hear one from June!
Love this video. Please do this again. I used to read a lot of books but slipped into reading lots of fanfic as it's quicker and easier. Trying to get back into book reading. I challenged myself to read 12 - 24 paper books this year. I seem to be drawn more and more to non-fiction so this was so helpful for me.
I don't have children but I'm lured in by balanced and barefoot, sounds really interesting.
Love your videos! You have given me lots of inspiration for my channel!! Thanks for doing what you do! 😍
I really appreciate this new content! Thank you for your opinions on these books!
Yesss, Book Club is a brilliant idea!!!! I love your videos, Angela!! And, believe it or not, I pray for you!!😄😄😄❤️🥰🤗
I love that you are doing this! Thank you! I am always looking for new non-fiction books to read.

Hi Angela! Wanted to thank you for the great book you created, enjoyed it so much, I read it in two days!! Simply heartwarming and encouraging. A big THANK YOU from Germany! 🙂💗
I loved Catch and Kill! I would definitely recommend getting the physical book because it is definitely worth finishing.
I agree!! Was gripping reading - such a shame the audio is so weird !! I would definitely be put off by all the different accents too!
Your sharing all the books you are reading is such an encouragement to me. I love reading but somehow I let it go upon becoming a homeschooling parent. I feel like all i read is Children's literature. Some of the books are still excellent but you have challenged me to make time for my own books and likes. Thanks Angie!
Very much enjoyed this video! I have not read many books since having children, but I would like to take more time to read.
I read Chaos this month too. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for this list!!! I often find book lists aren’t filled with things I like, but I feel like you’re my book twin! I want to read everything you recommend and am currently reading Annie Jacobson at your suggestion! Keep them coming :)
Love these videos! Can’t wait for more
Loved this book chat! Thanks for sharing! I'm impressed by how many books you got through in a month :)
Thanks for sharing your recommendations and thoughts! I’m always looking for interesting new reading material. I tend to like nonfiction like you. My husband heard your comments while I was listening and wants to read some of these together- sounds fun!

It was so illuminating for me with my mom's side of the family coming from the Appalachian mountains. My life could have been so different if they had not moved to Atlanta where I grew up. Great video!
I loooooove this! So excited for this series
i really like david mccullough books for history. the first i read was 1776. there is also a good one about the johnstown flood which is lesser known but tragic / fascinating. there are a lot of tie ins to well known people in history that you would never have expected to be involved.
Enjoyed your book choices and breakdowns. Would love more of these! Thanks so much.
I am definitely going to read “Half the Sky”. I have visited parts of Asia-developing nations like Vietnam, The Philippines, Nepal. I’ve seen the inequalities personally.
disappointed this isn't on audible
Audio books I liked: The Hiding Place, A Grown-up Guide to Dinosaurs, Mrs. Sherlock Holmes, and The Minuteman. All non fiction.
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who has Chaos lol excellent reading list!
I’m always looking for book suggestions! Loved this video. Loved your book, by the way!
If you have Netflix, check out “Churchill’s Secret Agents, the Next Recruits. “. They reference the woman in A Woman of No Importance”. The realty series shows modern day folks going through the SOE training of WWII.
Thanks for sharing! I'm a non-fiction buff too. And Atomic Habits changed my life!! Was so excited to see you mention it :)
Girl you are an inspiration!! I like to read but struggle to find time. I am currently reading “The Secret Life of Bees” I will be checking out 2 of the books you mentioned
I've been listening to The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod and I have enjoyed it so far but I'm only about half way through. Its about getting up and being grateful and changing your life by changing your out look. I am excited to read some of these.
I am so happy that someone else feels the same way about self help books. I have so many friends that love them and I just don't feel that way...I love the book club idea!!!
god bless you. im adopted. and my mom adopted 7 others and she had 3 of her own. most of us have needs/special. god bless god bless god bless.
Yay books! I'm so excited for the book club on the Love Without Borders page on FB :) As a booktube channel, I love when you talk about books! It always gives me good ideas for nonfiction :D
I wish so badly I could read like I used to. Much younger I literally lived with my nose in a book, it was my whole world. In high school I slowed down, and I literally haven't finished a book since leaving school. It makes me sad, but everytime I try, I just can't get through it, idk

There There by Tommy Orange
& Know My Name by Chanel Miller.
So looking forward to these book videos! :)
I’ve read educated, but know my name is on my list too!

“I Will Try” by Legson Kayira
A true story about a man, penniless and passport-less walks across Africa determined to make it to America to escape poverty and earn freedom. I know you have a special love for Africa and Education.

I am heading to our cabin for vacation so this is perfect timing! I think a Book Club would be fun. P.S. I just finished your book & I LOVED it!!
Unrelated to the video, but as a interior nerd I am, You should totally do a house tour, I am curious about the layout and the rooms and such. Btw your house always looks so clean and neat😍
Thanks so much for sharing! I love your book recommendations :)
I’m the same way about non-fiction vrs fiction! Love this!
I was laughing when you were talking about the impersonation of women on the audiobook. 😄 I love that you're sharing books you've read. Thanks for sharing!
I love books so this is perfect Angie. Thanks for all the recommendations.
You can return books on audible and get your credit back! As long as you do it within one year
Thank you so much for this video! A few picks I will have to put on the list for my high schooler and myself.
I'm still working on Area 51 by Annie Jacobsen. Lol it's a slow read for me. It's been so nice out here on our farm, we've been outside so much we are just super tired. By time kiddos are all in bed and actually sleeping, I'd rather just sleep myself lol. I'm liking audiobooks lately. I can listen to those while washing dishes (I'm the dishwasher). Thinking I'm going to add audible back into the budget just so I can get back to reading (listening) to books!
you'll love her audiobooks! Her voice is SO soothing!!!
@@angela.braniff I watched a UA-cam video of her explaining a couple of her books, it is very nice to listen to. She sounds very intelligent!!
Love this video! I am always looking for book recommendations and I am interested in everything you mentioned. I am with you on the self help books. I’ve started probably 4 and just couldn’t finish them. It seem like the same thing over and over again.
I loved Hillbilly Elegy! I read it in one day
Love this type of video! Thanks for the book recommendations!
So I added most of those books to my TBR.
I know the point of this video wasn't your children, but if your looking for good history books for the kids, I can definitely recommend the My Story series. They are diaries from the perspective of people living through major historical events (e.g. The great plague). I don't know how readily available they are in the US, but my knowledge of history as an Australian Child came mostly from books like these. So I definitely recommend those if your looking :)
I read Being Mortal:Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande this month after hearing my husband rave about it for a year. It’s a great read no matter your time of life and such a great one to discuss!
I clicked as soon as I saw half the sky in the thumbnail. Such a heartbreaking read that puts the real issues on the forefront
Thanks for the list of books to read, I’ve already put 3 of them on hold in my elibrary. I’ve just read Just Mercy by by Bryan Anderson, very eye opening for me.
Yes! Just Mercy is one of my favorites!
A great book on the Vietnam War is Dispatches by Michael Herr- he was a journalist covering the war and the book is just all of these stories and events he experienced in Vietnam.

I read Hillbilly Elegy and thought it eye opening and am glad I read it. I just finished "A Saint on Death Row the Story of Dominique Green" not sure if you have read it or not. I'm listening to the audio book and have been captivated by this young man's story.
Your first book reminded me of one I read a few years ago that I loved. I remember staying up half the night just to finish it! It’s called Nancy Wake by Peter Fitzsimons.
I think you will really enjoy The Braid Book by Laetitia Colombani. Its a book that connects the stories of three women across cultures and is a book that your daughters will enjoy as well! Pretty short, easy read and well researched i think.
I love when you do these types of videos. I am just about done with Educated by Tara Westover.........WOW! What a recommendation that was. One of my all time favorite books.
I just picked up The Tattooist of Auschwitz today, obviously I haven't finished it yet, but it seems right up your alley!
I loved loved loved Catch and Kill so would recommend you get the physical book. It’s sensitive, exciting, terrifying reporting. For me, it was 100% worth it.
I love historical fiction books about WWII so I’m excited to read “A Woman of no Importance” it reminds me of “the Alice network” or “the nightingale” lol
Kristin Amin I too love historical fiction, especially WW2. I always seem to gravitate to that era. I just finished “The Nightingale”, I’m now reading “The Things We Cannot Say”.
that's a lot of books...good for you!
Just curious as a mom of 5. What is your reading routine? When do you have time or make time in your day? I would love to read more myself.
Hillbilly Elegy was SO good! Have you read The Glass Castle?
Puuuleease do more of these “book club” type videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 at least 2 times a month? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰 sending hugs to you and your beautiful family 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I listened to Catch and Kill on audible and wasn't a fan of the voices either. I think it's an important read and I'm glad I finished it, but to be honest I don't remember everything from the book. But then came the Catch and Kill podcast!! It's ten 35-50minute episodes that include the people involved in the whole story. Ronan Farrow even has some people on the podcast who wouldn't comment while he was writing the book. Hearing from some of them first hand is...let's just say I recommend it.
I can watch you all day long without getting bored
Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots - Deborah Feldman
Found that book my freshman year of college while doing some research on arranged marriages and LOVED this book!
Love book club idea!
No Easy day by: Kevin Maurer
About finding and killing Bin Laden .
My husband wrote a memoir last year about our family of five's experience with childhood cancer and my husband's resulting fitness transformation, from couch potato to marathoner: "No Match For Her" by Travis Lee Hicks. I'm biased, but it's a really good book!
Lou Anne Hicks I will add that to my list. Sounds very interesting.
