Hello friends!
As you may know, I'm a huge fan of putting together seasonal reading lists and so I thought that I'd take you along with me as I planned my summer tbr :D
Updating my seasonal tbr is one of the highlights for me as a bookworm each season, and I had so much fun filming this video for you all 🥰
I'd love to know which books are on your summer reading list (or autumn if you're in the southern hemisphere!) 📋
With all my love,
Ahya x

A thirty four minute video from my favorite cozy channel? EXACTLY what I need after a long day. 💕🕯️🌙

Isn’t he the sweetest?!! Now I just have to make sure I read all of them🤣🤣

I would love to see a bookshelf tour and physical tbr tour. It was so fun seeing little snippets of your shelves in this video. Would love a more in depth video! Love your channel! ❤

[@AhyasCottage]

Awww thank you so much!! I’ll be moving in September and so once I have a more organised set-up, I’ll definitely try to film a bookshelf tour🙈🤎

[@littleprincess51612]

@@AhyasCottage Ohh if you're moving I would love a bookshelf organization video and then you can do a bookshelf tour in the same or a separate video. Just an idea! Can't wait to see it 😍

I just came across your channel today and almost binged watched all your videos...I love the cozy vibe of your channel it's like a big hug and thank you for all the book recs I got to add so many hidden gems to my tbr 💌

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohhh that is so sweet of you!! Thank you so much for enjoying my videos😭🤎 I’m so glad that you’ve found some new books🥹🫶🏼✨

[@pseud0nul]

Anyway, my summer TBR is : *Lud in the mist *Tress of the emerald sea *A letter to the illuminous deep *Emma *Miss Newsbury's list *A shade of milk and honey (regency novel with magic) *Pride and prejudice along with the book His good opinions : A Mister's Darcy novel *Sanditon completed by another lady (Marie Dobbs) *Winnie the pooh : The complete tales *What the river knows *A river enchanted

[@AhyasCottage]

What a perfect summer tbr list!!!!😍✨ A Letter to the Luminous Deep is also one of the ones I’m looking out for too!!

[@mai.berryy]

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. I just started reading books maybe after 7 years (last time was gcse). But I read kim jiyoung, born in 1892 and now enjoy reading. I’ve been liking cozy Japanese fictions recently. But I love listening to your recommendations !! I think I’ll read Four Seasons in Japan for summer. compared to your reading speed I am much slower 😂😂

[@paigiboo4969]

Book nooks are the cutest 😍 My dad bought me one as a surprise when I was contemplating getting one ! I also decided to ban myself from buying more books until I read my physical copies … there were so many that were just sitting there collecting dust 🥹

[@hudafatima1591]

I literally try to make time and tea when I'm about to watch your videos😅❤.

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohmygosh, that’s so lovely of you!😭 thank you so much for joining me🍵🤎

[@norma8001]

Ocean at the end of the lane was excellent. Don’t feel badly if you give up on The Hobbit. It was at a time when I forced myself to finish every book. I no longer torture myself and just move on. I’m 63 and there are just too many other excellent books on my tbr.

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

I completely agree. I always give a book a fair chance, but life is way too short (and there’s way too many good books out there) to waste time on a book that I’m truly not enjoying😊

[@teodora9180]

My summer tbr ☀🌊: -The adventure's of Amina Al-Serafi -Stardust -The girl who fell beneath the sea -Tress of the emerald sea -Yumi and the nightmare painter -On stranger tides

tress of the emerald sea may be my favorite book ever.

You've become such a comfort KZbinr for me! I dislocated and fractured my ankle a couple of weeks ago and am housebound for the next 4-6 weeks, so your videos and book recommendations have been a great help!

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohh thank you so much for your kind comment and I’m SO sorry to hear that you fractured your ankle!! That must be so painful and disorientating😞 I’m sending you so much love and wish you a speedy recovery🤎 thank you for watching my videos as you take the time to heal🥺

[@spinstercatlady]

Oh, and I wanted to recommend Miranda Mills's channel to you, Ahya. She recommends some lovely seasonal reads as well as has beautiful footage of gardens and baking and lots of coziness!

[@the_blue_mushroom_]

Yeah,absolutely ❤

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohhh I adore her too!! I came across her channels about 2 years ago and fell in love with her content🥹🤎

[@rebeccasalts1978]

My top spring time fantasy is Tress of the emerald sea by Brandon Sanderson, teacups, pirates, adventure, love, and an incredible female main character!

[@bujobyfilo]

IMO Ten thousand stitches is even better than Half a soul! And Tress and Dorian Gray are also on my tbr ✨

[@AhyasCottage]

No way!!!!! I don’t know what I’m going to do if it’s even better than Half a Soul because I fell in love with that book🤣✨

[@timjuliamatyas3519]

That little book nook is the cutest thing I’ve seen❤ I’m definitely going to look into ordering one! Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is on my tbr list this summer too. I just received my copy in the mail a couple of days ago. Have a lovely weekend Ahya🌸

[@AhyasCottage]

Yes!! Every time I saw the booknook kits online I always thought that they were the most precious things🥹 How exciting that you’re looking into getting one as well😍 I hope you enjoy reading Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland as well🥹🫖✨

[@pretty.homemaking]

Beautiful video!! I just discovered you!!❤️ Among others, I am continuing on in The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, a light, but not vacuous, fun series which I absolutely adore🩵 I am reading vol.6. I Also, I'm reading the Camulod Chronicles, by Jack Whyte. It's such an awesome Arthurian series. There are nine, I believe, and I will be starting book 3, which will be narrated by Merlin💙 It's historically brilliant, richly imagined plot-wise, and, surprisingly, has been ultimate cottagecore (so far.) I've loved the first two so dearly.

[@Mariak82]

Have you read Frenchman's Creek? Its a good classic with pirates. I enjoyed reading it one summer. 🙂📚☀

[@AhyasCottage]

No I haven’t yet!! But I loved Rebecca and so I should really look into Frenchman’s Creek as well😍

[@eilindene]

I will say that while i do enjoy the TV adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small, it's fairly different from the books (which i adore! 💚). It's different enough that i don't think it really matters if you watch it before reading it.

[@AhyasCottage]

Oooh I’ll definitely be keeping that in mind when I watch the TV adaptation!! Thank you for letting me know🥰

[@hopesparadise3198]

I am so obsessed with keeper of the lost cities. I happen to buy book 1 in March and now on book 4. I went ahead and ordered books 5 through 9 to read this summer. Anyone know other books like these? I am new to fantasy type books.

[@victoria9663]

Team Sokeefe? Keefster? I can't remember the ship name 😂. Last year I read the whole series; as a whole it wasn't my cup of tea, but I loved book 4&5!!

[@AhyasCottage]

YES! President of the Foster Fan Club🤣🤣 I completely get you!! The first few books weren’t 5 stars for me either, but then I got to book 5 and became so attached to the characters🙈🤎

[@jjgarrett8225]

Same! I finished all the ones out now. Can’t wait for the next one! My favorite ones are 6, 8, and the second half of 9 😝 You will find out why!!!

[@pseud0nul]

Have you ever read Lud-in-the mist ? It's a cosy fantasy novel from 1926 which reminds me a bit of the Hobbit (not the writing but the atmosphere) ! I can't remember if you have mentionned it before in your videos 😅

[@AhyasCottage]

Noo I’ve never read it before!! I’ve seen it around in bookshops a lot and wasn’t sure what it was about, but I love that it has the atmosphere of the Hobbit!😮 I’ll definitely have to look into it, thank you for the recommendation🥹🤎

[@pseud0nul]

@@AhyasCottage You're welcome ! I'm two chapters in and I love the writing so far, very atmospheric in a cosy way, which I love 💗

[@kawaiikitty4569]

I spy Harry Potter on the top shelf of your bookcase! I can hardly see but just from the colours! Hope you are feeling better!

[@AhyasCottage]

Oh yes!!! The spines are so iconic, aren’t they?!🙈 I’ve had these books since I was 10 I think hahaha

[@AhyasCottage]

And I’m also feeling so much better, thank you for asking🥹🤎

[@kawaiikitty4569]

Hi Ahya, I just wanted to let you know that I saw the Spirited Away theatre production last weekend and it was really good. You will enjoy it. It is almost a word for word reproduction with a few small surprise extras (I won’t spoil it but related to the music). Have fun! Also the shop doesn’t have much which was a bit surprising really, the programme is worth it but quite pricey (£15).

After completing this books will you please read South Indian historical novels please give a try I just wish see english booktubers atleast one book booktuber reading South Indian historical novel As a book lover I never recommended this book to my native language readers because everyone knows this book Called : Ponniyin Selvan part 1: fresh floods There is a five parts in this book it's written by kalki Krishnamurthy It's a Tamil language book translated in english too it has movie adaptations too I usually never recommended this book to anyone because it's actually well known historical action romance fiction book, but as far as I know only few writers books only translated into english, There is lots of great books in tamil language unfortunately many books are not translated.
