[vlog.027] basically a book haul, YALC, fab reads 🤭🧚🏻‍♀️

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I love it when authors are fun. I totally understand about having a better time working an event rather than showing up and wondering aimlessly. I learned the hard way, get to the dentist asap. Im now dealing with blowing off dental care/costs for 3 years now. 😔 I hope you're feeling better soon. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, and neuropathy from a lot of chemo. ✨🕯 ✨

[@d.edwardmeade3683]

🕯❤ 🕯... I think these trips you plan are absolutely fantastic!! Your excitement is infectious 😁😁... not to mention I get to see a cool "Ashleigh Traveling Vlog" in the future 😃👍💕 Here's to an enjoyable holiday season, my friend, and hopes that your recovery was speedy and you are doing well at the time you're reading this!! Thank you for another enjoyable vlog!! Cheers! 🥰❤❤ ..

🕯 Thank you for creating this vlog for us no matter what❤I hope you're already feeling better 💗 I lived in Budapest for almost 3 years, and it's absolutely charming, with no-like-any-other city atmosphere and vibe. It's gonna be a great trip! Yes, I manifest - for all the wonderful people who want and will frolic with you - the trip is going to happen!✨️

[@moviegirlkatie]

Well I am booked, did it a couple days ago. I am jazzed!!! Prague is my number 1 bucket list! I am excited to meet you.

[@kourtneyD84]

🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯loved iron flame but wished there was more friendships like liam from the first one. Other than that is was a 4 star book for me.

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

YALC looks like so much fun, I wanna go to a book convention so badly!!! I've had Blood & Moonlight on my owned tbr for way too long!!! Oh my gosh I adore Bratislava, Budapest, and Prague - I got to go last fall and it was so amazing!!! I love group travel trips, I've always gone through EF which is an education based tour company out of the USA! 🕯 🕯 🕯

[@blueorix]

I loved Blood and Moonlight! Such a fun genre blend of murder mystery and historical fantasy ^-^

[@stephaniehorler1086]

Was so lovely to meet you at Yalc made my weekend ❤ xx

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

You too! This is so sweet 🥹🫶🏻

[@MilenaReads]

I definitely think A River Enchanted will be your thing. It had a Juliet Marillier feel for me.

[@demeldapenkitty7937]

Sounds like a great fun time at Yalc 🕯 🕯 🕯

[@anikamercier2651]

I hope you’re feeling better!! 🕯️

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you!!

[@wendypridmore2005]

I have read Pestilence and am currently reading War and I love both of them.

[@anautisticreader2963]

Read Pestilence last month and really enjoyed it. 🕯️

[@andra7481]

it's been so lovely to meet you at YALC 🥺💜 the clips of the stalls and comic con with calm music in the background feel so weird together 😂 i wish it was as chill as that irl haha

[@readingwithshan]

I loved meeting you! You were so friendly and I loved dressing up as a fairy! 🥰♥️

[@Liamcb93]

🕯️ Great to see you as always 😊

[@Emiliemooles]

YALC sounds like so much fun! Ahhh I’m so excited for you to have another trip! I’m really thinking about joining. Yesssss to the readalong. That’s been a series I’ve been meaning to re-read! I finished Fourth Wing recently (which was well-timed) and now I can’t decide whether to wait for the paperback or just bite the bullet and find out what happens next. But then I’d have a longer wait for the third book. Ahhh! Safe to say I enjoyed Fourth Wing. It’s interesting hearing your thoughts on Iron Flame and I love how much you’ve been fangirling over it. Hope you feel better soon lovely! 💙🕯️🩵

[@suvideiann9227]

🕯️🕯️🕯️ I'm currently reading Iron Flame, about half way through, enjoying it immensely at the moment! 😍 Feel better soon! 🫶🏻

[@kimbberghuis4307]

Oh I loved Bitterthorn 🥰 I hope you like it as well!

[@bethmw28]

Daughter of Smoke and Bone is the whole reason I went to Prague!! I read to maybe page 3 before I had to book a weekend trip there and I have zero regrets

[@percydoeseverything]

Can’t hate free books. Just say thank you and runaway quickly in case they change their minds 😂😂

[@gmkr392]

Was fab to meet you at yalc!!! Was a highlight of my weekend!

[@MichelleReadsandVlogs]

🕯 Hope you start to feel better soon lovely 🕯 (Iron Flame felt like two separate books! It was sooooo long)

[@kristymayhew-contente8917]

❤❤❤

[@RandiLynnK]

🕯I loved The Bargainer series and I've had my eye on the horsemen series so I would love to hear your thoughts! Thalassa also has a witchy book I'm interested in as well.

[@msellenandrea]

Your next trip sounds amaaazing! I've been to Prague twice and it's such a magical place :D I can't join, but I really do hope it happens!

The things I’d do for one of the fairyloot divine rivals edition 😫

[@kathrynsreadingnook]

it was such a fun weekend! I’m sure when I left on Sunday lunchtime you’d only bought two books 😂 oh how it escalated haha!

[@Lillyjoy]

I felt similarly about Iron Flame! The repetitiveness annoyed me. I really liked the first half but not the second half 😭 I gave it 3.5 ⭐️. I love the characters so much though and just want to see them happy and well, and now I want to read a happy book so if you have any recs please tell me ❤

[@Books_Anime_92]

Now, I want to read The Cloisters.

So what series are you goiing to be reading on your trip? The transcription doesn't print out a recognizable title that can be looked up on Amazon.

Commenting before I forget - get some clove oil for your tooth! Sorts the pain out better than codeine etc believe it or not, doesn't taste great though :')

Where can i find that Folks of folklore graphic novel? Need!

[@rylie2403]

Yeah I can’t find it anywhere, I’m so sad lol

[@rylie2403]

Update I found the author on instagram under her name, it sounds like she’s opening an Etsy shop soon. So we’ll just have to be patient lol

[@katiemaki5740]

@rylie2403 oh! Nice! Let me know!

[@katiemaki5740]

What's the authors name?

[@muchazachejova]

Hi Ashleigh! I just saw your last vlog and found out that you are coming to Slovakia. ☺️ I wanted to ask if it would be possible to meet you even if I was not directly part of the trip. I'm from Slovakia and the trip is too expensive for me, anyway I'd like to meet you at least for a while if possible 🥰

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Helloooo! 🥰 I’m unsure as it sounds like a pretty jam packed itinerary, I’d need to look closer to the time once timings are confirmed! 🫶🏻

[@muchazachejova]

Thank you for responding 😊 I understand, I'll try to catch you closer to date 😊

Re: The Cloitsers Specially if I like books like what? I've been tryong to descipher what you're saying to no avail skdjfhsdjkds what book are you talking about?? I loved the cloisters so i wanna know help 😭😭

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I can’t remember specifically what I said without watching it back but if it was the comparison to another book, Tiepolo Blue!

[@UneArtiviste]

Hi. It's me again... Leaving you a lot of comments lately. Today my mom lost her dog. She fell back into depression (she was for ten years when I was just fourteen and I saved her life and I carried her on my shoulders and then I spent fifteen years in therapy learning how to take care of myself and I still can't do it because of my mental illness (the reason I live with her, also the reason I fell into a coma and hung myself because she blackmailed me). And today she said she was too tired and I had to do everything for her. Including taking care of her dog. Because I have BPD, it brings back the trauma of losing my dog exactly a year ago. And the trauma of having to take care of a woman who forgot how to be a mother. I wanted to say all that because I don't really have anyone to tell it to. And I guess I just wanted a little something, a little encouragement, a little you're not alone. Thank you always for being you. You are my favorite youtuber and this vlog is the sunshine of my day. Loads of love 💕

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Oh my love, I’m so sorry you’ve experienced all this 😔 life can be cruel but I hope you can at least find little pockets of joy in your days, however small it may be. Sending you so much love 🤎

[@UneArtiviste]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction I'm high potential. That means I can't lie. So just know that you, you are my pocket of joy. Don't ever forget the positive impact you have on so many people.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

@@UneArtiviste needed this more than you know today, so please know it goes both ways 🫶🏻

Clostiers was 👌🏻, 4/5 and I agree there was something missing to make it a 5/5, but I loved it nonetheless. I am reading Babel now after seeing your video on it and am really enjoying it. 🤍🌙
