Hey Booktube! Cozy reading vlog to fight the reading slump after last week's vlog. I tried to read a summer beach book, got some new books and I'm planning on switching things up with the background!

I regularly volunteer at my local library for their booksales and we call Elin Hilderbrand the foot lady as most of her book covers have bare feet on them 😂 The chicken hearts I get for my boys come in a plastic tub, and one of them figured out how to open the tub by himself! Got to love the little gremlins, but they sure do cause chaos

NOT THE FOOT LADY!! 💀 Her books are so popular I don’t get it. I really wanted to love it but it really wasn’t for me. I need to find them in a tub size because the little bags aren’t enough! Some pets are just too clever

@@BookswithEmilyFox The brand in the tub is Tuesday’s natural dog company. Hopefully you’ll be able to get them where you are. They are labelled for dogs, but are safe for cats, just a little bigger, but I have to break them up anyways. I was shocked that he figured out how to open it as he isn’t the brightest normally, but I guess when it comes to food and treats he is

Last month I went to the library and read the back of the Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas and picked it up. I honestly had a fantastic time. I probably won't blind grab money books, but there is something magical when you grab one cause of the cover and you fall in love with their story.

I just finished rereading Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts, which I would classify as a "summer read", though I remember liking it more when I was younger (about mid-teens or so). It spans 1987 to around 1994 or 1995 and a lot the main plot happens during the summer months.

Obviously I hope you'll have a better experience, but I haven't seen anyone talk about it in years, so it'd be fun to hear fresh thoughts.

I get the feeling you won't like Women Who Run With The Wolves (even though I love it and would recommend it to several people). I will say that the introduction to the book is quite academically heavy, but that the rest of the book is not like that so much. It's the kind of book you can also dip in and out of and can read isolated chapters. In case it helps!

@@BookswithEmilyFox To be honest the idea of a man writing it seems ludicrous, but apparently that theory comes from people doing analysis of the writing style and linking it to some author guy whose wife grew up around the same area featured in the books (I could be mixing up details here, its been a while since I went down that rabbit hole) hence both of those versions of the theory
