As a 37 year old, mother of 2 who really felt like she had to rediscover herself in 2023, this literally made me cry.. Lucy deserves to sell loads and loads with this line alone. I hope she has it on the cover somewhere.

Can you start in CZcams you had so much back at the beginning and then it seemed to change a little bit and now you’ve got your step back your star back in you can’t wait to buy the book I’ll have to get my phone to read it because I’m a blind person but I’m looking forward to it. Congratulations It’s a big achievement. Well done you❤🤗🥂🍾
I would love to know the process with writing, finding someone to publish it, when/how you realized you wanted to do the original publishing route, making a plot, designing characters, and things like that. I cant wait to read this book!!!🤩
Yes, that would be such an interesting watch, I'd also love to see that. I also can't wait to read it! Huge congrats Lucy, you * should * be proud of yourself, this is awesome! 😍
The way I GASPED when I saw that title. I’m sooooo happy for you! I found your channel back when you were making moon face girl pins, testing makeup, and trying not to fall backwards down a flight of stairs while you tried on clothes. It’s been so amazing to see you achieve your dreams and accomplish so much over the years, and I’m so so proud of you for writing and publishing your work and putting this out in the world. This is a really incredible accomplishment and I hope you know that you deserve this. I can’t wait to read it! ❤️❤️
My best friend (a fellow subscriber) and I are gonna be book clubbing this one for sure ✨ CONGRATULATIONS, LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you REVEL in this joyful, proud, sparkly feeling. You’ve worked so hard.

I’m crying happy tears along with you! I’m so excited for you and so proud of you! You did IT!! The story sounds so amazing. I can’t wait to meet Belle and all her friends and foes alike. All your hard work and dedication has paid off even bigger this time! All the love, happiness, and joy to you my friend. There’s no one more deserving. YAYYYYY LUCY!!!!! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉😳🤩😁💛🖤💛
I’m so proud of you Lucy!!! I’ve loved hearing you give book synopses over the years but to hear you give YOUR OWN?! I can’t wait! It sounds so fun! Also how can we preorder in the US?
Lucy - you can say it - you’re an author! You’re a bloody author!! Go shout it from the rooftops! Shout it down the street! Pre-ordered and cannot wait for this little package of autumnal, witchy goodness to land on my doorstep 🧙🏻♀️
Congratulations Lucy! When you first started to hint out at this secret project I immediately thought "oh Lucy is publishing a book, I wonder what it's going to be about" and I'm thrilled that this story has everything I love about books 🙌🏻 Can't wait to grab it in September when it comes out! And in hardback format as well, what a treat for my book collection ❤
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to reach through the screen so much as when you teared up 🥹 you can see the pride bursting from you (rightly so!) cannot wait to read this! Congratulations 🎉❤
So excited to read this! Also yay for having older MCs! I'm crossing my fingers pre-orders for Canada will be available soon. I know Chapters/Indigo is always slow to pick up but def pre-ordering as soon as I can. I'd love to hear more about the whole journey of getting published and working through all that the bumps and stuff. One day I'd love to get published too so I love hearing about people's journeys in the publishing world.
Honestly I've never smiled and filled up with tears as much as I Have watching this video. Been a silent viewer for such a longtime but your videos bring me joy. How articulate and funny you are really deserves this opportunity and I hope this helps boost your confidence because your so deserving. One copy pre ordered ❤
Amazing!!!! Congratulations 🎉 Would be lovely to see you in an Illumicrate/afterlight book box (or do a special edition with them) one day! As I think this could be their/your vibe 💕
Omgosh congratulations!! 😊 Please please don't feel bad or like you're boasting, you are very much allowed to feel proud of this, it's a huge achievement! I've been watching your channel for a really long time and absolutely love the soft cozy vibes and as soon as you said your book was cozy and autumnal and witchy, I literally went on my phone and pre-ordered it about halfway through watching the video 😂 super super excited to read it 😊
Wow wow wow!!!! Massive congratulations!!!! You absolutely should be celebrating such a great achievement & dream of yours. So happy to be able to support you, already pre-ordered the book & cannot WAIT to read it!!! A book that sounds totally up my street. X
Congrats Lucy!! This is so exciting and lovely. I will be buying the book. I also just wanted to thank you for sharing this general message. I’m 32 and have been working on an album since 2020, and it has been clawing away at my soul that I haven’t finished it and released it yet. Part of me keeps thinking “you’re getting too old and this is cringe” which is obviously a silly idea, but I appreciate you hitting on this theme with your story. I know what that dormant magic feels like, and I can see that you do too. Can’t wait to read it. 🪄
Thank you so much! PLEASE GO FOR IT. Someone might 'cringe', but that's on them - it probably means it's something they're keeping hidden themselves or have been taught to be embarrassed of, so it hurts them to see someone else doing it proudly and shining. Nothing about following your dreams is embarrassing ❤️
I've just pre-ordered! I'm so happy for you, as a subscriber whos followed you for quite some time, and also as an aspiring author myself - I understand how important this is for you
This came at the right time! A conversation at work about the books everyone is reading highlighted that I’d fallen out of the practice of reading. I once started a short story and never finished it, then life and work got in the way, and I stopped so many things I enjoyed. I’m aiming to read more this year, so I’m looking forward to reading this story
Hi there! I’ve followed you for years and taken many many book requests from you and this is by far the one I’m most excited for. I can’t tell you how excited I am for you! This will come out right before I turn 30 myself and I cannot wait to read it and meet these characters ❤ what a treat!
I'm so happy you are allowing yourself to be proud of this! SO proud of you! Plus I was thinking how I'd love to read a book about the various kinds of love and you just... wrote it??? Can't wait to meet those characters!
Lucy 😢 honestly I am so proud of you!!!! You are a beautiful, incredible, special person and you DESERVE every drop of joy and magic life can bring you. I will be pre-ordering as a thank you for casting light on my dark days through your videos ❤❤❤ thank you
I cried when you cried! Been here with you for SO long and have never felt more proud of a complete stranger! Haha. Have preordered and I cannot wait to read. 🥰🥳
so so excited for you and so excited to follow along with you in this journey! The book sounds absolutely amazing which I can't wait to read but I'm also just excited for you to be achieving your dreams. You are absolutely deserving and it feels like the perfect story of you reaching for your potential alongside your characters!
Congratulations on becoming an author! I’m preordering! When you listed off your influences I felt that and will add The Worst Witch too. I love that the characters are older as well. And I know it’s not about the cover but I can’t wait to see it, I know it’s gonna be 🤌 take some time to breathe now and get out the house 😅 congrats again 🖤✨
Congratulations Lucy! This is such deeply thrilling news ❤☺️ I don't think I've ever commented but I've been watching you for a super super long time (I mean yeeeeears, I think I remember you introducing Adam) and I'm honestly very proud! I'm also a 30 year old screenwriter (who was a "promising" student and then had a fair few years that felt stagnant) and I'm FINALLY making my first film this year. A lot of what you said in this video AND the premise/vibe of your novel (because you wrote a novel!!!) really speak to me. All that potential didn't go anywhere! Congratulations again. Off to pre-order ✌️🥳📖
Congratulations! ❤️ I’m never one to comment on CZcams but I just wanted to say you should be so proud of yourself for what you’ve achieved. I find so much comfort in your videos and now can’t wait to read your new book!! It’s preordered ready for September! Make sure you celebrate every moment of this special achievement, you deserve it ❤️
So so happy for you that you can finally talk about this amazing achievement! I will be preordering the book as soon as I finish this video! Can’t wait to read this story!
Yeeey! Congratulations, what an amazing accomplishment! 🥳🥳 Celebrate it all you possibly can! I am so impressed, inspired, proud, tears of joy in my oatmilk happy for you!!! I've never pre-ordered anything at all, but this was the easiest decision ever. You are SUCH A ROCK STAR and also AUTHOR!! Well done and all the best wishes! ✨✨
Lucyyyyyyyyy! LJW AUTHOR!! This is so amazing there are literally no words. Congratulations my heart is so happy for you! Pre-order for you for sure. Enjoy the moment!
Congratulations Lucy! I'm so so excited for you & I can't wait to follow this journey 😊 And you deserve to brag! Shout it from the bloody rooftops. You deserve every bit of success and every ounce of pride you're feeling ❤️
Never been so proud of someone I've never met. Absolutely thrilled for you 🎉 Pre-ordered this morning and I can't wait to read. I know it's going to be amazing! ❤
Congratulations Lucy! I´m so proud of you. Watching you grow for years to this moment is mind blowing. And you shloud be bragging about this. You spent so much time with this book, so you definitely deserve a little bit of bragging 🙂
Massive congratulations Lucy 🍾🥂!! Determination and flipping hard work has created your dream !! Well done Lucy 👌.......now we can all be a part of that dream and read ... read ... read ..your novels 🥳💐
This is the most absolutely exciting news, you're an AUTHOR! Congratulations! The way you surmised your book, the moral about not losing your magic even as we get older, was so so touching, and I really needed that reminder today. Something that I'd be super interested in is if you kind of explaining your writing process and sharing any tips or advice you have for writing a novel as I've been grappling with my own writing for years and it's just so inspiring to see you getting published!
I have never pre-ordered something so fast! This is exactly the kind of thing I love to read and I can't believe it's coming from one of my favourite youtubers. Congratulations on this and I can't wait for everything else you do 🥳
This is so incredble, Lucy. I am feeling such intense emotions for you and I am proud of you and with you. You have unlocked dreams in me that I didn't realise were still there. Somehow, most of my twenties smothered the part of me that let myself sit with my emotions and relish in the magic in my life (because we all have to make a living and be productive and responsible etc) and I think it is time I get back to myself now (at 28) and you were a big part of me realizing that, and deciding and learning to be kind to myself. So, thank you, and I can't wait to read your book, because I believe I will relate very strongly and it will be an epic cozy comfort to help me love me and work for my happiness. YAY!
Lucy I’m just so excited for you and about this book! Your emotion and vulnerability and excitement is so palpable and I was tearing up as you did. I cannot wait to read this book!!
You had me crying along with you when you were describing this book and your characters 😭 I pre ordered this so quick and I can't wait to have your book on my shelf. You did it Lucy, you did it!!! 🥰🤎🍂
I cannot wait for it !! I'm not really into the contemporary and current fantasy book vibes because I either don't like the writing or the plot is too poor (I'm more of a classics kinda gal) but I have to say that your book seems really nice ! I'm really looking forward to reading it :) I too, as a 28 year old avid reader since I was a child, am looking to be an author. I've been having ideas for years and years but never actually acted on them because I'm so scared of the implications, what if I'm not good enough, if I can't find the words etc...I hope one day I'll be brave the way you have been.
Lucy I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this! You bet your bottom dollar I almost broke my neck I moved that fast to pre order. This sounds like the most perfect cosy vibes! You should be so proud of yourself, you did it girl 💪📚🫶I am actually beaming with pride for you, make sure you are enjoying every moment of this and not stressing out of your eyeballs 😂
Lucy I just preordered on Amazon and you’re number 1 bestseller in contemporary fantasy!!! Huge huge congratulations! I’m so excited to read this, it sounds amazing 💛
I remember watching your very first videos when I was in uni. Nearly 10 years later, it's really fantastic to see how much you have grown and what you have achieved. It's been so lovely to see. I can't wait to get my hands on your book! Congratulations. 💖
Oh my god it's finally happening!!! I think we all knew it was coming but to finally hear you talking about it is so exciting, and there is going to be another one!! 🥳 I can't wait to read it ❤️
Less than 2 minutes into the video and I have never pre-ordered a book so fast. I am SO EXCITED for you and so excited to read your work!! (Also the premise is SO my cup of tea - magical realism is so my jam)
I am so beyond ELATED for this news! I will be reading this at the very second I can get my hands on it!! Additionally, I am SO BEYOND happy for you! Lucy I cant think of anyone else that deserves this moment more than you :). An author!!! You are an author!!! AHHHHH!!!!
I did not expect to cry watching this video, but literal tears over here (proud ones, and because the idea of feeling like your potential has faded is very relatable) 😭😂 You absolutely deserve to feel proud of yourself and to make time and space to celebrate!🫶 I cannot wait to read this (I have said this a lot, but genuinely, so excited) 😍 would love to hear more about the whole process as well 📚
AHHHHHHHHH i’m so excited for you Lucy. You are so talented at storytelling, i can feel that this book will be binge-worthy & healing. Thank you for being you & im pre-ordering your book NOW !!!!!!✨♥️✨♥️✨
This is amazing news, congratulations!!!! I hope you're feeling the love from everyone pre-ordering and looking forward to reading it! Ahhhhh, congratulations! 🥰
Congratulations!! Wow what a fantastic story. I love how you just wrote a book because you just wanted to read it and now you’ve got a deal 😊 so inspiring ❤❤ can’t wait to preorder and read it 😊😊
As someone who’s also burrowed themselves away and worked on a book around life and work for the last few years, I am so SO unbelievably pleased for you. I shed a wee tear as you talked about your experience because you’re just SO bang on, it’s such a magical and deeply personal and isolating and wonderful process. (My only wish is that S&S published it so I could have designed your cover hehee) but you have such a way with words, and I have NO doubt this is going to be the most joyous and beautiful book, and I cannot wait to read it! Off I go to pre-order!!! Congratulations again champ ❤
Lucy, I’m so over the moon for you! Many congratulations! I’ve followed you for years now and haven’t commented much but after bawling my eyes out when you made the announcement in tears yourself I had to pass on my best wishes to you. At 5m:27s I paused the video and preordered your book immediately after the synopsis and that wonderfully inspiring sentence saying “you deserve to invest in yourself and your own magic…” You’re so right. This really hit me right in the feels- this year I’m finally allowing myself to invest in my small business and all the dreams I have for myself. It’s palpable how much this project means to you and it’s joyous seeing you so elated about it. Very best wishes m’lovely, Lucy xx
Congratulations! What a well-deserved achievement! Pre-ordered to my Kindle, and it drops just in time for my trip to Florida, which feels very on brand as I have been so inspired by your travel vlogs. Can't wait!
Aw Lucy!!! Honestly, just beaming with pride watching this!!!! You should be so so proud, I’m glad you’re embracing it 💗 I’m so so excited, will be pre-ordering, can’t wait to read!!! Massive congratulations lovely 💗💗💗💗 (also TWO book deal, WHAT !!!!)
😭 "your potential which used to feel infinite and now feels like a faded little flame hasn't gone anywhere" - sigh needed this!
literally. lucy hits it on the head every time 🥹
Yas!!!!❤
As a 37 year old, mother of 2 who really felt like she had to rediscover herself in 2023, this literally made me cry.. Lucy deserves to sell loads and loads with this line alone.

Me too, that bit really struck a chord with me
NO LIES WERE SAID ❤️

That's SO lovely! Thank you times a million honestly 🥰
Congrats Lucy!! This is so exciting and lovely. I will be buying the book. I also just wanted to thank you for sharing this general message. I’m 32 and have been working on an album since 2020, and it has been clawing away at my soul that I haven’t finished it and released it yet. Part of me keeps thinking “you’re getting too old and this is cringe” which is obviously a silly idea, but I appreciate you hitting on this theme with your story. I know what that dormant magic feels like, and I can see that you do too. Can’t wait to read it. 🪄
I just saw this quote (paraphrased): "Don't get rid of the part of you that is cringe, get rid of the part that cringes." Good luck with your dream!
Thank you so much! PLEASE GO FOR IT. Someone might 'cringe', but that's on them - it probably means it's something they're keeping hidden themselves or have been taught to be embarrassed of, so it hurts them to see someone else doing it proudly and shining. Nothing about following your dreams is embarrassing ❤️
You ARE an author, Lucy Jane Wood!
😭😭😭 thank you so much ❤️
I've just pre-ordered! I'm so happy for you, as a subscriber whos followed you for quite some time, and also as an aspiring author myself - I understand how important this is for you
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!
This came at the right time! A conversation at work about the books everyone is reading highlighted that I’d fallen out of the practice of reading.

So very pleased for you, this is a momentous thing to be proud of. Couldn’t wait to pre order, and can’t wait to read! Congratulations!! 💕

Congratulations on becoming an author! I’m preordering! When you listed off your influences I felt that and will add The Worst Witch too. I love that the characters are older as well. And I know it’s not about the cover but I can’t wait to see it, I know it’s gonna be 🤌 take some time to breathe now and get out the house 😅 congrats again 🖤✨
Congratulations Lucy! This is such deeply thrilling news ❤☺️ I don't think I've ever commented but I've been watching you for a super super long time (I mean yeeeeears, I think I remember you introducing Adam) and I'm honestly very proud! I'm also a 30 year old screenwriter (who was a "promising" student and then had a fair few years that felt stagnant) and I'm FINALLY making my first film this year. A lot of what you said in this video AND the premise/vibe of your novel (because you wrote a novel!!!) really speak to me. All that potential didn't go anywhere! Congratulations again. Off to pre-order ✌️🥳📖
Congratulations! ❤️ I’m never one to comment on CZcams but I just wanted to say you should be so proud of yourself for what you’ve achieved. I find so much comfort in your videos and now can’t wait to read your new book!! It’s preordered ready for September! Make sure you celebrate every moment of this special achievement, you deserve it ❤️
So so happy for you that you can finally talk about this amazing achievement! I will be preordering the book as soon as I finish this video! Can’t wait to read this story!
Yeeey! Congratulations, what an amazing accomplishment! 🥳🥳 Celebrate it all you possibly can! I am so impressed, inspired, proud, tears of joy in my oatmilk happy for you!!! I've never pre-ordered anything at all, but this was the easiest decision ever. You are SUCH A ROCK STAR and also AUTHOR!! Well done and all the best wishes! ✨✨

And you deserve to brag! Shout it from the bloody rooftops. You deserve every bit of success and every ounce of pride you're feeling ❤️
Agghhh thank you! So kind, I really am delighted 🥰
Never been so proud of someone I've never met. Absolutely thrilled for you 🎉 Pre-ordered this morning and I can't wait to read. I know it's going to be amazing! ❤
That's so kind, thank you!! 😊
Congratulations Lucy! I´m so proud of you. Watching you grow for years to this moment is mind blowing. And you shloud be bragging about this. You spent so much time with this book, so you definitely deserve a little bit of bragging 🙂
Hahah bragging away over here! Thank you love 🥰
Yay!!! Congratulations Lucy - I am on my way to pre order!! 🎉
Massive congratulations Lucy 🍾🥂!! Determination and flipping hard work has created your dream !! Well done Lucy 👌.......now we can all be a part of that dream and read ... read ... read ..your novels 🥳💐
Yayyyy! I saw this coming with the hints in recent videos, it's so exciting!
Hahaha worst kept secret 😂 thank you!
This is amazing! So so happy for you and can’t wait to read it!
This is the most absolutely exciting news, you're an AUTHOR! Congratulations! The way you surmised your book, the moral about not losing your magic even as we get older, was so so touching, and I really needed that reminder today. Something that I'd be super interested in is if you kind of explaining your writing process and sharing any tips or advice you have for writing a novel as I've been grappling with my own writing for years and it's just so inspiring to see you getting published!
I have never pre-ordered something so fast! This is exactly the kind of thing I love to read and I can't believe it's coming from one of my favourite youtubers. Congratulations on this and I can't wait for everything else you do 🥳
This is so incredble, Lucy. I am feeling such intense emotions for you and I am proud of you and with you. You have unlocked dreams in me that I didn't realise were still there. Somehow, most of my twenties smothered the part of me that let myself sit with my emotions and relish in the magic in my life (because we all have to make a living and be productive and responsible etc) and I think it is time I get back to myself now (at 28) and you were a big part of me realizing that, and deciding and learning to be kind to myself. So, thank you, and I can't wait to read your book, because I believe I will relate very strongly and it will be an epic cozy comfort to help me love me and work for my happiness.
YAY!
So thrilled for you and can't wait to read it ❤️📖
Woohoo! Thank you 🥰
Lucy!! I squealed at this news! The most sincere congratulations 🎉
This is so exciting, congratulations! Can't wait to read it!! xx
AMAZING! Huge Congrats to you Lucy! It is so wonderful to see this and feel nothing but joy to see someone so deserving achieving their dreams!📙🧡
Unbelievably proud!! Obsessed with the vibes of the story too 🤩 can’t wait to read x
Ahhhh Alice thank you!! Means the world 🥰
Lucy I’m just so excited for you and about this book! Your emotion and vulnerability and excitement is so palpable and I was tearing up as you did. I cannot wait to read this book!!
You had me crying along with you when you were describing this book and your characters 😭 I pre ordered this so quick and I can't wait to have your book on my shelf. You did it Lucy, you did it!!! 🥰🤎🍂
I cannot wait for it !! I'm not really into the contemporary and current fantasy book vibes because I either don't like the writing or the plot is too poor (I'm more of a classics kinda gal) but I have to say that your book seems really nice ! I'm really looking forward to reading it :) I too, as a 28 year old avid reader since I was a child, am looking to be an author. I've been having ideas for years and years but never actually acted on them because I'm so scared of the implications, what if I'm not good enough, if I can't find the words etc...I hope one day I'll be brave the way you have been.
Lucy I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this! You bet your bottom dollar I almost broke my neck I moved that fast to pre order. This sounds like the most perfect cosy vibes!
You should be so proud of yourself, you did it girl 💪📚🫶I am actually beaming with pride for you, make sure you are enjoying every moment of this and not stressing out of your eyeballs 😂
so happy for you lucy! i can't wait to dive into the world you've created
So unbelievably happy for you ❤🎉 I can’t wait for my copy!!!
Lucy I just preordered on Amazon and you’re number 1 bestseller in contemporary fantasy!!! Huge huge congratulations! I’m so excited to read this, it sounds amazing 💛
I cannot believe it 😭 thank you so much pal xx
I remember watching your very first videos when I was in uni. Nearly 10 years later, it's really fantastic to see how much you have grown and what you have achieved. It's been so lovely to see. I can't wait to get my hands on your book! Congratulations. 💖
Well done Lucy. I have pre ordered it immediately. Can’t wait to read it. Thank you 🙏
Oh my god it's finally happening!!! I think we all knew it was coming but to finally hear you talking about it is so exciting, and there is going to be another one!! 🥳 I can't wait to read it ❤️
Aghhhh I really hope you like it 🙈🥰🫶🏻
I’m so happy for you Lucy! Been subscribed for years and I can’t believe your dream has finally come true! You deserve it x
Less than 2 minutes into the video and I have never pre-ordered a book so fast. I am SO EXCITED for you and so excited to read your work!! (Also the premise is SO my cup of tea - magical realism is so my jam)
Ahhhh yay! Thank you SO much 🥰
I am so beyond ELATED for this news! I will be reading this at the very second I can get my hands on it!! Additionally, I am SO BEYOND happy for you! Lucy I cant think of anyone else that deserves this moment more than you :). An author!!! You are an author!!! AHHHHH!!!!
Congratulations Lucy! You should be so proud of yourself. Absolutely amazing achievement ❤️
Ahhh thank you! Gonna cry again 😂😭
I knew it! Yayayayay! So happy for you!
Thank you so much 😊
Watching this at the gym on the treadmill and nearly started crying with you 🥹 cannot wait to read the book ❤️ so proud of you!
Crying on the treadmill is a REAL MOOD. Thank you! ❤️
I did not expect to cry watching this video, but literal tears over here (proud ones, and because the idea of feeling like your potential has faded is very relatable) 😭😂
You absolutely deserve to feel proud of yourself and to make time and space to celebrate!🫶 I cannot wait to read this (I have said this a lot, but genuinely, so excited) 😍 would love to hear more about the whole process as well 📚
AHHHHHHHHH i’m so excited for you Lucy. You are so talented at storytelling, i can feel that this book will be binge-worthy & healing. Thank you for being you & im pre-ordering your book NOW !!!!!!✨♥️✨♥️✨
This is amazing news, congratulations!!!! I hope you're feeling the love from everyone pre-ordering and looking forward to reading it! Ahhhhh, congratulations! 🥰
I am so very proud of you ❤ I’ve watched you for so many years seeing the spark back to you is amazing 😊
Congratulations!! Wow what a fantastic story. I love how you just wrote a book because you just wanted to read it and now you’ve got a deal 😊 so inspiring ❤❤ can’t wait to preorder and read it 😊😊
As someone who’s also burrowed themselves away and worked on a book around life and work for the last few years, I am so SO unbelievably pleased for you. I shed a wee tear as you talked about your experience because you’re just SO bang on, it’s such a magical and deeply personal and isolating and wonderful process. (My only wish is that S&S published it so I could have designed your cover hehee) but you have such a way with words, and I have NO doubt this is going to be the most joyous and beautiful book, and I cannot wait to read it! Off I go to pre-order!!! Congratulations again champ ❤
Aghhhh its so nice to hear that others relate to such a strange experience 😂 thank you so much! Really appreciate it 🥰
Lucy, I’m so over the moon for you! Many congratulations! I’ve followed you for years now and haven’t commented much but after bawling my eyes out when you made the announcement in tears yourself I had to pass on my best wishes to you. At 5m:27s I paused the video and preordered your book immediately after the synopsis and that wonderfully inspiring sentence saying “you deserve to invest in yourself and your own magic…” You’re so right. This really hit me right in the feels- this year I’m finally allowing myself to invest in my small business and all the dreams I have for myself. It’s palpable how much this project means to you and it’s joyous seeing you so elated about it. Very best wishes m’lovely, Lucy xx
I looooove that! I have every faith in you 🥰 thank you so much for your kindness!
I can’t seem to preorder… Can it be preordered in the USA?
Yeayy! LUCY! thank you for writing Rewitched for all 30 somthing millennial witchy hearts! I cried watching you talk about this - well done! Xxx
