“People are always being ambitious about reading classics” lmao never felt so attacked
XD relatable
SAMEE
3 yrs and STILL SAMEEE
So weird seeing the behind the scenes of a bookstore I've been visiting for years. Thanks for this gem Ariel. 🥰
BooksandLala really glad I could do it justice!
She's correct. Books are not a luxury, they're a necessity.
Well we need to keep our minds sharp
I feel like books aren’t a luxury, but they are a privilege.
and a necessity
There was once a time when the ability to read was a privilege.
Books are for the chosen ones 🤣 jk
this was beautifully edited and a joy to watch! support local independent book stores 💕
iva I’m so glad you liked it 💕
I WANT A BOOKSTORE
Do it!

"This is my store, my vision" love that, love the calm vibes of this documentary, Ariel. Thanks for introducing us to this wonderful place!
theres no bookstores where i live, only libraries. if i want to go to a bookstore, the closest is Barnes and Noble and its almost an hour away. ive only been there once. Not worth the trip for me, i just buy my books online or go to the library. i would love to go to an indie bookstore though.
You're supporting your local library and that's wonderful
And our library only has educational books and very old mass market paperbacks. It somehow turns people off from reading
Where do you live?
Oh my god that looks like my dream place! Books, crystals, lovely staff 😍 I would love to visit someday!
Only thing it needs to make it perfect is a cozy little corner to read the books you just bought
this is my favourite bookstore in vernon and the staff are so friendly ❤
This is amazing! ❤️ I love independent bookstores! To be honest, I don't shop in them enough since I work in a chain bookshop (even thou our shops are pretty small compared to others and some of them feel kind of homey and all that connects them is the name) and this is a great reminder for me to try harder and support them (and not to just pay money to my employer 😂)
"I read lot's and lot's of stuff. And I always will" beautiful words.
books, rings and vintage stuff..this is a dream store for me but I live in another continent! 😂 really enjoyed this video 💕
I’m on the precipice of buying a bookstore in my small northern Washington town. There are days when I question what the hell I’m making this major, life changing decision for. I have a good paying job and a lot of flexibility, but there’s something that just keeps calling me to this place. This affirmed (for today) that I’m making the right decision moving forward. Maybe someday you can come shoot one of these for me. Thank you for this 🙏🏻
Erin 💕💕💕 keep me updated on your journey, that sounds so exciting!
Used or new?
How did it go?
Wow this documentary was a surprise! I buy a lot of my books at Expressions of Time, it's actually the used bookstore I probably utilize the most since it's nearby and the staff are wonderful! Thanks for this Ariel!
First 😂 About your documentary: it’s extremely relaxing to watch
As someone who wishes to own a bookstore one day, this was extremely interesting and insightful! And, as always, I'm just so happy that you are doing these kinds of videos (and doing them well) so THANK YOU ARIEL
It's very inspiring to see that you are achieving your goal of making 2019 "freaking amazing" after the sucky year with the master! it's very scary to dive into something different, and you're not only doing that but also rocking at it.
Love from Ecuador
I love everything about this video! It’s important understanding the role bookstores play in a community. I really enjoyed hearing the staffs’ favorite parts of the store
This was so nice and well made I didn’t want it to end... also now I want to work in a bookstore even more
This documentary exudes a type of passion and kindness that is extremely gentle. I loved it 💕
This is a brilliant documentary, seeing inside an indie bookstore like this is such a unique and wonderful thing. Congrats on making a great doc!
This is so lovely, Ariel! Independent shops (and sometimes even previously independent and now belonging-to-a-chain shops) are so integral to many communities, and secondhand bookshops are such great refuges from a busy life (or just the rain). Putting a spotlight on them is a wonderful way to support them.
Ariel's contribution to the booktube community is simply incredible. Thank you for this wholesome, free content. ❤
I love the way your videos constantly expand the horizons of booktube Ariel!! This was so relaxing and meaningful to watch, and amazing to see what indie bookstores mean to everyone involved. Such a happy video!
i love books and i've always loved bookstores and libraries , i feel so calm and in security idk why
i know this is going to be an amazing video! i love indie bookstores as it feels like a little adventure seeing what you find in there and i always think it’s more personal, more likely you’ll see the owner or talk to the people who work there and learn there stories! keep up the amazing vids, i’ve been LOVING the content lately! 🍯🤤💖💖
this was amazing!! wow i'm so excited to see more content like this, it's so original and so YOUR OWN!! amazing
megwithbooks thanks, meg 💕
Absolutely loved watching this, Ariel! Lovely cinematography and editing. Such an interesting little store, too. I've never seen an antique/crystal/book store, but it works! It's so important to go and support local indies, especially the more niche ones. 😊
Girl I love this!! So professional and well done! If I’m ever in BC anytime soon I will DEFINITELY check this place out!
this is so fantastic ariel!!! you always do a stunning job with your docs and i cannot WAIT to see the next one! loved this!!!
jennaclarek thank you so dang much, Jenna 😭🙈🥳
This is so lovely!! I love the calm vibes and the clear passion that everyone has for working there :')
What a great video! Love hearing about behind the scenes/history of indie bookshops. ❤️📚
Love this! Looking foward to similar projects and documentaries from you! 😊
this is your first video that i had watched wayyyyy back and now watching your other videos is UGH SO COOL SENDING LOADS OF LOVE
I love this !! everything about this video is so warm & lively, I love the personality in this piece 💛💛
I got chills ! This is such a good little documentary! ❤️
this was so lovely and calming! such great insight on indie bookstores - small businesses need as much support and love as they can get!
ARIEL!!! This is amazing! Such a cute little doc for such a cute little store. I've never been to Vernon, but if I ever make it there on one my road trips this will be my first stop! You do fantastic work, don't ever forget it
Please do more of these! This was lovely and warm ❤
This is so sweet! And so interesting! I work in an absolutely massive indie, it’s the size of a chapters, and it’s sooo different to this one, yet I can tell the core values are the same!! Great video Ariel.
Love this Ariel!!! Happy for you💕
Loved it! Both the bookstore and the people who work there, and your style of documenting it all! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
An amazing, amazing video Ariel! I loved hearing about her experience and seeing her store.
Great work Ariel! I love this kind of content from you.
One more reason for me to want to visit Canada: to shop at this amazing bookstore!
What a beautiful documentary, I really enjoyed watching it! 💙
This was wonderful! What a great shop and staff! I love 'books aren't a luxury'.x
this was really fascinating and well shot, thank you for this 😌😌
Wow this was very good. The staff seems so nice and really interested in helping their customers out. That's something Amazon will never be able to mimic. And now I want a bookstore :)
What a lovely documentary; it certainly encourages us all to support our indie bookstores! 💕
These are all my love's in one place, i've never been so sad that a place isn't in my local area. Loved the editing in this too, so professional.
This was absolutely lovely
This was so awesome to watch! Great job! :)
Thanks Ariel!
Love that bookstore it reminds me of one of my neighborhood bookstores.
Well done!
Love this shop, visited in August, would love to get there again one day !! Excellent wide-ranging stock and friendly staff. And close to Ratio's coffee bar too!
Joss Mullinger yay!!!! I love that you’ve been there!!!
Oh this is amazing! I would love to visit this bookshop!
I enjoyed this so much!! I wish I lived there so I could visit lol. I also wish this doc was an about hour long, I would love to hear more. I can see you having an awesome film making career Ariel!
this is so precious - i want to go to that bookstore
Thank you Ariel! That's a beautiful documentary, evokes the mini-docimentraires Criterion Collection does on art studios and creative spaces. Make more if you like making them, my favorite content:)
This is great! I think something a lot of people don't imagine about smaller/privately owned stores is the struggle to keep them alive and running well. I grew up in a summer town where I worked at smaller businesses and it was hard to not see the business owners struggle. They have so much of their own personal money and time invested that the employees can easily become invested, too. It's a great vibe, if not a bit stressful. And I totally agree with what she says about having your hands in a lot of pies. Even bigger stores have to do this now (ex: Barnes & Noble); toys, journals, accessories - it's hard not to dive into these markets when big names like Amazon are out here selling EVERYTHING you could imagine.
I am loving these types of videos...Ariel
Good job
God, I've read so many books recommend by Ariel, also it helped me kinda develop my taste as a reader. This documentary wonders.
amazing! loved this!
This is excellent Ariel! Great job
Great job, Ariel. That was beautiful.
I love everything about this. Vernon is such a beautiful town and I love visiting in the summer. I am definitely going to make a trip the next time I'm through. I also just appreciate this is a universal story that comes from Canada. Also makes me think of Hemingway's the used book store I usually go to❤️
I love this, congratulations!!!❤
Loved it when I went to the screening, and love it even more the second time around! I just moved to Toronto so I'm trying to find the hidden gem bookstores around the city
This is great I love it, will this be a series? I hope so I'd love to see more light shine on everyday people.
loved it! please do more of these :D
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!
This was an absolutely amazing video and I definitely want to visit and support this bookstore🌸
this is lovely, Ariel 💕
Such a beautiful little story of a bookstore! Will most def. visit if I ever travel to that corner (bookstore) of the world 👍
This was AMAZING. Good job Ariel. 😍
TheSunriseInside thank you thank you thank you 😭
Omg I'd love to visit this store one day! Crystals, tarot and books all in one place! Sounds like haven ❤️
That was a great documentary! And what more than to put books, jewellery and crystals together
This is beautiful, and also inspirational
Such an amazing video seems like a great store. Now I know where to go next time I am in that area!
This store is a dream😍 i love the staff, too!
Only positive note, This book store owner and her store is amazingly impressive! Easily scores 10 Stars for completeness, organized and super super clean. Love the reading chairs but where's the required cat? ( sleeping in a spot of sunlight)
This was really, really, really lovely.
Please more independent bookstore documentaries !!
Great mini-documentary! Now I have another bookstore to visit in the future. :3
I love these "book awareness through people" videos! 👍
Beautiful, relaxing & enlightening :)
I hope you're able to come down to visit Victoria some time! It has the largest used bookstore in Canada, and in general a really strong local bookstore presence. Once a year, there's a giant book sale where people line up around the block and camp out the night before to get a good place in line!
Lovely!
Hi Ariel!! I just went to try to subscribe to your channel after our interview today and realized ... I was already subscribed. I think I've subscribed to a lot of book channels over the years and then not kept up, but will definitely be checking out more of your videos now that we've talked!
