ASMR Summer Book Recommendations ☀️

[@carys7417]

My Master’s dissertation is due the day after tomorrow so I cannot WAIT to purchase some of these books once I’m free! Summer of reading, perfect timing Mauve ✨

[@MauveASMR]

WOO! Congrats on your dissertation! Sending you lots of focus as you finish it up and a hug for when you celebrate! 🥳🥳

[@alexvryzakis]

Oh wow - Bonjour Tristesse was one of the main pieces of literature that I referenced in my personal statement when I applied (and got in!) to University for Modern Languages. I never expected to encounter it here on ASMR youtube haha 🤓 Thanks as always for the recommendations Mauve!

[@MauveASMR]

Oh amazing! And congrats on getting in! Sounds like it'd be a university with some very cool programs

[@emmak4938]

Bonjour tristesse is on my shelf, I started reading it and this summer will be perfect to pick it back up. Also read hot milk, can't put my finger on why I liked it. Love the lilac nails 💜

[@MauveASMR]

Same! Hot Milk is so subtly strange and I loved it

[@lee9181]

I love summer book recommendations, I was just thinking about "summer books". Thank you! Would love if you have any more any time!

[@liveforthemusic96]

Gorgeous video as usual! Great reccs, I adore Sagan and Cusk and I'm adding The Virgins to my list. A couple books that i would recommend for summer are 'Small Bodies of Water' by Nina Mingya Powles, a collection of essays/memoir about her childhood in different places. Full of descriptions about swimming, water, and coastlines. Also 'Three Summers' by Margarita Liberaki, a beautiful coming of age novel following 3 sisters growing up in the countryside near Athens.

[@MauveASMR]

YES Janine coming through with more excellent recommendations! Thank you so much! 💜

[@liveforthemusic96]

@@MauveASMR hahaha most welcome! thank you for yours :)

[@unfairweather]

Haha whoa 3 summers was in the summer book recs video today, 2 yrs latee

[@iwastesomuchtime21]

As a librarian who mostly reads genre fiction, I watch a lot of book recommendation videos to help me get out of my wheelhouse and this was fantastic! I put several of your suggestions on hold and can’t wait to recommend your picks to library patrons!!

[@MauveASMR]

I'm so glad! If you have any good genre recs feel free to leave them here! I don't know much about genre fiction but I'm a big fan of Sarah Waters if she counts. Also thanks for all you do as a librarian 🤗

[@autumnal2894]

i always love hearing about books you read. have you read "the push" by audrey audrain or "a certain hunger" by chelsea g. summers? they're part of my personal favorite genre: "unhinged women." also your necklace is so pretty!

[@maevecarey4374]

please give more recs for those types of books!!

[@MauveASMR]

I haven't read either but you better believe these are getting added to my list! Thanks for the recs! Also thank you! It's from Hey Happiness, I think the link is in the description if you're interested :)

[@autumnal2894]

@@maevecarey4374 a couple of my friends and i just started a book club where we read books we think will fit into the category so we can make a master list ☺️ so we will have more for you soon hehe we’re planning to read eileen by ottessa moshfegh next!

[@dena92]

I read "Hot Milk" last Summer and I loved and adored it sooo much that I want to read a second time. Perfect Summer read. Thank you for the recommendation's ❤

[@MauveASMR]

Oh I think I'll reread it too! That sounds so fun

[@TheSarahJodi]

I watch your book videos during the day so I don't fall asleep and miss out on the great recommendations 🤩

[@Clnbandt]

I just got back from Italy having taken Hot Milk with me, what a dreamy holiday read I couldn’t put it down! A fabulous recommendation thank you!! 💛

[@MauveASMR]

AHhh I'm so glad! WHAT A PICK FOR ITALY 💜

[@kimb884]

I loved Mrs Caliban! I read it at the cabin last summer.

[@MauveASMR]

Ahh I'm so glad! It really holds up

[@jocelynpaz6710]

Going to the beach in a week 🙌🏼 definitely getting these book recommendations. Thank you Mauve for the wonderful video :)

[@Greanbean4816]

Great recommendations! I also hate deckled edges because I like to be able to flip through the book smoothly. I do think they look pretty though :)

[@MauveASMR]

Right? Very pretty but I don't want to touch them

[@kimb884]

I can’t find your video where you recommended the novel Cold Enough for Snow by Jessica Au but I wanted to tell you how much I’m loving it. What a beautiful, unique story. I’m almost finished with it and just now discovered on page 83 the word “mauve.” Did you notice that? ❤️ I love your book hauls. You’re the best on KZbin. I’ve ordered so many books you’ve discussed.

[@MauveASMR]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it and have checked out other books I've recommended too -- that makes me super happy! Also yes lol every time I encounter the word mauve, especially when I'm reading 👀

[@michelleswhispersasmr]

I absolutely loved this video it was the perfect combo and it made me wanna read all these books! The first two really sound amazing as well as “hot milk”, thank you so much for the recommendations ☺️✨

[@jasminejackson3731]

hi mauve! both of these books are quite different but the great Gatsby and convenience store woman are very good and not too long books which kind of whisk you away to your own little world and are good in the summer :)

[@MauveASMR]

Great recs! Now you've got me thinking I should reread Gatsby, I really really loved it

[@saracontesavieasmr]

Books and Asmr, you bet I'm going to watch this ! KZbin recommendations definitely knows me ahah ♥

[@ASMRyvette]

I am totally sold on getting Hot Milk but also, I wanted to know which was your favorite? I was also pretty intrigued by Mrs Caliban -in part bc I might be (erroneously?) projecting a little Kafka into the green frog-man. Plus "a perfect novel" isn't something The New Yorker throws around casually. Last I LOVED the side-notes I'll call them... It felt like you broke the forth wall (but that doesn't make any sense bc you're already talking to us :P). It happens at 16:16 for example. So good. Totally going to try to remember to try my hand at that! 🤍

[@MauveASMR]

Of these my favorite is probably Outline or Hot Milk-- or Bonjour Tristesse. But honestly I love them all!

[@Lu-uc4ws]

Love your book videos. Thanks Mauve!

[@Lily-my2jw]

I love Because Internet! It's the book that motivated me to major in Linguistics!

[@user-mr7sx9mi9b]

Great list! Love Mrs. Caliban especially. For boarding school novels, have you ever tried Sweet Days of Discipline?

[@MauveASMR]

OMG YES I read and loved Sweet Days of Discipline! Thank you for bringing it up!

[@alexiszorba69]

Hello Mauve, I’m French but never read any books by Françoise Sagan so far. Maybe one day, who knows? Currently, I’m reading "The House of Mirth" by Edith Wharton and it's a great novel! I like the way you introduce us to those books. Your voice is very soothing to me. I send you my best thoughts and wish you happy reading! ☀️📖

[@Jordana1018]

I love the suggestions also how you don’t see all of your face makes it all mysterious.

[@jacobautawitz2151]

A perfect little weird, but fun boom serious to read is either the lockdown series, it gets a little confusing the deeper you go in but great in the first few books, and Charles higson the fallen series.

[@confetticottage]

I LIVE FOR THESE!!! You’re the besttttt ❤

[@confetticottage]

okay i rannnnnn to get mrs. caliban! can't wait. your vibes are everything to meeee

[@MauveASMR]

Omg I think you're going to love it!! If you remember I would LOVE to hear your thoughts 💚

[@TheWhisperTexan]

I'm all about the books. 📚

[@ZackyASMR]

Hi mauve! Happy Monday

[@MauveASMR]

Happy Monday Zacky!

[@sully2932]

I listened to this up at my pool so I would call this video a prime beach read

[@Soleilasens]

Love it!!

[@loveshot98]

very glad to have stumbled across your channel as i am an avid reader! do you mind if i ask what lipstick you’re using?

[@MauveASMR]

I think this is Rhubarb from Bite Beauty

[@loveshot98]

@@MauveASMR thank you 🥰🥰

[@danieljeyaraj001]

Thank You Queen...🎉🎉🎉

[@unfairweather]

have you ever read anything by Mariana Enriquez? I’m reading “las cosas que perdimos en el fuego” (my first novel I’m reading in Spanish-I learned Spanish in my twenties like you!) and it’s so good, I would highly recommend if you haven’t read! As a non-native speaker who learned Spanish from a non-argentine I find the Argentine vernacular (colloquialisms?) to be super interesting also

[@MauveASMR]

I have! I really liked Las Cosas even though I read it in English. And yes, I bet the Argentine slang is super weird! For me it's all I know 😅 Where / how did you learn Spanish? Would love to hear more!

[@Laurita7]

TFS🤗📚💛your channel!

[@sunsetradioasmr7344]

No deckled edges for me, please and thank you 😂
