Thank you! 🤗 he drives me nuts sometimes, he’s not a fluffy puppy after all 😂, but he’s pretty good. It’s gonna be fun slowly filling it with books and weird decor, though weird without my adoptivish mom here to find out and spill to daddy who will want in on it. He got all sad/proud when I put together a bookcase myself while he was on a business trip. Hope your Summerween is full of fun reads. I think the UFOs definitely fit the vibe! Happy reading! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Yea, if I was expecting history or nonfiction that would be one thing, but an adventure novel?! 🙄 hope your reading is going well! It is quite varied. I know you’re excited to get to Blackwater! Happy reading! 😊

Thank you! I gotta figure out how to get him to snuggle more, but without peanut butter. That would just be a lot of drooling and Franny busting in with her big head slapping 😂 definitely gotta have fun with the clothes, I dunno how the boyfriend can live in solid colors all the time. That’s work clothes for me 😂 thanks for checking in! 😊

Thank you! It was a mostly good month. IT was killer!! 😅 Hope yours is going well! My mind has scattered and I’ve definitely got a rant worthy read, but I’ve got some good ones planned after it. Thanks for checking in! Happy reading! 😊

@@bighardbooks770 oh yeah. Gotta get more horror and creature features for Summerween! IT had potential but the style was definitely not for me. King I just don’t trust. He’s always mean to the doggies. And half the books are thick enough to classify as blunt weapons 😂 I’m typically a Koontz fan myself. I’ve gotta put a list on my phone as I always forget which ones I already have when I’m out and find a few shelves worth of options. 😂 thanks for checking in! Happy reading! 😊

@@bookstalgic I did accidentally buy some “Halloween” décor yesterday so it’s definitely coming up on time. Unfortunately it’s back in the 90s this week so it’s only fall on my house and mind here 😂 Thank you! IT was definitely a challenge!’and I saw you finished Clarissa! That’s quite the feat as well! Snow white was a lot of fun! The whole series is like that as far as the damsels go. The villains are usually still villains so this was a really fun twist. I’m not a fan of the classic fairytales, but KM Shea managed to ditch the obnoxious tropes and make em some of my favorites actually. Hope you get a chance to check em out and enjoy em! Thanks for always checking in! Happy reading! 😊

@@vens_corner love it! Thank You! My niece found the same print but as a dress. Too bad we live in different parts of the country, we could have fun with it! Now I’ll have to see what I can find about the poorly named Necromancer 😅hope your new books turn out fun! I may have gotten a few with a gift card myself. Oopsy! 😅😊

@@gingerbibliophile well deserved those gift cards I think

@@Cobaltdragon I can’t keep it alive, but I get one for a couple bucks to try every year 😅 this is the longest one has survived and it was completely dead but I guess the roots were managing as this shot up in the center of strictly grey droop and is spreading. If it could take being trampled, I’d try to replace my grass with it 😂. Good to know about the pokeweed, thank you! Shame it’s bad for pups as it is pretty when it sneaks up and was probably planted by nibbling birds 😂 I found a patch this round among their favorite crepe myrtle where there’s usually a nest hiding. Glad you’re enjoying the yard and animal antics! 😊

@@samhain81 that’s awesome! I hadn’t heard anything about it. Thank you!

@@DanielGafner glad I could give you a laugh! Thanks for checking in! Happy reading! 😊

@@vens_corner he surprised the crap outta me! That’s my “pet me” plant that was dead and started growing back. I was gonna trim the dead off and suddenly the dirt moved 😂

Thank you!! I’d love to hear your thoughts on these! Thanks for checking in my fellow gremlin! 😊

Thank you! I always feel like I’m confused rambling, but I have fun! 😂

Hey! 😊 I tried reading the book of the dead when I first found it, even in bits it’s a struggle, but interesting. Most of my subscribers are here for the animal shorts so it’s hard to get caught up in drama. Id love to chat with you and Greg at some point! No rush, life is crazy right now anyway 😊 thanks for checking in and happy reading!

@@gingerbibliophile Cooleeo 😎 Let's pencil you in for late November?

@@bighardbooks770 thanks! I never know what’s going on that far ahead, but I could maybe make that work! 😊

No problem! 😊 those poor trolls never realize the hair isn’t a dye job til they make a comment… 😂 happy reading!

Started in 2022 on a whim. Might’ve been here a while, definitely haven’t figured anything out 😅 glad to be entertaining! Thanks for checking in! Have fun with all those crazy reads you’ve got coming up 😂😊

He’s my lil snuggle baby! 😍 glad you enjoyed the commentary 😂 thanks for always checking in! 😊

Yes! They’re such butts always almost hanging out, the one does a slap and run. But there’s usually a few minutes of pretending the other one doesn’t exist so they can both be petted first 🙄😂

@@gingerbibliophile lol such cuties.

@@vens_corner a question for not today 😂 I’d go with either Amazonia or Subterranean. They’re stand alones, but still give you a feel for his style before kicking off a currently 18 book series, though the first one almost should be as well given there’s only one character that continued on from Sandstorm into the main group for the rest of the series. Thanks for checking in like always! Hope you’re having a nice vacation and some good reads! 😊

@@bookstalgic yay! Glad I could give you a little inspiration! Hope your garden turns out amazing and everything sprouts and flowers like it should! 😊

@@gingerbibliophile thanks! I have a Mandevilla that I planted in May that finally bloomed this week! 🌺🤣 I have a black raspberry bush that is totally invading my perennial bed too. Now that the berries are done, I need to cut that sh*t back! 😆

Love it! I’ve tried to grow mandevilla a few times, it’ll be so pretty…til I bring it home and kill it in a week! 😂 the boyfriend keeps trying to off our blackberry bush. I keep telling him to wait til it’s done then cut the stems that fruited. He just hacks at it as soon as it sprouts a bit at the start of spring. I’m amazed it’s managed to do so well. 😅 not that I get any berries from it. The birds go to town before it’s even fully ripened, but they’re cute and it’s not strawberries so they get away with it. What do you have in your perennial beds? I’d love to see em! I keep planting perennials, but the lime and crepe are the only ones to survive. Apparently lime trees are ridiculously hardy. I’ve yet to have a line actually get full sized, but it flowers like crazy and gets new leaves every year when I bring it back out 😅 the blossoms smell soooo good!

@@gingerbibliophile I lol’d at the boyfriend’s hacking 🤣. I saw a baby squirrel eating the berries this year, it was so cute! I caught it on camera so it will be in a future vlog! For perennials, I just have a small raised bed with bee balm, cone flowers, a peony bush, tulips and daffodils in the spring and hopefully the mums I planted last fall will reemerge. I don’t see signs of them yet so maybe I pulled them out by accident when I was weeding. I also have some hens and chicks succulents that seem to thrive and a purple clematis vine thats already past bloom. I planted a few more cuttings from my mom’s garden this summer but I can’t remember what they were. I’ll try to do a quick garden tour in a vlog in the future although it’s like a wild mess now 😆

@@bookstalgic oh squirrels! I still can’t believe ours chewed through the bird seed container to climb in, or took out a sunflower that want sturdy enough to hold it while he tried to bite off the flower 😂 Sounds like you’ve got quite the gorgeous garden! I’ve been meaning to try to plant a few of those myself. Some I have to avoid in case the pups wanna do their cow impressions on something besides the grass 🙄😂 hopefully the mums come back! Weeds are sneaky! I let em go thinking it’s flowers sprouting just to be tricked and have way more than I will ever be able to rid of by the time they’re along enough to tell what’s what 😂

It definitely depends on how the weather decides to behave here. It’s been a tough one. Usually I’ve got a couple flowers that just go insane and spread everywhere, but a lot never took off or died this year. The groundhog nibbling and squirrel learning to climb flowers didn’t help, but it certainly cracked me up to see 😂 hope you can find some beautiful flowers that will do well in your area! Thanks for checking in! 😊

Thank you! I’m hoping that hibiscus survives and drops some seeds. It hasn’t bloomed since I made the video 😅 but we’ve got drenched the last 3 days so it’s not baking in the sun anymore for sure. That’s so cool you got an unplanned flowery bush! The butterflies are sneaky! We had a single black butterfly the other day but he zoomed around too much to catch anything of him. Thanks for checking in! Glad you enjoyed all the color! 😊

@@gingerbibliophile think that rain is headed our way, supposed to be a rainy weekend here, of course when I planned to go out and do yard work. Glad my jungle and yard visitors like the jungle look, has been a wild summer for weather. Butterflies are super sneaky, try to get the little skippers and others, ready to click and zoom off they go. Good thing the birds give me a bit more time to get some captures.

@@Cobaltdragon yes! The jungle and all it’s critters 😍😍 the birds definitely work with me more, though Woody and Flit are rare Scaredy cats 😂 the bunnies and squirrels I don’t blame, they can’t fly away from lil man so you just open the curtain or touch the door and they scatter usually 😂

It was definitely interesting. I bought it for the title/cover and then never made it passed the first paragraph after the boyfriend picked it up and read it to me wondering what I’d bought 😅 thanks for checking in. Happy reading! 😊

Oooh thanks for the tips! I don’t have that other James Patterson, but maybe it’s on Libby here. That’s disappointing about Digital Fortress, but I’ll still give it a try. I mean it was free and worse thing that happens is it goes on the unhaul shelf. I’ll be able to fit in Murder mysteries now 😅 how have you been? Thanks for checking in! Happy reading! 😊

@@gingerbibliophile Just thought I should give you the heads up on the Patterson. ;) I have been doing ok, just been really busy and unable to make or edit videos in a timely fashion. Hopefully that changes here soon. :)

The struggle when you want your human’s attention after being abandoned for evil work all day again, but it’s after dinner and the blanket is warm 😂 he’d been sitting up and pushing himself up on my stomach, but then his head got too heavy to hold up on his own. Head scratches work every time 😂

It’s always a fun surprise when I catch Flit. Usually it’s just a zoom too big to be a bee 😅

They’re my favorite price for books! 😂 you’re only in trouble if you get caught and leave evidence you can’t dispute 😈

Yes! It’s there’s a few other readers at work, but mostly we read different stuff so never know how it’s gonna go. Glad I’m not the only one that went off on a tangent with Moriarty. Seems there’s quite a few that have made it to tv shows, and I’ve not heard of a single one 😅 Mush?! 🤮🤮 I didn’t realize Dan Brown was that prolific! I knew he had a decent handful but dang. Jury’s still out on him 😂 thanks for watching! Happy reading! 😊

@@gingerbibliophile love the halo on your thumbnail, mighty fancy 👍 Dan Brown was crazy popular for awhile, got a lot of knickers in a knot with The Da Vinci Code.

@@Cobaltdragon yeah, if I’m thinking of the right one, he did have a religious bent. That’s one of those things you either love or hate and then half the folks hate it for the reason the other half loves it. Religion and politics, the two best ways to start a fight. Aside from claiming the wrong Disney princess or Harry Potter house is the best 😂But being forced to read it for a teacher I hated no less turned me off. I watched part of the movie when the boyfriend put it on and the bit I saw was interesting, so I’m curious.

Oh yes! It’ll help me fit in more murder mysteries for sure! Hope you’ve got some good books going! 😊

Mmhmm those are his excited attack kisses 😂😂 she’d had her breakfast and most of his so it was her nap time. She tries to get all meals and treats early and double, but she knows when it’s not gonna happen and flops out. Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for checking in! 😊

@@gingerbibliophile lol attack kisses. hehehe Franny funny girl. Always a fun adventure when you are reading the Grimm tales, never sure which will be funnier, your comments or the lil man hopping in and tail wagging like crazy.

Lol thank you! It’s always a surprise too whether he’s gonna stay on guard duty or decide he wants to snuggle or at least take a break for a cute attacks 😂 I don’t know how Dave manages to get Olive to chill and look at the camera. I could guarantee a visit, but it’d be a Franny head and a booty while they stared down the peanut butter spoon and drooled 😂

Thank you! I’m glad I could keep you company while you were cooking today! 😊

They are sneaky! Apparently there was a 3 way air battle while I was napping earlier. Most I’ve seen at a time is 2. There’s one male, one female, and one that I think is a youngster as their coloring is more muted than the other 2. Of course, there could be a couple of each and I just haven’t seen em close enough to note differences. Tiny sneaky cuties 😂

We’ve got 3 that we know of, but there’s always a battle between the 2 females. Apparently this yard isn’t big enough for such a tiny bird, but they seem to love the basil and zinnias 😍

Thank you! This was too much fun 😂😂

Yes! I haven’t figured out what to do for Back to Hogwarts day, but I do love Harry Potter 😊 how are you?

@@gingerbibliophile good and u

That’s good! Not too bad now that it’s my weekend 😂

@@gingerbibliophile that's nice 😁

I may have had fun with this one and had to keep stopping to tell the boyfriend what kinda craziness was going on by the end 😂

@@Cobaltdragon yes! I mean we can’t have em suffer through being uncovered or without elbow pillows 😂 thanks for watching! I don’t know how other folks can read without commentary, glad you enjoy it! 🤗

@@gingerbibliophile Zena is also a pillow monster - she uses to prop her head up which in her case makes breathing easier as she has asthma and allergies. I agree about reading with comments, makes the video more personal.

@@Cobaltdragon Awww that’s so cute! Poor thing having breathing problems!

@@gingerbibliophile she even has a kitty puffer, good thing she knows how to use with some help from her dad.

@@Cobaltdragon lol thank you! Told you I had an outfit planned 😂 you’re only as old as you feel! But for a book, it’s practically a museum relic. Shoot, 10 years for books is almost a forgotten treasure if they don’t still have series or some kind of movie/tv adaption these days.

@@gingerbibliophile hope you didn't wear that to see Deadpool, lol, boyfriend would have missed the movie. 🤣🤣🤣 Sadly you are right about the age of books, some libraries take books off the shelves after a certain date - silly as so many great older reads out there.

@@Cobaltdragon 😂😂 you’d think, but nah. He’s seen this top over the years. Now the leopard print leggings that fit just right…😈😂😂 tech and media, 2 things that don’t age well, but I prefer some of the older stuff 😊

Lol thank you! I had way too much fun with this 😂 how are you? Hope you’ve got some good reads going! 😊

Oh yeah! That book was an experience 😂

Ah no loincloth action? Can’t say I’d ever heard of him til I just saw an interesting cover in the used bookstore. Definitely different 😊 hope it gets smutty for you soon! Happy reading!

Thank you!!!! 😊 I had way too much fun with this! 😂 That’s why used bookstores are so dangerous for me. All the old or not talked about enough books that you aren’t gonna find in most places, at least without knowing to look for em specifically, so I snatch em up before I can forget about em. Sometimes they’re amazing, sometimes they’re duds. There’s been ones I’ve tried to find follow ups at my library but they rarely have em. Libby has been helpful much more than the physical library locally for me. Good luck finding it and thanks for stopping in! Happy reading! 😊

Thank you! I learned from the best, though I can’t pull it off as well. It was so much fun to do! 😊

@@DianeSLoftis thank you! I had fun! It was definitely an experience to read 😅
