THE PERFECT COLLECTION DOES EXIST! Thank you for creating these beautiful magical whimsical booksleeves and bookmarks with me sweet friend! Its been an actuall dream! 💖💖💖💖💖And friends, be sure to order by April 7th!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This has been a dream come true!! Thank you for working with me to help me dream this dream to life! You are the absolute best!! 💗🫶
Beautiful collection of books. Love your outfit and tea ideas. Have to ask.....is it safe to eat after your cat?
@@jeanmullins3284I don’t really think so (no hate Desi 💗)
@@jeanmullins3284Haha I cut that part off and let D’Artagnan have a little, then threw the rest away. I love Gatsby to pieces but won’t eat something after he has licked it 😅
@@DarlingDesi just curious. Thanks for your reply.
It looks like my comment was deleted! I was just writing to say as a bookseller for over 12 years please support your independent bookstores and don’t purchase books on Amazon. Like in an earlier video Desi said having a bookstore nearby was important to her. Amazon has closed thousands of bookstores and supporting indie bookstores supports your local community and creates jobs. If you’re a book lover please consider calling your local bookstore where they can special order you almost any title and ship it to your house if you live far away. We also give great recommendations! I’m not trying to be negative I just think it’s important to support bookstores if you love books!
I was looking for this comment!! So true 👏💕
I ordered a book from amazon once and it came looking like a train wreck and it wasn't even the correct book I bought. It was a completely different book. Never again. I now special order from my nearest indie store Booklore. They always get it right and their books are always prestine.
One of my favourite ways to spend a day is to visit a village/town, here in The U.K. I’ve never been to before and seek out an independent book shop. And if they have a cafe attached, well, I’m there all day 🥰🤣. Both my daughter and I refuse to have kindles as there’s nothing better than physically holding a book.
Where do the bookstores buy the books to sell you? Can't we order them ourselves and cut out the expensive middle man?
@@molliesmomma bookstores with cafes are the best!!
You went to a ball, have your own book sleeve collection, AND are moving to England!! What a magical time! 💚✨✨
I've never thought about it like that 🥹💗
@@DarlingDesi very very happy for you, and hoping this is just the beginning of magical things to come for you 💚✨☺️
It is SO wonderful to watch your magical dreams and adventures continue to unfold! ✨️🦄🌸🌼🦋💐✨️
Is anyone else feeling Bridgerton vibes from this video? I could imagine Lady Whistledown narrating the intro, it’s just breathtaking and your joy is infectious 😍🌷 loved seeing your lovely new Spring reading treats and congratulations on your book sleeves! 📖🦢
Thank you so much 🥹💗
No
@@DarlingDesi could u do a bridgerton themed video? 😍
Yes!!! I hear lady whistledpwn on all the narrations!
Yes!!! ❤
Desi you are a master cinematographer!!!! Every video you create is more and more beautiful! I personally love Fall more than any other season and I always have. Summers fun and I look forward to it because of the annual roadtrip my husband and I take with our two kiddos. I don’t typically care much for winter because it’s dark, cold and dreary. I also have never really cared for spring because it’s always felt more like a filler season. That being said after finding your channel a few years ago I can honestly say I look forward to each and every season (even Winter!) lol because each season brings new and exciting content from you. Thank you for sharing your art with all of us!
You are going to make me cry, THANK YOU!!! 💗 Honestly that's one of the best compliments you could ever give. When I was a teenager I hated spring, summer and winter. I've come such a long way with being able to appreciate the seasons and it warms my heart knowing I can help others with that as well 💗
I appreciate the spice warnings. I don't read spice but I enjoy your book recommendations. Please keep giving us spice warnings when you can! Love your channel! ❤
Will do! I will try my best 😊
Agreed! Thank you for saying it!
Agree 100% ! No spicy for me either.
It is actually weird to ask for warnings when you are a full grown woman.
Are you a 5 years old ?
Seriously
@@alexandrakridide6628 many book summaries and reviews don’t specifically say if it’s an open or closed door romance, and that’s problematic for those of us who are uncomfortable with open door romances. Im not judging those who enjoy those books, but I don’t want to spend lots of money on a book and get invested in it just to realize it makes me uncomfortable. So I very much appreciate when she blatantly states which one it is.
Hey Desi, not sure if you or Jared saw but better help has been up to some pretty shady stuff. I would reconsider working with them in the future. They seem to be taking advantage people and not taking client privacy seriously
The running to the mailbox, the toast, the sleeves, the books…. Can’t handle it all! 😍This is all so perfect 🥰
🥰💗🫶🏻💛🥹💕
The video has been re-uploaded with the typo fixed! Thank you so much to those of you who let me know about it 🫶💗
I hope you enjoy the video! Please let me know if you have any spring book recommendations that I can add to my reading list this season 📚
Just a random question, have you read "The lunar Chronicles "? By Marissa Meyer. If so, what do you think?
I enjoy your videos a lot I found a few reads I liked from you
Have you read the Shady Hollow Mystery series? They look like something you would enjoy! Wishing you all the best in your next journey
Desi makes all the seasons perfect. But I feel like spring is where it is at.
🥹🫶💗
Her spring and fall content is where it’s at 😍
The opening alone made me feel so alive. Your videos bring me so much joy Desi! 🌸💞💜
Thank you for saying that 🥹🫶🏻 I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Once again, this video took me twice as long to finish as it should because I keep stopping and adding books on my goodreads!!! Love all the recs!
Sorry not sorry! 😄 So glad you enjoyed Celine! 💗
Welcome to the UK 😉 I'm in Scotland 🏴 I'm a writer and book covers are so important. You will certainly love the book shops in the UK. Try and visit Wigtown which is the UK's book town. You'll also enjoy touring Agatha Christie's home (sign up for the lunch) and make sure to visit and tour Downtown Abby. You'll be here in time for the Chelsea Flower Show if that interest you.
It’s always a good spring day when Desi posts! 🌸 😊
💗💗💗
I have no interest in reading the books but I could listen to you describe them all day long! You do a fantastic job and your excitement for reading the books is a cheerful thing to watch! I hope you enjoy every one of the books and they're everything you thought they would be!
i’m SO excited for this video!! desi’s spring content has an incredibly special place in my heart, it always brings such a smile to my face 🤍🌷
Aww thank you for saying that 🥰🥹🫶
I’ve never been this early to one of your videos, I’m so excited! I love everything you create. Pausing to make some herbal tea to enjoy the spring vibes 🥹🫶
It always makes me so happy when I hear someone say they make a cup of tea to enjoy while watching one of my videos 🥹 Thank you so much for being here, especially so early! I hope you enjoy it 🥰
When I found your channel and started watching your videos, I became really inspired to read books again. 🥰 I love how you appreciate and share your excitement for the worlds contained within every book. Feeling that through the screen inspired me to read, and last year I got through like twelve books. It is so nice to reconnect with that timeless sense of whimsy I felt when absorbed in a rich story as a child. Thank you for doing what you do!!
Have you ever read, “Girl of the Limberlost” and “Understood Betsy”? I think you would love them:) Also, I just bought several of the beautiful booksleeves. I hope you collaborate with her again in the fall and winter!
Girl of the Limberlost has been on my list for years!!! I really need to finally pick it up! I've only heard good things 😊
Thank you so much for ordering one of the booksleeves! They're incredible, such good quality. I hope you'll love it! 💗
Hi Desi. Beautiful video as always! A word of caution to someone who has never read Tess of the d’Urbervilles…. Although this is a “classic”… it is anything but a “feel good” story. As someone who loves classical literature, I’ve never understood why this one is such a favorite. For me, it’s a tragic story about a very young girl who falls victim to terrible things, through no fault of her own. If anything, it highlights how unfair life can be to those who are not born to wealth and privilege. There are so many beautiful works of classic literature that leave a person feeling uplifted and hopeful, but this is not one of them.
Thanks, I was looking through the comments to see if anybody had the same opinion. I remember reading it in school and being really mad at the story.
I've seen so many reviews on Goodreads saying the same thing that it's made me question myself because 'Tess' is one of my favorite books of all time. lol
I actually love this book BECAUSE it’s so sad and shows the harsh reality of her situation. It was the first Thomas Hardy book I read, and I honestly thought Far From the Madding Crowd was such a let down after Tess
THE INTRO. THE BOOKSLEEVES. 2 besties collabing is like a dream come true! Still can’t get over them. 😍🥹🤗
THANKS LIV!!! 🥹💗💗💗 It has been a dream!!
I've only seen the first few seconds of the video but I've got to say it now. Your dress is GORGEOUS!!!
It's Autum here in Australia, but you wouldn't think it we have very warm days here in Perth. I long for colder weather, so I will rewatch all your videos from Autum, loving all your books for spring 🎉take care ❤
I'm watching from Perth too 😅
Those autumn videos are my favorites!
Oh my goodness I cannot recommend Ludd-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirlees ENOUGH! Perfect whimsical book for spring, a sort-of thriller but only in terms of exploring what may be called the darker side of faerie… Such a classic and underrated
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can’t stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I’m frustrated, and i don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can’
Hey I ve been in a similar situation exactly year ago and i understand what are u feeling.
Its normal to not wanting to move on, u need to process your feelings since its been so many years and it only says that u really cared
Now u need to focus on healthy healing; centre on ur hobbies, psychical health, meditate
What helped me was writing a letter to that person to document ur feelings n what happened n what was the reason n what that person was doing wrong to u as well, u can send them that if u want to really close the chapter
What was also helpful was writing in a journal all the flaws that iritated me in that person, all the stuff they did/ never did and u wish they had did
It is 5:30 in the morning and I've been wet-vaccing my very wet basement all night, watching this in between vaccing to make the experience a bit better. 😊
I just put every single book on my tbr because they are all perfection!
Ahahaha Rahchel ilysm!! 😄🫶
Oh my, get yourself mentally ready for "Tess". It's one of my *favorite* classic books and has an important message and plot in my opinion but it's Hardy's more devastating story. 😢
Side note: I just ordered "Spark of the Everflame" because you recommended it so much in your IG stories and now I am super curious and excited to start!
I love Tess also. I named my beautiful dog Tess.
I am also a fan of the book. One of my favorites of all time!
I just ordered some of your sweatshirts for my daughters! They are so excited to get them, but we are a little bummed that some of the ones we wanted weren't available. If you happen to add more cat ones in XL or pink bunny ones in 2X, I would definitely buy them, but in the meantime, we are are looking forward to the ones we have ordered. 💖💖
Thanks so much for sharing! I've also gone through friend group changes as they all became mom's, and I was not able to. I love your viedos and find them very comforting and relaxing to watch on the weekends, especially after a busy week☺️
The beginning made me think Jared was narrating it for you, and then I thought it would be fun if he narrates the whole video for you 😅 He could guess your thoughts like maybe, ‘oh she wants to read this book because it has nature on the cover’
I love all the spring covers! And the blue in your dress really makes your eyes pop 😊
I actually really love that idea of Jared narrating for a future video 😄💗
@@DarlingDesi yay 🥰
I'm reading the other bennet sister! A Book that I discovered because of you and I'm LOVING IT!!! I'm now at the third part and oh mary ;__; she deserves to be so happy and to love herself... I'm seeing myself in her and I'm in tears reading the book. Thank you ❤
I loved that book! Have you read ‘what Kitty did next’ or ‘Lydia’. Both are just as amazing. I love imagining what the other sisters thought or felt. 🥰
@@nerdmaid1240 oooh thank you for the recs!!! I'm gonna look into it!
I LOVE those book sleeves so much!!! I’m about to order so for my sister’s birthday!
Those books sound wonderful! I could use a nice easy spring read. :) I also make book sleeves and the ones you two designed are beautiful! I also love the corners she included to keep your page. The fabrics are so pretty! Love them!
I think so many of these will be soft, light perfect for spring reads! That's so cool that you make booksleeves too! They are so useful! 💗
may i ask what lipstick you're wearing? it's the perfect shade!
I had a dress just like that in the 70s. When I was young.
You are such a vibe!!! I love the whimsical & calming style of your videos. ❤❤❤
The intro just makes this video 100 times better and to start the day off right 🌸✨🤍
I’m glad you liked the intro 🥰
I’m loving spring again this year, and your videos always do great at helping me feel even more enveloped in the comforting, exciting parts of each season! Thank you! 🌷 Happy Easter!
Yay it’s up again!
Oh Desiree, another spring’ish video! Yay! ☺️👏🏻 You always do magnificent work with all your season themed videos. And a book haul makes them extra interesting. So many recommendations; I can’t keep up with you, as usual. But at least I can follow along a bit by watching these videos. (Let’s talk books the next time we’re on the phone. 😊)
Thanks for saying that! I hope you enjoy the rest of the video! 🥰💗💗💗
Loving all the spring energy you're exuding lately! Thanks so much for putting so much content out there. It truly makes my day anytime i see a new desi video 🌷
What an amazing collaboration, Desi! The book sleeves are perfect! Especially for spring time 🥰💐
i feel so happy seeing you looking so healthy and happy ~ your eyes are so bright and skin clear :)
So excited to have a reason to request more books from the library!
Opening shot....
Desi running from the ticks!! (I have not stopped thinking about that since that video.)
Only a week or so longer of being able to run around in long dresses! Mid April is when they usually return 🫣
Darling Desi, I'm so happy & excited for your upcoming relocation to the U.K. I can't wait for you to settle in a beautiful cottage so that you can keep blessing us with your romantic / cottage style videos. sending you lots of love, peace & happiness. 🙏🙏💗🌺🏵🌻🌼🌷
Now I have a problem. I want to spend my day reading books thanks to your video... but I have too much work today, I won't have time!
Hopefully tomorrow !
Thank you for your spring books ideas !🌺🌻🌼
I love the Anne of Green Gables Puffin in Bloom😊
DESI! Your cozy videos always make my days so much brighter! Your content is like a much needed dose of serotonin!
This one had such perfect timing as I am really feeling the energy of spring today!
I saw the first violets of pop up today and that is a sure sign that spring has arrived!
I LOVE those book sleeves, so cute!!!💚🌷🍄🍃☕
All the beautiful book covers! 😍😍
The book sleeves are SO cute!!!
thank you desi for bringing me into spring mood and and actually finding my way back to reading! I love you so much 🤍💕
As soon as i get the notification of a new video it makes my day happier. They make me daydream and be excited about being in bed seeing your amazing videos. Love you so much Desi, and thank you a lot for the magic that you create 🐝🌼❤️😊
I’ve been looking for that springy book sleeve for my kindle forever!!!!!! Ordered!
I love all the books you got and thabk you so much for your recommendations, Desi! My spring tbr immediately got bigger😅🥰🤍
I always look forward to your book hauls and recommendation! I’ve found a lot of book loves for them ❤
red hair is just so perfect on you! ❤❤❤❤
Just ordered booksleeves for my two daughters and me! We can't wait to get them! We love watching your channel together. You have inspired all of us to read more, which is a wonderful thing! 💖💖
THIS is exactly what I needed today! Cozy K did a video on all things cheaply cozy AND Desi does a Cozy Book Haul????? Swoon!
I had to open a new window for goodreads while watching this so I could continuously add new books to my TBR from your recommendations. So many great choices!
I added a lot to my TBR list, thank you ❤️
Your videos just bring me so much joy and comfort, thank you so much. I've been kind of stuck in the beginning of a reading slump, but your recommendations have made me eager to pick up something new! Also, congrats on your move!
I just loved the opening of this, it was so whimsical and cozy! 🥰 I love romancing the day of getting new books and anticipating the different worlds I'll get the chance to jump into
Such a beautiful video, Desi! I love the spring book recommendations and the book sleeves are so pretty! Great job! Look forward to your next video! ☺💕
Congratulations on the collab! 🌷👏🏻
I love that you annotate your books, would love to see a video or recommendations on what kind of liners you use since I have trouble finding good ones.
Thank you so much for your video! I was under the weather this morning and your video felt like a bubble in time, to dwell with you in a bookish fairly world! You are a precious light in this world !
This is SUCH a great selection of books ❤ right up my alley
Thank you, I got several titles for my tbr so now I'm off to the library to see if they have them 😁 loved watching your furbabies 'helping' you with your snack, Gatsby just seems like the sweetest ❤❤❤
That opening narration was so cute 😄
Wow I love that cute mug!
Love all the recommendations! ❤❤

magical inspiration for spring marathon! thank you for this video, Desi🤎
Oooh, lud-in-the-mist ❤❤ I need to reread that one, I adore it!
i cannot WAIT for your reactions to Lud-in-the-Mist. One of my absolute favorites. Thank you for all the new recommendations!
I can't say how much I love your videos. The new Thomas Hardy's edition is wonderful. I have Tess on my TBR and Far from the madding crowd is one of my favorite classics.
Oh I love your dress!!!
My current Spring favorite is : The Cottagecore Spring! so inspring i recommended it to all my friends and they loved itt
Thank you for these great recommendations, I added some to my tbr and I’m planning to dive into Saving Ellipsis immediately! ✨
In this video I really appreciated the footage you added while talking about the sponsor. Listening to the same sponsorships over and over again can become quite repetitive and boring, even though I love the concept of betterhelp. So it was really nice to have some fresh visual content during the sponsorship segment as well. Thank you for taking the time for that 🧸🌸💫
I'm so glad I saw this literally just in the nick of time! Booksleeves are such a brilliant idea because my pages are ALWAYS getting bent whenever I throw books in my bag for the subway or coffee shop or whatever. And these are BEAUTIFUL. Bought one in each size. :)
Thank you so much and I love your intro!!
I was so excited to see that you had picked up "Where The Dark Stands Still". I just recently finished it and was so enchanted by the story and the characters. The writing is beautiful and makes you feel like you're there. I have other books lined up for my Spring reading, but I found myself just wanting to re-read that one. I love it and I hope you find it as magical as I did!
I'm currently reading "Flowerheart", per your recommendation, and enjoying it! You are my favorite person to to hear about books from, and I always look forward to your videos.❤
ohmygosh this video is PERFECT😭😭 I already wanted to cry from how beautiful this video was, from the lovely birds chirping to your gorgeous booksleeve collaboration😍 but to have been mentioned at all *melts* my heart, thank you so much Desi🥹🌷Where the Dark Stands Still and The Hedge Witch of Foxhall blew me away when I first saw their covers early this year, and then I discovered their plots and was OBSESSED😍 I love how every single book you featured is on my tbr🥹 kindred spirit alert!!🤎🌸
That was an instant buy. I wanted something to protect my books and could never find anything I liked until now!! Thank you for creating such a beautiful collection xx
You are my favorite RUclipsr, I love you so much! ❤
That means so much to me! Thank you!! I hope you enjoy the video 🥰
i've been on a reading slump but lately I felt like picking up a new book and this is so helpful!
It's up again!!
My favourite video of yours. I want them all. 😍😍😍
I love your videos so much! ☺️ And your hair and outfit look absolutely stunning!
Great intro 🎉. Thank you for the amazing book recs. The book sleeves look absolutely darling.
I'm glad you liked it!! And thank you!! 💗
Love the video, Desi 😍 Your book recommendations are always the best 🩷
Thank you for recommending The Artful Dodger...! My husband and I loved it!
You look so so pretty in this video!!! ♥️♥️
What a wonderful book haul. I have added a number of them to my wishlist.
Beautiful booksleeves.
I bought Miss Austen this weekend, am looking forward to reading it and plan to get the next one in the coming months.
Adore your videos & I added all of these to my TBR ❤️💓
