Hello everyone and welcome to another vlog! I recently went out onto instagram and asked what types of videos people would like to see more of from me, and a lot of you said a readathon! Look, I tried to read quite a bit during this day in my life vlog... however, I feel like I read less than I would normally read on a good reading day hahah
In the end, I read over 100k words, which is not terrible! But for a readathon vlog I feel like it's a bit of a fizzled attempt. Next time I try a reading challenge I'll definitely try to do it on a quieter day, so I can read as many books as possible. Regardless, I hope you guys like this reading vlog. Take care and enormous love 💛

Good luck with your blood test and the tax man and your reading 📖 love your amazing channel please stay safe love your Australia fan John
I liked that this ‘readathon’ video was way more realistic than other readathon contents on Booktube. As much as I watch those videos for cosy vibes and escapism, it’s pretty impossible for me to have a whole 24 hours reserved only for reading as I’m living with a partner and also trying to live a working adult’s life. This video was so needed 😭
Woah I'm really early today. Taking the opportunity to drop by and say, Christy, your videos really light up my world. I'm a book lover and a very introverted person, I hate chaos. It's so hard to find a good channel nowadays on UA-cam where there's not a lot going in at once. But your channel, is such a peaceful place! Perfect sanctuary for people like me! Thank you for making such amazing videos, Christy, you are a beautiful human being. Have a good day love 💗🥺 sending u all the good wishes and vibes in the world ✨ 🌱
Check out * e m m i e * her channel is so good and relaxing too
Awwwwwwh thank you so much, Adrita 💛💛💛💛💛
I whole-heartedly agree with @Rasha Aya about * e m m i e * too. Btwn her and Christy, their demeanor and the way they edit their videos, you'll have what you need. I know what you mean about chaotic videos. A content creator can make very insightful and compelling content, but if the camera, the editing, the scenery, or the sound is frenzied or too abrupt, it's not a good time.
I agree, Christy's videos are so lovely🤗 you should also check out Morgan Long on youtube, she also makes lovely and peaceful videos😊
Strange Weather in Tokyo is one of my favorite books of all time. Until now, I still remember exactly how I felt reading it ♥️
The old man and the sea, it's one of those works of Hemingway that I ended loving it, that one is a master piece of his and is also very short.
We would appreciate an updated bookshelf tour, your book colection looks lovely 📚🌸💫
1 serving of gf pancakes: 3/4 c of oats (blend into oat flour), 1 banana, pinch salt, 1/8 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4-1/2 cup water. Blend all ingredients in a blender, cook like pancakes
Oooh thank you for the recipe 💛💛
Just think of it this way: You didn't make pancakes. You made crepes!
So happy to see your video on a Sunday night. Its like a warm blanket to snuggle under before the brutality of Monday kicks in. Thank you so much for doing this! Love, love and a lot more love to you, Christy Anne Jones!❤️
I loved Strange weather in Tokyo. It was a special time when I read it.
It's a lovely book 💛💛
Absolutely adore hearing you talk about books and just generally watching you go about your day! I'm off to rewatch all of your old vids too now. Hazzah!
Such a cozy, comforting video 💗 Thank you so much, Christy.
I just read the waltz of an autumn witch and I absolutely loved it!!! Your words are so enchanting and lovely to read! This channel has been my solace for the past few weeks!🥰🥰🥰
I always look forward to your vlogs, so nice and calming
Your videos bring me joy and peace, thank you for sharing your life and books with us. I’m going to read lonely castle in the mirror soon! I can escape into your reality so easily 😊
You did so well! I really enjoyed strange weather in Tokyo. I've never read Hemingway. My work colleague has leant me a book called Mrs Hemingway, which is written from the perspectives of all of his wives - my colleague also said that he seems unpleasant!
The ginger that you bought - if you put it in the freezer, you can grate the amount you need for recipes then put it back in the freezer again, so you don't have to worry about using it quickly 😊
This is the coziest vlog 😍😍😍😍
💛💛
Can I just say you putting bananas on your pancakes has inspired me to try it, and it's amazing! I'll never look back :)
Around this time every week I always always check if there are any notifications coming from your Instagram about a new video❤️🙃☺️☺️🥰 I am so happy. I've already read some of the books you recommended. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Donna 💛💛
"A Moveable Feast" really isn't the best place to start with Hemingway. His novels are much more pleasant reads. I would recommend "The Old Man and the Sea" or "The Sun Also Rises". "The Old Man and the Sea" has especially good writing.
Depends on the person. I loved Moveable Feast and I find his other work very boring although not bad in literary terms if that makes sense.
@@CMri I love A Moveable Feast as well. I just think that if you're going to start reading Hemingway it's better to start with his fiction.
Sun also rises was a waste of time to read
Discovering your channel is the best thing happened this month so far.
Your videos have become my most favourite!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! 💛
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this video💛💛 take care of yourself.
Thank you so much for being here 💛
Ha, I've never read Hemingway but I kind of love Ron Swanson so now I want to give Hemmingway a try!
Ahhhh look who it is! My favourite person!!! Christy I love your videos!!!! The ambience is so calming!!! ✨♥️
You are such an inspiration for me! Your channel is impeccable.😊❤
💛💛💛
This is why i love SUNDAYS ✨
Really needed your video today
Just here to say that I love your videos ever so much!❤
Now I’m inspired to read a whole bunch😁♥️
I read Strange Weather in Tokyo earlier this year and I really enjoyed it!
Such great results for one day of reading actually!
One of my comfort area❤️❤️❤️
💛💛
I just went gluten free like a week ago!! I had my celiac testing and it came back negative. But I feel so much better without it, so I’ll just remain gluten free except for sparse treats I suppose. Wishing you gluten free luck! lol
I tried strange weather in Tokyo and was put off by how rude our protagonist was to sensei, and sensei was a bit odd too. (I don’t remember protagonist’s name). I DNF’d at only like 25%. I’ll pick it up again! I liked being in Tokyo again, if only just in my mind.
Definitely picking up the Hemingway book! It’ll be my first Hemingway!
Thank you for the vlog as always!
I'm so glad you're feeling better!! I'm not celiac either, but I'm thinking of just overall reducing gluten?> I think I feel better with less of it in my diet. Happy reading 😀💛💛
You could be sensitive to wheat! I believe I am since I eliminated wheat and then tested one slice of bread and was bed bound for a day and a half after. But I have no problem with gluten in for example soy sauce.
Interrupting my video-watching session just to say - I have the same messenger penguin! 😍 hahahah just needed to say that. Thank you for your cosy vlogs as always 💛
I don't comment on here a lot, but your videos are always so calming and relaxing to watch! If you like modernism and gothic lit, you might enjoy Karen Blixen. Her stuff is like a modernist take the Thousand and One Nights, and she has some pretty interesting and specific ideas.
Your videos are so wholesome..❤🌈💫💜
I'm so glad you like them 💛💛
This was lovely!
So I happened upon this video and as I was enjoying it my cat must’ve enjoyed it too because I’m not even joking when I tell you that he hit the subscribe button with his paw
😭💛💛
💛
💛💛
You are paradisiacal!❤😊
💛💛
i love Ron Swanson 😂
I completed my readathon yesterday. I finished reading two books
😍
💛
That cardigan is absolutely gorgeous, where is it from? ^-^
oh! have you read Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones? they’re the sequels/spinoffs to Howl’s Moving Castle :)
I love this video! =)
I like books but don't punish me if I focus more on food😂
I love filming food!! So i'm glad you enjoy it 😊
you made crepes 😆 I appreciate this video so much
Wow...... ♥️
💛💛
When someone without kids makes a Day In the Life Vlog…literally forgot what I used to do before kids. Oh right.
how long is a day in Australia? it must have more than 24hs! don't know how you managed to do all those things AND read two short books. well done, you. The thing with a moveable feast is... that they are like random stories about his life in the 1920s but there's no structure, no rhyme or reason, he doesn't introduce characters much, you just have to guess most of the time. And yes, he comes off as a rude, bully guy. Because he was haha. And it was the 1920s after all. That's his view of the lost generation whilst being a part of it. However, there's this other book "Sylvia Beach and the lost generation", written by Noel Riley Fitch, focused mainly on Beach but also around all those characters that were around her bookshop. Quite a long book about the era so you might want to look it up. xx
I uses to love reading as child into my world adulthood but these days I can't sit still and concentrate for more than half an hour...ADHD maybe lol
It's really challenging sometimes! I struggle with concentration D: Short, fast books are helpful 💛
too much stimulation maybe, i find i end up reading continuously for hours only when im forced to be completely offline due to thunderstorms 😁!
maybe you can try lighter stuff like manga or webnovels? and most short stories are doable in 30min, or i don't know if the free Serial Reader app still exists but it's great for reading classics, it breaks every book down into 15-20 min segments for daily reading.
@@christy-anne-jones :S I thought I was the only one. I really want to dog into a book and finish it haha
@@Silverraine1 that's true...so much technology...a day away from my phone seems like a good remedy :) thanks for the advice!
Thank you for sharing what u eat a day lol 😂 u eat tiny amount.
Read & watch One Piece.
I don’t think you should use modern day morals to judge Hemingway.
Can you please please post more videos???
I think you may have made crepes by accident :)
Why were you wearing a mask outside and while alone after having been vaccinated? 🤣
I haven't been vaccinated yet, unfortunately; Australia is really behind compared to some other countries. In SA our case numbers are low, currently, but a lot of the east coast is in lock down. We have to wear masks while in shops, so it's easier to leave it on.
I have read quite a lot of Hemingway, he is an arrogant ass, but For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Sun Also Rises are great books. I think A Moveable Feast is generally considered a lesser of his works. He is a very patchy writer.
