Patiently waiting for autumn - a cozy autumnal vlog by a homebody who's preparing for fall 🍂 🧺 

Are you excited for autumn? 🍂

Autumn is also my favorite season. Where I live now, summer is very long and it doesn't begin to look and feel like autumn until the first part of October. I look forward to the cooler weather, being able to wear boots and sweaters, and not worrying about making the house too hot if I use the oven.

Hi Kimberly.... Thanks for the video. I struggle with reading, despite my medication. It helps with a lot with a lot of other things, like positive symptoms, but 2 minutes after I start to read I lose concentration, it all becomes a blurr 🙄 I love the warmth of summer and being able to be in nature but i also love the darkness and cosiness of fall and winter, it makes me feel safer and less paranoid... Love the video thank you so much ❤️🤗

Hi kimberly you are a lovely person and i love your channel You don’t have to stress over which book to read Please read whatever you like and don’t read whatever you like. It’s not homework 🥰 you have the right to chose ❤️ May you have a lovely autumn 🍂 full of wonderful books 🥰📚🌻

Im so glad you chose "the secret history". You deserve to feel good and enjoy things. I know it sucks when good things end, but there are so many goodness to come. Thank you for this vlog, it was so lovely and relaxing 🍂🍁🌾

Hi Kimberly, I was away for a couple days at camp with no electronics, I was so happy to see you had a new video put out! Just watched it and it was wonderful :) I am not the best decision maker at times either...hope you enjoy the book you chose to read. You look happier to me, hope you continue to feel like you are on the road to happiness again. I think you should continue to do fall and winter things if that is what makes you happy! Maybe paint a fall picture....I love watching you paint. Have a great week Kimberly :)

Thanks!

Hi Kimberly! I’m from Japan and it’s around 35° with over 75% of humidity every day so it’s not pleasant. So I’m looking forward to Autumn. I have bipolar disorder and it’s been hard to read since I can’t focus much. I love your vlogs! xx

Sending you cozy autumn vibes during this pre-autumn period because I love autumn too! 😊🍂 Your soup looks *delicious*, by the way! :)

Thank you for such a cozy video. I’m feeling a bit autumnal now.

Yeah. Autumn is great and so colorful and crispy. Pumpkin spice cider, an annual trip around the mountain to purchase apples and fresh cider. Dancing along with falling leaves brings joy. Yes,fall is cool and so peaceful. Thank you for being open and sharing your life struggles with schizophrenia. It is educating so many of us. Have a wonderful week.❤

I like to cook for aurtum and winter to of course

I like reading biography

That soup looks delicious 🤤

Elsker høsten ❤️

Where going into spring so enjoying fruits and berries

My mom taught me how to cook at a very young age and I continued learning on my own. It is a very valuable thing.

Hi Kimberly, I just loved this vlog of yours today. (I do love them all but I love and Autumn also and when you cook!). I want to make the pumpkin muffins and soup! I make Olive Oil muffins and my son and grandson love them. They are so easy to make and healthy. You always give me the inspiration that I need. I put The Secret History on my TBR list. And I finally got back to Agnes Grey. Wow what a bunch of horrible children she had to deal with. Im in the middle of it now so I think I will be good to finish it soon. I also loveyour book reviews. I cannot wait for Fall! Hoping we all have a great Autumn, cool and lots of pretty leaves. Hugs to you, from Mary Ann 🤗💚🧡💛❤🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂

Dear Kimberly, this video is so cosy that I almost wish I can teleport myself to autumn 😂 Anyways, since you always recommend good books to us, I just thought of the two books you may like 🙂 The first is Special topics in calamity physics by Marisha Pessl, and the second is The truth about the Harry Quebert affair by Joel Dicker If you find the time, check them out, I hope you would enjoy them😊

Kimberly, I remember last year when you were starting The Secret History, and I wrote to you about how I'd read this 30? years ago (or more?) and how much I loved it as well. And you inspired me to check it out of the library at that time. It is still as exquisite as I remembered it to be! And I'm so glad you are courageously picking it up again. The nice thing about loving a book, even though it ends, is that you can always pick it up and read it again, rather than waiting to putting off enjoying it now. Happy Early Autumn! Always love your videos. k :)

Kimberly you MUST read The Invisible Life of Addie Larou by V.E. Schwab!

I had to laugh when you said in your video that you put off things that you enjoy but you don't know why you do that. I do the same exact thing and I don't know why! 😂

Crime and Punishment is one of my favorites, but is a very heavy (i.e. serious) book as far as the subject matter. Have also read Karamazov and The Idiot as well, both of which are very good.

I’m the same way I’ll start a book and stop reading once I get towards the end 😅 im currently reading so long and thanks for all the fish by Douglas Adams not a fall vibes book but if you want to read a fall vibes book you should try any of Edgar Allen poes stories . Also I like Hannibal’s too 3 season kinda slow but stilll ok

Yes we have football 🏈 to watch in United States

I love your videos. I am from Canada and I have experienced psychosis. What kind of tea are you drinking? Not finished watching the video yet, but I wanted to say that I also want to read Crime and Punishment although it may make the anxiety creep in as this kind of literature does. I think the prose is clear in most English translations. I experience ambivalence also. If you do read it, will you make a video about it? I have read others of Dostoevsky's work such as Notes from Underground (a short work) and another that I don't recall right now. Actually, I think that a single stand alone chapter (called the Grand Inquisitor) from the Karamazov Brothers is available as a book in English. If reading the entire book right now feels daunting, that may be a good place to start. I haven't read it (or maybe I have haha) but it is like a story within the story. I will look into the Japanese book that you mentioned in the beginning as I am drawn to tragic stories and I know loneliness. I think Jane Eyre, also a lonely but headstrong and brilliant heroine, is excellent and worth re-reading because the protagonist is a model for us in redeeming herself through struggle and self-creation despite being fundamentally misunderstood and the story is rich in symbolism. Briefly stated. This Secret History sounds crazy. Why aren't you finishing it? Let us know if you do. I had to laugh when you called yourself an idiot (I don't condone it by the way), but that's another Dostoevsky work to consider. I don't know how people make up their minds on what to read without an imposed structure, or they just follow the path of others who have come before them.

i was considering buying weathering heights last week - bc the cover was so pretty... but then i think: i have peter pan, little women, pride and prejudice, and persuasion at home ALL not finished ... so buying new books is stupid 😄 i WANT to .. but i just cant get my brain to read.

i think u should talk more about your schizofreni ❤
