Tracy, I am so thankful to have found your channel. There is nothing I enjoy more in my senior years as a book and a cup of tea. I have a list of books to borrow from the library and a pile on my end table. I look forward to watching you and getting ideas for different genres as I mostly read historical fiction.
@@JillHerrington-vc8ol Jill, how delighted I am that you are here! 😊Thank you for being here. Like you, I find a fresh stack of library books and tea among the best things in life! 📚 I very much enjoy a bit of historical fiction too! 🩷
Yay another book buddy! I loved that you have books in your list that are not the same books we're all seeing plastered all over the place. Love your star earrings!
@@thiscozyspace Very glad to have you here! 😃 And I’m happy you enjoyed this episode. 🩵 Yes, I do a big mix of reading usually… new, old, everything in between. Since I use my library a lot, sometimes I’m on a waiting list for books, so the super-brand new ones I might not get to until later. 😁Oh, and thanks for the earring… I do love these silver stars! ⭐️
Good morning Tracy. I am delighted that your latest video is performing well for you!! Thank you so much for your tea and book reviews. Have a wonderful day 🙋♀️🌺💕🥰
@@LivelyLadiesFitness Thanks so much, Trish! 🤗 It is wonderful to you here. Things kind of took off here this week… I guess it was the books and tea that did the trick! 😆📚Looking forward to doing your latest workout tomorrow! 💃🏻 Happy Day, my friend! 🩷
I love how versatile your reading is from poetry to academia to manga! Also love your chili rating scale 😂 Thank you for the recommendations. Happy New Year!
@@amberh3358 Thanks you, Amber! ☺️ It was fun to share a wide variety of books becaus that’s how I read-very varied. I like to think there will be a little something for everyone Tea with Me episode. I honestly couldn’t resist the chili rating-too much fun! 🌶️🤣 Thanks for being here. 🩷
Tracy, thank you for sharing your 2024 and current readings. I am so inspired by how many books you read. I truly enjoyed this tea time with you. I was also drinking my morning tea while I watched your video. I love how you can take us back to your experience of where you were in life while you read. I'm excited to be here to see your growth on TH-cam in 2025. Using poetry to help get through grief is very powerful and so glad it helped. Also, I read every article you write and I'm proud to be a part of sharing your journey. Have a wonderful day 💜💜💜💜
@@journeywithnikole Thank you so much for your very kind and generous comments, Nikole! 🙏🏻It’s so great to have you along for 2025! And I’m really glad you find so much to enjoy. And fun knowing you’re a tea person too! ☕️ Happy weekend 🩷🩷🩷
@@FinnsTH-camchannel Welcome, and many thanks, Finn! 🙏🏻Kafka-good stuff, and a good start to the new year! 😃 I hope your reading this year is enriching & adventurous! 📚
I would love a part 2. So so happy that you are not doing music while you speak😂, so hard to find book vids without music. Really enjoy this. New subscriber 🎉
@@gloracruikshanks1556 Thank you so much for being here-I really appreciate it! 🩷 Like you I’m not a fan of music all throughout a video. It’s hard to concrentrate on what a person is saying if music is layered over it. The only music (composed by my husband) on my videos is intro/outro, or a small piece of incidental music on a vlog… there will never be music on these Tea with Me episodes! 😊
@@johnandlindaprice5839 Linda, how great to see you here! 😃 I remember you too… it’s been a long time! I heard from Julene, and it was a lovely “walk down memory lane” moment. So nice to be in touch again. 🩷
@@elsebratlien7654 Mange takk, Else! 😃 Sååå flott for at du skal bli med på eventyret mitt her! Det blir mest på engelsk vanligvis! 😉 So glad you to have you along, and that you found much to enjoy! 🩵 And I hope wherever you are in California that you & yours are safe! 🙏🏻
Well done! Please do a part 2! We have a teenage son wanting to learn everything he can about Norway. Maybe you have some Norwegian authors to recommend to him?
Loved Spy Family you have inspired me to continue on with the series. Love your eclectic choices for reading, you have inspired me to read more poetry. Making a note to try and get Keeper of the Night and Traitor Son from my libraries. Great video, glad I found you!
@@maryshimp2664 Happy to have you here, Mary! 🩷 Thanks so much for your comment! 😊 I’d love to hear how you get on with more poetry in your life. 📚 And cheers to great reading from the library!
Enjoyed this very much. Am planning on reading Demon Copperhead this year. My favourite read of the year was Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr. Wonderful book.
@@spreadbookjoy Thanks for coming along with me on this book chat! 🩷I’m so glad yoy enjoyed it. Cloud Cuckoo Land need to be on my TBR… somehow I’ve never got round that one-thanks for the reminder! 📚
The Weaver and the Witch I really enjoyed! I loved the Witches Heart by her I think more. I read Strange the Dreamer in 2023 and agree stunning 🤩 I have it on my list of books to reread .
@@mandydandy86 Oh, I have The Witched Heart on my list, and can’t wait for that one! I know I’m goung to be rereasing Strange the Dreamer again too… many times, I’m sure! Thanks for being here, Mandy! ☺️🩷
Lazlo Strange is one of the most beautiful characters ever written. I also loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I must recommend The Rave Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. Unforgettable settings and characters. It's particularly good on audio. ❤
@@greywaren621 YES!! Lazlo Strange is one of the best, sweetest heroes ever written! I think I feel in love with him too! 🥰 I have yet to read more Laini Taylor-she’s on the list, oh, and so is M. Stiefvater… gave heard great things. Thanks so much for being here and sharing! ☺️
I'm trying to get to 12 books for the year, I'm astounded that you did 100 in a year, I'm in awe. I have the Strange the Dreamer Duology lined up for this year, so I'm even more excited about it now.
@@SunnysideorScrambled Do hope you will enjoy Strange the Dreamer, Sunny! ☺️ Let me know how you get on with it! I’ve always read a lot, but in recent years I’d say I do read a lot more and try to fit reading in my day where/however I can. I also don’t have children, so my time is more flexible in that way. 😊 Thanks for being here! 🩷
Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries series captures my whole heart in 2024. I binged the series in two weeks with the audiobooks, I cannot recommend them enough, Kevin R. Free is a phenomenal narrator.
@@kaseyashton7715 Ooo… Murderbot! Yes… what a great character! I started the series last autumn, about halfway through. I’ve been reading via Libby app, but it can be slow getting them as the series is popular and often lent out… so I’m waiting for more! I’ll have to check out the audio books. Thanks for the recommened, and for watching! 🩷
I’m Finishing my morning coffee and preparing some meals as I listen and watch your video. Do you find yourself microwaving and microwaving your beverages? Lol I am a lover of tea as well. I’m enjoying your channel. I just discovered it today. 😊 I am now a subscriber.
@@michelled.3849 Thank you sooo much, Michelle… I’m.p very glad you’re here! 😊 And thank goodness of microwaves, right?! Here’s me too… reheating my tea! 😆☕️ And nothing like some TH-cam to boost the domestic chores… right with you! 🙋🏻♀️ 🩷
A part 2 would be nice. I do enjoy audiobooks/ebooks through Libby, and I try to acquire book club reads this way if I can. Otherwise, I love going to thrift stores or secondhand bookstores. I do try to support indie when I can. In other words, I try to avoid Amazon if possible. I do own a Kindle but only read free library books or deeply discounted ebooks on it. 📚
@@mariasmiles68 Thank you, Maria! 😄 I’m working on part two now! Great to hear how/where you read. Like you, Amazon is my last choice, when possible. I use my Kindle for reading English books that I just can’t get here living in Norway or the library system doesn’t have/doesn’t get. Very glad you’re here! 🩷
I just finished reading Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible” and it is EXCELLENT!!! I have Demon Copperhead and will read that next. Have you read it”The Poisonwood Bible”? I highly recommend..it will blow you away!
Nice video Tracy! You and @RubyGranger8 inspire me to read 'Time is a Mother' by Ocean Vuong this year. And I wonder what you eventually think about 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' by Susanna Clarke. Have you read more books surrounding the topic of magic?
@@sophiescreative Thank you so much, Sophie… I’m glad you enjoyed this! ☺️ Ruby Granger so lovely and inspiring! I’m no longer an active student as she is, but I’m a student for life and a lifeling reader. 📚 Yes, I’ve many books, quite a bit of fiction that has magic as major compotent of a story. I will make a note… it could be fun to do book/topic specific videos sometimes. Thanks for the inspo! 🩷
