What a lovely list of spring time reads! One of my favorites for this time of year is Elizabeth von Arnim's "The Enchanted April" ... also made into a movie in 1991. 🌺
So glad to see this movie mentioned a few times here in the comment section! It’s a perfect read for springtime 🌸
I was going to comment the same thing!!
Anne of Green Gables is a perfect Spring read for myself. But I love your recommendations Carolyn as always .
I have Charlottes Web and haven't read it yet, so I will. Happy Spring reading 💖🌿🌷🌼🌲🌳☘️🐞🐇🐑🌺🌿🌿
Charlotte's Web is beautiful. I read it for the first time all in one go when I was in seventh or eighth grade. So good.
Just saw a local performance of the Secret Garden musical and cried at the end! Such a beautiful story that i am excited to sit down and read now in the spring. Dandelion wine is one of my favorite books for late spring early summer, as the weather starts to warm up!
I’ve been ill in bed with scarlet fever and your video about Spring pops up. So lovely. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Sending you warm wishes for a healthy recovery.
Wish you a speedy recovery. ❤
I hope you feel better soon. 💕💕
I hope you get well soon 🥰
Please feel better...prayers!
first book i read of Frances H. Burnett was A little princess and my god its a beatyfull story, next is secret garden and i love it too
'A Room with a View' is one of my very favorite movies. Daniel Day Lewis' performance is wonderful.
E.B.White also wrote wonderful essays about nature, country life, gardening, etc.
Autumn literally started today in my country, but I'll save this for September hahaha Thanks for the book recommendations, I have already read 4/10 so good
i’m going to be re-reading all of the anne of green gable books. i think they fit spring time! :D 🌸 the secret garden, emma, a room with a view and circe are all on my tbr and this video has encouraged me further to get through them! 💕💕also your voice is so calming
I love reading Aesop's Fables in the spring🌷. Lovely video!
My favorite Spring book is The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim. The Italian Riveria, a 15 century castle on a hill and springtime; what could be more perfect? 🌹🌺🌸🌼🪻🌻❤😊
Yes it’s a really good book!! Super relaxing, peaceful, and atmospheric
Same here! 💖
I’m excited to read the secret garden and emma soon! Lovely recommendations 🌸
I’m hoping to read Emma soon because I also thought the trailer for the movie looks so perfect for spring! I just read A Fragile Enchantment and it felt so perfect for spring, it describes sunshine and flowers so often!
I love reading seasonally, and I think spring is my favorite seasonal reading time! I loved watching this video; thank you for making this! I've read 7/10 of these books! I just need to read Upstream, Circe, and The Last Tree! I think Middlemarch is also a great spring read; I'm so glad we are reading it for Game of Tomes!
I recently read a collection of the 'rabbit school' books for my work in an illustrated children's book museum. It's absolutely lovely and I'd recommend it as a spring read :)
The Secret Garden is a perfect spring book your right 😊.
No particular reason, but I could read as well: The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared - by swedish author Jonas Jonasson. Just a funny book to wake you up after winter blues.
Love your energy!
Happy Spring and happy seasonal reading everyone! My favourite season is finally here yay 🌷🌱🌼🌿
Wonderful video as always, thank you Carolyn xx
Yes!!! I have been wanting this video and so glad you made it ❤
I soooo get so excited when I see you uploaded a video!!! I love it
so many amazing classics ❤ i loves wind in the willows and a room with the view is on my tbr ❤
You are my favorite booktuber 😊💙
I adored Tuck Everlasting when I was younger. It may be time for a re-read!
Circe is my all time favorite book, loved all of your spring time pics. Bless You
That Circe cover is STUNNING. I was just having a conversation with a friend about re-reading books we read as children and Tuck Everlasting was one of them. You're convincing me to read it this Spring!
Love you Carolyn, thank you for all these recommandations ❤️ read Tuck Everlasting on your recommandation a few years ago and loved it! Can't wait to pick another from this list and read it!. Hope your'e all right
Love the video and the recommendations! 🌸
Wonderful recommendations, as always. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
I love this video, Carolyn! Your pretty pink cardigan was a nice touch for springtime too. I'm so ready for pretty weather. I'm a spring baby, and winter was especially rough this year for me personally. Some books that I'd like to read soon are Upstream, The Secret Garden, Mrs. Dalloway, A Room With a View, Anne of Green Gables, Emma, The Hobbit, Charlotte's Web, and The Enchanted April.
Carolyn, it's Fall in Brazil, but i love your Spring's recommendations! 🌺🌸🍁🍂
Great recommendations!
❤📚 I've read all but The Last Tree. Rereading is a great idea!
Some great books mentioned. Best wishes with what you choose to read. Spring on its way.
Loved those spring recommendations so much!
So happy to see you've started off with The Secret Garden! It's my favourite book of all time and I reread it every spring (just started this year's reread, actually). The 1993 adaptation is a favourite of mine as well :) Mrs Dalloway, Emma and Tuck Everlasting are also books which I've made some really lovely memories with.
I'll be sure to check out those of your recommendations which I haven't had the chance to experience yet!!
Also, as a big musical theatre fan, I've always felt like the Tuck Everlasting and Secret Garden adaptations sound like the atmosphere of each other's original books... if I'm getting my meaning across. I mean, Tuck has always been a very early-autumn book to me, and the musical version is on all my spring playlists; meanwhile, I like to describe The Secret Garden book as 'spring in book form' because of the way everything develops slowly from the grey and cold of winter to the vibrant colours of spring, and then the musical just gives off September vibes to me for some reason. Either way, I love both of those. The Alexis Bledel Tuck film is not my cup of tea, though... I mean, independently it's fine, but it's not my Tuck adaptation.
Then there's Emma... the titular character's relationship with Harriet reminds me of my best friend to this day. And Mrs Dalloway was the first book I read in preparation for my English major at uni all of six years ago. Septimus is my favourite character too, and I remember walking into class on the day we were discussing the book and saying, completely unprompted, 'Why is this thing called Mrs Dalloway when the main character is clearly Septimus?'... yep, that did start a discussion, alright. I think deep down I just felt that way because I found him relatable.
Well, this has gone on for a very long time, sorry for the wall of text haha :) I just enjoyed so many of the books you've mentioned and I second the recommendations wholeheartedly xx
I can recommend a very spring-like read : Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust ☺️ and all the books of Remembrance of Things Past !
Thanks for posting this video.
I was thinking of reading Emma this spring! this might just be my sign to do it :)
This is my year for classic reads. I read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights over the winter. I am now about a quarter of the way through Pride and Prejudice. I don’t know if it would be considered a springtime book, but it is definitely lighter than the other two 😊 happy spring 🌸🌺🌷🌼🌿🌱
We've just entered autumn down here in Brazil, but spring is my favourite season and I love reading books with spring vibes, so I'll definitely be taking these recommendations!!! PS: I looove that I read most of the books you recommended and so many of them are my favourites!!
I have been slowly reading Pollyanna off and on for months. It feels like a Spring book so maybe I'll finally get through my reading slump and finish the last 40 pages. Also listening to Middlemarch on audio. It feels spring-y as well.
This is so weird because i decided to read Mrs Dalloway today and then i see this! Maybe its a sign. I love your channel! ❤️
I went to a local bookstore and picked up seven books, two of which you've coincidentally recommended. It feels meant to be❤
This is such a great collection of Spring books! Some I definitely want to revisit now and some have been on my TBR for a long time, now seems like the right time to pick them up! Also, seeing you next to Alexis Bledel I'm realizing you kind of resemble each other!
I love reading Charlottes web and love the cartoon version
Such a great selection! Now I just hope it chases the rains away too :D
The Secret Garden and Tuck Everlasting are two of my favorite books
Walden popped into my mind. I’ll see if it’s on your list as I haven’t watched it yet. ❤️
Vote for the secret garden❤ I first read it in elementary school and reread it in university and it is still my favourite children’s literature! Thanks for sharing this great reading list❤
And the ending 🥰
i just brought Room With A View as it seems like a perfect Spring read!
I loved Tuck Everlasting when I was a kid. I think a lot of the 2005 era books really riffed on it.
Can't wait to get back into reading in April after my exams
Ahh, "Upstream!" As a poet myself she is my favorite poet and biggest inspiration. I just love her and her essays give such insight into her life. I highly recommend her last collection "Devotions." I've read it 4 times so far LOL, I recommend reading it from the end to beginning to see her growth as a poet. BTW what do you write? I love your personality and your videos.
These are good season recs! Thanks for that hope you do the same for the other seasons. Happy Reading 📚 😊
I love reading the secret garden and jane austen in spring🌸✨ but also the little house in the praire series and beatrix potter's books 🌷🐰
I warmly recommend Jill Barklem's Spring Story 💮🥀🍀🍃🌞☀🌧🌈🌦😊 And as an illustrator, I'm sure you will love it because it has exquisit illustrations as well 🖌😀
I read Secret Garden last spring.
Haha .. the last scenes are amazing! Such a big grin and laughter of Carolyn made me smile 😊❤😂 I would be reading Don Quixote hopefully. What are you doing this Spring?
If you haven’t, listen to the musicals for The Secret Garden and Tuck Everlasting Musicals. They’re so so gorgeous!
I'm afraid i'm occupied already this Spring. I'm reading Monte Christo by Dumas and Zorro by Isabelle Allende at the moment. In April I get Notre Dame De Paris by Victor Hugo as a birthday-gift. that'll consume my Spring readingtime I think, if not my whole year...
For poetic, humanity in nature, wisdom-packed non-fiction, I would recommend „Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer
It's the start of Autumn right now for me, and I have quite a bit of nature writing lined up. Also I feel in the mood to read some Ali Smith, which feels very autumnal somehow. Have you seen the edition of The Secret Garden illustrated by Inga Moore? It's gorgeous.
Well, my seasonal reads are based on the local book deposit box. People share books that way. So I just picked up some Dostoïevski and a history book ❤
Thanks for the nice video! If you like the theme of seasons, you might also like Dream Life: A Fable of the Seasons by Ik Marvel (Donald Grant Mitchell). It's a sentimental story about the life of a person in the 1800s, and each major stage of the person's life is represented by one of the four seasons.
I LOVED The Secret Garden when I was a little kid, then I reread it and found out is the most colonialist book I've ever read, lol. It's a perfect example of colonialism in literature as a project, cause the story would work perfectly without it being in England but the author makes sure it van only happen there and all it makes Mary a better person is basically being in England. I'd love a rewriting that explore how Mary's transformation is related to the change of class she goes through from being a coloniser to becoming closer to the working class, and how race plays a part in it cause the working people are white like her. Just keep the descriptions of the garden, though, they're very wholesome
Call me by your name...Is perfect for spring to bring a tinge of sadness in your life....
Sigh...I have such a desire to drop everything in my life and just...
read.
Ahhh i love Tuck everlasting, I didn’t know there was a movie. I read this for the first time in middle school and i literally picked it up yesterday for a reread to read it to my puppy❤️❤️❤️. The first line is so beautiful and springy so this was such a good pick ! I also have the same copy as you, you should use it for a 24 hr readathon 👀🫶🏽
🎇🙋♀️😊Thank You So Much for These Wonderful Spring Book Recommendations📚😊.🌸💮🪷🌼I Plan to Reread Charlotte's Web,Emma, TheWind In The Willows + The Blue Iris By Mary Oliver😊📚 Will Read For The Time A Room With A View and Or Felicity by Mary Oliver. I am Enjoying Reading Middlemarch😊📚
