  • Hello, and welcome to my channel. This is a space for study enthusiasts and tea drinkers, and those who spend hours ambling around libraries and book shops. I hope that my videos can provide motivation and encourage you to be productive, but without feeding into Hustle Culture. I think that productivity is all about enjoying what we do, and finding time for things that bring us happiness or will bring us happiness in the future -- and I hope to celebrate this kind of living on my channel.

I started watching you in October 2020, a time in my life when i was questioning everything about me, especially because i was doing school online, but you completely changed my life, I felt more motivated and happy and my life took a turn for the better. You are amazing, and well, i wish i had a friend like you. You have saved my life. Thank you

    I was so thrilled to see you have The Little House series. I was wondering if you had ever read them. These are my favorite books of all time - partly because I am in Chicago, which was, at the time, considered the edge of civilization and a jumping off point to the west. I also have collections of Laura's newspaper writings, collections of letters and poems written by her sisters, the book Caroline, which is a retelling of Little House on the Prairie from Ma's point of view, etc etc. I have never seen the editions you have! I have the hardcovers with Garth Williams' classic illustrations, which are my very favorite. I have been to the LIW historic home in Missouri, visited her grave, and was able to stop briefly in Pepin, Wisconsin on a road trip and see at least the outside of the LIW museum there. I have seen Pa's violin in person, and Laura's wedding dress! Basically, the way you are about Harry Potter, I am about Little House. LOL

    Hi @RubyGranger8 I discovered your channel 2 years ago and this was my first video of yours. I love your passion for reading, it’s so inspiring. Since the day I watched you talking about your vintage Dickens set I’ve been wanting to have it too - it’s so beautiful! I wasn’t able to find it in good condition and yesterday I finally stumbled upon one on eBay. It’s my birthday today and I just got it as a present to myself. You’ll probably never read this but I just wanted to say thank you. I have a young daughter and you’ve inspired me to raise her as a reader, surround her with books, read to her, and I hope in some 20 years I’ll pass on this gorgeous set of Dickens to her just like your parents did to you. ❤ (I would love to watch an interview with your parents and learn more about them and what they did to raise such a special girl.)

    I love this! I have an “aesthetic” bookshelf I think😂. My mom bought it for me from a boutique that was going out of business. The shelf is actually the Vera Bradley brand shelf that you are required to buy in order to stock their products so it’s sort of whimsical and Victorian looking. I use the very top shelf to store trinkets like photos, action figures, and specimens (bugs, shells, fossils etc). ☺️

    I forgot about love aubrey. I remember taking it out from the library and loving it. Could never find it in my local bookshops
