Oh please do continue with this concept of seasonal book recommendations!😄🥰 I’m so excited to see what books you’d recommend for Autumn & Winter which are my favourite seasons too!🍁❄️
Love this video concept Ruby! Do you think you'll do one for fall??? I would love to see your fall book recommendations and I'm sure many others would too! Also, if you haven't read it, you should read Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. It feels like a modern American classic and it's absolutely beautiful. It also talks a lot about faith which I think you'd enjoy and it's such a good fall/winter read!!!
The concept behind Winesburg, Ohio sounds similar to Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine. For anyone seeking a slow-paced story about the passage of summer through the eyes of a small town, Dandelion Wine by Bradbury could be another great choice :)
I've read Fahrenheit 451 and a collection of christmas stories by him an have loved both! So i'll be definitely looking into Dandelion Wine. Thanks for the recommendation!
As someone living in the Deep South in the USA, South Dakota is not part of this area. I can see why there is confusion but it is northern Midwest. Similar in some ways but very different in other ways. Great list. I love Harper Lee and this year read the book Furious Hours by Casey Cep, all about Harper Lee’s life. One of the fascinating parts is that she grew up knowing Truman Capote. What a unique life she led. I need to read Atonement.
Ruby… you the the most amazing and inspiring TH-cam - er ever. Your hard work, discipline… concentration, dedication… humility… is inspiring a generation of people all over the world. I pray one day I have a daughter like you. Your parents must be super proud. Keep up the amazing work and do not pay attention to any negatives comments on here. Your amazing. In every way possible. Promise! ❤️
If you have not read it yet, I highly recommend the book Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. It is both a coming of age story about a young girl left alone in a shack in the marshes of North Carolina as well as a murder thriller. An excellent version of the book just came out as a movie in the US in July produced by Reese Witherspoon’s movie company. The descriptions of the marsh and nature are very much a part of the story. 🥰
The author who wrote that book is extremely problematic, so if anyone is to read that try not to buy a physical copy of the book as obviously that money goes straight to her
This is lovely; Ive finally gotten back to reading this summer (after a very long time, maybe 5 years?). I forgot how fun it was to delve into a fantasy world, especially with a lot of philosophical and heavy readings we have to do in school
Oh my gosh Ruby!! I have used that quote for years-“The past is a different country, they do things differently there,” for years because I saw it somewhere once. I liked it but have never really taken the time to look it up, I just think it’s an epic, dramatic quote lol!
The Go Between is a very atmospheric book and later a film. There is something beautiful about late summer in the deep Norfolk countryside. Its because I come from there I think, but something special and timeless.
Thank you, Miss Granger, for the recommendations. One of the quotes I live by comes from To Kill A Mockingbird, “Courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
Tender is the Night has incredible descriptions of summer in Europe as well! It's one of my favorite summer novels of all time, it's so descriptive and sweet and lazy.
I bought Tender is the Night a couple weeks ago for 30p at a second hand book sale! Haven’t read anything of Fitzgerald’s yet so super excited to read :)
I wonder if anyone else does this. When ever I’m watching these videos and ruby is recommending a bunch of books any that I think would be interesting and that I want to read I pause the video and find the book on Goodreads and add it to my want to read list. Even though it’s currently winter here in Australia. For me the best summer reads are the little house books. Farmer boy is my favourite because I just think all the food that is described in all of the books but especially farmer boy sounds sooooo good.
Even though summer is about to end, I always dig up any book recommendations from you. Small town stories always remind me of the later months of summer and the first of autumn.
Eudora Welty’s “Delta Wedding” is absolutely gorgeous and atmospheric and poetic and perfectly captures Mississippi in Summer. If you like Harper Lee, I can’t recommend Eudora Welty enough! 💛📚
Nature writing is my favorite as well!! I highly suggest checking out "Sisters of the Earth: Women's Prose and Poetry about Nature" the second edition! It's a collection of writing by women and it's a wonderful read. And, since it's a collection, you can read one prose or poem quite quickly 🥰
Another great summer book, in my opinion, is ‘All My Mothers’ it’s beautifully written and explores the life around wealth and how different families can have different impacts on one’s life.
I read Me & Emma last summer because of the enthusiasm you had when you talked about it in a video about your favourite books (or your bookshelf tour). I loved it and it was horrible not having anyone to discuss the end of the book with. It was 3am and I couldn't stop reading 😅😂. Thank you so much! A Spanish follower of yours who never misses a video if you talk about books 😊
Hey Ruby! I read the To Kill A Mockingbird recently and then I run to buy the sequel. Even if it's not as good as the first one, it has the same feeling and it brings some closure to the whole story. I highly recommend !!
South Dakota is actually in the Northern United States, not like the deep south at all! Guess it's an easy mistake because the name is misleading...just thought it was funny. :) Great recommendations! I will have to try them out.
Feeling like you're constantly overlooked can make us question our worthiness Your worth can never be determined by someone else, People not giving you the credit that deserve is always their loss. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone.
Love your recommendations! I would love to see a video of books that you thought you would love and either couldn’t finish or didn’t enjoy and your reasons for that!
Hey Ruby! Have you read any Tolkien books? I feel like you would love his style of descriptions. I know you are not really into fantasy, but the way he eases you into the genre is fantastic. I just finished reading most of his Middle-Earth books, and I fell in love with them! His love for language shines through in the archaic English he uses and the languages he himself created. Nature is also a major theme in his novels, so they are a perfect summer read! Enjoy your summer!
You put it so well! I feel like his books can have this stigma around them for people who aren’t into “modern” fantasy books but in reality he is like Shakespeare of fantasy, for lack of a better description on my part :D The books are EXCELLENT regardless of their genre. One of the many things I personally love about them is how much importance is placed on friendship and platonic relationships, and the ever present sense of hope against all odds.
@@shaunOG91 Exactly! It's because of that "stigma" that it took so long for me to get into the books. Every time I heard of the Lord of the Rings I immediately imagined something like Harry Potter wizard magic or something like an urban fantasy, yet it's nothing like that! I mean Tolkien wrote The Lay of Leithian, a poem with over 4200 lines of iambic tetrameter! The LotR is fantastic, but once you read past that, particularly the Silmarillion, there really is no going back :)
Yea, Tolkien is No 1! His letters are also amazing, especially the one when he humiliated Hitler for his ignorance. Very brave Man, much ahead of his time...LOTR is a must read. I personally appreciate him more than Shakespeare.
As all of your videos, this book recommendation video has been awesome and the vibes are magnificent. To kill a Mockingbird is also one of my favorite books of all time. Thank you for all the effort that you put on all your content. You and your video have highlighted my day. Kisses and hugs from Spain!!
Hello Ruby! First of all thank you for these great recommendations. I was wondering if you could do a video of recommending books about 'old money privileged families, New England, preppy, secret society' type of books? I actually have a few recommendations from you, but I was hoping for more. Have a lovely day! 📚🌸🌷 Cassie
Unpopular Opinion but I hated We were Liars. Mainly because of the weird feeling when reading about her trauma while knowing myself a lot about trauma and family dynamics by personal experience and studying psychology. The writing was actually what I liked (the poetry like writing style). For me it is a no but recommend for summer: The last summer (Ann Brashares)😭, Waiting for you (Susan Colosanti)💞, The Spymaster's Lady (Joanna Bourne)🤭 and as Thriller for Summer Night the Smoky Barrett Books by Cody McFadyen🤩 Maybe nobody asked but anyway 🤷
I think you would really love The Offing by Benjamin Myers. I love rereading it in the summer, it’s a lot about nature-writing, food descriptions, poetry and the English countryside. It’s marvellous and beautiful and poetic and makes me so melancholic for summer every time 🤍
IF you are interested in World War One, try "Soul of the Soldier" By Thomas Tiplady who was a chaplain in the BEF. It was published in 1917. Try the poem "High Flight" by John Gillespie Mcgee Jr. It is from World War II RCAF Battle of Britain. KIA 1941.
Ruby that for sharing. I wanted to make a small correction, South Dakota isn’t in the Deep South. There are a few states in the U.S. where there is a south and north state (and one with a west).
Yay! I need more Ruby+Books content. Love them😍😊 Oh God I tell myself that "I'm gonna read (To kill a mockingbird) next" almost every day! I guess this is a sign for me to just start it🤣
I think the perfect summer read for you, which also encapsulates the slow, sticky, languid nature of summer, is “Bonjour Tristesse” by Françoise Sagan🥰
“He captures the languid slowness of summer so well” -Ruby I don’t think I’ve ever met a person where I could say a sentence such as that without being given a weird look. But, Ruby’s subscribers just eat this up.
I only read "The Life of Elves" this summer and I thought it had a very interesting concept, though it surprised me in the sense that it is very different from Muriel Barbery's other novels. If you get the chance, I highly recommend you read "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by the same author (if you haven't already) - it's one of my favourite books of all time!
For any reader, whether feeling as if there's a void in your life or experiencing tribulations, no matter how severe they may be, may you be reminded always: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33. God is with you always, no matter how far away and disconnected you may feel from Him, know that when you made or make that decision to follow Him, your are forever His.
I am now reading 'we were liars' because of your recommendation last year :) I'm so intrigued to know the ending (that I've heard has a little bit of a plot twist haha). The summer vibes remind me of the holidays I usually spend on an island (not a private one lol) and since it is my 'first' summer book of the year I have been enjoy it very much!
You uploaded your video at the perfect time. I’m currently playing a chess tournament in India and you uploaded this video at the rest day we had and so I had time to watch it as soon as I saw it without feeling guilty about not preparing or analysing my games😅 I love your videos you motivated me soo much to be more organised and try my best in school❣️
@@carawatson5025 yes, I play the Olympiad. How long have u been playing chess? If u love chess and u study it a lot u will get better and maybe play in the Olympiad someday!😘
@@OrlaGraceMcNeil thanks so much for the kind words! I started roughly two years ago. After I watched the Queens Gambit hahaha… The Queens Gambit series was also one of the main reasons I first joined a chess club but now I also got really into watching all the Chess streamers hahah When did you start playing and what’s your rating? X
@@carawatson5025 uhh yeah, I love the Queens Gambit series because lots of people started playing chess because of it. Especially girls and the chess world definitely needs more female players! I stared playing at 5 (both my parents play competitively and my dad’s also a chess coach) and my rating is about 2000 😘
I recently started reading books after a long time now and you are my inspiration, so can I ask you for few recommendations for beginners I would really appreciate it. I love you ❤️
Ruby, your videos are sooo lovely! I can’t describe how much i adore them! I really want to read we were liars and have always wanted to hear your opinion on the book. Greetings from Germany 💗🥰
1) My favourite summer book is "My Family & Other Animals". 2) I stil hate Briony. :) 3) And, what about Tolkien? Have you read some of his masterpieces? The Silmarillion is just supreme...👍♥️
@@jane-xe9qx Definitely. Peter Jackson and his team did amazing work but unlike the Harry Potter movies, these movies are only adaptations. Furthermore, "The Hobbit" movie trilogy is Peter Jackson's original work only loosely based on Tolkien's rather short book. Tolkien's son Cristopher was totally against the LOTR movies just as a whole army of Tolkien's fans, but we have to admit that Jackson and Philippa Boyens encapsulated the essence of the books, which was not at all easy with limited amount of time as it was not TV series. In LOTR they had to cut out a lot of the original "lore"...So, the answer is: Yes, the books differ from the movie and it is very interesting to compare them...

Oh please do continue with this concept of seasonal book recommendations!😄🥰 I’m so excited to see what books you’d recommend for Autumn & Winter which are my favourite seasons too!🍁❄️
I would always recommend „Bonjour Tristesse“ to read in summer - it‘s marvellous

I should also say that if you love To Kill a Mockingbird you should love Peace Like a River
South Dakota isnt in the deep south. Its Northern midwest. Very different from the south.
I totally agree with To Kill A Mockingbird as a summer book. Its description of heat and the sweat still sears my mind.
The concept behind Winesburg, Ohio sounds similar to Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine. For anyone seeking a slow-paced story about the passage of summer through the eyes of a small town, Dandelion Wine by Bradbury could be another great choice :)
I've read Fahrenheit 451 and a collection of christmas stories by him an have loved both! So i'll be definitely looking into Dandelion Wine. Thanks for the recommendation!

ive just finished it and it is so good!
@@orla2821 Why?
@@orla2821 "the author is exremely problematic" - Don't care, lol!
My British heart cried when I saw that you made your tea with hot water FROM THE TAP WITHOUT BOILING IT 🥲😂
I think its one of those new taps that is boiling water literally on tap.
You should start a podcast! weather it be about books or something else your voice is so calming! also perfect for ASMR.
This is lovely; Ive finally gotten back to reading this summer (after a very long time, maybe 5 years?). I forgot how fun it was to delve into a fantasy world, especially with a lot of philosophical and heavy readings we have to do in school
Reading is absolutely f*cking WACK

Atonement is set in 1935 and WW2 not WW1

if you haven’t read it already, i’d absolutely recommend my favorite summertime read: dandelion wine by ray bradbury!!
Love all the video of Ruby Granger 🥰🥰🥰💋😘❤️
Check out Isabel Allende's Daughter of fortune.... Loved it
I’d love to see your favorite autumn recommendations and I’m sure others will as well!
Im reading To kill a mockingbird beacuse of you! Thank you for metionting this book in this list because it just a really nice book to read. 💚
lots of good reads sweet Ruby 😋
Immediately went and got the ebooks for 5 of them, can’t wait to read these!! You have great book recs Ruby, thank you for sharing them!
I live in ohio. And in a nearby town they have a winesburg festival in clyde ohio usa. Very cool
IF you are interested in World War One, try "Soul of the Soldier" By Thomas Tiplady who was a chaplain in the BEF. It was published in 1917. Try the poem "High Flight" by John Gillespie Mcgee Jr. It is from World War II RCAF Battle of Britain. KIA 1941.
She explains the plots of each book with so much attention to detail ❤ very clear and understandable
Ruby that for sharing. I wanted to make a small correction, South Dakota isn’t in the Deep South. There are a few states in the U.S. where there is a south and north state (and one with a west).
Ruby try reading “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by Muriel Barbary. It’s so exquisite and I think you would enjoy it .❤️
24:38
South Dakota is actually really far north. Like only one state from Canada. Just wanted to share this. Sorry.
Omg, I just love tea just like you and I just want to drink it rn
Dinner with Churchill by Ceta Stelzer is a good book
Last summer I read “How I live Now” by Meg Rosoff and it was incredible! Also the movie is one of my favourites:)

Tolkien's son Cristopher was totally against the LOTR movies just as a whole army of Tolkien's fans, but we have to admit that Jackson and Philippa Boyens encapsulated the essence of the books, which was not at all easy with limited amount of time as it was not TV series.
In LOTR they had to cut out a lot of the original "lore"...So, the answer is: Yes, the books differ from the movie and it is very interesting to compare them...
Nice concept 😃✅
