[@DarlingDesi]

**opens amazon wishlist** **tries to keep up with the video while adding almost every single book to cart** It's only the beginning but this is already so cozy and warm and honey drenched! 💛 I am so happy you're giving The Hobbit another try! I listened to it on audio and Andy Serkis really brought the characters alive for me! 😊 Ohhhhh I think you'll love A Fragile Enchantment! It's full of so much beauty, softness and unexpected depth.

[@AhyasCottage]

hahahah oh I adore this!!! Thank you so much Desi for watching and for commenting too🥹😭 Andy Serkis is truly doing wonders bringing the book alive for me too! I just started listening to the audiobook version and can't wait to carry on listening to it hehe🌸 and I absolutely love the way you described A Fragile Enchantment - that's literally my dream book!! Sending so much love to you!!!🥹🌼🌷

[@pseud0nul]

Persuasion is one of my favorite Jane Austen book, it's very romantic and I also love the 2007 film adaption ! Btw I heard Jane Austen met the secret true love of her life at one of the most important location in the book and then wrote the book, that what her sister told her nieces anyway, it makes it even more special to me

[@AhyasCottage]

ohhh thank you so much for watching the video and I'm thrilled to hear that Persuasion is one of your favourite Austen novels!!😍 I just started it today and I can't wait to get deeper into the story and then watch the 2007 adaption🥰 And I've never heard of that before, but it makes this book so much dreamier and more romantic!🥺🌸

Thankyou Ahya for so many good recommendations. Presently I am drinking Assam Tea w/ milk. I prefer black teas w/ milk. I do like Lemongrass and Hibiscus herbals. I read the original Secret Garden about 3 wks. ago. EXCELLENT! The books by Adrienne Young, Shion Miura, and Rachel Lucas will be the first ones I read, from the ones I wrote down! ( almost all!). Thanks you!🤗

[@AhyasCottage]

ohh thank you so much for watching!!🥹🌸 I also love black teas with milk and hibiscus herbal tea is so delightful to drink too!🍵 I'm so happy to hear that you loved The Secret Garden as I really want to read it this year!

A book similar to Baker's Magic is A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking. I enjoyed reading it 😊, although I never got the opportunity to finish it.

[@AhyasCottage]

oh yes!! I've actually tried to read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking several times because I really wanted to love it, but I dnf-ed it each time which breaks my heart! On paper, it sounds like exactly the kind of book that I'd love so I'm not sure where it went wrong, but I did really enjoy Nettle & Bone, and Swordheart by T Kingfisher is one of my favourites fantasy&romance book too🥰

Georgette Heyer is better than Jane Austen. My favourite Heyer books are April Lady, The Convenient Marriage, Friday's Child, The Foundling and The Corinthian.

[@keatsiann]

I am the biggest LOTR nerd and reread the trilogy every year... and I highly dislike the Hobbit 😅 I couldn't tell you why but it's grueling to me to read and I can never get into it. I've been halfway through for 2 years now. That is to say: if you end up disliking the Hobbit again, don't write off the trilogy!

[@AhyasCottage]

OH I love this!! thank you so much for sharing your experience because it gives me so much reassurance that I wasn't the only one struggling to get through The Hobbit the first time I tried reading it🥺 I'm excited to give it another shot this year, but if it doesn't go well I'll keep your comment in mind and will try the trilogy anyways! Thank you truly for your insight as it's given me some peace of mind🥰🌸
