Love your vlogs Ali, we put second hand books in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for 24 hours, in case there are any bugs!

[@heathertucker7056]

Always wipe down my books too Ali with a sanitized wet wipe! Some are really dusty where they’ve been stored I guess! Looking forward to the garden makeover vlog now x

[@PawfectPastimesAmo]

I love listening to sea sounds to zone out. Sometimes a big thunderstorm but mostly sea shore and waves. They certainly work!

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Ooooh yes, the sound of the sea is so calming 🌊

[@thelimeysretreat4976]

There are no calories in books so you can never have too many 😂😂 xx

[@sharonf8188]

Thank you so much for April vlogs! They are a bright spot in my day. Life has been super stressful lately and your vlogs are like visiting with a sweet friend. Dan and your girls are great sports to let us tag along with your April days!

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Aw thank you Sharon! Sorry to hear things are stressful though xx

[@tinaadamson7434]

Frequent watcher but rare commenter but just wanted to say thank you for the vlogs. I have very much enjoyed watching your April x

[@traceyaustin9254]

Hi Ali thank you for your April vlogs and all the hard work you put in to them. I wanted to recommend another booktuber if you haven't already found her. Miranda Mills. She lives with her mum in Yorkshire and what lovely people they are. Her videos are relaxing and gentle and she has a great relationship with her mum. They are very interesting people, both avid readers and just a joy to watch. Take care x

❤Happy weekend, looking forward to the garden vlog

[@Sharon_L]

I start my days in April with a cup of tea, and your new vlog. What will I do with myself in May lol? Thank you for making me feel more normal about my noise anxieties. I live in a terribly noisy, overcrowded street in Australia and it really stresses me out. The worst of it is that last year a group of 5 plovers (protected native birds) moved into my street and they make noise all day and throughout the night calling to each other. They wake me up multiple times a night, and it’s really starting to impact on my health. Google the sounds they make and you’ll understand my problem. They’re officially called Masked Lapwings and they are the bane of my existence.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Goodness that sounds tough to live with, that sound (I googled it!) is grating! Hope you have some decent earplugs. I can really recommend deep brown sound, you can find it on KZbin, it's a great noise canceller xx

[@Sharon_L]

@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife Thank you Ali, I looked it up and will give it a try x

[@suecoles7824]

Ooooooh looking forward to seeing your garden planting Ali, have not managed anything much at all in the garden, it just will not stop raining! ☹️ I feel we have missed spring ☹️ just as well you’ve been here with your springy self 😊🌼 see you tomorrow, Love & Hugs, Suze 🤗🌼🥰🌼 xxx

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Thanks Suze! Hope you enjoy, I bought quite a few new plants (spoiler alert: I haven't killed a single one so far! Amazing!) 🌱

[@julierogers1155]

Lillia is correct. The movie, 'Poor Things', received 11 Oscar* nominations and won four awards. *the Oscars, or Academy Awards, are (American) awards for artistic and technical merit for the film industry.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Thanks Julie! 4 Oscars! That's amazing. The book certainly looks very intriguing! x

[@wendyluvsbooks6537]

In bed after work relaxing with my book and reading before sleep I have a fire in a fireplace crackling 🔥 very relaxing while reading especially since we are in the beautiful autumn season here 🍁🍂🍁… love it ….📚🍂📚

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Ohh that sounds just lovely! 🔥

[@wendyluvsbooks6537]

@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife that should have said I have a fire in a fireplace on my I pad lol 😂 I mean I wish I had a real fire but a I pad will have to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@marcellablackwell8531]

Interested to know how you go about sanitizing your thrift store books. I understand your anxiety with summer. Too hot, bright and noisy. I listen to bird song and reading to help with sleep. Cheers to you with a glass of Prosecco.😘😘🇨🇦

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Cheers! 🥂 I just spray them with anti-bac, wipe them over, dry and then spray lightly with the leave-on dettol spray :) xx

[@carolynfowler3133]

😂 we had pizza tonight . I offered to put zucchini (courgette) on it and my husband was completely opposed. Well, one more Canadian musician to mention for song of the day as she really was phenomenal. Hallelujah sung by KD Lang.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Great song!! And I am all for courgette on pizza 😋

[@hannahkay1913]

Hope you don't mind a silly question, but is your house warm, do you have your heating on quite a lot. I ask this because I'm always freezing in my house and have to have lots of layers on. I'm very jealous of you in your tee shirts and pyjamas. Also, I guess you are not missing your troublesome fringe, your hair looks so nice now, and suits you xx

[@fionalavender8660]

Hi Ali looking forward to seeing your garden vlog, I am in the middle of a garden job after a new fence went up this week after the winter storms. I am also planting some new plants weather permitting ☹️ 🌱 I have enjoyed all the April vlogs so great that you share a whole month of your family life with us. You are so talented with all the hobbies and interest’s. Have a great weekend 😊 ❤️ 🦔

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Thanks Fiona! I did just the same after we replaced fences that were blown down, I will show that on the day 28 vlog if I remember! :) xx

[@nolamisskel]

Please let us know about Poor Thjngs. I’m curious about it and I love Emma Stone.

[@suedale1865]

I listen to waves on a shingle beach ❤️ also lark ascending Ralph Vaughn Williams my go to for relaxing Journey to work was quiet on the roads ( mystery ) 😂🤣 Look forward to garden vlog 👍

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

I have just popper on Lark Ascending now, what a beautifully calming piece of music, thank you! x

[@mrscraftalot]

I am excited to see your garden vlogs. I am embarking on a major garden renovation project this summer. I’ve never used ambient noise before. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Hope you enjoy! I decided to focus on tidying flowerbeds etc this year. Still got more to do so there will be more on that in May! 🌸🌼🌱

[@pattyomalley833]

I haven't read the book "Poor Things" but have seen the movie which I found quite disturbing and upsetting. Hope the book is less so.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

I don't think I want to see the movie 🫣 But the book looks intriguing! x

[@jeanettegillings7202]

I love following your journey to work…it’s so beautiful. Regarding your question on “where’s the traffic” I was in a taxi the other day and the driver told me Fridays were very quiet days traffic wise because a lot of people work from home…. So that their weekend starts sooner! I admit, I WFH Fridays but then I catch public transport …. Boring scenery…. Just suburbs…. I’d rather have your views. Take care ❤❤❤

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Thanks Jeanette ❤️ I was thinking that might be the case, WFH Fridays, which works out well for me in my car on Fridays :) It took me half the time to get in, lovely!

[@CW-xy2qn]

Would absoloutely love to see how you clean your charity shop books if you get the time! I give mine a quick once over with Dettol spray but never feel like it does enough 😂

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

That's what I do too! A wipe with anti-bac and then a spray with the leave-on detail spray. Then onto the bookshelf :)

[@marilynfenton8763]

I'm excited to try the library noises when I'm working on Monday. I find music too distracting so often bring up the 8 hour long videos of birds in woods, which is meant for cats. This will be a nice change. Thanks.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

I might look up the birds in woods for Mia when she is here visiting! Hope you enjoy the library background on Monday xx

[@shelleygilbertson121]

Hope you’re up for a spicy read. If the book is as the movie was 😮. I loved the premise of the story, but personally I wish it would have explored some other themes instead of focusing on what it did.

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

I don't thing I want to see the film but the books looks interesting! I shall keep you updated :)

[@gordonbrowne8068]

Message from Sharon. Totally unrelated to today's vlog. What yarn do you use for the Mabel Chicken pattern? I downloaded it to try ❤

[@ThisLittleWonderfulLife]

Hi Sharon! I used Bernat Blanket yarn 🧶 xx
