- Hello friends! 🌸
Spring is almost here! I hope you enjoy the spring vibes of this little video in which I acquire some new books with all the warm spring cottagecore vibes ☺️ As a seasonal reader, spring is a time for stories of flower fairies, cottage gardens, Jane Austen, poetry and flower picking.
I am still slowly recovering and working on my health, so thank you friends so much for being patient with me during this time. I truly cannot thank you enough. It means the world to me that you're here 💕 Next weeks video will be back to my normal filming style, but until then I hope you still enjoy this sit-down style video for today.
💗 Thank you so much to my incredible executive producers 💗

I couldn’t be happier that you’re back to bless us with more inspiring & wholesome content! It’s still very cold where I live and I need to get excited for spring! ❤️🌷
Same!! It has still been snowing here the past few days 😬 but as soon as March begins, my mind is in full springtime mode.
The Book "Kiki's Delivery Service" is perfect for spring. It is a little different from the Ghilbli movie but just as whimsical🌸
I didn’t know it was a book!! I’m excited to check it out! 💕🤗
I just finished watching it today!! And I had this video saved to a playlist already, I'm just collecting book recs and adding it to my list and I LOVE that movie, it makes me wanna get back into witchcraft ❤
need ittt
Honestly, Desi's posts instantly induce pure joy. Comparable to hearing the door bell and knowing it's your best friend from childhood. ❤️
That’s the loveliest compliment ever 🥺♥️♥️♥️😩
@@DarlingDesi Well.. 1. the notification itself actually IS a bell and 2. I'm basically convinced you're my best friend every time I watch your videos. 😄 That's how my heart feels about you anyway... 🥰😘
I agree!
Hi, I never write these comments for fear of them never even been seen...but who cares! I’m just a girl in a cafe writing to a girl who shares her joy on the internet. I just wanted to say I love your work so much. I’ve been having a hard time and I woke up and went to my favorite cafe, got a waffle and a rose latte then settled in and found you posted a new video. It was such a joy to watch and really really helped me. You’ve taught me how to romanticize my life again and I found myself crying to your spring book reviews in said cafe. I hope you know how very special you are and your light in the world. Hope you are feeling better and happy spring friend. 💛
Hope you’re having a wonderful day :)

i know this is a bit late, but thank you for writing down this list! 💗
Thanks for writing down the list of books
Thank you so much!! 💖💞💕
Thank you so much!!!
i was literally just searching for some cottage core books, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time! 💓
Same!
Yay!! 🥰
I’ve never commented on anyones youtube video before but after watching your videos I felt inspired and cleaned up and redecorated my house to have the same sweet cottage core/ light academia style and when my boyfriend got home he told me he loved it and wanted to continue it in other rooms I hadn’t touched. Thank you for being so inspiring 🤍
That’s so sweet! Cottage core is truly a comfort to the heart and soul. 🖤
I have a confusing stressful day ahead of me so this is a perfect calming way to start the day!
Awww I hope things end up going well and that you can end your day feeling happy and relaxed! 💗
@@DarlingDesi thank you! It went very well actually!
It's been a bad day. I ate something my stomach didn't like. A migraine is threatening all day. Nothing went right. I feel stupid and exhausted. And the cats got out. At night! And none are exactly white...
O.o"
But then notifications say you posted a video...and it's both cottagecore and books and spring!
...
...

I'm walking on sunshine! WhooOoooh! :D
I remember cooking through the Anne of Green Gables cookbook as a college student, so cozy and happy! Thanks for all the interesting new recommendations and reminders about the classics,!
The Whinnie The Pooh books are absolutely perfect for spring and summer. They’re the cosiest stories with the quaintest illustrations! I think you’d absolutely adore them Desi!
"There's a murder, I think, that happens. It just sounds so sweet!!"
Lol, can't get enough of you, Desi.
I just finished On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor and I loved it. Dark and very atmospheric with a little ghost haunting. It also goes back and forth from 1885 to present day. Loved it.
What a wonderful thing to wake up to!! 🌷🌞📚
🥰♥️♥️
If you’ve never seen the “Barbie and the Tale of Peter Rabbit” doll you absolutely should search it up! Your whole look and spring aesthetic match the doll so well!
I've recently started the Nevermoor series from Jessica Townsend and I already love it! It's a children's story about a young girl called Morrigan Crow, it's set in a magical city, there are mysteries, superpowers, talking animals, hilarious characters - I don't know if people will understand, but reading it just feels colorful. Also the Editions from my local library have super cute covers that pull you in before you open the book.
I'm not sure if you've ever read Matilda, but it's one of my go to spring time, feel good books. And it's such a quick read when you just want to smile :)
Just put tons of these on my TBR! Thank you for the recommendations. I know your book-based videos may not get as much traffic as your other videos but they are so helpful to us bookworms! Also, I love how you try to consume content and perform activities based on the season. Modern society doesn't allow us to stay as in touch with nature as our ancestors but you've found a way to cherish each season :) Hope you have a lovely week!
Jude Deveraux writes a series of cottage core books. They have romance and a little bit of mystery. The beginning of the series starts off with a book titled “lavender morning“. It’s so so so so good. SO good
Highly recommend Susan Branch! Her books Fairy Tale Girl, Isle of Dreams, and Enchantment are SO cozy and sweet. I read them over and over! Her handwriting and illustrations all throughout are so charming. And her story is great too!!
Oh my gosh, me too! Hers are the only books I re-read over and over. They always make me feel so positive-like Desi’s videos. :) I know Susan Branch has a huge following, but I don’t know anyone else who loves her work and I’ve been unsuccessful getting anyone else hooked on her, haha.
I wish her books were available on Kindle. They look so lovely!
Hi Desi!! I just wanted to share that I'm currently living with depression and that everytime I feel like I don't have enough air to breath, your videos bring me peace!! You, and your videos are really helping me in these hard times, thank you so much for everything!! You are a special human being 🥰🥰
I’ve read a few books that you’ve recommended. As a reader, I appreciate these videos! 😁
Kate Morton’s “the secret keeper” was the first book to get me back into reading since high school. Truthfully, I judged the book by the pretty cover, and hoped it’d be a good one. To my surprise, it became one of my favorites! It was the perfect book to pick up after 6 years of not reading to rope me back in.
I love that her books take place in the English countryside. The forgotten garden and the house at riverton by Kate Morton are also a few favorites 💕☺️
Best thing to watch the morning of a therapy appointment 😌 Thank you, kindly. Hoping you come back to full health soon!
Omg! Lark Rise to Candleford looks SO dreamy!
so timely - I’ve had the biggest book hangover from The Last Garden In England by Julia Kelly and just needed to tell somebody. 4 women’s perspectives over several generations over the same garden. Not my usual but I loved it 🥰 thanks for more springy finds!!!
Yesssssss my favourite youtuber😆. I litrally wait for every videos you put out. I've been stressed lately with uni but thank you so much for these videos desi😍😍☺🥰.I hope u take care of urself too and not to push urself
She is the absolute best! 💖
Thanks friend!! ☺️💕 I hope you take care of yourself too!
Loved this video and must reads. I’m staying in the Lake District this weekend in Bowness, Windermere. ... wish you were with me. Hilltop is very near and such a wonderfully magical house where you expect Peter and his furry friends to appear at any moment. Much love xx
Anne of Green Gables Devotional! It's amazing!
The book Marigolds for malice is actually the third in a series by Bailey Cattrell the first book is Daisies for innocence and might I say it’s a great book to get you in a springtime/summertime mood (I hope this helped!)🌸🧚♀️❤️
I wasn’t sure there was anyone who loved books more than I in this world…. Then I found you today!!! You are amazing and I love you already.
Thank you for this video Desi especially on a Monday, it just makes this day feel so much better! I love all the spring book recommendations!
Absolutely gorgeous books! Loved watching this, thank you!
Watching this video looks to be the perfect respite activity for me right now. As you know, I’m currently recovering from a bone marrow transplant in the hospital and I need calming videos like this one to help me find some balance in all the challenges I’m going through. Thanks Desi. You always deliver!
I love all of your spring content. It's hard to believe that I've been following your channel for about a year now. My dad passed away at the beginning of last year and your videos were definitely a bright spot for me during that time. Thank you Desi ❤️
I missed your book videos so much!! They are how I found your channel a long time ago!
Braiding sweetgrass is by far my fav book of the year.
I haven’t had the chance to watch yet but my week started off absolutely awful, you have no idea how happy I was to see a new video 😭😭😭 Thank you as always for your wholesome content
I have just rewatched your old video with cottagecore recs, so the timing is absolutely perfect✨ You always have the best recommendations for seasonal reader like myself, thanks Desi♥️🌷🌻
That little green copy of Peter Rabbit is the exact one I had as a child! Also, if you want more Beatrix Potter, I recently read “Beatrix Potter’s Gardening Life” by Marta McDowell! It’s a biography of Beatrix Potter but told through how she had her garden throughout her life. It has many of her drawings that weren’t in her books. I think you would really like to flip through it! I’ll definitely be checking out the cottage tales of Beatrix potter. Loved this video! 🥰
Yes for the shoutout to cozy mysteries! Legitimately one of my favorite genres and I feel like no one ever talks about reading them.❤️
Thank you for your magical videos, it's a very tough time for me and my mental health but your gentle soul and your relaxing videos keep me less anxious and help me to find good things in bad times
I have just come across your channel and I love your content and enthusiasm for Cottagecore and the English countryside. I love in the North of England, Northumberland.. we have some of the best countryside.. but one of my favourite places to visit is The Lake District.. Cumbria. It's about an hour an half drive for me from Northumberland.. It's a beautiful part of England. Yorkshire is wonderful too.. You would love England. ❤
When I watch your videos they make me cry! Everything resonates with me so well and reminds me of childhood 🥺 thank you for always reminding me to stay true to myself, inspiring me and creating videos that feel like a warm hug. 👒🧚🏻♀️🍰
A recommendation for your summer reading pleasure: 'Swallows and Amazons' by Arthur Ransome. Four children on holiday in the Lake District in the north of England sail and camp and run into fierce pirate sisters. It's set in August 1929 and it's a classic summer adventure.
I totally, totally second this! I love the Swallows and Amazons - a whole series of 12 books.
comfort level of watching this video: π ❣
Oh Desi, I am just delighted to see your smiling face again! Especially with new excitement for your spring books! I adore you and your channel and I am so thankful for your cottagecore cozies😘🌱🌷🐛🦔
I just got a mug from Marshall's that has Thumper on it. It reminded me of you! So cottagecore style! 💖
Ah, a lovely mix of books that I’ve read, books that are on my wish list and titles i’ve never heard about that I want to read now! I cannot wait to watch all tour spring inspired videos. Washing you all the best!
Thanks for all the book recommendations, your enthusiasm and joy is so refreshing, happy spring!
you have no idea how much peace you bring me with these videos🥺thank you
Aaah we love a new video full of book recommendations 💕💞 thank you so so much Desi ☺️
i hope you and your family are doing better, sending you some warm hugs !
Ohh my God, I have just travelled milestones into the best of times in 24 minutes with you Desi. I always admire your videos which seem eternally to shine.
So many Beautiful books for springtime 💕🌸🌻🍃
Good thing I just made my tea before the notification!
Perfect timing, thank you so much! I have library in my basement but each season I bring some different books upstairs as decor and to recommend to people and read myself, and I've been getting the itch to switch out my books upstairs again... I have rewatched all of your videos (especially the ones about books) so many times! I cannot get enough of this kind of content! 😻
I always feel so content when I watch your videos! Thank you for inspiring and making so many people happy!!!
Desi, I hope you are doing well! I love your videos. I watch them to get motivation when I have a lot of anxiety. They remind me to do what I need to be happy. I’d love a spring refresh video 💕 Hope you feel better.
Lovely to waken on a Monday morning to all these fabulous books. Thank you. Makes me want to stay in bed nestled under covers, a cup of warm tea steaming by my side. And then I open one of these cozy books based in the English countryside, and the morning is spent. What a beautiful dream. Have a lovely day Desi. Hope you will feel better and better as Spring arrives. 🌸
I can't tell you how many books I've just added to my TBR 🥰 Thank you, you always make me discover new books that no one talks about 🌸
Yay new books! I read What the Wind Knows after you recommended it and I loved it so much, so I'm definitely going to check out anything else you pick up. ☺
I just found your channel recently and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your relaxing videos. A port in the storm 🌊 thank you Desi!
🥺💗💕
@@DarlingDesi نعم معها حق
أنا أيضا وجدت قناتك بالصدفة منذ أكثر من 3أشهر وأرى أنها من أجمل القنوات بالأخص فيديوهات اللتي تقومين فيها بروتينك الهادئ والمرح أيضا أتمنى لك كل الخير والتوفيق😊💚
What perfect timing! I will be finishing a book today and had been wondering what to read next. You have given me so many wonderful ideas! I hope you are feeling so much better. You look like your usual beautiful, healthy self. I hope you are feeling the same.
The Lark Rise to Candleford tv series was good. I didn't know it was a book! I love your videos! You are so sweet!
I LOVED Beatrix Potter as a kid. I need to get a copy of her treasury
Thank you for this! I took notes and will be reading some of these. ❤️. Glad to see you’re feeling better 💕
The covers and artwork of these books are amazing
I'm so grateful that every time you post a video, we can dice into a magical world.
You are my heroine, you are inspiring me so much and also you give my life such vibrant colors!
Love you to the Neptune and back!❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰
Loved this, I’m so excited for spring and really can’t wait to welcome in the season with some of these perfect cottagecore books 💜
Glad you’re back! Missed you. I just got myself The Tale of Holly How! My mom is from England and she read Beatrix Potter to me growing up. The illustrations give me such cozy vibes. Thanks for the recommendation!
“Middlemarch” is wonderful! I taught it in class today! What a beautiful edition you’ve purchased!! I hope you like it! And these Jane Austen editions are wonderful!! 💕
These were exactly the kind of books I was looking for this spring, also I just got the same copy of the tenant of wildfell hall and can't wait to start reading it!🌻💚
Everytime you post a video it’s so aesthetic and calming, refreshing for the soul✨ i recently found myself reading a lot more, finding time to read actually and your recommandations for spring comes at perfect time 💓
this video brought me so much joy and I’m so excited to check some of these out! the last quote made me tear up and was exactly what I needed to hear 💕
You bring so much good into this world just by being you! Thank you, Desi, for sharing your life with us. The way you romanticize life has inspired me to let go of hustle culture and romanticize my life and just look for the joy in life. It is such a wholesome way to live.
Oh my goodness, I remember reading that exact same edition of Lark Rise to Candleford years ago, having picked it up from my local library. What a lovely memory you just gave me when I 'spotted' that spotted cover!
your channel has inspired me soo much to start romanticizing the seasons and it’s making me a happier person, I just want to thank you for that!
Thank you so much for sharing your Amazon storefront because thanks to you this year I really fell in love with all the spooky, mystery, autumnal books you shared in one of your previous videos and now I come to you for my book recommendations!! :)
Thank you so much for this video Desi! You got so many amazing books and I wish you lots of fun while reading them🥰💕
Another recommendation: "Greenwillow" by B.J.Chute is THE cottage core book. Hard to get but I think it's on audible :) Found it in an antic store an reread it three times already (and I usually read books only once) because you can SMELL the cakes baking while reading, the storytelling and the story itself feels like a hug
Desi you've made me so happy today. Haven't been feeling quite so romantic about my own life, but I finally cried watching your video (in a good way!) and now I want to really honor this feeling of reset today. Thank you, I definitely see you as my internet friend
Yay for springtime. Lots of wonderful recommendations ❤️
I loved this video
I’m actually going to my local book shop to see if I could get some of those books
Love your videos so much and hope your feeling better now ♥️
Can’t wait for more future videos
i've been waiting for this watching last year's one. Love you 🤍🌷
I love all these books and will be visiting this video again. I'm reading a crochet mystery series. I'm the third one called by Hook or by Crook. Pun-ny titles! It's set in California in a valley outside of L.A. with a crochet group and follows Molly who gets herself into mysteries by noisiness and nonsense. It's fun, thrilling, and the books come with a crochet pattern and a baked goody recipe (Molly bakes and cooks from scratch).
Perfect as always! This is the perfect thing to watch on my day off!
Oh i was waiting for such a spring book inspiration! Thank you very much! And have the beautifulst spring ever!🌷💕
I love love love this video sooooo much ! The timing is so perfect for me, thank you ❤️
Can you do a video about your favorite cottage core TH-cam channel ? 🥰
I'm so glad and happy you are starting to post again!I hope you're doing really well.💗 I really appreciate your work and love in all of your videos, it means a lot to me and everyone❣ I was worried but I hope you continue sending good vibes everyday to yourself. It's really important to take care of yourself😊
I'm so glad I got to start this week with a new video from you 🥰 I am really happy to see you back too and I hope you are feeling better and better ❤️ I have definitely added a few books to my spring tbr, so thank you so much! I can't wait for the next video too 🥰
Middlemarch is one of my absolute favorites! I’m so excited to hear your review💗
I love that mug with the bunny on it! So cute!
I love your book recommendations because they are always so cozy and cute 💜 just what I'm needing right now! I'm so thankful for your videos😭 and I'll surely read all the cozy mysteries you talked about!
You should open a bookstore! Seriously. I would shop there every week!
So heart warming!! It is autumn where I live now so I have been rewatching all Desi's cozy autumn vids!
What a wonderful haul! I want to recommend the new cloth bind up by Penguin of Sanditon by Jane Austen, which also includes Lady Susan and other works! 😁
This is perfect! I cannot wait to read these books. These look sooo good! Thank you so much!!
**Those pocket editions are my favorite! I am collecting all of the books in that edition. They are so beautiful.
I love collecting beautifully covered books. I am so glad that I found someone else who does that too!
I was admiring you lipstick this whole video 😍 Would you ever consider sharing some of you favorite makeup/skincare/ beauty picks? Especially what kind of makeup colors you use depending on the season. I'd watch it lol but I'd also watch you talk about almost anything 😊
So happy you’re back with this video! I already could sit in the sun with my coat on and my book so these recommendations are very welome!❤️
Have you ever considered doing a makeup routine Desi? Because I would LOVE to know how you achieve your makeup looks!!
THAT MUG at the beginning of the video is so precious!!! Lovely video as always
Desi, this video was amazing! I always look forward to spring and am so excited to have your recommendations to make the season even better!
