[@ali_enchanted]

OMG NESSSSSSSSSS❤❤❤ i hope you're well. Im so happy to hear from you! You made MY night

[@sammie9088]

I've checked in now and again on TikTok but I don't use it regularly so I was excited to see this video pop up! I hope you're able to find a good balance for uploading over here that feels lower pressure 🥰

[@ali_enchanted]

I'm going to try my best to make it work on both platforms! I've definitely missed TH-cam more than i realized

[@aprilskylynn]

Weyward giving Practical Magic vibes?! 🤯🙊 SIGN ME UP ASAP!!! 😆 Glad you're back 🧚‍♀️📚💕🦋

[@CozyBriarRose]

Aw, so nice to have you back, and I’m glad you’re doing so well!
I only recently got back into reading after a 5 year reading slump, but I instantly looked you up because you were my favorite Booktuber back in the day (I honestly don’t even remember what username I had back then but oh well lol). I was so sad when I first saw your videos were gone, but then luckily I found you on Booktok.
Anyway…so many great books on this list. I have a ton of them on my TBR already. The Spellshop was my favorite book of last year! I’m so excited another book is coming out from that world soon!
I also got Weyward for Christmas and can’t wait to read it in the Spring.

[@IBKaylee]

My Shayla! Last night (during the TT ban) I rediscovered TH-cam and it was a nice change of pace that I think I’ll revisit more.

[@ali_enchanted]

It's always nice to find comfort in familiar places! 🌿

[@nocturnus009]

Tonight I’m finishing Absolution (Area X Southern Reach “Trilogy” book 4). It has some shelving vibes with Mexican Gothic [and probably SMG’s Daughter of Dr Moreau but just making such connections might be a hot take?].

[@KrystleVisions]

Hi Mom! I missed you!! I became a mom too last December! Let’s buddy read soon! Welcome back! 🩷🩷🩷
