My recommendations Winnifred Watson:Miss Pettigrew lives for a day Elizabeth Gaskell :North and South, Wives and daughters (unfinished but you can see the ending) Pride and Prejudice with zombies (if you feel wicked, the movie is also good)
I've been a Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer fan since I was 15. I've all Austen's books and 20+ of Heyer's books. My favourite is also Arabella. Regency Buck, These Old Shades, The Masqueraders are among my other favorites. I've read most of her books, loved her wits and Regency slangs. And lots of lol moments! My granddaughter has downloaded the books not in my possession and the 6 or 7 I've never read. I mean to read/reread them in good time. Pride and Prejudice, the abridged version was my Literature book in school then, which led me on to Georgette Heyer. Love both of them and you for a lovely presentation. And you do look charming yourself!

Glad this video popped up on my feed today. The universe is conspiring in my favour! How did it know? A great introduction to you and now I have my early summer reading list. Thanks!
I loved this video so much Desi!! Longbourn by Jo Baker (told from the perspective of the servants at Longbourn) and The secret dairy of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick are two fab P&P retellings I highly recommend!!
I love love Georgette Heyer's Books. I have read some of hers and she is funny. I never heard of these two before and I have them written down as well as the other ones you mention of hers. Happy Reading :)
I just discovered you and love your videos! I know this isn't an Austen-esque book, but I saw you like the Anne of Green Gables books. I don't know if you have dug into any of LM Montgomery's other books, but my favorite is The Blue Castle! It is so funny, I laugh out loud! And it has the same gorgeous imagery as the Anne books. I feel like LM Montgomery is great with wit! I also loved the Emily of New Moon Books and A Tangled Web. All superb!!!
I have read the first two. Thanks for the recommendations. I would recommend The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Cass Grafton (Series Austen Adventures), The Clergyman’s Wife by Molly Greeley, The Jane Austen Project by Kathleen A. Flynn and Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price.
Lovely video - I'll definitely look out for those books and try to get some myself... I love the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (book and film) xx
Now I want to read all your recommendations, especially Dangerous Alliance since that’s been on my list to read for a while now. I’d also be really interested to hear your thoughts on the Brontës’ books. 😊
Me watching this video: * grabs pen and opens goodreads to take notes * This is awesome Desi!!!! I love how much you love Austen - it's infectious!! I have been reading Mansfield Park this month for my bookclub (it's my last Austen to finish!) and I have been bingeing some of the Austen movies. They're just so lovely!!
Darling Desi so far, the newest Emma!! But I’m also super partial to Sense and Sensibility, and the 1995 pride and prejudice mini series. Just comfort all around!
My Sister recommend your channel we are both in our 60s we love you and your channel . I have shared your channel with friends. Plus you are so beautiful in every way. Thank you for doing what you do so well.
Definitely! I just currently don’t have any shelves 😂 We moved about a year ago and I’ve been looking for vintage bookshelves ever since. My books currently live mostly in the floor lining the walls of my bedroom 😂
thanks for the recommendations. I've been wanting to read some of Georgette Heyers books, ill have to do that soon. A book recommendation for you is Edenbrooke. You NEED to read Edenbrooke. You would love it.
I was almost surprised you didn’t mention Edenbrooke, I got it after you showed it in a video and loved it so much I even wrote to the author- so thanks for showcasing it! Cant wait to start on this videos list 🥰
@@DarlingDesi oh heavens! I’m so sorry dear friend, youtube just sent this video to me, and I was so excited I didn’t even think to look at the time stamp! Well, regardless, your videos have transformed my life, I got to connect with Mrs. Donaldson (and she might even start her writing workshop again! And I hope so as she’s so amazing at characters), and pen pals, and I learn from your videography with each video, and I’m so terribly happy you got to take work off to do your bedroom makeover, which looks as though it’s right out of a movie. I love you and love all you do! Kristina
These were awesome recommendations! I am definitely going to read some of these books. Have you heard of or read the "Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman" trilogy? It's pretty much Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's perspective. It's quite drawn out but not in an annoying way and Pamela Aidan adds tremendous detail and depth to his character, which I really enjoyed.
also authors: Rosamund Pilcher, D. E. Stevenson, (granddaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson) Barbara Pym, and Alexandra Raife. Lots of books set in Scotland and England in a little bit more modern times. Beautifully written. ( For some very funny ones, check out P.G. Wodehouse-(who was the creator of 'Jeeves' and Bertie , a la 1920s)). Enjoy and you can thank me later!
Thanks so much for the recommendations, will definitely look them up...have been reading Frances Hodgson Burnett and loved them through the quarantine...now almost done and what to do?!?!? Have you ever read Clare Darcy? She has load of Regency Romances...loves those when I was in high school. Keep the recommendations coming...
I adore Pride and Prejudice! It's just not my favorite Jane Austen novel :) Emma is my absolute favorite. But I didn't include them on this list because I wanted this list to focus on books to read that will make you feel similar to how you do when you read Jane Austen novels :)
@@DarlingDesi okayy, but I love ' pride and prejudice' it is my favourite Jane Austen novel. I have seen a Hindi movie called ' Bride and prejudice' and one series called ' Trishna ' which is also like retelling of pride and prejudice. I just love the novel and your video helped me known more the books which are retelling of pride and prejudice. So thank you, you are awesome.
If you havent already read it I would highly recommend Longbourn by Jo Baker. It Longbourn from the servants perspective I loved it. Also The Clergymans Wife by Molly Greeley, which tells the story of Charlotte Collins. Not as good as Longbourn but worth a read.
I just found out that Molly Greeley has written a book about Anne De Bourgh called The Heiress. I haven’t read it yet, but have it on hold at my library.
An Assembly Such as This , the whole trilogy!!!!!!!! By PAMELA AIDAN!!!!!!! Pride and Prejudice told by mister Darcy. I ADORE those books, totally recommending them!!!!!!!!!!!
(don't mind the profile picture this is my dads account haha) ANYWAYS, I LOVE READING AND WE HAVE A VERY SIMILAR AESTHETIC!!! I ALSO REALIZED YOUR NAME IS DESI AND THAT IS MY NICKNAME!! I can't believe it! I never see anyone with the name Desi, that also loves reading! (my full name is Desianna) Have a nice day buttercup you made my day!
Hey I used to watch you years ago when you were a missionary girl friend and I just found you again. Are you and Jared still together? I don’t see him in any of your stuff
la verdad que los subttulos ofrecidos por youtube son un crimen, pero y aunque no entendí nada de lo que contaba la chica, he buscado los libros en español para leerlos.! seria estupendo que encontrases a alguien que pusira subtitulos en española tus videos, el segundo idioma mas hablado del Mundo es el español ;)
You Tube tiene videos e n espanol 1) resenas originales, 2) Las peliculas, unos, series de, tv 2A) + sub titulos 2B) unos + doblajes. Novelas/romances graphicas, en. Espanol?
Recordemos Sanditon, las 3 temporadas en, de, la serie, de, TV en, Ingles de, la novela, parcial, y ultimata, de, Jane Austen. Ya hay resenas o doblajes en Espanol. ?l.
Our aesthetic queen has blessed us once more 🌟
🥺
Jane Austen makes you want to live in the regency period and be her friend!
I am obsessed with this hat!!!!! It’s giving me all the 1930’s vibes.
My recommendations
Winnifred Watson:Miss Pettigrew lives for a day
Elizabeth Gaskell :North and South, Wives and daughters (unfinished but you can see the ending)
Pride and Prejudice with zombies (if you feel wicked, the movie is also good)
Those hats and hairstyle look absolutely lovely on you!
Namaste😊You almost transported me back to the Jane Austen Era😊💖💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍

I'm currently reading pride and prejudice and my family thinks it's crazy how much I love it.
Honestly my favorite book!
I loved this video so much Desi!! Longbourn by Jo Baker (told from the perspective of the servants at Longbourn) and The secret dairy of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick are two fab P&P retellings I highly recommend!!
I love your whole outfit! Your channel is so wholesome and brings me joy.
I just read The Jane Austen Society in December, and absolutely loved it! It gave me all the warm, happy, fuzzy feelings of reading Jane Austen.
