they're adorable 🥰🐰🦊

If you're looking for more horror reads, I'd highly recommend checking out two short stories by Algernon Blackwood, "The Wendigo" and "The Willows"! I believe they classify as nature horror which is, alongside folkloric horror, my favorite type of spooky stories 🧡

ohh I do love that genre as well! thank you so much for the recommendation 🖤🌿

I'm glad that divine rivals could pleasantly surprise you! I do enjoy reading YA so I probably need to pick that one up myself at some point now ^.^ You're the second person to have grown recommended in my watching session this morning. Can't believe it is still sitting on my shelves! Crying in h mart was in my favourites list the year I read it as well. I like what neil gaiman represents as well, but I haven't really liked any of his books before 😭 Although I have tried many times! But you're making me wonder if i should be trying the ocean at the end of lane now... Loved your excitement over Milena's shop. And yay for more shakespeare!

would love to hear your thoughts on all those books! thank you so much for watching and commenting as always ❤️

I love Neil ❤ and that book is one of my favorites. If you haven't read Coraline, I really recommend it, and his reading of the audiobook is amazing. I loved the style of your ponytail in this video, I also have long hair and I struggle to make a nice one! 😅

I have read Coraline, yes! his reading is always great :) haha thank you, it can be very tricky to do a long hair ponytail 😆✨

I’m so giddy and happy seeing you unpack the books 🥹 you’re enthusiasm is so wonderful! Especially sniffing the books, haha. Crying in H Mart had me in a MOOD as well 🥲 it was really lovely to hear your thoughts on your 2023 reads.

So happy to see Crying in H Mart in your list of top books of 2023 🥰 I'm going to re-read it one day, I'll relate to it even more as I lost my dad recently 🤍

There's a lovely song called Leaving by Clifford T Ward where in the aftermath of finding his partner has left the lyrics are "the sun was shining brightly, no clouds in the sky, people talking outside and the traffic went by, all the world was hurrying on just as if there was nothing wrong".

just shows how immersive stories can be ✨

Just a reminder to tell you what a special soul you are. I have a feeling that maybe you do not know this. Is the piano music in the background, you playing?

that is really sweet of you to say, thank you 🥺 ahh and no, I'd be too scared to share that 🙈

I cannot support Neil Gaiman anymore. I will just read what I have of his works, and if I am curious about what remains...there are public libraries. I realize how emotional looking at books makes us. When I'm upset, I get my coffee and put a chair in front of the library to fill my eyes with it. Just looking at it gives me peace of mind.🍉
