50:34 Hiii, librarian here, we do NOT think it’s weird that you smile when you come in because it makes our entire day to see our patrons happy 🥺🥺🥺 thank you for all the library love on your vlogs 🫶🏻 also, YAY for a 2 hour vlog!!
Hehe I love that 🩷🫶🏻
Ready to sit down for this movie 🍿 👏
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
2 hours aiiii. i can't wait to spend the upcoming week watching the vlog bit by bit. Much love
Have a good weeeeeek 🫶🏻✨
"and I can't wait to not read all these books" .... Same same 🤣🤣
🤣🤣
You do so well at explaining your mental health, “I am fighting for my life!!!” Love it!! You got this girl! You always make my day!
🫶🏻🩷✨
Olivia! You are psychic lol how did you know I needed a feature film from you this week! This will be my decompressing video when I get home from work and snuggle up with my kitties. You have the power to literally talk about lint balls haha or the weather and I am here and ready. Talk in pig Latin I don’t care haha we ❤️ you so much 😊
I hope you have a good day!! 🐈 🫶🏻
Girl I have never felt more seen when you mentioned how gaining energy from being around other people but not necessarily have to engage with people. 1000%
"It's inconvenient to be an adult", oh yes it is.... glad Ginger is alright after the vet :) Great video Olivia :)
🐈🫶🏻✨
Being anxious about your pets is so understandable. Im the same way, they mean everything ❤
50:45 I died at “I can’t wait to not read all of these books” when leaving the library 😂😂❤
i NEEDED this vlog so bad, can’t even explain 😂 getting me through an anxiety-filled morning in work ✨
I hope today is a good day!! ☁️
2hrs!!!! Holy Moly yes!!!!!! I’m so excited.
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
That was quite the peek in from your partner to come in when you were doing a quick look on video
oh i'm freaking cackling, the immediate regret and slow back out 😭😂 i didn't even see that at first!
@oliviareadsalatte I saw her face, and she was "woah...I came in at the wrong time! Crap! I better turn back around and leave! She's on camera!" Then you see Jacob's head perk up after he comes in.
It's right at the 1 hour mark. About a second or 2.
25:46 that's just ✨ _perfectionism_ ✨ sweetie and I'm trying to find a _cure_
🫢
I got behind and your vlogs due to me moving across the country. Catching up while unpacking has been so great and easing my anxiety with all the change, bless the 2 hr vlog! ❤❤
‘I’m fighting for my life on a cellular level’ tell me why that is the most accurate way to describe myself living with MS. Hahahaha made me laugh so hard but also the next time someone asks me how I’m doing you, that is going to be my response 😂😂😂
Hahahahhha it’s the perfect response
These make me SO happy. When I saw the 2 hour vlog it felt like Christmas. ❤
I'm so glad! 🫶🏻🩷
I love the Finlay Donovan series. It’s a silly goofy good time. I started reading it after your rec and haven’t regretted it since
Omg yes! I love a good silly goofy time
“In the spring and summer I awaken like a little plant” 🌱
I felt that 😅
obsessed with the long ass videos I love them so much! Now I will be spending my afternoon off with you as I'm knitting some mittens!
Awwww how cute! I hope you have the best time 🫶🏻🩷
I love your vlogs and feel like you are a kindred spirit. I wish I had found your channel sooner!
Thank you so much!!
so excited for 2 hours of bliss!!!
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
“Accidentally replaced our entire dish set” 🤣🤣🤣
I agree with you about Finlay! I love them!! I like outlandish things though and personally I don’t understand people that want their fiction to be realistic. But I also love the Miss Fortune series by Jana Deleon which gets super outlandish but I LIVE for it!!
I haven’t watched this yet! 😬 yet! But 2hours!!! Yay!! 🎉🎉 so proud! I’m super excited! 🥹
Hehehehe it’s finally here 🫶🏻
Omg!! So glad you brought up granny’s got a gun and killers of a certain age 🎉🤩🤩🤩
Ugh it took me forever to post this comment 😢
Ginger ❤ 🐈 1:31:58
I loved spending more time with you in my head, Olivia! Sorry for the troubles you went through, but I'm glad Ginger is okay and you felt like the week ended on a better tone than it started. You're great! Thanks for the long vlog 🧡💛🧡💛🧡
I think using the thread from your grandma on something that you can use, and then look at it and think of her is a good use for it ❤
I agree ☺️
Just got home from work, made dinner and cannot wait to sit and watch this. My evening is made. Thank you!💗
Long vlogs for the win! 👏🏼
Truly 🙏🏼
Not me thinking all day yesterday that it was Wednesday and therefore waiting impatiently for a vlog to be uploaded only to be disappointed when I realized at 6 pm that was in fact Tuesday not Wednesday 😭😭😭😂
We have the same illness and it’s sooooo bad I’ve been knocked out for almost a week. Thanks for uploading this feature film for me to watch while I die in bed
I hope you feel better!!
Two hour vlog!! Also, so glad Ginger is okay. 🐈💛
Me too, thank you!! 🐈
It makes me cackle every time Video Olivia points to where a book cover should be and Editing Olivia was like "no"
I need to start just inserting me saying no
Gertie and Idabelle are who I want to be when I'm old! I love them so much! I have never heard anyone talk about the Miss Fortune series before, and when I first heard you mention the series, I was so excited. I knew I found my favorite booktuber! ❤
Me too!! Peter monn talks about the series too, that’s how I found it! The new one came out this week and I’m trying to play catch up 🤣
I am *so* sorry about everything that caused *that* car clip but thank you *so* much for filming/editing/keeping it, 'cause the stress laughter and the mood of the entire monologue were *so* relatable (down to that "ugh, virgo" exclamation 🤣) that it had me laughing my bum off at the end of an emotionally very shitty day 💝
Girl you kill weekly vlogs!! They are literally the only videos I’d watch this long lolol ❤❤
I don’t know if anyone else has answered your question about the oven but we had that same problem and it was the temperature sensor, it costs about $150 to replace but it’s cheaper than a new oven. Btw love the long videos!
I felt the “and I just want a nap” sooooo heavy. That’s where I am in life right now 🤣🤍
I want a nap now so bad again 😭
@@oliviareadsalatte me too girl, me too 😩 mental exhaustion is real!
I loved the grocery store voice over! I also HEAVILY relate to "I can't wait to not read all of these books" you checked out at the library.. literally me yesterday.
I’ve just found myself in a historical romance mood and I’m loving it! The meddle and mend series by Sarah Wallace is so good, and if you want the fantasy and mystery elements a marvellous light by Freya marske was amazing! I finished it yesterday and already have the rest of the series reserved at the library
Bless you Miss Olivia for this two hour movie marathon, you're the bestest! ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
I love Finlay so much. And really enjoyed book four tbh. I need more books that match the vibe. Preferably with a similar romance plot but not like the Stephanie Evanovich books where the love triangle just never stopped. Lol
Ok wait I love love triangles so maybe I need to check that series out 👀
Just want to say you're my favorite booktuber of all time! I have no idea how you juggling teaching with TH-cam but you're killing it 😊❤️ Also, I have 3 cat children and understand your pain with vet expenses. These little free loaders need jobs 😂 I love the cross stitch book marks you shared. I've tried cross stitch but don't have the patience to count squares. Are you able to share the link? I know you mentioned you would but I didn't see it in the description. Lastly, I'm sorry that you had a series of unfortunate events. I can appreciate that you took to laughing about it because there was nothing else to be done lol
Awh thank you so so much! I didn't link them because amazon doesn't have the exact ones I bought anymore 😭 but do get any cross stitches you don't have to count for, I just type in 'stamped cross stitch bookmark' and a ton come up!
@@oliviareadsalatteYou're welcome 😊 and okay, thank you!
I love Central Market, I miss going there when I lived in Texas, we have nothing like it in Arkansas. I'm loving the two hour vlog!! I love cozy mysteries, they're fun and short, so you get that instant dopamine hit, yes they're cheesy, but that's why they're SO good.
Thank you!! I wish central was everywhere!
Sending you ALL the good vibes for the coming week ✨ you’re doing AMAZING!
I loved this entire vlog (your humour is impeccable even when you’re going through the trenches - sorry you’ve had a rough week, February is not it) and I’m glad Ginger is doing okay!
I was feeling guilt about only being able to read audiobooks for the last like month and a half, but now im good. Thanks girl ❤
No guilt!!! Guilt begone!!!!!
been having such an anxious day and then the heavens opened up and gifted me this vlog🥰
I hope your day is better today!!
Girl, did I need to see this. Mom was in hospice, passed, had her funeral, and Im flew back to Phoenix. Olivia for 2 hours, Jake (number 1 fan) and Ginger. Thank you ❤
I am so so sorry to hear this. Jake, ginger, and I are sending you lots of love and healing 🐕🐈🫶🏻💛
Love the 2 hour vlogs and all of your chats and tangents 💗 hope the brain goblins are staying at bay and you’re doing well. Love ya 💓
yay 2 hour blog 💃🏻 2.5 next 💕✨
omg
just finished watching this volg and it was the laugh (through the pain) enterntainment that i needed!! you bring humor to everything but also highlight important mental health which i love!! also your reenactment of the windshield had me cackling
Thank you!! I gotta laugh because what else am I gonna do?! Cry?! These lashes cost too much for that 🤣
Thank you Olivia for keeping me company on a saturday night !
You are so welcome! 🫶🏻
I’m a long time viewer of the vlogs and I love the length of them but it would be helpful if you did a wrap up at the end just because they are so long and it would be nice to have a little recap to just go over everything that was covered lol thank you for putting in the work! We love it
💜🐈 love to ginger. I’m the same with my pets. I was anxious waiting for her update! Glad she is good. Also, love the long vlogs!
Awh thank you!! 🐈🫶🏻
I also go straight to the worst scenario so if it's not as bad as I think I can deal. So I can empathize.
A top tier vlog! Congrats on hitting two hours!! I know you were going through it in the last scene in your car, but it completely sent me 😂 the delivery was immaculate and had me howling because I have definitely felt exactly the way you were in that moment and you can't help but laugh sometimes! I hope you're having a better week 🫶🏼
Hahahaha thank you 🫶🏻🩷
I needed this so much today! One bad thing after another, but this video really helped!. Thank you so much
I hope your day gets better 🫶🏻✨
I fully agree with your assessment of Finlay + booktube! I remember when book 2 came out there was a lot of discourse about it not being great and I was like oooohhh y’all have not ready many cozies. I recommend the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evonavitch!
I’m going to start that series once I catch up on Miss Fortune!
Not the eye floaters! Mine have gotten worse this year. My eye Dr just said that hydrating helps a lot with those! ❤
I loved this 2 hr vlog!! I don't really use instagram all that much so I missed the vote, but I would have voted for 2+ hr vlogs if I had seen it!! Thanks for just being you!! You make me laugh often & when I need it the most 💗💗💗💗
Awh thank you so so much! 🫶🏻💛
I couldn't agree more on your thoughts regarding the Finlay Donovan series. I just finished the 4th book on Friday and loved it. I have loved all of them. The 3rd book was my least favorite, but I still really, really enjoyed it. It's like, the people still complaining about the series, we're on book 4, honestly nothing about the books has changed, it you don't like this type of Cozy Mystery, than stop reading the series! LOL -- don't just reading expecting it to change and then bring her overall rating! Hahaha -- Anywho, glad you enjoy the series as well!
The second was my least I think, but even that is just barely! I love the series so much, now I wanna reread Hahahha
YAA for the 2 hour vlog!!!
🫶🏻🫶🏻
I used to take students to Washington, DC for a week. The Library of Congress is my mothership. I would happily work there as a volunteer if I didn’t live 887 miles away.😂
Omg I WISH
About your oven: I am not an appliance repair technician, but I can google stuff really well 😅 and it seems to be a faulty safety thermostat. Which is a good thing that could be much cheaper to fix it than getting a new oven 🤷♀️
Good to know! I’ll have to check 🤔
6:12 moFaux “(mo-foo) are my favvvvvvvvvv. God I love Torchys
They are soooooo good
I'm not even mad about the length!! I had an entire vlog for while I worked from home ❤
Yay!! 🫶🏻
Yay to long vlogs!!!❤
"I can't wait to not read all these books" 😂 lol same! There's about a 2% chance I read all the books I check out from the library 😅
But look at us supporting those libraries 😎
@oliviareadsalatte yes, library STAN!!
Omg I am loooooooving the voice over on the B roll 🤣🤩🥰 you gotta do that more! Also can I say I screamed when I saw this vlog was 2 hours?!? I was so excited
🫶🏻🫶🏻
I can't tolerate bright light either. All my tech stuff is dimmed. I will change whatever I can to the black light option. Thank goddess, the kindle has the black light option as well.
I love the kindle lighting options so much!
So happy ginger is okay and I was super excited to see a 2 hr vlog loved it by the way hope next week is a lot better for you 😊
Thank you! You too! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
love the 2h vlog - honestly the perfect start to the day ☕🐶😻
Thank you!! 😊
2 hours, I’m so excited!! Also I know how you feel about anxiety around vet apts. I have special needs cats and I was even a vet assistant and I still have anxiety about it.
I think it’ll always be anxiety inducing, it’s just one of those things! 🐈
@@oliviareadsalatte I agree but we do it for our babies ❤️
Id recomend the "loop earplugs" for sleep. Im a really light sleeper and whenever my boyfriend comes to bed when I'm sleeping I also get scared awake too but the ear plugs have completely eliminated the problem. I'm sleeping deeper and they're so comfy. I now can't sleep without them lol I swear as soon as I pop them in it's like my brain falls into another realm lol
Okay but I kinda need those
The voice off moment was priceless
🫶🏻🫶🏻
This was great! Also, this week I finished reading A Taste of Gold and Iron. Thank you for recommending that book. It was so good! ❤ I love your long vlogs!
I haven’t actually gotten to that one yet, now I want to omg
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️thrownback millennial right here! Congrats on the 2hr vlog 🥳🥳🥳
Love a feature film ❤
Hehe 🫢🩷
I have a 2008 baby over here, so I feel your anxiety/fear spiral. 🧡
🚨OLIVIA HAS POSTED A TWO HOUR VLOG!!🚨
NOBODY talk to me for the rest of the day!
🫢🩷
I relate so hard to you girl 🫶🏻 my fav YT ever 💕
My fav 🥺💛🫶🏻
Just wanted to pop in to say that you are not crazy for being anxious about Ginger!! I have two senior cats as well and IDK what I would do if anything ever happened to them. People who don't understand this kind of love for an animal are missing out
I so agree 💛
Loved your 2 hour vlog! Perfect for a Saturday morning. 😀
I'm super sick with Covid this week- this video couldn't come at a better time
I hope you feel better!!
Firstly, 2 hours?! Yes!! Secondly, yes, I had a series of random annoying things happen -including our bathroom window randomly cracked - our glass stove top also cracked - MY SUNROOM PILLOW HAD A FIST SIZED BURN HOLE FROM IT BECAUSE THE SUN SOMEHOW PIERCED IT ?? - and others. 😮💨 you gotta laugh so ya don’t cry, right? 😂
2 works: COZY HEIST
To Have and to Heist by Sara Desai should be on your radar. It is an often silly cozy mystery, but the mystery is not really the focus. It's all about the heist, and there are wacky sidekicks. There's some insta-love if that bothers you, but there's also an elephant. It's just a good time.
It doesn’t bother me in a cozy! Lemme go see if my library has it 👀
1:56:03 laughing so much at Olivia saying she also puts up a fight at the vets… hoping she means dentist 😂
Which do I mean 👁️👁️
Sorry I laughed so much! Sorry for Laughing at your bad luck week! Hope March is better.
Thank you for this feature film. It really made my day. I, too, am an unapologetic dad fiction reader. My favorite flavor is Michael Crichton so if you have any dad book recs like that let me know!
Dad fiction is amazing tbh. I need to read some Crichton!
Amazing vlog. Good to see you and your fur babies.
🐈 🐕 💛
Neeeeeded this vlog this week! Loved the 2 hour vlog!
"you wish you could" as someone that does massive full coverage cross stitching, yes i wish my backs were better looking 😭😭🤣
Hahahaha I’m gonna eat those words when I start a huge project
Cotton Malone is the best thing I heard all day. The most yee haw country name!❤😂
I love it so much
The way I’ve been waiting for this is unhealthy but like necessary 😅
Hahahahahah I love 🫶🏻🩷
16:00 wow this is exactly how I’m feeling right now! I just posted a video that’s *slightly* controversial 🫠 and the urge to disappear from the internet is here but then my brain is the biggest meanie so I can’t escape it 😭
It’s just weirdly comforting to see I’m not alone in this 😂❤
Thank you for your videos, Liv! Please, never stop posting ❤
Liv, the issue with the oven could be the thermostat, especially if the oven shuts off but it doesn't trip the breaker.
I’ll check that! Is it a thermostat within the oven I’m looking for? (I’m a new homeowner so I don’t know much, I’ll be honest 🤣)
@@oliviareadsalatte its internal to the oven that regulates the temp. Google the make and model of your oven and put in search faulty thermostat
Oh. My. Sweet. Lord. The apocalyptic videos and reels?! My anxiety CAN 👏 NOT.
Right!!!
A 2 hour vlog!!! I’m so happy😁😁
🫶🏻🩷
Okay but that cross stitch is so cute!!!!!
Right?!
Tasha Alexander writes a great historical mystery with romance called the Lady Emily series.
