i feel like i need to apologize for how hard i laughed at the idea of you and your father getting matching irish tattoos only to find out afterwards you have nothing to do with ireland. it honestly made my day. i loved the video, hope you have a good thanksgiving
Thinking about your father faking being Irish made my day. 😂 I so hope your ‘reunion’ goes well. Could be the makings of a great novel - think The Beesting by Paul Murray 🤣
absolutely love this video and learning some lore about people i will never know lmao i’m so glad i stumbled upon your videos i now click on them as soon as i get the notif! thanks for existing and sharing your reading escapades with us!
did not expect to hear family lore and drama when i clicked on this video but i've never been more invested in a stranger's life than i am in yours right now and i LOVE it the tea is crazyy
I would listen to you talk about tea for hours. I love your voice and way of speaking. I binged all of your videos when I found your channel and now I watch them to relax and fall asleep. You soothe my anxiety
this was a crazy introduction to your channel seeing as i ALSO cosplay being irish, looooove family drama, and i got my new-ish friend ulysses AND i who have never known man literally earlier today. i'm seeing her this friday and i'm so nervous because we've been in constant contact for the past nine months but i've only briefly met her before once lol i'm so scared she's not gonna like my gifts it's whatever
Found your channel recently and absolutely loving it! The story about your Dad living his own truth as an Irish man had me dying. Good luck for the reunion!
Oh, family dynamics -- gotta love 'em... Weirdly, I just had a slightly same verson of the same thing. Wish I had thought to bring books, because when haven't books helped, right? You got this! Can't wait for your update!
absolutely love getting to know you through these snippets. Dying at the tattoo (old one, not new), and love your taste in books! I feel so confident in picking up anything you recommend.
I legit sit in anticipation of what your family will think of your book-gifts. I'm turning on the notification bell so I don't miss the next uploads/updates. *gets tea mug ready*
The worst part abt finding a new channel you love is when you finish all of their videos and then have to wait like a well adjusted person (I am not a well adjusted person). I hope your thanksgiving goes well !
I just found your channel this week and am obsessed! Added a lot of titles to my list and love hearing your take on the ones I’ve already read- how good is milk fed omg!
Unrelated to this video specifically, I wanted to thank you for your recommendation of “This Thing Between Us” a few videos ago. It’s a fantastic read, thank you. I love the reoccurring recommendation of I who have never known men, it goes to show what an impact it left on you.
I relate so hard to the thanksgiving family drama but i dare say yours might surpass mine. Also I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your outros! sincere and succinct is the way to go, plus their abruptness is kinda hilarious
I really enjoy your videos, especially how casual and simple they seem. You come across as really confident and spontaneous, yet shy and goofy at the same time. It's so charismatic, I love it 😸 Any tips to boost confidence?
I’ve watched all your videos at this point but now I’m finally commenting. Your video about books that scare you showed up in my recommended and the rest is history. I love the perspective you have and the way you talk about books. Since maybe high school/college I have not read and finished a fiction book. You actually talk about fiction that I’m interested in. I need it to be a little weird, you know? Now I’m 30 and your video that talked about This Thing Between Us prompted me to pick it up and I devoured it! I can’t wait to read more of your recommendations. Hope everything goes smoothly with the fam!
Last Christmas, my entire family gave each other books (totally unplanned as a theme) and it was magical. I hope these gifts go over well and lead to some meaningful connections and conversations with your family.
i love listening to you so much, your videos are so calming :’) even when you read unhinged stuff. orrrr when i don’t agree with your opinions haha. it’s still very nice to simply hear you talk. good luck with your channel !
Honestly your videos inspired me to start reading again despite having not picked up a book in years. My first was if we were villians and I'm now starting on the shards ! Thank you
I found your channel about two months ago and I simply loved it! I knew it would get big if you wanted to, so I'm glad you're still posting so often. Thank you!! PS: Wish we could have started a book club when the following was smaller, but you can still do it in the future, congratulations for the following ❤🎉
Tbf, i heard from many Scottish people (residents / citizens) that some scottish people actually have irish roots because they moved to Scotland as immigrants. So there’s many irish immigrants (from way back when england was doing the genocide) who called Scotland home but live in irish majority communities and built their lives there. An example is the Scottish football club called celtics, its owned and made by irish immigrants in a predominantly irish area. So its still fully possible that you do have Irish ancestry! Lol
Youre so unserious but also very earnest and its a very endearing combination. Lmao at your dad. I feel like Irish is the OG weeabo of the older generations
So you’re gonna bring your estranged brother, who left the family for 15 years, a book about a woman who was away from society for years and then enters back into society into unknown surroundings… this is very meta :o
say nothing patrick radden keefe will be perfect book choice for your dad. After learning all this Irish history. He'll might feel even more connected. I'm here to enable lmao.
Good luck with your brother. Maybe you will become very close? A brother or sister can be the ultimate friend who will be by your side for the rest of your life. My mom was a little crazy, but she gave me 5 amazing siblings.
the extent to which im in your business right now i cannotttttttt express the pleasure i am getting from it
LMAO i love this comment
this is perfectly articulated i couldn't be more with you on this
Learning about your dad's Irish obsession truly was a highlight of my day
It was genuinely so delightful
this is like such a crazy thing to do (as in exposing family drama and intertwining it with books) but also really fun lol
Frankie casually dropping the lore on a Tuesday afternoon (we love to see it)
As a nosy b!tch who loves books, I am LIVING for this video
i feel like i need to apologize for how hard i laughed at the idea of you and your father getting matching irish tattoos only to find out afterwards you have nothing to do with ireland. it honestly made my day. i loved the video, hope you have a good thanksgiving
genuinely so funny lmao i used to be embarrassed about the dumbass tattoo but now i think it’s such a good story i can’t even be mad at it
Thinking about your father faking being Irish made my day. 😂 I so hope your ‘reunion’ goes well. Could be the makings of a great novel - think The Beesting by Paul Murray 🤣
The reason you changed the book for your sis is so funny but valid your a good sibling
messy family dinners 🤝 bringing curated gifts (fr though, good luck. Just be yourself, p.s. love the tat!)
Not me physically nodding along and leaning in while listening to the break down of the family dynamics
This is the best booktube video I've ever seen. Please never stop.
I'm confident that your brother will think you're absolutely cool for gifting him Frankenstein
Irishweebo is such a funny thing lol I hope your family likes the books
absolutely love this video and learning some lore about people i will never know lmao i’m so glad i stumbled upon your videos i now click on them as soon as i get the notif! thanks for existing and sharing your reading escapades with us!
thank you so much for being here!
Your channel has become my recent obsession and will continue to be for a long time.

Huge lore drop. I love the picks
Serotonin reignited at the sight of this on my subscription page.

I legit sit in anticipation of what your family will think of your book-gifts. I'm turning on the notification bell so I don't miss the next uploads/updates. *gets tea mug ready*
Can’t wait for the update on how the weekend went 🫖📚
Really love your vibe frankie .
i have no drama in my life i needed this so badly i am so grateful for you 🙌🏻
The worst part abt finding a new channel you love is when you finish all of their videos and then have to wait like a well adjusted person (I am not a well adjusted person). I hope your thanksgiving goes well !
good luck reconnecting with your brother!! please make sure to update us on what he and your other family members thought of the books! :))
been following this channel since 4k & i love that the vibes haven't changed. your taste is top tier !!
loving the dad lore
The joy I receive of a upload notification from Frankie’s Shelf is unmatched. Another stellar video 👌
Hope your family weekend is a success and everyone loves their books ♥️
Ugh your videos are so amazing you have no idea how excited I get when I see a new post of yours
on the road is sooo good if you haven’t read it yet! definitely feels like a summer read
This video made me really happy loll. I love how you described everyone in your family, and I hope you get along with your brother :)
I just found your channel this week and am obsessed! Added a lot of titles to my list and love hearing your take on the ones I’ve already read- how good is milk fed omg!
the matching celtic knot tattoos has me deaddd
byee this might've been your best video yet, so fun!
I’ve never seen your videos before and I love that the first video I see is crazy family lore
As someone who is of Irish descent, I wish I could get my family to be as excited about our heritage as your dad is 🤣
Unrelated to this video specifically, I wanted to thank you for your recommendation of “This Thing Between Us” a few videos ago. It’s a fantastic read, thank you.
I love the reoccurring recommendation of I who have never known men, it goes to show what an impact it left on you.
i love your videos, frankie! hoping everyone loves their books 🤍🤍🤍
I'm glad to hear that my dad isn't the only dad who cosplays being irish. I think its a dad thing
The “Ok” from your cat meowing is too relatable 😭 i also really like your new tattoo and learning about the family drama.I hope they enjoy the books!
I've been depressed and the story about your (non)irish dad made me laugh so genuinely so thank you (hope he loves the book!)
the frankie lore was a meadow and then this video dropped and now it's a crater
This is so chaotic I love it
An ode to our Irish heritage that we don't really have 💀💀💀
I'm HERE for this‼
Just found your channel and sm several videos in, I love how you review books and the style of your videos so far!
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR REUNION!! Please, update us how it goes!
I relate so hard to the thanksgiving family drama but i dare say yours might surpass mine. Also I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your outros! sincere and succinct is the way to go, plus their abruptness is kinda hilarious
This is the content I crave Family drama, literature, and a good time!!
This is my favorite video
Wait I’m obsessed
😂 I’m weakkkkk regarding your pop’s ☘️ accent to servers and that entire bit 🤣
"Under the Second Skin" sounds like a dope name for a magical realism novel lol
I really enjoy your videos, especially how casual and simple they seem. You come across as really confident and spontaneous, yet shy and goofy at the same time. It's so charismatic, I love it 😸 Any tips to boost confidence?

Can only imagine the chaos on thanksgiving
I Who Have Never Known Men is the best book I’ve read all year🙌🙌
This was my favorite video
And right when the world needed them the most, they returned ❤
making me wish i wasn't the only person in my family who reads
Our king has returned
"She's so easily influenced, but not by me." 🤣
i wish you luck on this exploration of long lost family dynamics!!
came for the books stayed for the vibe 🧡
I LOVE your jumper. I hope the thanksgiving trip goes well 😬
I just love how your cat contributes to the discussion
