I love your planner and just love writing in it. I’m quite old, I don’t have a tight schedule I can do pretty much as I like but still it’s great documenting my day. I write, compose music and am not very disciplined. Your channel is helping me sooo much especially just watching you getting down to it lighting your candle and writing. The old can learn from the young these days how true it is.
“how i live now” is actually such a great book, I’ve read it twice. First time in middle school and then i recently re-read it. It’s such an interesting concept of looking at a modern world in war (which is more and more prevalent) and how a child would see and experience it. It’s definitely made me cry, especially the end. I hope you enjoy it💜
Hello Ruby, I just want to say you are my inspiration and go-to channel whenever I feel unmotivated or unproductive. You are probably not going to be able to read this, but I also want to let you know you were one of the reasons that pushed me to be a better student, to which is also the reason I now have straight As. You are one of those people that bring me a sense of peace and postivity that I always will cherish and appreciate. Keep being amazing, Ruby! 🥰💗
research is my favourite part of writing! you end up with so many tabs looking into such random things that you can’t even imagine how it all correlates to one novel
i just took a children’s literature class! and am working with children’s lit for my thesis as well. loving these parallels to what you’re working on ruby :)
Hello from Turkey:)) You helped me a lot to improve my English. Now i can understand the video without translation. Thanks for your help. Definitly come to visit Istabul one day.
This is such a wonderful video! Would you ever consider making a video on your creative writing process and how people who have never done creative writing can start? It is something that I am interested in, but it is kind of daunting.
Ruby our dear, you always share videos when we need them the most 🥺 although I'm a graduate, I've been using your videos to motivate me for a couple of years I just received some great news! my 3 months old cousin who was born with a very rare condition of infantile end-stage kidney failure just started showing the earliest signs of improvement, it seems like her kidneys started working again after the doctors stopped giving her regular dialysis sessions after she caught an infection, we still don't know for sure but hearing such great news and following it by watching your vlog just made this day perfect ❤️
Hey Ruby! All your videos are really breath- taking, calm+ fun and truly inspiring... thankyou so much for being their not only to inspire me to work hard but also for making me feel joyful and happy in a different and friendly way...💖💖, by the way today and tomorrow we are gonna celebrate a really wonderful and fun festival in India which is the festival of colors - Holi, so 'Happy Holi! ' to u too 😊😃😅
Love your videos, they always inspire me. I watched your videos when I am studying for an exam and passed. Your videos always help me to relax and feel motivated to study ❤️
have always been a coffee drinker, but that was then and this is now. it is inspiring to see how excited u get while enjoying tea... so now i'm hooked on tea. thanks Ruby (i think)
Hello Ruby, congratulations on finding a literary agent! I was wondering if you could make a video on this, or share some tips? I am searching for an agent myself, so far I have had 7 rejections. If you have any advice for me, that would be fantastic. P.S, thank you for sharing such great content! x
hey Ruby, this is a tip for cleaning mugs, you know mugs and teacup can get stained when use a lot. You can soak them for about 30 min to 1 hour in a solution made of water + few drops of bleach (make sure is the one safe for purifying water, it says it on the bottle, also the exact quantity per liter of water should be on the instructions in the bottle too), after the mugs are soaked you will see them white as new, try it!
Do you ever do any unsponsored videos? I feel like you have a lot more ads than most of the youtubers I follow, and I have to admit I’ve come to slightly prefer ad-free content.
Ruby, I will like to share something with you. I am sojourning somewhere else, and quite far from my hometown. In all this time that I have spent in here, your video is the only one that reminded me of my home because I would watch your videos often on my study's desk, one corner of a room there which has seen me closely through thick and thin. What I mean to tell you is that watching your videos on this new desk in here made a sight of my desk cross my mind.
One is probably one of my favourite books. I love how it's structured and it's so beautifully written. Be prepared to cry your eyes out. Would definitely recommend Sarah Crossan's other books too.
my specialty for my english degree is creative writing and the classes are so fun!! i'm doing a poetry one right now and i'm working on a book as well to finish by the end of the semester!!
You should look at secondhand stand mixers too, if the price is too high. They are usually much cheaper and sometimes are nearly new. For instance, someone was selling an Instant Pot for $25 because they didn't know how to use it. The only thing they did was make rice in it one time. I can see a stand mixer being the same.
Could someone please tell me the instrumental music name at 10:30 and after? it's the most inspiring thing I've heard in a while, want to listen to it while I write
Hi Ruby, great video! I was just wondering if you had any advice on how I can concentrate better when reading, I often get distracted but there are so many books I want to read.
Loved this video!! I was wondering if you could make a writing tips/advice now that you've written multiple books and have signed with an agent? (congrats btw!!) I have so much trouble getting started when I have an idea and would love to hear about your process. Thanks :)
@a n oh I didn’t know they pronounced it differently! That’s crazy because Afrikaans comes from Dutch so I thought they’d pronounce it the same. Very interesting!
i absolutely adore your videos, thank you so much for being a really big part of my motivation! i really struggle with mental health and physical limitations & you have no idea how helpful you are
Some universities in the states do dissertations or capstone projects as a class in the final year. It’s usually worth more credits than an average class because it’s independent research. But in the UK I think it’s usually a year long project that makes up a large part of your final year.
greetings, ruby! i very rarely comment but i thought that i ought to every once in a while to acquaint you of how wonderful you and your videos are! you have a most delightful and easily admirable personality, and i'm so glad that i've found such a like-minded person online. thank you for these lovely videos and congratulations on shortly graduating! :D
Greetings Ruby! I learned reading the No. 1ladies detective agency books that Rooibos tea is pronounced “Roy-bus”! It’s been a while since I read it, but I do remember the author specifically talking about it, because they drink a LOT of rooibos tea in the book!
Hey Ruby, loved this video; it definitely motivated me!!! I do have some book recommendations that I believe you'd love to read one day: -Nobody's Secret by Michaela MacColl (this book actually has Emily Dickinson as the main character!!) -One of those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies by Sonya Sones -They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera -Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch -Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson -The Westing Game by Ellen Rasken -Morning Girl by Michael Dorris -Incantation by Alice Hoffman -Percy Jackson Series Hope you try these out one day :)
Omg Ruby you are finally going to read the “How I live Now”🤩I’m so excited!! The movie is one of my top favourites as well as the actors but it’s a bit different from the book. Hope you like it💗
10:28 - 10:50 Well said Ruby! I too personally believe that books we read as children make a huge part of our thinking pattern and conscience. Those words were truly enlightening.
I read The Cousins last month, and it's a good book, I hope you enjoy it. Also thank you for making such amazing videos, you give me the motivation and inspiration to be productive and work hard on my studies, so thank you for all that you do. Good luck with your dissertation and your book, I know they'll be amazing!
I haven't read The Cousins yet. Is there a connection between this book and the popular one: One of Us is Lying?? Both books seem to have this mysterious/wealthy family vibes LOL
your videos always have such nice nature shots that are so aesthetic. Just wanted to say (no hate, whatsoever) I'm south african and we say Rooibos like Roy-bos (The o in bos is the same sound as the o in your),
You pronounce rooibos like Roy-boss (kind of, I can't think of a way to quite explain the accent of the boss except that I guess it's more like the o sound in horse) Edit you actually said it pretty well in the voiceover
Hello, does anyone know the name of the song in the very first portion of the video, around 0:32-0:55?? I tried using an app to find the song but couldn’t find it!
I recommend that you look into Gloria Fuerte's children's poetry. It's really lovely and could inspire you for your module plus it's easy to read in spanish if you're still trying to pick it up again
As much as I enjoy Ruby's videos I think she should do videos to another side of her life I find it hard to believe the videos she puts out that's all she does with her life reading writing sitting around drinking tea 🍵 and going to shows and going for walks
Rooibos means red bush in Afrikaans yes. You pronounce it roybos as in the sound oy for boy. The second part is okay. The r is also very hard and pronounced almost to the degree of the r Spanish words. Love the video though. 🌻🤗
U used the very same kinda soundtrack u used some time ago (on a video about your morning routine) in the "more writing" part of this video, and I still don't know what its nan iiiiiiis 😓😓😓😓😩😩😩😩😩😩!!!! Please, tell me, I wanna download it!!!!
I have a story. It’s embarrassing, but I’ve watched Ruby for a while and it was about a year or so after starting watching that I thought “wow I don’t think I’ve ever watched a girl this long without thinking once about her looks”, but before I could even complete that thought, all I could think about was how beautiful she was. And ever since then I was always thinking this and commenting about how beautiful she was. This is why I want to add this story to give it some context. It’s not like I only watch because I think she’s cute or that I don’t notice that she’s smart when I’m commenting about how darn beautiful this Ruby is.
Hi Ruby, I noticed that you are reading Loveless and I wondered what you think of it and if you are going to read any more Alice Oseman books (I really recommend them as she's my favourite YA author) :) p.s. I love your videos, they're the best to help me relax after a busy day💕
Hey! I read Radio silence a few weeks ago, but I had the feeling not a lot happened in the book, which made me a bit bored, eventhough I loved her writing style. Could you please tell me if the other books have a bit more storyline, becayse then I’ll definitely try another!
Ruby!! Thank you for being alive! My whole existence Is better because of You! Im ordinary, but You are Extraordinary!! That being said, never feel afraid to show your mistakes to others, or your - so called- dark side, like You once said, we all have one, I celebrate your dark side ( even if I dont have any idea of the full extent of It) because brightness is active, and darkness Is always passive, You got to work for every bit of brightness that You have, and You shine brighter than any one I ever met, but some times I wonder about the "other side of Ruby" Is just like the dark side of the moon, only few lucky people will ever get to know it, and Ruby, the people you choose to show your dark side, are going to be the ones You trust the most, and they are going to be the lucky ones indeed. Thank You for every video You have ever made! Have a great day!!
Good luck everyone in your studying. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a break and take a deep breath. It helps in any situation, just try it 😉
I love your planner and just love writing in it. I’m quite old, I don’t have a tight schedule I can do pretty much as I like but still it’s great documenting my day.

such a wholesome comment! hope everything goes well with your writing ◡̈ have a great day
how heart-warming! ;)
I am in my twenties, but I will shout out loud for the rest of what you have said "SAMEEEEE HEREEEE!!! ".
Your vlogs are always so peaceful yet inspire me to work harder. Good luck with your dissertation Ruby 💜 I know it’s going to be wonderful ☺️
“how i live now” is actually such a great book, I’ve read it twice. First time in middle school and then i recently re-read it. It’s such an interesting concept of looking at a modern world in war (which is more and more prevalent) and how a child would see and experience it. It’s definitely made me cry, especially the end. I hope you enjoy it💜
I just find your channel to be so soothing to the eyes and ears. 💗 You really could narrate audiobooks!
Ah thank you Michelle!

Hello from Turkey:)) You helped me a lot to improve my English. Now i can understand the video without translation. Thanks for your help. Definitly come to visit Istabul one day.
As always, I love the cozy feel of your vlogs! This one especially 🥰
Im also doing a Creative Writing module in Romania and I love it! We just wrote a prose!☺️❤️ Good luck on your book!
This is such a wonderful video! Would you ever consider making a video on your creative writing process and how people who have never done creative writing can start? It is something that I am interested in, but it is kind of daunting.

Happy you took my suggestion for the Rooibos tea!!
Hey Ruby! Thanks for a lovely upload. South African here, the Rooibos tea is pronounced more like 'roy'
Taking a break from chemistry and then I saw your video! This perfectly relaxes my brain ♥️♥️♥️

You are so inspiring !
In years to come we’ll look back on these videos and be reminded of Ruby’s journey towards being a renowned and timeless author. 🧡
I love your channel, thanks for the book recommendations!

P.S you should definitely make a video on book writing.
Yours sincerely,

My day gets better when ruby uploads
Every video I always notice how much I love your nail varnish!! Can you share which one it is? X
I’m doing a Creative Writing course very soon Ruby!
Love your videos Ruby! Are you planning on going into grad school? You totally have the right profile for it ☺️❤️
Your vlogs are all "zen". So peaceful. I stream them while I study.

Feeling really calm after watching the video..thanks Ruby 💞
I'm so pleased Suman :)

really bizzare sound in this, was it bothering anyone else? especially the beginning
The wilder girls and the cousins were both such good books!!

Hi Ruby, great video! I was just wondering if you had any advice on how I can concentrate better when reading, I often get distracted but there are so many books I want to read.
somewhere on the planet there is still normal life... I want to live in peace and I want to have a chance to see England some day
This video had the perfect timing because I just hit the 10.000 words mark in my current project a few days ago!!!
After watching all your videos and never seeing an actual book worm I concluded the possibility that book worms are actually the larve from moths.
Please, please share how you colour grade your videos. I just absolutely love the tones in your videos!
How is no one noticing she didn't eat anything until dinner and dinner wasn't exactly a big calorie-rich meal?
hopefully she just didn't film it

Rooibos is from my country :)
You pronounce it roy-baus “au” as in Autumn. And roll the “R” a little bit
Hope that helps🌸

Please explain how a dissertation fits into your academic program. Here in the States it would be part of a PhD program.
Some universities in the states do dissertations or capstone projects as a class in the final year. It’s usually worth more credits than an average class because it’s independent research. But in the UK I think it’s usually a year long project that makes up a large part of your final year.

I love this new vlog of yours. Since you are reading different types of genres of books, pleas read Love Hypothesis!! It's my favorite book ever!! :)
Greetings Ruby! I learned reading the No. 1ladies detective agency books that Rooibos tea is pronounced “Roy-bus”! It’s been a while since I read it, but I do remember the author specifically talking about it, because they drink a LOT of rooibos tea in the book!
Actually not “Roy-bus” but more “Roy-boss” with an elogated o in Roy :)
Rooi comes from the Dutch word “rood” meaning red and “bos” meaning bush.

as far as the tea pronunciation, you can say "roy-bows" or "roy-bus" :)
Hie Ruby
How r u ? Nice to meet u again
I feel motivated again 💪 😌
Thank you uuuuuuuu
You’re a good youtuber.
your videos always have such nice nature shots that are so aesthetic. Just wanted to say (no hate, whatsoever) I'm south african and we say Rooibos like Roy-bos (The o in bos is the same sound as the o in your),
Can’t get enough of the pumpkin mug! 🎃
Me neither!
You pronounce rooibos like Roy-boss (kind of, I can't think of a way to quite explain the accent of the boss except that I guess it's more like the o sound in horse)
Edit you actually said it pretty well in the voiceover
ohhhh... Im in love with your accent
Can you pls make a video on hand writing aesthetics…?
3:37, above the handicapped poster, I really had to look hard at that thought it was a golli
Rooibos is actually pronounced "roy-bos" with more emphasis on the 'oss' sound at the end. Not sure if that makes sense.
Yes it does! Thank you :)x
Hello, does anyone know the name of the song in the very first portion of the video, around 0:32-0:55?? I tried using an app to find the song but couldn’t find it!
I think it’s a movement from the nutcracker by Tchaikovsky. Not sure what movement exactly but hopefully that helps! :)
I recommend that you look into Gloria Fuerte's children's poetry. It's really lovely and could inspire you for your module plus it's easy to read in spanish if you're still trying to pick it up again
The cousins is very good!
Ruby have you seen the gilded age yet ? It’s so good !

Rooibos means red bush in Afrikaans yes. You pronounce it roybos as in the sound oy for boy. The second part is okay. The r is also very hard and pronounced almost to the degree of the r Spanish words. Love the video though. 🌻🤗
Rooibos is pronounced ROY-buhs (my mum's from South Africa). You can look up audio pronunciation online if that helps :-)
I've read one of us is lying, it's a pretty good book.
Rooibos is pronounced Roy-boss :)

Dear Ruby, I think you’re amazing - the rooi in rooibos as in rooibos tea is pronounced “roy”, much easier than roo-ee.
