[@AhyasCottage]

Hi friends!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year🎄Thank you all for the incredible love and kindness you've poured out this past year ever since I started this channel. I'm so grateful to have such a warm group of people here in this community and couldn't be more thankful for you all😭🤎 On a side note, if you have any beautiful holiday romance book recommendations (preferably clean), please let me know because I'd love to read some over the next few weeks hehe💕

[@maddy-zzz]

it isn't necessarily romance, more so about love and family, but have you read The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey? If you're wanting something atmospheric and snowy, that book is so beautiful

[@MatildaTheBookDragon]

​@maddy-zzz one of the best books I read in 2023 ❤❤ it's amazing! 🥰

A year at castle court and the star and the sixpence by Holly Hepburn, you won't be disappointed :)

[@emipopescu3257]

What a lovely voice! I've skipped many bookish videos because of that hyper-enthusiastic over-reacting happily super-loud voice that's simply piercing my ears. Finaly someone i can listen to. And nice, and interesting. Glad to have found this chanel

[@elizaandshania]

The vibes of your videos are perfection!! Adding so many of these to our TBR's! 🥹❤

Merry Christmas Ahya thank you for the book recommendations 🤍. I love that you added a snow effect on your video it's really cute.🎄❄

If you want a magical wonderful hidden gem for a Christmas book, I recommand to everybody "The Enchanted Sonata" by Heather Dixon Wallwork, it's a nutcracker retelling full of magic, adventure, love, the most beautiful atmospheric writing, it became one of my favourite book ever !

[@pollys6192]

Mimi Matthews is a safe place for me and "A Holiday by Gaslight" is one of my favourite Christmas romances, if you haven't read "North and South" by Elizabeth Gaskell, I strongly recommend it to you. It's the source of inspiration for Mimi Matthews' book. This year I am reading another historical romance, this time set around 1910 or so. It is inspired by "The Nutcracker" and the protagonist is a dreamer who has to choose between her childhood love or a very powerful yet cold union. The book is beautifully written by Roseanna M. White and its title is "Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor" Merry Christmas to you and your family and all of the people watching your videos!

[@AhyasCottage]

Oooh I’m so excited to hear that you enjoyed A Holiday by Gaslight!! I can’t wait to read more of it🥰 And I had no idea that it was inspired by North and South😱 I started reading that a few weeks ago and loved it but I haven’t managed to continue so I definitely want to start again soon! Thank you also for the recommendation😍 it sounds so dreamy and I can’t wait to look it up❄️🎄

Merry Christmas Ahya! I recently completed my yearly reflection & I included finding your channel as one of my yearly highlights. Prior to finding your channel, I mostly read self-development books every once in a while & it started feeling like a chore. Your videos have introduced me to the world of fantasy books & have ignited my love for reading fiction. My life feels fuller, thank you ❤️.

[@mayacosy]

hello ahya I've been watching your videos since your first upload and ever since then i am absolutely in love with your content and of course your lovely and sweet voice hehe 🩷 thank u for creating these beautiful and cozy videos for us to enjoy ☺️ loved and enjoyed this book recs video as always

[@AhyasCottage]

[@mayacosy]

@AhyasCottage awww thank uuuu 🥹 hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well!!! 🎄♥️

[@gedeonedepaperone9177]

If you like Caraval then I think you'll like Once Upon A Broken Heart too. It's perfect for winter, it's fantasy romance and there are no explicit scenes

[@AhyasCottage]

Oooh really?!! I've actually been wanting to read Once Upon a Broken Heart which is why I picked up Caraval in the first place so that I could read OUABH next, but I'm so excited to hear that it's perfect for winter! Thank you for letting me know🥰❄

[@Anna-dp8ee]

Merry Christmas Ahya! 🎄♥️🐻🦊

[@Teheran-l7p]

The countryside winter based books are always heart melting😊 missed a genre from u that’s the horror, gothic winter vibe books , as winter morning without a cup of tea is unimaginable so A WISDOM OF TEA by noriko morishita could be loving ☕️

[@sanaaz2395]

Just found ur channel this month and it’s so cute! We have similar reading taste! 💞💞

[@AhyasCottage]

Awww thank you for joining me!!🙈 that’s so exciting that we have similar reading tastes!😍

[@brittdrath]

I adored all of the outfits you tried on! I also enjoyed The Wood at Midwinter, and am excited to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell!

[@AhyasCottage]

Awww thank you so much!!🥺 I really want to read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell as well so I feel like I have to put it down as one of the books I hope to get to next year😝

[@pallavikrishnan8660]

Let's see...if you're interested in a middle grade story set in the Arctic, I would recommend Leila & the Blue Fox by Kiran Millwood Hargrave... Also when it comes to winter, I love reading historical fiction novels...for instance, The Circus Train by Amita Parikh❤

[@VickyMeowM]

Hiii, I just wanted to say that your thumbnails are always so beautiful, really creative and pretty!! 🥹 (they always stand-out on my feed) 🎄Also merry Christmas and happy new year, I've read a lot of your recommendations through this year, thank you for your dedication on this channel 💖

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohhh thank you SO much for this incredibly sweet comment😭😭 I'm so grateful and happy to hear that you've read a lot of my recommendations🥹🤎 I wish you a lovely Christmas and happy new year too!! *big hug*❄️

[@TheMennomilist]

I don't keep or own many books, but I do own a copy of A Christmas Carol. It is one of the most beautiful stories. I have heard of Caraval and hear good things only about it. I have yet to read it though. I appreciated your review of Tomorrow and Tomorrow. . .etc. I have seen the book around all year and didn't really know what it was about. What do you tab in your books? I have been really really wanting to read All Creatures Great and Small. Glad it was good! I will be reading it in 2025 for sure. I read A Holiday by Gaslight last year during this season! It was too short in my opinion and I wanted more! I found it to be unique though with the idea of when pipes would have to be put into places with electricity and all that. It's snowing in your home (hehe). Cute effect. It is snowing outside where I live right now. :)

[@AhyasCottage]

Awww thank you for watching the video🥹🤎 I usually use sticky tabs to mark things that I easily want to come back to in the future like beautiful nature descriptions or memorable quotes that were touching or swoonworthy romance quotes!!💕 How magical that it's snowing where you live! I had to bring the snow indoors since there's no sign of snow outdoors here >

[@TheMennomilist]

@AhyasCottage Oh that is a pretty nice way of doing it, with the tabs. I don't keep books really (just a handful honestly), as I would have nowhere to keep them all (I read 126 books this year so far alone, and at 41 with a family of five in a tiny apartment, I would have accumulated a full library of them), but I have a "quotes book" that I will use to write my favorites down in. I flip through the book every so often to reread my favorite quotes. I love that you keep tabs on nature descriptions! How lovely.
