Spring Weekend Reading Vlog 📖🪴🌼 cosy books & simple joys

- It's mid-April here in Cornwall and the sun is finally beginning to emerge from it's hibernation! Spring always seems to settle much more slowly than I expect. Perhaps it's social media's portrayal of all things spring as soon as March arrives, or maybe it's just my own daydreaming mind that gets a little lost in the fairytale of brighter days and sunny picnics on the beach. Much of Spring is still filled with grey clouds and rain here, and it can be easy for me to forget to make the most of the Spring that is in front of me, and long for the "aesthetic" spring. There is so much beauty to be found in the everyday ordinary. In this season of new life, hope, and glorious nature, there is so much joy to be found in the simple things. And simple joys are what, I feel, Spring is all about.
All this to say, I hope you enjoy this video of cosy reading and enjoying the simple things, like tidying my house with an audiobook, buying myself tulips, and time spent with friends.

Nice to hear that someone else can't get along with audio books, i am like it as well. 🙂📚
I so want to be an audiobook person but my brain just cannot pay attention 🙈
Audiobook listening is a skill like other things BUT I've found the type of book matters.... and I have to be doing things like cleaning or cooking or on a walk. I don't like Audio any more tho since I read more classics and literary fiction mostly and like to read the beautiful language with my eyes and reread passages.
I usually listen to non-fiction, I find them a lot easier to follow 🌻 I can’t concentrate on fictional novels on audio or on a screen i can almost only read them physically 😅 x
Ahh this was so good, Jen! Appreciate your videos ♡
Thank you so much 💛☺️
Loved this longer video and how beautifully it was filmed! 🥰
Aww thank you Em 🥰💛
Another lovely video! I look forward to your videos each time you post one ◡̈
Thank you so much ☺️💛
I love your reading vlogs! I will try your audio book 🥰
Thank you so much Maria 💛 and I hope you enjoy it!

Your reading vlogs always make me smile, they're so heartwarming and peaceful. Cornwall in spring seems lovely (St Ives looks gorgeous!) - but I also lovely the little details you add to bring your season to life, like the flowers, mug and your book choices! xx Yes, I remember getting a little impatient waiting for the ladies to just get on their Italy holiday already since London felt so gloomy, but it is all part of the character growth too, that internal struggle to find personal joy and pleasure with the guilt of needing to serve others :). I totally get what you mean about sometimes needing that physical book sometimes. I am a massive audiobook person, but I usually need to have a physical copy of the book near at hand, and often after listening for a while, let's say on a long car drive to work, I go and check the passages I heard earlier on the physical pages, just to cement those scenes in my head and see if I missed something...!
Because I am currently reading Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky (which is really fantastic, but a bit dark and psychologically intense), I am craving a cosy fantasy so badly and have been eyeing one of Rebecca Ross' books on audible, knowing you love her so much. Would you recommend A River Enchanted or Dreams Lie Beneath first ?
Thank you so much Joy 🥰
The character development in The Enchanted April is so well done, and I love how much it covers a battle so many of us feel in life. I definitely want to get a physical copy soon so that I can finish it! I like your idea of listening to an audiobook, but having a copy on hand to read back over the passages that you got a bit lost in.
Ahh I hope you love Rebecca Ross’ books too! River is probably my favourite, but I would probably recommend starting with Dreams Lie Beneath as it’s a standalone so the story is all wrapped up. It’s a bit more fun and lighter hearted, whereas River is a more slow and thoughtful story (in my opinion)✨
I love your videos, the cosy and calmness is so wonderful! 🥰 I love the Howl's Moving Castle trilogy, granted the first will always be my favourite, but I still love the trilogy as a whole! 🏰🤍
Thank you so so much ☺️💛
It’s hard to top Howl’s Moving Castle, but I just love Dianna Wynne Jones’ storytelling ☁️
I've recently discovered your channel and love your videos! I love getting a warm drink to enjoy while watching them, they're so comforting and lovely! I love how realistic they feel too in terms of how much you read and the way you talk about books...I'm a really slow reader and the amount of books a lot of booktubers read or haul is nowhere near in the stratosphere of what I would be able to read in a week, month or year haha...your channel feels a lot more relatable to me for that😊 I also can't do audiobooks and wish I could! I reread a lot of paragraphs or sentences when reading...to take in all the info and especially if I'm enjoying a book or think it's beautifully written! Audiobooks are hard for me because that's my natural impulse...to ponder over a well written sentence haha! Looking forward to your next video 😊
Wow that is so so kind of you to say ☺️ thanks so much for watching my videos!
And yes I completely agree with you, I love to just reflect on a sentence or passage, and with an audiobook that is much harder to do naturally, unless you have also got the physical book too!
I also struggle with audio books. I have listened to some books and have enjoyed a few but have tried to listen to so many others and just couldnt finish listening. I loved the audio book Letter to my Daughter by Maya Angelou. She narrates it herself and its not hours and hours of having to listen.
I do feel like audiobooks read by the author of the book are such a special thing. The one audiobook I actually did finish was The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, which he read himself, and it was so much more immersive as a result.
I've been feeling like that lately, I want to read but have no clue what I want to read 😅
Glad I’m not alone! I hope you find the right book!
