My favorite Sci Fi book is The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury! As for Fantasy, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and the rest of the series is really great! Also the Stormlight Archives Series by Brandon Sanderson are very interesting fantasy books! Hope this helps! Love your videos :)

The Monstrumologist! It's dark and a bit thrilling, set in early 20th century America, about an orphan taken in by a scientist who studies monsters. (Think old lore of rural communities of what monsters are killing their livestock or what monsters a hunter might stumble across in the middle of the night. Think chupacabra, wendigo, bunyip, Mongolian death worm, etc.)

Robin Hobb has a good fantasy epic series that I've only read like 6 books of like a decade ago but I remember being obsessed. Seanen McGuire's October Daye series is faerie crime-problem-solving in San Francisco, 16 books but easier reading.

Its not weird to be over the car dependency situation in this country. They’re so bad for so many reasons. We definitely need better public transit and pedestrian friendly infrastructure

i regularly think about urban planning, car culture, and lack of public transit in america because it really is such a bad use of funds and causes so much stress and accidents that are ultimately unnecessary. whenever i get the chance to visit a place with robust public transit the experience is so nice and straightforward. and then i come back to america where you need a car just to get to essential places like the grocery store or doctor's offices and i hate it so much. not to mention the traffic. oh my god the traffic. @.@

@Lily-ig1rt I am also neurodivergent - autistic - and I’ve come to realize it makes me a bad driver. There are so many things to get distracted by and I have to consciously force myself to focus on the road whenever I drive. It’s exhausting. I try not to drive whenever possible. Glad you were able to move somewhere with decent public transit.

Becky Chambers has a Sci-Fi series that is to DIE for. The first book is called The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and it kicks off the series so well. The characters and species are so diverse, there's tons of explorations of sexuality and gender, and also space action and drama, they're so good!

I love how you blur out faces. So respectful!!

The green flouncy gown looked so so beautiful ❤ congratulations on your award!!!

This makes me miss nyc in the 90s and Cheap Jack’s, which used to be near 14th St. I got a vintage blazer there for $1.99 when I was an undergrad that I still love. How do I remember it was $1.99? Cuz the handwritten receipt is still in the pocket, along with a Mets schedule from 1992…

Kathleen could you do a video where you go through your top 10 ( or twenty i wont judge) thrift finds? it would be so nice to see what your favourites are since I bet your house is full of treasures :)

I am so excited to watch this! Just did 7 loads of laundry at the 'mat, hoping this will keep me motivated to get thru the fold + hang phase lol, hopefully find new outfit ideas along the way :).

Kathleen the pink statement piece was stunning!! I've also had the coolest thrift finds recently :D I found these light-weight, flowy, yellow trousers and this long-sleeved burnt sienna dress with a peter pan collar and !! ruffles!! SO MANY RUFFLES!! (I love ruffles)

I've been cycling through the videos on your channel and you are re-inspiring me to make weird art! to just create for the joy of making something! it feels like you're an older sister who sees my stuff and goes: "yes exactly, do what you love, you deserve it!" and I am very grateful for that energy, so thank you

Congratulations to you and your team on the award win!! 😊👏 Hope you had a great time- sure looked like you did, and you found some amazing pieces as well!! ❤ I had no idea The Expanse is a book series! I watched every season of the show and absolutely loved it so I might have to read the books! If you haven’t watched the show I highly recommend (I obviously don’t know how closely it follows the books but I thought it was good!).

I bought an 80s Chanel jumbo in Tokio 7 in 2007 for $700 ❤😮 I was on a work trip and blew up my CC 😅 I was not leaving without it 😂

We went to NYC for 8 days (I'm from small town Canada). LOVED the subway! Easy to access, efficient, great for people watching & ADORED the "musical performances" that occurred every day! One day there was an entire mariachi band playing in our subway car!!!

I feel like the pink layer would be amazing over over an all black moment or some color blocking. 10/10 buy there!

Ah!! This video was so so fun to watch Kathleen! I adore you!

I'm such glad we have amazing public transport in my country. It's so nice just hop on train.

I was all excited for a potentially new fragrance but the red Zara is my main and I’ve had into the night lotion/perfume too 🐸

So happy to see the green dress debut in NYC. Yay 🎉🎉🎉

That New York minute joke has me rolling! How you get so funny?! 😂

Please wear the pink one backwards as a fancy silky gown with something under that shows your back ❤

So nice! I enjoy watching you thrift especially the styling afterwards, always so quirky and fun! Thank you so much for your videos 🌈

Just what i needed this Sunday❤

You are THE cutest little bean!!! And don't think I didn't notice that you didn't say we were stinky this week. As a native New York girl, not city, Long Island and now upstate, i am so happy that you enjoyed your visit. ❤❤❤.

I just wanna say I love your energy :)

I'm planning on visiting NYC this year so I'll definitely have to check out those thrifts! Also congrats on the award, that is so cool! 👏
