They're real, down to earth, cozy and remind us to look at for all the quiet moments of magic. Thanks to you, I've annotated 2 books now and I've started a bit of a sticker collection as I've decided to start decorating my journal... its so peaceful to pick out stickers and paper and is again, a quiet moment of magic. Thank you for the inspiration ❤❤

Smart to wait! I plan on reading it when the back-order at my library allows which . . . who knows when 🤣 Oh, those four made it onto my fav list, I had a great time reading them. Hope you like them if you decide to try them. I actually have "A Tempest of Blood and Tea'" on my tbr! The cover is so pretty and the summary sounds intriguing, for sure. Good luck on the reading!

I love this channel

The decorative sheets that you were talking about are actually stickers! They're called hand held stickers and yes, you cut the yourself with scissors and then you can peel it if from it's paper and it will stick like normal stickers! I bought one thinking it was just normal stickers but it's works just fine!

I need to stop watching your videos because like 20 books on my TBR list are from you, haha. My favourite book from 2023 is One good thing by Alexandra Potter (I believe, not sure on the first name). I think you'd LOVE it! It is about a middle aged lady from London who finds out her husband cheated with a young pretty girl, and she does the classic "divorce - leaving work - moving" thing. She moves into a quiant little English village (cobble stone cottages, nature, walks, LOTS of tea and biscuits) where she meets the different people that live there, finds out their stories and befriends them all, forming a community that helps each other through hard times. There's a bit of romance too. Overall it was a very easy, light-hearted but also emotional (at times) read. It's one of those books where "nothing much happens" as I like to say, the plot isn't overly fast-paced and full of twists and turns, just a lady making a new home and figuring things out. I love the message the book carries a lot. Plus: there's is a dog, and it's a big part of the book, which is always great :)
