My vote is custom tote bags for summer. So we can haul all of our books everywhere with us! This also creates an item that is at a much lower price point for people who are unable to purchase the sweat shirts.
Yes!!! Tote bags for summer! @DarlingDesi
Yes, that would be perfect!
Ditto! Tote bag!!!
Yes!!!!
Great idea!

Oh my goodness thank you. I was scrolling through the comments hoping someone posted the titles!
You are an angel, thank you so much 💖 💞
To be a plus size person living in Australia and have my fav youtuber come out with winter sweat shirts, in time for us AND in larger sizes means so much!! I can't wait to get one
Agreed! So excited!❤
I’m 55 Desi, Brambley Hedge is one of my all time favorite illustrated series!🌸
Idk what you do differently but your videos are the only ones that I save for watching completely undistracted and undisturbed all cozy with some comfort food. And I never have the urge to do this with any other youtuber. Whatever magic it is I appreciate it so much that you do all this
Me too.
Same! 💞
Same here
same!! whenever i need a completely comfortable cozy happy time i go straight to desi’s channel
My morning: curled up by the window, thunder storm rolling outside, hot tea in hand and this video on my tv. I swear I've never felt this excited about the changing seasons until I started following you. Thank you for creating and sharing your content 💕
PS. Summer sweatshirts are a VIBE ☀️
Loved this so much Desi - thank you! Fun fact - I’m a relative of Georgette Heyer’s (or I was, obviously. She died in the 70s). She married a Rougier, which is my family name.
It wasn’t too harsh a winter here in NY, but I am glad things are starting to warm up. Tulips are popping up all over my community! 🌷
I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up and saw a second upload from you this week! Never have I gotten quicker out of bed 🥰 Thank you so much for all the lovely spring book recommendations and I'm so excited for your upcoming launch! They all look perfect 💖
Yay Brambley Hedge! I had the 4 seasons one growing up. I wholeheartedly agree it’s good for adults to read children’s books. I’m lucky as I’m a primary school teacher so I get to read kids books daily and not feel silly 😂❤
Wholesome ❤️
Also a book recommendation!! If you haven’t read (a children’s book) The Adventures of Miss Petitfour, you NEED to!! The cover alone is SO spring, and it’s such an adorable, whimsical read about a woman who goes on adventures with her MANY cats (all with super quirky names!). And the illustrations are super charming! 💚
Sounds great 😸 U had me at cats

It’s so refreshing to see what’s happening on the other side of the world right now, and it gives me a sprout of cheerful sprin even though it’s the middle of Autumn here in Australia. Guess it’s time to re-watch a few dessi Autumn videos…. 🍁 🍂
Same, going into autumn and watching autumn videos from her ♡
This is a gorgeous video, I love spring! James Herriot’s books are lovely and, if you haven’t seen it already, there’s a show based on his books called All Creatures Great and Small. I’m not sure where it airs in America but it’s worth watching 🤍☁️🌷
If you like funny Regencys, I suggest The Phantom Lover by Elizabeth Mansfield.
If I were going to have a sweatshirt with a saying, I'd take it from the character Amelia, who frequently asks the other characters, "Would anyone like some tea?"
I haven't read it but that would be a great quote regardless!!
Seconded!!
I think you would enjoy the Miss Read books, set in the Cotswolds (England) in the 1950s. They are really based on the memoirs of a village teacher. So wholesome and cottagecore. You should check them out.
Desi, you should try reading "My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel" for summer! It describes the beautiful nature and the calm of just being alive. I believe you will lose yourself in the scenery. The details of the relationships between the family members is heartwarming and so sweet. Then the magic of Totoro comes alive filling your life with mystery. It's so amazing. I want to share it with everyone. Please read it!
And the sketches are magical!
You radiate springtime beauty Desi 🌷🎀 congratulations on your new spring enthusiast collection! it’s autumn in Australia and I am ✨ living ✨ for cosy reads and all the snuggles in my “mentally in stars hollow” sweatshirt 🍁
I’m so excited for Most Ardently and Kindred Spirits Club sweatshirts! And those book recommendations went all into my TBR! Also Desi, if you loved the Wisteria Society book you will LOVE the second book in the series! The Gentlewomen Witches is such a fun read, more open romance than the first book, but just so wholesome and sweet ❤
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous recommendations 😍
I think C. S. Lewis said that a good children's book applies to all ages. And I couldn't agree more 💐
You would like Randi Lynn Reed,RUclipsr. I think!
This made me so happy!!!! I grew up spending my summers on Prince Edward Island and every winter, my family would watch the old “Anne of Green Gables” movies. I am most DEFINITELY getting one if not 3 sweatshirts ❤️
You would like RUclipsr Randi Lynn Reed then,
check her out.
I read the lady’s guide to fortune hunting, and I loved the descriptions of the balls and dresses and I thought Lord Radcliffe was so charming! Highly enjoyed!
I feel like if Anne Shirley would meet you Desi ,you two would probably be best friends.😘
Hi Desi. Thanks for the beautiful, aesthetic videos you make. You make my life so much better. I always look forward to your videos, especially the book hauls and recommendations. Can you do a video on your entire book collection? I know I am asking for too much but I would love to see it.
I think you would also like Randi Lynn Reed RUclipsr!
You are only recommending books and you still made it so aesthetic and calming. Amazing hahhaha.
I LOVE the sweaters btw, don't know which one to choose!!!!!
This is so funny, I woke up two hours ago and spent these two hours reading. Now I just opened youtube to see if you posted something and here it is this video! Thank you a lot Desi, you saved my life!
if it remains a seasonal theme, i like the idea of naming your “merch” SEASONAL SWEETS since it is such a treat 🦋🤍🦋
I love that 🥹
Don't know if you've read it, but I love the Brontë Mysteries series by Bella Ellis! It's a series where the sisters investigate and solve crimes in the English countryside 💓 they come in super cute editions and are so perfect for early spring!
I love these books! I think I did hear about them from Desi, in an autumn video perhaps. They are so charming and cosy. 🙂
@@margaretforsey7763 They really are! 🤍🤍
Love your book recommendations, they always became my favs of the year! Mine is "A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder" by Dianne Freeman. Is the first book in the Countess of Harleigh Mistery Saga. They can be read individually and they are kind of a 1890-1900 Agatha Christie misteries. Highly recommended.
I watched an old spring book video in March, and you recommended I Capture the Castle. I’m nearly finished, and I LOVE this book!! Thank you so much. Your book recs have reignited my love of reading!
What a treat! Two videos in a week! I hope you are healthy and happy, Desi! I can't wait to see how your life unfolds in New England! 😍🥰🤩
Definitely a treat!!!!!!! Made my day!!!!!♥️
This reminds me of the old book videos you used to do all the time, love it! I hope you continue to make more book videos. I always love your recommendations and always end up buying more books. Thank you for taking the time to makes these videos Desi!
That dress! That hair! That mug! Those kitties! And books 😍
All the content I needed today ✨💜
First time reading Anne of Green Gables at the moment (after a long reading slump) and I’m loving every second of it! There such an appreciation for life and living in Anne and there is also this gentle wave of nostalgia -the book has captured so vividly how it’s like to be a little girl in general but a girl with a wild imagination that gets her in trouble in particular.
The spring sweaters came out great! Lovely colour selections, particularly the lavender ‘kindred spirits club’ one is so dreamy! I would so much like to get my hands in one of those -spring is such a special season for me!
After many years of battling with depression and anxiety and a few years of therapy my therapist had suggested at some point during springtime to engage in small, frequent walks around my neighborhood. It was like I was witnessing spring for the very first time in my life! Everything was so vivid yet gentle and ethereal, it was as if the very light was pulsating a beckoning towards me. I have spent so much time inside my head and indoors that I forgot there is a whole world outside to observe and love and take part in and it was in spring that I finally, truly, realized this and how far I’ve come.
Thank you so much for your videos Desi. You’re such a sweet and genuine person, and I’m wishing you every joy. I hope you’re having a beautiful day! :)
two Desi videos in a week?! my day had been made. your work is simply magical, never stop! by the way, that dress looks stunning on you ❤
Hey Desi ! Thank you so much for the video, it made me smile so much and got me so excited for spring 🤩🤩🤩 I have a book recommendation: The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton. IT IS SO AMAZING! Think time travel meets Jane Austen meets regency and current times Bath meets libraries 🤩🤩 I’m reading the second of the series now and I just couldn’t put it down, it’s so so good!
Blonde and pastels look good on you darling! You look so fresh and so pretty!
Okay I added most of those books to my Goodreads! And those merch colors are so pretty!
I didn’t discover Anne of Green Gables until I was a mom with young boys. I would self care(before we called it that) and take a bubble bath once a month (or so) while my husband watched the boys and gave mommy a break. Scented candles, some classical music and something enchanting to read (like Anne or a new issue of Victoria magazine) was a wonderful escape. By the way the sweatshirts are lovely and it’s so nice that you are offering them in a wide variety of sizes. I live in an old farmhouse and while I’m hot natured I find I’m often chilly in the house even when it’s warm outside. Think I need one of those kindred club ones!!! ❤
I want to own every single one of those sweatshirts 😍
I think aprons for the summer could be cute ❤
Aprons! Yes!
I highly recommend, for pandemic reading, A Gentleman in Moscow, for reasons that will become apparent early in the book. I plan to reread it now that the film, initially postponed, is going forward with Ewan McGregor.
Omg, I just finished Gentleman Moscow and loved it & reread it. My friend recommended to me as all time favorite of her entire book club! Please do give it a try by Amor Towles. Thank you for 2 videos! I hope RI is agreeing with you & climate will help your health issues recover. Btw I worked in Cambridge Boston 5 years, ( now back home to California) and have 2 recommendations for your exploring. 1) chocolate shop in Brattle Sq Cambridge "L A Burdick" and 2) Simon Pearce glassblower gallery & restaurant Quechee Vermont- magical! Sorry for the long comment. Cheers Maggie 😎 California
Another new Desi video so soon? We are so lucky! I always love your book recommendations. I put them on my to-read list at the library. 🙂💕 I am currently reading ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ which I first heard about from you! (I am loving it!)
Oh yay!! I honestly had that book on my list for this video but somehow forgot to include it when I sat down to film ☹️ It’s definitely one of my favorites! I hope you love it 🥰
A lovely video. I think The Secret Garden and Lady Chatterley's Lover make for good Springtime reading 🌷🪺🩷.
Okay but the blue on the"I smell snow"-sweater matching Lorelie's scarf from that exact scene made me so happy
The James Herriot books are so funny. They made me laugh out loud on the train into work. I got funny stares. x
I smell snow!!!! I love it!!! ❤❄️
I really appreciate the open door/closed door romance disclosure. Thank you!
Sorry for another comment but just wanted to say that if any of you love The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Armin you probably would love the film from the 1990s, it is absolutely adorable and heartwarming and sweet! (One can see it even if one has not read the book, it is just as lovely)
If you haven't already, treat yourself to watching the 2020 adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small. It's about James's adventures as a young vet in Yorkshire and the cast, sets, scenery and details are stunning. Perfect escapism.
Beautiful sweatshirts.. I definitely recommend “Wind in the Willows “ The story is set at the beginning of spring, illustrations are lovely. Growing up in the U.K., we read many classics and I think you will thoroughly enjoy and add it to your Spring collection. Thank you for sharing the simpler things in life
omg, james herriot was the first book i0ve red when I was a little girl, maybe 8/9 year old, and I love all of them!! when we went in our summer house on the hills, I'm into deep dive in the cottage living, animals, walking trough the woods beyond the house, play with bunnies and chickens. This book reminds me all of this beautiful memories, and my love for animal nature and cottage. You'll ruin me with all the books that you've suggest and that I love. just now, my nightstand is a pile of books. the same for the windowsill and much more parts of my bedroom. XD my cat sleeps on my books XD I love your sweatshirt, I want the green of Anne the baby blue and the lillac for sure, and maybe the white one!! I'm still waiting super excited !!!! I'm already registered!! thank you sweetheart love your video as always and you're adorable with those vichy pink dress..
living in New Zealand now and so happy to see you having international options! I love everything you share!
I hate spring, because my depression gets unbearable this time of year. March and April are the worst months for me. When the trees are green, it goes away. Sadly, this year, winter seems to be never ending here in Norway, so the trees arent budding any time soon. But I still love these spring videos! And I also love "Here comes the sun" and it suits your videos so well. The song is a sonic sun beam. Bring the Beatlemania to the next generations!
Lovely choices for spring reading. Loved Brambley Hedge as a child. Love that Agatha Christie Sinister Spring has a mention. Loved the winter and Summer editions. Reading Persuasion by Jane Austen at the moment. Love your RUclips content. You encouraged my 12 year old daughter that reading classics is fun and cool.
Couldn't have asked for more today. Thank you Desi ❤
Watching your video for the first time is a very special ritual for me, I have 4 kids and not alot of time for myself… but when you release a new video, I always wait untill I am by myself, with a nice cup of tea, a cozy blanket to watch. I do not want to have to press pause 😅 Then I watch it a second time with my daughter who is twelve, she absolutely adores you 😊 Can’t wait to watch this one!!!
What a list! I’m thrilled to be included in these dreamy spring reads and now my TBR stack is bigger!
You're so inspiring Desi! I hope you have a wonderful spring!
What a wonderful surprise to see your book haul video 🌷🌷🌷
I'm happy you posted!
So excited for the merch ❤️
What a lovely treat to wake up to a new Desi video!
Yes! Spring Desi is here!🌷
Thank you so much for including a warning about whether a book does or doesn’t include steamy scenes! Its really really helpful
Feeling extra springtime blessed with all this Desi content!
I look forward to these videos every season! You are a ray of sunshine Desi 💕☀️
I actually rewatched your old spring favorites video this morning, perfect timing! 🥹🌸
So excited for your launch!!!! Geeking out!
Keep your health and well being in my prayers. Thank you for adding beauty and joy to the world 🌸
I read through the Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels SO FAST, that I'm back for more book recommendations. I truly LIVE for your book lists, Desi!!
Edit: Finished A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting and back for more book recs! Thanks Desi for making my spring so wonderful with these stories. 💐📚
You would like RUclipsr Randi Lynn Reed, I think.
I love these videos where you share your reads, great recommendations
Your videos are so soothing for the soul! They’ve helped me so much with slowing down my life to focus the present moment more and I’m so grateful for the work you do to spread your positivity and tips and just general loveliness with anyone that comes across your channel :)
A video I would love to see from you in the future is tips on finding the joy in keeping a tidy and clean house? It’s something I struggle with staying motivated with on a day to day basis since moving into my own space and I quickly get so overwhelmed. How do you make space in your day to keep up with those chores while not considering them a negative or “boring” part of the day? I’d love to find more enjoyment in cleaning!
i am in love with this ❤ i can’t wait for the spring to finally come
I’m so excited that you included the winter ones too!!
OHMYGOODNESS! A lightning bolt of EXCITEMENT seeing the Brambly Hedge book! They were my favorite books when I was a kid!
This video was so unexpected! You made my weekend, Desi ❤
So happy to see you post new video! I'm saving this for an afternoon tea watch.
Enchanted April is such a good movie as well! Thank you for all the recos!
Definitely want the Most Ardently shirt. I love subtly geeky stuff.
i can not wait for the launch, thank u for all the lovely videos you are amazing
this is so wholesome🥺
I’m so excited for the launch and that you’re releasing the winter collection with the spring one because I’m definitely a winter enthusiast✨
Love these recommendations!! I added one I had never heard of to my to-read list. Thank you.
I'm SO ready for spring! I love that blue on the spring sweatshirt..it's perfect!
I just love your merch! Keeping my eyes peeled for the launch!! 💛💛💛
Because of you I watched ann with an e and feel I’m love with Matthew. Now I just got the “real” books and starting next week
I loved the book recommendations so much!!! I added some to my tbr list! So excited to read them ☺💗
I love your movie recommendations too!!
Just seeing this video on my recommended brought me so much serotonin! 🌸
So nice to get two videos in a week from you!
I have never seen the Gilmore Girls, but I totally love the one with the, “I smell snow”. This is one of my super powers when it comes to smelling who is cooking what and what house. I can also, smell snow. It baffles my mind that we can smell rain, but not many can smell snow. But I am one of those that can.
Thank you for your amazing videos, I learn so much.
I'm obsessed with all the sweatshirt designs!! they are beautiful😍
Desi!!!!! Your decorating of your home is SO beautiful!!!!!!! You truly are inspiring!!!!! Thank U Desi for all your work you put into your videos! They are SO beautiful! U are SO beautiful!!!!!!🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷
