Whenever I'm in this mood, I find that middle grade is the way to go. Currently reading A Pinch of Magic (about 3 sisters with magical objects on an adventure to break the family curse) and I'm looking at The Marvellers (magical boarding school set on the clouds) as my next read.

i just have to say, i REALLY appreciate the tremendous amount of effort that goes into your plot summary videos! they're so entertaining and i love them so much. ALSO, you inspired me to start reading again (i'm one of those people who liked to read a lot in early middle school and then stopped as i got older)! so thank you for all that you do!!

As a subscriber of both of your channels, I don’t get bored at all! Even if every vlog was you in the house or you in one neighborhood in Seoul, I think how you see/explain the world and how it shows through your shots and editing and music is so comforting and enjoyable to watch! I love seeing life through your eyes, even what you might think of as the “unexciting” or “normal” parts!

Sometimes I actually prefer the casual vlogs because they're just so relaxing and they don't make me feel bad about my life lol😅 Like, if someone travels all the time and goes to events non stop (or at least that's all they show), it can give me so much fomo. Usually all I want is a cute, chill vlog I can play in the background ❤ Can't wait for the next Shadowhunters plot summary 😍

Hey Cari! I love reading, but it had been a WHILE since I'd read a book for pleasure and I didn't know what to pick or what would get me out of a very long reading slump. Thanks to you I discovered some of my all time favorite books such as Sorcery of thorns, Six of Crows... forever grateful for that!!!!!
i've been having pretty bad anxiety all day and have been overwhelmed from packing to move but I decided to put this video on in the background and it calmed me down so much so I appreciate you

Oh Cari I'm so glad i found your channel, been binging all of your videos multiple times! Not sure where to post this video idea, but I'd love to see a video where you explore books by new or indie authors. I feel like there's so many good stories out there that never see the light of day, and it would be so cool to spotlight some! Anyways either way, hope you have a lovely day if you see this ❤
