The Firekeeper’s Daughter is one of my all-time favorite books!! I really want to re-read it now.

[@yvonnecrawford8906]

I love where the crawdads sing.. not quite finished it yet! But its a great commute (read on the train) book... it really stretched my imagination and really want to watch the movie

[@EvieO1950]

Decluttering is never ending but I do enjoy it sometimes. Like now when hubby’s not home and I can spread out and turn on some oldies. Hope HeyHey is better soon and a good nights sleep has you ready to go tomorrow. 🤗

[@Nurse_Kathy]

Oh, poor Hey Hey! Hope she’s better soon!

[@joannenardi4234]

Daily vlogs, chicken impressions and Mia!!! It’s a good day❤😂

[@annef.3387]

The doll in the window is so funny but creepy, when my boys were young we rented a vacation house on Nantucket and there was an upstairs bedroom that was filled with dolls, my oldest son told my youngest that they came alive at night, needless to say nobody slept in that room, and my youngest son was scared all week 😂

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Oh my gosh 😅 Mind you I would have been scared of a room full of dolls anyway!

[@pennyspearing2731]

I think you have inspired me to get on with my decluttering! My nearly 13 year old granddaughter has recently got back into reading and I believe has been reading the Twilight books and enjoying that genre so any recommendations from your daughters would be great. I hope you are feeling ok and I always think a bit of knitting and a comforting hot drink always helps. 😊

[@TheCatlady63]

Take care of yourself, hope you feel better after a good nights sleep xx

[@aliceradwell4194]

I really enjoyed ‘Firekeeper’s Daughter’. It’s very surprising in its depth. Would recommend x

[@cindanordin]

I loved the Tudor Queens series by Alison Weir! I'm reading Innocent Traitor about Lady Jane Gray that she also wrote.

[@heather9328]

You spoil us Ali, daily vlogs AND chicken impressions too 😂!

[@denisediauto9618]

I am not sure how I feel about the doll in the window. At first I thought it was funny, then I thought "Ooh, that is creepy". Productive days are so good, aren't they. I hope you are feeling better.

[@ericallerton809]

❤hope u feel ok,,,Ali!! What a face at the 🪟,,,,oh my,,cover of a creepy 📚 book!!!! 🎉 ELAINE 🏠💗

[@berylwalker79]

That doll? Is very creepy. It’s probably a deterrent for burglars. Think Chuckie. …..or not. 🫣😳. I have a pen/pencil/crayon hoard my youngest of five has just turned 40 so I probably have some rare and valuable stuff in there? I also have a knitting nest (love that😁) like yours. Poor chicken. Hope she gets better soon. Thanks for letting us in your life. I never thought I would be watching someone clear clutter, sort boxes and feed chickens and miss it when you stop!!! 😮😊. Love your chuckle by the way. Do I sound creepy? I’m not, honest. 😬🤔😏😁🌻💐

[@carolinemagruder4276]

Lilia reviewing her books? YES!!! She talked about some books with you a while ago and did such a good job! As for the Crawdads book, as a nature lover and someone who enjoys a good whodunnit, you will love it.

[@melhartley8376]

Very nice vlog. The doll was very scary. You need to put animals or something looking back at the doll.

[@heidikuijer3612]

Okay...the evil doll in the window is truly scary!! I would call a realtor and put my house up for sale if I saw that across the road. 😮 I find dolls scary anyway. Are you sure they are away? 😮😂 Decluttering is a never ending job but I tell my husband it is charity when we bring things to donate. He never wants to part with things. Hope the chicken doesn't end up getting sick again. 🧶

[@sandiking1584]

Today was a beautiful sunny Autumn day, I took a coffee and sat in the sun reading for about 3 hours...bliss x

[@SangoKSJ]

That doll at the window creepiest thing 😰 hope Heyhey will be fine soon ❤

[@kykynestyf7742]

We were away first half of April, and i just cought up on watching your vlogs. I love it when you post everyday. It must be a lot of work, but thank you for doing it. Happy belated birthday to you and Lilia 🎉

[@thelimeysretreat4976]

Get well soon Heyhey! ❤

[@sansarya]

So happy you saved "The Firekeeper's Daughter" to read. It is a fantastic book, I read it in two sittings. Sad about the disposal of BTS stickers.😢 ARMY hearts are crying. 😢

[@ajdarling4776]

Yes crushed about the BTS stickers. And added “The Firekeepers Daughter” to my reading list

[@virgenetyrrell2434]

I just want you to know how much I enjoy your vlogs. On this one, your reorganizing the “stuff” which has inspired me. I am currently cleaning out one drawer or shelf or closet every day. (I suppose then I’ll just have to start all over again 😂) Thank you for doing these. I look forward to them, though I’m Very much behind in watching my (too many) podcasts. (It’s now June in St. Louis, well it’s June everywhere 😂) Just thank you, they’re so well done.

[@McBranagall]

Firekeeper’s Daughter is so good! It’s especially good on audio! Highly recommend!

[@StarrFyrestick]

I highly recommend Firekeeper's Daughter. I listened to it and loved it. Where the Crawdads Sing had me nearly sobbing in the break room at work. It's definitely worth a read.

[@sharonbeavis4448]

It’s my birthday today and I treated myself to the box set of the Tudor queens , Thankyou for the recommendation I’m excited to start reading them …. That doll in the window is scary , dolls like that freak me out …

[@LDuxon]

I just took a look at the Mix & Match crochet book, it looks really good and possibly a great way of using my mountain of leftovers. On my list I think 😊

[@manonborst4769]

I really enjoy your vlogs. Thank you for making them and sharing about your day and your family. That doll in the window would scare me too.

[@SusanDuffield-t1y]

Visable mend Lillia jersey with a darker brown paw print or similar with crochet circles?

[@alliehabib1654]

I just finished the crawdads book and loved it, you will too I am sure 👍🏻

[@Battesbooksandhooks]

I would guess Hey Hey is just broody

[@izzynaylor9047]

i have thats blanket book its great

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

That doll is terrifying but just hope it doesn’t move before they get home…! 👀

[@stitchitch7010]

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps the doll was in the house first...

[@Barneysma]

Are you sure it’s a doll? 😂😂😂xx

[@lindasg99]

❤

[@lisaporch8922]

That doll 😳

[@clairecooper6417]

Oh Ali please read Where the Crawdads sing. I loved it and the film! X

[@teres469]

Me too, was amazing!!!

[@lindaphelan7611]

Totally agree!!!! It was an amazing read!! and film

[@tybash1]

Loved the movie and the book too!

[@cindanordin]

Agree!!

[@tanyawillisanderson]

I loved CRAWDADS ... 5 star read for me but I can see how it might now grab you although since you love nature, I think you might like that bit of it. It's also a mystery within. Happy weekend!

[@jillbeck6531]

At one point I read all of Agatha Christie's books and loved them. Sadly, I gave them all away during one of our moves. I may have to see if my library has some and give them another read. I'm listening to Katherine on Aragon and really liking it, looking forward to Anne Boleyn! Hope you and Hay Hay feel better soon.

[@sandiking1584]

I also had all her books and gave them away....what was I thinking....I also had all the 'Miss Read' books and did the same. I have slowly replaced the Miss Read books and will not be giving them away.

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Thank you for keeping me company whilst I mark assessments today ☺️💛

[@JenniferJones-zt3mp]

You can recycle pens at Rymans.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

I used to but my local one took away their pen recycling bin :( I might check in case they have reinstated it

[@AnnieDaddo]

Morning Ali👋You and Mrs D could start a new trend in your streets by putting creepy dolls in your front windows..she could put her doll Pauline and you,the possessed owl😉Love you 80 day/2 min rule.Arent we funny creatures putting off a simple job! Hope your chook feels better soon.Happy weekend to you all.Take care.🙏🐨♥️🌏xx

[@kimfalloni4860]

I love your daily vlogs...question about the doll in the window...did it appear after they left or did you just notice it now? I know they have a baby but do they also have a small child?...so many questions😂 What about visible mending for Lilia's sweater...maybe weaving or embroidery....thank you again for these vlogs I just love seeing your daily life and all your little adventures. Hope Hey Hey feels better soon❤❤❤❤

[@heathertucker7056]

That looked a bit spooky across the road! I like a bit of de-cluttering personally! I find it very therapeutic to have a good tidy out now and again! It’s clothes I have a problem with! Hope the chicken is OK now x

[@kerriebullock7027]

Hi Ali, I’m in NZ and our Spotify premium has just got audiobooks, loads new releases too, so not sure if all countries Spotify’s are the same. Loving April blogs 😊

[@suecoles7824]

Well done Ali, job well done in the sorting, decluttering, it ok when you start, but getting started 🤨🤔 that’s another thing. I haven’t been well most of the winter, so my mojo has up and left, hope it returns soon with the longer days so I can get started again! The doll, “you are being watched” 😂 I hope you feel ing better, sending a comforting hug 🤗 Oh gawd the mending box, or pile as mine is, I get around to biting the bullet one evening and clear the lot, only to stat the pile again 😅 love & Hugs Suze. 🥰 xxx

[@Making_Through_the_Seasons]

I’ve read two Colleen Hoover books and they were both amazing. I didn’t like the sound of the books based on the cover summary however I decided to read the first chapter and I was hooked. I read each one in under 3 days which for me is so quick. I now always buy her books when I find them second hand.

[@carolynfowler3133]

I think a work man must have been having fun with your neighbours dolls. 😂 I relate to the mending box, but my family has given up on me. I sew a fair bit, but I don’t mend. Song today, a great Canadian and a favourite of my husband’s. Gordon Lightfoot’s The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald.

[@suedale1865]

I think you could easily be on Sort your life out with Stacey 🤣😂 You give me a guilt trip of decluttering I get recommended Where the crawdads sing & like you it just doesn’t grab my interest ( maybe one day on Audible ) See you tomorrow 🫂

[@amnie5456]

Hello Ali I enjoyed reading Crawdads and I’m going to watch the film on Netflix Canada. Hope you feel better soon!🤲🏼💐☕️

[@elaineheisler8584]

Ins e some of those pencils also. Saving but my daughters has their own apartment and they don’t need them any more. Will take to the thrift store. They take them.

[@teresaharp]

Ali, send me some of your 'clear out' mojo please😂. Yes, seeing that doll on the window would have freaked me out too! Hope you have a great weekend❤

[@antigone3567]

Decluttering books and stationery content for the win, Ali 🙂

[@tanyamcculloch7103]

That was a really enjoyable vlog , especially love the book segment . Thank you very much xx

[@nicolacsukas5127]

Essex Serpent and Crawdads are beautiful books 😊

[@sewmom17]

That doll . . . I love making a knitting nest for an afternoon of knitting (or crochet)!

[@RoseLafreniere]

Won't be a invisible mend , but there is a video on repairing the sweater

[@audreyrobinson4395]

Hope you feel better very soon , love your little drops of wonderful mug. Take care ❤

[@mandymaxwell3249]

❤

[@mysonruns]

Love the Danmark mug!

[@janecopeland2306]

After a concerted effort over the past 7+ years (and a stringent no-buy rule), I finally have my pen stash down to one mug full. I love nothing more that finishing a pen! Love your daily vlogs!

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

This sounds so satisfying! I now have our pens down to 2 mugs and one rather large pencil case :) I won't need to buy writing pens for years, possibly ever! 😅

[@cecilehoare3053]

I'm with you on the not fancying Where the Crawdads Sing. I love to read but this one I've got stuck in it and can't seem to move on. Not sure why...Lylia seems to be the type of person that would enjoy visible mending, lots of ideas on Pinterest!

[@carolinemagruder4276]

I’m an avid reader and this happens to me sometimes, even when people rave about a book. For me, it’s where I’m at personally or the time of year, but then I pick it up again later and zip right through! So try again when you’re ready and see if it grabs you. It is so beautifully written 😊

[@kozymom1528]

Could Lilia please explain what she does when she annotates a book?

[@Geeguess]

The doll in the window is both funny and creepy at the same time. You have inspired me to make chickens and take walks, now to catch the bug to clear out some closets!

[@janicemcculloch654]

Love your "knitting nest"😂 I have one of those too on the centre of the sofa 😂

[@sallyclark6142]

That doll 😳 Is it still there? I think it would be worrying if it wasn’t considering they are away 🫣😮. Crawdads is a must read! Have you ever done a vlog showing us which KZbinrs you watch (especially the crocheters 😏)?
