Thank you so so much for such genuine words and support! You were an absolute joy to work with and I'm so glad you liked the stories! The pure excitement of seeing the map at the beginning of Mordicax absolutely made our day. For those in the comments please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have! And enjoy the rest of Vlogtober and thank you for sharing this corner of your life with us! 😊❤
And unfortunately we must keep the giveaway to within the UK, so sorry about that!
Ah thank you Ryan! It was a great read and a great map 😄 and I’m looking forward to reading the next one too. Lillia has now stolen Mordicax and she is definitely a fan of YPQ already :)
😢oh well, I love your blog anyway. I do get that postage to Canada would be $$$.
I will like to watch to see who gets the prizes anyway
Videos like this one make people stare at me when I say out loud “That’s it! I’m moving to England” while I’m knitting in a cafe! 😊
Twin beds and an electric kettle in a hotel room and such a great book subscription service! ❤
Thank you for the book suggestions that I can be on the lookout for!
When I was a child I loved the map at the start of the Milly Molly Mandy books. 💜
Oh my gosh me too! 😃
Me too! No books or toys from my childhood survived family changes, but not long ago I found a set of Milly Molly Mandy on eBay ☺️
My favorite read, Where the crawdads sing. The writing is sooo good.

My favourite read of the year has been "Goodbye Mr Chips" by James Hilton. What a little treasure this book is, especially as it was first published in 1934, a delight to read! 👨🎓📖💖
My favourite read this year: Storm in the Village by Miss Reed (Dora Saint). I had a box set for my 60th Birthday in July! 😊🍀👍🎉🎉🎉
My favourite read this year so far has been The Appeal by Janice Hallett. I loved the alternative format. I've never read anything like this before, made me feel like a detective.
My favourite read this year has been A Monster Calls , young adult but so well written and so sad at the end . Your vlogs liven up the day it’s so nice seeing you and your family interacting in such a positive way. I’ve been living with crohns for the last 11 years so I appreciate what you and Dan have gone through
My favourite read so far this year is Affinity by Sarah Waters. Thank you, Sue.
My favourite read of 2023 has been The Agency for Scandal
My favourite read this year was The Good Wife by Elizabeth Buchan . I’d read it years ago but it is still brilliant. I can remember slogging around Unis twenty five years ago - have fun!
Hi Ali, my favourite read this year has been The bullet that missed by Richard Osman, his books are amazing ❤
What a great idea Paper Quest have come up with. I’ve read 33 books via Kindle, Audible and Borrow Box this year but still haven’t finished the one actual paper book I started months ago so it wouldn’t be for me but I have many friends who prefer to always read paper books so I’ll mention it to them.
Hope you enjoyed your food at Wetherspoons. I’ve spent many a lunchtime there during the nearly 40 years I have lived in Preston.
Just lovely! 💛
How good to see you girls on the uni trail together obviously relaxed in each other’s company & you got the twin beds one for the octopus & one for the stick 🤪😳🤣😂
My favorite read this year so far has been The Paris Library. Loved the ending. Mordicax is free on kindle.
Lovely vlog, loving the sound of You Paper Quest.
‘My favourite read’ this year is The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue x
My favourite read so far this year has been Lessons in Chemistry and I'm looking forward to watching the series on Apple.
My favourite read so far this year has to be ‘half a world away’! Lots of elements to it, had me laughing and crying. 100% recommend!
My favourite read so far this year is The Familiars by Stacey Halls. It's historical fiction and the story revolves around the Pendle Witch Trials. Thanks Ali for introducing us to this new book subscription and offering this great giveaway. I always enjoy your vlogs.
My favourite read has been Sunne in Splendour, 🌟 wow it was wonderful and at the turn of the final page I hoped that if I started the book again it would continue on from where it had finished. Edward the 4 and Richard the 3 brought to life in a fantastic Plantagenet saga. I think it’s my favourite book of all time even though it has been out and about for many years. Really enjoying the October vlogs 🙂
My favourite read for this year has to be The Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley.
My favourite read this year has been The Ghost Fields by Elly Griffiths. Looking forward to see more of the university trail.
Oooh I'm currently reading the third of the Ruth Galloway series and it's good to know the books to come remain enjoyable. Thanks for the heads up!
My favourite read this year has been ‘The Well hardened mind’ by Sue Stuart-Smith. A wonderful book and definitely one of my desert island books. ❤
I’ve been away on vacation in Puerto Rico visiting friends and just binge watched your daily vlogs to catch up. Good to see you and the whole fam. 🎉 ~Colleen
My favorite read this year has been the series of books from Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club. I have read all of them and I’m now on the last one ‘The Last Devil To Die. The characters are so lovely and also funny
Both these books are on my tbr!!!
My Favourite Read so far this year was Witch King by Martha Wells. I love her writing, and her focal character tends to fall into my favourite archetype of the sassy outsider looking to belong - and fantasy is my favourite genre so this month's box from Your PaperQuest is particularly appealing!
My favourite read this year was Talking at Night by Claire Daverly☺️
Hope the uni visit went well 🤞🏻❤️
Happy mother-daughter bonding time. 💖. Hope Lillia enjoy the campus tour. Take care.
My favourite read this year so far was The Lighthouse Keepers Daughter by Hazel Gaynor, all her book are great xx
My favorite read this year was a self-published book, "The Egg of Seraphim " by Danielle Kissler. This is also a Fantasy.
My favourite read this year has been... A terrible kindness by Jo Browning Wroe. A sad but beautiful story that moved me to tears. ❤
My favourite read this year was Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris. Good luck with the university adventure.
My daughter went to UCLAN. Brilliant uni. My stomping ground. Grew up in Chorley. Preston had some great night life in the 60s. I’m very surprised you didn’t meet any traffic problems. It’s usually horrible going up from Devon. Xx
My favourite read this year was possibly Babel by R F Kuang although in one of my book groups we have just read Sometimes People Die by Simon Stephenson which over half the group rated as 5*.
My favourite read this year was The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell sooo gripping x
So happy you came to look at UCLan. It is a great uni. Got a first class undergrad there aged 51 a few years ago😊 Staff and student support are amazing. My daughter did her undergrad there and is now back nearly completed her PhD. I live locally as well. I remember when you visited the area for a holiday a few years ago. Halewood is a lovely bookshop. It is the smell of bookshops and libraries I love. If Lilia ends up there will let you know about a lovely charity bookshop out of town centre you would both love. I also worked in research at UCLan after I graduated and I can tell you there is always support there and there has been so much spent on it recently. Anything you need to know will try to help xx
my favourite read although there are a few is the glass terranium
welcome to fun with flags 🤣🤣🤣
You came to Preston!! Hope Lilia enjoyed the tour - I'm on the trail with my 17 year old..lots of hotels and weekends away!
You were treated to a rare sunny day.... if she ends up here let me know....its a great town ... I'm born and bred here... if you need any info give me a shout x
My favourite read this year so far has been The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell. I normally read nice easygoing chick lit type fiction so this was a bit different and I absolutely loved it, I was gripped!! I love the idea of a subscription that introduces you to different genres and also gets to celebrate self published authors, what a super idea. Hope you both had a great time in Preston! 😊
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate the support!! 😊
"Oh there's a map!" love it! My favourite read this year has been "The Old Haunts" by Allan Radcliffe. Love reading every else's favourite reads - will pop back again in a day or so and note them down!
My favorite read this year is “snow flower and the secret fan “ by Lisa see
Love the thumbnail! 😀 📚
Enjoy the uni open days, we visited quite a few, my daughter has ended up at Swansea Uni
My favourite read this year is The animals at Lockwood Manor by Jane Healey. I am enjoying your vlogtober adventures 😀
Lovely to see you in the North again! 😅
My favourite read this year has been the final book in the Jackson Brodie series by Kate Atkinson (my favourite author) Big Sky, which I devoured on holiday as it rained most days!!
My favourite read this year is Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I loved it so much I’m reading it again. The film based on the book is on Netflix at the moment with Julia Roberts playing Elizabeth.
My favourite read is fourth wing and can't wait till book 2 in november
Awesome as ever 👍
My Favourite Read - The Thief Taker by C S Quinn. Awesome read !!!!!!!!
My favourite book this year is 'Poor' by Katriona O'Sullivan, a hard book to read in parts but a very good read by an inspirational woman.
('Fun with Flags, if you know, you know!)
I love your vlogs expecially October once, when I get to see one everyday. 😅 You all are such a lovely family.
Book subscription sounds great, but I always worry about the pressure of having to read the book. Many years ago I canceled my New Yorker subscription, because I was stressing out about always being behind on reading.
My favourite read this year is probably Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. It's one of the Kickstarter secret novels and I got it in ebook and audiobook. It's the first time listening properly to an audiobook and I'm really enjoying it (I read the ebook at the very start of the year but just listening to the audiobook now). Would prefer to have the actual book but as it they were being shipped from America the shipping was extortionate. However I think they are releasing them commercially over here now!
That’s a long drive! I was exhausted doing Gatwick to the Cotswolds, then to Stoke-on-Trent, then to Cambridge, and then to Heathrow. But I’m American and your roads scare the bejeebers out of me. 😂
As an Australian, 4 hours barely registers as a drive 😃
I am in the US but still wanted to share my favorite book of the year so far. Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. So good! I can't wait for the second book to come out
My favourite read this year has been The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers. I can't believe it's taken me this long to read it as the Calder valley is my stomping ground. Highly recommend
I remember that university trail. I felt like I crammed in all of my university tours within a month, although I never went to UCLAN (I was up the road in Lancaster). Saying that, I have actually been to UCLAN a few times for a Young Adult Literature Festival that the publishing department has organised and held for a few years. I couldn’t go this year due to the train strikes but it has always been a fun event of author talks and signings with many, many books involved.
I think one of my favourite reads this year is A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon, another fantasy, but ridiculously chunky to the extent it took me over a month to read.
My favourite read was happy place by Emily Henry 😊 absolutely loved it
My favorite read this year was Red, White and Royal Blue. The winner vlog will post on my Birthday! Good luck, everyone! ❤💜💙💓💛🧡💚
My favourite read this year so far is too difficult for me to choose, so have to go for two - Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce or Other Women by Emma Flint. Great vlog, I'm loving your Vlogtober so far x
I’m in the US so not eligible, but my fave read (hope that doesn’t pick up for you) has been Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Have read it twice as well as listened to the audio book twice. Highly recommend!
My favourite read this year so far has been a toss up between This is Not a Pity Memoir by Abi Morgan and Black Butterflies by Priscilla Morris. So many books, so little time! Hope you & Lillia are enjoying your trip together.
My favourite read so far this year is Unfair Play by Sharron Davies. Such an eye opener
My favourite read this year is Wool by Hugh Howey. I did an online genealogy course with UCLan. Hope Lilia like the university tour. Enjoy your Mum and daughter time x
My favourite read so far this year is The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
My favourite read this year has been Daisy Darker by Alice Feeny 😊
My favourite book is Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse excellent end to her trilogy. Historical women power and pirates. X
My Mum was seriously unwell at the beginning of this year which gave me lots of time to read whilst she spent a month in hospital and then a further month at her home whilst recouperating. I found it very interesting selecting some titles from her reading stash which included many titles I would have overlooked if I had been buying them for myself. Consequently I discovered about half a dozen titles I absolutely loved and would have missed otherwise including the Henna Artist and its sequel The Secret Keeper of Jaipur but my favourite read by far was The Miraculous Music of Clara Martinelli. This was so very different from anything I've read before but touched me in a way no other book has done and I'm still trying to work out why that was!!!!
My favourite read this year has been the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Schaffer. I’m enjoying these vlogs as usual so much, thank you for doing them again! Vlogtober is my favourite of the year (it beats Vlogmas only because it’s my birthday month, hehehe).
Also, had to add: LOVED the Fun With Flags quote, made me giggle a lot. 😂
Ahhh, I live in kent and my daughter left home to go to uclan, she still lives there and works at the hospital now. X
my favourite read this year: 92 pacific boulevard by debbie macomber
My favourite read this year: The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.🐦
Welcome and good bye to my part of the world 😊 I'm quite close to Preston. What did you think of the area?
My favourite read this year has actually been an audio book of Me vs Brain by the famous social media lady who does hilarious mini videos, Hayley Morris. Though I'm looking forward to reading a Harley Guinn graphic novel I bought 😀 x
You have such a good relationship with Lillia and my favourite read has been The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce
My favourite read this year is a series called The Seven Sisters. I’m waiting to find the last of the series. I love your relationship with your girls. ❤️💐
My favourite read this year is The People on Platform 5. ❤❤❤
I forgot to tell you the author. Lucinda Riley.
My favourite book this year has been the Long War by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. But really the whole series has been great, I think Dan would like them. But I've also been enjoying the Disney Twisted Tales, What Once was Mine (alt Tangled) is great.
My favourite read this year is Lessons in Chemistry - fabulous book. Lilia gets more like Dan every day - but much better looking of course. She has all his expressions and way of talking, with the same sense of humour. A chip off the old block!
My favourite read this year this far is a classic : Brave New World . Really enjoyed it and know I would enjoy both the books from your subscription box although the only fantasy I've read so far was Lord of the Rings!
