That robin was so cute. When I was younger my Nan used to tell me a robin is loved one visiting you who has passed.

[@dannimariebedford]

My nan always told me the same thing, so now every time I see one I tell her hi!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

my nan says the same, I always send her a photo/video when I see one! 🤎

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

I love your vlog fit checks, you're so cute and fit the winter aesthetic so well!!! Awww the robin 🥰 I've been having the urge to embroider lately and you mentioning it reminded me of it 😅 🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@janeenbreyman212]

🎄 Merry Christmas!🎄

[@camillamikkelsen5776]

I`m a new subscriber.. I`m Norwegian. Really like your vlogs already. Looking forward to watch more of them.

[@AbiofPellinor]

Ahhh I always love seeing a Robin, they make me feel at home 😍

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

There's something so comforting about them!

[@lekofo]

🎄I hope the rest of 2023 and the entire 2024 will be good to you! No injuries and only excellent books❤

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

This is so sweet, thank you! and you too 🤎

[@Emiliemooles]

Hope you’re feeling better! I keep starting books and not finishing them this year but especially in the last month. Hoping to finish a few and also read the most recent Heartstopper book.🎄🌲

[@ZoeBeck7]

The 3rd book is the best - Gleam - to me. Everything happens in that books for plot & romance. I’m just finished rereading the first 4 books and will starting Gold next. I’d like to try J. Bree books. 🎄 -Amy

[@ravenleigh9155]

Hope you are doing much better 💜 I'm glad I'm not the only one with series. 2024 is my year to finish series's xx

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I am now luckily, thank you! 🤎 2024 is the year, lets do this 💪🏻

[@e4mi]

The way you said "just leave.." as you were thinking of an emoji made me LOL

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

omg I didn't even notice AHA

[@mrssharms3335]

Lovely video and I am so glad your on the mend. Sword Catcher, for me, was a struggle bus, pushed on and finished with so many dislikable characters and not enough of an original fantasy plot line it was not a great reading experience. Happy times that you found a series you dug your teeth into though, not read J Brees Broken bonds but read her The mortal fates book 1 and although it needs some editing to get rid of some repetitive parts it was a good time and I can't wait for the next instalment. Happy Christmas

[@dawnnicholson9675]

That Robin though... Hope you gave him some cinnamon bun.. 😊😊. They are very cheeky when there's food about. 🎄🎄❤❤

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I did! Had to be done ahaha

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Sprayed edges just make me so happy 🥹

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

they're so beautiful!

[@sakurahan91]

I absolutely LOVED GLINT!!! I haven’t continued yet just because I’m savouring the books! GILD wasn’t anything compared to GLINT for me. I adore the MMC of GLINT! He’s my #2 book boyfriend, before Rhysand from ACOMAF. GLINT is NOT filler at all. It’s where the romantasy starts!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I'm glad you enjoyed it more than I did!

[@BrookeReadsBooks333]

I wanna see her do a big chop on her hair for 2024 like in older videos, she rocks that look! Love those boots 🤤, and the Christmas ornaments are gorgeous 👌🏻!

[@RestingKitten]

Glad that you’re feeling better! I’ve had neck injuries before (frozen neck/pinched nerves) and it’s honestly so so painful and takes ages to feel right again 😢 it’s great that you got to at least read so much during that time though! ❤🎄

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

It's wild how such a seemingly little thing can just knock you out entirely 😂 but hey, silver lining!

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

Glad your feeling better!🎄

[@ReadingKeepsRealityAway]

My nan use to live in assisted living flats and a robin used to visit her. When she passed it came back

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

there's a folklore/saying that goes along the lines of "when a robin is here, loved ones passed are near" 🤎

[@anikamercier2651]

Glad you’re feeling better!!! 🎄

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you!!

[@ReadingNymph]

🎄🎄 glad to hear you are feeling better! Your decorations look lovely 😊

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you!! 😊

[@jadeduffy84]

🎄🎅 glad you're feeling better

[@cleg78]

Great to see you back in another video, loving the Chelsea boots you have, they are lush 👌🏼

[@cleg78]

Actually watching your video whilst I put up my own Christmas tree 🎄 yes I know, shamefully late. I am just not feeling it this year.

[@cleg78]

Quick question why is all the writing on things coming through backwards on your videos just now? Xx

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you! I’ve been filming some updates on my phone as it’s better either lowlight filming, but the screen is flipped! I keep forgetting to turn it around until it’s too late 😂

[@ellisedanielle]

Gleam, the 3rd book is when plated prisoner really starts hitting different and heating up ❤✨ so glad I kept reading 📖 Starting on Gold now!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

ok I'm taking your word for it! 👀

[@ellisedanielle]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction oh dear! the pressure is ON 👀💕😅.. I really do hope you enjoy the payoff in ✨Gleam✨I almost dnf'd Gild.. then curiously kept on reading and now I'm loving the series. So we've come a long way lol 🤣 Happy Holidays Lovely❤️🎄

[@devsea]

if you play games, you are a gamer 🥰

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

y'know, when editing this I literally thought "what am I even saying?" because I wouldn't say that to anyone about reading ahahaha

[@MichelleReadsandVlogs]

Sorry to hear you’ve been bed bound 😢 Hope you fully recover and feel better soon 🤞🏻

[@kourtneyD84]

book 3 gets really good. the romance comes out more and you see other sides of the main characters, I am on book 4 and it is good.

[@livlar3792]

Gleam is everything, honestly please trust the process because it is 🔥 😂

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

iiiiinteresting 👀

[@SR-vo6ls]

I wanted to read Cassandra Clare's book because the sinopsis sounds exactly like the webtoon My Dear Cold Blooded King ❤, I don't like the Shadows Hunter series I only read the first one I hope this one be at least entertaining 🎄

[@RandiLynnK]

🎄European robins are way cuter than American robins!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Omg I don’t know there was a difference so just googled and they’re so SLEEK compared to our lil flying pom-poms?! 😂

[@lizziedoeslife]

Not that I want someone to be disappointed with a book, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who rated Sword Catcher so low.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

it's just...a lot of nothing 😬

[@elizabethkoch5159]

Oh girl! Glint sucked in my opinion. Least favorite of the series. Gleam is when it gets good. I don't love that it takes 3 books to get into it, but it gets better from there.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

ooooh ok noted! hoping I feel the same ahaha

[@dannimariebedford]

Unpopular opinion but I hated The Plated Prisoner series. The characters have nothing about them and infuriated me the whole way through. I also think the plot it so boring. No offence intended to the people that enjoyed it, I just did not get along with it.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

That's fair! I feel like I've seen a few people feel pretty meh about it

[@dannimariebedford]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction Yea I’ve seen a mixed bag of opinions, but I also saw that it got better around book 3 which I agree it did improve a little. The book 4 just slumped me
