Lovely seeing you and Vitctoria together! That AgeUK charity shop looks amazing.
How lovely that you got to be your sister's bridesmaid after reconnecting. Your dress is a gorgeous colour on you 😊💒💐
Also, you asked us to remind you about your backpack!

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you, I’ll try and put it in nexts week vlog!!

How lovely that you got to have time with Victoria. Bookish friends are the best ❤ 💒👰💍❤️

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you! Hopefully we’ll meet you one day 🥰

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Been catching up with you today! How lovely to have been a bridesmaid AND to have a big bed all to yourself! I love it when I get a night to myself :) Lovely to see you and Victoria having a great time together ❤

[@booksandbargains]

Thanks Ali 😻 I’m about a week behind on your vlogs but really enjoying them 😁

[@emmastinylibrary]

How lovely to have Victoria visit you for a few days! Of course you have to take a book if it's free.... although I'm not sure on your choice of Jilly Cooper 😅
Your bridemaid dress was beautiful, I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if you are suffering afterwards, at least you know it was worth it 👰

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you 😝 my dress was from vinted ❤️

[@KirstyPritchard-n2l]

Lovely busy vlog, hope you got all the rest you needed ❤

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you I am getting there

[@jop5547]

WhatVictoriaRead from the Internet?!? No Way!!! Looks like you had a fantastic week, I can't imagine how wonderful it must have been to share your sister's special day with her. Hope you have been able to replenish your spoons x ❤❤

[@booksandbargains]

Thanks Jo, I am slowly getting there but could have done with three more weeks off work :)

[@jhodieking6172]

Loved seeing you and Victoria having fun together ❤️

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you 🥰

[@ameliabarlowbooks]

I have a sister I don’t know as well, different circumstances but I can totally get where you’re coming from with the overwhelm! what a stunning week, made even better with Bert’s great progress. what a superstar ⭐️ Eileen is the only Moshfegh book I liked, but The Fell is really good - great rec from Victoria! sending lots of love 💒🩷

[@booksandbargains]

It was just such a lot of feelings!

[@michelle.planteachread.413]

💒 Wow, what a jam packed video. Hope you're all recovered now xx

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you I am getting there slowly :)

[@karenpoole5995]

I live just outside Loughborough and visit often. Love the charity shops and always come away with books ( I really don’t need) 😅 Thanks for the book recommendations.

[@booksandbargains]

Ah thank you, I was saying to Victoria we usually go to Loughborough on a Sunday so it’s not usually open

Found you through Victoria. Just finished girl, goddess, queen and really enjoyed it. Just borrowed The testaments from BorrowBox and looking forward to starting it. Hope you had a lovely time at the wedding 💒

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel

[@beautyisageless1]

Aw, I was adopted too. I have a sister too but we’ve never met. So happy that you have connected with her! ❤

[@booksandbargains]

Ah thank you ❤️ I don’t know many adoptees so if you ever want to chat about it my DMs are open on instagram

[@beautyisageless1]

@@booksandbargains I will send you a DM.

[@rootingbranches]

So proud of you for voicing what you need. Chronic illness sucks and sometimes it is just necessary to advocate for yourself. Hope you are feeling more poached and less scrambled! ❤💒

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you, I’m getting there slowly! Xx

💒👰🏻‍♀️lovely vlog. How great that you were a bridesmaid for your sister! 😊

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you!! 😊

[@moreorlessruth4449]

💒 loved this vlog. The visit from Victoria, you being a bridesmaid, all your book chat. Perfect. Also, what backpack did you want to share? I'm in the market for a new bag so I'd love if you could share that when you get a chance x

[@booksandbargains]

Ah yes I forgot the backpack! I will share it in the next one but if you give me a nudge on instagram I will send you the link ❤️
