This month we read (or tried to read...) Beartown by Fredrik Backman. I thought this was beautifully written and completely fleshed out - everyone felt extremely real with real motivations and emotions. But my god it was slow moving...

Hey Patreon! ๐ When you say the word "wreath" enough, it doesn't really sound like a real word... anywho! I made my first-ever Christmas wreath. Actually, my first-ever wreath, period.
Hey Readers!
For December, our Book Club Pick is Beartown by Fredrik Backman! We read "A Man Called Ove" by the same author a few years ago, and I saw this one received a bunch of great reviews! So let's try!

Can you believe I never watch British Christmas adverts? Until now?? ๐บ๐
I know everyone does this now on YT, so I've always avoided it. But this year I wanted to break with tradition and see what all the fuss is about.
Have a favourite Christmas advert? Let me know!!

Hey Patreon! ๐ Happy Saturday!
This week's video is a little look into what I've been up to this week - and a bit chaotic! Mentally I've been all over the place this week.
But it's starting to properly feel like autumn now which I love ๐ hope you have a cozy blanket and a hot drink nearby!

It's basically October which means happy (nearly) Spooky Month! I love October - big jumpers, cozy hot drinks, the leaves changing... perhaps a pumpkin spiced latte or two??
This video was a bit cursed - how timely!

For October, I'll be reading Home by Toni Morrison (my first Morrison book, too!) Shoutout to Emma who inspired this pick! It's quite a bit shorter than our picks lately and the font is huge (which helps with my healing eyes lol) Hope you guys enjoy it!
This month our Book Club pick was The Diary of a Bookseller and I kind of hated it! I read about 80 pages and decided to stop. To be honest, I was really surprised! This was recommended by multiple people and has great reviews, but ultimately I couldn't stand it ...
