I am the Sophie that Nickelle is talking about in this video.
I can honestly say that Nickelle is as lovely and as kind and genuine as she seems in her vlogs. I was so nervous about going to the book event, I am huge fan of Adam and of Gary and I sat down next to Nickelle and the rest is history. She was so easy to talk to and so engaged in everything I had to say and it is hard to find people like that. People that care.
Nickelle you told me you freelanced and Adam did dobe you in, but it is a good thing because you now have a supporter and a friend for life! I will forever watch your channel.
For anyone reading this, Invest your time in Nickelle's vlogs she is incredible and I was so lucky and privileged to have been able to spend such a huge amount of time with her.
Thank you Nickelle for being so wonderful. Also I am going to have to read Magnolia Parks now because I need to understand what you are talking about and make sure I stay away from BJ's ;).
OMG!!!!!!!! How have I only just seen this?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 😭😭😭 OMG you're honestly way too kind!! It was so lovely to meet you at the event! You're literally like a breath of fresh air! I was about to leave as I felt so awkward but so lucky that I didn't! We were chatting for hours, but it literally felt like 10 minutes!!!!
Honestly, I can't believe your comment! I'm not amazing with my words, but you're so kind! Thank you for being so brave to strike up a conversation with me! I hope we're able to see each other again in the future! 💖💖💖
😂😂 I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Magnolia Parks, I think you'll think it's trash as well, but it's way too good!! 😂😂 I have no idea why he the author named him such an unfortunate name 😂😂 xxxxxx
You are ✨glowing✨ in this video and look absolutely stunning! ☺️
Thank you 🥰✨
Literally the first thing I thought when I started this video!
Every time someone says they hated Magnolia Parks, I get a year added to my life 😌
😂😂😂😂 why is it so popular? Because it’s so bad? Or is it well-loved? I couldn’t believe the amount of 5 ⭐️ reviews. No shade to the readers who enjoyed it though. I defo enjoyed it, but it was a car crash 🙈
You are so amazing! I can sense the summer vibe 100%! I literally release soo much dopamine when i watch your videos. i smile the entire time, it feels like girl talk & catch ups
Awww 🥹🙈 thank you so much, this is such a sweet comment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really enjoy making these videos.
And yes will always support, all day every day. 🙌🏾❤
You look RADIANT! Love this wrap-up vid, your Magnolia Parks review has me cackling.
“this toxic little monstrosity” LMAOOO i feel the exact same way about magnolia parks and tell me why i’ve read all five books that are out 😭😭 it’s like my reading speed just shoots up with these books and they give me so much whiplash (it would be so funny if u made a vlog reading the next one 🫣)
😂😂 it’s so bad, yet so good!
Oh you’ve read all of them? 🙈
Oh that’s such a good idea, I’m definitely going to have to do that.
Thanks for watching 🥰
Alsooooooo, even if you’re in a slump? we love the content! even if it’s a litttle book slump update, a hack you found! anything! but we totally understand if you prefer breaks from youtube 🫶🏾 you’re personality is soo lovely! we love whatever content you give us
How you feel about Magnolia Parks is how I feel about Fourth Wing! It’s technically a terrible book… but I LOVE it! 😂
Haha love that a friend has found you! Keep us updated if anyone else finds you 😊😂
Great reading wrap up Nickelle ❤
😂😂😂 oh really?! Does this mean that I should read fourth wing then? It’s always intrigued me.
Haha yes I will do! 🙈🙈
@@NickellesNook oh gosh only if it appeals to you; your reaction to Magnolia Parks just resonated with my reaction to Fourth Wing. It’s very much Hunger Games vibes so if you enjoyed that you might like Fourth Wing ❤️
@@MichelleReadsandVlogshaha
Oh I LOVE the Hunger Games, I think I do want to give it a try one day. I feel like everyone has read it and I’m getting FOMO 😂
Kudos to you for finishing Magnolia Parks. I didn't even make it halfway. 😆
So happy the slump is over 🙌🏽 I really love your vids 💕
Me too! Aww thank you so much, it honestly means a lot! 🥹 xxx
Glad you’re back! I love the way you describe books, so entertaining. Kinda curious about magnolia parks now 😂
8:40 "toxic little monstrosity" had me LOLing so hard.
Girl I missed you. I haven't been on booktube in a hot minute (aka several months) and you're always a delight to watch and engage with. I'm happy you got out of your reading slump!! I guess I've kinda been in one myself? I haven't really been interested in reading for basically all of this year, which feels a little different than trying to read and not enjoying any books, but I'm just getting back into it.
I really love your top, you look so gorg! I can’t wait to watch Queenie - I’ve heard good things!
Thank you! Would highly recommend and the episodes are only 30 mins, so I watched it in two days 😂🎉
i love the summery vibes!! i have been wanting to read magnolia parks but have been nervous from the hype so thank you for helping me lower my expectations lol!! that is so fun that you buddy read it- i think bad books are the most fun to discuss with friends!!
☀️💖
Oh yes, definitely go in with low expectations! I would still recommend it if you just want something easy and full of drama. But yeah, it’s pretty down right awful. 😅
You’re absolutely right, we really got into it 😂
She’s backkkk! Yay! Looking forward to watching your reading vlog ❤ Will definitely be checking out your recommendations.
🙌🏾
Thank you!!! Hopefully should be out soon 🫶🏾
I ve read Magnolia Parks as well. I reallly liked your review, bc I also thought it was truely awfull. I respect giving it three stars, bc you re right, it was addicting.. but nonetheless I cannot understand the hype about it. Also really nice and important that you mentioned, you hope there will be some help for the younger audience to somehow reflect on the toxicness of the relationship. But thank you for the wrap up, I really enjoyed watching it ☺
Aweee noooo hahaha I love your channel sm and was excited to see Magnolia Parks in the thumbnail, it’s my favourite!! 😭😭😂 I understand why people don’t 1000% love it though, I’m glad you had other good reads in June though 🥹 and I’m excited for you to continue the rest of the series!!
Yay, I’m so glad you are out of your reading slump❤❤❤
Haha same! 😂🎉
Thanks for watching xx
@@NickellesNook of course love💜
Magnolia Parks was SO BAD, but why did I read the whole thing in like three days?! Haha I completely agree with your review
OMG! SAME!!!!! Literally read it in a few days, I could not STOP! Have you read any of the others?
I can't wait to see more of your reading around the world challenge as well! 🥰
loveee the new microphone and the summery vibes you’re bringing ! i loved the first three seasons of scandal but around the fourth i lost interest 🥲. but i did enjoy the earlier seasons thoroughly though ! anyways, you’re glowing nickelle, i hope you have a good rest of your day.
I’m buddy reading Magnolia Parks with a friend and I’m so excited and also so nervous 😂
Loved your wrap up! Ghost Chilli sounds great and I also love the cover!! Oh my gosh you’re taking me back to my Scandal days! What a good show!!! Maybe I should do a re-Watch 😅.
OMG! You're in for a treat, have you finished it?
Thank you so much Subha! Yeah, it's really good book actually, very funny in some places too. I think you'd quite like it.
YES!!! Do it!!!!!! 🙌🏾
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL
Oh no, I also had mic issues in one of my most recent videos, it's SO frustrating!!! But seems like it all worked out here in the end ☺
Also, not that you need a stranger's validation, but I adore your style - I was already in love with your pink outfit in a previous video, but this top is gorgeous as well, and you look amazing in it (and in general). I feel like those bright colors really reflect your bright personality 💜
Really enjoyed the mix of books and film/tv shows, that was a fun wrap-up. And so happy for you that you're out of the slump. Hurray!
Hi Nickelle! I watched The Virgin Suicides when I was in school as a part of my movie club, really enjoyed it! Very well acted, can't compare it to the book unfortunately as I haven't read it yet, but I think you'd enjoy it ☺
Hiiii Megan 👋🏾
First of all, your school had a movie club?! 🍿 🎥
That is so cool!! I can’t wait to watch it, the book was incredible so hopefully the film is the same. I would recommend it for sure.
I'm exactly the same with tv shows esp! I first watched Bridgerton last year and basically binged it and then Queen Charlotte (totally recommend that one it's amazing!!) which is a spin off! Lol as soon as you said Olivia Pope quickly left to start a firm I was like: "She was sleeping with the President!!" Love that I was right 😂 Wow 6 books is fantastic and I'm happy you got out of your slump! Also it is unseasonably cold!!! It's like autumn!! 😲 Wasn't sure how many books I have read this month but I have read 6 books as well!! 2 we're really short so I shouldn't be surprised but I really am!! 😮
Ahhh so glad you loved Bridgerton! Yes my colleague told me she sobbed at Queen Charlotte, I can’t wait to get around to watching that.
Haha you guessed right! 😂
I know, what on earth is going on?! It was like this last summer too, July was full of rain. Hopefully August will be a little better? Who knows 🤷🏾♀️
Ahh well done, six books is amazing! And that’s okay, it still counts. Go you! 🥳
@NickellesNook Yeah hopefully it will be! Yeah Queen Charlotte definitely has some tearjerker moments!!
For me, Bridgerton Season 2 is when it gets good! Happy reading (and watching) in July!
Hahahaha literally was on the EDGE of my seat waiting to hear what you said about Magnolia Parks 😂😂 I had the same thoughts about how it’s a guilty pleasure similar to love island!! Which also omg so sad you’re not watching cos this season 👀 can’t wait to start the second book!! 🩷
I’m SO excited you’re on your Bridgerton journey!! Queen Charlotte is so so good, you’ll love! I loved inside out 2 aswell I thought it was so well done, they couldn’t easily copped out with the storyline and made about romance so them making it about friendship was so wholesome 🥰
😂😂 I can't wait to watch your wrap up to hear what you think
Noo, I didn't feel like watching it this year, but I've heard it's good too! Do you watch Nicole Davies on CZcams? I LOVE watching her reviews of the episodes! SAAAME! I need to order them, but can't wait to continue the buddy read!! 🥰
@@DEBateBookz Ohhh I'm really loving it! I get it now why it's such a sensation. I've heard nothing but good things with Queen Charlotte, I'm told it's really sad as well.
YES! I agree, I know on Pixar made a short episode of Riley going on her first date, so I thought it may have followed with that, but you're right I'm so glad they focussed on her friendships instead. Loved it! Loved all of the new emotions as well. ✨
Magnolia Parks, thats exactly how I felt about it terrible in terms of the toxicity in the relationship, but I couldn't stop reading it. I also said it was like reading a MIC script.
Love watching your videos x
Haha I'm glad it's not just me! YESS! That is a great way of putting it, it did feel like a MIC script, especially when the drama would kick off at an event 😂😂
Thanks so much for watching! x
Can we take a minute firstly to say how beautiful you look!! Love your top 😊
I haven't read any of these, but I absolutely loved Queenie. I sat down to watch one episode then realised I'd watched six and had to go to bed!! I thought that actor that played Queenie was stunning and so great to see an actor with curves, I loved that too.
It seems Magnolia Parks had generated a lot of feeling!! I'd never heard of it! Xx
🙈 Ahhhh! Thank you 🥰
YES! I think I watched the entire series in two days as well, it was so good! I agree, her figure was amazing! We love the rep!
Oh noo, don't do it! As soon as you read one, you'll be sucked into the universe. It's a terrible book, but so addictive! I would actually love to hear your take on it actually 😂
You are so beautifuuuulllll❤❤❤❤
Hahahaha. A toxic monstrosity, what a way to describe a book and how I chuckled when you said it’s awful… but I’m gonna read the universe. Hahaha. I saw the author of Ghost Chilli talk and was intrigued yet wasn’t sure it was a book for me if that makes any sense. Glad you’re out of the slump!
😂😂 YESSSSSSSSSS!!! It's so terrible, yet too good to not read the rest. Oh really? Yeah that makes sense!! I enjoyed the book, and I don't think it was for me as well, but I would recommend it though for a light read.
Haha thank you! 💗 xxx
Yay! So happy your slump is over!! They are the absolute worst 🥲
I know right?!? 🙈
Thanks for watching! ❤
So happy you're out of your reading slump. I liked the TV adaptation of Queenie better than the book. I thought the changes they made worked really well. Enjoy Scandal while you can lol it goes downhill around season 4!
You know what, I think I did too as well actually!
Nooooooo 🙈 that’s probably why I stopped watching it after S4 the first time around 😂
Nickelle I love you babes, I’m feeling like we’re good book friends already haha just chit chatting about books and film xx
Awww thank you so much! ❤️🫶🏾
Scandal is one of my favourite series
It’s SO good right?!
@@NickellesNook Absolutely!. Kerry Washington will always be Olivia Pope to me 😅
If you want heat, Houston has in in Spades! I would love to ship you the last month's 100+ Temps. Whats your p.o box? Lol
😂 omg this made me lol!! Oh, maybe you can keep that, that sounds HOT. I also don't have AC so that would be quite uncomfortable to experience. I hope it's a tad cooler now for you.
@@NickellesNook oh love. It's still 100 and our electricity is out from a hurricane. We have a generator so thankfully the air is still on, but it won't cool off for real until like October. 🙃
Nice
💛
I as well was not impressed with Magnolia Parks and all the hype. I have all the books with the original covers ordered the series from Blackwell and don’t think I will be reading anymore of the series. Well let’s just say the rest is on the very very very bottom of my TBR and my TBR grows every time.
That top is stunning on you! And hard agree about Magnolia Parks. How is it so good/bad!?
My friends are so confused by my star ratings 😂3 is for an average read that might be good for someone else but is not exactly to my taste, 4 is for my great reads, and I reserve 5 for books that I can't stop thinking about and want to buy. As a person who still rents, the "want to buy" is a pretty exclusive club! You have to offend me in some way to get below a 3.
Thank you!
I know?!? 🙈😂 how is it possible?
That’s a similar rating system to me as well. 3⭐️ isn’t necessarily bad, it was a decent book, but it just didn’t speak to me. That’s good that you borrow books, I need to sign up to my library because the book buying is getting way out of control. 🙈
The Magnolia Parks books are so beautiful but I did hear that they are quite toxic
I know! The covers are stunning, but they don’t reflect the book at all. 🙈
Definitely have to take it with a pinch of salt.
@@NickellesNook I feel like if I were to read the books I would definitely try them on audio first
Magnolia Park is trashy and toxic? Sold!
hi ✨
I only recently discovered you and you have inspired me to read more.
it's very nice to find someone who talks about the same issues that I now find myself in in my late 20s 🩵
I'm looking forward to videos in the future!
greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Awwww what a lovely thing to say! I'm so pleased that you're reading more as well. 💖 It's so exciting isn't it when you catch the reading bug haha.
You're not alone, there's such a nice community here on booktube. 💗
Thanks so much for watching, all the way from the Netherlands, so cooool!!
