I don't typically like lit fic but that Kavalier and Clay book sounds so good I already borrowed it from the library!

Love this video. House in the Cerulean Sea was a good choice to pick up again to help distract you from stress. 💗 It is one of my all-time favorites as well. I've always said it should be required reading in schools but here we are.....😶

Karaaaaa can we see some specials where you build different book characters and their homes in the Sims…… 🤠

Soooo many of these are also on my tbr!!!

I am excited to hear your thoughts on these! I really enjoyed Demon Copperhead and Pachinko. I also have The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Cloud Cuckoo Land, and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell on my TBR.

Loved this video! Lit fic is my fave, so you talking about what you‘re excited for got me super excited too

I gave song of Achilles a 3.5 and I felt so sad about it

I haven't read any of these books but I do own several of them😂📚🖋️

Told you 2nd comment I watch your vedios too

Hey Kara, I know you enjoy literary fiction, and I think you’d really connect with The Echoes Within by Alex Hartwell. It's a story that explores memory, identity, and the essence of who we are, all wrapped in a thought-provoking narrative. The book is available for free on Barnes & Noble, Fabble, Kobo, and will soon be on all major book platforms. I’d love for you to read it and share your thoughts!

I've heard cardigan was about her fans 👐 idk but I think she just dedicated it to Matty like she did with karma and Travis.

Chloe or Sam Sophia or Marcus are all names of different wines. 🤔

sims is so so fun! i play with a lot of mods 😂

⏳loved this! Space freaks me out lol. So nice seeing a doable challenge like this 💚

Your reaction was everything!!! SO glad you loved them, thank you Kara 🤍 you are the sweetest Definitely going to try implementing this habit too. Life with a baby means not lots of reading, so 20 minutes seems more doable for me 😅💞

I still haven’t read red rising 😭

⏲️ Loved this!! Great video, Kara!! I'm going to start the 20-minute reading challenge today. Omg, I was at a book fair this weekend and had Orbital in my hand, and for whatever reason, I put it back. I'm definitely adding it to my wishlist, as well as The House in the Cerulean Sea.Thanks for sharing! P.S. I want a bowl of frozen mango pieces. Have you had frozen grapes before? They're soooo good! I just throw some in a container and place it in the freezer and enjoy the next day.

Love this idea, and it's a great idea for a 2025 goal. I might add it to my sticker chart...

this is such a great idea. I need to add this to my routine. <3

Omg I love that you watch Kayla/lilsimsie 🥰 She’s awesome and so are you!

⏳️ ⏳️ loved the video, this was really eye-opening for me, going to start implementing this in my day.

Are you releasing an updated version for 2025?

Thank you for making this video. I keep hearing good things about TJ Klune.

I waited to watch this until I had finished the book and I am so glad I did because I think your thoughts on the book are more meaningful after having read it myself. Also, I have no clue if you know how to play chess, but if you do you should take a closer look at the cover, and if you don't you should have someone that plays chess take a look at the cover, because they put so much thought into that cover. I asked my boyfriend what the pieces were on the cover after I finished the book (the top down perspective was confusing for me and I don't know how to play chess) and he started looking at how the pieces were placed on the board and how they could play from the position they are at. I almost threw my book across the room.

I am going through grief anxiety depression and my wife has dementia so I’m struggling with everything at the moment so I’m looking forward to seeing your video and finding some good books 📚 to read prayers and blessings for you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤

Thank you so much for this timely video. I think we could all use some escapism and warm hugs in the form of books. First comes self care, then comes the feminine rage book recommendations 😅

Sending love and support back to you! 💚 Great list of books; TJ Klune is a new favorite author of mine.

need to get this book asap!! Love how excited you were while reading it and how thoughtful your review was

This was such a good vlog, and the book is stunning. I’ve been searching for a book to give me this feeling ever since I read it…

I’m sorry you’ve been going through some hard times but I’m glad you decided not to kill the video - sometimes it’s good to remember that we’re all just human. Love your videos, you always make my day 😊
