dear milk fed: introductions, my favorite books of 2024, and what to expect on my channel
มุมมอง 43K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
consider this a very short introduction to my little corner of the youtube universe. every sunday, i'll be sharing longer videos for you to settle into about books, life, and the quiet spaces in between. thank you for being here. i love you.
such great recs!! i just started reading my first Nin (A Spy in the House of Love)!! also loved the intro of this video wow
loved everything about this - thank you for putting so much thought into putting this list together I've just added about 10 things to my tbr and 10 movies to my watchlist!!
Thank you Geneva! I hope you love them. I can’t wait to watch your new video tonight! 🥰 I always look forward to watching them
Caitlyn, I am obsessed with this list, I have added every book to my tbr, I wrote a long list in my reading journal. I just started Henry and June by Anaïs Nin and wow you were right, the way she writes about desire and intimacy is so raw and vulnerable, yet beautiful. I cannot wait to get to her other work that you’ve mentioned in this video. And I’m geeking out because I just found out that she was a big fan of D.H Lawrence!!
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Henry and June- it’s one of my favorites! And yes she was! 🤎 I feel like the best way to find your next favorite book is looking at your favorite authors favorite authors 🙂↔️
Love the videos ❤ but they're all backwards/mirrored 😭
I record everything on my iPhone. I don’t even have a microphone 😂 but I’ll be getting a camera soon. Hopefully!!
Great video ! Loved seeing scenes from In The Mood for Love - that is one of my favorite movies. Thanks for the book recommendations. I'm not into reading love stories but I do love a good tragic love story. I can't believe I haven't read any Anais Nin. I need to remedy that this year. I adored The Flowers of Evil, Giovanni's room, and The Lover. Madonna in a Fur Coat is on my TBR for this year. I have not read Written on the Body, but Oranges are not the only Fruit is one of my favorite books. I need to read more Winterson. I would have never thought to put a Bukowski book in a valentine recommendations video but now that you mention it, it works. Anna Karenina is my all-time favorite classic. Another favorite is The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which incorporates some elements of Anna Karenina. I love the connection you made with fragrance and literature. I love both also. I recently bought a sampler of Tokyo Milk fragrances and am enjoying exploring them. I have to confess, I've always hated Valentine's Day but you have inspired me to look at it differently, so thank you. I am a melancholy soul and would love to see melancholy book recommendations.
Oh you’ll love Anais Nin!! I recommend Henry and June 🤎 I also love melancholy. More melancholic literature coming soon 🥀
I'm curious, do you feel that the female characters in Anna Karenina were explored enough? I felt that Vronsky and Levin had SO MUCH DEPTH but also felt that Anna and Kitty were almost caricatures of the "unstable/mentally ill/'fallen'" woman and the "pure/virtuous" woman respectively, which I think made it slightlyyy harder for me to fully enjoy the book because I felt they were a little one-dimensional. This might be because I read it right after The Idiot though - I felt that Dostoevsky did SUCH a good job of exploring Nastasya Fillipovna and all her complexity, so perhaps Tolstoy wasn't as bad as a remember, and just seemed worse in comparison to Dostoevsky. P.S. thank you for the romance recommendations!!! I've noted a few of them down and I'm going to try find a second hand copy of at least one of them asap 😝😝
i think tolstoy absolutely gives vronsky and levin more interiority, but i wouldn’t say anna and kitty are one-dimensional-it’s more that their struggles are filtered through the lens of societal expectation in a way that makes them feel archetypal. anna, for example, embodies the tension between desire and duty, but i think there’s real psychological depth in the way tolstoy shows her unraveling. kitty also starts off feeling like a “pure” ideal but gains complexity through her relationship with levin and her own growth. that said, dostoevsky definitely gives nastasya filippovna a different kind of interiority-she’s messier, harder to pin down, more of a raw nerve than anna, whose downfall feels almost inevitable from the start. i do think comparing them highlights the difference between tolstoy’s moral weight and dostoevsky’s psychological chaos, which is why reading anna karenina after the idiot probably makes tolstoy feel more restrained. And it’s also why i enjoyed the Idiot more 😉 also, love that you’re looking for secondhand copies of the recs! would love to hear what you end up picking up!🤎🤎🤎
her voice is so relaxing to listen to!! (i swear i’m not weird) and the way she explains every book its beautiful!!
I just finished Written on the Body by Winterson this week per your recommendation and was absolutely floored. Truly some of the most beautiful prose I’ve ever read.
Written on The Body is the best book ever!! It blew me away when I read it too
I love everything Winterson writes. Her prose are stunning!
your channel is my favourite book club!

Glad you enjoyed 😘
omg clarice lispector mentioned <3
It took me 1 min to subscribe! Glad I came across your Channel, you're calm and composed and you bring good energy :)
Gosh something about your videos is just so inspiring, i want to make videos like this <3 thank you
The way you describe books is breathtaking and has truly made me want to read every book on this list!
So wait: jazz, philosophy, fragrances, Diptyque candle (Figuier, no less!) black clothes, glasses and gothic books upon books? It's like I manifested this YT channel (and honestly, it's like you stepped out of the pages of The Secret History). If that's a cup of hot tea with milk & sugar I'm done lol. Could not subscribe fast enough. :)
Love the Susan Branch cookbook!! Great recipes and illustrations in all of her books and calendars. ❤
We are the same, because my two favorite things are books and fragrances. Really enjoyed this!
Love to see you on yt <3 what do you study?? Im getting law or philosophy vibess
You came up on my TH-cam and I’m so glad. Everything you said I completely understand and for what it’s worth I’m proud of you for putting yourself out there and trying to achieve your goal. I really look forward to more videos. Topics that I appreciated and stand out to me our philosophy, being a mood readerand vulnerability.
You’re making me yearn for the cold. Loved this ❤
You, malissa and soggy rice getting me through this month ❤
@@momoz1 to be included in this list 🥺 I love them so much
Love your content and look forward to watching your videos every week. Thank you for sharing about your anxiety pouch. I used the ice pack trick today and it helped immensely. 🤍
@@nathaliervidal I’m so glad it helped!🤎
What is this magical corner of youtibe I just found? Also, team oatmeal and raisins here as well 😊
@@TheMakeupBee oatmeal forever 🤎
Omg I just finished Madonna In A Fur Coat yesterday and loved it so much. My heart was aching by the end but in such a good way. So beautiful. I read The Door last month. I thought the writing was great but couldn't get into the characters for some reason, felt really detached the whole time. I know so many people love that book though. Not sure why it fell flat for me. Maybe I will try a different book of hers. Looking forward to your Vday recommendations.
@@glamourstains I’m so so excited to read Madonna in a fur coat! Excited to share more valentines recs 🥰
so happy i found you
Also give us something (A video) on Clarice Lispector. Works you have already read, ones that are pending. She's also one of my top most loved authors as well! ✨👑🖤🤎
Yesss, I second this. 🖤
@@deejahj8933 happily!! She is one of my favorite authors ever 🤎
Can I just Say that it is quite courageous of you to speak about your personal experience with anxiety specifically panic attacks so openly. Hope you feel great always! ✨🙌🏻
@@deejahj8933 just hoping it makes people feel understood 🤎🤎
You mention Children’s Literature, I love Pheobe Wahl’s books ♡
@@Lozzie_Bear yes! I’m going to recommend more as we get closer to spring 🤎
I was counting down the days for this vid to come out! can’t wait for more videos to accumulate so I have more to rewatch also! was wondering if it’d be possible for u to share ur tiktok’s here as shorts for those who don’t have a tiktok? I would love to see more of ur content
@@dahliamartinez714 yes! I’ll try and post more shorts on here 🥰
I don't know why but you give me Daria vibes, LOL. Love your content. It is a comfort in itself.
@@modernlifeofaya what a compliment 😌🤎
I love Eros the Bittersweet! Did I learn about its existence from season 1 of the OG L-Word? Yep. Jenny Schecter and Marina talk about their favorite books on Bette and Tina's couch, and then Alice knows what's up before even they do.
@@Sthemingway omg the L word!! You know the vibes. 🤎
@@dearmilkfed I also picked up a few Amy Bloom books because of that same scene. ^J^ And every time I see a Mustang on the street, I think "mmm muscle car."
Please ,please, please consider pairing your reading of Claudia Dey's Daughter with the non-fiction study, Patricia Reis's Daughters of Saturn: From Father's Daughter to Creative Woman. I think it too will speak to your heart as well as your interest in psychological, philosophical works. Reis explores the very themes you discuss through her analysis of Greek goddesses, important women writers, and their illustrative liberation from "patriarchal prescriptions." Emily Dickinson, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Sylvia Plath, and others illuminate the fraught path from paternal consumption to personal voice. It's a fascinating work of scholarship that grips you like a work of art. I know it will complement Dey's novel beautifully, and I'm sure you will love it! Great channel and lovely aesthetic choices. I love that you're gaining confidence with each new post and truly finding your voice.
@@Andrew.Leonineomg thank you for this! Although I finished daughter in two days 😅
The anxiety pouch is such a good idea!!! thank u for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ i don't get panic attacks but i get flashbacks and i feel that these things would genuinely be sooo helpful to start taking around with me - especially the ice pack!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
@@soggyrice3 I hope it helps bbbyyy! 🤎🤎🤎
Thank you so much for sharing your anxiety pouch ❤I need to create one for myself, as I believe it would help me so much, particularly the "cold" suggestions 🙏
@@sofiacabral9433 the cold and air helps SO much 🤎
these videos are swiftly becoming my favourite part of the week
@@liawindsor861 thank you sm!
You’re the third person I heard to be “hooked” on Daughter lately. Off to go get it now ❤

@@amyb3737 I’m glad you enjoyed 🥰
Madonna in a fur coat is also on my tbr. I have read some quotes and I can't resist!!!

Huzzah!
@@brunchtim3427 🤎🤎
love you entire vibe & channel, just subscribed!!
I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on the Paris Review! I was thinking about subscribing but I’ve seen a lot of people say it’s not as good as back in the day. Your enthusiasm for it has me thinking about subscribing after all-obviously you’ve read a lot of incredible literature so I’m sure you don’t have low standards!
Ah I'm also reading Abigail! What a coinky dink.I love Magda Szabo
