i've been struggling to find a good book lately but i just read two back to back five star reads and cant wait to share them! have you read anything amazing lately or are you in a 'meh' book period too?
I’m in a serious slump. Like been reading pages here and there the last couple of weeks and not finishing anything. I’m almost halfway done with ACOMAF and I’m enjoying it but I’m just idk. IDK. Like at all lol
Whenever I'm in this mood, I find that middle grade is the way to go. Currently reading A Pinch of Magic (about 3 sisters with magical objects on an adventure to break the family curse) and I'm looking at The Marvellers (magical boarding school set on the clouds) as my next read.
As a subscriber of both of your channels, I don’t get bored at all! Even if every vlog was you in the house or you in one neighborhood in Seoul, I think how you see/explain the world and how it shows through your shots and editing and music is so comforting and enjoyable to watch! I love seeing life through your eyes, even what you might think of as the “unexciting” or “normal” parts!
You give me so much comfort about not being scared to grow up and experience life.. that one day I’ll be able to truly live and do all the things that make me happy 🥺💗 ily sm cari
Sometimes I actually prefer the casual vlogs because they're just so relaxing and they don't make me feel bad about my life lol😅 Like, if someone travels all the time and goes to events non stop (or at least that's all they show), it can give me so much fomo. Usually all I want is a cute, chill vlog I can play in the background ❤ Can't wait for the next Shadowhunters plot summary 😍
just finished this video and seeing just how much effort and time you put into your content is astounding and it really is evident throughout your content. seeing the process was really enjoyable and interesting! hope you know just how much we appreciate your work.
it’s been four months since my ex boyfriend cheated on me and broke my heart, here I am loving your channel because your one of my therapy channels. and you get me through each day when I rewatch your videos! ❤
I love these little vlogs even if there isn't much "new" to talk about, just watching you do little things and going to little places (when you can) it's fun it's chill I love this type of slow content that's just about existing
It is insane how well you manage your space. Before I followed your main channel I thought you had like multiple rooms to film in because different varieties of videos had different backgrounds and it did not feel like it was the same room At All.
the behind the scenes of the plot summary videos are hilarious😭😭 i don’t think i’ll ever be able to watch them the same again now that i know cari is sitting on a pillow throne during them LMFAOOO
I just saw the cover of House of Flames and Shadow. Swear, swear, swear my first thought was, “oh I can’t wait for Cari to do the video telling me this story!!” 🙄🤣
I love these types of content. I have a small group of TH-camrs I like to watch constantly and you're my top one rn. I love to have these types of videos play in the background while I'm doing housework or just working in general because it feels less lonely. So absolutely make more of these!!!
i've been having pretty bad anxiety all day and have been overwhelmed from packing to move but I decided to put this video on in the background and it calmed me down so much so I appreciate you
YT recommended your other channel for me today. I’ve watched curious about a non Korean living in Seoul (K pop and K drama fan here 😂) and I ended up liking, inclusing Lingoda recommendation which I am in need once learning french on my own. Then you mentined this book channels and I also love booktubers… so, here I am on a lazy saturday morning. Cheers from 🇧🇷
Cari!!! I appreciate and love all the thought and work that goes into making your plot summary videos! They always make my day and enjoy hearing your commentary on them!! Thank you sooo much for all your hard work!
First time watching your videos and absolutely love the entire section of you talking about rain with an Irish sign on the windowsill! Can't wait to watch more content, love from Ireland where it has been downpouring for a week and a half now
I’m just thinking about you and your partner sleeping with the unhinged collage of character fan art on your wall while you’re filming these 😂 I truly appreciate your dedication cari!! ❤️🔥
Just stumble with your Crescent City video (haven't watch it yet) and found your channel so interesting and now I see you're living in Korea and I love your editing, your personality and book taste. Loving this vibe and content! Subscribed!
I loved seeing the behind-the-scenes of your plot breakdown videos, which I love to listen to amid having read the books. I'm excited for the plot breakdown for the next books in the Mortal Instruments series!!! Sending you lots of love, Cari!! Thank you so much for the amazing vibes your videos provide!! ❤❤
Missed being here, watching your vids Cari! For some reason, I stayed far away from booktube when I started my teaching career (got super busy with it being my day job) but now that I revisited my booktube account and all that I follow, I feel so happy to hugged first by your soothing, inspiring, motivating booktube content-making vlog! Lots of love, Cari! - Literate Rue 🌸
Oh Cari I'm so glad i found your channel, been binging all of your videos multiple times! Not sure where to post this video idea, but I'd love to see a video where you explore books by new or indie authors. I feel like there's so many good stories out there that never see the light of day, and it would be so cool to spotlight some! Anyways either way, hope you have a lovely day if you see this ❤
Hey Cari! I love reading, but it had been a WHILE since I'd read a book for pleasure and I didn't know what to pick or what would get me out of a very long reading slump. Thanks to you I discovered some of my all time favorite books such as Sorcery of thorns, Six of Crows... forever grateful for that!!!!!
I love this kind of vlog, I really enjoy seeing everyday life. All the cafes, bus journeys, bookshops etc are really very interesting to someone who will probably never get to visit Korea.
I loved this video! Seeing a bit of your everyday life (both in this video and others) is really inspiring me to seriously consider working abroad in the future (and possibly return to Korea). I have a feeling that your channels are gonna be my new obsession for the next few days.
I follow your main channel too, but must I say I love these little short book focused vlogs you've been doing! Due to time differences these get uploaded at like 8/9/10pm for me and I absolutely love to watch one and it helps me wind down for the night before bed 😊
Always such a cozy time watching either of your channels🥰 And absolutely feel you on the library 'problem', I just hit my hold limit after delaying my holds for so long and so many just came in at once and I gotta get to reading them 😅 the clock is ticking
thank you for making this!! i just came from 5 weeks of europe travel (from aus) and i am exhausted and about to have an ND burnout crash, so this content is so good rn
We are having a bit of a rainy season here in Manchester too. I come from Oklahoma where it rains like 10 times a year 😂. So the whole raining for 2 weeks straight thing is very foreign to me. It is putting a damper on the summer experience though.
Always enjoy your vlog content! Also as far as 'spooky' reads, one I'm looking forward to coming out is 'The Dead Take the A Train'. Basically seems like an adult horror + fantasy novel set in NYC that I'm gonna read during spooky fall season 😁
Sheesh! It really is rainy season there lol how long does it last? Hope you get some sun back soon girlie! You are one of my fave rays of book sunshine for sure 😘
I just realised you have two chanels. 😂 I am following you just three months but thank you for your work. Your videos are inpiring and so relaxing. I always get the urge to read a new book (I am a huge reader anyway). ❤
my favorite yt channel ever, ily so much, thank you for your beautiful work, you bring me so much joy !!! hope i'll see you soon in france ! have a beautiful day and pleins de bisous de france 😚
Your videos literally make me forget how lonely i am for a couple of minutes. Context: i just moved to a new city for college and i'm trying really hard to adjust here.
Thank you for showing the foot mask, peel thing. I really need to get it when I go to Korea next time. Also I wanna hit up more book store and cafes after seeing this.
I'm the same, this year is so so for me in terms of reads. But I read Graceling which you recommended a few videos ago and I loved it! Hope life is treating you well 😊
Hi! Im a new subscriber but i really love your vibe and i was thrilled to find out that you live in Seoul too! Do you have any tips on getting western books in seoul? cause its honestly a pain in the ass to find them
Cari, I love your channel and would really like to recommend a book for you. I am a romantic girlie and there's this author that I love and just don't see many creators talking about, Mhairi McFarlane. I would recommend If I Never Met You, which has a few famous tropes but also the good writing of hers, which focuses on the characters feelings and their development. I love it cause they feel real and I think you would have lots of fun with it. Love you girl!
i've been struggling to find a good book lately but i just read two back to back five star reads and cant wait to share them! have you read anything amazing lately or are you in a 'meh' book period too?
currently reading M. L. Wang new dark academia "Blood Over Bright Haven" and I feel like this is going to be on my top list!!!!!
@@ejderhaz ohh i havent even heard of that! looking it up rn!
I’m in a serious slump. Like been reading pages here and there the last couple of weeks and not finishing anything. I’m almost halfway done with ACOMAF and I’m enjoying it but I’m just idk. IDK. Like at all lol
Whenever I'm in this mood, I find that middle grade is the way to go. Currently reading A Pinch of Magic (about 3 sisters with magical objects on an adventure to break the family curse) and I'm looking at The Marvellers (magical boarding school set on the clouds) as my next read.

Thank you!! It’s very fun for me so im happy to do the work hehehh
Cari you’re way too hard on yourself. I love your content, it’s not redundant, and you’re a way better writer than you think.

My favorite luxury problem, having too many library books come in at once 😆 I’m suffering from it right now

This video is giving me hard core studio ghibli vibes ✨
🥰🥰🥰
I loved this video! I love all your book videos, but it is lovely to see what your life is like as a booktuber outside of just reading :)
I love this kind of vlog, I really enjoy seeing everyday life. All the cafes, bus journeys, bookshops etc are really very interesting to someone who will probably never get to visit Korea.
thank youuu!
I really love these types of vlogs and would love it if it became a regular thing on this channel :-)
thank you!
i love your chill and casual vlogs 💗
I would definitely watch all 4 and a half hours unedited. Thanks so much for your hard work! Long form movie length videos are my new fav!
LOL! its just a lot of long pauses while i read my next chunk of notes so the unedited version is painfully awkward hahaha
I loved this video! Seeing a bit of your everyday life (both in this video and others) is really inspiring me to seriously consider working abroad in the future (and possibly return to Korea). I have a feeling that your channels are gonna be my new obsession for the next few days.

Aw I love the wee Irish motif
Your videos are so calming and relaxing! It’s like medicine for my anxiety!

Love the throne of pillows 😂❤ btw I finally caved and signed up for the botm (with CARI ofc) ❤ can't wait to start reading immortal longings!

Throne of Pillows sounds like it could be a funny version of an SJM book 🤣
Your earring/earcuff is so pretty!!
Always such a cozy time watching either of your channels🥰
And absolutely feel you on the library 'problem', I just hit my hold limit after delaying my holds for so long and so many just came in at once and I gotta get to reading them 😅 the clock is ticking

they're so good!!
Your kindle case is perfect! Have you been reading more on your kindle than your iPad? Do you like it more?
I'm the same, this year is so so for me in terms of reads. But I read Graceling which you recommended a few videos ago and I loved it! Hope life is treating you well 😊
Oh yay!!! Im so glad!
this vlog is so lovely
love this !! id love to travel to korea one day it looks so beautiful

Hi! Im a new subscriber but i really love your vibe and i was thrilled to find out that you live in Seoul too! Do you have any tips on getting western books in seoul? cause its honestly a pain in the ass to find them
Love this video
That café… now I want to read A Series of Unfortunate Events again.
Cari, I love your channel and would really like to recommend a book for you. I am a romantic girlie and there's this author that I love and just don't see many creators talking about, Mhairi McFarlane. I would recommend If I Never Met You, which has a few famous tropes but also the good writing of hers, which focuses on the characters feelings and their development. I love it cause they feel real and I think you would have lots of fun with it. Love you girl!
