There are so many books that you recommend that I’ve never heard of before! It’s always very refreshing although it does lengthen my tbr list by at least 5 books every time
i’d love a book tour addendum! i think our taste in books really aligns but you also always mention books i haven’t heard of :) makes for great recommendations!
Hi Mauve. I feel like I say this every time (cause I probably do 😅), I loove your book related videos. If you make it a yearly tradition, I know a lot of people, including me, would appreciate it. It's cool to watch your collection grow. Yes, please, I would love to see the rest of the books that you keep in your room. And maybe you can show us your partner's books as well, if they're ok with that, of course. Seeing Mariana Enríquez in your bookshelf made me happy. She's one of my new favorite writers. Thank you again for recommending Portrait Of A Marriage. I really enjoyed that one last year. I'm sorry again that part of your collection got lost in the mail. I hope you're covid free now, healthy and having a nice day. Take care 💜
I bought Chuang Tzu's Basic Writings at your suggestion after your favorite books video! You have such a great book collection. Excited to see how it grows by next year!
I just finished The Idiot the other day after you talked about it and I loved it soooo much, couldn't even count how many times I laughed out loud at Selin and Ivan's relationship - parts of it just really hit a nerve because of certain situations from my own time in undergrad. 😅 I can't wait to read Either/Or. Thanks for another video Mauve
i've read the dangers of smoking in bed and it is an excellent book, as an argentine i felt really conected to the descriptions of the places in the tales, i loved it
I felt the same with Things We Lost in the Fire! When she describes the place that little boy stays by the Constitucion station I was like -- !!!! I CAN SO IMAGINE IT. I used to live just three blocks from there
Love your taste in books 💖'Nuestra Parte De Noche' is stunning, one of my favourites from last year (glad we've had this publushed in Poland in like 2020 😋)
mauve, i adore your book related videos ! i always instantly want to read anything you recommend ! you have a beautiful collection, thank you for sharing it :)
I love this video.Sooo tingly,thank u ☺️just found your channel, I’m so exited . Felt immunity to many ASMR Videos, but this Lo-Fi was what I needed 😊☀️🫶
oh i love this! super relaxing and i'll be sleeping to this tonight. i do find it funny though how different the genres we read are! i am mainly a fantasy/sci fi/speculative fiction reader. ive basically only heard of the books you've talked about before on your shelf! there are so many wonderful writers out there!
There are so many wonderful writers out there indeed! I don't read any fantasy, but I read a little sci-fi -- I have a sci-fi-specific shelf where I keep them, though, so I'll have to make sure to include that next time for you! I'm not well-read in that genre at all but I always really love it when I pick something up 💜
I'm so proud of people reading clarice!! she's one of the biggest writers of my country, and she's like our national sylvia plath. I highly recommend you to read Machado de Assis, for me he's the bestest writer we ever had. He literally hanged out with the elite and then hardly criticized them in his books, it's just so iconic lol
Lauren Groff’s newest Fates and Furies is excellent if you haven’t read it yet! One if my favorite books of the last few years. Haven’t read Florida yet…I’ll have to add it to my list!
Love your books, I'm adding some to my list. Also, check out how massive pothos plants can get on Techplant, it blew my mind! I hope you and your loved ones are doing well!
Hope you're feeling well! Thanks for this gorgeous video, it made me so very happy. I've been meaning to read A High Wind in Jamaica since I actually was a child :D
Making some notes for books to pick up in 2023 👀 My sister got me Cursed Bunny for Christmas; it had been on my mind since you mentioned it in a past video. Loved a few stories, liked most of them, but I wish it felt _stickier_, ya know? And then I read a thematically similar book that I liked _less_, which I think helped improve CB a bit more in hindsight hahaha.
YES I know exactly what you mean by "stickier" -- love the way you put it! What was the thematically similar book you read, just out of curiosity? I also wonder if you'd like I Hold a Wolf By Its Ears, or maybe Florida (Groff). In comparison to CB they're definitely less weird but still spooky and, I think, ultimately stickier
@@MauveASMR ohhh these two books look great (especially, I think, I Hold a Wolf By Its Ears). Gonna throw these both on my list 👀They both sound like they might have some of the spark I want more of. The other book was Mexican Gothic! Obviously on the surface they're super different (Mexican Gothic being more of a (very) knowing gothic/lovecraftian pastiche, vs Cursed Bunny's collection of genre-hopping, more contemporary & somewhat experimental form), but they're both playing with ideas around families, legacies, social roles, women's issues, curses, etc. etc. I think everyone I've talked to enjoyed Mexican Gothic more than I did, so I'm willing to accept this as a me problem and not an it problem (hahaha), but I thought it was just *so* unsubtle and, honestly, after reading Cursed Bunny, not particularly creepy or chilling in the way I was hoping it would be. Made me appreciate more in retrospect Chung's range, and how comfortable she is with ambiguity. Had a difficult time really leaning into Mexican Gothic's creepy atmosphere because it was one of those books where like from the first 15 minutes of reading that ultimately everything was going to be okay for all of the good people in the book. (It's funny, I blew through it in like three days and overall mostly enjoyed my time with it, but trying to talk about it at all makes me sound like a huge hater lmao.)
have you ever read “before the coffee gets cold”? haha the title cold enough for snow (haven’t read it yet) reminds me of that book…also you must read the topeka school it is soooooo good! it’s definitely pretty cerebral but it has moments of some of the best prose like ever….it also is vaguely reminiscent of sally rooney, kinda like a smarty pants version of her books
I like how you said "excuse me" to the plant. You have a really nice and relaxing voice. I love books too. I'll have to read some of the ones you suggest, maybe Second place and The Idiot next. I'm currently making my way through Middlemarch by George Eliot. Have you read that? If not, want to read it with me? I'm liking it so far. Great video.
OH goodness you can't go wrong with Second Place or The Idiot! Let me know what you think! As for Middlemarch, I've picked it up but never finished it. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to like it (a similar thing happens to me with Orlando) but I never get into it, so I just keep trying, hoping eventually it will hit me right. So many people with similar taste to mine love Middlemarch, and someone I know even rereads it every year (!!!), and I adored Silas Marner when I read it... but Middlemarch hasn't clicked for me yet. One day!!
@@MauveASMR I know what you mean about Middlemarch. I'm liking it but not loving it. I'll have to add Silas Marner to my list. Thx. Someone reads Middlemarch every year? Wow. Yes, I'll absolutely let you know my thoughts after reading Second Place and the Idiot. So fun chatting about books. : ) W
I DID! It's in my living room bookshelf, so I'll have to show you that sometime! I had to read it very slowly, because of its density and structure, so I just chipped away at it, reading a section or two every morning. I didn't like the curio cabinet / body part sections but could more or less appreciate them, and everything else was very good, my favorite parts being the sections on travelers and also the AIRPORT SCENES eg presentations given there, musings on liminal spaces, etc. Olga just has the wackiest, brightest mind
@@MauveASMR thank you for the thoughtful response! i love the way you talk about books and i've been thinking about trying out flights since i loved drive your plow so much. this was the final push i needed
You recommended Sppedboat to me a while back, which I enjoyed. Not sure if you've read it, or have it, but you might like 'My Phantoms' by Gwendoline Riley.
@@MauveASMR yes sure thanks for considering it. here is a small list of popular Arabic authors Naguib Mahfouz Khalil Gibran mahmoud darwish Tayeb Salih (Season of Migration to the North) is a highly recommended book, you can search and chose any book that interested you by any of them if you like.
“I organize my books by who might like to hang out together” holy shit you rock, mauve
Haha the downside is that only I know where everything is 🤓🤓
There are so many books that you recommend that I’ve never heard of before! It’s always very refreshing although it does lengthen my tbr list by at least 5 books every time
You all in the comments are always lengthening my TBR too! 😂😂

This is gorgeous! Such a lovely, curated collection ♥

No One is good but not great imo 🤷🏻♀️ whereas Never Let Me Go.... !!!!

Pedro Páramo en español!!! 💕🙌🏽✨
Yes Tove Ditlevsen was danish ❤️ - I am danish 🌸
have you considered reading arabic literature? i think you would like it. you can find a lot of arabic authors work translatoid

@@MauveASMR yes sure thanks for considering it. here is a small list of popular Arabic authors
Naguib Mahfouz
Khalil Gibran
mahmoud darwish
