You have to read Anne of Green Gables!! She’s the true queen of puffed sleeves 💚 she romanticizes everything and even gives lakes and forests magical names!!

I love Moonrise Kingdom SO much - first time I saw it in theatres I bought a ticket for the next showing and watched it again. 💕 Sourdough, Chocolat and Emma are some of my favorite reads. I love how you described Gallant like Secret Garden - want to pick that one up now! 🍄

[@SkimwithSteph]

[@lisawitherby7827]

I really love The Secret Garden for springtime 🥰

[@bruzherpongomom]

🍄 I think another great read for Spring is Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore. And the cover is gorgeous!

[@balastajoannabeatricec.3736]

My late grandfather made me watch Matilda when I was a kid and it was the reason why I love reading right now. The aesthetic, ambiance and the characters were all so nostalgic and it's a comfort movie, you all better watch it.

[@cassiemckechnie]

Matilda is my favorite movie has been since I was little

[@natalijovel6431]

This video is exactly what I needed and was looking for, for spring! You never disappoint I love your videos. Thank you again for a great recommendations list for books and movies alike, and happy Spring!

[@silm7902]

👏 so cute thank you for all your recs!

[@courtneys5937]

🍄 Such a great list! thanks for putting this out!

[@KoriZunino]

Hi Lexi! I'm loving all of your recommendations 😃 I'm not sure if you do Spring Fling O' Ween, but I'm always looking for a reason/excuse to read spooky or Halloween themed books anytime of the year. I've recently found All Our Hidden Gifts (YA, paranormal fiction by Caroline O'Donoghue), and Curse the Day (an adult cozy paranormal mystery by Annabel Chase). I wanted to throw those 2 books your way, since I know those would be right up your alley 😃 Looking forward to your next video, and enjoy the rest of your week! ❤🧡☕🍄🍄🍄

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

Loved this, it's always a treat when you post a video! I had to buy that copy of Alice you showed us (even though that story always freaked me out as a kid) I think I need it in my classic children's book collection. Thanks for the other recommendations as well, I'm especially interested in Moonrise Kingdom and the Secret of Moonacre!

[@melissawillard8327]

I'm currently reading We Were Liars and it's a perfect spring/summer read! ☀ Also, these are such good recs! I haven't even read or watched Tuck Everlasting but it seems perfect for this time of year! 😍 I love your energy and thanks for sharing your own personal spring picks! ☀

[@danielletoye]

Great recommendations! 🍄❤

[@lauraa1345]

Thank you for all these wonderful recommendations, Lexi🍄🍄

[@mousumeenath4922]

Ohmygosh, I think you will really like A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Magic by T.Kingfisher. It's about a 14 year old witch with a sourdough starter for her familiar. Also, she can only do magic through bread but is tasked to save the people. Can she? It's a short book but is such an amazing one! 💓

[@paulamartinez6061]

I’d recommend Narnia and Anne of green gables

[@ReadingNymph]

I loved In An Absent Dream! Omg House in Cerulean Sea is just perfection 😭😭

[@SaltySaltySalty.]

Chocolat is a great movie too! 🍄

[@abrareads]

🍄 I read alive in wonderland last year and enjoyed it. I have never read mary Poppins, but might this spring now that you put it on my radar.

[@laurenschenck5355]

I love your videos Alice! So much! 🧡❤️🧡🤍❤️🧡🧡🧡💓💗💓💞💖💚💘🧡🤍📚📖📖📖📚💙🌈💙🤎🤎💛💛💛❣️💛💛💔💔🖤🤎❤️‍🩹📚📖📖📚🤍🧡🤍💕💞💕💝💜💜💘💖💖💖💚✨💜💓💕

[@lifewithhollyt]

Hi, Lexi! I am loving a lot of the books in this list! I've had my eye on a few for a while now. I shall be adding them to my GoodReads "to be read" list after this (name is Dolly Thorne)😊. As for the movie side there are a few I haven't actually heard of... To be honest the only ones I've heard of are Brigerton and Matilda 😅 oops. Thanks for another video though, Lexi! Loved it as usual 🥰 You inspired me to start my own KZbin channel again. I had one for years all about makeup but decided to start again with my new hobbies of Reading, Crochet and a plethora of other things 🥰 thank you so much! Hope to be as good as you one day! Sending love and light, Dolly xo 🍄🍄🍄🍄

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omgsh that’s so exciting about your channel congrats!!! 🎉 and you know what I actually had a makeup one before this too! Lol I called myself the makeup fairy and dressed up as a fairy while doing my makeup. Welcome officially to the booktube community!! 🥰🍾🎉💕

[@angeekay6021]

I need a book recommendation about a book set in a place on an island very tropical I would love a book about a character that lives on an island not on vacation. Any suggestions?

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

I appreciate the fact you included a gothic read. I personally love the idea of gothic/horror/thrillers set in summer or spring. Especially when it is in a green setting. Alice Adventures in Wonderland is definitely a very springtime read, and I am happy you included a wayward children book. I love that series, but I would personally argue all the books are springtime. I don't know why, maybe I just see portal fantasy as either a spring or a winter thing, maybe it is because in most of them nature is a prominent feature.

[@rachaelr7567]

Ugh I have Gallant standing by but I need to finish my CPA exam first! Joanne Harris (Chocolat) also wrote one of my favorite modern adult fairy tales, A Pocketful of Crows. It…changes you. Tuck Everlasting is such a lovely film. Even as an adult it really taps into something within me.

[@lookingforbooks]

YAAAAASSS Matilda! Im sooo glad you recommended it! It's so good but I dont really see many people recommending it. I think it's very underrated. The book, movie and the musical are all fantastic! Im a huge fan of Matilda! As for your book recommendations, I'll be checking out Tuck Everlasting! Im getting The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue vibes but...less dark? lol

[@michellebunting8050]

I read and watched Tuck Everlasting for your Touch of Whimsy book club and now it’s a definite staple of mine for spring. 🍄

[@jessielowery2370]

Love your videos!!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thank you! 😊❤️

[@fangirlllll3690]

I love these recommendations! 🍄

[@whitneyb.1741]

Love the recommendations. I wanted to know which edition the Alice in wonderland book is? Thanks

[@jessieartsdaily]

🍄 love this!

[@benbrelje1918]

I feel like you're always wearing that hat in your videos I love it I feel like at this point I recognize the Hat

[@HopeontheCoast]

Such a great list! I have that edition of Alice in Wonderland and it is absolutely gorgeous! 🍄

[@brenndasouzaa]

Could you link the edition of Alice in Wonderland that you have?

[@amberrhea5293]

I comment this on every video, but Chocolat is my favorite book of all time. And anyone who hasn't read it is truly depriving themselves of a whimsical experience.

[@josparx5372]

This video made me want to dress up in a floral sundress and have a tea party in a lush garden 🍄🍄

[@bunnyaudios]

Gallant is a book I need to get soon actually. I keep putting it back cuz I keep finding romance retellings instead. Whoops!

[@anaclarapimenta6481]

🍄 Love your videos. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@PaulWinters328]

Gallant sounds like something I'd like so thanks! Also, I love how you started with Alice in Wonderland and I'm literally typing this from Cheshire in England 😸

[@brandytaylor1986.]

I love sourdough bread yum

[@audreyhertz301]

Currently reading The Devil's Daughter and Electric Idol by Katee Robert.🍄

[@alyssabarroga6518]

🍄 hello! I love your recommendations, and I’m so happy Secret of Moonacre was included! There’s actually a book, A little white horse, where it is based from. I prefer the book more, but the movie is also remarkable.

[@itstiahra]

🍄🍄🍄 loved this!!

[@susanlawton9592]

🍄 We should so be friends ! Omg it’s Autumn in Australia 🍂🍁but I’ve already just watched and read most of these recently including yesterday ! Enjoy the Spring 🌼🌞😃🦋🦄

[@confessionofabookdragon]

I love Emma Approved which is a KZbin series along with The Lizzie Bennett Diaries (And there are novel adaptions of The Lizzie Bennett Diaries and The Adventures of Lydia Bennett) which is also a KZbin series I love. Saving Mr. Banks is a great movie following the story of how Mary Poppins was made into film. And there is a Cottage Core adult coloring book coming out soon or it already came out not sure.

[@mistymitchell2790]

I dont have the movie Matilda but I have the book and I have Alice in Wonderland too. Great video as always, thank you.

[@georgiefarr1094]

I'm currently in Vacaville, California visiting my sister and brother in law and a few days ago, I went to Barnes and Noble and I brought Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco and You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao and then I brought A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray from Savers, a thrift store and I was so exciting. I know that You've Reached Sam is a spring kind of book because the cover has cherry blossoms and its so sweet 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg that sounds like so much fun!! And you found such great books yay!!

[@erinstinson5735]

🍄 Bridgerton! I'm rewatching the 2 seasons, right now. I LOVE that show. I'm also reading Ella "The House in the Cerulean Sea". After I listened to the audio book, I felt that Ella needed to experience the book, too. She finds it crazy how morbid Talia is...but she thinks it's really funny, too.

[@Sam3liza1103]

🍄great recommendations!

[@athiya11]

🍄I love your recommendations 😍

[@emilylightsey6374]

Where did you find your edition of Emma?

[@camillea.2274]

🍄🍄🍄 Sourdough by Robin Sloan is actually a lot weirder and borderline Sci-Fin than I think you’re expecting 😅 But one of my faves nonetheless! Just definitely not cottagecore.
