such a kind soul 🥹🌷

I met Sabrina Carpenter at a meet and greet when the album came out and she asked what my favorite song was so I said emails I can’t send and she literally went “omg i’m so sorry that one is so sad” and it was the funniest thing ever she was so sweet

Love that Des knows you so well❤

I love The Iron Fey series! The Iron King is the first in the series. There's 3 series within the series. The first 3 books follow Meghan Chase, the 4th book is a prequel novel about her love interest. The next 3 books is about Meghan's brother Ethan. The last 3 books is all of the characters working together to save the Fey & human worlds.

The whole box opening has me grinning and wanting to cry it's just so wholesome omg.

Booktubers are the best people. They are friends with each other, and care about each other. I want to be part of the group. Des sending you gifs is the sweetest. ❤❤❤

The iron king series is what got me into reading back when I was in middle school!! Forever a favorite for me. I only ever read 4 books but I know there is a spin off series that I haven’t read.

Omgggggg seeing the package Destiny sent you made me so happy and grateful for finding book videos and getting to know the book community

yes, the booktube corner of the internet is my faveeee. And thank you Rachel for being such a GREAT part of this community, and my life. Love you so much. You are the balsam to my anxious girliness lol. Lots of Looooveeee!

I just finished One Dark Window & loved it! A different twist to fantasy, with magical cards, I LOVE! 10/10 would recommend ❤️❤️

I am overdue for a reread but the Iron Fae series was one of my favourites from years ago! The main series (4 books) is just in publishing order and I read the novella collection afterward, and from what I know about The Lost Prince, it should be read after the main series :)

Iron king is the first book in the original series by Julie which has 4 books in it. I recommend starting with iron king. There are 2 other spin off series.

Have so much fun at the concert! For other cozy books, you might like The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches or Tress of the Emerald Sea.

your smile is so beautiful ❤️ also i just found your channel a couple days ago and i’m already obsessed!!!!!

I’m so glad so many people are posting today

Happy belated Valentine's Day to you Rachel! 💕

The very secret society of irregular witches is a great cozy fantasy, loved it!

I usually crochet while I watch your videos so I love it when you talk / show you crocheting!! It feels like we are crocheting together! ❤️😌

I wish I could find these kind of people in my life who are interested in books and being creative and artsy and just your friendship crew are so aligned ❤

I literally started reading one dark window yesterday and it seems great so far!

i love your bee rachel its so cuuute! i lowkey want one

I LOVE the book journal content!!!

I loved the Iron King series! The first 4 are the best, but they are all fun. And if you haven’t read Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater it has similar vibes to Emily Wilde. Hope you enjoy!

Pride & Prejudice of all vases too!! 🫶🏻

I have the Count Dracula book in the Jack The Ripper series. My friend who crochets. Does those little stuffies. They are so cute❤

Speaking of cozy fantasy, I adored Legends & Lattes and Bookshops and Bonedust. 😊

your vlogs are so comforting🥰

One of my favorite hoodies that i got from Hello Lovely (a bookish merchandise company in the US), says "Bury Me Next to My TBR". Makes sence as i doubt i will ever finish my physical TBR in my lifetime 😂

I just finished Stalking Jack the Ripper and enjoyed it but wasn't obsessed with it. Happy reading 😊

I just picked up Iron King at a used bookstore for the exact same reasons! Sounds so interesting!!

the romance in the stalking jack the ripper series is unmatched !!

Good morning Rachel happy Monday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

you unboxing Des's parcel was so cute

You inspired me to start crocheting I’ve only made one square but just bought supplies to make a bag now haha 🩷

i just listened to emilie wilde book 1 on spotify and i LOVED IT. i already cant wait to get the physical book and annotate it 🥹

That bag is too cute❤

Aww, the bee is so cute

i live in my lemonde pink princess polly shirt hehe so influenced by you!!

ive been trying to finish watching this vlog for ages but ive been so busy. The iron fey was one of the first series i fell in love with it is 3 serperate series in one but you need to read them in order. first you have iron fey which is 4 books. then there is iron fey call of the forgotten (a spin-off) which is 3 books and lastly theres ironfey: Evenfall which is also 3 books. this series was finished last year so hope this helps 🥰

20:13 emails i can’t send (the song) is my favorite from the album!! i think she won’t sing it not only bc it’s a sadder song but also bc it’s a very personal one (she wrote it about her dad’s affair and how that changed their relationship)

I wish you could teach me how to crochet that kindle cover is so cute! Love your vlogs ❤

I love being Australian, don’t get my wrong but American gifts, books, VASES, notebooks and stationary really is something else! 🫶🏻

the iron fae series is SOOOO good, I was obsessed with it when I was like 15 and I completely forgot it existed till you showed it. I have to reread!!!

Swordheart by T Kingfisher is a great cozy fantasy rec! My favourite!! 5 ⭐️

Your edition of map of the otherworld is SO CUTE. Totally different version than mine here in the US.

I’m in South Africa and we have the same trade paperbacks as you guys. But there are still trade copies of Crescent City being sold in my city. If u come to one of our bookstores, they literally sell all three covers lol

Hi! Correct me if I missed it but I’d love to see a scrapbook tutorial or tips and tricks! Been wanting to start one too but don’t really know where to start! Love your videos!! 🫶🏼

It’s the fact that I drop everything and avoid all responsibilities when Rachel drops a video to watch

I love your wholesome life!,

I hope you have the MOST AMAZING time at Eras!!!!! She's been unhinged in Melbourne so fingers crossed you get some delightful chaos too!!

Counting down the days until the eras tour vlog. Have so much fun!! 🎉

I love how you all book girlies are friends. You need to go meet them. Tell hubby buy you a ticket for Christmas

The iron king is one of my favorite series ever. This got me into fantasy. I really hope you enjoy it ❣️

I can’t wait for you to read The Raven Boys! I love that series so much ☺️ For cozy fantasy books I’d recommend Howls Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones or Stardust by Neil Gaiman ✨

Hi Rachel!! you probably won't see this but I love that you put scriptures at the beginnings of your videos

Stop itttt the bee is so cute!!!

Rommie I loved this vlog a lot, a lot a lot

Fantastic video Rachel!😸

I recently just bought sticker printer paper and you just print your pictures out normally and then they’re automatically made into stickers and it’s made book journaling so much easier! 10/10 recommend

I love your vlogs 😍 Added Done & Dusted to my wishlist and I really need to pick up Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries 🥰

I can definitely tell Destiny’s love language is gift giving and I’m here for it 🫶

The Iron king is the first book in the Iron fae by Julie Kagawa. It is the first book set in its this world. There's a original trilogy which is The iron king, The iron daughter and the iron queen. Then there's a fourth book about the love interest for the series and also six spinoff books that are part of two different series. I'm still on book 4 (it's been years at this point lol) but I really want to get to it and finally finish it. I hope you enjoy The iron king.

I just finished the Lochlann Feuds Series and it was amazing! 5 star series for sure!! Would love to see you read them as well. It's such an under-rated series it makes sad that more people don't know about it

Trying to find a moment this week to go buy some yarn cause I want to start crocheting tooo

as far as i know the iron king series is only 4 books, the other ones are spin offs, novellas etc, i only read the first 4, but tbh the first 3 are the original trilogy and even if u only read those you get the full completed story basically:)

one dark window duology is really good 🫶🏻

I've read the Talon Saga by Julie Kagawa and I loved it! Very YA with a tiny bit of romance. Dragons are the best part about. Please please read this 5 book series ❤️ it got me back into reading!

I teared up seeing you open Destiny's package 😭😭 Girlhood for the win!!! ❤

Don't wait till christmas, use the mug now!🙌🎉

Hey Rach. Where is the white tee with blue angels from? I love it xx

That’s just great, Rach 😅. Now I’m crying because I’ve never thought of Marjorie in the context of Magnolia Parks and now I’ll never be able to unsee it. I always cry whenever I hear it anyway but now I’ll be bawling 😭

Will you please do some scrapbooking flip-through? If it's not too personal

28 Summers is so good!! Definitely have some tissues on hand though 🫶

oh no 😦

I started the Iron King a few months ago but I have not finished it yet. My interest wasn't fully there, but it does have a lot of fantasy creatures within the first 100 pages.

no because why did I cry at the christmas gnome ribbon LOL

Hi Rachel! I have a cozy fantasy book recommendation for you. It's called "A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking" by T. Kingfisher. It's a YA and such a cute read! It has the cutest characters and it is a little more action packed/high stakes than your typical cozy fantasy book. It was honestly such a fun storyline to follow. Basically, our main character is a young Wizard and she gets accused of murder. We follow her journey to clearing her name and using her magical powers to make dough and baked goods fight off those trying to throw her into jail.

Cozy fantasy - The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna 🤗

cosy fantasy recs; The spell shop by sarah beth durst! bakers and magic by J. Penney can’t spell treason without tea by Rebecca Thorne half a soul by Olivia Atwater 💘💘💘

I saw Easter gnomes at TK Maxx the other day and thought of you!

Oh my gosh, can someone tell me how to crochet a kindle/book sleeve?! Pleeeaaasssseeeee I need to make one immediately! ❤

Iron King series is phenomenal. I believe the last two or three in the “series” are spin offs. The first books are better than the spin offs.

Please read Stalking Jack the ripper because it's sooooo good. Love ya❤❤❤
