Im a simple man -- I see Ally has uploaded video, I watch video, I order slug & snails by robert cameron, I cheer Ally on through her sick days... we love you Ally! Thanks for making Sundays better :)
Making friends who are also on the spectrum and/or deal with chronic pain was a game changer for me. They never take it personally when I need to cancel plans and I do the same for them. We get it.
This video encapsulates the reason that Bloomin’ is my favorite readathon on booktube, and why yours is my favorite channel. As someone who also struggles with chronic illness and mental health…thank you, thank you, thank you for being a constant champion for self-compassion. Your channel/Patreon is the coziest, funniest, most invigorating corner on the internet, and your videos are the only one that I make time for consistently each week. Waking up on Sundays to this loveliness is the best gift in the world. All the love and healing vibes, and solidarity 👍🏼 in not counting the good days, simply enjoying and appreciating them. ❤❤❤
I cried at the end of this one, Ally. I hope today was a good day for you. Counting them never helps. One of my all-time favorite literary quotes is so simple but so true: "Today was a good day. I'm glad I noticed." (The World According to Garp by John Irving) 💙
the god of small things is so so wonderful! I think it was the first book by an Indian author to win the booker prize, and the author herself is such a wonderful activist who writes really great essays about caste, the environment, and so much more
I can relate so much on cancelling plans with friends all the time! Having a chronic illness can be so frustrating when you want to just do the things. Thank you for always being honest about how you're feeling and what you're going through. Makes me feel not so alone ❤
I needed this video today. I so desperately want to read all the books and get all the bingos for bloomin readathon but reality is I have college, and kids, and work, and mental health stuff and it’s okay if right now I don’t read all the things but get to read and just exist in the small spaces I can.
WHAT'S UP BLOOMERS! i loved that greeting at the start and shall henceforth refer to myself as a bloomer when describing my fondness for this channel 😂😂😂 thank you for your transparency and sharing both the hard weeks and good weeks, the camaraderie is really comforting especially at times like this when i'm also having a rough time. and heck yeah for all of us reminding ourselves that this is a RELAXED readathon. i'm gonna upload a blooming reading vlog on the 30th and so far the theme of what i've filmed has been "ya know what at least we're reading so let's give ourselves credit for that at least i guess *shrug* sigh oh well!"
Shannon also made sweatshirts a few years ago that say "I am a force of nature, the world will wait for me" to remind everyone who is chronically ill of the same message that you talk about, that everyone is on their own timelines and that doesn't make their life any less valuable. As someone who's had migraines for the last almost 10 years, in addition to hypermobility, circulation problems, and a whole lotta anxiety while also being in grad school and working, your channel is such a place of comfort for me. I've been following along for the last few years and am so thankful for everything you've shared. From me also laying on the couch with neck pain and a headache to you, I hope you're able to feel better soon!
The fact that this made me cry 😭 I have a chronic illness ~diabetes type one~ and had such a horrible painful day today so it brings me so much joy to see you strive to continue to enjoy all the little moments in life 💕 Excuse me while I binge all your videos hehe
With tomorrow x3, what made me sad is that book was pitched as a book about importance of friendship, but our main friends were basically a will they won't they relationship and author basically explicitly states multiple times it would be easier if both of them got together. Also the way certain character went away from the narrative really took me out, they were carrying the book for me.
i totallyyyyy get this!! i think the will they won’t they aspects weren’t too bad for me because i really didn’t see that as being the core of their relationship or what was driving the book forward, but i 100% agree that the absence of aforementioned character was a HUGE loss for the book as a whole (which is like, the point, but still.)
that's fair! in my opinion, i think they did a good job at showing that it was better that they were just friends! i do about learning about the side characters being a little distracting.
Ally, your hair in the beginning of the video looks so lovely!! I'm so happy you read tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow and completely agree with all the points you made in your review. And those mugs you bought agh I'm in love!! I'm so sorry to hear your health isn't so good at the moment but hopefully you'll feel better soon, sending all the good vibes your way :))
Your snails are so perfectly adorable! I love when you show them. I don’t have chronic pain, but I have horrible mental health days that can cause my body to just not work properly, and I have to cancel on friends so often. You are so good at making everyone feel comfortable when watching your videos, and I always look forward to a new one.
hi allison! i’m a silent viewer but i felt inspired to comment today 💕 i just wanted to say that your videos always make me smile and laugh sooo much lol and the songs from zelda, mario, animal crossing etc. make me cry because i used to play those games when i was little and it’s so beautiful 😭 love u
The God of small things is a story from my hometown in the state of Kerala in South India and I'm so excited for you to read it! It's a beautiful book but also very heartbreaking. If you like it you should definitely read ' The ministry of utmost happiness' by the same author. I'm so happy to see you read Indian books!
It's late evening, I'm on my period and fighting cramps, but I'm watching Allison, drinking mojito and my husband made me carrot cupcakes - I'm so happy!
I think it every time but forget to comment how much I love your music choice in your videos 🥹 hearing the familiarity of studio ghibili made my heart so warm. Sending healing love your way ally!
Since I started college Sundays have been non-negotiable rest days, and your videos (plus Bloomin!) has been a huge part of helping me not burn out in a spectacular conflagration ✨
Okay shut up, that cover of God of Small things is very cute. But i have to say the vibe is nothing like it. You should definitely definitely pick it up this month!!! It is so tropical and beautiful and i am really really excited for you to read it. I will actually cry.
just took my state tests today. i was in there for 6 hours, and i made some silly mistakes that made me really upset. so it's nice to be home with a new cozy Allison video
The God of Small Things was my favorite book I read last year! I loved it so much! The writing is absolutely excuisate and the story is beautiful and I really really recommend!
Tomorrow x3 was a favorite until I reached the last 3rd. Everything u said, plus thoughts on friendship! So beautiful and wonderful. Was so gripped yet disappointed by the end. I still love GZ and that book and I’m glad I read it but wish I could’ve given those characters what I wanted for them lolol
Hi Ally! I also bought tomorrow, tomorrow & tomorrow after hearing john green’s glowing review on a podcast but i ended up feeling similarly to you. The last 1/4 left me feeling unsatisfied and weird so i’m glad i’m not alone!! also thank you for doing what you do & for creating videos that have always been a source of comfort for me :) (i’ve been silently watching your videos since i was like 12 & i’m 25 now lmao)
I didn’t know you had chronic pain going into this, thank you for sharing so much about it in this video! I loved all the recommendations between neurodivergency and chronic illness books/writers, and I totally related to what you said about reading as escapism as well!! I’m disabled/neurodivergent/chronically ill and books have definitely been my lifeline for a long time. Anyway, love your videos so much, always feel super inspired by the end. 🥰
I hope your week ahead is better with far less pain. I read The God of Small Things ten or so years ago. I remember liking it , and Goodreads says I gave it 4 stars.
I completely understand. I have panic attack disorder and I have been all over the place mentally this entire month because of stress. And I picked up 3 books as well to loose myself in. Pumpkin heads, everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too and the poppy war. And it’s helped ❤😊 I hope you feel better soon, and your right it’s not a race so take it easy and be kind to yourself. That’s all we really can do. Xoxo
soooo glad you loved tomorrowx3 so much :)) while i was reading i totally felt the same way abt the last quarter falling a little flat, but in retrospect some of those sections (pioneers in particular) have stuck with me just as much as earlier parts of the book. it so quickly became one of my all time favorites! (it also birthed what i think may be my absolute best spotify playlist based on a book, and i make a LOT of those…)
i enjoy your vlogs oh so much and also appreciate you sharing about your chronic illness experience bc oof yeah my back pain came back with a vengeance in the last month and it's been an emotional ride and diving back into books brought me much needed joy. k-pop keeps bringing me joy of course haha buti legit read like a book a day for a week when i was in the midst of one of my worst pain weeks bc it was like yup this is all that i can do while i lay on my heating pad. hope you keep being as kind to yourself as you are to us viewers! and ooh i'm looking forward to reading zevin's book this week!
I too am a migraneur and I'm sorry it's been so painful for you. I liked your vlog a lot. Becky Chambers is so good! I hope you enjoy the rest of her books.
ugh i love your videos so much! you’re making me want to be T&T&T, and also Hood Feminism sounds like something i need to read!! i’m sorry you haven’t been feeling the best. i hope things in the mental/physical health arena start looking up for you! (but as someone who is also chronic in both areas i know that it’s just how life goes for us so yk) also what shelves do you have? i’ve been looking for ones like yours but haven’t found much haha! your shelves along with the book selection and decor are the EXACT vibes i’m going for🤍
Yayyy a new ally video! I am stressed because I have an autism assessment in 2 days but you always make me feel better ❤❤ have a great day! (I also lovvvve hearing you talk about snails so passionately)
I just wanted to say that I loooove your personality. Feels like a breath of fresh air. So yeah instant subscribe haha. Also the little prince mug thoooo
Yay! You are clicking and clacking away on those needles…good for you!! A little health note-with reading and knitting, your head is bent along with your neck for long periods of time. Take plenty of breaks and stretch that area and drink tons of water! Hope you and hubs are doing well. Bloom away chicky!!!
One of my fave books is the god of small things. I didn't know that it has been reissued in a beautiful edition. maybe that's the uk edition? you will love it. one of my top 20 books oat.
I'm sorry you get migraines so often, I get them too. Used to be all the time until I changed a few things about my diet and started taking certain vitamins. Not sure what you take currently, but I know for sure that magnesium is a big help as well as turmeric curcumin for inflammation. Lots of others out there too, maybe some could help? I just hate seeing others suffer from migraines, I know how terrible they are. I wish you all the luck in your search to reduce their frequency/severity!
I just read A Frog in the Fall (and later on) by Linnea Sterte and I think you’d absolutely love it! It’s a beautiful graphic novel that I’ve never seen any one talk about. If you can find it I definitely recommend it
oh my god dude the god of small things is one of my favorite books of all time. It reads like amazing poetry to me. I really hope you read it and let us know your thoughts!!
I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to say that Hood Feminism is so, so good and I'm really glad you liked it. I think you'd also enjoy Inferior by Arianna Saini, Come as You Are by Dr. Emily Nagoski, and Feminism Interrupted by Lola Olufemi. Also, may I ask where you bought your glasses ? They're so pretty!
Not related to the video, but today I bought a sticker of a girl taking a nap on a snail, definitely inspired by your love of snails and it is colorful and adorable. Have a nice day!
just a little warning about the god of small things - a central plot point is around child SA and it’s described in a lot of detail, both the SA and the aftermath. i know you have expressed in the past having trouble with books because of this, so just wanted to make sure you’re safe while reading it because it came out of nowhere in the book and really caught me off guard!
Two things!! 1. I hope your feeling better! ❤ Also have you ever gone to a chiropractor? I deal with chronic migraines, so far it’s helped reduce and relive some of the pain. Granted it took me a long time to get ever being touched until my mom went with me lol. She wasn’t a fan of the noise but she said that as long as we our together we’ll survive it. 2. I don’t know why but I swear I thought you would’ve picked Bunny by Mona Awad 😂
this is the first fall where I am experiencing seasonal depression. let’s give it up for experiencing seasonal depression twice this year! I had no intention of reading Tomorrow(x3) but now… I need it! also also, what headphones do you use? 🐌
I've been feeling very out of sorts!! I'm on antibiotics because of a tooth abscess. It's cold and going to snow. I DNFed about SIX (6) books this passed month. Can not get interested in anything. Want to sleep all day!!!
Hello, gorgeous! I'm from Panama 🇵🇦 I subscribed to your channel 'cause I love books so much, you are so cool, original and fresh and I need practice and improve my english. Thank you a lot for your funny, relaxing and interesting videos. 🤗😘🌹✌
i luv yr videos sm!! they make sundays good again and not remind me of all the sundays i had to pretend to be christian lol! also! i was wondering what noise canceling headphones you use? and would u recommend them?
Hi, Alli! 🧡 Would you mind letting me know where the mugs are from exactly? I adooore them & Im visiting Brussels in January & would love to visit the shop then and see what I can find 🥰
From one internet stranger to another, I think you will love God of Small Things!! I work in a bookshop and it's one of the owner's favorite books (tis very sad though)
Im a simple man -- I see Ally has uploaded video, I watch video, I order slug & snails by robert cameron, I cheer Ally on through her sick days... we love you Ally! Thanks for making Sundays better :)

Anybody else sing the opening theme music to Ally’s videos aloud every time?? 😂
I love all her music!
@@parkerrose3590 same. I get especially excited when it’s from Zelda.
EVERY time! "BAHbahbahbumbumbumbum DOO do DOOO do DOOOO do DOOOOOOOOO, *sprinkle sound, i basically say brrrrrring...*..."
@@ChloeTheePayne hahaha this is amazing! 😂 I attempted to type it out but couldn’t get it just right.
the god of small things is so so wonderful! I think it was the first book by an Indian author to win the booker prize, and the author herself is such a wonderful activist who writes really great essays about caste, the environment, and so much more
I need her to read this rn
the god of small things was assigned reading at my high school! even as a jaded teen I loved the writing, it was so so beautiful and transportive!
your cats are the absolute sweetest little buddies. noone is as supportive of a day on the sofa quite like a cat.
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. Give the cats some cuddles for me. You've got this wonderful wholesome lady ❤️🤗❤️
I can relate so much on cancelling plans with friends all the time! Having a chronic illness can be so frustrating when you want to just do the things. Thank you for always being honest about how you're feeling and what you're going through. Makes me feel not so alone ❤

Sending all the love ❤and praying you feel better soon ❤ your videos always make my day so much better :’)
Thats such a cool take on textbooks. It makes them definitely less intimidating.. And I'm so curious to see how your knitting-project will turn out 🤓
I BOUGHT THE TEA ADVANCED CALENDAR FROM YOGI TEA!!! IS GOING TO BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DECEMBER
that god of small things cover is STUNNINGGGG
it’s one of my favorite books ever
One of my fave books is the god of small things. I didn't know that it has been reissued in a beautiful edition. maybe that's the uk edition?
you will love it. one of my top 20 books oat.
I'm sorry you get migraines so often, I get them too. Used to be all the time until I changed a few things about my diet and started taking certain vitamins. Not sure what you take currently, but I know for sure that magnesium is a big help as well as turmeric curcumin for inflammation. Lots of others out there too, maybe some could help? I just hate seeing others suffer from migraines, I know how terrible they are. I wish you all the luck in your search to reduce their frequency/severity!
Love your space Allie, you’re a lovely person and creator. 💗
Ahhh the sims music!
Taking a book to the gym is so hardcore actually! 🤟🏾😆 annnd I kinda want to check out that snail textbook now!
The God of Small Things is beautifully written. It can be challenging, but don't let that intimidate you. It's a great book.
I love watching your vlogs 📚❤️
I just read A Frog in the Fall (and later on) by Linnea Sterte and I think you’d absolutely love it! It’s a beautiful graphic novel that I’ve never seen any one talk about. If you can find it I definitely recommend it
I just adore your TH-cam channel!
oh my god dude the god of small things is one of my favorite books of all time. It reads like amazing poetry to me. I really hope you read it and let us know your thoughts!!
BROCCOLI BURGER WHAT YUM
laurens going IN on that song yesyes YES
Great vlog 📚☕😎💯👍🌈
♥♥♥ sending you positive vibes and lots and lots of love :-)
I really hope you will have a much better week, take care of yourself
I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to say that Hood Feminism is so, so good and I'm really glad you liked it. I think you'd also enjoy Inferior by Arianna Saini, Come as You Are by Dr. Emily Nagoski, and Feminism Interrupted by Lola Olufemi.
Also, may I ask where you bought your glasses ? They're so pretty!
thank you for the recs!
& these glasses are from glasses usa :-)
I liked for the snail content
Not related to the video, but today I bought a sticker of a girl taking a nap on a snail, definitely inspired by your love of snails and it is colorful and adorable. Have a nice day!
🥲💜 (sending virtual hugs)
just a little warning about the god of small things - a central plot point is around child SA and it’s described in a lot of detail, both the SA and the aftermath. i know you have expressed in the past having trouble with books because of this, so just wanted to make sure you’re safe while reading it because it came out of nowhere in the book and really caught me off guard!
wow thank you so much for warning me
Your braided hair... your cuddly cats... !!!
EEEK such a great vid ally!! but WHAT ARE YOU SCHEMING???
Two things!!
1. I hope your feeling better! ❤
Also have you ever gone to a chiropractor? I deal with chronic migraines, so far it’s helped reduce and relive some of the pain. Granted it took me a long time to get ever being touched until my mom went with me lol. She wasn’t a fan of the noise but she said that as long as we our together we’ll survive it.
2. I don’t know why but I swear I thought you would’ve picked Bunny by Mona Awad 😂
this is the first fall where I am experiencing seasonal depression. let’s give it up for experiencing seasonal depression twice this year!
I had no intention of reading Tomorrow(x3) but now… I need it!
also also, what headphones do you use?
🐌
I've been feeling very out of sorts!! I'm on antibiotics because of a tooth abscess. It's cold and going to snow.
I DNFed about SIX (6) books this passed month. Can not get interested in anything.
Want to sleep all day!!!
get well soon! 🌼
