Hello hello, friends! How are you all doing? It's been such a busy month for me, but I have been such a huge reading mood lately! I've been reading and buying a ton of books, all of which I'm excited to pick up soon 🥹 I have a lot to catch up on with my reading journal, and in this video I showed how I use Adobe Photoshop's new generative AI tools to create a dark academia spread for a book I recently finished 🥰 I love expanding my creativity using new tools, especially with an app I love!
Of course, this partnership with a brand I adore would not have been possible without you guys, so thank you all, from the bottom of my heart 😭🤎🤎 I hope to be able to continue making cozy and relaxing videos for you all to enjoy. Have a blessed month ahead, and I will catch up with you all in the comments! :)
Take care,
Cath.

I love these videos in the morning. When I wake up I go cuddle on the couch and put this channel on for some quiet time! It's so relaxing before I start my day. I feel more calm and open minded! Thank you. ❤☺️📖🖋🐈☕️
ahhh thank you soooo much!! your support seriously keeps me going, so thank you! 😭🤍🤍 i’m glad my videos make you feel calm and relaxed 🫶🏼
Same here! It motivates me and it makes me Cozy. It makes me Cozy also. Why I love Cups and Thoughts! ❤
i do the same thing but in the evening!
@@fairyfarmssame
I think I’ve rewatched every video on this channel over 10x now; it’s always playing in the background of my studies and they never get old📖🍄🟫✨🍵🧚♀️
you have no idea how much this means to me!!! thank you sooo very much!! 😭🥹🤍
I love to watch cozy reading vlog in the evening with the cold coffee 🍃📖🌃
Every video of yours is a treat for me. I'm recovering from the cold and slightly bored of lying in my bed for hours on end, but watching this made me feel much better 🥰
you are so kind, thank you so much! 🥹🤍 i’m glad you’re feeling better 🫶🏼
ahhh another cozy video and its so nice that you're adding your voice! You asked about cozy activities, and thanks to you and other youtube vloggers I'm starting to get into journaling. I'm a little intimidated, but I'm excited to make my own book journal spreads 😃
hehe thank youuu!! i'm trying to add more voiceovers hehe :') that's so exciting!! it definitely can be very intimidating, but you'll get there! it's so much fun 🥰🥰
YES to the partial voiceover!! .... These special edition books have really put a dent in my bank account, but they're so special and lovely! I'm addicted too.. Some of those Fairyloot books are like art on the shelf! 📚🤍
Love a book purchase that starts with, “Okay, I can explain” 😂😂😂 Best kind of book purchase, in my opinion.
Oh, the bookstore nook came out so gorgeous!
This was so cosy and beautiful and nice to unwind to. Also those blueberry scones look amazing, I wanted one so bad. Im looking forward to reading more children's books this year. Thanks for your lovely vlogs they make my day. Have a good one...🥰💕
I love your videos so much ❤ I'm autistic and i really appreciate videos like yours to help me calm and relax! Much loveeee
Also I love that you read your books AS you purchase them!!!! It shows that they are loved!❤

I love your videos so much! They bring such peaceful vibes
thank you so much 😭😭🤍🤍
Thank you so much for sharing longer videos with us, we truly appreciate it!
you are most welcome! i’m so happy to be sharing longer videos 🥰
Recently found your channel and I'm obsessed! I also adore a good book, pretty aesthetics, and a cozy hobby like book nooks. Definitely going to add your channel to my go-to cozy videos. I'm currently reading The Zheninghai Chronicles by Anastasis Blythe and LOVE them, but also added a few of your recommendations in past videos to my library.
love love love the cozy vibes ❤
I really enjoyed The Kingdom of Back! I loved learning about Mozart’s sister and the sibling dynamic in the beginning is so sweet

So happy to see a video from you!!! Made my whole day. Been getting into diamond painting and listening/reading audio books while doing so.

aghh your videos with voiceovers>>>>
hehe thank youuu 🥺🥺
The booknook turned out so pretty! I’m impressed you had the patience to finish it. I got one for my birthday two years ago, and still haven’t🙈
haha thank you so much! i definitely pushed myself to finish it 😅 but it was so much fun! take your time building it and listen to an audiobook/watch a film while doing so :) it's sooo cozy!
I’m also trying to get my physical tbr down to 0 and I also listen to many an audiobook haha I loved the video the vibes and coziness were fantastically fantastic
haha i love that for us!! i hope you get it down to 0 soon 🥰 i'm glad you enjoyed this video!! 😍
My heart leapt when you posted🤭
haha thank you for the support 🥹
I only recently fell into the audiobook rabbit hole - I was getting a bit desperate, as my focus capacity has drastically diminished these past few months. Audiobooks allowed me to finish Pride and Prejudice, Sense ans Sensibility, The Secret Garden, Dune, Grapes of Wrath.... I delved into so many new genres and books I'd have NEVER thought I'd finsh or even like - AUDIOBOOKS !
i totally know how you feel!! and i’m so glad you’re discovering new genres because of audiobooks 🥹 they’re the best!!! 🤍🤍🤍
I love reading teeny bits of Hayao Miyazaki’s journals, too! I should pick it up again soon. 🌿 May flew by, I agree! Love your little soot sprite friend by your candle. 🥹♥️
he’s such an interesting person isn’t he!! haha i hope june is a little slower 🥹 thanks for noticing my little friend! 🤣 i think him being by the candle is really fitting 🤍
I love that you are also from WA! I enjoyed your cosy little vlog while the storm rages on, stay safe and I hope you enjoy the long weekend xx
ahh hello! thank you so much, the weekend was so wet 😭 but definitely great for reading hehe. i hope you got through the storm okay! enjoy the long weekend too 🤍
@@cupsandthoughts hi!!! The storm hit as I was watching one of your videos!!! It was a tornado!! 🌪️ we lost our side fence, the suburb is a mess but everyone is ok! I hope you were safe during the crazy weather we have had.
❤❤❤ another aesthetically pleasing video
thank you 🥹🤍🤍
I just bought some Houjicha, it's so lovely!
oh yay! i hope you enjoy it
Being excited about books is one of my favorite feelings! I too, am trying to go through my tbr but mine is actually my kindle unlimited list. Several books I got for seasonal reading last year and then never got to read 😅
I am elbows deep in my garden at the moment for alternative activities. I have immense pest pressure I am trying to mitigate but I feel I started too late (being a beginner gardener). Even with insect covers I feel the bugs are already on the plants so why am I going to imprison them with their feast? Definitely a lesson learned for this particular garden set up. Now today I will be starting some fall seeds in trays and maybe even break out my diamond dot painting. ✨️ a cozy relaxing weekend after a tedious work week.
Also, I was inspired by your beautiful reading journal scrapbooking and decided to start one of my own! 😮❤ thank you for always sharing your designs and beautiful materials with us! 😍
it sure is!! all you want to do is read all day which is sadly impossible haha 🤣 oh nooo i hope you got the pest issue sorted out! i’m still struggling with pests myself, it can be so devestating but you’re right - lessons learned! it’ll help us all grow 🌱 that sounds like a cozy weekend indeed!! i hope you enjoyed it :) and i’m so happy to hear that!! journaling is one of my favorite hobbies and i totally recommend it to everyone 🥹🫶🏼
Yay!!!!! Cath! ☺️♥️🌿☕️📚
OMG, I love the Unmaking of June Farrow edition!!! 😍😍😍 I've started reading it yesterday, and am so excited about it! 🤗 Can't wait to discuss it in the book club with you! Thank you so much for another very cozy vlog! 🧡
it’s sooo gorgeous isn’t it?! 😍😍🤍 i hope you’re enjoying it!! yes please do, lots of us loved it 🥹 thank you for watchinf 🤍
Absolutely adorable ❤🐾😸
thank you!!
I started reading Fable yesterday, what a beautiful coincidence🤭 great vlog, thank you 😍
ahhh i hope you’re enjoying it!! 🥹🤍🤍
@@cupsandthoughts i've read it and i loved it😊😊😊
Love the nice long video and the book haul! Yes, May definitely went by too fast. Here in the Southern California desert, it's our last chance for nice weather before it gets brutally hot. My yard went from beautiful greens and meadow flowers to brown, crispy weeds. 😐 Now I have to hustle to trim back the faded stuff before it becomes a fire hazard and it's too hot to work outside. But I don't feel like it. I've been more into fixing up the inside of the house, gardening with flowers and herbs on my deck, and ordering little perfume samples to find a new scent. 🌹
i’m glad you enjoyed it! 🥰 haha i totally know the feeling 😅 all the best with you plant babies! that honestly sounds sooo lovely, house work + flowers on the deck and finding a new scent?! 😍 love the cottagecore vibes hehe 🤍
i can’t wait to see your bookshelf tour! i’m new to your channel so i haven’t seen your shelves yet(:
thank you so much!! i can't wait to do a tour soon
I love your videos so much and the best part is to comment on your videos and your comment section is very interesting reading everyone's comments and your replies is my favourite thing to do
And I was about to say you that if you could make the letters size bigger it would be good but now you're doing voice over is way more perfect ❤❤❤
awww thank you so much!! 😭🫶🏼 everyone’s comments are always sooo nice, i’m glad you enjoy reading what everyone’s up to 🥹 haha yay!! definitely more voiceovers in the future 🤍
Thanks to you my journal spread is getting more attractive the way you add stickers and some little illustrations I am also trying to do that or I'm just being creative I dunno 😅 but these little things make my spread better...
This video took some more time than usual but it was good as always . Bye ❤
hahaha stickers and drawings are the best way to spice up a journal spread 🥰 definitely you being creative ✨✨ thanks for the support on this video 🥹
Yaaaay❤️
❤❤❤
cozy as always
ily
ahhh thank youu for the support 🥹🤍
lovely video as always
ahhh katie!!! thank you so much 🥹🤍
Love it! If I was good at building stuff, I would make a book nook...feel like they're all hard though. Haha
it’s not that hard at all! but it does require a lot of time :) doing this with friends/family would be sooo much fun!!
I just finished reading “The Familiar” earlier this week- I found myself pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! 🖤 I hope you do as well 😊
ohh that's so good to hear!! i'm excited to read it 😍😍
What a surprise to hear your voice sweetie! it is so soothing that it can count as an asmr. Guess what I'm doing while I'm watching and listening? I am predictable :D All the best and thank you again for your work and for sharing little moments with us.
I've never read Adrienne Young before, which book do you recommend to start? Thank you!
hehe thank you paula!! i always love your journaling while watching cozy yt videos combo 🥰🥰 thankyou for the support as always!
as for Adrienne Young's books, i recommend picking up Fable first! I first read The Unmaking of June farrow though, which was really good as well!!
@@cupsandthoughts thank you!!!! Happy weekend to you and your sisters
Yay, another cozy vlog! These always make my heart so happy and warm 🥺
I finished A Study In Drowning recently too, and I have such mixed feelings! I think a lot of it stems from the fact that I simply expected something else from the litle blurp on the back (which keeps happening to me - I'm starting to think either I don't have good reading comprehension or they simply lie in the blurps). I was expecting a gorgeous mansion, not a crumbling swampy house, which killed a lot of the excitement I had. Personally I was also quite confused with the world building, especially the first few pages I kept going "oh so it's like a fantasy world- oh, it isn't? Oh, so it's historical- wait they have cars?" might just be me, but it just felt a bit all over the place. I wasn't a big fan of the heroine at first, she was actually annoying me. In general the romance felt a bit rushed and forced, and they killed it with the love scene for me. Like you said, the first half was hard to get through. The second half was much easier and actually made me give the book a higher rating (was originally thinking of 2/5, gave it 3/5 in the end). What was surprising to me is the fact that the book deals with some HEAVY themes, and not just the "fantasy evil fairy king" themes, but real things. I did enjoy the haunting ambience, the unease it filled me with and the anxiety it gave me.
Now I'm reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman and I'm struggling. This one is completely on me, the book is lovely, but it's just not my style. This book made me realize I'm not a fan of the fairytale storytelling 😅
haha yay! you’re so sweet 🥺🥺 i can relate to allll your points! it was definitely so messy, there wasn’t a linear narrative and the whole plot on the faerie king felt so out of place from the themes of the book 😅 the romance did feel rushed, but overall i thought the audiobook was what made me really enjoy the book! it felt like a lucid dream, with so many very random things happening all at once, but in a pretty and haunting type of way that was enchanting! you’re sooo right about the anxiety 😭 and i was cringing so hard at all the attention on effy. but i liked that the book stirred me and made me feel lots of things, from confusion to awe 😂 it took me a while to rate it, and i found myself still thinking about the characters and the story even days after finishing it, which led me to the 4 star rating rather than a 2-3 star rating (which would have been more technically accurate)! pretty insane how an audiobook can change the tone of a book. i don’t think i would have even finished it if i read it physically from the beginning 🥹
i’m the same with stardust!! similar thing happened and i switched to the audiobook and immediately fell in love. neil gaiman is a fantastic narrator!! i highly recommend it if you’re keen on giving stardust another go ✨✨
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love your videos
thank youuuu 😭🤍🤍🤍🤍
I love that you enjoyed Namesake!!! Did you read Fable? Love that you posted a new video!!!
yess!! i read Fable as well, i loved them both so much 😭 it's my new favorite duology ever! thank you for watching 🥹
@cupsandthoughts I need to reread them. Now, the author has a side book called Saves. But I haven't read it yet. I'm not sure if it will countie the story or not. I'm glad you enjoyed them so much. I did as well
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love watching your videos thank you for sharing your daily vlog have a wonderful day 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
thank you for the support!!! i hope you have a wonderful day too 🤍🤍
Nice 😀♥️📚
I am eagerly waiting for your bookshelf tour video .... Please make it ASAP.....
thanks for the anticipation! i’ll make it as soon as i can 🥰
💚🖤🐈⬛
I am happy for you
Have you read Ben Okri ? I have never heard of him before but I have a book by him at my parents’ home that I wanted to try reading but just never got to it.
Oh, forgot to put in the title of that Ben Okri’s book, it’s the “Song of Enchantment”
