Preparing to be Vendors at a Fantasy/Ren Faire, + Our New and Improved Blind Dates with a Book

Watch as we prep our new versions of Blind Dates with a Book for the Fantasy Faire in Mariposa, CA!
This was originally going to be a much longer video but my phone would not export the version that also included our time at the Faire, so that will be coming out this Saturday instead.
At the end, I chat about Dragonology. Please tell us in the comments if you also loved that book as a kid and which dragon is your favorite! Gotta get in that fantasy headspace, you know? 🐉🧙🏼‍♀️🧝🏼‍♀️✨
Thank you for watching and for your patience in between uploads! We really do want to post weekly but have been having practically nonstop technical difficulties. To be transparent, we film on our phones and everything for TH-cam gets edited on my iPhone 11, which overheats pretty much constantly, crashes, and won’t export files sometimes just because it doesn’t feel like it. Eventually I will ourchase a laptop for editing but this is what we’ve got for now!

🌞 FAQS:
Where are you located?
- 945 12th St, Suite C, Paso Robles, CA 93446
(downtown, very close to the park, for anyone wanting to visit!)
Do you ship internationally?
- Unfortunately not; due to the heavy nature of books, it costs anywhere between $40-100 to ship one of our mystery boxes to anywhere outside of the US. If you really want to support us and are willing to pay that much in addition to the price of the product, just send us an email and we can work with you to ensure you get your books! But we also encourage you to find your own locally-owned bookstore and support them! ❤️

I had a copy of Dragonology when I was a child too and yeah, what a gorgeous find! Totally get why you're keeping it for yourself 😊

This was so fun to watch. :) One of my favorites so far!

[@bookshopbesties]

Aww thank you, that makes me so happy!

[@angeltaynara]

The way I laughed when you mentioned the vacuums and their names lol 😂 “Rhysand always gets the job done” 😂

[@jacquiheywood3142]

So happy to see a vlog from you two. I really enjoy the calm vibe and hearing how the book shop is going. 😊

[@BrambleAndPages]

I love seeing how the shop is coming along. It is very inspiring

[@lovers625]

it's crazy how busy the shop gets! I am so happy for you two

[@bookshopbesties]

I know, it really gets full of people sometimes! It’s especially cool when big families come in and just spend 30+ minutes looking and everyone gets a few things, it’s just such a good feeling and so lovely that people come here to spend some time 🥲💕

Cilo and Carla, I love you and I’ll always admire your Timelapse scenes you’ve been doing a lot from your GoPro. I hope to buy one of your best books in your store too.

[@Glub2]

Another great video BSB! ❤

[@alangiles776]

Hi 🙂
📚 I think that most of us wish we had our own book store. I wish I could look through your shelves through the screen. You both put so much into your bookstore to make it an enjoyable experience for your customers. I hope you are both well.
