@@RubyGranger8 that is a good idea, bookmarks for each style of book or for an individual book if it is about Paris for example a book mark in Parisian style. That would be a great gift to make alongside a book as a gift for example.
Idea: Look up other pieces of art (music, paintings, architecture, etc.) that were published in the same year/decade as the book you're reading, to dive into the authors cultural world.
Videos like this is the reason why I appreciate and cherish this community created by Ruby so much. My bookish idea is to sew a book cover for your books!
I was following Ruby about 5 years ago, when she was making study with me videos. At that time, I was also studying for my university enterence exams. Afterwards, I stopped using that TH-cam account. Today I remembered again and checked her channel. I am very happy that she has turned into a very nice and beautiful adult woman. I hope you always smile.
How much I love you. Even though I differ from you in language, country, and religion, I share the same character, hobbies, and even age. Also, your videos motivate me and give me positive energy. Currently, my psychological state is deteriorating. Thank you, Ruby. I am from 🇩🇿.
look what ruby brought back in her videos? THE OLD CLASSY INTRO! I love it. happy tears falling. good luck on your oxford degree. fingers crossed! my favorite season is fall/autumn. we are very much alike in some areas, dear ruby. i love autumn/fall, i love tea, books. i hope you have a fantastic fall/autumn/winter this year!
I bought fairy lights and a salt lamp for this autumn, i am also having a flower buquet all the time in my room As an extrovert, fall and winter are especially hard, so i will try to fall back into my introspect and my introvert-self
I went to the Rossettis exhibition too! I thought the fusion of art and poetry was amazing. I've been going to lots of the same places as you, just a few weeks earlier... I've always struggled to find fellow creatives throughout my life and your videos bring comfort in the sense that there ARE people out there who appreciate the arts and all the timeless beauty they contain.
it feels like we're having our own mini renaissance of the arts and crafts movement culturally - with subcultures online appreciating the act of creation and material art in reaction to overconsumption x
Ruby I wanted to thank you for your videos. I struggle with very bad depression and bad anxiety, your beautiful videos ( and planner) have helped me order my days and find joy in the small moments again for the first time in three years. Thank you so much 💗
Your videos are so much fun. They create instant cozy vibes and continue to motivate me to read and study so much more than I do now. Great list also. Autumn is the best season! Followed by Winter.
My recommendation is going on a walk early morning, picking fallen leaves and flowers, drying them and using them as bookmarks, while some you can use as a reference to write a small ppoem or haiku, and send it to your loved ones
You can write letters from the perspective of famous book characters and hide them where fans of those books might find them. Also build props and things from your favourite books.
I love the idea of having a commonplace book! I do use one, not a cute little moleskin one haha (although that is on my list of things to get at some point!), I have a few cheap notepads from the Dollar Store. I always keep one in my bag (with some stickers too, just in case!) to use for poetry writing, informative notes, little messages, and mini journal entries, among other things.
Take an Autumn photo of some beauty in nature. (Edit it if you like.) Then write a haiku about it and print it on the photo. Perhaps, frame it & give it. 🍁
I 'cosied up' today it felt great. Taken to reading classics too, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn too really enjoyed them both I hadn't read them for an age so it was great, catching up with your videos too before journalling for the night
This is so lovely, I’ve been feeling really autumnal lately and this is a perfect watch! Definitely try all of these, as well as perhaps taking a picnic to a park full of trees when all the leaves have turned, have a cup of tea and read 🍂
Do you know what Ruby. I would love to meet you and pick your brain over a cup of coffee and discuss writing stuff. Be such a thrill. You are such a delight. 😊
Cozy and autumnal drink recipe 🍂 ☕️ 🤎 - 1 mug of milk (I use oat milk, but pretty much any type will work) - 1 teaspoon of brown sugar - some ground nutmeg - some of cinnamon - Coffee (if you like to drink it) or hot chocolate powder To make the drink, you add the brown sugar to the milk. Then, warm up the mixture for a minute in the microwave. Add your coffee (or your cocoa powder), then sprinkle a bit of cinnamon and ground nutmeg on top! Enjoy! 🤎
Thank you for a lovely video Ruby! I study History and particularly adore Early Modern Britain, and the Regency Era! I love to find something really obscure like Torch Snuffers in London and Edinburgh and research and read all about them, particularly the tiny details of life!! ✨🎩xx
Hehe a bookish thing to do in Autumn - watch a Ruby Granger video, of course! - as you're one of my favourite TH-camrs who's both an introvert and loves books just like me! There is no better way to spend a cosy autumn day imo. 😊
You know what,I read The Raven and I instantly fell in love with it I am sharing it my friends. I think it is a very cool poem, very rhythmic, I’ve never read something like that before ❤😅😮😊
From the US: Play a live Nature Cam and when you look up from your book you might see a really neat animal doing something. In the US during October, there is something called Fat Bear Week and grizzly bears eat and eat and eat while they get ready for hibernation.
I love your videos so much! 😍 All of them are filled with love and inspiration in every moment 🍂🕰️ You inspire me to read more, to enjoy autumn more and listen to your heart 🤎
Literary baking is a very interesting concept. It reminds of when people read excerpts of The Iliad, when they are actually at the site of Troy. I would consider maybe doing the reverse. Try a writing exercise where you go somewhere that is autumnally-inspiring and start writing some descriptions of what you feel. As you practice doing this in different locations, you'll learn to better capture in words the mood of different places. Something that perhaps is different than just sitting at home and writing through imagination, because being on site and on location might give you deeper insights into the proper scale of things. You can also become aware of what stands out as more noisy and what stands out as more softly resonating in the background of your surroundings.
I get the train every day to school. For the last week I’ve been contemplating if I should just ditch my friends, and get the train on my own with my earbuds plugged in and reading my book with a hot chocolate in my hand. 😂❤
@@RubyGranger8 I don’t have any season but summer haha I live in the northern part of brazil, too close to the equator line (but I enjoy your content all year 💗)
I started watching your videos so so long ago and here you are, such a beautiful and incredible young woman you have become! I'm a little bit younger than you but that makes you one of my role models and I love escaping through your videos. It's a bit silly but it made me so happy inside to hear you say my name and know I exist, I know, very silly of me😅 I am the person that I am today partly because of you! Thank you Ruby❤
Hello Ruby December is starting, and a long vacation is starting for me next week. Technically not the autumn activity anymore, because snow is already dusting very lightly like sprinkled sugar Learning the Raven is SUCH a good idea. Basically a no-brainer. Shall do that. Paint bookpages... oh you mean PAINT ON? My heart... I shall do it on other paper The nature poetry sounds good and I have just the forest rim in mind, but shall move the time to sunrise I read on the train all the time on the one day a week, where I commute to work. Movie nights are good. I have queued up Hamlet, Much ado..., Frankenstein (Don't blame me. Once you have one Brannagh movie on your mind, you can hear the voices of the others) Memorise a poem. I am currently in the Shakespeare sonnet phase. Shall look if there are a few seasonal Anyways, thanks for sharing your list
My goal for this autumn is to read all of my unread books that are on my bookshelf. There's quite a lot of books that I've brought, that I haven't read. It might take me longer than the rest of this year. Cuz I'm a slow reader. I'm not as fast as you Ruby. Don't know how you get through books so quick.
My favourite Autumnal activity is knitting! There is nothing like wearing a cosy item that you made yourself. It's not really bookish, but I remember Hermione knitted a lot in the HP books, didn't she? And I strongly agree with what you said about memorising poetry. I love the anthology of poems I've started building up in my head! 😊
I love that you knit! What was the last thing you made? I honestly don't have the coordination for knitting, though I've tried many times haha! And I think it counts as bookish ;)
@@RubyGranger8 Thanks! The last thing I knitted was a pair of socks (actually the pattern is called 'Hermione's Everyday Socks') in a lovely, purple variegated yarn by LITLG. You should try knitting again! I know what you mean about the coordination: it took me a while to learn as well, but if you keep trying every now and again, you'll find that the skill grows subconsciously, especially when you're not looking! I find that doing something creative with my hands really helps the analytical side of my brain. If you're ever interested, I could send you some easy patterns (I am a veritable font of patterns as I spend a good deal of time looking at patterns on Ravelry 🙃).
Thank you, Ruby!!! This was such a lovely watch. I’ve been stressed lately as I’m applying to residency this cycle but this video brought me so much excitement for the season! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us 🤍
You made me grin so much when you made an outfit for the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue! I loved that book and I think you captured the essence perfectly
no but listen here the moment in the video where she's showing off her if we were villains inspired outfit - love it btw - she literally looks like elle fanning
To Autumn BY JOHN KEATS Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep, Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers: And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cyder-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours. Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,- While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
My favourite thing to do In autumn 🍂 is go apple picking, pick pumpkins and also buy some mums for the front of the house. I love to collect leaves and press them and also paint in nature. I love to photograph autumnal colours and autumn picnics are super amazing. I definitely need to memorize a poem. I wonder which Shakespearean sonnet has the most autumn 🍂 feel? 😊lovely and inspirational video as always. Thank you ❤
Ah, Christina Rossetti Emily Dickinson, two of my favorite poets; both wrote a poem called Autumn. Here's ED's version. The morns are meeker than they were, The nuts are getting brown; The berry's cheek is plumper, The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf, The field a scarlet gown. Lest I should be old-fashioned, I'll put a trinket on.
this is such a pretty video, there are so many shots where I really wanted to paint whatever was going on! for a moment in the booklook section you looked so much like Elle Fanning that I actually gasped and had to go back and rewatch it 😅
can you please do a video about how to appreciate the morning more and how to spend it? I am a student and my school starts at 12 p.m. so i just slept in and now i can't even get up early anymore. more like I can't enjoy mornings anymore. it's been hard for me
Ruby, I want to thank you for sharing this video. To be quite honest, I have never been interested in Frankenstein, and I still can’t say that I am, maybe one day I will read it. But, I am absolutely fascinated in the life, background, and the motivation of people that works that have withstood there test of time. I had had never heard of the movie Mary Shelley until your video and it was good. More importantly I want to spend some time reading about her and other classic women authors that pushed passed the obstacles in their live’s, culture, and period to write and share their works. I want to thank you for sharing this video. Suggestion: Maybe consider doing a video focused on classic women authors. I know that you have mentioned a handful of women writer but I would love to hear what you have to say about some others that aren’t often mentioned maybe because of scandal or literary politics.
While finishing up this video "Mary Shelley" popped up on my recommended watch list. It's streaming for free with ads on TH-cam if anyone wants to watch it in the States. I don't know about other countries? All excellent ideas I will have to try them. I'm definitely going to learn "The Raven."
An excellent book on this very important topic is, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking", by Susan Cain. How I wish it had existed when I was growing up and into my younger adult years! It would have saved me so much confusion and mental anguish, wondering what was wrong with me. Nothing was "wrong" with me. I was just an introvert. It's not a disease!
Ruby, would you share with us where your pumpkin sheets are from? They are lovely! 🎃 So was this video, thanks for all your work you put into making these☺️
Hello Ruby , i love your videos and in this one especially the autumnal outfits 🍁🍁. Would you like to share the brands for those pieces of clothing? thx ❤❤
My favorite Autumn thing to do is binge watching Ruby's videos.
lmao yes
Exactly
couldn't agree more
❤❤❤
PERIODDD🫂🫂🫂😭😭😭😭😭
Something I would recommend doing is making bookmarks, each containing something autumnal, for different books.
That's a great idea!
@@RubyGranger8 that is a good idea, bookmarks for each style of book or for an individual book if it is about Paris for example a book mark in Parisian style. That would be a great gift to make alongside a book as a gift for example.

Idea: Look up other pieces of art (music, paintings, architecture, etc.) that were published in the same year/decade as the book you're reading, to dive into the authors cultural world.
YES!

Love this one, ive just finished a similar project where i crocheted it instead but it was so fun!
I respect that Ruby gives her subscribers credit where credit is due and I love this video, getting me more into the Autumnal mode 🍁
What I really enjoy is doing baking and learning learning history in Music, Classics, and Literature.

I love how your "haunted" drink is still incredibly wholesome, whereas my first thought was combining milk, tomato ketchup and soy sauce
haunted doesn't have to mean cruel! Please don't tell me you tried that combo after watching this :p
Los voy a tener en cuenta para esta época del año (ya que ahora estamos en otoño)

very inspiring, extra cozy video Ruby 🥰
there is nothing better! And I'm pleased you liked the video :)x

Nobody appreciates autumn and books like our Ruby. And as always her big blue eyes can't be beat!
This is perfect timing! I was just looking for something to watch during a study break and this is just what I needed to keep me motivated ❤

my favorite is learning card tricks through magic books
Read the first chapter of a book while sitting beneath a tree or next to the bark of the tree. 🦋
collecting the leafs and writing the favourite book names on them.. i felt it could be an idea.
You could also make a library for the neighbourhood do you live and leave books for people to read, especially your favourite books

- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
- some ground nutmeg
- some of cinnamon

West Gallery music while reading Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree.

Technically not the autumn activity anymore, because snow is already dusting very lightly like sprinkled sugar
Learning the Raven is SUCH a good idea. Basically a no-brainer. Shall do that.
Paint bookpages... oh you mean PAINT ON? My heart...
I shall do it on other paper
The nature poetry sounds good and I have just the forest rim in mind, but shall move the time to sunrise

Movie nights are good. I have queued up Hamlet, Much ado..., Frankenstein (Don't blame me. Once you have one Brannagh movie on your mind, you can hear the voices of the others)

To Autumn
BY JOHN KEATS
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,-
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
Thank you for commenting this ♥️

Ah, Christina Rossetti Emily Dickinson, two of my favorite poets; both wrote a poem called Autumn. Here's ED's version.
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
I learned about the Rosettis in a couple of my Victorian lit courses. Makes me wanna research the family some more, just for the fun of it 😅
Love when you upload , it motivates me x
this is such a pretty video, there are so many shots where I really wanted to paint whatever was going on! for a moment in the booklook section you looked so much like Elle Fanning that I actually gasped and had to go back and rewatch it 😅
can you please do a video about how to appreciate the morning more and how to spend it? I am a student and my school starts at 12 p.m. so i just slept in and now i can't even get up early anymore. more like I can't enjoy mornings anymore. it's been hard for me
Ruby, I want to thank you for sharing this video. To be quite honest, I have never been interested in Frankenstein, and I still can’t say that I am, maybe one day I will read it. But, I am absolutely fascinated in the life, background, and the motivation of people that works that have withstood there test of time. I had had never heard of the movie Mary Shelley until your video and it was good. More importantly I want to spend some time reading about her and other classic women authors that pushed passed the obstacles in their live’s, culture, and period to write and share their works. I want to thank you for sharing this video.
Suggestion: Maybe consider doing a video focused on classic women authors. I know that you have mentioned a handful of women writer but I would love to hear what you have to say about some others that aren’t often mentioned maybe because of scandal or literary politics.
Thank you Ruby for inspiration 🍂
While finishing up this video "Mary Shelley" popped up on my recommended watch list. It's streaming for free with ads on TH-cam if anyone wants to watch it in the States. I don't know about other countries? All excellent ideas I will have to try them. I'm definitely going to learn "The Raven."
I absolutely loved this video🧡🍁
Your Villains look was so fun!
ahh thank you!
I definitely appreciated the idea for using beetroot powder as I have a jar and no idea what to do with it!
Just use it as food coloring. Think blood red pumpkin soup for Halloween or pink risotto.
I love that Ruby is a proud introvert society celebrates extroverts so much
Not really. Anyone who professes to be at either extreme is fetishised.
Not really. Take your nonsense elsewhere.@@teddycutler1
An excellent book on this very important topic is, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking", by Susan Cain. How I wish it had existed when I was growing up and into my younger adult years! It would have saved me so much confusion and mental anguish, wondering what was wrong with me. Nothing was "wrong" with me. I was just an introvert. It's not a disease!
@@Yesica1993As I say, and as you have thoughtfully demonstrated, modern society and culture celebrates (fetishises) introversion.
@@Yesica1993 Anyway, it's much more important that we deal with the real 'nonsense' which is claiming Keighley is near York.
