[@ali_enchanted]

Love how you filmed this video with the voiceover! Super creative and aesthetic ✨

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’m so glad you liked it!!

[@polly2900]

Two Witchy books that came out in October 5 in the US , The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke which is set in Scotland and Cackle by Rachel Harrison

[@KeiraAndGeo]

this was really relaxing to watch! your voice is so soothing

[@robynderrick9164]

I just finished The Near Witch and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to The Nature of Witches. Lots of great recommendations here! 👻🦇☠️

[@holliegrabowski5036]

You might enjoy The Broken Girls by Simone St. James. Paranormal murder mystery with duel timelines and takes place mostly at a 1950's home/school for troubled girls, I don't know that I would classify it as dark academia though. It was really enjoyable for spooky season when I read it!

[@sakurahan91]

A Discovery Of Witches is my favourite book EVER! Please read it soon!!!

[@JanAgaton]

adding Witches of Ash & Ruin and The Wren Hunt on my wishlist!! we own sooo many of the same books 😍

[@princessodyssey]

I adore Micah Nemerever's TVD. So glad to see it on this list!

[@shawnamonroe]

I read Once and Future Witches due to your recommendation - it was fantastic!!! 🍎 🎃 🌙

[@bruty16]

The music kept making me think of the buffy/angel love theme😭😭😭

[@thejulyrose7630]

Interview with a Vampire (the film) is one of my favourites! I have never read the book, I must change that.

[@playsintraffic2]

Need to watch this all again when it’s not my lunchtime viewing at work. What a great list.

[@kikifranklin]

I so so so so appreciate you and this video! Thank you for this video!

[@librocurious]

Definitely saving this video to reference in the future when I need more recommendations.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I really enjoyed the nature of witches 👍🍁 I'm also planning on reading circe in October

[@lavenderrosecosplay5639]

I'm saving this right now so I can go back and make a list. I hope you are doing well, Ashleigh. Thank you for such lovely content

[@thegardenoftere]

the dedication you put into this video to show 100 books and not make it boring or tedious 👏👏 loved the video!

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

The music for this video is perfect. And I am deep into Follow Me To Ground, and I am enjoying it so much. Redder days sounds amazing though and it is definitely on my tbr. The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez is another gothic classic if you are interested, this one involving a black sapphic vampire, and this is a book that I adore. Macbeth would probably also be good to read at this time of year.

[@zoebartalotta]

Love your vibess 🤎🏹

[@debbiethomas2087]

I want a book of the month in the UK, BOOO BOOO BOOO , love your videos

[@OnlyHereToSupport]

[@ReadingNymph]

This was great! Loved seeing all these, House of Hollow was a great spooky book! 👻

[@jenniedamron5912]

Loved this video. Need to read These Violent Delights by Micah.. I can't think of the last name. Looks amazing! 👻

[@sandyokey7728]

I love lists of books, and this is a great one! Thanks, Ashleigh.

[@leeh4343]

Have loads of those stacked on my library TBR - some I’ll be picking up shortly including The Wren Hunt and Follow Me to Ground - thanks for the recs 😊

[@angelaholmes8888]

[@darlenefarley8193]

I read Misery and loved it

[@ashtonalexandra5103]

Is that moon tarot art from Kim olyslager in the background?!?! 😍

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Yep!

[@kirathelightworker]

This video was PERFECTION! You mentioned so many gems ✨ Also- I appreciate you for recommending An Enchantment of Ravens in one of your previous videos! It’s officially one of my favorite books of all time 🥲💚

[@maeashahrahman7812]

Ahh this is perfect! I was just looking for some autumnal & spooky recommendations 🧡

[@demeldapenkitty7937]

Loved this video! Some fabulous books there 👌

[@orionmak3379]

The hollow places is more cosmic horror, think Narnia and Lovecraft together. It is actually an amazing book so I really recommend it.

SUCH an amazing video, with so many great reads for this time of year!

[@hanaalfayez7150]

That was a helpful list thank you Ashleigh 🥰👻💀

[@heatherboo1]

I finished your recommendation Clown in a Cornfield. I can’t believe that’s YA! Nothing like a massacre. 🙄 Good pre Halloween read though.

[@leticiatoraci9855]

🎃 Lots of interesting books!

[@kayw]

Book of month not available in uk????? Why

[@JanAgaton]

ok wait i didn't know Carmilla was sapphic!!

[@AbiofPellinor]

ASHLEY dear god this is amazing hahaha

[@Tinahgirl83]

I don’t do Halloween, but I did screenshot several of the dark academia and gothic novels to check out, as those are right in my comfort zone.

[@Italianamuneca]

Ha I didn't like These Violent Delights, House of Hollow, Clown in a Cornfield, Mexican Gothic, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, Catherine House, or The Year of the Witching. I like your eyeliner!

[@simonerush3211]

For book of the month, if your in the UK do you have to pay extra fees, with the post office etc?

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I mentioned it in the video but sadly they only ship to the US at the moment!

[@simonerush3211]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction ah okay, no worries x

[@kaylarenae8404]

Gutted. Was so excited they started shipping to the UK 😭 I was a BOTM for five years before moving to the UK

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Sorry 😅 hopefully one day!

[@pandoricaofbooks]

The hollow places was one of my last reads, and is high on the list of my favorite reads of 2021, just loved the hole book, is weird, crazy and funny. 100% recommend the reading! Bunny was one of my first readings in english and I read because of your recomendation and just love the crazyness. And finally, I have to say how much I love your style, aesthetic and vibe. I'm trying to find my own and always look to you as a inspiration.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’ve had enchantment of Ravens on my TBR FOREVER and still haven’t read it 😤

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

It’s so fun!

[@scrapbookingmuchmore9884]

How many of those books did you read? 🤡☠️👻🍁🎃

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Oof I don’t know an exact amount right now but I’ve read the majority of them!

What "Eerie earthy reads" even means?

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Weird stories that have a very earthy tone to them (could be set in a forest, or the weird magic stuff is related to the ground/nature etc)

If you end up reading Practical Magic, I'd really be interested what you think of it. I found it incredibly boring, predictable and surprisingly sexist, despite it being written by a woman. Controversial one!

[@Pris247]

I love horror but not Stephen King .
