Do you let me know if you have any spring books that you’d like to recommend me too!!

Finally someone talks about the Blue Castle! That book has my heart ❤
It’s such a delightful book, isn’t it?🥺🤎
Half of these books I’m putting on my TBR simply for the cover 🙈 thank you so much for this Ahya 💛
Ps. I love how you unapologetically share your faith in your videos when talking about ideas that don’t align with what you believe. I’m also a Christian & it’s always refreshing to find others in this space 💛
awww thank you so so much for your kind comment!😭🌷 I'm really glad that came across as I want to make sure that fellow Christians have a heads up if a book doesn't align with our faith. I'm so touched that you took the time to notice and to leave an encouraging comment🥺 I'm also such a sucker for cute covers hahaha so totally get it! cute covers are my weakness😫
I'm a Christian also and I have subscribed to both your channels ❤

You have such a wide range of recommendations! I added so many that I’d never heard about before on my tbr ❤️ I love watching this type of video but sometimes the recommended books are a bit repetitive… it’s fun to finally find someone that recommends books that are not be popular on social media !
Aww thank you so much for your lovely comment🥺 I'm so excited to hear that you haven't heard of lots of them before!! I always love finding new gems that I've never come across before, so this makes me really really happy🥰
Daughter of the Forest looks amazing. Thank you.
it really is amazing and so worth a read!! please do check the trigger warnings though if you're sensitive to certain topics as it can be a heavy read at times🥺🤎
I was planning on watching this when you uploaded it but life got in the way, this was sooooo lovely. Thank you so much for all the recommendations 💕 everything sounds great. If I may, I would like to recommend the anime Frieren, I think you would like it 😊 hope you're having an amazing day 💖
awww thank you so much for watching at all!! and thank you for the recommendation - it looks and sounds AMAZING😍 I can't wait to check it out and can't believe I've never come across it before!!🤎
I love cottage core as well! I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to it 😂. The cover of The Wind in The Willows looks beautiful! And love that you added a ‘herbal apothecary, florist and tea room’ section haha, definitely something I associate with cottage core ❤. Also, the way this video was edited is so pretty 😊.
a huge SAME for having Pinterest boards dedicated to cottagecore!🤣🤣 I'm always so grateful for your lovely support Taryn, thank you so much🥹 and I couldn't not include an apothecary/tea/florist section and I'm glad that you associate it with cottagecore too hehehe🤎🌷
❤ so much goodness in that stack!

You are a new favorite!❤

Thank you for these lovely recommendations! I added multiple to my tbr 💗 I’m reading ‘A Fragile Enchantment’ by Allison Saft right now and it mentions flowers and sunshine so much, it’s a perfect spring/summer book
oh yayyyy thank you so much for watching and I'm so happy to hear that you were able to add some to your tbr too🥹🤎 I can't wait to pick up A Fragile Enchantment and am so excited to hear that you think it's a perfect spring/summer book hehe🌸🌷

This spring I’m recommending “Daddy Long Legs” by Jean Webster! It has captured my heart this season and is very Anne of GG vibes!!
All love this season💝🪿
awww thank you so much!! and I've never heard of this book before but I'm intrigued! it sounds like something I'd really enjoy, so thank you for the rec🥺🤎
I love this book! My favourite young adult book of all time!
Lovely 💐
thank you🥺🤎
Your description of Eva Evergreen reminds me soo much of Kiki's Delivery Service! Will have to check that book out soon ❤
oh yes!! I forgot to mention that it really seems inspired by Kiki's Delivery Service🙈 The actual plot plays out a little differently so it's worth reading both of them I think🥰
I love all the book recommendations. I always find it so difficult to find a good method of organising my notion book list. Do you have any recommendations? Could you share how you set up your notion book library by any chance? Love your videos.
ohh thank you so much, I'm so happy that you enjoyed it🥺 and I definitely want to try and share my notion book library setup some day but it's quite simple compared to other people's I think! I like to record all the basic information like the genres, authors, which season it's most appropriate to read in, etc. And then I'll write down my thoughts as I go along (a bit like annotating or journalling in a diary), so that I can look back and see what I was thinking as I was reading it!🥰
i ❤ Blue Castle
isn't it wonderful?😍
So many lovely books! ❤❤ im rereading Anne of Greengables this may, probably thr book ive reread most in my life, together with Goodnight Mr Tom ❤❤ have you read The Other Bennet Sister? A much more deep contemplative, deep and sad regency romance, but in the second half Mary Bennet shines and romance is in the air. So so good 5 ❤ from me! I definitely have to check up A cup of Sake under the cherry blossom tree, sounds very interesting. For picture books, have you read The Brambley Hedge collection? The cutest books ever about cute mice in the English countryside. The pictures are just stunning, with fantastic detail ❤❤
Wow ahya Can I say something You just stole my heart with recommending Snow white with the red hair I love shirayuki specially her courage, kindness, and determination of becoming herbalist I just watched that show more than a hundred times Thank you so much for recommending such a such wonderful book like that and all the books recommended are really healing and amazing ❤
oh my gosh!!! that's so wonderful that you love Shirayuki too!😍 I've yet to finish the show but I can't wait to pick it back up this spring and fall in love with the show and the characters all over again🥺🌸 thank you for watching and enjoying the video😭🤎
@@AhyasCottage it's so heartwarming snow white with the red hair is I am glad we have a same taste and To be honest I am new to your channel but start loving it ☺️😘😍❤️

What screen saver are you using on your monitor? It is so beautiful.
I would love to recommend the book Shady Hollow by Juneau Black if you love cozy murder mysteries. It has anthropomorphic animals living in an enchanted forest. It is such a sweet book with wonderful and imaginative characters.
oh yes!!! Shady Hollows has been on my tbr for a while now actually, and your comment only pushes it higher on my priority list🙈 thank you for your recommendation🥺 hopefully I'll get to it before the end of this year!🤎
2 things: really enjoying The Daughter in the Forest and your Christian values. Never shy away from that. Praying people who are feeling there’s something terribly amiss will soon realize it is God and He wants us to turn to Him✨Happy Easter to all✨
ohhh thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm so glad that you're enjoying The Daughter in the Forest too, and I love being able to meet fellow Christians here so thank you for the encouragement🥰 I hope you had a wonderful Easter!🤎
Have you heard about the Author Ireen Chau? I recently read two of her books (The Herbwitch's Apprentice, The Herbwitch Princes) and LOVED them so much!
yes!!! I remember being utterly in love with her work when I first came across her on instagram - she's so talented isn't she?! I've yet to pick up her books but I can't wait to try and read them for myself one day🥰
i’ve never clicked so fast in my life
