[VLOG] Annotating The Secret History, setting up for autumn, & a gothic book haul 🕯️🍂

[@msellenandrea]

"I don't know how to dress for warm weather" I felt that in my soul 😂

[@larascozycorner3678]

Same!😂

[@italiaadilene2895]

Same here lol

[@jessicabridges4335]

When the cat meowed I git excited that you got yourself a familiar finally. 😂

Hello lovely, Another lovely and cosy vlog. As i'v said before i'm not a reader and never have been. I just feel i cant read as mad as that sounds. I love coming to your channel for the cosy vlogs. I bloody love your vlogs either at home in your flat or out and about in Edinburgh. Vlogs are my favourite things to watch. Your flat is looking so beautiful and cosy. A real autumn feel. I do hope you are feeling much better in yourself now after your resent slower month in August. Anyways have a great weekend. xx

[@allier1940]

I need to read The Secret History. It has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now. 🕯

[@BrookeReadsBooks333]

“darling Desi” has great VLOGS. Cozy. They aren’t my total vibe, but she does put tremendous amount of effort into them.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

They’re truly impressive!

[@maggied.586]

🕯️ Thank you for this wonderfull vlog! I just recently discovered your channel and I now know what I was missing... You are so inspiring and calming; watching you is more effective than taking a Xanax 🤭 Thank you for your effort. Goodnight from a very grey Belgium! Maggie

[@graceezri8870]

Immaculate vibes!! 🕯

[@d.edwardmeade3683]

Ashleigh, you are so talented with the settings and cinematography 😄👍👍

[@limeparticle]

I remember the first time I read The Secret History - I loved it so much, I just straight up read it three times back to back 😂 That was years ago though, I’m due for a reread.

[@SallyBowles5050]

I read it at least 20 years ago. It’s in my Que for a re-read as well. 📚

[@OnceUponATimeL]

🕯✒️🖤whenever I hear "perfect", I'm instantly reminded of the creepiest "perfectly splendid" 👻

[@confessionofabookdragon]

Shadow and Glass is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! A great gothic spooky book I recently read and fell in love with is Raising the Horseman by Serena Valentino and it is a Legend of Sleepy Hollow retelling.

[@amongstthebookshelves]

I am literally living for all of your vlogs! They are always so cosy and charming 😍😍 I’ve never annotated a book before (I think writing in books has always been a phobia of mine 😂) but having watched this video, I may just be tempted to give it a go 😊 really happy to see you back ❤🕯

[@bevmills8619]

Your copy of the secret history with all the autumnal tabs looks wonderful! It’s a five star read for me too, I also love to loathe characters! 🕯🍂

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

I read the Secret History last year and it really stuck with me, it’s such a fantastic book 🖤 I’m reading If We Were Villains at the moment and you can tell the inspiration was the Secret History, it’s also really really good ☺️ 🍁

[@latasharenay3890]

I'm so excited for this dark academia TBR. Also please keep the vlogs coming.

[@kimberly_reads]

Allisonpaiges has the coziest vlogs in my opinion! Really loved this video 🕯️

[@italiaadilene2895]

🕯loved this vlog !! Would you consider maybe doing a video on how and what you tab and underline when annotating a book? I really want to start annotating mine but don’t really know how to start.

[@sorayareadsbooks]

Never seen you so excited and in love about a book! I adore the secret history.. it’s the only dark academia book that I love (so far!)

[@d.edwardmeade3683]

@26:21 😼 LMAO!!! 🤣😹🤣😹🤣😹🤣😹🤣😽

[@adrienneadelsperger897]

Loved this vlog. 🕯🍁📚🖤

[@sandyokey7728]

I read The Secret History earlier this year and I loved it. It’s a book that will definitely be a reread for me, maybe next September. Your vlog is beautiful, as always, and it’ll be rewatched too. 🕯🧡🍁🖤🍂🕯

[@Mariak82]

🧡 📚🕯🍂🍁 I gave this one 4 stars and my favourite one If We Were Villains was 5 stars. 🙂📚

[@larascozycorner3678]

Those annotation tabs look so satisfying❤

[@lydireads9581]

Um so….. new favorite video of all time 😭😭😭❤️

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Omg 🥹🥹 an honour 🖤

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great Vlog and haul 📚😎💯👍

[@MilenaReads]

This vlog was so cosy 🥰 I really enjoyed The Secret History when I read it in January, I can imagine you annotating it, there’s so much to uncover.

[@Jojojozilla]

wonderful cozy vlog 🕯 the secret history is still on my tbr and I am a bit intimidated

[@Emiliemooles]

Loved this video! I really want to start annotating my books more and this blog made me even more inspired to do so. 🕯

this was so soothing! the vibes were perfect 😍

[@0bookhoarder096]

A great channel for soothing vlog like content that has great seasonal vibes is The Cottage Fairy, she lives in the most adorable cottage in the woods and while books don't always feature in her videos she is an avid reader and works at a bookstore - I get immediate serotonin whenever I watch her videos Really enjoyed this video too!! Love all the autumn vibes 🍁🕯️

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I love her videos and have her book preordered! I just watched her new one about working in a bookstore this morning 🥰

[@sabrinaburton7158]

🕯I absolutely loved The Secret History! Currently reading The Aeneid translated by Shadi Bartsch because classics feel autumnal to me 😊

[@bethsbookishreviews9374]

Oh my goodness! The Secret History has been on my shelf for months, and I have not read it! You make me want to pick it up right away!!!

[@heidiu2scrap]

I love the aesthetics of all of your videos. I live in London, Ontario Canada and we were hoping to visit Scotland this September but unfortunately our dog needed ligament surgery but I definitely want to visit in the fall of next year.

[@autumnritchie1473]

🕯🕯🕯 Cute outfit & love your Fairyloot tote! 😍😍😍 I started reading The Last House on Needless Street & never got to finish it…but I am intrigued & intend to go back to it. I literally never knew the synopsis for Comfort Me With Apples until just now. I want to read. :) Ooo! Small Angels sounds good! I wanted to read Shadow Glass but I didn’t know that it was gothic! This makes me want to read it even more! 😊✨✨ I’m still reading The Secret History but I’m definitely Loving it & it definitely feels like it will be a 5 star read. I do see the hype around it because it is masterfully written. I definitely think it’s the top tier & OG dark academia. I also feel like this would have made a great film in the 90s. It could have sat right next to Dead Poets Society! Love you, my babe! 🥰🥰🥰 I hope you have the BEST Autumn! 🍁🍂✨ Happy Reading! 🤓📚✨

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’m so glad to hear you’re loving the secret history too! Dead Poet’s Society is such a vibe too, adore that film 👌🏻 I hope you have a wonderful season too 🥰🍂

[@SemplicementeSE]

I am reading The Secret History too, and I am loving it!! I underlined the very same parts lol ❤️ It is curious that in the Italian version page 29 is page 41 (the font size seems pretty much the same). I always thought that in Italian we need more words to express the same concept! Hugs from Italy! 🙏🎉🌟

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Hope you enjoy the rest of it! 🖤

[@SemplicementeSE]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction I did! I finished it last Sunday. 😁😎

[@ohtoread]

Absolutely loved this - as always, super autumn cosy vibes! Where did you get that gold stand you put your journals in? I've been looking for something similar for ages to sit on my desk!

[@scrapbookingmuchmore9884]

I cannot wait to read the book! It’s been on my shelf for awhile so now that spooky season has arrived I am ready to read it! 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

[@sarahelizabeth7751]

I'm reading small angles at night by 🕯 and so far it is everything I ever wanted for fall.

[@AbiofPellinor]

Now I've started reading Babel and saw that Kuang was really inspired by The Secret History, I really want to pick it up! And then this gorgeously aesthetic video? Looks like it's going right on my tbr!

[@BookedandBusy]

This was so soothing 🕯

[@audreyhertz301]

🕯🕯📚🍁

[@BookishRaider]

I'm not a literature major, but I've annotated a few books (some heavier than others) over the years. Especially if I'm enjoying the book.

[@thereadingswiftie13]

such an annotated copy! watching this whilst taking a break from reading The Atlas Six, first dark academia book I've read and loving it! 🕯

[@lauramacaskill7553]

Gorgeous vlog 🧡 I'm off to buy Secret History now!

[@StorybooksInn]

loved this video so much

[@wendypridmore2005]

I love Graham Masterton books.

[@jcs3894]

I am wearing headphones while listening to this and genuinely thought a cat had snuck into our office. 🤣

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I too, have no idea how to dress for warm weather 😂

[@ReadingNymph]

Thats what im planning to do, I think I will prefer Secret History upon reread now that I appreciate dark academia 🕯

[@brandimullins3627]

How long had it been since you had read The Secret History?

[@InSophiesBooks]

come closer is such a great read! I just did a reading vlog which included this book. It's the perfect demon possession book highly recommend!

[@tiffanyrich6652]

You made me want to pick up Secret History and give it another try. I think I’m going to go for Hell House instead. I’m in a horror mood.🕯

[@cleg78]

Great to see you back in another video. Eric LaRocca I am reading You have lost a lot of blood!!! Shit me, I would say read it. The one you have which I got from Titan it is just 4 stories I think it is. Be ready for the ultimate in bizarre 😵‍💫

[@cleg78]

I nearly brought Small Angels the other day and don’t know what stopped me tbh

[@cleg78]

I’m sure I have a hardcover of The Shadow in the Glass 🤔 it sounds very familiar

[@cleg78]

Yep I checked I have the hardcover

[@cleg78]

[@cuppa.books.]

If it doesn't have to be specifically reading vlogs you might get on with Randi Lynn Reed

[@angelaholmes8888]

I didn't enjoy the secret history that much 😬
