 Hello, hello everyone. My name is Laura. This is my channel Laura's Little Library and welcome to today's video Which is a kind of 24 a day long read-a-thon Not really 24 hours, but like for today So it is currently like 11 o'clock and we actually got home last night from Morocco, so Everything's a little crazy right now I have today and then I start work tomorrow and I'm going to be working full-time until school starts And then I'm gonna go down to part-time and then do school So I I thought you know what this day off that I have there's a lot that I need to do a lot that I need to get done But I haven't done a lot of reading on Vacation because you know I'm going out. I'm doing things. I'm seeing things blah blah blah And so I just haven't been reading as much as I normally did so I thought I would take a day to read some graphic novels because there are some really good graphic novels. I've been wanting to read and This would just help me get back into especially physically reading starting things and completing things You know what I mean when you just need like that boost of I haven't been reading I need some short and quick to kind of throw me back into it or at least ease me back into it So that's what today is going to be I'm going to kind of alternate Where I'm gonna like do a task maybe to Read a book do a task maybe to read a book, but I do have some other fun things like I got to open some book mail. I'm gonna go book shopping as well Because I need some graphic novels I was supposed to get at least two books in the mail while I was gone and I only see one package But it could just be that I don't know where my family has put the other package for me So it's gonna be a little bit scattered, but it'll be okay So right now I am looking at on-campus jobs at school And I'm getting sidetracked because I was doing something else and I don't remember but I I have been productive I've done some things this morning already. So yeah, it is now almost two o'clock. I Haven't read anything yet. And here's the here's why I had bought a graphic novel And it was shipped to my house and now that I'm home I I was gonna open it and that was gonna be the first one I read before I did my errands because I'm doing them in the afternoon and I get home and there's only one package from Barnes & Noble not two and I know what the package the other one is and we'll open that together later And it's not the graphic novel So I haven't read anything, but I am gonna go out and run my errands now and grab other graphic novels that I'm going to read But hopefully we can find the other one because I wanted to read them all today because I start work tomorrow I don't have time. So we're gonna go runs of errands now Mission complete books have been acquired ran to Sephora for a little basics refresh Very very small and now I have an eye appointment To because I think I need an updated prescription and before I start working for a glasses company Full-time where I get free glasses every once in a while I want to get the most out-to-date prescription and Because my eyes have been driving me nuts recently and I have some questions And after that I'm gonna go home I'm gonna read one of these books because I've done a lot and I haven't read anything yet I'm gonna do a couple other things, but then I am probably gonna get a haircut with my mom. So That's the plan I'm in my mom's car. I love driving my mom's car All right, but I got to get to that appointment. So let's go. Oh, okay. I'm already back home. It's 530 which I got much later starts good day than I thought I would But it was worth it Because we didn't get home until 1 30. So I wasn't asleep until 2 a.m. So woke up at 9 kind of got a late start, but it's fine. It's fine, but Let's go over. Okay. So This is gonna be the whole portion of the day. I had to After my eye appointment, I was recommended to get some eye drops So I had to get those fun fun. My eyes don't work so Maybe now they will and then I went to Sephora Which I wear makeup pretty much every day because I think it's fun and I it boosts my confidence But I don't wear a lot of makeup like I don't wear foundation I only wear concealer when I need it You know, it's just very basic minimal stuff, but I needed more eyebrow filler I kind of just get whatever I see that I like that has approach This is why I'm not a makeup person like a beauty guru kind of thing So I got some my route and then I got some new blush because I only have one One blush and I like it. It's great. I wear it. I wear blush very lightly But I did want a different color I want to kind of experiment and play around with different color blushes a little bit So I got myself. I cheated myself. This is part of my usual daily routine and this was a treat of You survived traveling for Longer than 48 hours Feel pretty look look pretty And now the exciting part that you're actually here for the books So sorry for all the mess and chaos When you move from one state to another state and then instantly go on a two-month vacation out of the country Life becomes chaos. So that's really what this vlog is. It's just it's a chaotic 24 hours. Anyway We're gonna start off with some bookmarks. So like I said, I have this one package. I know what it is I'm very excited But I still haven't found my other package I am Sure, it's around here somewhere like I am so sure it's gotta be somewhere in this house So Fourth wing of course, of course. I read this. I loved it just like everyone else So I needed a copy and I wanted a copy when Barnes & Noble didn't have a single copy in the entire state and probably in The entire country. So I put in an order and now it's here and it's so Shiny and it's so big like I knew it was a little like thicker like it's a good fantasy novel But it's like tall and a little thick. I love it So so I have this it's not a graphic novel obviously Um But I have that and then the other book that is around here somewhere I swear is the sprite in the gardener and this is a graphic novel I ordered it because I wasn't sure it was going to be available in Barnes & Noble So I got it sent here and then also I would have one for the morning before I went out and ran all my errands and then I couldn't find it so I did not buy it though because I'm I want to Go through all of my stuff first because I'm gonna need to go through all my stuff anyway because I need to like Partly move into my parents house and then get ready to move into our next living situation So I'm gonna be sorting through. I'm not super worried. I'm just kind of bummed that I won't read it today Unless I find it today But what I got at Barnes & Noble today at first off the first book I'm gonna say not a graphic novel is Bring Me Your Midnight by Rachel Griffin. I have Instantly purchased and read every Rachel Griffin book I got. I actually pre-ordered this but because of traveling kind of messed up our Credit cards and debit cards like just our whole financial system got so messed up Even though we called everyone beforehand and was like hey, we're gonna travel to like ten different countries this summer You know don't flag our account, please Still had issues, so I'm going to cancel my order of this because it didn't like go through So I'm just gonna officially cancel the order because now I have it in person and It's it's beautiful. I don't think this is my favorite cover of hers and And all of Rachel Griffin's books are the two others Have really pretty like under the dust jacket Oh, this one's got a big old quote. I mean, it's still beautiful. It's still gorgeous It's different and I like the other ones better, but I'm really excited for the story I feel like this story is bigger than her other books because her first first book is introducing her version of Magic in our world like urban fantasy kind of the second book is a very contained bubble Like this is the story. You've got like four characters and it's just a nice Like day read kind of thing and I loved it. I think that is honestly my favorite and this one seems much more like in The magic world like more broad and with higher up people and so I am really excited that this is going to be like just a bigger story in her world of Pacific Northwest witches, so Super excited for that And they're always very Like in tune with nature, you know, it's Pacific Northwest vibes So I think it'll be a nice one to read this fall now onto the graphic novels And I am gonna try and read one right now Just because I've done so much work and I could definitely use a break But I also know that dinner's gonna be ready soon and then we have so much to do after dinner And there's still a ton that I have to do before I start work tomorrow like all of my clothes I've done laundry so that all of my Vacation clothes are clean, but they're vacation clothes. They are not appropriate for the office so and all of my other clothes are packed away in a different room not in our Bedroom at all. So I still have to go find them and dig them out and put them in the room so that I can Get dressed in the morning because I'm not a morning person This is not something I can do in the morning. I have to Have clothes in this room for me to wear If I'm gonna get dressed the next day Anyway, let's continue on so I did get three graphic novels and I am so the first one is the Mothkeeper by Katie O'Neill. I love the T-Dragon books by this author and This just seems so sweet and you know, she's a Mothkeeper and but she's kind of like You know, what if I want to see daylight? What if I want to see this done and not just be like a keeper of the night moths And so I think it'll be a cute like heartwarming maybe a little heart-hitting graphic novel Happy about that and then oh my word I have heard a couple people talk about this next one and I think it's gonna be perfect for fall Yeah, like I said, I've heard a couple people talk about I'm like that's exactly what I need in my life And that is Basil and oregano and this is by Melissa Caballion I'm sorry. I feel like it's an Italian name and I'm not Italian I don't know. This is it. This is the graphic novel It is tall but short and it's about these girls who go to like this magic cooking school question mark. It's just a regular cooking school but I believe it's queer and I just So I have this one which I don't know if I want to read this I don't know if I want to read this one first or the last book that I got every spooky season comes and Goes and every time it comes. I'm like, ah this year. I'm gonna read this book this year. I'm gonna buy it I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna love it And it just didn't happen. So this year. This is the year. I'm gonna gonna read it because I bought it finally and That's MimCakes by Wendy Zoo Suzanne Walker and Yo, I met Gil again. I'm pro. I probably butchered those things, but you know, it's a queer love story with like a witch and a werewolf and look Baking I love baking in books. So Yeah, like I think this is a I think honestly this I might say this for spooky season Which in my opinion now that it's August I can start thinking about and getting ready for fall This I think is a good fall book and I think this is a good fall book I think right now I'm going to read Basil and a Reginald just because I don't have a lot of time And it's the shortest graphic novel of them. So I'm gonna do this probably gonna have dinner Gonna try and straighten out this room Which will probably be a part of my monthly reset Because I need to film my monthly reset video Mostly cuz I need a monthly so and Then we have to we're gonna go to my partner's family and say hi, we're back. We missed you And then I just gotta get ready for tomorrow make make lunch for tomorrow you know do those do those adulty things and Some more computer work, but first I'm gonna take a little like 30 minutes self-care and read Basil and oregano. I just got called down for dinner, but I am 30 pages into basil and oregano, and this is the cutest thing ever and it's super inclusive which just warms my heart like nothing else, so Would you just be in a cutie pie? Yeah Good morning. It's actually the next day. So we had I don't remember when I updated you at dinner I did some more reading. I did some more cleaning and Then we went and said hi to my partner's family. We got back when you're super tired. I was I have to tell her here with me Then we just went to bed. I didn't quite finish basil and oregano, but I woke up a little earlier today Then I thought I would so I I Am gonna quick finish reading it because I was almost done. I got real close to the end So I'm really sad. I had to like pause it for a hot second. Yeah You just being adorable, aren't you? It's really cute. I really love it I Love the food and everything so Yeah, I'm gonna quick finish that and then I got to get ready for my first day at work I didn't think this would be a 24-hour Thing in the sense of like it was just gonna be yesterday. So it was probably gonna be more like 12 to 14 hours, but I guess I'm gonna continue it this morning because I want to read at least one book So I'm gonna do that now Okay, I did finally just quick finish basil and oregano and it is pure perfection It is adorable and it brought me pure joy even this early in the morning. So Definitely a five stars. I I just loved it and I don't think I'll be able to read any more graphic novels Unfortunately at least not in this vlog, but I'll I'll read them in the next couple of days. So There we go now I got to get ready for my first day of work Thank you everyone for watching this very chaotic 24 hours.
