Girl, whaaatt? That employee was trippin! That’s a sign to just stick to the Barnes where Sister Kristi is at👏👏 Loved this vlog and your friend! Your personality is so fun and makes me smile!!
I work at B&N and I've never been told to stop people from filming in the store. That guy was just being rude for no reason. At my store we would be thankful to have someone promoting our books!!! Love your vids btw!❤
I ADORE historical fiction!! Especially when it has a little court/royal political spice in it 💕 I love it almost as much as I love your videos 🤗 watching this video just made my morning!
Katee Robert is so good! Their first book in that series was Neon Gods! :) I really loved the Wicked Villains series, it's spicy Disney characters. Hope you enjoy your books!
I was cackling at them saying something about making a documentary! 😂 I’ll have to add Confluence to my list of places to visit. Also, the floofy pup’s valentine pic was too adorable.
I loved this vlog Alex. The vibes with your friends were awesome. Keep up the great content. Loved the video despite the Karens at Barnes and Noble plus Walmart.
Alex… You should read a Court of Thorns and Roses!!!! It’s a great series to start especially if you’re not into fantasy. This series is what will get you hooked!! I promise!!
It’s a re-read of the first Magnolia Parks but I haven’t read any of the others. But I am going to read them all so I can see why everyone is crying and all the feels for MP-into the dark.
❤ I was about to go to bed and what do I see a new video! Yay Happy Valentine’s Day friend’s! Yay, to meeting new friends! Arianna is awesome! Yes, Mediterranean food is awesome made me 😋 hungry. Glad you gave it a try, girlie! Miss Sister Kristie. I ❤ historical fiction !
Wow 🤨 total Karens indeed. The employees at that Barnes and Walmart were totally off. I've never heard of this or even saw anyone who films while book shopping being told not to film which is strangely odd because it does help with promoting books thanks to tiktok, youtube, along with other social media platforms. I'm honestly so glad you girls left. Totally killed the vibes 😵 I hope you both get a better experience next time, you guys deserve it! Btw you should totally read The Silent Patient- it's really good!! 🧡😆📖
Such a sweet vlog hanging with your friend! ❤ Happy Valentine's 🌹 Too bad 2 places had to kill your bookish outing. Loved the guy at the small bookstore. This was a great documentary 😂
That dude was crazy but the thing is…. He’s right I guess. Strangely but I agree with you that they get free advertising so who cares?!?! I loved this vid, Alex! I also love Harlan Coben, his books have some crazy twists toward the end.
Hi Alex, I don't read romance. I'm a thriller, mystery and horror girly, but I ended buying the dark romance book Sister Christie suggested " Gothikana" . I look forward to reading it. I like the name of that used bookstore too. Great Vlog! 💕🤗💕 By the way, I would love to buy one of your cousin's bookish shirts; is her info linked in the description box? I didn't see it.
New subscriber here. Love your energy and the way you vlog. 🥰 You girls need to read unfixable by Tessa Bailey. It's a series, and it's the second book. But this one is super niiiiice. Also, my girl (who passed last year) Elizabeth Reyes. All her books, slow burn, a good storyline, and smutt. You're welcome. 😉
I loved Me Before You 😭🤎 He said that was weird of them?! Ummm no that was weird of him! F that B&N 🤣 I love a good Walmart book section👌🏾 Y’all are so cute 🤣🤎
Bring on the long vidoes .... I'm excited for the new release of Tia Williams book, K.R 's new release. Christina B Jones is one of my favorites along some Asia Monique, Neta Jackson ( The Ya Ya Prayer Group) . It's a 10 book series.
When you said Antonio Banderas didnt age well i had to google him 😢, he was my childhood crush. Its a shame those bookstores dont understand the value of vlogs and marketing ❤
I just read my 1st B.A Paris book (The Guest). It was comparable to Sister Fredia but make it Brittish. A little slower paced and it had no language or sexual content. Would recommend.
@@alexandriahurley sorry alex!! the romance aspects are amazing! but that’s only a subplot, idk if you’d like the main fantasy plot 😬 but it’s an easy read (the first book in the series) so if you read it and like it then def try more fantasy and the rest of the series 🤗
Nah sis definitely file a complaint with corporate I search all over Barnes and noble policies and guidelines and I don’t see anywhere that they prohibit filming. I would at the very least report him and ask for the policy with official issue date on it. Cause nah!
Please read A Court of Thorns and Roses omg it is SO SO good!!!!! I promise you won't be disappointed. Book 1 is great and get to book 2 and you will have a FUN FUN time!!
The guy at Barnes was incorrect. It is a public business. You are allowed to film anywhere in public. The only time you have to request to film in a public place is in federal buildings and hospitals. That Barnes guy was a prick.
Stores are IN the public space, but the store itself is private property, and they can enforce no-filming rules if they want to. Idk if it's standard B&N policy or not, but it could very well be the preference of the person who runs that particular store. Or maybe that employee was new and was told about this rule and still very eager to follow the rules, even though other employees don't care about filming. However, even in public spaces there are still rules and privacy laws to think of when filming. Most people don't care, and it's almost impossible to enforce with how much gets filmed and posted and shared, but theoretically, you're not allowed to just film everything and everywhere just because it's in public. It's all quite complex, and you'd probably have to take it up with B&N to really get a conclusive answer.
Alex you should try one of Kattee Robert Books!!!!! Her Dark Olympus series is so good! I haven’t read all of them I just pick the tropes/storylines i like so I only read half of them so I agree with your friend that hades one wasn’t perfect but the stories plot does interconnect and I’m obsessedddd I already finished the new one that came out in January and I can’t waitttt for the next one that’s coming out at the end of the year! Also that B&N were being Karen’s fr 😪😩
Alex you should read “The House of Eve”. It is a historical fiction with romance elements. It was really good!!!! It was one of my favorite reads on 2023.
Excuse me, sir?!? He clearly doesn’t know he’s dealing with booktube royalty!! I would have left too. After watching this, I’m going to have to find a place around here that has crepes… STAT! 😋 Thank you for blessing us with a 40 minute video. ❤
Wow, seems like that worker made that up, since he couldn't even say who to ask for permission...didn't make sense...I love to read historical fiction and I also write it too! Have you tried regency romance? I'm a regency romance girl. I'm writing one currently. :) I do try to read a bit of everything though.
Ugh! What was up with Barnes and Walmart? I’ve seen many bookstore vlogs and no stores be acting like that. Love the videos. Despite the rudeness, look like you and your friend had fun. Now I want crepes. 😁
I know the EXACT TH-camr y’all talking about and omg I used to loveeeeee her!!! But yeah she get her surgery and I was likeee…damn ok😭 now I don’t even watch her try on hauls no more. But anyways loveeed this video❤️
" Coming home with me to seduce me!" Had me rolling lol! Your so much fun to watch! Also wicked beauty caught my interest as im a big fan of greek mythology.
Omg I was a little perturbed with SRV for the same reasons 😂😂 I love her and just stopped watching the weight loss content! The book stuff is really great ❤
Girl!! The highlight to my night- Your Vlog!!! Oh, I really think you may like this dark romance novel I ate up this weekend- “Untouchable- A Bully Story.”❤😉💅 Thank me later😈
Ok, hear me out…I know you like your smut lol but I was reading STILL BEATING by Jennifer Hartman BUT I only made it through PART ONE. I’ve heard such good things about it, but it may be too dark for me as it was my first “Dark Romance” and would love for you to do a READING VLOG on that book and to hear your thoughts! Whether you love it or hate it, I would LOVE to see you VLOG that! Xo
The way I got so mad when he told you to not film 🙄. I like historical fiction it’s what I started with when I got into reading, however I don’t read much of it anymore. #darkromancegirly4life😂
Ok hear me out sunshine’s I don’t know why I like that name so much but yeah that would be so cool if you could call us that as a name for your fans I like it a lot 🌇
I can kinda understand why they may not want you to film. I wouldn't be surprised if there are booktubers out there that are disrespectful when they film, also regular people may not want their faces on film and I've watched some booktubers who don't blur out faces or keep their cameras away from people. To be honest, I wouldn't want to be in someone's video unless I approved it. LOL I could be having a bad day and just look a mess, while out.

These bookstore chains need to wake up! Don’t they know about book readers and TH-camrs who promote by vlogging!
😒😒🤷🏾♀️

I ADORE historical fiction!! Especially when it has a little court/royal political spice in it 💕

Try storygraph for tracking your reading. You can even give half or quarter stars, along with tracking physical, e book, or audio.
Try Beverly Jenkins. She writes black Historical romance and they are GOOD!

It’s a re-read of the first Magnolia Parks but I haven’t read any of the others. But I am going to read them all so I can see why everyone is crying and all the feels for MP-into the dark.

I’m not a fantasy girly but try Crescent City ( the first 60pgs are a bit tough but push through that and you’ll be good!)
All the Light we Cannot See is one of my favorite books!!
Katee Robert is one of my favourite smut authors!!! So worth reading
Chicken shawarma is one of my favorite dishes 🤌 if a place seasons well, you can never go wrong with the Mediterranean cuisine
I'm going to have to give it another try
Hi Alex 👋! I know that this gonna be a fun video! You are so funny and real. Can't wait to see more from you and channel! ❤
Thank you so much!!
New subscriber here. Love your energy and the way you vlog. 🥰
You girls need to read unfixable by Tessa Bailey. It's a series, and it's the second book. But this one is super niiiiice.

Hey Alex great Video can you share the music you’re playing when in Walmart reading the back of the book The Therapist. Thank you
I just read my 1st B.A Paris book (The Guest). It was comparable to Sister Fredia but make it Brittish. A little slower paced and it had no language or sexual content. Would recommend.
I love historical fiction, but not all subgenres. I have a rec for you and it's good with some smut. Love on the Ninth Floor by Aries Skye.
RED QUEEN IS MY FAVORITEEEEE
but i don’t think you’d like it alex :/

Hello Queen, new Sub 👋
Welcome to the family!! Thank you for joining us!
Barnes employee was trippin!
What the heck Alex!?! no filming in two stores?? That is just cray cray. 🤦🏼♀️
Maybe it was because I was In a college town? Idk I was annoyed
That was weird!😮😮 #b&n
You will not block us girlies that like historical fiction!!! We’re just a little smarter,😂 don’t do us!
Lol Intelligence has nothing to do with the type of genre you read.
The way I got so mad when he told you to not film 🙄. I like historical fiction it’s what I started with when I got into reading, however I don’t read much of it anymore. #darkromancegirly4life😂
Also tell ur girl to read Mr.Darcey Takes a Wife. It’s that pride and prejudice smut good good 😅 ok what’s her Goodreads!?
Haha I'll tell her to come comment
When you low key know what TH-camr they were talking about. 🤐🤐🤣🤣
Whoooo?😜😆 I’m curious
Is no filming in Barnes a store policy? Oh no. As much business Romancers bring to their stores? Not okay.
I'm going to look into it.
That’s beyond ridiculous he was just being a whole Karen smh…
That Barnes did not pass the vibe check
Ok hear me out sunshine’s I don’t know why I like that name so much but yeah that would be so cool if you could call us that as a name for your fans I like it a lot 🌇

They're literally filming you the moment you walk in the door. Lol without your permission
He was sooooo lame for that
Bookstores are so ungrateful towards content creators and readers
