Reality In My Mind

Hi, I'm Andrea! (a.k.a. booksandbrew) I'm a nerd about books/movies/TV, writing, music, traveling, and languages. A cup of coffee is the way to my heart. Here you'll find a collection of YouTube videos, Instagram pictures, Q&A responses, and miscellaneous other nerdy things. Check out the links below for more from me on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. Talk to you soon!

He has me wrapped around his little paw already 🖤

Meet Hamlet 😻 It’s been a tough first day for him in his new home, but he’s finally feeling curious enough to start exploring — and he’s spent most of the afternoon glued to my side 💜

“At home, it’s the cat who calls the shots.” 😺 This is about to become all too true chez moi... Tomorrow is the day!

Once a crazy animal person, ALWAYS a crazy animal person 🙊 I happened upon a gold mine of my old favorite DS games at my parents’ house, so I’m now spending my entire layover playing them all... 👧

‪Last night my channel hit 25k subscribers, and today officially marks 5 YEARS since I created my account and posted my first video... I can’t believe it! 😱🤩‬ ‪So thankful for all the years of fun creation and experimentation, and for all of the wonderful friends I’ve made 💜‬

All super exhausted and sleepy, but we had to get one last picture together before I head back to Paris. I’m going to miss you so much! 💜 #sisters

What a wonderful holiday this has been 🎄 I’m so happy I could spend these few weeks back in the US. I did a bit of traveling, ate delicious food pretty much nonstop, and got to spend almost all my time with family and friends. I’m headed back home to Paris tomorrow, but I already can’t wait until next time! 💜

2017 was full of so many fun adventures and surprises. I can’t wait to see what 2018 will bring! 💫

Happy New Year!!! 🥂

The [slightly out-of-practice] string quartet back together 🎶 I’ve missed these girls so much!

This is a subject I’ve thought about a lot over my [nearly 5!] years on YouTube, so I thought I’d open up and share my thoughts with you on how I deal with "mean comments" and online hate.
