ASMR Favorite Books of 2024 📚🥸

[@ivana2530]

I kid you not this is my favorite video of all year! I’m anxiously waiting for it every year :)

[@MauveASMR]

I'm so glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy 💜☕📚

[@karenturner6648]

Your recommendations have never failed me. I have completely fallen in love with Natalia Ginzburg this year and was also gifted Saggitarius for Christmas which I can't wait to read. I also have to thank you SO much for pointing me to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan quartet. Simply stunning reads and she has fast become my favourite author. I recently bought Three Summers and it's next on my list. Already looking forward to your 2025 reads...thankyou! 😊

[@MauveASMR]

I'm so glad! Thanks for letting me know, this made my day 💜😊 If you liked the Neapolitan quartet, I really feel you'll love Three Summers. And Sagittarius, as you know, was a total treat for me, so I'm hopeful for you on that one too! Most of all, thanks for being here 🤗

Yaaaaaaaay, it's Mauve Monday!!! I always love your book videos, and I was waiting for this one! Added to my TBR!

[@Rocksandstuff-k5s]

[@Niihill]

so glad you read Clarice! Love your recs ❤ thankss

[@andreearx]

i LOVE your book videos 🥸

[@Carol12510crb]

Hi Mauve! I love hearing about your favorite books each year. You have excellent taste, my TBR just keep increasing. You talk about them so passionately it makes me want to read them. I started reading Having and Being Had on your recommendation and how engaging her writing felts since I'm not used to reading essays. It's also very interesting to learn about her thoughts as an American, she is very knowledgeable. I really like the book overall, but some parts are so vastly different from my reality that I could not say I loved it since there are very specific references to things I am unfamiliar with or cannot relate to. I'm so happy you read and loved Clarice Lispector's works! I'm obsessed with her, she is phenomenal. I even studied a book of hers in college in a kind of mentorship way with a professor specialized on her. I haven't read An apple in the dark yet! I need to get to it! Have a good week, Mauve 😊

[@MauveASMR]

Ooo which is your favorite of Lispector's? If you could only name one or two? / Which one did you study one-on-one? I'll definitely read it!! 💜

[@Carol12510crb]

@MauveASMR My favorite is the one I studied because it was the first one I read and the one I studied. It is considered one of her more mature works, it is called The Passion According to G.H. Another one is Agua Viva, it is very short, but excellent. I read just a little bit of it, but I got a copy to read in full as it is a very well loved one here. Besides her short stories, her chronicles are also very good as she captures life in her very unique way. In English, the collection seems to be called Too much of life.

omgg ive been waiting for this one!!

[@crumblelina]

Hi Mauve, as a fellow bookworm, I watch these with love, knowing you and I have slightly different taste in books - BUT one of my top reads of 2024 was a short book you once recommended, called 𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑅𝑢𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑔 𝐻𝑜𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙, and I'm so so grateful to you for this rec, that I have one that's potentially up your alley: 𝑁𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑏𝑦 𝐶𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑓𝑘𝑎. About various twenty somethings navigating Dublin life in the present when something happens in the sky that rocks social media briefly, before people choose to ignore it, bringing up important climate change conversations in the process. It looks like it would be a shallow read from the cover but it's actually a hidden gem. And I think you would appreciate it 💜Feliz Navidad y Nuevo Año 📚✨(formerly spazzatura)

[@MauveASMR]

I know what you mean! Sometimes I watch other book videos with simple appreciation that we're all out here reading, even if we have different tastes 😊 So glad you liked Frog Hospital, which I really really love, and I am adding None of This is Serious to my list immediately! Thank you!! Feliz año nuevo a vos tambien! Besos 💜🌟

[@gedeon3917]

Yes, I was waiting for your favourites and I’m not disappointed : a personal and unique selection, I’m taking notes! Favourites of mine this year : Ama Ata Aidoo, Our Sister Killjoy Fumiko Hayashi, Floating Clouds Joan Didion, Play it as it lays Natalia Ginzburg, The dry Heart (thanks to you!) Juan Rulfo, Pedro Paramo Alejo Carpentier, The Kingdom of this World Bahíyyih Nakhjavani, The Woman who read too much Anne Hébert, Kamouraska

[@MauveASMR]

Ooo saving a few of these to look into later! Thanks for the recs! 💜

[@coleenmatias1287]

3 of these books i have because of you! the alphabetical diaries, sagittarius (i bought recently along with dry heart, which i’m currently reading), and black outs. i also bought it lasts forever and then it’s over and apple in the dark. many of the books in my shelf are your recommendations 🫶

[@MauveASMR]

Oh wow that's so cool to hear! I hope you love them all! 🤓📚💜

[@salted-cherries]

thanks for sharing! :) my fave book was our wives under the sea; such a sad but beautiful love story

[@GabrielarCas]

I love your videos sooo much, they’re the most relaxing ❤🚀

[@MauveASMR]

Thank you!! 💜💜💜

[@sophie4553]

Fantastic recs! Loved this one

[@rebecca9949]

I look forward to this every year and love adding your recommendations to my TBR list for the next year! I have been slack on reading this year too, but I think the best book I've read is Giovanni's room by James Baldwin. Have you read it? I highly recommend if not!

[@MauveASMR]

Omg YES! One of my favorite books of all time! Great taste 💜

[@user-su1vs2kc7x]

oooh! giovanni's room MENTIONED!!! i'm trying to reread this book every new year and each time time i read it: ahhhh! it's a terrific new experience 🤍

[@sparrowgirl90]

i started parade earlier this year but had other books that were vying for my attention so i never finished it. this has encouraged me to pick it back up and try again! im also midway thru The Details per your recommendation and its such an interesting read. also: do you have goodreads or another book logging account? im so curious to see all that you read in one spot :-)

[@MauveASMR]

Ahh thank you for giving both a chance! I really love them and hope they do something for you too. As for Goodreads, no I don't have one, I just keep a list on Evernote 😊

[@reijalang679]

Hei Mauve, thank you for sharing your books and your thoughts with us. Rachel Cusk is a huge favorite of mine, and Ali Smith is another one. Perhaps you have read something from her too?

[@MauveASMR]

I read Autumn around when it came out but didn't like it much. Still have How to Be Both on my list though! 💜 Anything I should definitely check out?

[@aridassaASMR]

I knew Parade was going to make the list! That book! I’m fascinated by her writing even though I don’t connect with it.😂 I also loved The Details and I liked Sagittarius too. Thanks for those recs! I’m adding the others to my list. My favorites were Trust and also Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Oh, and I enjoyed this science-fantasy book called All The Birds In The Sky. Very cute and cool.

[@MauveASMR]

Haha yes I think the way you feel about Parade is the way I feel about Trust! I loved it and I'm also like -- I don't connect with it on a deeper level 😅 Glad you liked The Details and Sag! T&T&T I also really enjoyed, so we agree on that one as well! 💜

[@aridassaASMR]

@ I’ll continue reading Rachel cusk’s work cause her writing is so interesting. Second Place is definitely my favorite so far! But I do think about Parade from time to time. Look forward to your recs for 2025!

[@Grace-mb8tb]

I wait every year, time to go to the bookstore!

[@mellow8822]

🚀🚀🚀 I look forward to this video each year and always add the books to my list!

[@MauveASMR]

💜💜💜

[@SabsileT]

Yeiy, so excited for this video! I have yet to dislike a book you have recommended. Although it's probably not good for my wallet - The other day I was looking through my "Lit Fic Book Wishlist" in my notes app and realized almost all of them were recommendations from you! lol

[@MauveASMR]

I am honored hahah 🙏

[@coleenmatias1287]

ITS BOOK MAUVE MONDAY AHHH

[@JStrong85]

Love your book review videos. I totally passed out to this one. Eventually I was startled awake by an ad for the return of the McRib.

[@MauveASMR]

Oh no! Was it at the end of the video? I noticed this on one of my videos recently and was really disappointed in YT -- it didn't used to happen to me that YT would place ads at the end, but now they sometimes do, and there's no way for me to opt out of it (I can only opt out of mid-rolls) ☹️

[@JStrong85]

​@@MauveASMRyes at the end. It's all good though. I fell asleep on the couch and the ad prompted me to crawl into bed with the wife. The McRib may have helped save my marriage 😂

[@MauveASMR]

@@JStrong85 Hahaha happy for you 😇

[@floccinaucinihilipilificationn]

DONT FORGET ABOUT US WHEN YOU GET SUPER FAMOUS!!! MAUVE MONDAY FOREVER

Let me grab a pen and paper!! LOL i know I’ll like some of these!

[@jennasherriton7389]

I feel like everyone is recommending this book right now but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte. My favorite read this year!

[@MauveASMR]

Oh so weird I actually haven't even heard of it 😅 Seems interesting -- I'll keep my eye out next time I'm shopping!

[@evelyncleckler9167]

🚀 happy holidays!

[@MauveASMR]

Thank you! And happy holidays to you! 💜

[@ZackyASMR]
