hella long Carley video? and it’s book content? she also read 69 books?! we win.

Carley is the only one who posts a 2023 reading wrap up in the second week of 2024 because it's fashionably late? 😂 love your videos as always

always thankful for a carley book moment but glad you're drawing some healthy boundaries to keep your love of reading :''''')

“Great gowns, beautiful gowns” as a category is already one of the highlights of 2024 for me

Carley effectively criticizing "Letters to a young poet" for being too male-centric leading directly into the section titled "sorry to this man" was not lost on me.

we should so normalize reading multiple books at the same time

My favorite girlboss talking about my favorite things: books. We WON TODAY

i miss your book content so much!! this is a TREAT

Omigosh I’m so hyped for the next season of the pod. A few years ago, I fell down a rabbit hole researching the Salem witch trials and I’m so ready to get back to that space mentally.

As someone who discovered your channel from your book videos, this is an hour and a half long treat for me 🌟

I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH! I never lost hope for a book vid from Carley again, thank you girlboss queen♥I'm crying so hard

the moment the "her?" pictured faded in i cannot tell you how viscerally, how animated, how fully-bodily i CACKLED. the comedic creativity is unparalleled!!

I really appreciate that you read books that I’ve never ever heard of because I’m a bit tired of seeing the same books on every booktubers wrap ups. AND all of these books that you read are so smart and intelligent and cool, I wish my brain could handle books like this

oh the way you talk about books scratches such a specific itch. I love it. I miss your bookish content but also respect your journey to read more intentionally. thank you for sharing🫶📚✨

"No you smoke crack, SORRY!!" You're so hilarious, your personality makes watching a 1 and half hr video feel like 30 minutes

a book wrap-up from Carley is exactly what i needed right now
