i'm so happy you included patreon sprints clips hahhahahaha i'm cackling
It had to be done
I like the name Snake plant more than what it's called in Australia "mother-in-laws-tongue". It sounds prettier and more to what it looks like.
Your nails are gorgeous! Your nail artist did an amazing job at bringing the book cover to life.
I really have to go to yalc next year it looks like such a fun time.
was so lovely to meet you!
You too!! I hope we get to again 🥰
Loved this! Ashleigh & I’m having extreme fomo from your guys’s vlogs🥹😍 but so glad you enjoyed it! 🦇🤎
I love the short hair!
Thank you 🥰
Great vlog Ashleigh! Love the reactions during Patreon sprints 🤣🤣 I need to burn my eyes hahah
This was the perfect video for such a sunny weekend ☀️ Thank you so much for sharing your experience at YALC. I have never been and can completely understand the anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed 😳 but I can see you have made some wonderful memories and even more friends 😊 Those Patreon clips were the best and those excerpts were pure cringe!!! Here’s hoping your next reads are phenomenal 🤗 🌑🦇
Reading vlogs are some of my fav videos to watch too. Love how yours always have such relaxing/cozy vibes.
🦇
I have been super anxious lately and just binging your videos. They bring such a sense of calm and I enjoy them soooo much
I love your channel, and your estetic :D You really made me laugh out loud with the reading sprints clips, that was hilarious :D
I laughed so hard while watching your reactions to Gothikana hahaha. And I also loved the YALC vlog! I hope to be able to attend one day 💜💜
Omg I’m so excited, you just mentioned gothikana and I was in the frolicking sprints where you were reading some terrible lines… I can’t wait for this lol
I'm so happy you had a great time! I definitely got FOMO from seeing all the pictures but my heart is full for you all that you got that time together.
Loved this! Ashleigh & I’m having extreme fomo from your guys’s vlogs🥹😍 but so glad you enjoyed it!🦇
I saw u, becca, gav and codie in Comic Con but chickened out of saying hello 👋 didn't want to overwhelm u guys with a fangirling viewer lol. I was looking at a jewelry stall and turned and u guys were looking too lol. X
I only went on Sunday and after a couple hours I had to leave, I loved it but it was overwhelming.
Hahahaha your rant about Gothikana is hilarious 😂 👻
The typos in Gothikana...
Anyway, hopefully I'll make it to YALC next year!
I went to YALC back in 2018 and based on the vlogs I've seen, the space you had on the inner ring balcony(?) would probably be equivalent to the space back then. I was a little underwhelmed by the stalls etc. However, I was also there alone - no bookish friends lol - and my anxiety was awful, so I was definitely overwhelmed in that regard 😅
Edit: also just wanted to say how much I relate to your experience of asking for breaks all the time. While I don't think I have chronic fatigue, I get a janky knee and back pain sometimes, so I always feel like I'm burdening my friends for going anywhere with me and having to stop and wait all the time 😭 it's nice to know that I'm not alone in having to do that
So happy you had a great time and that the social part was so good. Wonderful!
NOT SQUELCHED, OH MY GODDD 💀💀 I had to pause the video to gather myself when you said that holyyyy 😂
hey ashely,
omg im one of the first ones here. I am currently reading a book called nevertell by Katherine Orton. it's so good and cosy. it's about a girl called Lina who runs away from a soviet camp in Russia only to be caught by a witch. I think she has powers herself something to do with plants but I'm not very far in yet. Does that sound like something u'd read? you have a lot of pretty plants hiding in the background of your videos. the weather in the book is cold and snowy. I think you should read it if you haven't I really think you'd love it.
I also love your jewellery you make me want to try your aesthetic. I got my third lobes done the other day I might try an ear combination like yours if it suits me :).
by the way, have u ever tried making yourself a cinnamon dolce coffee at home? its so easy equal parts light brown sugar, white sugar, and water and you can just heat it in the microwave till it dissolves then let it settle and thicken in the fridge or you can put brown sugar and cinnamon with your coffee in a french press and let it sit for five minutes. press it then you have a cinnamon coffee
sorry for the long comment ♡
Don’t apologise for a long comment! I love it ☺️ I’ve heard good things about that book! I hope you enjoy it - I’ll have to check it out. I haven’t tried Cinnamon Dolce coffee but it sounds lovely! I love cinnamon flavourings so I’ll have to give it a go aha
@@AFrolicThroughFiction thank u and I can’t wait to hear how u like it if you do try it the coffee and the book 🌸 😂
love all the things you bough! Love that jade dragon. So cute! 🦇
Wow your nails are amazing! Glad you enjoyed your time away.🧙
Looks like you had so much fun!! Omg Gothikana sounds like a whole issue 🤣
Love the look of Monster in the Woods but can't find anywhere to buy it from.
I’m obsessed with that jade dragon 😍🦇
Ugh looks like so much fun 😩
I died laughing when you were reading excerpts from the book and laughing/gagging the whole time. It’s giving early days poorly written fanfiction
Genuinely though 💀💀
here we go here we gooooooo
👀👀
That is some amazing loot! :D
Great to meet you 😊
🖤🖤🖤
Love you haul 😘
Omg wait what is that tiny monstera??? I need it!!
Idk which you mean but it probably is just a tiny monstera 😂 I had a giant one that broke off into many babies aha
@@AFrolicThroughFiction oh wow I've never seen one so small! It's ADORABLE
Great. Vlog 🧛♂️🕷🧙♀️
That is disappointing about Gothikana (is that how you spell it?). I think I will give that book a pass. I do like that crystal dragon, and the big crystal you got. It is quite interesting you hold up Monster in the Woods because I believe I saw that recently. I went to the art gallery yesterday to see their queer exhibition and in the gift shop that I always go to it had that on one of the tables. I walked away with an art nouveau poster of The Kiss by Peter Behrens from the exhibition, and I also brought a jar of jade quartz.
💚🍄
I removed Gothikana from my wishlist so quickly 😂😂
*gothic emoji for the god awful book* 🦇
I did spot you at yalc but I was way too nervous to come say hi.

Thank you for stopping by 🥰
So I have one question about that awful book. Do you know if the author speaks English as a first language? Not to defend the lack of proofreading but that might explain looked/looking and similar errors.
I don’t know, there’s very little information on her (hence the pseudonym). But considering she has many books, I’d expect some level of editing/proofreading by now :/
Sounds like you have Fibromyalgia?
Possibly, just diagnosed with chronic fatigue for now but something we’re looking into
Good you are looking into it. I was diagnosed back in the day when it was still a "made up" illness. Here in the US you have to be seen by a Rheumatologist. They litterally have to rule out everything else. It's a lot of testing but good to know in the end. Hope you find some answers soon!
Oooo that fairytale book is beautiful! Also speaking of fairytales I sent u a dm on insta 👀 lol it prob got sent to your spam 🤣
My DMs aren’t open so it won’t have come through I’m afraid!
