Nothing like settling down for the night with a Rhiannon Vlog!💕 can’t wait for vlogmas! 🎄
Two more sleeps 😊🌟
Team paperback all the way!! Thanks for sharing your library with us -- I was in need of some new reccs! I can't wait for vlogmas :)
They’re all written in the description if you ever need to refer back 😅
Things I love...Rhiannon vlogs and books! This video is heaven for me and seeing you organise your books and display them is the icing on the cake! Would you ever consider doing more book content like the occasional recent book purchases video, or books I've loved this Winter/Summer etc?
Absolutely!!
So excited to sit down and watch tonights vlog!! 35 minutes of pure joy- cannot wait for vlogmas!!
I love floppy paperbacks!! the pages folder over perfectly!! haha, funny how we have our own preferences. I love the book shelves
I’m the same way with needing to get out but still somehow staying home too often! I find with my depression it can be hard to motivate myself to do things I enjoy/things that make me happy, even if I know I want to do them. Sometimes forcing yourself to do something that will improve your headspace is needed :•) been learning that a lot recently
That’s so true ❤️
My heart exploded when little D stopped you mid sentence, presented her drawing and then stared into the camera for a bit hahaha. Being a child is awesome!!!! Gosh I think i want one!
Thank you, Rhiannon, everything that you do is so warm and soothing
I adore floppy paperbacks! 🥰 they don't break the spine so easily
jack edwards! i love his videos. I go through phases in which I do not read a book for months and then there is a time when I read a lot of books in a short time and i would love to read a few classics, but i haven't dared to do it yet. Greetings to Delilah, she is such a sweet little Girl. Reminds me of Juno from Jolly.
I'm one of those people who much prefers a hardback. I love my books looking fresh and not damaged and it's so much easier to keep a hardback looking nice. Also I think they are so much nicer to read because they are weighty and solid to hold.
I love realistic narratives too. My recs are: A Fraction of the Whole, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (super short read but so inspiring), Amy Hempel's The Collected Stories (short stories), and The Art of Drowning (collection of poems, not as depressing as it sounds).
“I made myself a cup of coffee and forgot about it” that’s so relatable. I do it all the time. 😂
Cera Ve eye cream is fab!
I’m also a paperback, spine cracking gal. I love the look of a worn in, well loved book. I go in and out of reading like you as well and as I have ADHD and can’t focus on books sometimes, I highly recommend listening to the audiobook while following along with the physical book.
My two favourite books are Little Women (fell in love with it when I was Delilah’s age) and The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
Can't sleep and now your notification poped up so yay:) can't wait to watch this. Been watching you for years and you always calm me down xx
Hope you manage to get to sleep soon! x
@@RhiannonAshleeVlogs thank you:) I love hard back books. Always prefered them. Also I get all of my books from the library and only when I read them and decide if I love them I but them. One recommendation: The city of girls by Elisabeth Gilbert. It is heart warming-oh you have it lol:)
Ahh I've been in need of some new book recommendations, thank you so much for sharing and for all the effort you put into linking them!! Hope you're having a lovely day 💛
It took so long but I was determined!!
I suffer from mental health problems and I can’t tell you how helpful your videos have been over the years for keeping me calm and giving me company.Thank you Rhiannon.
From someone who also has their fair share of mental health problems, that’s so nice to hear ❤️
Breast and eggs was one of my favorite reads of this year!! Absolutely loved it!!
To get the stickers off the front of books use a hairdryer before you start to peel them off. The warm arm of the dryer makes them easier to peel off.
Omg I'm the same with getting all comfy on the sofa and practically falling asleep and then I go to bed and my minds like PING!🤣
I read everything I know about love and loved it! It does take a while to get into but once I was a couple of chapters in I found I related to the characters and felt like I was on the journey too.
Also, I’m the same with paperbacks, I bend them just the same and I avoid hardbacks as much as I can.
Thank you for the recommendations, I’m going to put a few of these on my Christmas list ☺️
I’ve been rewatching all your old videos the past week. I cannot believe how much Delilah has grown!
Thank you for the peace and comfort you bring. The best channel on TH-cam!❤️
Such a cosy chatty vlog - my favourite videos to watch! And it’s nice to see what other people read, all of the books together look so colourful too
There are 2 beautiful books that I love with all my heart! I really enjoyed "Where the Crawdads Sing", and these books fill in that same place in my heart when I read them!
One is "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr, which is gorgeous. I got it when I was too young to understand the significance of the subject matter, but now that I've gotten the chance to grow into the contents, I can't get my nose out of it.
Another beautiful book is "Butter Honey Pig Bread" by Francesca Ekwuyasi. I often take months and months to read books for the same reasons as you have experienced in the past, but I read this book in 3 days, and couldn't put it down. It made me cry, made my heart twist and turn, and has some of the most well written passages I have ever read.
I also wanted to say thank you! I have been watching you since your diy video on how to make a galaxy shirt out of bleach, and I always look forward to cozying up at home and watching your vlogs when the notification pops up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, comforting, and relatable self!
Book wise I highly recommend the Rosie project (and the sequels the Rosie effect and result) by Graeme simsion (especially read this if you like eleanor oliphant!) curious incident of the dog in the night by Mark haddon (this is my all time favourite), the midnight library by Matt haig and the girls by Lisa Jewell. I use superfacialist vitamin c eye cream which is nice! Such a lovely relaxing vlog, I hope your sleep improves. Sending love
I am definitely team paperback or Kindle! Just so much easier to read and far more comfortable. And, honestly, read whatever you want and don't worry about breaking spines or dog-earing pages. They're your books, you can do whatever you want with them!
your vlogs are so cozy to watch, love them!
As a reader I have found that once I have read a book I will never read them again. So I donate. This way others will enjoy and I have less clutter.
I remember being on vacation in London a few years ago and I went absolutely crazy in the book store 😆 best selection of book I’ve ever seen. I feel you with the sleep thing though. It really messes with my anxiety too
Easily done.. problem is how to get them all home 🤣
Small pleasures broke my heart at the end 💔 also can’t wait for The crawdads film!! Shelf looks fab xx
I love hearing about what other people are reading! As someone who's quite into fantasy and sci-fi, I love videos like these that give some recommendations about books I may like outside my comfort zone
Just wanted to share because I know you like sustainable options, the brand Dieux make reusable eye masks! You put your own like eye serum or cream on them and they’re silicone you put over and then can wash and reuse.
I love the new bookshelves - I can't wait to see you slowly fill them up over time.
A couple of my favourite books:
The Light Between Oceans by M. L. Stedman
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Brooklyn by Colm Toibin
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Loved this video!!! So nice hearing about your different love for books
Shuggie Bain and Hamnet were two of my favourite reads this year. They were fantastic! ‘Brutal’ is definitely apt for Shuggie 😅 I also need to go on a book-buying ban next year to work through my backlog.
I never normally write comments but I always watch you videos and feel so content and at peace. Thank you for uploading and always making my day a little brighter.
Half a world away was amazing. I picked it up after your recommendation and just loved it!
Ahhh that’s so nice to know - glad you loved it!
Cant believe you listed all the links for your books! I sometimes use dusting polish on a duster and it removes the sticky labels. Love your videos always makes me feel better.
I loved looking at all of your books, so cosy
I really found the book Sounds Sleep Sound Mind super helpful for my sleep, just passing along the rec!
Loveeee seeing your book collection! I work in publishing, so books seem to cover every surface haha. Team paperback all the way! You will have seen her books everywhere, but as a cosy January read-in-one-sitting I'd recommend Beth O'Leary's 'The Switch', 'Reputation' by Lex Croucher for laugh-out-loud regency based drama, 'Detransition Baby' by Torrey Peters, 'Homegoing' by Yaa Gyasi and of course, the infamous 'The Thursday Murder Club' by Richard Osman. Would love to hear more about what you're reading x
Ahhh I am a booktuber and this video was pure joy, I got so excited when you started talking about books in your vlogs, been following you for so long 💞 (just slowly catching up though I know this video is from last year 😬) I WISH YOU TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE LIFE, I loved it so much ❤️🩹
I also loved crawdads, it’s so beautiful! I’d recommend The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton for some gothic historical mystery, and also The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex, another mystery based on a true story and following the women left behind by the tragedy. Loved your book tour, I’m also getting some shelves soon and this gave me major excitement for them😊
I struggle sleeping sometimes as well and what helps me is to try and get to bed earlier, ideally an hour before I want to (hopefully) be going to sleep and reading. I find that extra time before going to bed without any screen time and just reading helps you unwind and rests your eyes more and you don't feel as 'switched on' as you do getting straight into bed and trying to get to sleep. P.S. You don't need to use 'eye' cream, it's all just marketing, just use your normal moisturiser around your eyes as well. x
I’m a hardcover lover! And I also just “dog ear” the pages too, I don’t think I’ve ever used a bookmark. Love the shelves 📚🤍
Love the collection!! I know you're on a book ban, but I feel like you might like Matt Haig books from your collection!!xx
I would recommend The Thursday Murder Club, it’s based around Kent and mentions your hometown (and towns around the area).
It’s also a really good story!
Oh I adore a hardback book! I’m a bit of a hardback hoarder😍😍
I can totally see the appeal! Love the look of them but cannot get on with them when it comes to reading x
Team hardback here! For me there’s something very special to me about a hardback! But I also always fold the pages and always crack the spine I find it so satisfying!! x
When I sleep I wake up constantly and I often start thinking straight away too, I feel your pain 😴
I’ve been highly stressed with life decisions at the minute so this vlog is so very badly needed. Really looking forward to the comfort of your vlogmas 🥰 also regarding books,’ I do prefer a paperback BUT if it’s a book I love and will be a keeper that I want to take care of, I’d prefer a hardback. For example I buy the illustrated big Harry Potter books and when I’m reading I’ll just take the cover off 🙂
Also also!! Download goodreads,
It’s very satisfying to see how much you’ve read in the year and to keep track of what you’ve enjoyed
I often wonder why we collect books. Very rarely do I read a book more than once. I’m currently reading a book, and I’m stopping myself from reading it too fast, because the next book by that author won’t get here for a few more days.I’m currently reading novels set in the 40’s, during 2nd world war.
Yep, I’m struggling with sleep too. Dough, you are sooooooo lucky!
I know sometimes you don’t want to hear solutions as it can come across quite unempathetic! But I also struggle with that anxiety cycle for rest and I’ve been using the neom bedtime pillow spray, it’s actually a life changer 💓💓
So excited for vlogmas- I’m 37 weeks pregnant so excited for the video each day to give me something to look forward to while waiting :)
My favourite is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I also enjoyed Life of Pi. For me it’s harder to get out of the house due to anxiety. I feel better if I push myself to go out but it’s difficult when it’s getting to negative temperatures.
Would recommend books by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Bernardine Evaristo. Also 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston.
Perfect timing for my baby’s morning nap 💕
Lovely as always! I love Brit Bennett’s the vanishing half 💞highly recommend!
You should most definitely read The Overstory! I absolutely loved it!
Also happy holidays to you and your family! Wishing you all well, and thank you for your wonderful cozy vlogs! 💕
Ah floppy books are the best!
Breakfast and eggs 🤣🤣 I’m laughing so much at that
The midnight library by Matt Haig is such a great read, I think you’d like it. Also love Rebecca, and although it was written in the mid-1900s it is easy to read
For the sticker on the book, try rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad and rub it over the leftover sticker bits. Should help.
Eye cream wise, I purchased the Glow eye cream from Boots for £4 and it’s honestly worked wonders. I’ve almost run out which and will be repurchasing which never happens with eye cream. A million times better than my Kiehls one. 10/10 recommend.
Thanks for another wonderful video! I absolutely loved John Williams Stoner and Patti Smith Just Kids 💕
Clinique All about Eyes. Comes in regular and rich for drier eyes. Never irritates or goes into your eye, lasts for ages.
Cant wait to add these to my reading list and read them over the summer 🥰
My favourites of this year have been; Shuggie Bain - American Dirt - A Gentleman In Moscow - The Colour Purple. I've also read some nonfiction this year too, highlights being; Do Something For Nothing - All The Young Men. Do you use goodreads Rhiannon? I find most my recommendations on there 🤍💫
I don’t! Lots of people have told me to get it x
Watch the normal people series if you haven’t it’s so good xx
We did when it first came out and loooooved it; couldn’t stop thinking about it for like a month 😂
@@RhiannonAshleeVlogs yes Paul mescal is dreamy 😍 I might re watch tbh x
I recently started to get really into Asian authors and their writing style, very different from the western style in my opinion. Some of my favourites so far:
- Almond by Won-pyung Sohn
- Kim Jiyoung born in 1982 by Cho Nam-joo
- The dog who dare to dream by Sun-mi Hwang (very different, the main character is infact a dog, but so good and sad)
- Sweet bean paste by Durian Sukegawa
- Convenience store woman by Sayaka Murata
📚💕
Absolutely loved The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa! Also love Dave Eggers' books, especially Monk of Mokha.
Cerave eye cream is great and affordable too! My book recs would be Taylor Jenkins Reed (she has quite a few great books, my fave would probably be Malibu Rising) and also The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennet 😊
I’m reading Hamnet at the moment and I’m loving it! I hope you enjoy it too!
I highly recommend The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Easily one of my fave books of last year. The voice of the main character was so clear and the book just read beautifully 😁
Yay! I always miss you so much after vlogtober! Can’t wait for vlogmas! 🎄💫
SUPER excited to see your book collection! Thanks for sharing! 💕
I’m with you with the leaving the house thing. I have to! When I had Covid recently, it’s was a challenge to stay inside (I did it!) just 😟😟
I don't buy books, because I find it more sustainable to get all my books from my local library. I don't like hoarding and I never reread books so it makes sense for me and I feel less bad when I don't like a book because I can just return it. But seeing all your beautiful books on your shelf makes me wish I had more of own!
I actually prefer hardcovers, I find them easier to bend!
love the book content!!
I crack the spine
I used to dog-ear but now use bookmarks
Definitely prefer paperback!
& Half a world away is one of my favourite books too!
My favorite eye cream (I've used 10+ jar) is Martina Gebhardt Eye Care. I use it at night time because it's very rich but I swear that my eyes look much better in the morning, plus it's 100% green. I highly recommend it!
I'm 100% team paperback and I also break spines, I feel it's easier to read them when lying down and I mainly read in bed 😂 And I feel the same about Sally Rooney, I felt so disappointed as I adored the tv show. Buying books can be expensive! In my city in Italy we have little book "houses" in parks where you can leave and lent books! You take them, read them and then bring them back for other people to read!
I really liked Paperweight and Perks of Being a Wallflower!
I went to school with Jack, it’s so cool to hear others mention him!
I feel like books are such a personal taste and much like the way we take our tea or coffee - respect the opinions of others even if you strongly disagree.
On that note, I HATED Eleanor Oliphant, it was one of the only books I have not been able to finish, but I just could not get into her voice haha. I know I am in the minority with that.
Thanks for sharing :)
recommending "it ends with us" by colleen hoover! i thought it would be juvenile because i just hit my 30s but i couldn't put the book down! - 5 strangers you meet in heaven and tuesdays with morrie by mitch albom are also so so good
also---if you take a hair dryer to those stickers, they will peel right off!
More recently loved Girl, Woman, Other and some of my favourites that I always go back to are Rebecca, I Capture the Castle, The Picture of Dorian Grey and East of Eden :) Cannot wait for Vlogmas!!
Honestly I have used the Cetaphil gel eye cream and haven't looked back. Nourishing but gentle and great under makeup.
you could enjoy 1q84 by murakami, give it a try! also, anything by Banana Yoshimoto and Kazuo Ishiguro. i would recommend a great classic such as 100 years of solitude too, though, because i think it aged pretty well and it's still really enjoyable nowadays
Thanks for the recommendations!
Really enjoyed the book chat, I loved reading ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’ so cant wait to see the film! My all time favourite book is ‘The Light Between Oceans’ it’s a real tear jerker but SO good - there’s also a film of it!x
I really enjoyed hearing about your favourite books and will definitely add lots of these to my list 😄 Thank you for listing them in the description! I think we have quite a similar taste in books. I absolutely looooved Eleanor Oliphant!! I also wasn't a fan of 'Normal People' and felt like I was in the minority with that 🤭 I recently read a book called 'Anxious People' (Fredrik Backman) that I really enjoyed. I'd also highly recommend 'The Midnight Library' 👌 xx
A perfect way to start my annual leave for the week. Exciting times was one of my favourites from last year, finished it in 2 days. Was also recommended Betty from a girl in Waterstones after discussing Where the Crawdads sing x
I'm a historical fiction with romance girl, also love a good mystery, Christian historical romances I love, Grace Livingston Hill is one of my all time favorite authors, Traci Peterson's Daughters of the Loom is a favorite. But that being said it's lovely that you read...whatever you choose to read. Everyone one likes different books...and some we love the same. No judgement here😊! My favorite Christmas read is Partners by Grace Livingston Hill. It's a sweet heart touching story, that I love.
My hormone imbalance really effected my sleep for a long time. The imbalances caused high anxiety, depression and fatigue. I had alot of stress in my life at the time which caused the changes in my body. I firstly recommend to NOT STRESS! 😣 then maybe do a hormone test just to make sure they are not imbalanced. Try to stay positive and to not over think everything 🤍
The shelves look amazing ! Such a cosy vlog, love seeing what you cook 👩🍳 Where is your cookbook stand from? ☺️
Yay! Have been looking forward to this vlog! Thanks for the recommendations - definitely have some new books to add to my ‘to read’ list now 😬😅. Eleanor Oliphant is also one of my absolute favourite books 📚 SO GOOD!
A while ago I got into reading Agatha Christie books and although they are hard work to read at first, once you get into the style of them they are so good! Would recommend!
Yay for book chats 🤍
❤️📚✨
it's too funny, i watched a vlog of yours back from pumpkin-picking last night, and it ended right in that angle in the bathroom where this one starts 😂 feel like im picking up the conversation again where it left off!
I am a hardbacks and floppy paperbacks over everything kind of girl!!! When I found out people like paperbacks over hardbacks, I was shocked…still am sort of. I don’t get it!
Have you looked into Writers and Lovers by Lily King? I feel like that could be a potential winner for you! ☺️
You make my day !!! Love all your vlogs !
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig is my favourite book 🌌 it's so beautifully written x
Such a lovely vlog once more! Definitely taking notes on some of the books for Christmas gifts or my own wishlist 😄
I definitely can relate to your struggles with getting good nights of sleep. I'm a really light sleeper and tend to wake up in the middle of the night unable to fall back asleep. One thing that's helped me the last couple of weeks is cbd oil. I use one with cbd and melatonin right before going to bed and I've been able to sleep through most nights or at least fall back asleep more quickly. Maybe that's something you can try as well 🥰
Sending lots of love from Germany 💕
Love this video 🥰 an eye cream I swear by is origins ginseng eye cream, it’s great for brightening under the eye and feels creamy.
