You’re one of the best on KZread! I’m a book lover!

I’m definitely a book lover, I need to have the physical book in my hands. I’ve had plenty of friends tell me to try the reader but I just can’t get behind it. Give me an actual book any day of the week over the reader.

I shared this video with my husband because I see something I would like for my birthday next month. 🥰 I want that paper cutter with all the different cutting blades. 💖

Does this just lay on top of the paper? There's nothing under the blade right?

I flip flop between reading on my phone and reading an actual book. When reading on my phone, I love that I can immediately go on to next book if it's a series but sometimes I just want to "smell" a real book!😂 I also subscribe to FFF!! Can't wait to try some of your recommendations in this video!!❤

Kindle girl but also downloaded Libby on my tablet so I can read library books. Great video Courtney ❤

I love kindle! Carolyn Brown is my favorite author!

I’m definitely a Kindle girl! I love mine because I can borrow books from my library and they are returned automatically if I don’t need to renew them! This is awesome for me since I’m disabled and don’t drive anymore. Not only am I not waging heavy books back and forth but there is a HUGE selection of ebooks. Most all of the books available at your library has been put in ebook format. WONDERFUL for me! ❤❤❤

I don't have a Kindle. Is it really worth getting? I'm disabled also and can't drive. I can't walk anymore. I have MS. Can you borrow books from your friends that have a Kindle?

​@@sharoncole3440I dont have a kindle, I have a different tablet, and I only had to download the app the library told me I needed. But no, you can not borrow "books" from your friends. If you already have a tablet, just use that one, you dont have to buy a different one.

@@sharoncole3440 I’ve never done that so I don’t know but if you call your library they can help you get started. I use a kindle because I can’t stand the brightness of my iPad. But now my Mama uses her iPad to read hers. My husband got me mine and connected it to my iPad. I called our library to see what format they used and downloaded the app. I choose my books and it automatically downloads. When my time is up they automatically return. You can get them longer if you notify them in advance or you have the option of returning them and choosing more. I love it! I have MS too and it’s been a lifesaver for me. Not only convince but it allows me to get out of my own head for a little while.

OMG I love your bloopers!!! Great song choices… I love Alanis Morissette and then Another one bites the dust😜🤣🤣!! That glue pen sounds great & so does the paper cutter. Girl I hate to fold sheets, I wad them up & just chuck them right in the closet too lol.🤣

My son gave me a Kindle, and I LOVE it. I do miss turning the pages slightly, but that's not terrible. I do love your cover! I started with authors of previously read, like Debbie Macomber, and moved around since then. When you're searching one author, pay attention to the authors also recommended.

I do audiobooks from the library because I can listen while I sew.

One thing that I really like and recommend, is watching Courtney!!!! She can make your day!!! She is REAL!!!

Aww, thank you!

I still have my kindle from when they first came out. I love reading on it especially outdoors no glare. I still love books turning the pages and how it is bound. Also love walking into our local libraries and seeing the massive amount of books just waiting for someone to pick out. Library card is free. My daughter and son obtained their library card when they each turned 5. They are grown up now and still have the love of reading and both have kindles and still buy books 📚 📖

Love that!

Thanks for the ideas!! Love the after bloopers 😂😂

My daughter bought me my first Kindle and I totally fell in love with it. I am an avid reader and generally read 4 or 5 books a week. I bought a new Kindle when my other Kindle basically quit holding a charge, and I got a Kindle Fire 8 (12th generation). I don't know what your favorite genre is, but I am Christian Suspense/Mystery. Here is a list of my favorite authors, some are non-Christian. Christy Barritt, Susan Sleeman, Lynette Eason, and C.C. Warrens non-Christian authors Nora Roberts, J.D. Robb, Debbie Macomber, and Fern Michaels.

I’m a kindle girl and have been for over 10 years now l love it l like reading before going to bed so this way I don’t disturb my husband and my favourite author is kc Lynn love her books. I love your work especially the bloopers 😂thanks for the laughs

I love the bloopers at the end!! They all were so funny. I have that hot glue pen but I haven't used it yet. I love that paper cutter with the different cutting blades!! Thanks for all the wonderful ids you shared with us all. Take care and God Bless y'all always

Bust it out! I am loving the paper cutter!

I love reading...my mom always read to me as a child and I always had books. I still (at 81) have books my grandmother gave me. This really instilled in me my love of reading and I did the same for my girls. My grandmother had passed by the time I had them but my aunt alway gave books as gifts. I have not tried a kindle..I love to hold..to feel a book. I have favorite authors...one is Fern Michaels..she has a series that I love and follow. Now into the 30's. The Sisterhood series. All her books are great...many others but... Now, that storage box is something that could organize the linen closet. I try folding those fitted sheets but they never come out like the videos I've seen. But I do 'fold'. But your system sounds faster 🤪 I do like to keep them together by putting the sheets inside one of the pillowcases and store the set like that. It keeps them together in the closet. Thanks for today's tips. 🥰👍🏻

I am a kindle reader. I love it! I used to be overwhelmed with books (library loved it as I donated them after reading) but then I got a kindle! Other than my collector'e editions, my books are now all gone. I have 10.000+ books on my to-be-read list....all on my kindle. I had to put extra memory on my kindle to hold them all. I read every day and read a minimum of 100 books every year. I can't imagine living without it!

I love my kindle. I fought against it too until my husband got me one for Christmas a few years ago. Now I couldn’t live without it. I have kindle unlimited so I can borrow books from Amazon.

I’ll have to add the glue pen to my wishlist. I luv your craft tools videos, they are very informative & help me add to my craft stash! I’m a book person, and haven’t stopped reading since I was a kid. Always reading multiple books at once, something for fun & something to learn. 😊 I prefer the feel and smell of a soft cover book. Plus, I don’t have to charge it, worry about it being damaged , or get eye fatigue. Vintage books are one of my favorite things to collect and add to my personal library.

I love my Kindle. Mine was so old, I couldn’t load anymore books. So, I bought a new light weight one! I love the Wonky Inn books. I still love to read a regular book. TY Courtney!

Haha I was TOTALLY hoping that the sheet thing was something that helps fold the sheets, kinda like the t-shirt folding things.

These are great recommendations and definitely a book reader, and you are a hoot, keep being you. LOL. Big Thumbs Up 👍🥰🙏

I LOVE my nook, and I love my books 😊❤

I’m a book lover, hold the book, turn the pages! I just can’t make the change. My 85 year old Mom reads on a Kindle! Interesting to hear your story! Love watching your videos 15:54 especially this one on your recommendations on products! Thanks for sharing!

My book series recommendation is Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. There are 30 books so far. They are funny. Several yrs ago they tried to make a movie based on the books, but IMO they screwed up the casting, it had Katherine Heigl as Stephanie (ugh). The only character they got spot on was Sherri Shepherd as Lula, Stephanie’s sidekick. Sorry, I practically wrote a book in the comments 😂❤

I'm a hard core Kindle reader for probably 15-20 years. I also love cozy mysteries. I pay for unlimited and get tons of free books. I also have audible. I listen to one book and read a differnt book on my kindle, so yes I am a hardcore reader. It is so much easier to read a kindle while laying down,

I love the kindle app on my phone. Much easier to carry with me! If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you get your choice of a new release each month. They generally give you six options.

About 2 years ago I turned my spare bedroom into a craft room and I had a family member gift my 3 of the 3X3 storage cubbies. Well about 6 months later I bought a 4th 3X3 cubby storage and i put them end to end to make a huge square, I put 2 2X3 cheap $5 Below stoarge shelves in the middle ( i can access them thru the opens in the back of some of the cubbies). Anyways I and put 1/2 a sheet of plywood on top of the square and now i have a 4'X4' desk in the middle of my packed craft room.

I love audio books. They are awesome. Also, I wad my sheets up too but I store them in their pillowcase. Works great 😊.

That's a great idea!

I LOVE MY KINDLE!! I was like you and never thought I would be able to read without holding an actual book. My book recommendations are Any of Francine Rivers. If you have never read any of her books, I would start with Redeeming Love, The Antonement Child, and Leota’s Garden. Also Beverly Lewis books are wonderful as well. Also, if you have not read Where the Crawdads Sing, it is a must.

I started out with a Nook (through Barnes & Noble), and eventually switched to Kindle, because I'm such an avid reader and have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. I still have a collection of physical books and will buy them cheap at thrift stores because I love a good bargain, but most of my reading now is on my Paperwhite. It mimics a real book page better than the backlit, tablet-style Kindles.

Really great ideas. Born in the Air Force I fold my sheets. I have used those Affresh washer and dishwasher tablets and I loved them too. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed evening. 😘❤️🤗🙏🏻 Lisa

I have kindle and i love it especially when we travel but I do like a real book every now and then. Thanks for the craft tool update and my favorite part of your videos is your bloopers. You are human and make boo boos just like we do and yours are hilarious.

I am a avid reader and I am a huge Kindle lover. I love having hundreds of books at my fingertips and I love that it is easy to take the Kindle on the go if I want too. With that being said, I also love the app on my phone for those times I don't have my Kindle with me but am stuck somewhere. I can see read my books on my phone. Love too, that I don't disturb anyone when I'm reading with my Kindle late at night in a hotel room. BookBub is a great way to get discounted books, there are always free ones in the mix as well. The Ryder Creed K-9 Mystery series are great books, especially since you love dogs. Hugs, Brenda

I'm so glad you did another favorites video. I really liked your January favorites. I love that you give updates and also tell us about things that didn't work. I added the glue pen to my cart. I think it would be great for paper crafting. I am asking for a FFF membership for Mother's Day, so thanks for sharing that. Can't wait for the Mystery Box next week!

I've been a Kindle user for at least 10 years--absolutely love mine. Plus I don't disturb my hubby while turning the pages of a regular book when I'm reading before bed. 😊

Love my Kindle, my husband gave me one for Christmas 7 years ago. I follow James Patterson, Lisa Gardner, Sue Watson and many others. Thanks for the new product recommendations.

Courtney, love your videos. I needed a laugh and the end of this one did it. Thank you!!

Courtney, I really enjoyed your blooper. Thank you for sharing all these great items.

You are so welcome!

That cutter looks great. I hope you will be using so we can see it in action...all those blades are included? When you held it up at first, it reminded me of the cutter on my plastic wrap. It has a little blade that you just run across to cut wrap instead of pulling against a blade that never seems to go straight. And the glue pen seems like it could be a great alternative when doing small stuff. Now...back to the video...really appreciate all this. 👍🏻🥰

Hi Courtney, I love both kindle and "real" books. And I read both all the time. Thanks for sharing all your finds.

I love your out takes and cute bloopers! 😂❤

I love the Affresh, too! Great haul with great tools and ideas! As always, Courtney, thank you for sharing your ideas with us! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

Love the Gummy Bear coasters! ❤

I listen to books In my car. I listen to them through a free library app from my area. I have to have a library card through your library. I was like you I stopped reading books because I fell asleep! It works out great on long trips, it makes the trip seem a lot shorter!

I have always been an avid reader, waiting excitedly for each Weekly Reader order to come around so I could get new books. I married a reader and together we taught our children the importance of reading. When we built our home twenty years ago I drew up plans for the architect to change the formal dining room into our home library to fill with books. I was also a reading teachers assistant. It was joyful turning struggling students into avid readers. I love to read so much that I'll read anything with words on it if I didn't have a book with me. I never ever would have thought I'd go digital. I thought I'd try it after a couple of times being in the city shopping and sitting in the car while hubby got a haircut or into a golf shop. I was hooked! I always have a few books purchased so I no longer and anywhere without something to read.

Love the Kindle! You can download books for free from the library. Read Robyn Carr the Virgin River series.

I, too, am a Kindle reader. I like that I can increase the size of the font so I can read easier as I have vision issues.

I read books on my iPad through the kindle app. But I also love “real” books. When I’m traveling I love to listen to audiobooks with Audible. So basically, books in any form!

I was a die-hard physical book only kind of girl but I’m not in love with my kindle! I’m loving the Outlander book series!

I don''t have a Kindle but do have an ereader, I love it. I love being able to have multiple books on it. I just told someone the other day how if I can't get it on my reader I probably won't read the book. It's much easier to carry around than a stack of books.

Love the kindle. I have moved to audible books so I can quilt and craft at the same. TFS

I LOVE my Kindle! I was anti e-reader for years, traveling with a bunch of paperbacks. I have downloaded at least 500 books since getting it. Amazon offers hundreds of free ebooks. I rarely pay for any books. And I always fold my sheets! Girl, it's not hard.

I bough that hot glue pen a couple of months ago and just LOVE it!

I've had my Kindle for years and love it.

I'm a kindle girl! I've had a kindle unlimited subscription for almost 8 years. I'm also disabled and don't drive and can read 4 to 5 books a week. A couple of my faves are Clive Cussler and James Rollins, although they are not in KU

I've been really happy with Expressions Vinyl

😂❤ at those bloopers!

Love Kindle. The light is what sold me. I’m 68 and it’s hard to see without good lighting. I read Christian literature and here are some authors you might enjoy Mary Connealy, Sophie’s Daughters, funny and great! Montana Marriages Trilogy. Lynnette Eason, Christy Barritt, Lori Wick.

The paper cutter looks super cool as I can't cut a straight line to save my life😂

Kindle for sure. I like Linda Ford books, The Halverson Series by Kimberly Rae Jordan... and a ton more books. We owned a Christian Book Store for several years so I have also read the paper books too, but Kindle is my favorite.

I became a Nook owner (also a Kindle app on my Nook...just in case 😊) when I was moving and donated 300 books for the 3rd time!!! I love my Nook. Until recently, I had 1100+ books on it but decided to declutter and get rid of books I'll no longer read, don't like, or can't finish. Down to about 725 now. I miss books but, as I've gotten older I realize how much easier it is to read my Nook. I can increase the font size, add brightness (especially in the sun) and it's easier on my eyes. #Nook4Ever Recommendations: JR Ward, Ilona Andrews, Lydia Hawke, Keri Arthur, Nora Roberts, JD Robb, Jayne Ann Krents, Rachel Hanna, Mia Kent...and so many more!

I loved this video. Thanks for sharing.

I love books but I have had a kindle for years. I don't have a lot of room for books, so the kindle works well. I do keep special books, like crafting or series of books that I will read over. I just need to have some books around.

Love, love my kindle! My favorite has been Amish Romance novels.

There was a lot of fun items in this! I loved this video, Courtney! Fab, fit fun was super fun for a time for me. Loved it! Hit me up if you need self tanning tips, I'm a redheaded pro! LOL

Because I'm a sheet roll up too. Here's a hack for you.Take your pillowcase Roll up your sheets.😮 And put him in the pillow case and then fold the Top of the pillowcase over. And there you have your neat folded cheats in a nice square.

Just finished a YA series I loved. The inheritance games, I also love anything by Lisa Jewel. I listen to books, use my kindle and regular books. I usually have a book on tape and a reading book going at the same time

Love the bloopers! #real life

Great video! Very helpful

You made me laugh. Yes, I'm an old fashioned book girl. I agree with all the things you said. I'm not totally against the kindle, main feature I like is you can carry more reading material around easier. How long does it hold a charge? What if you're at the beach and it dies and you can't charge it right away? How about if the power goes out? I know mute point. Another reason I like books (at least ones I actually own, is I can make notes in the margins.😁. As far as the stone bath mats go, Sutera is the way to go. I have one and it works wonderfully. It's one piece and does not slide and dries almost instently. Thanks for all your wonderful inspiration.

I am a book reader. A Kindle doesn't have the old page scent that I love.

❤❤❤❤ my kindle!!

Nice things ♥️

I’m a sheet folder. But I’ve always folded my sheet sets and then I put the set in one of the pillow cases that is of that set this keeps my linen closet somewhat organized but I think if I get those collapsing boxes and folding them I’d be able to get a few sets in one cutting down on the stacks of stuffed pillow cases. Lol. Thanks again for another great tips video.

I LOVE my kindle. Books , you need to read “gone with the wind”. It goes into more detail. Read the Outlander series.

Omg!! You are hilarious!!

Listen, the ideas and suggestions are amazing! BUT the bloopers at the end!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh I love love love!!!!! ❤❤❤

I read Kindle books on my iPad. I signed up for kindle unlimited and found several series I enjoy that I can read for free (with my monthly subscription).

The last item I like to try. I've been rolling my sheets in a ball, too. I need to organize both of my linen closets. They are horrible!

i do both kindle and books. just finished run rose run by James Patterson and Dolly Parton, loved it. thank you for sharing going to amazon now😁

I forgot to say I'm a kindle reader I'm an avid reader and so the kindle works for me, I've read probably umm 80 books last year and really I think it's closer to 100 or more I've have to count but I love reading so there you go.

I have a pen glue gun, but it's a different brand that I was gifted I don't care for it though. I am a die hard book in hand reader, but I do have the Kindle app on my phone along with 3 library apps, so I can read if I am somewhere and I have to wait for some reason, very handy. The library apps are really handy if I find I'm missing a book in a series. That paper cutter looks really handy.

Book recommendation …. Check out the Bellingwood series by Diane Greenwood Muir. There are over 30 books & vignettes in her series with about 3-4 added each year. They are easy to read & a great combination of mystery and family friendly books.

I am a reader...any where, any time, any how!!! LOVE my books, I do have a kindle. Was crazy about it for a while but found myself still enjoying my books. LOVE going to the bookstore, etc. All that to say, I prefer a book but read on my kindle as well (for convenience or lighting some times, etc.) What genre & or author do you like & I can probably rattle a list off 😂. Also, I NEED that glue pen & paper cutter 🤔. Yeah, need...js. Thank you, I always like your reviews.

I'm definitely an eReader person. I'm not sure what genre of books you like but I'm reading Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone Series (cozy mysteries). Also, anything by Mary Higgins Clark or James Patterson is good too.

I love using the kindle! Mine disappeared when the kids moved out. I have yet to find it 😔 I have been using the kindle app on my phone in the meantime! I have been zooming through the Crescent City series 😊 I am going to look in to the sure bonder, as I despisey glue gun 😉 Thanks for including us in the fun!!

Hello Courtney, I am a die hard book reader. I have a kindle, and I hate reading from that. Once in a while I MAY(still I read better) listen to audio books. But that again is iffy. I have gotten my love of books from my grandma(Nanny we called her).

Hi Courtney, I hope you are doing well. I was a die hard book reader after many years of not reading at all, No time. Now i have a kindle i don't read that much anymore its not that i don't like it i just don't have time to sit and read i have a farm now and animals in the farm i have two more horses coming full sized horses each just over 15 hands high. If i am not pulling thistles with my bare hands because i forgot my gloves in the barn i am mucking out stalls or picking up muck from the last horse that used my paddock or something needs moving or fixing or i am still trying to get my craft room the way i want it or i am buying supplies so i can try out card making or other crafts i have always wanted to try. i hate to admit but i bring in half the barn sometimes in my shoes saw, dust, shavings, hay, straw and this time of the year fur enough to make another mini and no muck so far but the journey is still new i hope not. But it is life on a farm what can you do it is what it is. or i am cleaning my house three floors with just the two of us here you would think it shouldn't get too dirty, you would be wrong about that i still have to make time to go riding as well to exercise the horses while training a 7 year old mini with an attitude as big as the USA on steroids the little bugger, its a short time before he gets it and he surprised me the last couple of days because he backs up and waits for me to put his bucket on the hook and me walk away from it before he goes hog wild at his bucket Trust me this for a food aggressive mini is a step in the right direction. Anyways as usual Courtney you are amazing and i am glad i finally got you in my feed. love the finds now i have to go and feed and water and clean out my minis for a second time today. I get my animals from rescues because they need help first always have always will. As far as reading goes i have a ton of reference books most of them on home décor or home improvement jewelry making wire wrapping and other crafts as well as gardening and horses lots of books about them veterinarian books on horses of all shapes and sizes. so reading stories or biographies, I have one book i haven't even started yet on Camilla, now Queen Camilla, i was a bit reluctant to read it because, i was on The Princess of Wales (Diana) Side when the story broke of Charles Now king Charles having an affair as sad as the story goes in real time i have heard good things about our new Queen so i will let you know how the book is when i read it. I have the whole series of books from the Dragon Lance series of books. There are a lot of them, You have to start at the beginning to get the story and how it plays out is key so don't confuse yourself get book 1 in series one, i used to take the book to work and at the time, i was taking the bus so i had 30 -40 minutes where i could read then another 20 minutes walk to work everyday there and back to the bus stop and at lunch and on the way home. If you like fantasy books i would recommend them to anyone. I would get so into each of the characters that if something happened to one of them, i would have tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably, it was pitiful. But the story is about dragons and dragon riders and it is by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman,, Save yourself some money and get the Chronicles you get three books in one so it continues on where the other left off, and i have just found two that i haven't read yet. Great books great characters great Authors and great series of books. Absolutely loved the journey they take you on amazing. They will keep you hooked if you are into dragons and fantasy books. Right the animals aren't going to feed themselves thanks Courtney see you soon, Take care and God bless.

I use both my Kindle and both book
