Hello everyone!! I usually watch one or two YouTubers in the evening, and I have added a few new channels to my subscription list! Wyatt watches along with me, bless his little heart. It’s something we do, and it makes me think of when I would watch things with my mom at night, that I can’t say I really enjoyed but I enjoyed that time together.

The next two days are going to be in the 100 degree range with the heat index, so Wyatt and I will be stuck inside. We have lots to do but I am sure at some point in the day I will give up and throw on a “book lady” or two, probably from this list! (Wyatt calls them the book ladies)

First, let’s start with Amy Marie. She is mainly a cozy mystery and thriller book reviewer, and she is pretty prolific with her posting so I can usually count on a new video from her. I have added so many books to my TBR though watching her channel, so be warned. LOL.

Next up, is Rebecca from Rebecca’s Literary Wanderings. I enjoy her channel a lot, and I think that I have many reading tastes and ideas in common with her, so much so that sometimes she does a video and I am like dang, I was just going to write a post about this topic! I like her book choices, and her pursuit of a slow and simple life. She recently posted about a slow old fashioned summer, and it made me think of Wyatt and my Frog and Toad summer plans. (although our name is more fun) She reads a lot of gentle, vintage fiction, and is where I first learned about Gladys Taber.

I have also been watching Paula at Relatively Refined, although I do not usually watch her thrifting videos. I mainly watch her book videos. She reads a lot of different books, modern mysteries, vintage books, and has cute themed videos a lot, and we all know I LOVE a theme.

Finally, Jen at Jen’s Reading Life. She has introduced me to lots of new to me authors that are actually pretty old and vintage. She also reads a lot of Mary Stewart and I love Mary Stewart. Her latest video was all about summer mysteries for sunny days, which was a lot of fun. In it she mentions one of my favorite older mysteries, Hotel Paradise by Martha Grimes, and she is right, it feels so summer!

These women all have very watchable channels, full of book suggestions that range from cozy mystery to thriller to gentle vintage fiction to more classic mysteries. And my poor TBR pays the price.

I hope that whatever you do today, you do something that makes you smile!
