[vlog.007_24] cosy fantasy weekend, new tech, coffee moments, cosy switch games 👾☕️
We decided to have a cosy fantasy weekend readathon recently on patreon and it was the most wholesome weekend full of coffee, pastries, and of course books! I also got some tech upgrades that I'm super excited about, and tried out a bunch of the cosy fantasy books that people seem to know and love.

Why you not posting 😢I am your new subscriber 🎉
🛁
Lorelai Gilmore’s theme song fits perfectly 🥰
I'm thinking of you, Ashleigh, missing your vlogs. I hope your doing ok and you return to doing vlogs soon x
I hope you’re doing well, Ashleigh. I absolutely love Edinburgh, especially how beautiful it is in your videos. Just wanted to say thanks for all your book recommendations. You have introduced me to the world of Greek myth retellings. Thank you ❤
hiya hope all ok x
im hoping your coming back soon x
Hope all is well with you Ashleigh. 💙 Would love to see this vlog soon but also can imagine life is busy so no pressure. You are missed on here though! Xxx
Has she quit UA-cam? I see her post on Instagram all the time .😢
I looked you up today thinking oh I'm just missing her videos. But nope I was up to date, so then I started worrying about you. Hope all is well and look forward to seeing you again.
I tried to read A Study in Drowning and ended up DNFing it at 30%. I got fooled by the admittedly gorgeous cover, which clearly catfished me with a Hermione Granger look-alike, and no one can convince me otherwise. Sure, the writing is competent and the atmosphere fairly compelling, though the world building felt quite hazy at times with a lot of talk about warring neighbouring kingdoms and a supposed second drowning that's not particularly well explained. However I found the main character Effy to be so insufferable I couldn't bare it anymore and had to DNF the book. The main girl has a one-sided hissyfit with the main guy because he's a half-Argantian who requested the books in the library that she wanted to request (I know. How dare he?!).And so she got so pissed at this completely irrational thing that as soon as she met him she had the most immature, racist, dumbass reactions. I couldn't. A concrete example, also tiny spoilers I guess: Effy had the brilliant idea to walk from the house into the town, without telling anyone, during a downpour in a clearly dangerously unstable cliffside, because she panicked she did a bad decision. And then when Preston had the nerve to save her ass, she goes: "" “Put your seat belt on.” He was trying to humiliate her, to treat her like a child. “My mother doesn’t even make me wear my seat belt,” she scoffed. “I don’t suppose your mother spends a lot of time driving you down half-sunken roads.” She couldn’t think of a clever reply to that. Preston had his seat belt on, and she was too cold and wet to argue. As she buckled herself in, she thought, You are so insufferable. She almost said it out loud. "" Who behaves in this manner? And where is this rivalry they speak of? The enemies to lover thing is a completely fabricated, contrived, one-sided idiocy. Anyway sorry for the rant, different strokes for different folk and all of that.
Hey Ashleigh, I enjoy watching you and the gang's older live shows and I watched the ones for Leguinalong multiple times - if you are fine with it, could you please unprivate (?) the live shows so I can watch them again or give me the links, there were 2 live shows, right? They were just so fun to watch. :)
Thinking of you. Hope you are well!
Just curious if you know if she’s quit UA-cam or just on a break? Thinking I might have missed an ig post somewhere where she mentioned this. I hope she’s well 🤎
@@teakozi5950 nope! Not sure. Chronic illness cares nothing for schedules. Even when you’re a cutie patootie 😞 I quit IG maybe another has seen.
☕ lovely vlog 🤎 and the keyboard is amazing!!
I miss you!!! Hope all is well!
Missing the regular book reviews and hauls. Seems like ages 📚
I feel the same about Serpent and Dove! It's Heartless Hunter for me in the U.S. 😄 I plan to read it soon!! 💜💜 I've heard nothing but great things!
your classics and mythology shelf is impressive. and you have a whole lil juliet marillier shelf! that’s so cool!
🍎 🥰
Let me tell you how happy I was to see Radiance on top
I Love you're vibe😍😍😍
❤❤❤❤ Love this so much!!!
Love this!!🖤
That book was a 10/5 for me! Hope things are well on your end, it’s been months since you posted a video, please come back soooon 🤍🌙
💜
Radiance and Eidolon is my fave romantasy! please read this duology!
If anything, I think you might end up being a BETTER writer having the kind of aphantasia you describe because you would write with heavy world building, very well described and vibrant character personalities, and if you were trying to describe environments, I bet you'd focus more heavily on the sensory aspects like smells, sounds, textures, etc and all that is so helpful to get a person into a story.
Thank you SO much for explaining this! This is my experience exactly and you articulated it so well. People do say "That's so sad" when I say I can't see things in my head, but I've never been able to explain how I do indeed follow storylines in my head regardless. I love that you say it's like knowing people are in a room with you even with your eyes closed and the information is just filed away as things KNOWN versus seen. SO true! Hazy picture sometimes, but yes, world building must be good!
What a nice Vlog. And I really loved the skirt you were wearing in the beginning.
☕️
I just a few books I was wondering if you read or heard of. I got The Family Plot by Megan Collins, The Haunting of Brynn Wilder by Wendy Webb, Daughters of the Lake by Wendy Webb, Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, Haunting of Velkwoodby Gwendolyn Kiste, and a non fiction Chase Darkness with me by Billy Jensen
I recently finished the Crown of Naxia duology, I thought it was a satisfying conclusion.
I forgot which channel I saw, but there seems to be a third book coming out I believe in September.
I just looked on Goodreads and it showed a third book coming out November.
Thank you
🍵☕☕🍵
I like hand tattoos. Gittemary here on youtube has them and yours are quite similar to hers. I think they can look quite elegant and yours are lovely.

Edinburgh is my hometown, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰 it’s truly the most magical place on earth
