Thanks to everyone for sticking around during my brief hiatus, I never intended to take a break from uploading, it just kind of happened naturally after feeling slightly burnt out. Anyways, I'm back with a wrap-up of the books I read across the summer.
I've missed you all so much and thank you for being here. 🫶🏾

#HidingHim #Booktube #Readingvlog #Newbooks #YANovel #2024booksbirthday book haul | literary fiction, romance, LGBTQ+ and antiques 📖 👑Nickelle’s Nook2024-06-19 | Hello everyone, I thought I'd show you what books I picked up from Addyman Books and Richard Booths in Hay-on-wye. I also purchased a few gems from the Hay Antique Market too! ✨
I hope you guys are well and I'll speak to you in my next video!
P.S my replies to comments might be slow, on the day of filming, this many hours later I tested positive for the rona 😭 it was a huge shock and was rather unpleasant to experience the second time around. Luckily, I'm doing okay (ish) now ☺️ but it's still lurking around so I'm just trying to rest as much as I can.
I've been a little quiet lately as I've been celebrating my birthday! 🎈🎂 I took a trip to the world’s first book town, Hay-on-wye, as the treehouse I stayed in wasn't too far. I had the pleasure of reading Funny Story, by Emily Henry for the entire trip (I still have mixed feelings on that book btw) and starting I See Buildings Fall Like Lightening by Keiran Goddard. Anyways… I'll definitely return to Hay-on-wye, especially to Richard Booths book shop as I could have easily spent all day in there.
I hope you enjoy this vlog and I can't wait to share all of the books and antiques I bought on the trip. 🥰

I thought I would do the ‘last book tag’ as I recently watched @banjobiblioteca create this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I guess this is kind of a preview to a monthly reading wrap up.
Let me know what you think and if you’ve read any of these books.
Also I would LOVE some lit fic recommendations if you have any. 📚
P.S. Do you think I should join bookstagram? Let me know in the comments below.

This was an incredibly tough video to do. However, I hope this can help someone navigate this illness, even if it's just one person.
I’ve been living with Long Covid for almost three years now. With it being Long Covid Awareness Day, I wanted to share my story to those who may not be aware of the millions of people living with this debilitating condition, on a daily basis.
Thank you for watching. 🫶🏾

I decided to tier rank my 5⭐️ reads (whilst sneaking in a few 4.5⭐️ reads too). I saw @Blacklore_uk do this recently, it looked like fun, so I thought I'd take a crack at it.
Also, let me know if you guys are fans of Paramore too! There's a really cool podcast I listen to called @blackpeopleloveparamore which I highly recommend you give a listen. It's not just about Paramore as they do discuss other topics as well! However, the host, Sequoia actually got to interview the queen herself, Ms Hayley Williams and I was GAGGED!!!! 👑 🎸

For the month of Feb I read a total of 4 books and 1 DNF 😭 It wasn’t as great as Jan, but I still had a good time.
Let me know if you’ve read any of these books, or if you have any recommendations from these books that you’ll think myself or anyone else would enjoy! I would love another James Baldwin recommendation.

How's everyone doing? 🫶🏾
I've read a total of 5 books for January, and three of them I rated 5 stars ⭐️ so I’m really chuffed with that! It’s been a fab month of reading. I certainly needed it as I’m not a huge fan of January.

💌 Business enquiries: nickellesnook@gmail.comWe’ve reached 20k, it’s time for a Q&A… 💖Nickelle’s Nook2023-12-28 | Hi everyone,
Merry Christmas, I hope you all had a good one! 🫶🏾
I’m currently editing my next video, so that should be up very soon! 👀
However, I couldn’t not acknowledge the fact that we’ve reached 20k subs! A milestone I thought I would never achieve. Thank you so much for everyone who has subbed thus far, I’m grateful for all of you.
It would be rude not to do a Q&A, so feel free to leave your questions below. They can be bookish or just general personal questions! 💭
I look forward to reading them and I’ll speak to you soon! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎Come book shopping with me | online edition 📚✨👩🏾💻Nickelle’s Nook2023-12-14 | Hi everyone, I hope you're all well. 🤎
A bit of a different one today, I've been housebound for a couple of days after a recent crash off the back of having a mini social life (you just can't have it all these days). 🙃🙃😂 IYKYK
So, I decided to film a chilled, book shopping video from the comfort of my home.
I hope you enjoy coming book shopping with me and thank you so much for the recommendations, you guys really delivered. When they arrive, we'll go through them and I'll also talk more about the books as I missed some of the summaries.
It's a bit of a lengthy one, so pop the kettle on. ☕️
*Please excuse the over exposed footage. I've had an absolute mare with editing this video. The new editing software I've used as added a default horrible, exposed washed out filter as it wasn't compatible with my iPhone that I used to record. Unfortunately, I couldn't refilm as I've already purchased the books. So I thought I would upload it anyways. 🤷🏾♀️
I think I've figured out the problem, so I'm hoping it doesn't happen for the next video. 🤞🏾
