    How has no one mentioned Clay's 'background dancing!' - that is such a self isolation mood.

    I haven't watched this yet, but you can be absolutely sure that I will. I just wanted to say that your reading vlogs have been such a comfort to me during this time. They really help me relax so much and are such a joy to watch! Thank you for making this wonderful content!

    Please keep reading romance and documenting your journey! The only historical rom-com I’ve read is The Duchess Deal (I’m sure it’s already been recommended to you), but I really enjoyed it and will be reading more in that series! Romance takes up the bulk of my reading and I just love it, so it makes me so excited to see you getting pumped about it 😊

    In the U.K. We r in lockdown/self isolation and I'm reading a lot and now I've ordered 3 books to be delivered because I haven't read scythe yet so I ordered that because you recommended it, clockwork angel because I still haven't read it and to all the boys I've loved before by Jenny Han. So excited but I'm reading the last wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

    I've been reading the Shadowhunters series, and it's so good! I'm still on City of Bones, but I'm really excited to get the the infernal devices and the dark artifices (and chain of gold)!

    What a sweet boyfriend and thanks for sharing your isolation with us. Since we’re all stuck at home it’s nice to see how someone else is spending their time and your positivity brightens my day. Your food looks amazing (thank you for the recipes!) and your clips of Matilda are 🥰
    You could put some books on top of your bookshelves...

    Your apartment is so cute & cozy! And the view is great! Thanks for the tv recommendations also. I TOTALLY make a schedule for these home days. I’m adding in a home project (spring decluttering) and cleaning item, in addition to exercise, reading, tv and some games etc. for my day to feel productive and fun.

    So glad your getting into historical romance!! It´s so much fun!!! I feel like you would really enjoy Julia Quinn and her Bridgerton series (soon to be a Netflix show!!!! OMG!!!!) also her Smythe-Smith Quartet. I would also recommend Tessa Dare and Sarah MacLean. Hope you find them to your liking!!
    PS: Bringing down the Duke was one of my fav books of last year, so excited for A Rogue of One's Own!!

  • @kelseybird14

    For steak, I rely on a meat thermometer, and I make steak all of the time! Pull off about 10 degrees shy of your target. For medium rare I pull off heat at 120-125 and as it rests it’ll reach perfect medium rare!
    You make me want to read books out of my comfort zone!

    from the way you describe "bringing down the duke" i think you will LOVE "to have and to hoax" it's the same type of historical rom-com story and it's soo entertaining and there's lots of drama as well

    Definitely check out Julia Quinn if you're craving more historical romance. She's so good with tension and witty dialogue between characters.

  • @comfycozycrochetwithtris1188

    It would be awesome to see a video of recommendations for rom com historical fiction books!! Sounds like a genre I could seriously get into!! Would love to hear your list of recommendations!! Your reaction to Bringing Down the Duke is exactly what I’m looking for right now. I’m on it!!

    You should check out Georgette Heyer. A British writer from the 1920s who wrote regency romances. They were definitely on the lighter more humorous side of things and she wrote a ton of them!

    @MegBookishRamblings 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yay another reading vlog! I love watching your vlogs and I usually am adding to my neverending TBR pile as a result. Speaking of historical fiction, might I recommend a couple of series that have magical elements? The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan is about a woman who goes on adventures to study Dragons and there's sketches included plus each of the books has colored ink! The Glamourist Histories by Mary Robinette Kowal is Jane Austen-inspired with magical elements! I'm really looking forward to reading Crescent City and I'd also like to read Royal Assassin this month and slowly continue on with the rest of the series. Happy reading!

  • @MsRaindropps
    @MsRaindropps 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love historical romance and really I don't care who knows it lol. It has always been my "go to" when I just needed to escape. I used to live for Catherine Coulter's historical romance books. I read them all, some twice. There is also Julia Quinn who will have her Bridgerton books on a Netflix series (I don't know when). Lisa Kleypas has a Wallflower series that is also very fun to read. I think Dangerous Alliance was a cute read, and I loved that it was not trying to be a Jane Austen novel. Enjoy your quest into HR!

  • @Liba_Elena
    @Liba_Elena 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    historical romcom: The Unexpected Duchess by Valerie Bowman --- I LOVED IT! I too am not really into pure historical romance, but this! The dialogs were hilarious. Plus it's the first in a series. 😉

    We had a pug, her name was Mercedes. She had SO many nicknames! We called her a loaf of bread, our little burrito friend, fat fat today, puga chan :) She even got promoted to Aunty Cedes when I gave birth to my son 🖤 Its coming up to 1 year since she traveled to the rainbow road and we still miss her so so much.
    Seeing Matlida makes me so happy and a little teary eyed but she is such a little cute cinnamon roll!

    Bringing Down the Duke sounds like such a good read, I'm going to have to order it ASAP. The light-hearted, endearing romance and the historical setting really reminds me of Mackenzi Lee's The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (which I loved) - if you haven't read that yet, I'd highly recommend it!

    Ahh I loved Bring Down the Duke, it's probably the best historical romance I've ever read! I read a lot of books in the genre, and one of my favorites is When A Scot Ties the Knot, I think it has the level of humor you're looking for :)

    I highly recommend reading Cindy Anstey’s books for more historical rom com feels. I’d read them in the order she wrote them and potentially skip the Christmas one.

  • @psychemusings
    @psychemusings 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    For historical romance,
    I really love Lisa Kleypas novels like 'Again The Magic', 'Love in The Afternoon' & 'Hello Stranger'.
    Also, 'The Girl with The Make-Believe Husband' is my favorite by Julia Quinn her Bridgerton series is getting a series adaptation on Netflix.

  • @LisaL86
    @LisaL86 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Matilda is adorable. I have a black brindle staffy called Obi who is informally known as Obelina Obilesky 😂 and is commonly compared to a baked potato.
    Another vote here for you to check out Tessa Dare! Her “girl meets duke” series is a delight.

    Loved this vlog! I'm literally the same as you when it comes to a plan/schedule for your day even if all you are doing is leisure activities. I work in retail so I am off of work right now and can't work from home so really at a loss for what to fill my days with! Love the idea of starting a new genre binge and I also don't usually read historical romance either so maybe this will be a good one to get lost in. ☺️

  • @amusicalbookworm
    @amusicalbookworm 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The lack of routine has been the hardest part for me too! My bullet journal is my best friend right now. And yes, I do call my dogs after literally anything else when they’re being cute... which is basically always. They probably don’t even know they’re dogs 🤣

  • @MMYMRS
    @MMYMRS 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    historical romance recommendation! the Ravenell series by Lisa Klepas. Gave me all the same feels as you talking about bringing down the duke, they are set in Victorian times and they go into all these details about victorian farming and the introduction of rail systems and its pure delight. I speed through them at a terrifying rate lol highly recommend!

  • @AshtheViking
    @AshtheViking 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been watching booktube instead of reading. I think putting myself on a schedule might help it's hard with zero external accountability. There's a dog trainer show called It's Me or the Dog with Victoria Stillwell and she's a great trainer who focuses on positive reinforcement- there's been a few episodes where they train dogs who go after the vacuum or mop like Matilda does. Full episodes are on youtube. Might be a useful isolation to-do.
