- my fairytale book recommendations + book shopping
Just a little random fairytale and folklore book collection - at least, my favorites from my collection, which is too extensive to share today. In this video I will highlight books that excite my imagination and inspire me to go outdoors, explore, and find beauty in ordinary things. Hope this adds a touch of magic and whimsy to your day!

I am a huge reader and so happy that I am not the only grown up person who enjoys fairy tales and myths. Thank you Paola, for sharing ✨✨✨
You are absolutely not alone! ❤ I have always loved fairytales and myths.
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
*-C.S. Lewis*
When I was a little girl, I read every type of fairy book I could. I fantasized about being a fairy and living in a large hollowed out tree with a spiral staircase! I am 74, and still love stories about fairies and folklore. I love the idea of mermaids and love the beach also!
Books have always been among my best friends. They have taught me so much over seven decades. They were always there to prop me up during many very difficult times. They have made me laugh and cry. They have taken my mind off my worries. They were there when I was homesick in the Navy. They were there after everyone had left---loss of love, divorce, and loss of my son. From their bookshelves, they stand guard even as I sleep.
I must comment when you mentioned how books 📚 have been your constant companions all your life… I learned as a child the type of person I wouldn’t become because of what I observed, how unkind people can be, and this microcosm of existence must be escaped! Books offered me the opportunity to learn of distant lands, champions of the human spirit and autobiographies of people who DID change the world ❤ We grew up in similar time periods… I just wanted to reach out to you to say you have a kindred spirit in this community Paola has created! I suspect we all share more similarities than differences 🌎
Books were also companions for me as a child; and, yes, they are still companions to me even now. I learned so much about one's character and growth - basically, who I aspired to be as I got older. I traveled to different lands and became immersed in different life paths and backgrounds. Books are timeless.
So sorry for your loss of your son. Glad books help. We are huge readers and lovers of books too. Bless you
@@donnawatson845 Thank you, Donna. Thank God for books when Josh passed in 2014. (36 y/o only child) His Maine Coon cat was a comfort for the next seven years. Willy 'left to play with Josh' on 3/6/21. What a cat! I would lie on my bed reading. (Willy was rather needy and chose me as his therapy person.) As I read, he would shove his head under my book. Then he would try to suck on my neck. When you're single, you probably wouldn't want cat hickeys on your neck. (Married guys probably wouldn't care. HI!) I went to the shelter for many months after Willy "escaped'. One day a volunteer asked, "Didn't you find a forever friend yet?" I pouted and said, "No one picked me yet..." Nighty-night, Donna.
@@rrhines3151 This site provides a nice escape from day-to-day concerns. Many interesting people in our 'new neighborhood'. Each day I visit 'my coffee shop' in Bay City, Mi. I like to read while enjoying a cup of black coffee. The young employees often tease me about my am/fm/cassette radio with earbuds, a pad of paper, a good eraser, and a dictionary. I've never owned a cellphone. Since 2014, I've read hundreds of books and the young people have filled a huge void after I lost my son, Josh. For Christmas, the girls gave me eight gift-wrapped books to read. Another girl left last week to get married so I had to send another 'daughter' out into the world.
In the seventies, I read a lot of Thoreau, R. W. Emerson, Kahlil Gibran, and many of his books. Later Edison, Einstein, Nikola Tesla, James Allen, Wallace Wattles, Charles Haanel, and Walter Russell. Many thought Russell was the smartest man in the world. Einstein did. He discovered and built so many things. He excelled in all the arts. Painter, sculptor, horse breeder, architect, and musician. He brought figure skating to America. He left school at the age of ten. He said it was the best thing he ever did. He gave piano lessons at the age of ten to earn money. He never had lessons. He said 'Everything came from above.' According to the Myers-Briggs test, I am an INFP. Interesting and it seems to hold out. Enjoy your evening. Nighty-night!
Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this little video ❤ and please share your recommendations! I loooove talking about books. I know this isn’t everyone’s preferred video theme, but it always helps me feel a renewal of joy in making videos when I take a quick break to do bookish things, so I appreciate you being here!
Can you make a video on how "u"make the plants in jar (terrarium) ...would love plants themed vids ...I love book vids too ..❤
I think you would like "Half a Soul" 🧚 It's a quick read, kind of a howls moving castle/Emily Wilde blend
For more bookish video ideas -you could make a video about your favourite ya/adults books of all time or maybe some books you've read recently. You could make this a monthly or bi-monthly thing so it's like a nice treat for people who love your bookish videos 🌸
I love all about fairies. It makes me so happy to know that other people believe in them too. I always check out your recommendations on stories that you have read and I'm never disappointed. Thank you!
Beautiful video as always❤ The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, 1955, science fiction story about a group of people in the village who can communicate with their minds and their troubles with others who do not accept them. The story is about tolerance and differences. I have read it about 7 times in the past 25 years😂
I love that I'm not the only person who collects and reads these types of books! I've been told many many times that I waste my money on "kids" books, but it's them I feel sorry for, but me. They're missing out on all the magic!
I love books and I worry about the day when people will no longer hold a physical book in their hands. What a loss that would be with everything becoming digital. I even miss the daily newspaper. Some things can never be replaced and books are in that category. What a joy to cuddle up on a cold night with a lovely book of your choice. Thanks for sharing your favorites! P.S. I am a Romantic at Heart so I love a good love story.
Also enjoy poetry and biographies. Kahlil Gibran is my favorite poet. My favorite book of his is The Prophet. Very profound but relatable advice beautifully expressed.
I so agree with you! I do have a Kindle as I am a massive reader.. many different types. But there is NOTHING like an actual book! And I also like an actual newspaper! ❤
I still love “The Snow Child.” That book changed and charged my imagination!
Me too! It's a perfect read in the winter
One of my best reads this year 🥰
I just went out and bought it! Can’t wait to read!
Oh, that's one of my favourite books as well! 😄
Your bookshelves look so gorgeous as a background 🥰
All the books were 3.5 to 4 star, but this girl in tight blues is a 4.7 star.
While not considered a fairy tale, I really enjoy the Frog and Toad series. They transport me to a nice quaint time and place.
I'm reading the Encyclopedia of Fairies right now and am absolutely loving it.
Paola, indeed do more book recommendations-your recommendations have opened me to a genre of books full of imagination, story telling and innocence 🧚Reading the series Age of Myth by Michael J Sullivan -not my usual reading but a lot of interesting characters in the forest and quite enjoying the imagination of it all. Happy reading everyone 📚
I love the snow child, even if it's sad. .I have kept all of my daughters childhood books, so I can read a fairytale anytime.
I was just thinking about this book 'the snow child' and it really is a great favourite of mine. I wonder if the author has written anymore books.
I recently re read The Borrowers, I had forgotten how enchanting the whole series is. I guess you’d classify it as fantasy, but a warm and cozy fantasy.
I love The Borrowers.
I love the whole Borrower series. Such a charming family.
I think you would love The Bear and The Nightingale series by Katherine Arden. It's a mixture of Russian myth and history and it just has a wonderful feeling to it.
Super recommendations! I know you have a ton on your plate, but have you ever considered doing a reading video for children or…reading for audio books??? I hear the excitement in your voice as you tell about each book and not everyone has that spark! My children loved to be read to at night but now with the digital age upon us, I think tuning into a channel to hear about fairytales and wonder and the soothing tones of your voice, would allow any child to dream of magical things all night. One of my favorite quotes, “Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again.” _C.S. Lewis 🧚♀️ 📚🕯️✨ Thank you for your enchanting channel! 🥰
U r the reason y I don't get stressed much in this stressful World please keep making videos from india
I had the privilege to visit the Trail's End bookstore last fall. It's a wonderful place to spend time browsing!
I really enjoy wildwood dancing by Juliet mariner, Ella enchanted by Gail Carson levine and goose girl by Shannon hale!
Your book videos bring me life!! You could always make videos on the books you’re currently reading, and the books you’re excited to get into next? As a book worm myself - I love hearing anything and everything about books! I always love your content! You do an absolutely wonderful and whimsical job 🤗💫🍄🌸🫶🏼
Yes! Would be wonderful more book related videos💜
Thank you for this little video, and I really enjoyed it. I have ordered The Wolf and the Whale book, as I have always felt some sort of link to Inuit folk. I had a Northern Inuit dog for a little while, called Chaska, who was so like a beautiful grey wolf, with blue eyes, and he was the sweetest nature. I have always loved wolves, and I love fairies too! I am 66 year young, and when walking Madge, my black rescue greyhound, I sometimes see those wonderful dragonflies with the blue bodies, and I feel they are fairies, and I always talk to them, and to the butterflies and bees! We need to feed the child within us, and stay forever young, as you do Paola. Would love to have a video on your animals, and hope that your husband has been able to make that rabbit enclosure outside you mentioned a while back? Thank you again for this lovely video. Blessings and hugs to you, from Jilly & Madge in West Devon, England. xxx
Watched this during an episode of intense anxiety and it helped me calm down and get out of my own head. You made a difference in my life today. And I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I've always been a reader. As I'm getting older I find myself drawn back to children's books and fairy tales. Thank you for these recommendations.
I could listen to you talk about books all day! So enchanting! ❤️
I love these book recommendations! I've already read a few of them and I look forward to reading the others on your list.
On par with these, I recommend The Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden, it's based on Russian folklore and bits of history. Spinning silver by Naomi Novik - based on slavic folktales, The girl who fell beneath the sea by Axie Oh - based on korean folktales.
Hi Paola, I don't read books, but love your enthusiasm and can see much joy is found in reading. Also the wall of books is impressive, makes your home look cosy and welcoming. I always find cottage fairy videos calming. You must look up Laura's Little Corner, Laura's our very own British Cottage Fairy!
(Commenting this before watching the video) - All of your videos are exquisite but your videos about books are my personal favourite because you talking about books seems so so genuine and i personally feel like talking to a friend who loves books as much as I do✨🌸🥀
I agree. I struggle with conversations with people who don’t read, whatever the genre.
I recently turned 71 and books have been lifelong companions and guides.
I read a variety of genres, there are many to entertain and provide wisdom. I have always enjoyed reading to gain wisdom.
I’ve told people that there is wisdom in fiction, too.
How can people not read books??!
Best wishes from Alabama
Daughter of the Moon Goddess was oh so good. I was getting back into reading and really wanted magic and it delivered perfectly.
Also, might be worth checking out: “the uses of enchantment: the meaning and importance of fairy tales” and “Celtic Tales: Fairy Tales and Stories of Enchantment from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Wales” ❤
yes thank you so much my life is full of books and i can never get enough of them. all your recommendations look fabulous i cant wait to read them!
I look forward to your visits to the bookstore, your book recommendation lists and the "why" you enjoy the books recommended. This helps to expand my thinking on what is out there in our book world AND I search for them at our local library. So please, continue to make these type of videos. 🥰
Currently, I am focused on James Herriot. I am enjoying "Treasure for Children: Warm and joyful tales by the author of Every Living Thing. The illustrations by Ruth Brown and Peter Barrett are beautifully done. I also found a video titled "Young James Herriot the early life and education of the beloved British Vet by De Caestecker Lain. What a special young man. From his young life I saw a young man with a pure heart deeply desirous to help animals AND people. He also faced a darkness that is truly eye-opening too that not everyone shares that same belief.
Where did you find the video?
Paola, I used to be a voracious reader until a serious illness changed my focus. I love your words about healing ❤️🩹 your inner child and being your authentic self! I know I paraphrased but I am commenting while listening to this video for a second time! “Daughter of the Moon Goddess” piqued my curiosity and then when you spoke about the Inuit woman who wants to be a warrior offers me an image of me possibly being a warrior against my cancer! 🙄 See, your enthusiasm is contagious 😁 This is SUCH a fun video 📚 Though I’m a senior, my spirited heart suspects we’d have great adventures out in your magical woods and world! I am thrilled you seem so happy living your current life! You’ve shared some of your challenges along your path… I admire and value your talents, attitude and uniqueness so very much! Didn’t you love 💕 reading how the fairies viewed humans?! Sometimes I view humans as quizzical beings!!😂🧚🏼♀️
Paola, I am so happy to see The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making show up on your channel! That whole series is my absolute favorite, and I am thrilled that you enjoy this storytelling too! All your book recommendations are just top shelf. :) Thank you so much for sharing with us.
These book selections are so perfect, thanks for also adding books with beautiful illustrations💖
I enjoyed your books talk. You have inspired me to revisit old and experience new reads in this genre 🎉❤
This came at just the perfect time!! I needed some new book recommendations and will be sure to look these up to see if my local library has some 🥰✨🍄
Aww, I love classic fairytales and an epic retelling of ageless themes of love and magic.
“You hold the map to places only you can see”. I love that quote. It encapsulates how I feel about reading, and why I enjoy it more than watching a story. Couldn’t put it into words until now.
Will be adding “The wolf in the whale” to my list 😀.
Hi Paola. I love all of your videos, especially the ones about books. I am an avid reader of nonfiction, but I like to know what's happening in different genre's of fiction. I think one of your book-related videos led me to your channel. I follow a lot of Book Tubers, and I think a RUclips algorithm put one of your videos into my feed over a year ago. I'm so happy I found your wonderful channel. BTW, I love your book. I even bought a copy for my daughter. She loves fairies, decorating, gardening, and nature. Please keep putting out your wonderful videos. I look forward to them every week.
I also love the fairy tales they brought us in another world in our imagination..
I absolutely adore Howls Moving Castle! Diana Wynn Jones is one of my favorite ya authors.
Paola, you have inspired me to start collecting my favorite childhood books, The Boxcar Children ! Although not whimsical and nature filled, they make me happy. My childhood was full of trauma and books were my escape. Whenever I found these books at the school library or "bookmobile" i was thrilled ! They are written by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Thank you for reminding me of my love for this little escape that brought me so much joy ! 💜
Love that series!
I just added "The Storyteller's Handbook" by Elise Hurst to my wishlist! Thank you for sharing such wonderfull books 🧚
This video made me so warm and nostalgic 😍 thank you so much 💜
I really enjoy your book videos! And you are so blessed to have an actual beautiful bookstore to visit! ❤
The Daughter of the Moon Goddess is one of my absolute favorite books!! Great recommendations!
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me a lot!
I would love to see a similar video about just really light and heartwarming feel-good books you recommend!
I was just talking to my boyfriend last night, that I was hoping you would do a part 2 to your book recommendations! I just finished the audio book version of "James herriot's Treasury for Children " and absolutely loved it. So this video couldn't of come at a better time !
Have you ever read The Swans of Ballycastle? It’s an Irish folktale about three children who were driven from their home by their stepmother and cursed to never return until they heard the church bell, which was damaged in a storm, ring in their village. The children become swans and swim to a magical island off-shore of their village. It’s one of my favorites. 😊
Oohhh. I love hearing about the books on your shelf Paola. Now I have more recommendations when I’m next at my own local bookshop. Thanks so much!
Loved your selections of fairy tale books. Most of them sound so soothing, I will definitely find one to read very soon. Thank you!!
Wonderful video! From one who does limited reading these day, I love you enthusiasm for the you share. Thank you!
I love your book recommendation videos. I would love to see more tours of your book collection, thank you for sharing more books!
I love this books videos!! I was feeling quite a little sick and just tired today, and your video lightened up my day!! Thanks, you are a kind real life fairy
Both my husband and I love books, and tales about fairies. I am so glad that there are so many out there like us. 😍
Every time I catch a glimpse of your bookshelves made by your dear husband, I am awed! Your shelves in my mind are a book tree, & since a tree as such is my dream, every glimpse I catch of your shelves, is a little dream come true for me! I can only imagine sitting in that magical room to read! Thank you for another excellent book ‘picks’ video! I can hardly wait to pick up my order at our library! What did you think about that first book you picked up, ‘How to read a Tree’? Also, do you mix hardcover books with softcovers on your book tree?! ~Sending you my heartfelt love & gratitude~ 💕🌳📚📖🧚🏼💕
I absolutely adore your bookish videos! You always have such wonderful recommendations, thank you for sharing 🤍
I also the Land of Stone Flowers also! It’s a quirky, but delightful book. Thank you for the recommendations, I have enjoyed reading several of the recommend books. Great work! ❤
I love this type of videos that talk about books, it is very inspiring and relaxing for me. I hope you keep posting videos like this in the future! ❤😊
Thank you for your lovely channel and book recommendations! My children absolutely love Heartwood Hotel, we have been reading a chapter each night for bedtime and has become a special addition to their library. ❤
Just letting you know the author of the moth keeper prefers to be known as Kay rather than Katie (which they previously published under). I highly recommend their tea dragon series as well, they are so sweet and bring me so much joy!
Thank you Paola, I will add many of these to my TBR list, I love fantasy stories and especially stories about fae folk.
The best friend in your live are books. I would have liked to live in a world of books. Unfortunately, these days we don't see TV shows about books anymore. No one recommends a book anymore. Every time when I need some peace, I am watching your videos. Thank you Paola for your videos.
I read The Crane Husband by Kelly Barnhill this year. It’s a retelling of the Japanese folktale The Crane Wife. Her retelling is dark. I love Barnhill’s children’s books. I am so glad she is writing for adults.
I also enjoyed the fractured fairy tales of Alix Harrow. She wrote the 10,000 Doors of January and The Once and Future Witches. Her fairytales series are short novellas that begins with A Spindle Splintered.
I looooovvveddd!! The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland so much. Great pick.
You look so pretty Paola! I love how you braided your hair, and that star necklace is so pretty! ✨️
Thank you for sharing your Fairy books with us.
Yes! I love book recommendation videos and I love your taste in books. I’ll definitely put these on my to-read list on Goodreads. Thanks for these! 😊
I think that with your imagination and the beautiful drawings you make, there are certainly several stories you can write yourself....
I so enjoy your videos. Your voice is soothing and makes me feel content and happy. Thank you so much for sharing a little part of your world with us. I appreciate you so much ❤️
Just watching your video motivates me so much to read, paint and write! Thank you so much for sharing your book recommendations, I really enjoyed the video:)
Thank you for sharing!💖
I truly needed some heart-warming books recommendation because I’m having soon an academic translation project that I need to choose a book for. That was very helpful💓.
I think you love fairies in the way I love dragons. I collect books like Dragonology and illustrated Tolkien books, and I have sketchbooks full of dragons I would draw over and over again when I was younger. Now, I'm trying to write about them, and it makes me so happy 🥰 I also love fairies, because I have an aunt who would give me and my sisters illustrated children's treasuries about fairies and little folk, and I have very fond memories of building fairy houses with her---it's still something I do with my sisters occasionally even though we're all mostly college-age. She would also give us little fairies she made out of wire and embroidery floss, with wooden beads for heads and the faces drawn in minute detail in pen and watercolor. She even sewed tiny dresses and shawls with beautiful beadwork on the hems, and made mine a little copper wire crown. I will always treasure those. I've made a few myself since then; they make delightful gifts. There's a book I found at my local library that shows you how, called Felt Wee Folk by Salley Mavor.
Thank you so much for making book video it's really wonderful for a book lover like me ❤
I have three of the books you talked about so I definitely loved this book review! I just started reading the Daughter of the Moon Goddess. The Wolf in the Whale sounds very interesting!
Thank you so much for this book series. Maybe you could recommend books about crafts, gardening, nature?
This was so super enjoyable you are broadening my horizons of the possibilities of good reads ❤
I'm currently reading Legends &Lattes because of your last video on books. İ really enjoy it! I'm looking forward to checking out these as well. Thank you so much 😊
I love your bookish videos, so thank you for this! Maybe you could do a video about illustrated books recommendations next?
I really appreciate this video! I love to read, but it's very rare that I read fantasy and lately I've been wanting to have that experience. Thank you very much for the recommendations!
Maybe next you can recommend us your favorite fairy related, cozy, heartwarming, fantasy movies. Really looking forward for that 🙌🏼
Paola you are so good at this, a natural!
Thank you so much for being the only person to ever mention this book by Catherynne Valente!!🎉 I will recommend this series till the sun burns out, but no one ever talks about it. It's so magical, the characters are wonderful and it's not dumbed down for a younger audience. There are some lessons in there
I'm interested in a few of these after seeing this! Hoping to visit Half Price Books soon so i will look for them!
My favorite comfort books is The Chronicles Of Narnia. They will always be the most magical for me 💜💙
Hello Paola, thank you for this vidoe. I love your videos about books.
I wanted to ask you a very special favor because you are a conservationist and because you have a gigantic audience. You may not be experiencing, as yet, the very high summer temperatures, but most of the northern hemisphere is experiencing super high temperatures from the green house effect that we, humanity, have created over the past 150 or so years.
What helps DECREASE the greenhouse effect is trees. Unfortunately, along with factories, we, humans have been cutting trees. Here, in Miami, where I now live, people cut trees out of greed, to build homes and shopping centers, but individual homeowners cut trees as well because they don't want to bother with the maintenance or don't want a hurricane hazard or want a clean yard without ever considering the longterm, global effects of cutting these trees.
Trees help us. Trees help the environment. They help cut down on the greehouse effect. They help lower the temperatures.
I researched it and confirmed what I already believed.
Please, please spend some time researching this yourself and if you find the same answer that I did, please speak up for the trees. You see many people cut down trees simply because they don't know nor realize the tremendous importance that trees play in the health of our planet. So, your video(s) would educate others and help spread the word around.
Let's save this planet.
Thank you so very much.
To open your library and to be open to share its content is a woderfull idea to be understood and...to understand others
I was looking for recommendations, I have grown a lot interest in fairy tales and poetry lately. Definitely inspired by your lifestyle and videos. Thank you for sharing :):)
Thank you for putting this together. Several of these I had not heard of. Looking forward to checking them out.
I haven't done an update in a couple of weeks - I'm happy to share that we've finally found a house :)
I moved in last week, I'm slowly settling in, ironing out all the kinks and details. My best friend and future housemate is moving in next week!!! I'm so excited, it has been a little lonely here. However, I've taken some time to explore - visiting a renowned secondhand bookstore and hunting for some novels to pass the time. I managed to get my hands on an Ursula Le Guin book - an author which I've been meaning to explore for a long time now. Looking forward to diving into it!
The city is drop dead gorgeous - it's incredible to finally be here. I start work next week, another exciting beginning. I'm a little worried I'll be shakey on my feet, I haven't done work like this for about a year now. But I'm sure it's just like riding a bike :)
To new beginnings! 🥂
Your page makes me very happy! We need to let our own inner kid playfully enjoy the magic fairy tails bring. I hope you keep posting your videos😇💕
So happy you mentioned "The Land of Stone Flowers" by Sveta Dorosheva. I love this book and her beautiful illustrations so much that I took an online drawing class from the author/artist. As you mentioned, her book is a wonderfully weird and imaginative perspective on the fairy world. Thanks for sharing your love of books and recommendations!
I love your book recommendations videos! I saw the last one and I've been reading all those books and love them! Please keep doing these kinds of videos!
I've never been interested in reading fairytale type books until now! Thank you for these recommendations..I am def going to check some of these out! 💜☀
The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett are my favourite fairy books. Tiffany is the best!😊
The children's book "A Fairy Went A Marketing" is a lovely story with darling illustrations that I loved reading to my boys when they were young.
Paola: would you make a video on your favorite dresses and why you choose their colors? ✨
Love this! Thanks for the recommendations. Keep them coming! Please!
Always loved to read and be transported to worlds that we can imagine being a part of! It provides a time to unwind and relax and enjoy different journeys that can be thought provoking or just for the enjoyment and enrichment of mind they offer…to be lost in another world is to be found in your own 🧚♂️🌼🌺🌸
I so love these book videos!!❤ Anytime you would like to make book content, I'm here for it! Bookshelf tours, reviews of specific books, flip throughs...books, books, books!!😊❤
Thank you, I will look into getting some of these for myself and to read to my grandkids. ❤
Yes! Finally a RUclips reader who doesn’t bash Emily Wildes encyclopedia book!
I love these book videos you do and I love all the recommendations in the comments!❤
Love these kinds of videos, and the fairy handbook is adorable, I got it for my niece for Christmas last year, it’s got gorgeous photos in it too!!
Thank you Thank you!!! I love this list! And look forward to diving in!
