[@kateadale7100]

Frankenstein is such a great book. Really enjoyed it. 🖤🖤🖤

[@sarahsperusals]

mysteries of udolpho was so dramatic. i was quite entertained LOL

[@rainbowbookishowl8681]

Beauty is all over!!!! 🦇🖤🦇

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

Shoutout to Gavin for sacrificing his discount that's real friendship right there lol. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Nettle & Bone and the UK edition is SO PRETTY!!!

[@lisaf158]

Wonderful haul! Enjoy🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@Browndrea]

Been on a religious book binge lately because I’ve been wanting to read more translated work, so I’ve been dipping into Shusaku Endo books.

[@amandablount6030]

The Library at Mount Char is amazing. It's one of those books that I cannot get out of my head. I've never read anything like it. Adding The Lessons to my list. I'd not heard of it until you mentioned it in this video.

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

There is nothing better than a half price book- awesome haul Ashleigh. I hope you enjoy all the books. The library at Mount char sounds so good- I'll definetely be getting it on my kindle. 🖤

[@DarkAngelic17]

JUST finished Nettle and Bone. Was my first TKingfisher book and was NOT what I expected. Darker than anticipated but i enjoyed the humor when things really kicked off.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo loving the cover the bewitching

[@harrietsbookcorner]

Such an inspiring haul, made me feel very ready for Autumn reading! 🍂

[@wendypridmore2005]

The last book that I bought was Cobolt Blue by Matthew Reilley. He is a great Australian Author.

[@annsreallife]

Been in a slump. Trying to read empire of the vampire but letting that go for the moment. Just got Babel in the mail! Ordered that one after watching one of your vids! I think I’m gonna mood read some dark academia and spooky books for a while. 🖤🦇🖤

[@cupofteastudio]

Keep making such videos!!

[@socialbianca]

I've been in the mood for witchy books and would love a dedicated blog 🖤

[@ThatSpoonieTransGuy]

I really enjoyed Nettle and Bone! I just got three Dutch indie books from a fantasy festival. It's technically a music festival, but it's so much more than that. Lots and lots of nerd stuff, including an authors market, so all three are signed. I usually I don't read much in Dutch, because I don't like reading translated from English (from languages I don't speak is fine) and I've never been able to find anyway where you can filter on that, so it was great to be able to buy directly from the authors. I have no idea if they've been translated though, so I don't know if recommending them is much use hahaha. And I also got a huge skin of leather, and I already had bookbinding glue, so I can't wait to give that a try as well.

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

Love gothic 🧛‍♂️ love witchy tales 🧙‍♀️oh and love your earrings 👍

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you so much!!

[@sabrinaburton9057]

Last book I ordered was What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

[@kithadfield3732]

My last book order was a pre-order (Nona the Ninth) which I am so so excited to read. Thinking of ordering the second volume of Lore too but I should read my library books before I buy anything new xD

[@Italianamuneca]

🦇The last two books I just bought are: Queen Takes King (Their Vampire Queen) book 1, and Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen) book 2 by Joely Sue Burkhart! I didn't like What moves the dead or I Hear the Sunspot book 1.

[@celina6259]

🦇🖤 I can’t wait for autumn and all the witchy content

[@lisa_unabridged]

PLEASE look up trigger warnings for Library at Mount Char! It's one of my favorite books but it is very strange and I wasn't expecting the triggers when I went in

[@sakurahan91]

I like gothic romance. I’m currently rereading ACOMAF and I’m loving it!!!!!!

[@autumnbehon942]

I wanted to read "Shiver" but when you held up the book, I noticed the holes on the front and I have severe trypophobia and now I'm definitely reconsidering it 😂 I like horror mangas, but that messes with me a little too much...

[@welshreader]

Love a book haul! Nettle and Bone sounds so good👀

[@welshreader]

Oh wow those classics are stunning🦇

[@AbiofPellinor]

I'm loving this mix of modern and classics!

[@ellie-elles.bookshelf]

Soo many books! I think I’ll be adding some of these to my TBR too 😍

[@demeldapenkitty7937]

Some amazing choices there! 🖤

[@blissmore00]

Savage Lands is so good

[@grshjelm1984]

🦇 Thank you for the video! Definitely some there I'm interested in, and that gorgeous edition of Lovecraft! Stunning!

[@ayantikasen3490]

So excited for nettle and bone. I just finished Frakenstein and I absolutely, devastatingly love it.🦇🖤

[@yomu_jikan]

Those braids are super cute🤩🤩🤩 And overall look is soooo medieval vibes❤️

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@delatoba]

One of my favourite books this year is Nettle & Bone!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’m so intrigued, it’s getting rave reviews!

[@ametrinemoon]

The anatomy book sounds a lot like A Girl in His Shadow by Audrey Blake which was set in London. It is a superb read and it mirrors the storyline somewhat.

[@210Lancefan]

I loved anatomy!!, such a good read. I traveled to Edinburgh a long time ago and it was so wonderful to be back there through the pages.

[@michelle.planteachread.413]

I'm currently reading When Other People Saw Us, They Saw the Dead.....a BIPOC Gothic Anthology....am about 20% in and love it. I agree there's something special about gothic tales.

[@lizzieslittlebooknook]

What a great haul, love a good gothic book and I really enjoyed Anatomy I hope you do too. I've been reading a lot of fantasy recently 🖤

[@jasmin5246]

Loved this! Btw, The Italian is the best Ann Radcliffe ;)

[@GemReadsALot]

I really want to get my hands on the bewitching, it looks and sounds amazing 😍

[@sandyokey7728]

The Lovecraft book is gorgeous! I’m adding The Lessons to my wish list. 🦇🖤🦇🖤

[@FaeryLaume]

I can't stop recommending Nettle & Bone, loved it. Also, spooky season is all about gothic reads for me. I can't wait!

[@genregarden]

🦇🖤 currently reading Daisy Haites and loving it, but you're making me want to pick up something gothic!

[@TheBookishMom]

Nettle and Bone is one I have been wanting to pick up too. Everyone seems to love it, and Elliot really makes me want to read it!

[@SR-vo6ls]

You will have to be very kind with The mysteries of Udolfo, it's well written in a classic style but I don't see it much like your taste in book. And beautiful Frankenstein edition.💜💙

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

We shall see! I really liked her other books I’ve read and have read a lot of gothic classics, just not recently :)

[@jordanmoore8210]

The Mysteries of Udolpho is one of my favorite Gothic!! I am getting my masters in English with a specialization in Gothic and out of the many books it was my favorite!! I hope you enjoy it!!

[@toniag7928]

Hi! I’m going to be starting my English masters (with a focus on Victorian lit) in September, so I was just wondering how you are finding it so far? Hope it’s going well! 😊

[@jordanmoore8210]

@@toniag7928 I’m actually liking it a lot more than when I was getting my BA. I’m in a fast track program so I take a different class every month and it’s really fast but helps to get through materials. It’s a lot of work but I’ve learned so much over the last 8 months about Literature. Good luck to you!! Sounds like such an interesting specialization.

[@toniag7928]

@@jordanmoore8210 Thanks for letting me know! It’s great to hear you liked it better than the BA. Best of luck with the rest of your Masters!

[@Lavender_Rah]

🪦 I picked up a new author (for me) at my library this week: Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom. It’s classified a as horror/fantasy and historical adult fiction. 🦇

[@cristianamarques99]

Also, your videos always make me happier! I'm having a crappy week, been sick and my mental health has been 👎 of late, so... Thanks for bringing so much light to our lives 🌻🌻

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Aw bless you! I hope you feel better soon 🖤

[@kathleenbaker2791]

The last book I ordered was Tiepolo Blue, based on your recommendation! Excited for it to arrive. Have an amazing weekend, loved seeing the haul.

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great haul 😎💯😎☕📚

[@sanitycalamity]

The last book I read was Nettle and Bone and it was great. I have you to thank for that as I discovered T Kingfisher from your recommendation of The Raven and the Reindeer (which I also really loved!) 🖤

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Aw I’m so glad to hear that!

[@ReadingNymph]

I just started Nettle and Bone today and the atmosphere already is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 would love a witchy reading vlog! I want to read Mysteries of Uldolpho 🦇🖤

[@lost_in_the_pines]

Last book I bought was The Dance Tree by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. Loving it so far and it's about a topic I've always been very interested in. Loved the haul, you always get books that are right up my neck of the woods.

[@sophiacorvere7018]

I just bought this book too! Excited to start it :) hope you keep liking it

[@amongstthebookshelves]

Lovely haul, Ashleigh, and that Frankenstein edition is lovely! Ooh, I think The Lessons passed me by somehow *adds to tbr* I also miss reading classic gothic novels and I did really enjoy The Castle of Otranto. I’m considering picking up The Secret History but know Babel will be in my hands soon…sooo what to do? 😅 wishing you a lovely weekend 🦇🖤

[@anautisticreader2963]

I love Gothic books. Wendy Webb writes great gothic atmospheric books.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’ll have to check them out!

[@anautisticreader2963]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction My favorite of her books (so far) is the send of Temperance Dare. Takes place in an old tuberculosis asylum that has been converted to an artists retreat.

Love the book haul but I’ve been obsessed with the earrings you’re wearing since I first saw them in one of your recent videos! Can I ask where you got them?

[@210Lancefan]

The last book I bought is: “the Valkyrie’s daughter” by tiana Warner

[@elina4538]

🦇More books for my ever growing tbr pile😆🙈

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

You and me both 😂

[@genregarden]

You always look beautiful, but there's just something about your makeup or hair in this video!!! ❤️

[@SammieLeggeLibri]

The long story short is that I hear the sunspot was supposed to be a two volumes series, but then the author has been asked to write some sort of sequel/spin off sequence and so Limit was created. Basically, the main story is the first two volumes. The Limit bit is its official completion :) I hope it makes sense ahah

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Oh that’s handy to know! There are notes at the end of them explaining that he just kept expanding it, but figuring out the order was an interesting one 😂

[@SammieLeggeLibri]

"That is not dead, which can eternal lie / And with strange aeons even death may die." - HP Lovecraft, The Nameless City. The Mysteries of Udolpho is Anne Radcliffe's magnum opus. It made her name a household word back in 1794. Its a slow burn and full of poetry but amply rewarding and full of beautiful prose - a classic and a masterpiece in every sense of those terms. I read it back in the 80s then again in about 2000. btw Did you ever finish Christopher Paolini's To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and if so, did you review it ? 🦇

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’m excited to revisit both Lovecraft and Radcliffe! I just know the two of them will win me with their words. I never actually started To Sleep in a Sea of Stars! It was sent to me unsolicited by the publisher and while I do want to read it eventually, scifi books are few and far between for me - especially of that size! It has been getting rave reviews though from what I’ve seen
