Facts!

[@jellysolo]

it’s so funny that you pull back from fantasy in the fall because I’m the exact opposite! 😂 as soon as the weather starts getting colder, it’s like an alarm goes off in my head like “perfect! time to make a cozy hot drink, bundle up under a fluffy blanket, and get fully immersed in a medieval high fantasy world 🥰🕯️” I hope you love all the books you got!! 🍁💖🍂

[@Tay-wj9et]

Same! Idk why but I feel like autumn/winter are perfect for reading fantasy, and romance works best during spring/summer!

[@mirandasreads]

I'm reading The Pumpkin Spice Cafe right now. I'm like halfway through it and it is just so so aesthetic. Like the most perfect fall vibes. It's in a small town, in fall, in the northeast. There's a fall festival and they start talking about pumpkins in like the first chapter so it really is putting me in the fall mood

[@denisha_meows]

the secret history is surprisingly quite readable! one of my favourite books of all time

[@allyssafetkenhour6929]

ugh i love you so much ashlynn! im so glad i found your channel, youre such a ray of sunshine and i can really see God's love shining through you! thank you for being you!

[@AshlynnCalee]

Wow🥹 thank you so much for being here and blessing me with your comment!! 🥰🫶🏼

[@comealongwithzoe]

It’s always good day when I get a notification that Ashlynn posted!🤍

[@melissapaneto2454]

You got to give The Silent Patient a try. Once you start, you will get hooked! I’ve read all of his books

[@blimeyifancyreading]

The Silent Patient was good.

[@mirandasreads]

Did you like The Fury? I was really disappointed in it

[@hope_reads1]

you’re actually sunshine as a person😭

[@AndraeXP]

Lol I commented the exact same thing when I first watched her videos. 😂 Both she and Ian are great!

[@whitneywest3538]

Facts.

[@Nate-No-Dip]

I feel you on the pricy books lmao, however I have noticed many of my favorites have been on the higher end of the price range

[@dianaisme]

The Secret History is my favorite book of the year!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

omg magnolia parks!!!!! love that series so much. truly feels like you’re watching chuck and blair from gossip girl, but in book form 🥹🥹🥹

[@AshlynnCalee]

I can’t wait to read it!!! Thank you so much for the suggestion 🫶🏼🥰🙌🏼

[@Lieutenant_kinsta]

It always makes my day when you and Ian post on the same day.

[@honeyswan8709]

The Secret History is so good! It brought me back to reading after a long hiatus from books. Currently starting If We Were Villains and looks promising!

[@HTE785]

Silent patient is one of my favorite book you should try it 😊❤

[@shannonpoole3866]

Literally the sweetest couple ❤️

[@madamebelle-]

The Silent Patient, The Maidens and The Fury, exists in the same universe. Not really necessary to read in order, but there are bits and pieces of information that link them all together. It's a nice touch by the author! I love anything Alex Michaelides. Excited for you to read them. 😊

[@booknerdktree]

This was such a cozy book shopping vlog, exactly what I needed💗💗💗

[@literarymorning]

There’s just something special about book shopping in the fall! Definitely living vicariously through this video. 🍂

[@CassiaDee]

Have you read the Emily Wilde books? They take place around a lottt of snow, but still somehow, for me, totally have fall vibes! Not everyone likes this series, but it has my heart 💛

[@garcialara13]

I'm so excited for you to read The Secret History! I can't wait to hear your thoughts ☺

[@angelteqrss]

2:06 “the friends are trying to uncover it, figure out what happened…” LMAO THIS IS SO FUNNY IF YOU’VE READ THE BOOK

[@AshlynnCalee]

IM READING IT RIGHT NOW!! 😅😅hahaha

[@SierraCloud04]

i LOVE your going out and vlogging videos. They’re actually my fave!

[@Blackcoffeeplaylists]

OMG I can't wait to go fall book shopping. SO EXCITED.

[@astraas]

i love your voice sm, its so calming and soothing . also really the books u got, this is a really cool vlog

[@astraas]

**love

[@eleni777]

omg the secret history has been my favourite book for years good luck with that, the plot is really crazy but it's easy to read! ♡

[@Intentionally_jodie]

I love your channel and I love the dodgy filming 😂 like it’s still totally relatable channel no matter how much your following goes up ❤️

[@Lillyjoy]

Def excited to see you read the rest of the Truly Devious series and The Secret History!😊

[@meredithm7312]

I am so excited to see if you like Magnolia Park! I have been wanting to pick it up for so long since I love Gossip Girl but I’m scared! I also thought it had spice, (and I don’t like that) so keep us updated! ❤ happy fall!!!!

[@queenkim8631]

So excited for you to read thriller books again! I read The Silent Patient and loved it way more than The Maidens. Hope your reading experience is good😌

[@sherribugd3799]

Always so glad to see you dropped a video!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

So excited for fall reads! I just picked up The Secret History at a used bookstore recently and can’t wait to check it out! The Pumpkin Spice Cafe sounds like something I need in my life 😂🎃🍁

[@heathermullinax3503]

Oooh very excited! Several of these have been on my tbr for a hot minute! I really want to see a reading vlog of the maidens! I read the silent patient and loved his writing but wasn’t a fan of how the book ended so I’m curious if that one would be a better fit for me!

[@Miss_Creepy_As_Hell]

The Truly Devious books are some of my favorites ever. I especially love Box in the Woods because it gives off 80's summer camp slasher vibes, but Nine Liars is also an amazing standalone in the series.

[@AshlynnCalee]

Oooooo that’s so exciting!!!!

[@maelee475]

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the pumpkin spice cafe and magnolia parks!! I’m so curious about those too!! 🤎🎃☕️

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories.

[@olivesbooknook]

Ooh you should definitely pick up The Silent Patient! I'm the same, I really don't like scary/horror books and covers sometimes turn me off. But I absolutely loved TSP - also if you can get through If We Were Villains you can definitely handle it!

[@fionarose60]

I can’t wait for you to read The Maidens I’ve been wanting to read that one!!!

[@lovelythelexi6787]

ash !!! idk if you've read a secret history yet, but if you're into audiobooks, donna tartt narrates the audiobook and it's STUNNING.

[@NicoleWSimone]

Listening to Ninth House now. And totally into Dark Academia for the season

[@user-ii6xn7sy6e]

I’ve heard the pumpkin spice cafe is quite spicy (and the whole series), which made me so sad cos they look so cute! interested to hear your thoughts on it!

[@AshlynnCalee]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😩

[@user-ii6xn7sy6e]

@@AshlynnCalee 😢😢

[@chelseagubeli3443]

Never read or heard of any of these books so I am excited to see what you think about them.

[@808sandgabriela]

Im so excited for you to read Magnolia Parks!!

[@Twinbranchesgardening]

I need to try matcha ❤sitting with my fall coffee, sitting next to my sunflower 🌻 doing my kids paperwork. Perfect 👌

[@nataliesynan]

I'm adding the Maidens to my TBR, that sounds good! I pull more forwards fantasy during fall so I'm currently reading the Zodiac Academy books.

[@raniareadsmore]

I’m nearly done reading Pumpkin Spice Cafe and I’m so disappointed! I love the setting and the concept of the series! The cover is soooo cute! But the story is such a big let down! Cant wait to hear your thoughts on the book.

[@travJ420]

Definitely truly devious! I hope someday you get the secret history!!! It totally is the O.G. 😁 love the content!!!! I clicked so fast 😝

[@AshlynnCalee]

I bought it!!!! 🥰🙌🏼 so excited to read it!

[@travJ420]

I missed that in the haul I thought you put it back! Yay!!! It's so good I hope you like it when you pick it upppp! Honestly it can be slow, at times, but I love the journey it takes us on!!

[@caitlinmcdougal5728]

Hi! I saw you got The Maidens! I recently read it! It is so good! I know you scared of the cover for The Silent Patient but it is worth it. Please read it. Happy Fall! Have a good weekend!

[@ymr92461]

Omg I loved the maidens ! After that one you have to read the silent patient next

[@brittanysalvatori7150]

Omg ashlynn readddddd the silent patient! It’s spooky but if you can read Stephen king you’ll be more than fine!

[@itsabeeha7838]

Girl so excited for you to read secret history. please upload its vlog whenever you do it

[@Johnmarkerfranz]

Cozy video. Thanks!

[@juliacash8135]

Here are some other fall books you should get once you read those if you have not already read them. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake, The Lanterns Ember by Colleen Houck, All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody, Shady Hollow by Juneau Black, The Walls Around us by Nova Ren Suma, Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, In the Shadow Garden by Liz Parker, If I Stopped Haunting You by Colby Wilkens, Pumpkin Spice and Everyting Nice by Katie Cicateli-Kuc, and Witch of Wilde Things by Raquel Vasquez Gililand. These are all really good fall books I think you’d really like!

[@sandysmith3854]

I didn’t want to read The Silent Patient either but finally did and loved it - you need to read it!

[@WendysInspiredReads]

I plan to read magnolia parks soon too. I deff wanna see you read it! ❤

[@cari9157]

if we were villains is one of my favorite all time books! i hope if you get to it some day you love it ☺️

[@tessib.1043]

I am reading the Pumpkin Spice Cafe right now, and it’s very cute. I am enjoying it.

[@natashacorrado]

Yess the truly devious series is so worth it!!! (imo)

[@Snowmanmug3]

Pumpkin Spice Cafe is shelved in Romance!! Go get you that cozy book❤❤

[@madisonkingsley9446]

I found that The Pumpkin Spice Cafe was cute but too spicey for me! I do think it gave some Gilmore Girl vibes though lol

[@destinyrraee]

your gonna love magnolia parks, I have read three out of five books right and want to pick up the fourth one soon because I love the characters.

[@starlasell5698]

🍁📚🎃🍁 Great haul! The Maiden was pretty good, and The Secret History is fantastic.

[@sarahvoorhees]

Can’t wait for Magnolia Parks! I also thought the series wasn’t for me, but I finished the 3rd books yesterday and I’m loving it. FYI on the spice, I wouldn’t say its completely closed door, but what is described is not specific and more about their thoughts/feeling during… it’s also a large topic of conversation among the characters, but it didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. Hope that helps!

[@mementomori8930]

I'm saying this as a non native english speaker who only just started reading for about 2 year, Secret History is not difficult at all, and it's one of my favourite!

[@ΕΦΗΚ-γ5ε]

In case you don't enjoy The Maidens, definitely try the Silent Patient because I absolutely loved the second one by far more than I did the first one!❤❤

[@ryleighfulghum6443]

You NEED to read the silent patient ITS SO GOOD

[@ToddsBookTube91]

Todd here. Great video I love a Hot Mocha in Autumn and trips to Barnes & Noble!

[@sophiemachesky]

Can you please do a reading vlog for The Secret History and Pumpkin Spice Cafe!!! I need it your opinions before I buy them haha

[@thegreatwaugh]

Great video! Also, that's the nicest Barnes & Noble I've ever seen!

[@TaylorJ]

I am also super judgey to Goodreads ratings! Which is interesting because I have definitely loved books rated under 4 stars yet it’s so hard for me to actually try them 😅

[@kitkat12101]

I NEEED FEARLESS rn!!!!!!

[@leandernandalee4041]

If we were villains is so so good❤

[@arianemeurant2000]

My comfort person❤❤❤❤

[@sherrieray]

Oh my Ashlynn you must read the Silent Patient it’s sooo good!! I love you & your husband vlogs y’all are too cute…

[@daniellebourret4685]

FYI the book pumpkin spice cafe is currently free on kindle

[@AshlynnCalee]

No way! Yayyyyy! Thank you so much, it’s sold out every where hahaha.

[@Michelle-op2sk]

I am gonna cry. Stalking Jack the Ripper should be there especially since the new cover for paperbacks it's out😭 I was also shocked that there was The Tearsmith from Erin Doom😨❤ Btw you are very beautiful and thank you so much for this video❤ Love from Italy❤

[@DianaNM]

I just paused the video to say that, you should read “The silent patient”! Omg, I’m literally almost finished reading it, and the final pages I read just left me speechless. I still need to read the last 20 pages, but I’m not joking, I couldn’t put this book down. I hardly recommend you to read it! Me personally, I can’t wait to finish it, I’m already looking forward to it :D

[@BookObsessed-115]

Ahhhhh! Love your vids!

[@denyse8796]

G U R L ! It's like we are cosmically connected! My sis and I went on a quest to find a DarkAc book to buddy read for Fall Read Kickoff, and we settled on The Maidens!😂 Also, I am in UT, too, and my fav daydream is running into u and Ian while bookshopping 🫶

[@logo891201]

I just finished the pumpkin spice cafe. I really enjoyed it!

[@kristi_ui_ux]

You look amazing with this hair color 😍

[@Taabea]

So the first book in the Magnolia Parks universe was a one star for me 🙃 But truly I just had to get through it and from there on the next two were 4.25 and 5 stars and I’m sure the next ones are also going to be rated so highly! 😫 The characters are my everything now

[@JuliaPittman-d9l]

Also, God bless you Ashlynn, Love you! ❤

[@caseyfinnegan4139]

I love these videos!!

[@AvidMari23]

I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on Secret History. I put it down after 100 pages or so. I

[@Brookiethewitchie]

When you post be reading but your couple booktubers posted !

[@shannonpoole3866]

Ahhhhhh another video ❤❤

[@samanthafayee]

Wow i definitely want to read if we were villains.. never read a dark academia before so im a little nervous!!! Also so random but you look soooo pretty in the thumbnail 🥰🥰🥴

[@katmancilla5777]

I can't wait to see your thoughts on magnolia parks bc of how toxic it is. I personally like it, but some people don't.

[@Writersinclair]

The maidens is a five star read for me

[@RallyReviews]

most like to see what you think of secret history because i want to know whether it is worth the read. I think you will have more fun with others ones though.

[@sharonlovesbooks]

I would like to see you read all of these. I just recently picked up Magnolia Parks, I also thought it was a spicy series so pleased to know it isn't.

[@Tay-wj9et]

The Secret History is full of unpleasant characters doing awful things, but for some reason I really enjoyed reading it! I normally hate that kind of thing, but it was so compelling and well-written, I couldn't put it down! The Goldfinch by the same author has a similar vibe but is less dark, it's kind of a modern Charles Dickens in my opinion, and it felt *very* autumnal.

[@ElinWinblad]

Ninth house is fav fall read

[@ChristopherJohnn]

read the forbidden book Magnetic Aura on Borlest, and you'll see the secrets they're keeping from us.

[@xoxellerose]

I had no idea about the last two spin-offs from truly devious and apparently she is writing more! But I’m reading now in the woods right now and it’s so good definitely the creepiest so far 😅 but not too scary lol

[@booknerdktree]

I definitely think I’m most intrigued to see you read magnolia parks as I haven’t seen any Christians read and review it so I’m not clear on content in it.

[@JuliaPittman-d9l]

I'm most eager to see you read Magnolia Parks. I got the pumpkin spice cafe book on the kindle app, and I'm like a few pages in and idk if I'm going to finish it...because I started reading The Games that God's play by Abigail Owens. And that book like swept me away.

[@Zachtbarth]

I have Secret History on my September TBR, so I’m intrigued to see what you think of it as well!

[@sbragdon212]

As a Christian and big Gilmore Girls fan, I thought the pumpkin spice cafe was going to be a cute cozy read, but I had to DNF it around 50%. It practically copied Gilmore Girls. Like way too much it made me angry lol and it surprisingly was too icky for me. They fall in love within like 2 seconds of meeting each other which made me a bit angry too lol

[@stephaniefl87]

Pumpkin spice has actual spice as a warning but otherwise love the haul! Please do an update video on all you read.
