i finally caught...well, you know 🫣😷 so i just read all week | a sick (and long) reading vlog [cc] 

No Noelle, you made it so far!!! Hope you’re feeling better and thank you for this long vlog even though you’re sick!! We love you!❤️

Going to pause the video and finish it when I get home from work. Just wanted to pop in and give you a virtual hug and say I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Just know there's a 58 year old woman in Ohio that is sending some caring vibes your way.

'My good mood from yesterday has left the f**king building' made me cackle so much!

speaking of audiobooks, you would be an amazing narrator for one

I absolutely ADORED what you said about short stories helping with anxiety, it’s so true - there’s something so comforting in the brevity of each story and being exposed to a variety of others’ experiences. So bummed that you were sick but on the bright side, an hour of noelle ❤️

I am literally sitting here...eating noodles I can't taste... Crying.. Reading a book and I went to youtube and this was the first thing I saw. Ugh. I love your videos. Never change Noelle

I caught the plague over the 4th of July weekend and it kinda put me in a reading slump so its kinda nice to see you actually reading through the week which is what I wanted to do instead of just being a blob the whole time.

Hope you are feeling better! I had COVID back in January and the no smell or taste thing was absolutely wild. I hated it so much. I had it for a good week and when my taste was back I almost cried from joy. Lol

You are lucky you're able to read being sick! When I caught it in Jan this year (after almost 2 whole years!), I was so sick I couldn't do anything but sleep and watch The Office. I couldn't even focus on watching a new movie or show - it has to be something familiar so I could close my eyes. So I'm glad you have books to keep you occupied. Hope you get better soon!

I just recovered and honestly spent the time reading, and your previous vlogs got me through my days tbh! Hope you feel better soon ❤️

The fact that I got covid at the same time and also decided to try and read as much as possible whilst feeling like absolute shit and then you uploaded this beautiful and super relatable vlog😭♥️ really hope you are feeling better!!!

I only just started watching your videos about a week ago and I cannot get enough! I especially love your reading vlogs because your personality is so endearing and your sense of humor is infectious and bright. Major kudos (salute) to you for sticking with the vlog through all the icky sickness. Hope you feel better soon and I can’t wait for your next video ♥️

I always save your videos for when Im feeling extra anxious, this long video is a life saver today. Thank you for being you ❤️ hope you’re feeling better!

I'm so glad you liked Milk Blood Heat! Dantiel was my creative writing professor in college and she's a gem in real life and on the page. So glad her book is getting more eyes on it!

feels so odd to say i enjoyed this so much since you were so sick all throughout but .... i really did enjoy this long vlog! hope you're feeling much better now!!

I just LOVE your vlogs, girl!! They're my comfort place to go when I'm anxious or not in a good place! Also, I hope you're' feeling better!

OMG how timelyyy T.T - I tested positive yesterday. I'm immunocompromised so I totally freaked out. This is the content I need to get me through it, thank you so much!!!!

So sorry about you getting sick, but I’m ecstatic about a long reading vlog😍 hope you’re feeling better, Noelle!

Hope you’re feeling better!! Loved the vlog, it’s always one of my favorite types of yt content ❤️

I feel what you say about reading short stories or stories about the life of other people. It puts your life into perspective. It makes me feel like I'm not alone with my trauma or my problems and people have it so much worse or equally as bad. Its also just so interesting to read about other lives and experiences for me. Hope you feel better soon

I hope you feel better. I caught it 2 weeks back and man the pain! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I keep coming back to this video whenever I'm sick, it gives me comfort :D

Hope you'll feel so much better! So great you still gave us amazing reading content! Thanks.

i love your take on why short story collections can be calming and make you feel like you’re not alone. short stories come with their own very special dose of magic. i don’t know how you feel about murakami but he has a bunch of short story collections that you might want to check out!! hope you feel better now 🤍

I have covid right now and have been down and out for over a week… this video was exactly what I needed! Feels like I have a friend going through the same thing 💕 I’m so sorry you’re sick! Feel better angel!!

Sorry you’re sick, I caught it last year and it was honestly the most stubborn fever I’ve ever had and the chills were brutal. I hope you feel better soon and all your books bring you some comfort :)

I also caught it for the first time this month and it felt horrible, but I'm better now and hope you're 100% recovered! I read White Nights, Midnight Library and Crooked Kingdom while I was at home and at least the books were great!! Thanks for sharing the vlog! ❤

as someone who has done everything they could to keep off The Sick, i have gotten it 3 times (thanks autoimmmune issues!) and i feel your pain!! please just rest up and keep up a recovery becayse i know it’s hard to get over it even after a week. thank you so much for even posting something while feeling sick!

I love your videos Noelle! Thank you so much for making content! I hope you’re feeling better 🖤❤️

your reading vlogs are my favorite ❤️❤️ get well soon!!

Feel better babe! Being sick sucksssss, thank you for being the queen you are and still delivering A+++ content. We love you for it & for this long vid 😍🤘🏼

I agree that Every Summer After is exactly like Love and Other Words. I noticed it right away too lol. But honestly I wasn’t mad about it since I really enjoyed both!

Ahh nothing better than a Saturday morning with tea and a 47 minute reading vlog from Noelle

hope you're feeling better by now 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 thanks for vlogging for us even though you were sick!!!

before the coffee gets cold is terrific. It's so short but so thought-provoking. I suggest you listen to the audiobook

Me too! I've just gotten it in the last few days as well. Glad to have you for company while I'm isolating from my family.

Feel better! When I had it a few weeks ago, I was too sick to even read. I just Star-fished on my bed with podcasts playing 🫡

Currently on day 3 and trying to let the plague pass, I also somehow avoided it for 2.5 years and it’s finally struck me down 😞 wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

When I had Covid, between sore eyes, headache, and brain fog, I couldn't read the hours away, and it didn't even have the courtesy of making me tired and sleepy. Instead I just spent a week observing how crappy I felt. I'm pretty impressed that you could even vlog! I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon! Love that you see a positive…that you can read all the books. 📚

Noooo!!! Hate that you caught Covid 😭😭 but can we talk about how happy I am that we were blessed with a 50 minute reading vlog… so sorry that you’re sick through it though! Love u 💙

Thank you for still posting while sick. That's dedication to your channel. I hope you feel better soon. I rarely even get the common cold, so I could not imagine battling covid. 😩😩😩

So sorry you got sick! Hope you are feeling better!! Thanks for the long vlog!! Loved watching it and was happy to see one of your pups make an appearance 😀

I highlyyyy highly recommend the book Mary Jane. It’s fantastic and so funny, I think it came out last summer or the summer before. I remember once I finished it I thought of you immediately and thought you’d love it. Quick read you can get through in a few hours, especially if you’re feeling horrible with Covid!!! Feel better 💕

It couldn't be a better timing to watch this vlog, I got tested positive yesterday, being quite sick to say the least 😂 happy to be able to read even if I rather not being sick Hope you're doing better, thanks for your videos, they are my favorite 🧡😘

13:06 had to just appreciate the amazing frame! really, it looks super cool :D

So sad you’re sick! I hope it doesn’t last two long! Get well soon at your own pace. ❤️‍🩹 💐

Oh no Noelle I hope you feel better soon!!!! (Also v appreciative you got time off work even tho your job is remote. I appreciate that you got that time to recover and rest)

The clips of you eating the pizza was so cute! Hope you’re feeling better Noelle! ❤️

I totally get what you mean about short stories and how they help you shift perspective, you get my next therapy payment because i'd never thought about it out loud like that 👏

noelle. i also caught it. i tested positive on sunday, despite being so careful. i am SO SICK and have read two books. i love your videos and you and i hope you feel better 🫶🫶

I hope you feel better darling. I love your vlogs, all your videos honestly. I make a list of books you've read and recommend and read while I'm having my chemotherapy treatment. I look forward to your videos 🥲🤭💗 can't wait for your next read.

Omg Noelle you being happy and eating pizza and being so cute has filled my cold dead heart with joy 🥰🥰🥰

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I hope you're well soon. Sending lots of love your way💜

the thing you say about anxiet e short story books made me decide to buy my next book a short story. i was debating about but. hope your feeling better!

Glad to see you feeling a bit better by the end ❤️❤️

Im literally going through the same thing right now of having been so careful for 2 and a half years and then letting my guard down and immediately getting sick :( Hope you feel better soon!!

Currently watching this while I’m sick af in bed from Covid after also having gone two and a half years without getting it :’) hope you’re feeling better!

I also tested positive for the first time on Saturday! Hope you’re doing better and taking it easy 💓

I'm so sorry you caught it!! I'm currently down the the sickness too, I'm so glad you mentioned the brain fog, I have been experiencing that too and nobody seems to mention that side effect. It literally makes me feel stupid and I have been forgetting all of the words! I hope you feel better fast!!!

Oh, Noelle! I’m so sorry you got Covid! I got it on Christmas 2021 unfortunately, so I feel your pain. Also, I just bought both of your Ana Luisa pieces and they’re even more stunning in person. 🌊💛

It's weirdly comforting to see that you had Covid at the same time I did :') I tested negative today after a week at home but, in all honesty, isolation was pretty good for me since I only had really mild symptoms and could basically do everything I wanted - but I'm sorry that it's not the same for you :( I hope you're doing better, sending lots of love ♥

OMG Patricia wants to cuddle is SO GOOD. I hope you love it!!!!

I admire you for making and editing a video while ill...I could never I just give up.

What a trooper even vlogging! I hope you get well soon Noelle!! ❤️

Hope you feel better Noelle! Reading is the last thing I want to do when I’m any kind of sick lol. I got covid for the first time during Christmas time this past year. And the fatigue and sleepiness I had was real! 😂

I read memphis on your recommendation and LOVED it! It was heartbreaking but powerful and recommended it to a friend.

I love you so much girl! Feel better soon💐💌🧚🏼‍♀️✨

I hope you feel so much better soon! My whole house caught covid last month we too went so long without getting it. I commend you for reading i was so tired and my body hurt so bad i could not even hold a book! Good on you. Here's to quick healing

Feel better Noelle! Always enjoy your videos 🙌🏼🥰

Okay but the blue sky at @8:00 reminds me of that iconic La La Land scene “A Lovely Night” ♡

Hopefully you feel even better today! I recently bought Patricia Wants to Cuddle and I'm so intrigued, such a fun colorful cover.

It’s so weird and difficult to explain but seeing you and hearing you being sick makes me feel kinda sick lmao and I feel perfectly fine, also how the hell do you manage to be in a happy mood while having a fever, I can’t feel anything other than miserable if I’m like that, you are a unicorn, also I hope you’re better now and I love that this is a long video 🥰

Omg! I’m shocked you were able to read?! I caught it for the first time back in May and I could barely sit up on the couch 😩

Yup, I'm watching old videos because I miss them. Please do a reading vlog 😭 it can be just you reading and sharing pieces of your thoughts. We would all appreciate it. Thank you 💕

Loved this vlog! Hope you’re feeling better now!!

I also got covid recently and it's better to get it now than in 2020 when we didn't had vaccines. take care!!❤️

I got finally got it in early June so I feel you man. Take care of yourself ❣️

Wow. This is super relevant. I did everything like you. After all this time I tested positive yesterday. I been quarantine ever since and the good news is that I have no choice but to read since I can't spend time with my SO or do anything else.

I hope you feel better soon. Get lots of rest and popsicles are the best during this time. ER doctor highly recommended them when my daughter had it. Told me to let her have as many as she wanted.

This couldn’t have been posted at a better time becasue I’m in the same boat, sending sicky hugs haha

I just tested positive too girl! Ugh I’m feeling miserable… thanks for the video to keep me entertained ❤️ hope you feel better soon

Noelle feel better soon! I just got over COVID as well for the first time and had the exact same experience as you, symptoms and everything. Love to see you so patient given the circumstances, I was a whiny little B the whole time xD

Same thing here, I just caught it and I read the entire time. Got groceries and food delivered and made the best of it. I hope you get well soon.

Ugh feel this - currently on day 8 after avoiding it for 2.5 years. You got this!!

I hope you feel better ASAP Noelle. Glad your throat is less sore.

Hope you’re feeling better💕💕🤞🏼

I hope you’re feeling better!! I had it in May and I read like 5 books 🤣

I JUST finished reading Every Summer After 😂 and I agree. The premise is just like Love and Other Words but I actually enjoyed Every Summer After’s take much more.

I have been home with covid this week and I’ve been reading The Best Short Stories of 2021 and it is a great collection, highly recommend!

Oh no, hope you are feeling better, I also got covid after being super cautious and then letting my guard down. I'm on day 3 hope I don't loose my sense of smell or taste buds.

I recommend chloraseptic spray (or Vicks has one too) if you don't have it. It is a throat numbing spray.

I loved the long vlog. I hope you recover quickly.

I know you didn't feel well while filming this video but it was a pleasure to watch so thank you

When I had it in January and lost my taste I was constantly surprised at just how absolute that loss was. Like I couldn’t liken it to anything because even if you say “oh it’s like everything was lint” or sand or whatever, except even that was too much flavor! I’m sorry that you have to deal with that now, I hope you get better soon!

In the week that I had it this past March I sat on my couch and read the entire Off-Campus series basically without moving. It was a terrible week, but also amazing.

Those ice bars are top dog. Best ever!!!!!! 🍊 🧊 all are good

Oh no! Feel better ❤

Ugh damn girl! i havent caught it as of yet as well but I know at some point it will catch me. Take care and rest a lot!! thinking of you!

Parker! Missed seeing his little face in your videos and even his snores in the background ❤️ I totally understand your feelings of getting covid when you thought you were almost invincible for so long after living through a global pandemic. My mum caught it towards the end of March this year and isolated herself from me and my dad so hopefully we wouldn’t catch it but unluckily for me and my Dad we managed to get it just in time for my 32nd birthday after dreaming of a normal birthday for the first time in nearly 3 years. It happens! Also started Middlemarch earlier this week but due to a busy work week won’t get a chance to really get into it until tomorrow 📚
