Sometimes I just put these vlogs on and listen while working. They're filmed in such a way that they serve as very calming/comfortable background noise. I love that I can follow along even if I'm not physically watching the video.
i loved everything about this vlog! Sissel's reading era, the library&cafe, sunset, news about apartment haul and it is a long vlog! 🥳💚 made my day Sissel, thank youuuu :)
I have been obsessed with fantasy books for years now. So my book recommendations would be: 1. Books by Carissa Broadbent. She has “Crowns of Nyaxia” and “The war of Lost hearts” series. Both have spicy scenes, not as hot as in Blood and Ash series. However, I really enjoyed both series. 2. The Dance of thieves duology by Mary E. Pearson. I would say that the storyline concentrates a bit more on the plot rather than the love story. But it’s very engaging. 3. Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross. The second part of the duology is planned to be released in December. There is almost no spice in this book, but the story is so beautiful and poetic. Since I’m from Ukraine, some of the war descriptions were a bit triggering, but it made the story and characters very relatable
You're going to look amazing in the hanbok, can't wait to see pics of you both! / My fiance and I are currently saving for a home. And US homes could use some design touches from Korea though. But i totally get why you were mixed about the place you toured. P.S. You are absolutely glowing in this vlog.
Tbh, typical Korean design choices are often very tacky. I think they and maybe us homes could use some Scandinavian touch 🙊 not to sound way too cocky hahahaha. But that’s so exciting for you tho, I hope you find your dream family home 💚 thank you so much 💚
Love your hanbok, the colours are absolutely “you”, and beautiful! I don’t have other social media (too stressful), so I won’t be able to see you dressed in the stunning hanbok…😢 Also really cool to see you with your hair down, you look really pretty, I’m loving the waves 🥰
Since you liked the ACOTAR series so much I think you would also enjoy one of my absolute favorite series by Juliet Marillier "Daughter of the Forest". I think I have read all of her books. Also, to start of the winter season: Katherine Arden's "Winternight Trilogy. It's sooo good. Then, if you like epic fantasy and crazy good world building I recommend Brandon Sanderson's "Mistborn" series. Enjoy!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow. I don't think ive ever seen a green hanbok before. Its like a evergreen color and goes so well with the white and the designs. You really picked a unique colorway thats 1of1.
Idk why but you look so happy and fascinated when you talk about books and since I'm a big reader too (many Japanese authors they have really good books) it feels great to see how passionate you are about your new found hobby!,🤩🥰
I only read asian (chinese basically) based books nowdays... she who became the sun is my fav book ever, it's so good... daughter of the moon goddess, poppy war etc. If the story goes another way i drop it 😅😅
I love all the outings you do it’s equal amounts of quality time with yourself, girlfriends and Jake! Such a good balance. I haven’t read any spicy books but now you have me wanting to😂
If you like spicy novels I quite enjoyed reading all of those: Sylvain Reynard series #1 Gabriel's Inferno #2 Gabriel's Rapture #3 Gabriel's Redemption #4 Gabriel's Promise Crossfire series by Sylvia Day #1 Bared to You #2 Reflected in You #3 Entwined with You #4 Captivated by You #5 One with You Samantha Young - On Dublin Street
The book game is strong these days- enjoy! 😍 The german version of once upon a broken heart just got released last week *adds to TBR* but books are a girls best friends 🤷🏼♀️ also if you want to read the Caraval series too, i recommend doing it before once upon a broken heart because its a spin off and some characters will be known from caraval (great great fantasy story with superb telling!)
언니! 잘 아시겠지만 요즘 서울은 빌라 전세사기 정말 조심하셔야해요 ㅠㅠ 아파트는 그래도 어느정도 시세가 형성되어 있어서 시세보다 보증금이 비싸면 그래도 금방 눈치챌 수 있는데, 빌라는 시세확인이 모호하니까 실제 빌라 가격보다 전세금을 더 받는 집도 많다고 그러더라구요 꼭 잘 알아보고 안전한 집으로 이사가셨으면 좋겠어요!!
Love u talking about books! I also became obssessed last year again. You absolutely have to read Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas after reading Throne of Glass :D
Haven’t even started watching it but already looking forward to it!! Have had a bit of a stressful last 2 hours at work so this will be nice for when it’s cooled down a bit ❤
Sissel is so beautiful to see the way you evolve and change in your live with someone you love so much thaks for sharing with us, and don't worry too much about that specific apartment, I'm sure your future house is out somewhere near. Love love your videos, they bring so much light and joy to the world, and your happiness inspires me towards my own goals and peaceful living. Wanted to send you lots of love and good wishes for your future house, married life and the children you are waiting to have some day. XOXO from Mexico, ps, visit whenever it's a nice place with even nicer people.
I am sick and feeling guilty for not doing much. Thank you for helping me relax 🙏. I recommend Ilona Andrews. The Kate Daniels series is great, also the Innkeeper series ( no smut in the latter, though 🤭)
Oh love allow yourself to relax completely without guilt. It’s the only way you can recharge properly and the only way you can eventually get back to happy productive action. Sending love 💚
Okay so I totally recommend Fouth Wing and Iron Flame which just came out like 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago. And they are by Rebecca Yarros as its a amazing book series.
if you like spicy read icebreaker!! its romance, not fantasy, but its a quick read, and VERY spicy, and its really good :) also, that stiff fabric is called “tulle” in english. its pronounced like “tool”
lol sissel I felt the same way about the duvet situation, so he went and got a king size for himself yet I still have my own 😊the best decision ever done but I still still steal a corner of his just to feel cozy next to him.
On the book thing: For Caraval, the series behind UOABH, it is probably better to read it first as UOABH spoils the whole trilogy immediately. It's also harder to understand the magic system because you don't have the background knowledge from Caraval explaining it all. Also, Stephanie Garber's writing has improved so much from Caraval that if you end up really enjoying UOABH, going back to Caraval will end in disappointment. So I would recommend reading Caraval first, but you can follow UOABH without it
than you definately need to read if you havenit already 50 shades of grey!!! its had me loose it it all the right places.......lol thank you for the vlog ... love it .... and you reading i can relate , if im reading im MIA, until ive read the whole book, its easy to find solace in your own comfort what ever that may be, and you have a wonderful body love the fact you enjoy food good on you, i myself can never eat enough to enjoy it , my body just says enough , and ive been like this since high school and im good with it, And thats what matters YOU.
Thank you very much for your vlog. Really showed us lots of you & I was so shocked to hear about the rental+ the down payment just for renting in Seoul korea. Its crazy. Do luv your hair styles in this vlog. Your are beautiful as always.
I highly agree with your thoughts on blood and ash.. I loved the first book, but all her thoughts get way too much in the following ones, so much that I could only skim-read through them. I would recommend the Cruel Prince series, it is not as spicy but I found the story very captivating and loooved the romance between the FMC and MMC, who is morally grey :) It starts a bit slow, but gets really good starting the second half of the first book.
"Freshly washed sheets are the best" - omg YES! I'm amazed with how much you got into books! Thanx to u I ordered "A court of thorns & roses" to try to get into reading again 🤞🤞🤞 The shade of your hanbok is so stunning! 💚😘
I loove the book content and that you take us to all those beautiful book stores. Especially the "sunset" one with wooden interior, its so cozy! And whenever I see Korean book covers, there's just something about them. Somehow they are like a mirror of nowadays general Korean aesthetic "trends" and the overall culture, especially the warm, down-to-earth, profound, creative, modern and cheerful sides of South Koreans. I bet its a bit obvious that book covers and the illustrations/ art on them always show a part of the country's culture that they are from, but its fascinating to see from an outsiders perspective.
Sissel! Book recs! 📚 Some are spicy romance, some are paranormal romance, some are standard romance, some are fantasy and some are sci-fi. Hope they help 😊 - The Square of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson (A recent read that I absolutely LOVED!) - The Kings series by Heather Killough-Walden - Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands - Breeds series by Lora Leigh (bordering erotic...) - Dark Protectors series by Rebecca Zanetti - Dark World series by Donna Grant, starting with Wicked Highlander - Gray Court series by Dana Marie Bell - Inheritance Cycle series by Christopher Paolini - Laurel Heights series by Kate Perry - Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks - New Species series by Laurann Dohner - Night Huntress Universe series by Jeaniene Frost - Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines - The Maddox Brothers by Jamie McGuire - The Scorpius Syndrome series by Rebecca Zanetti - The Sullivans series by Bella Andre There's a lot, I know, especially since pretty much all of them are multi-book series, but they're good reads (from what I can remember, some of them I haven't read for ages) xx
since you like fantasy and i also loved the series by Sarah J. Maas.... i recommend the tracy wolff crave series...i also devoured it. If you need more 'spice'...I recommend J.R. Ward (the Black Dagger series) and Lara Adrian.
Reading is called a guilty pleasure, because it takes so much longer to read a book, than to watch a movie. You can read away hours at a time, stay up to the early morning trying to finish a book. My husband always hated me reading, since you are closed off to yourself and usually don't want to be disturbed. Like all things, need to set boundaries on reading. Having watched K-Dramas for years and see all the plots take place in neighborhoods and homes, is this just too expensive now to have a house? Or do you choose to be in a Apt? I don't care for the feel of that Apt., seemed cold, not homey.
I completely get what you mean! I mean, I’m sitting here at 5:30am about to read. Woke up early literally just to do that 🤣 but Jake actually likes it since he’ll game next to me so it’s kinda wholesome 💚 to answer your question, yes it’s extremely expensive to own a house here. Especially a good one. Families with average income saves up for half a lifetime before being able to buy, so many will just rent 💚
hi!! so you don't really need to read the caraval series to understand this one. i've read caraval and honestly i wasn't the biggest fan... :( i'm soooo excited to read fourth wing tho, everyone seems to love it. i would also recommend divine rivals by rebecca ross and powerless by lauren roberts!!!
I loved to see that you too use two separate duvets😅 Me and my husband are not the only ones😂 (and that’s because he also complains about me stealing his duvet🤣). Love your videos❤
The hanbok is so gorgeous 😍 Sissel in her book era🙌welcome in the book club🙌☺ When it comes to reviews and recommendations, I have a feeling that the 3/4 star ones are the most genuine one, of course some 5 star ones also seem very honest, but I often don't trust the 1 star ones, since a lot of time people are just so mean and didn't read the book with an open mind if someone gets what I mean...like of course, there are very few books, that don't even deserve 1 star...the most ideal is of course to have a wide range of reviews, so you can get a feeling about the book, but in the end, we all just read what we want anyways😅
Great vlog. Have you ever read the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning? Girl, it is so interesting and spicey! Also JR Ward also has a great series as well. Your wedding outfit is beautiful. I love the green and white flowers! How lovely that your in laws got this for you.
Yes read caraval before once upon a broken heart. In Once Upon a broken heart is a spoiler written about Caraval. And the main Character is part of Caraval and I think you can better understand him and like him more if you read Caraval before. You can get better in the story/world with caraval. I read Once Upon a broken heart first, because I didn't know that.
Yay time for my Sissel girly relaxation time! Sissel I really want to know where your grey sweater, in the part you were talking about Korean textbooks, is from? 🥰
I think the Caraval series is a separate story. I read the Broken Heart books, they are more young adult but enjoyable to read. The third one just came out and it wasn’t as good
I did 4 semesters of language class and some ‘interesting’ subjects that always came back were: office work/jobs finding, food, healthy lifestyle and diet etc 😅😅😅
sissel you HAVE to read throne of glass that series legit changed my life. its soooooooooo good. so so good. one of the few fantasy novels where I genuinely loved the main character, she's just incredible.
Wellll about Fourth Wing that I started to look for more fantasy after Acotar... it was decent, and many many clichés, but the second one Iron Flame starts so much better already I am reading that one now :) so don't give up in case you don't like it as much as acotar 😅😅😅
I’m determined to finish at least the first book, I did hear most say it was absolutely amazing and then a select few that didn’t really get the hype. I hope I love it 🙊💚
@sisselab hahaha have fun!! The writing style was just not that good compared to for instance acotar which is just a page turner, but the writing style went up for iron flame so I am enjoying that one much better ;) hope your amazon shipment arrives soon!! You should do a book haul when you get all the books!!! 😍😍😍
Love seeing you in your reading era 🤭🥰 about the caraval series. You don't necessarily need to read it but I would highly recommend it. I enjoyed reading that series sm! Also OUABH series has my whole heart the way Stephenie Garber writes her books is so magical ✨️
I feel the same with From blood and ash series... I really recommend you Throne of glass, is REALLY good, definitely my favourite saga ❤❤❤ And I would love more book related talk in your videos 😍
Once again an amazing vlog and you will look stunning in hanbok for sure ! I have peeped a beautiful bookmark in this vlog and was wondering if you bought in Korea, if yes maybe you can share where, that would be lovely! Thank you love.
I‘m literally the same - started reading a couple of months ago and now I can‘t stop. ACOTAR broke me! And there‘s nothing better than going to bookstores to look at books you already read and won‘t be buying anyways 😂
OMG, i can't believe sissel picked up Once Upon a Broken Heart, I love that book so much❤❤, I would just say that the 2nd, The Ballad of Never After, is better❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ greetings from Cuba
Happy Wednesday, Sissel!😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌷🇰🇷💚💚💚💚💚💚🎇👍. Reading fantasy books is the best idea to see and study the facts. As for me, I love studying in class, at the library and at home.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. Well done!💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚👍👍
I've been in a book club for a bit over a year now, and the fantasy books haven't been the best. However, if you enjoy smut, Tessa Bailey's books are extra spicy. The best book we've read this year was a psychological thriller called 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides, hands down the best book we've read this year, needs to be a Netflix movie or show. You should totally check it out if you need a break from a long series. Your hanbok is gorgeous btw and cannot wait to see the photos!🖤
You DEFINITELY SHOULD READ CARAVAL You will be obsessed with the series, every time the next book was finally published I was reading it within 24 hours, I couldn’t sleep So yeah you won’t regret reading it and I would say that it’s soo worth it that you should go with the hardbacks
I can relate so much with what you said about reading. I think a lot of book nerds do 😊. When I read a good book, I just really can’t put it down, not wanting to work, meet people and reading through the night. It’s a bit obsessive 😅. But I love disappearing into good books. Maybe you want to check out „Three dark crowns“, by Kendare Blake. I only read the first one of the triology because my problem is starting book series and then not finishing them 😂😂, but it was really good! And yeah reading in public is some times … It happened to me several times that I actually let out a giggle when reading in public places like the train or bus stations. Always so embarrassing 🙈. Side note: In our Korean language learning book the vocabulary for husband and housewife get introduced, bet never for wife.
Sissel!! YES TO MORE BOOKS. Here are some of spicy recs: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood Gothikana by RuNyx Blood Mercy by Vela Roth House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas Happy reading ❤️
I loved this vlog! I also came across the Machacha café online and I definitely put the address on my list of places I need to visit soon! Also, I loved your V-neck black top, where did you get it? Suits you so well!! Can't wait for the next vlog~
I wish I could read in public too but I just can't focus and I can only read fast using Kindle 😑 I’m not into fantasy books but ACOTAR is an exemption.! I'm into Dark Mafia Romance right now so I would recommend the Dark Verse Series. It's a really dark romance books(w/ Trigger Warnings) but definitely worth reading.
@@sisselab kinda but less cringy, It has a really good story + spicccyyy👌🏼❤️🔥 You should read Cat and Mouse Duet too!! Booktok really really loves it! Omg, can't wait for you to meet Zade Meadows!🖤 Once you start reading dark romance I swear you'll never go back!
from the once upon a broken heart series, I didn’t love the first one but the second one ( the ballad of never after) I loveddd one word: Jacks 😅 and currently waiting for third and final book to see how it ends 😊 ( and I did not read the caraval series and for now I don’t think I will ) and currently reading Iron flame ( book 2 from the fourth wing series, I would totally recommend the girl who fell beneath the sea by axie oh, I adored it. Good luck on your reading journey 😊 omg your hanbok is stunning 💚
I think the parallel book series to Blood and Ash, called „Shadow and Ember“ is so much better than the main series. I currently read all of them in release order and I loved Shadow And Ember while Blood and Ash gets worse with each book. 🙈
Sometimes I just put these vlogs on and listen while working. They're filmed in such a way that they serve as very calming/comfortable background noise. I love that I can follow along even if I'm not physically watching the video.
i loved everything about this vlog! Sissel's reading era, the library&cafe, sunset, news about apartment haul and it is a long vlog! 🥳💚 made my day Sissel, thank youuuu :)
Aww thank you so much 💚💚

This is such good recommendations, thank you so much!! Sending love to you and your family, I hope you’re safe 💚
@@sisselab thank you so much🌸 hope you have a fun time reading all those 18 books from your Amazon order 😅 and maybe smth from my list as well
I love Divene Rivinals, that book is amazing, I can't wait for Ruthless Vows🤧
You're going to look amazing in the hanbok, can't wait to see pics of you both! / My fiance and I are currently saving for a home. And US homes could use some design touches from Korea though. But i totally get why you were mixed about the place you toured. P.S. You are absolutely glowing in this vlog.

@@sisselab Truuuuu, the coziness😍 Higge-style😂😉
Yess more book talk please, it's always so fun
wow this tea class looks like such a gorgeous experience. beautiful lesson!!
Love your hanbok, the colours are absolutely “you”, and beautiful! I don’t have other social media (too stressful), so I won’t be able to see you dressed in the stunning hanbok…😢
Also really cool to see you with your hair down, you look really pretty, I’m loving the waves 🥰
I’ll film it for the channel as well for the next video 💚 thank you so much!
Since you liked the ACOTAR series so much I think you would also enjoy one of my absolute favorite series by Juliet Marillier "Daughter of the Forest". I think I have read all of her books. Also, to start of the winter season: Katherine Arden's "Winternight Trilogy. It's sooo good. Then, if you like epic fantasy and crazy good world building I recommend Brandon Sanderson's "Mistborn" series. Enjoy!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve heard about Mistborn actually !! But not the others. Will definitely check them all out on Goodreads 😍💚
omggg i also loved acotar so I'll check these out too:) this comment section is a goldmine for books hahaha thank u❤
It’s going to be a great video, because “aparment hunting” videos is when i start watching you
Wow. I don't think ive ever seen a green hanbok before. Its like a evergreen color and goes so well with the white and the designs. You really picked a unique colorway thats 1of1.
Your hanbok!!!!💚 sooo gorgeous
thanks girl 😭💚 I’m in love with it too
Yep, we sleep with different blankets, and it’s made a big difference 🥰
It’s been 12 days since your last post…I miss you so I am binge watching your videos again 🤣❤
awwwwww haha, new video coming on Sunday 💚
Love that green hanbok! ❤
Idk why but you look so happy and fascinated when you talk about books and since I'm a big reader too (many Japanese authors they have really good books) it feels great to see how passionate you are about your new found hobby!,🤩🥰
I only read asian (chinese basically) based books nowdays... she who became the sun is my fav book ever, it's so good... daughter of the moon goddess, poppy war etc. If the story goes another way i drop it 😅😅
oh I saw one of those as well!! I’m very curious about daughter of the moon goddess, I should check it out 💚
@@sisselabI would really recommend 'The girl who fell beneath the the sea' by Axie Oh.
My favorite read last year too! Much more war based but not boring in my opinion. Loved the audiobook for it.
the poppy war trilogy is incredible!! it’s a very intense read tho, so definitely not for everyone!
I love all the outings you do it’s equal amounts of quality time with yourself, girlfriends and Jake! Such a good balance. I haven’t read any spicy books but now you have me wanting to😂
Girl once you go spicy you don’t go back 🤣💚🌶️
If you like spicy novels I quite enjoyed reading all of those:
Sylvain Reynard series
#1 Gabriel's Inferno
#2 Gabriel's Rapture
#3 Gabriel's Redemption
#4 Gabriel's Promise
Crossfire series by Sylvia Day
#1 Bared to You
#2 Reflected in You
#3 Entwined with You
#4 Captivated by You
#5 One with You
Samantha Young - On Dublin Street
One of my favourite vlogs! Friends time, great spots, books and hanbok! Yaaaasssssss
Awww yayy thank you 💚💚
The folk of the air is soooo good I felt for both of the principal characters
The book game is strong these days- enjoy! 😍
The german version of once upon a broken heart just got released last week *adds to TBR* but books are a girls best friends 🤷🏼♀️ also if you want to read the Caraval series too, i recommend doing it before once upon a broken heart because its a spin off and some characters will be known from caraval (great great fantasy story with superb telling!)

10:48 I could just pause there and look at her for eternity. She's so gaaddamn beautiful
I Fell in love with the color. Its just too pretty 😍

- The Scorpius Syndrome series by Rebecca Zanetti
- The Sullivans series by Bella Andre
There's a lot, I know, especially since pretty much all of them are multi-book series, but they're good reads (from what I can remember, some of them I haven't read for ages) xx
omg thank u!!!!!
I am definitely happy to watch you talk books as much as you want. 😅
Yey! New vlog!!! On it!
😍🫶🏼💚
Omg love ur cosy vlogs so much Sissel!🥹🥰 thanks for making my day
💚💚💚
Great vlog as per usual!
Book Dec - the Host by Stephanie Mayers (author of the Twilight saga 😊) a little old from early 2000s but gold!
Oooo I’ll check it out! 💚
since you like fantasy and i also loved the series by Sarah J. Maas.... i recommend the tracy wolff crave series...i also devoured it. If you need more 'spice'...I recommend J.R. Ward (the Black Dagger series) and Lara Adrian.
Reading is called a guilty pleasure, because it takes so much longer to read a book, than to watch a movie. You can read away hours at a time, stay up to the early morning trying to finish a book. My husband always hated me reading, since you are closed off to yourself and usually don't want to be disturbed. Like all things, need to set boundaries on reading. Having watched K-Dramas for years and see all the plots take place in neighborhoods and homes, is this just too expensive now to have a house? Or do you choose to be in a Apt? I don't care for the feel of that Apt., seemed cold, not homey.
I completely get what you mean! I mean, I’m sitting here at 5:30am about to read. Woke up early literally just to do that 🤣 but Jake actually likes it since he’ll game next to me so it’s kinda wholesome 💚 to answer your question, yes it’s extremely expensive to own a house here. Especially a good one. Families with average income saves up for half a lifetime before being able to buy, so many will just rent 💚
And it takes so much longer to write a book than read a book. ;)
hi!! so you don't really need to read the caraval series to understand this one. i've read caraval and honestly i wasn't the biggest fan... :( i'm soooo excited to read fourth wing tho, everyone seems to love it. i would also recommend divine rivals by rebecca ross and powerless by lauren roberts!!!
Your intentional movements making somaek were beautiful as well 💚
💚🤣
I loved to see that you too use two separate duvets😅 Me and my husband are not the only ones😂 (and that’s because he also complains about me stealing his duvet🤣).
Love your videos❤
The hanbok is so gorgeous 😍
Sissel in her book era🙌welcome in the book club🙌☺
When it comes to reviews and recommendations, I have a feeling that the 3/4 star ones are the most genuine one, of course some 5 star ones also seem very honest, but I often don't trust the 1 star ones, since a lot of time people are just so mean and didn't read the book with an open mind if someone gets what I mean...like of course, there are very few books, that don't even deserve 1 star...the most ideal is of course to have a wide range of reviews, so you can get a feeling about the book, but in the end, we all just read what we want anyways😅
True ! I have a feeling that if a book is truly 1 star they wouldn’t have finished it haha 💚
sissel!!! id love to know where you got the grey sweater in the studying korean part!!
Thanks !! It’s from Paloma Wool 💚
Great vlog. Have you ever read the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning? Girl, it is so interesting and spicey! Also JR Ward also has a great series as well. Your wedding outfit is beautiful. I love the green and white flowers! How lovely that your in laws got this for you.
Ooooo mention 🌶️🌶️🌶️ and I’m looking it up 😍💚
I second the Karen Marie Moning Fae/Fever books! I was scanning the comments to see if someone would mention them!
용산역건너편과 용산역내부에도 볼거리많아요!!
Yes read caraval before once upon a broken heart. In Once Upon a broken heart is a spoiler written about Caraval. And the main Character is part of Caraval and I think you can better understand him and like him more if you read Caraval before. You can get better in the story/world with caraval. I read Once Upon a broken heart first, because I didn't know that.
oh Sissel, you’re absolutely gonna devour Fourth wing and Iron flame 🥰😏
Yay time for my Sissel girly relaxation time!
Sissel I really want to know where your grey sweater, in the part you were talking about Korean textbooks, is from? 🥰
It’s from Paloma Wool 💚🥰
Ahhhh just right before i start working❤
have a great work day! 💚
I think the Caraval series is a separate story. I read the Broken Heart books, they are more young adult but enjoyable to read. The third one just came out and it wasn’t as good
I’ve heard so yeah! But so many people loved them as a whole so I’m excited to get started 💚
I did 4 semesters of language class and some ‘interesting’ subjects that always came back were: office work/jobs finding, food, healthy lifestyle and diet etc 😅😅😅
sissel you HAVE to read throne of glass that series legit changed my life. its soooooooooo good. so so good. one of the few fantasy novels where I genuinely loved the main character, she's just incredible.
10000% on my tbr! It’s arriving early December 😍💚
Yesssssss give me all the spicy book recommendations! 🙏🏼
Coming your way soon 🙊💚
Wellll about Fourth Wing that I started to look for more fantasy after Acotar... it was decent, and many many clichés, but the second one Iron Flame starts so much better already I am reading that one now :) so don't give up in case you don't like it as much as acotar 😅😅😅
I’m determined to finish at least the first book, I did hear most say it was absolutely amazing and then a select few that didn’t really get the hype. I hope I love it 🙊💚
@sisselab hahaha have fun!! The writing style was just not that good compared to for instance acotar which is just a page turner, but the writing style went up for iron flame so I am enjoying that one much better ;) hope your amazon shipment arrives soon!! You should do a book haul when you get all the books!!! 😍😍😍
Caraval was a great series - I recommend :)
Love seeing you in your reading era 🤭🥰 about the caraval series. You don't necessarily need to read it but I would highly recommend it. I enjoyed reading that series sm! Also OUABH series has my whole heart the way Stephenie Garber writes her books is so magical ✨️
I’ve heard wonderful things about her writing as well!! Can’t wait to get started 💚
I feel the same with From blood and ash series...
I really recommend you Throne of glass, is REALLY good, definitely my favourite saga ❤❤❤
And I would love more book related talk in your videos 😍
Your Hanbok is beautiful. ❤ I want to try and make one. I got a pattern off of a Hanbok maker on instagram.
Wow that would be so much fun!! Thank you love 💚
Once again an amazing vlog and you will look stunning in hanbok for sure ! I have peeped a beautiful bookmark in this vlog and was wondering if you bought in Korea, if yes maybe you can share where, that would be lovely! Thank you love.
The Cruel Prince series by Holly Black is great, and The Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy too.
11:40
omg yesss
read Caraval firstttt
I‘m literally the same - started reading a couple of months ago and now I can‘t stop. ACOTAR broke me! And there‘s nothing better than going to bookstores to look at books you already read and won‘t be buying anyways 😂
also, who told you that Fourth Wing didn‘t have a lot of spice? 🫢
OMG, i can't believe sissel picked up Once Upon a Broken Heart, I love that book so much❤❤, I would just say that the 2nd, The Ballad of Never After, is better❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ greetings from Cuba
my favorite book is the invisble life of addie larue
haha I knew/hoped u would get ur own copies of acotar!!!
Happy Wednesday, Sissel!😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌷🇰🇷💚💚💚💚💚💚🎇👍. Reading fantasy books is the best idea to see and study the facts. As for me, I love studying in class, at the library and at home.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. Well done!💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚⭐💚👍👍
Thank you 💚
@@sisselab You're welcome.😊😙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌷💚💚💚💚💚💚😊🎇👍
I've been in a book club for a bit over a year now, and the fantasy books haven't been the best. However, if you enjoy smut, Tessa Bailey's books are extra spicy. The best book we've read this year was a psychological thriller called 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides, hands down the best book we've read this year, needs to be a Netflix movie or show. You should totally check it out if you need a break from a long series.
Your hanbok is gorgeous btw and cannot wait to see the photos!🖤
Hello:
Love your book mark. Did you make it?
Thanks for providing such lovely content!
You DEFINITELY SHOULD READ CARAVAL
You will be obsessed with the series, every time the next book was finally published I was reading it within 24 hours, I couldn’t sleep
So yeah you won’t regret reading it and I would say that it’s soo worth it that you should go with the hardbacks
I can relate so much with what you said about reading. I think a lot of book nerds do 😊. When I read a good book, I just really can’t put it down, not wanting to work, meet people and reading through the night. It’s a bit obsessive 😅. But I love disappearing into good books. Maybe you want to check out „Three dark crowns“, by Kendare Blake. I only read the first one of the triology because my problem is starting book series and then not finishing them 😂😂, but it was really good!
And yeah reading in public is some times … It happened to me several times that I actually let out a giggle when reading in public places like the train or bus stations. Always so embarrassing 🙈.
Side note: In our Korean language learning book the vocabulary for husband and housewife get introduced, bet never for wife.
Omg so true with the Korean !!! And love that for you, books are so magical 💚
Sissel!! YES TO MORE BOOKS. Here are some of spicy recs:
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
Gothikana by RuNyx
Blood Mercy by Vela Roth
House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas
Happy reading ❤️
Ooooooooo love it 😍💚
I read once upon without having read caraval and loved it anyway ❤
Ah I’m so glad to hear that 💚
I loved this vlog! I also came across the Machacha café online and I definitely put the address on my list of places I need to visit soon! Also, I loved your V-neck black top, where did you get it? Suits you so well!! Can't wait for the next vlog~
Thanks love ! It’s from Glowny 💚
would love to see more of your talks about books😂❤️
What you wish for you shall get 🙊💚
I wish I could read in public too but I just can't focus and I can only read fast using Kindle 😑 I’m not into fantasy books but ACOTAR is an exemption.! I'm into Dark Mafia Romance right now so I would recommend the Dark Verse Series. It's a really dark romance books(w/ Trigger Warnings) but definitely worth reading.
omg dark mafia romance sounds like exactly something for me HAHA kinda 365 days vibes ? 🤣🫢🌶️💚
@@sisselab kinda but less cringy, It has a really good story + spicccyyy👌🏼❤️🔥 You should read
Cat and Mouse Duet too!! Booktok really really loves it! Omg, can't wait for you to meet Zade Meadows!🖤 Once you start reading dark romance I swear you'll never go back!
from the once upon a broken heart series, I didn’t love the first one but the second one ( the ballad of never after) I loveddd one word: Jacks 😅 and currently waiting for third and final book to see how it ends 😊 ( and I did not read the caraval series and for now I don’t think I will ) and currently reading Iron flame ( book 2 from the fourth wing series, I would totally recommend the girl who fell beneath the sea by axie oh, I adored it. Good luck on your reading journey 😊 omg your hanbok is stunning 💚
Glad you say Caraval wasn’t necessary for you!! And yesss I’ve heard ballad of never after is super super good 💚😍
I like your Hair like this bc soft looking ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think the parallel book series to Blood and Ash, called „Shadow and Ember“ is so much better than the main series. I currently read all of them in release order and I loved Shadow And Ember while Blood and Ash gets worse with each book. 🙈
