ASMR Book Haul 📚 What I got for Christmas and Birthday!

I'm a bit late to the party as I was waiting my early Jan birthday so I could do a joint video :)
I am so grateful and excited for all these books, and feel exceptionally lucky to have some Folio Society books to add to my collection
Hope you enjoy the video!

The first few seconds of this video seemed to have an issue so I have cut them out! Its left a bit of an abrupt start but hopefully its ok :)

[@Ask571986]

Thank you for being someone who can talk while tapping. I hate asmr talking videos because most of the time people just talk and then they stop tapping because they can’t do 2 things at once/. You can do both, and it is GREAT!

[@gowroodane]

I love the way you handle and tap/ scratch the books as you talk about them! 🤤 so relaxing! Happy belated birthday! Some Excellent reads ahead!

[@SilverfishASMR]

😊 thank you. I totally know what you mean about handling things as some of my favourite asmr artists have a certain way of holding and moving things that is just so relaxing so I'm really pleased I can do that for you too 😊😊 thanks for a lovely comment!

You’ve got a knack for fun rambles and A+ book tapping

[@seolyewon796]

Omg!! I am always looking forward at your uploads 🥹 I just really love books and tapping. You are my absolute favourite ASMRtist! 💗

[@SilverfishASMR]

Aw thank you, I'm so happy you enjoy the videos 😊😊

I really liked My Sister the Serial Killer. A quick read and interesting original plot. And happy belated birthday!

[@SilverfishASMR]

I love interesting and original plots 🎉 very intrigued to try it. Thank you for the birthday wishes 😊

[@kimb884]

@@SilverfishASMRI wrote too soon as I was watching. I LOVE your Anne of Green Gables folio book. I may have to splurge on it. I love Anne so much. I visited Prince Edward Island and it’s absolutely gorgeous there.

[@SilverfishASMR]

@@kimb884 oh gosh what an amazing place to visit! The books are so beautiful, unfortunately our of production now so you have to scout out a good second hand one but the first book is quite readily available on eBay etc :)

[@mjofthenora]

You have so many great recommendations. I already had "Abroad in Japan" in my "Considering" shelf, now I know I have to get it. ❤

[@SilverfishASMR]

I'm really hoping for good things from it! Reading first few pages it seems like it's going to be fun 😁 glad you found some interesting books!!

[@gabrielexyz]

Happy Birthday 🎉 thanks for this relaxing video! I have also one of these annoying January Birthdays after all the holidays 😊

[@SilverfishASMR]

Aw thank you what a lovely comment to read, that's honestly made my day after a busy day at work! :) thank you 😍

[@asdfg4012]

Happy belated Birthday! A few months ago I saw a beautiful version of Anne of Green Gables at a bookstore and I had never heard of it before watching your videos, but i really liked your description of it in one of your past videos, so I decided to get it and I ended up really loving it too! 😊

[@SilverfishASMR]

That makes me so happy, thank you for sharing that story with me :) it's such a happy place in my head, and quite forward thinking for it's age I think. So glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Happy belated birthday! ❤ I feel so lucky that I have a June birthday (literally the last day of June) because not only is the weather usually really nice but there’s a nice gap between Christmas and my birthday. I’m always so impressed with how well you remember the synopses for books that you haven’t read yet, I struggle to coherently talk about the ones I HAVE read 😂 I’ve heard so many people gushing about Half a Soul, I’m still not sure whether I want to read it or not. The main thing putting me off is that it’s a series and the rest of the books are apparently not that great and my brain will not let me just read the first book 😂 I’ve been meaning to get to My Sister, the Serial Killer for so long, it’s been sat on my shelf for about three years! It’s so short as well so I want to try to get to it. Ahhhhh you got the Folio Society edition of The Haunting of Hill House! It’s so stunning, one of my favourite books of all time! 😍 What an amazing thing to collect! I’d love to see a collection video at some point in the future ☺️☺️ I DNFed We Have Always Lived in the Castle but I would like to give it another go in the future. That cover is STUNNING. Shirley Jackson is/was such an incredible writer. The Folio editions of Dracula, Pet Sematary and Rebecca are also so stunning from what I’ve seen on the website. I really loved Anne of Green Gables but wasn’t keen on the second one and so didn’t read the rest. The first one though is an absolute gem, it’s such a cosy and sweet book and Anne is such a fabulous character, some of the things she would come out with made me laugh so much. My husband and I are in a similar situation in terms of travel. We have a dog and a cat so it’s really difficult to go anywhere because I don’t like leaving them and my dog is actually my service dog which causes complications abroad because of legislation and rules concerning service dogs in different countries. We would love to go on a longer trip to Portugal as my husband is Portuguese but it’s just too difficult at the moment. I’m so glad you got so many amazing treats for Christmas and your birthday. You deserve all the love and joy and I hope 2024 brings you nothing but happiness ❤❤❤

[@SilverfishASMR]

Aw thank you for such a lovely comment and glad you enjoyed the video! I certainly envy your June birthday though do feel very lucky to have all these nice new books to enjoy 😁 I would love to do a folio society collection video at some point, I think they make nice asmr too with the covers! Hah, in terms of remembering things I do sometimes have some notes for prompts so it's not as impressive as it seems 😂 plus I love the way you talk about books, deffo don't put yourself down! :) If you do get round to reading any of these others I hope you enjoy! I will also try to leave my thoughts on them into a video somewhere along the lines! 😁 ❤️

[@katiek2481]

Do you prefer to buy hardbacks or paperbacks? I always go for paperbacks but sometimes I think the hardback covers look a lot nicer…

[@SilverfishASMR]

I feel exactly the same! I prefer reading a paperback but if it's a book I know I'll want to keep and cherish I sometimes go hardback :)

[@XOXOLOLA100]

Happy birthday 🎉🥳 “Half a soul” sounds like it maybe has a neurodivergent main character 🤔 Oooohhhh these Folios are definitely calling my name, soooo pretty 😍 I remember loving Anne of Green Gables when I read it as kid. I should reread it 😊 Fun fact: for some reason they randomly decided to not translate one of the books ( the fourth one I think) in the edition I managed to collect 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@SilverfishASMR]

Thank you for the birthday wishes! 😁 Oh how strange with your Anna Collection, I had no idea!! I think it will make a lovely springtime read 😊

[@XOXOLOLA100]

@@SilverfishASMR omg definitely, especially with all the blossom depictions 😍💐

[@suzdh]

Can you not get the whole Anne of Green Gables series in the UK? Or just from that specific seller? We definitely get them all in Canada.

[@SilverfishASMR]

You can definitely get a box set of all the but I don't think there's any more available in this folio version bar the first two! :(

[@suzdh]

⁠ah, I see. That’s too bad. Have you ready the second book yet? I love the whole series. Definitely recommend it!

[@ZackyASMR]

Cool video! Nice ❤

[@SilverfishASMR]

Hello! Aw thank you. I've definitely not gone, just had a busy few weeks and been taken down by a bad cough!! I'm starting to feel a bit better and hope to be back to filming soon 😊 thank you for your message it's definitely cheered me up! ❤️

I hope you’re ok. I’m sure we all miss your videos. I know I do.

[@SilverfishASMR]

Thank you, that's really kind of you. I'm not gone just felt really busy and not had as much time for reading and filming. However I am now in the depths of reading the court of thorns and roses series so hoping to do an update on that when I've finished :) I miss you all too, bare with me :)
