Right?!? Oh yes I loved Buffy! Never seen Gilmore Girls, I know I need to watch it and Abbott Elementary is so good! Quinta Brunson really deserves all of the flowers she’s been getting for that show. 🫶🏾
My comfort shows are The Great British Baking Show and Arthur. ❤ The Harry Potter books, films and Jacqueline Wilson books are my childhood favourites! 😊
I highly recommend you read some Zadie Smith novels, you will love them! White Teeth is phenomenal, but I would say On Beauty is a similar character-driven vibe to Cleopatra and Frankenstein ❤
Yes great shout! Zadie Smith has been on my radar for a while, I’m sure white Teeth is on my TBR, but will definitely check out On Beauty if it’s similar vibes to Cleopatra and Frankenstein. Thanks so much for the suggestion 🥰
My first ever concert was Selena Gomez when she was still in Wizard's of Waverly Place. I was 8 or 9 and my girl scout troop went together. I don't remember much about it except that she sang Who Says which is still my favorite song by her all these years later because of that experience.
Oh wow!!!!! That’s amazing! Was she good live? I know she gets a lot of stick online for her social media antics, but I do have a soft spot for Selena. And I LOVE her makeup brand Rare Beauty. Plus I love that she’s an advocate for Lupus and other autoimmune diseases. 🤍
Great chat! 😊 It’ll be interesting to see if your family ever find your channel. I never told my family I do this but one day my mother casually mentioned a video I posted and now I’m self conscious about what I say sometimes because I worry she might be watching. 😅
girl woman other was definitely an intrinsic part of my reading journey. one of the first books i read that put black british women like me front and center 🫶🏾
I grew up watching so much Disney channel, and Gilmore Girls! I've heard such good things about Abbott Elementary! OH MY GOSH your words are so sweet and kind and I am honestly blushing and so flattered that you've been enjoying my videos! Thank you, so much! I hope you know I always look forward to your videos!!!!! 💖
As someone with chronic pain and symptoms associated with endometriosis, thank you so much for the effort and energy you put into your videos. You are simply radiant and your channel has become such a comfort to me.🖤🖤 …plus you’ve helped to reignite my love of reading and provided some great book recs to boot! so thank you, Nickelle!! :)
Awww wow, this means so so much! It honestly does. Thank you 💕 Ahh yes! That’s amazing, are you reading anything at the moment? Sending you lots of love 🤎
🙈🙈 I promise you I have the most bland skincare routine ever, but I promise I’ll share it in a video if I remember haha But thank you so much for the kindness 💖💖
Omg SAME about Sex and the City, I remember watching it way too young, so many of the jokes and topics probably went straight over my head as I was so naive haha. I must have seen it countless times now, the ultimate comfort show 🥰 others I always rewatch are Greys Anatomy (the early seasons), Gilmore Girls, and can't beat some Desperate Housewives.
Same!!!!! Yeah I think I’ve watched it through all the way only about 5 times, but will watch my fave episodes hundreds of times. I absolutely love it, however some of the episodes haven’t aged well 🙈 Oooh I’ve heard good things about Greys, especially as it’s created by Shonda Rhimes! Same with Desperate Housewives as well. I plan to watch both at some point haha 😜
Lovely Q&A! I find it very refreshing to watch booktubers like you who don’t focus on the number of books being read, like there’s enough pressure already in life! Let’s not compete at reading 😅 I’m definitely one of those who were inspired to start a channel from your newbie video, I had wanted to for a while but I didn’t have the courage. But seeing your video I felt like I didn’t want to wait on life, or how to put it. I felt like let’s just give it a go. Like allow myself to do it for fun. I’m also with you on SATC, I didn’t have the channel it aired on growing up (we were a low tech household haha) and I was too young anyway, but I watched it in my 20s and then again and again. They’re not perfect but that’s kind of the beauty of it for me. I’m not either! 🌸
Aww thank you! Yes I completely agree with you. 4 or 5 books max a month for me is pretty good going! Ah that’s amazing, I’m so glad you joined and gave it a go! ☺️ Ugh another SATC fan 🫶🏾 Haha yes you’re right, all four girls are flawed, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤍 Like you said, we’re not perfect either xx
Awwww of course 🥰 Looool I’m glad it isn’t just me then 😂 I’m just trying to see how long it takes until someone brings it up. But until then I’m keeping my mouth shut 😂 Oh this season of LIB was really and truly scrumptious!
This was really fun, loved the TV nostalgia!! I loved sister sister too 😊 I am 10 years older than you, but I absolutely loved Moesha as a teen, she was my fave. Also Dawsons Creek and Gilmore Girls are big comfort reads for me. I've watched DC a million times!! SATC, absolutely. Friends! Great video Xx
Ahhhhh I LOVED Moesha!!! She was a big style icon for me growing up. They’ve removed it from Netflix which is so annoying! 😭 Awww they’re all such amazing comfort shows xx
Omg this made reflect on all my comfort shows, my wife and kids!!’ Anything on trouble, Disney channel snd Nickelodeon 🥹 awww thank you so much for the mention 🩷 Also I’m in looove with your lamp, is it from pooky?
Omg yes!! One on One, Eve, Half and Half! I miss trouble so much 😭😭 Loved the Amanda show as well and Kenan and Kel! Oh no problem! 💞 And yes the lampshade is pooky (got it in the sale) and the base is from Dunelm, I just painted it. ☺️ xxx
Keep doing what you're doing, I'm here for the vibes and calm and I love your videos 💛 Also, totally a Disney girlie here. Zack and Cody, Raven, Miley (still love her to death to this day), LIZZIE MCGUIRE was my first crush ever, The Sleepover, all the movies... my goodness, the golden age of Disney!!!
Omg I can’t take all of the nostalgia in this comment! I can’t believe Lizzie McGuire only had 2 seasons! It was way ahead of its time. 😭😭😭😭 And I’m not surprised, she was hella cute! 🥰 They need to make the damn Time Machine already. Early 00’s tv is where it’s at! I’m also a Miley fan as well, I was so happy when she won her first Grammy. 🙌🏾
Oh my gosh Jacqueline Wilson!! That is a blast from the past!! I'm the same when it comes to books that aren't out yet, I don't really look so I don't usually pre-order either! X
So nice to get to know you a bit more… my jaw hit the ground when you said only your husband knows you have a RU-vid channel! I have never shared it on my personal socials, but my closest family and friends know. I also loved the book fair at school, and loved Jaqueline Wilson. Have just had a look at her ya book as you pointed it out 😊 Hope you’re doing well Nickelle ❤
Oh my days the ads chat! Haha. I have a list of 5 brands that I would DREAM to work with; otherwise not interested. I like that you have strong morals and aren’t afraid to share that 😊
Ahh that’s good that your closest pals and fam know. Do they regularly watch your videos? 😂😂😂 looooool I don’t know why I haven’t shared it, I guess I just like it being my little secret for now. I’m gonna see how long I can go until someone finds it and lets me know. I’ve just read that she’s releasing an adult sequel to Girls in Love!! So I’ll be for sure reading that. Haha I may have opened up a can of worms 😂 I’m the same as you there’s defo brands I wouldn’t turn down as it would come from a genuine place. 🥰 But yeah anything else is a hard no.
@@NickellesNook some friends and family watch regularly (my sister is awesome), others don’t (my parents 😂). Absolutely if you want to take a sponsorship then go for it; I think you have to do whatever feels right for you and your channel. If you’re genuinely excited to share a product or service then why not 😊 You’ll have to keep us updated on if someone you know finds your channel. Someone I went to school with was on the Birmingham come dine with me the other week… it was so strange just randomly seeing him on the tv! 😂 … I’d love to know what their reactions are; especially with how many subs you have! 🥳🎉💃🏻
Awww that's lovely!! Yeah I don't think my parents would be interested either 🙈😂@@MichelleReadsandVlogs I completely agree with you re sponsorships!! Haha yeah I defo will! Oh no way?! Yeah I bet that was really surreal and such a shock
Yaasss! Honestly, I’m right there with you. I still watch Hannah Montana now on Disney + and I religiously listen to the Cheetah Girls 2 soundtrack! 😂 Gotta feed the inner child you know 💖
Wow, so many of your comfort films and TV shows are mine tooo! That's So Raven was formative for me lol. Omg and the Clay reference- this season of LIB was SO entertaining. I also haven't told a soul about my channel except my partner because he lives with me and I had to.. I kind of love that you haven't even though you have such a big following now! You're a real one 💛
OH SNAP! 😉 LIB S6 was a wild ride for sure 😂 Haha you’re the same as well! I guess I just wouldn’t know how to bring it up in conversation, so I’m just leaving it for now. 😂 I’m so with you on that one. If I didn’t live with my partner, I don’t know if I would have told him either haha 🙈
I flipping love it so much!!! I think my fave episode is the work outing when they go to the theatre 😂 Or the dinner party, or the countdown episode. Gosh, there’s just too many to choose from 😂
The loved the new adaptation of The Color Purple! Still watching, just doing things around my apartment so mostly listening :) I have a channel too :) I don't normally share that in comments, but toward the end you asked ;)
omggg i feel you there with Carrie i love her butt she really does have the audacity most times like miss girl what are you doing? will never forgive her with Aiden 😭 Miranda and Sam is where it's at frr
Tell me about it!!! She’s SO messy!!! Don’t get me started on how she treated Aiden!!!! He’s such a sweet soul. 😭😭😭 Miranda and Sam all day. I do love Charlotte too, but she can be quite stuck up at times. 🙈 Have you watched ‘And Just Like That’?
i've never seen it i had no idea there was a follow up!!?? i just remember watching the movies after the tv series ended and thinking that was it i am soooo binge watching it now. BUT where is Sam??@@NickellesNook
Yes there’s two seasons for you to catch up on, and they’re filming a third! Brace yourself though, it’s nowhere near as great as the original series. TBH the SATC fandom kind of hates it 😅 Also Samantha didn’t want to come back for it, which is such a shame, but understandable. 😭 She’s really missed and I think that’s why a lot of people don’t like it. She does make a brief cameo in the 2nd season though. But yeah let me know what you think when you get round to watching it. 🤍
Really admire you. Watched all of your videos to date. Baby Love by Jacqueline Wilson is fab. I’m not sure if you have seen, but she is releasing a 4th book of The Girls series, which follows Ellie, Magda and Nadine in their 40s!! Exciting stuff. 😊😊
I’ve just seen it this morning that she’s releasing another book following on from the Girls In Love series!! I never read the books, but I watched the tv series! Will be for sure pre-ordering. I may read the books beforehand. Might make an interesting video as well haha
Love your videos and channel!! You’ve definitely inspired me to consider starting a channel. I’m very active on my bookstagram but have never done any chatting to the camera. Do you have an Instagram account (bookish or otherwise haha)? Also would love a q&a answering more of the non bookish qs if you’re up for sharing it. One day broke me - I do want to rewatch it though 😅
Ahh amazing! I don’t have a bookstagram… yet! I’m very tempted to make one though. Ahh okay, yeah I can defo do a part 2 of non bookish q’s Just didn’t know if anyone would be interested haha Omg I still think about it! I was a wreck for the whole afternoon after watching it 😭😭
Omg better help is literally everywhere!! I also have started my own booktube channel @shelbysbooknook You are so inspiring thank you so much for sharing with us and welcoming us to your space. 😊
