    "Drive your plow over the bones of the dead" sounds like the sickest metal album ever

    Half Polish person here! So the “cz” in Polish is the equivalent of “ch” in English. It’s the same way you would pronounce it in Czech Republic. Hope that helps 😊

    I highly recommend Jane Harper's "Lost Man" for anyone who likes a murder mystery told in an entirely unconventional way, through the eyes of an unconventional protagonist. It doesn't have any astrology tho!

    I recommend “Society of the Spectacle” by Guy Debord. It’s a great read and is very deep if you think critically about it. It’s a great philosophical book.

    Great picks! I really liked Outline (which I picked up in part on your recommendation in a previous vid), and I've been meaning to read Olga. One of my favorite novels from 2019 was Helen Phillips's The Need, which I think you'd like a lot. It's more insightful and reflective than you might expect from the blurbs that focus on the thriller element. And it's about an archaeobotanist; what's not to love?
    From other books I've read this year, I'd also highly recommend Hernán Diáz's In the Distance, Jordy Rosenberg's Confessions of the Fox, and Ottessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Since you liked Trick Mirror (in the middle of it as we speak!), you should check out Emily Nussbaum's I Like to Watch. There are some phenomenal essays included where she argues for the importance of TV criticism, especially of shows that get dismissed as 'for women' by the boys' club of prestige TV. So good!

    • @MauveASMR

    Reading is absolutely my favorite pass time! Totally going to have to check your recommendations out!
    A few really good books I've discovered this year...were Slugs, and Breeding Ground by Shaun Hutson, two books I cannot recommend except if you absolutely love horror like I do.
    Other than that? Its been a lot of books about various topics.
    The Hot Zone, and Crisis in the Red Zone, Richard Preston.
    The Doomsday Machine...which was a book about a US government worker and his quest to prevent a Nuclear War in the climaxes of the Cold War.
    A book about Nuclear Accidents, a story of "every" recorded case of nuclear power going wrong.
    From a woman in the 1800s walking around with a neckless that glows a pretty blue.
    To Chernobyl. I haven't gotten to check it out, but for my birthday on the 10th. I've gotten a HIGHLY recommended and reviewed book called Midnight in Chernobyl. Goes over the complete construction, explosion, and far reaching to this day effects of the disaster.
    I've dove into science of the universe, things like Astrophysics For People in a Hurry, The Hidden Reality, Something Deeply Hidden, The Number of the Heavens.
    All dealing with the concepts such as the Multiverse.
    A lot of these books aside from Slugs + Breeding Ground have been nothing but educational scholarly novels. Broken down to a simplistic understanding. So just about anyone can walk away informed.
    There have definitely been others. But are more so horror reference books. Or not currently read.
    You can see where my fears, interests, and more collide. 2019 was just a kick ass time for learning.
    Thanks, again Mauve.

    This video is just so perfect, and had me asleep pretty much instantly last night!
    I read 'Flights' by Olga Tokarczuk, and loved it, so will put your recommendation in my wish list for Santa to take note! Have you read any of Rachel Cusk 's earlier work? I don't think there's been a book she's written that I didn't like, she forms such beautiful sentences. 'Arlington Park' and 'Country Life' are I think, my favourites of hers.
    'And Then There Were None' is a really great Agatha Christie, if you fancy another one.
    I really enjoyed 'Rebecca's Tale' by Sally Beauman, in which we get to hear Rebecca's version of events...
    Thanks again for this stupendously enjoyable and relaxing video in the midst of all the pre-Christmas craziness :D

    • @MauveASMR
      @MauveASMR  4 года назад +1

      I mentioned Flights in one of my other book hauls / recommendation videos! So I'd check the book playlist for that. The short of it is: it's very good, for me I found it better to read just a few pages at a time, I didn't love the curio cabinet throughline, I loved the travel throughline, I liked Plow more
