Vilette and Jane Eyre are two of my favorite book of all time!

[@mangalidasghosh7734]

not gonna lie, i thought the whole “manifest your dream life” thing was a bit overhyped until a friend handed me queen abundance secrets. i wasn’t expecting much, but all the women i know who read it are thriving-they’re more intentional, more aware of their energy, and are seeing big shifts in their lives. one of them even started attracting opportunities she’d been chasing for years. it’s not some magic fix, but it definitely helps you see things differently. if you’ve ever felt stuck or disconnected, it might help you level up.

[@bea5687_]

It pays to not plan 😂 I always have such a great time while watching your videos ❤

[@maddiewilliams8183]

You can get the zebra highlighters at Michaels for cheaper! They have smaller packs and you can always use the 30% coupon they have online:)

[@KVI_Amoresreadwithme]

You were so chaotic at the bookstore but it was so adorable 😂❤️

[@AshlynnCalee]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I was definitely in my element! 😂

[@christinawills6061]

Love all the classic books you got. It would be cool to maybe do a classic series. Maybe feature classic books each week. Tell a little bit about the history of the books etc.

[@queenkim8631]

I got a giftcard for Barnes & Noble and I'm going tomorrow 😍 You're making me more excited!!

[@AshlynnCalee]

You’re going to have such a fun time!! 🤩

[@lilwinborne]

Yay Ashlynn uploaded I hope you LOVE your new books!!! Wishing everybody a Happy weekend

[@anaencast02]

I love watching this channel over the years.

[@AdjeNauseam]

You can NEVER have enough copies of your favorite book! I have 18 different editions of The Stand, in 3 languages and if I ever see another one I don't have, it's going to be mine!

[@TaylorJ]

My house survives off our calendar! Such a necessity to keep in the kitchen and keep track of where everyone’s going when 😊

[@tc8404]

Exactly. We have a planner that stays open to the month with a pen ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER. It stays It’s a must and that’s just for hubby and me and dog and it’s a must lol

[@luvhellokittyyy]

this actually made my dayyy!!

[@tstreasurestoys6673]

That cover of Little Women is gorgeous!😍I absolutely love Little women, it’s my favorite classic!🥹🫶🏻

[@kathrynjoyner5790]

Loved the video! Cant wait to hear your thoughts on some of these!!

[@elizabethkeller4544]

some unsolicited advice here: my boyfriend and I have a shared apple calendar and it works so well to keep each other in the loop. Obviously doesn't replace a physical calendar, but I personally feel like I am making plans a lot when the only calendar I have access to is my phone so

[@andrewanderson5987]

Yayyyyy! I’m so exciteddddddd! Love ur channel

[@bethanyshell]

You are so funny 😆 definitely in your element at Barnes! The echo when you said “Let’s go book shopping” took me out!

[@Omprakash-e2u]

so my friends kept raving about this ebook queen abundance secrets and honestly, i was like, “okay, another self-help thing.” but then i started seeing how much they were glowing-one of them landed her dream job, and another finally started that side hustle she’d been talking about for years. it’s not over the top or anything, but you can tell their energy is different. if you’re curious about manifesting abundance and leaning into your feminine energy, it might be worth checking out-it really clicked for them.

[@AmitVerma-295]

i kept hearing about queen abundance secrets from the women in my circle, and at first, i brushed it off as another ebook trend. but when one of them started manifesting her dream life, like literally booking vacations and getting raises, i couldn’t ignore it anymore. it’s not about quick fixes or cheesy advice-it’s about using your feminine energy to create alignment with what you want. if you’re feeling like life isn’t quite flowing the way you want, this might be worth a look. it’s been a game-changer for people around me.

[@trinc9015]

Count of Monte cristo, was the first big classic I ever read and absolutely loved it! My grandmother recommended it and got it for me so it will forever hold a special place in my heart, I miss her everyday, and I wish I had kept the copy she got me, it wasn’t old but it would have been nice to have still.

[@happy_beaver]

this was so fun! i hope you love the classics! 📚 i’m also collecting the clothbound ones, and they’re so gorgeous! 💛

[@kenzie_gip9743]

The reaction to the highlighters was hilarious. "When did we.... lose touch" 😂 The highlighters are probably cheaper on Amazon

[@sirgnome]

The sticker shock over highlighters is REAL.

[@DianaWodnoff]

I’m finishing Beg, Borrow, or Steal right now. I have 15 pages left. I’ve laughed and cried so much. It sent me on a heartbreaking journey through memory lane bc of Jack. I connected to both the characters way too much. I hope you love it too.

[@michellemp1626]

Would I need to read the other 2 books in the interconnected series?

[@DianaWodnoff]

@ not really. The others add to the story but each book explains things that happened in the others so they can stand alone.

[@michellemp1626]

@@DianaWodnoff great, thanks!

[@michellemp1626]

I was so happy to see you pick up The Dinner List - it is my favorite Rebecca Serle book so far. I've also read In Five Years and One Italian Summer. Would love to know your thoughts on it. It would be cool to see how you set up your planner. Happy New Year!

[@openlybookish]

Wow that's quite a book haul. Your B&N is gorgeous. Also, your nails look so pretty Ashlynn. 😍

[@Shaegeeksout]

I ADORE The Tennant of Wildfell Hall!!

[@ToddsBookTube91]

Happy New Year! Nice Barnes & Noble Haul!

[@z_luvz_bookz]

I collect different editions of Little Women too! I think I have about 17 now ! The pink one you showed earlier I got for Christmas this year and the edition your brother got you I found in a book warehouse in South Carolina! It made my heart smile to see them both.

[@derlis_whatever7033]

I would recommend actually reading the cheap penguin editions and have the clothbound for the library. Reading those clothbound copies is so hard

[@Stormbrise]

5:15 One of my special interests as a neurodiverse person is planners, trust me when I say, I have spent more than 35 dollars a year on planners, pens, stickers, washi tape, and highlighters. I have a beautiful edition of Little Women that I found on my mom’s bookshelf, and a really old hard cover of Uncle Toms Cabin. I added them to my Running list of Classic books I want to get to this year or next. I am knee deep in War and Peace, I have to finish it by 31st of August, which means I will have read it in a year. I want to know what book you finally found! Waiting for the end of the video haul! Thanks to Ian I made lists of my TBRs, including my 25 for 25. Yes I cheated and put some series on them. Then I made the following lists: classics I am closing in on 30, a 11 non-fiction fiction book list, a film studies special project book list that I want to write about, a list of anticipated releases for the next year, rereads, Shakesphere plays, and daily meditations readings. Yeah. I should go no buy except for the ones on my list. Now I will die laughing at myself. Calendar does not have Portland, so I will bypass it. My brother who loves taking pictures of dilapidated barns and farms made us a calendar of his photos this year. Unexpected win for Christmas for us,. He is a great photographer, but everyone with a smart phone thinks they’re one. He could not make a living as a professional photographer when he tried. So, unfortunately it is now a hobby.

[@elisabethprice4697]

Oh. My. Gosh. I can not wait to see you read The Count of Monte Cristo!!!!!!!!

[@MilasBooked]

Oh my gosh 😂, that was totally the Lord’s hand being, here you go Ash, you deserve some highlighters. Btw. Wuthering heights was so good, I cried, and I recommend watching one of the adaptations after you read it, to be in the feels.

[@TheTeddyBearsWon]

Jane Eyre is my favourite book, it’s so beautifully written. If you like historical books Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series is amazing, but there are some naughty bits in them, which you can skip if you want to. Phillipa Gregory’s Plantagenet and Tudor series are also very good, if you want to learn about some English history. John Jakes’ North and South trilogy, which I read when I was a teenager (15/16) which is American history again brilliant books.

Loved your unbridled excitement at the book store, haha you’re so fun and cute! 😂 I picked up The Dinner List on a whim at Goodwill so I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts if you read it before me (you probably will, haha). Ooo I can’t wait to read A Sea of Unspoken Things! I’m obsessed with that Brontë sisters collection, what a great gift!! I’m planning to read either Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights this year, or maybe both, we’ll see. And I got that exact edition of The Count of Monte Cristo for Christmas and plan to read that this year as well!

[@jackielowrey3032]

Never have I ever seen a bowlero sponsor 😂 I’m curious to see what you think about Crowns of Nyaxia. There is a lot of vampire spice I hope you know that!

[@chelseagubeli3443]

Excited. I am going to read a few of the same books.

[@AshlynnCalee]

I'm so excited to hear that!! Hopefully, we’ll both enjoy them!

Your bad mood is better than mine lol I've been told I make a scary back off face... I enjoyed this vlog, has me questioning what my book tastes are, I would like to expand more into older classics. I have a bad habit though where I struggle to DNF because I'm too afraid of hurting the author's feelings, as if they have spidey sense that someone put their book down lol I know...I know...

Just a warning; this Sarah Adams book will not be clean like most of her previous ones. I’ve been told there are several spice scenes. Don’t want you to be blindsided like many are being. 🫶

[@AshlynnCalee]

NOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭 thank you so much for letting me know!

[@booknerdktree]

@ of course! It sucks to be blindsided by that stuff. I was so sad about it too! Sorry girl! 🫶 An awesome clean romance I think you’d love though is Love & Other Goals by Tracy Baack! 💗

[@Jolly.Joy_Rose]

I also heard it takes place during the summer, so no cute school interactions or cute kids After hearing about the spice I had to pass either way

the new sarah adams book has two spice scenes but they are not explicit at all, plus. she tells you which chapters (at the beginning of the book) they are located in case you don’t want to read those scenes
