We went to a local book festival, met a couple authors and got signed books, went camping, and read a cozy mystery book! I also tried one of the recipes in the cozy mystery book, Gone for Gouda. It was a delicious “adult” grilled cheese and I highly recommend this cozy series and...

I have so many highly-anticipated books on my fall TBR, and there’s something from romance, mystery/thriller, literary fiction, and (of course-it’s spooky season too!) horror. If you like the seasonal TBR idea, let me know! Thanks for ...

Come spend a day with me Little Free Library hunting!

Laura, your ability to communicate is truly impressive. I think you have a natural talent for presenting and narrating. It would be great if you could use this talent and start your own reaction channel. I'm confident you'll be very successful and gain a lot of followers😅
Would you let me be the protagonist of your novel? I guarantee I'll be a captivating character (˵ ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°˵)ノ⌒♡*:・。.
this new year has brought a real new energy in reading. i’ve been on my reading game.. these books will absolutely be on my bucket list this year
Love that!! Wishing you a great reading year. 💕
My favorites were Part of Your World, Yours Truly, and Just For Summer by Abby Jimenez
I’ve heard nothing but good things about that series! Definitely going to start with Part of Your World soon.
That cozy mystery sounded cute
💕🧀
You had an awesome reading year! Yes, to Harry Potter! That is definitely one of my favorite books! Yes, to “Before I Let Go” too!
Yes!! I can’t wait to continue both of those series this year! 💕
What a great reading year!! 😀👏 I love that you’re not afraid to DNF, that definitely helps to keep your average rating higher and to enjoy the books you actually read. I loved None of This Is True, Southern Book Club, and Eleanor Oliphant and I really want to read Before I Let Go and Death Valley! And happy one year on BookTube, my one year anniversary is coming up too! ❤️
We always have quite a few in common! Love that for us. 💕 happy 2025, friend! I hope it’s a great reading year for you!
And congrats on your one year too!!!
I'm about to read Cheddar off dead FINALLY! 😂I just got the whole HP box set & the first illustrated book for Christmas. So excited to re-read HP this year. My favorite book of 2024 was The women. You had a great reading year and Happy one year on booktube!
I definitely want to get to The Women this year!! I’m so excited to read the rest of HP (hopefully!) with the group this year too! I’m glad they decided to do that so it can motivate me to finish the series… I didn’t expect to love the first one as much as I did, honestly! Hope you like Cheddar Off Dead!!
Hello Friend! You had an amazing year. I love that you enjoyed reading so much and that you also enjoyed a lot of books that I enjoyed too. Eleanor Oliphant is going to be read very soon for me if you want to buddy read :). I hope that you have an another amazing reading year and I can't wait to see your channel grow. 2024 was so amazing this year because I met you :)
I’ll gladly re-read Eleanor Oliphant with you! Thanks so much, friend!! I’m grateful for 2024 bringing us together as well. Wishing you a great year too!!!
Cow!!!
🐮 💕
I look forward to hearing what you thought of Then She Was Gone. I read that last year and I can't get pieces of it out of my head!
Oh my gosh, that’s good to know! I definitely want to get to that one this winter.
I remember goosebumps! Loved those books! Happy reading!😊
Memorial and the Kitchen Front sounds really good
Yes! I’m excited for both of those. They sound right up my alley.
You have me wanting to read and collect Goosebumps again.
They’re so fun to read again! But no where close to being as scary as I remember them! 😆
AWE..Thank you so much for the mention, you are so sweet! I LOVED Spellshop and that Peter Pan is gorgeous! I plan to read Peter Pan in January as well, maybe I should join the fun!! I got a 1930's copy of it that is amazing. I am so glad that TH-cam brought us together this year. You are such a treasure and a sweet friend. HUGS and Merry Christmas!!🤗💖😻💞
Of course!! Oooh I love a good vintage edition too. That’s awesome. Thanks so much, friend! You’re the best!! 💕🎄📚 Merry Christmas!
This sounds like the perfect fall weekend!
All caught up. I've watched all your videos :)
Oh my gosh, you’re so sweet. Thank you!
Happy coming-up anniversary! ❤ It looks like it was a fun hike, but your cows REALLY wanted to come with you. 🐮
Thanks so much!! 💕 I think the cows thought the farmer was coming with food for them. Lol 😆
That camping trip looked so idyllic and a perfect date night!! 💚🧡 camping!
Thank you!! It was so fun. 💕
Absolutely inspiring and incredible video as always 👍🏻
Absolutely inspiring books! Outstanding video as always 👍🏻
Brilliant video 👍🏻
hey Laura! yeah! Oh I love the cheese shop series soooo much!!!! ok, the rooster can totally did that on purpose! lol lol the September house really looks really creepy the traveling cat chronicles sounds awesome! so so sorry to hear about your dad!!! It's so hard!! Thinking and praying for you!
Thanks so much, Tiffany! Sonia loves The Traveling Cat Chronicles, so that’s where I heard about it! So, so cute.
Laura, I'm so sorry about your Dad. I can't imagine how hard it must be... You are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻
Thank you, friend. 💕
I am watching your videos very nice funny. Videos will gain the popularity among people in a short time. I think your channel can do a lot of good in a very short period of time but due to a little problems the videos are not reaching people so the subscribers, views, comments are comparatively less. can we talk to get rid of this people's
I really appreciate for your content ! would you please tell me whats your goal in this platform ?
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's so hard to lose a parent. I loved the layout of this video. I know you shouldn't judge things too early, but that first chapter of a book can really set the feeling for you, and I love those quick reviews/takes. I look forward to hearing your review of a few of other top contenders. Some have been on my list, too! I am very interested in starting some of the 'cozy mysteries' you've been recommending this fall - especially as I make my list and head to the library later today!
Thank you so much for all the kind words! 💕 I’m so behind on filming a proper review video… I’m doing a big one soon of all the books I haven’t talked about in the past several months to catch up! 😆
I'm so sorry for your loss friend. ❤This was a great video! I love try a chapter vlogs. I'm going to have to try the traveling cat chronicles.
I think you’d probably like TTCC! It’s such a sweet story. Bring tissues!!
Love your chickens! 🐓 The Traveling Cat Chronicles sounds like something I’d enjoy. I felt the same way about Remarkably Bright Creatures. I enjoyed What Moves the Dead. I’m a Poe fan, and I think it’s a good retelling of “The Fall of the House of Usher.” I’ve wanted to read The September House and The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires for awhile. I recently read Horrorstor. Loved this video, Laura. You always have fun ways of picking your books. I’m in awe that you can put on makeup while coherently talking about a book. I would have poked myself in the eye 👁️ or forgot I was talking about a book. 😂 Glad you enjoyed The Cat Chronicles. Big hugs! 🤗
Thank you, Kat!! I just finished up What Moves the Dead too, and I also enjoyed it and thought it was a great retelling of Poe. I’ve been to his home in Baltimore where he lived with his aunt and cousin/wife. Saw where they were buried in Baltimore too-it’s so surreal!
@ What an awesome adventure! I’d love to visit Poe’s house, and to see where he’s buried. I’d also like to visit his museum in Richmond, VA. I’m glad you enjoyed What Moves the Dead. I will reread it again whenever I get around to reading the sequel.
🧡🧡🧡🧀🧀🧀🍁🍁🍁
I’m real interested in “Gone for Gouda”. First, I love cheese. Second, I like cozy mysteries. Third, I’m interested because of your review of the first book. I loved the vlogging outdoors.
If you like cheese + cozy mystery, I think you’d love the series!! I love vlogging outdoors too-my other channel is mostly that! 💕 hope you’re doing well, friend!
@@Laura_ReadsI’m hanging in here. Dealing with the loss of my mom has been hard. I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. 💜🙏🏾
@ oh that’s so tough, I’m so sorry for your loss!! Sending prayers to you and your family as well. 💕🙏🏻
Thank you for including GONE FOR GOUDA! I’m glad it intrigued you!
I’m SO behind in editing videos, but spoiler: The next vlog is ALL about reading Gone for Gouda and making one of the recipes! 💕🧀
@ oh wow! Can’t wait. Thank you!
Laura!! I wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in participating in a Booktuber Collaboration I am doing for Bookmas? I tried to find your email and couldn't or your IG but if you're interested, email or DM me!!
So thirsty and the September House sounds really good.
By the time I finished editing this vlog and positing it, I’ve finished The September House. That was the next one I picked up, and it was SO good. Haven’t read So Thirsty yet but I’m getting there! Thanks for watching. 💕
I liked this vlog, was cool to get your perspective on each book. I am so glad you loved The Traveling Cat Chronicles. It may be my most recommended book. It has so much heart but also hope. I am sending you the biggest hugs my sweet friend. I hope you enjoy every book you read this season and always. Love you big. <3
It will be one I recommend now too!! 🐈💕 so, so good. Love the way it ended and so many great lines that I want to remember. Thank you, my sweet friend. Love you too!!
This is very Heartwarming and very wonderful and very beautiful and very adorable and very helpful and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).
such a great tbr!! 🍁✨🫶🏼
Thank you!! 💕🎉
Hey Laura! the CHEESE SHOP!! One of my favorite cozy mystery series!!YEAH!! #TEAMCHEESE love Kristin Hannah! hope you enjoy all your reads!
Thanks so much!! 💕🧀🌾
You have a lot of good books on your list. I am also a sucker for any book set in MO!
I just started reading Clown in a Cornfield based on the fictional (I think?) MO town of Kettle Springs. The main character reminds me of my reaction when I first moved to our small MO town after living in the city/suburbs my whole life. Lol 😆
@@Laura_Reads 😂😂
The national parks map is so lovely! plus a lovely selection of tbr books to read over the next couple of months. Me and my partner have a fall anniversary too... definitely the best time of year!
I love that! Happy anniversary to you both!! 💕
I loved the song of Achilles but I put it in a lfl cause I wasn’t going to reread it. I also loved the Aristocats movie too!! I got it for Christmas on dvd for my portable DVD player. My grandparents took me out to get a movie and that was my pick
That’s so sweet! Aristocats is a classic for sure-excellent choice! 💕🐈
The Traveling Cat Chronicles is very sweet. You've picked out lots of great books for Autumn. 🍂🍁
I just finished Traveling Cat Chronicles-it broke my heart and filled it somehow at the same time. Beautiful story! 💕 thank you, Tammy!
I really enjoyed Gone for Gouda and the whole cheese shop series. I hope you enjoy it as well! The Fall books I'm most looking forward to are Bell, Book, and Corpses by TC LoTempio (Halloween themed) and In the Blink of a Pie by Catherine Bruns (Thanksgiving themed).
I started Gone for Gouda this weekend, and it’s good so far! Really feels like right back there with Willa and friends. 💕🧀 the Halloween and Thanksgiving themed cozies sound good too! I’ll have to look I into those. Thanks for sharing!
@@Laura_Reads Both of these series are favorites of mine and I recommend them. I'll let you know what I think of these new books. The Halloween one comes out at the end of this month so I will know about that one soon. It's vampire related too which is fun since this series isn't paranormal.
Bell, Book, and Corpses the vampire/Halloween themed cozy in the Nick and Nora mystery by TC LoTempio was fantastic! I just finished reading it and couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book and the series as a whole!
@@catreadsbooks thanks so much for the update!!
Thank you, Cat!
I wanted to read the September House ❤
I hope it’s a good one!!
Omg I also got “So Thirsty!” ❤
I think that’s a popular one this fall for sure!
I loved the Four Winds ❤
I can’t wait to read that one! I’ve heard I need to bring tissues 😢
I’m also reading T. Kingfischer for the first time also! 😊
Yay!!!
Now I’m hungry for cheese 😂
Oh my gosh… the way she describes the cozy settings and the cheeeeese in that book-makes my mouth water!
Yay for your fall tbr ❤
Hope you enjoy all your autumn reading.
Thanks so much! Same to you!
