Found your channel just now and already love it! I really love to read and when I was still a child my family lived for over a year in London. It is so relaxing to watch.

I read The Wood At Midwinter too. While it is very pretty (loved the art), it is way too short and brief of a story leaving me wanting a whole lot more. It was a bit odd, to be honest with you. I am also a Christian and felt it had a Christian theme of sorts. Oh the books you picked up do seem so lovely. I really like your taste. What lovely bookshops! I love when you get credits and money in rewards at bookstores. They are so dangerous!!! I actually DID buy a book recently and don't normally buy things (I'll be donating it in one of the Little Libraries on the sides of the roads we have here that people place in their yards). I bought and read The Restaurant of Lost Recipes (2nd book in a series). It was so cute. Definitely a lovely book and I think you'd enjoy the series if you haven't read them yet.

[@rosiewedge5246]

I totally agree! It was so beautiful but it almost felt like a sample pamphlet to a bigger story! I definitely noticed Christian undertones too (fellow Christian here!) but again they didn't give enough for me to be sure if they were intentional or not

[@TheMennomilist]

@@rosiewedge5246 Yes! I agree!

[@AhyasCottage]

Oooh so true!! I wish it was longer too and that the story was explored a little further! It’s so interesting hearing how people experience the same story in different ways🥰

[@pallavikrishnan8660]

Snow country is also on my tbr...I think I came across it last year ❄️...So excited to see more of your Christmas vlogs, Ahya❤...Are are you there on Goodreads?...also I have a christmas recommendation - Yuru Camp( you have to read the manga and watch the anime.... that's literally my fave christmas tradition )

[@AhyasCottage]

Yayyy thank you so much for enjoying the video and for the recommendation too!🥰 I remember hearing about Yuru Camp and now I definitely have to check it out😱❄️ And my goodreads is Ahya 💕

[@pallavikrishnan8660]

@AhyasCottage Tysm... ❤️

[@adarkcornerofthelibrary]

Random question- what camera do you use? I love how you color your videos its so cozy and beautiful!!

[@AhyasCottage]

Awww thank you so much!☺️ I use my phone to film (iPhone!) but I touch up the colours when I edit my videos using davinci resolve💕

[@Teheran-l7p]

Honestly speaking I don’t know if it would be good to say or not but I didn’t like the the Emily wilde book I felt it was a little bit off compared to it’s title or else I had great expectations hope to hear more from u about this book as u r continuing with the sequel

[@AhyasCottage]

Aww that’s okay!! Sometimes what works for someone doesn’t work for another! If anything, I felt like the cover was a little misleading for me (as much as I love it) because it doesn’t seem like a very wintry book 🙈❄️

[@ink-stained_realms]

I love your book haul! I totally loved the first book of Emily Wilde and have the second one already on my bookshelf - want to read it soon too! 🤗

[@AhyasCottage]

Thank you so much🥹 the first book was so lovely, I can’t wait to read the second one too hehe🥰

[@OnlyLilss]

Immediate follow when I heard you were a Christian 🫶🏼

[@AhyasCottage]
