my summer reading list (& chatty book haul)

[@dakotawarren]

(again, I'm currently recording on my vintage-quality-esque Sony handycam because my Canon is unwell - bear with me, and consider the low quality a stylistic choice) (I love you)

[@user-ob7jn9zq5r]

I love you too have a nice day

[@AI-Hallucination]

You should get Mini dv came

[@reda8281]

Do you have a Letterboxd account

[@cnelson-uq1ud]

@@reda8281it’s Lady Dakota 😁

[@thestarrider]

"I'm a lover of old things...especially men!" You're preaching to the choir, Dakota

[@rurubelle2920]

Love how giddily happy you are in this video, lol. And yeah I get excited too when I find random pieces of paper stuck inside old books, or even just notes on the margin, gives me goosebumps thinking about the people who left them.

[@reda8281]

Does she have a Letterboxd account?

[@charliesutton6005]

The "especially men" had me laughing 😂

[@jungkooksboozybud]

As a microbiology student, I was deeply fascinated at the description of Lovebug. Heading off to add it to my TBR list for the month!

[@cherriqu3583]

love that dress on you! also, that moment at 16:58 where you read the word fearless and touch your fearless tattoo?? amazing.

[@iamrjdennis]

Happy to see you happy, Dakota! Also, the way the camera shook when all the books fell on the ground 😂

[@miamiller8781]

The description of love bug reminds me of gathering moss by Robin wall kimmerer. Gathering moss and braiding sweetgrass are beautiful

[@maddytonnis2351]

I'm reading Gathering Moss right now! My sister keeps teasing me for reading a book about moss, but its fantastic so far! Maybe I'll have to lend it to her next haha

[@sausana2501]

Girl you might be pertinacious but thats why we LOVE and follow you!! You’re unapologetically yourself and I’m all here for it!

[@white_edits9439]

The Godess of books has finnally posted I love your videos they inspire me to write pages on pages and read everyday !!!

[@mariaaaa1128]

She is so cute when she talks about books

[@AlexasCorner18]

Can you do a whole vlog, just about your fashion sense?!!!! 💗💞

[@raya838]

Jarvis Cocker is also from the band Pulp, his lyrics are phenomenal! He has a lyric book called 'Mother Brother Lover' which I highly recommend xxx

[@theodoesthings]

i absolutely adore the honey colour of your hair right now

[@letiziadinca4500]

This is the first time I watch a video of yours, but I just fell in love with your aesthetic. I’m a fan, I’m sold.

[@willowsbookapothecary5953]

I added several of these to my TBR! Lovebug intrigues me immensely.

[@filmsbyvictoria_]

I love your videos so much, you have inspired me on writing again and making my own channel to share my art. I haven't got the time to be part of the nowhere collective but I hope after the winter holidays (I'm from Argentina) I can do it. Beautiful videos, beautiful writing and human being. Wishing you the best

[@Pazoo_underscore]

im finally reading the girls by emma cline after keeping an eye out for years after your reccomendation and enjoying it so much. one of my favourites so far this year definitely! xx

[@ptolemaeaa]

ahhhh, i recently found your channel and have been really enjoying all of your content

[@w1tchb0n3_r10t]

RUNNING TO SHOW mY DEVOTION TO UR VIDEOS

[@shilahriddell813]

she is glowing!!

[@laindarko3591]

I'm also thinking of reading Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma this summer. Dederer did an event at the bookstore I worked at and I really enjoyed listening to her speak, if her book is as fascinating as she was in conversation, I think it's gonna be really good :)

[@backrooms_bandit7485]

Go down together is amazing!!! I read it years ago back when I was a freshman in high school:)

[@carlybrzostek6608]

You’re the cool elder sister that I never had! Always love your videos :’)

[@JemimaRose]

so excited for you to read Simple Passion.

[@annefloorlanting5147]

Ahh, enjoy Monsters by Claire Dederer. I read earlier this year and it is one of my favourite reads of 2024 till now. It also lead me to Art monsters by Lauren Elkin, which I bought a while ago, but haven't read yet. I am currently also in my non-fiction era. My read right now is Doppelganger by Naomi Klein, am working my way through that quite slowly, but would recommend.

[@Grandpasbookclub]

I can in fact confirm Dakota stood there for ten minutes deciding which book to get

[@phoebewhitaker4036]

Lovebug sounds incredible! I’m really into health and I am endlessly fascinated by the synergy of bacteria and human existence.

[@HelenaCure-ll7rj]

Great video! The Art Monsters book looks really interesting , hope you have a good summer

[@ltqteehee]

i got sooo excited pressing on this videooo. feels like a lil reward after running round all sweaty taking prom pics last night hehe

[@LeanneSylvest]

Animal by Lisa Taddeo...loved it

[@natasha-lyonne-enthusiast8098]

Recently read simple passion, and my lord is it passion. Passion to the point it’s scary. It dug itself into my bonesss !!! So excited for you to read :))

[@Lenalemonss]

I need to know where you dress (brands to search for on Vinted lol)

[@fionawilliams5477]

I have this ooolld ballet photography book/magazine thing and the photos in it are so peculiar, wish i could show you haha

[@maya2996]

omg Three Women is soooo good!!! Also watch the tv show after u read it!

[@cindyo6298]

Ooh, I also picked up Simple Passion. I actually was told it was very Lana Del Rey

[@zoobee]

fascinating subject for that book about artists and their moral failings and separating the art from the artist. I don't think there is a definitive answer, although I have thought about it alot, because some of my favourite writers have been quite immoral in some ways. I come down on the side of appreciating the good art and great art despite how their author may have been, or despite their views. but I think its worthwhile understanding the personality and failings of the artist too

[@laurenschenck5355]

Amazing summer book haul Dakota love it! 🩵🫶🏻🩵💕💓💜🌈

[@dreamblud]

One video of yours and I stop identifying with boredom for a solid week for some reason

[@fatimasalimian268]

God has posted

[@mvhLinda]

Have you read Theology of the Body?

[@AI-Hallucination]

A woman who reads Hank. ❤ I read Alexander dugin a far right Russian philosopher I don't agree with him but I need to understand him

[@nirvana_lilith]

11:19 literally made the same face lmao

[@joejs7659]

Bukowski is a great poet, and what makes it so is his sensitivity, his hard striding attempts to hide it from his core audience was always futile and any reader who can read between the lines catches on quickly, this is one flower-soft being, Love is a dog from hell shines strongly.

[@fionawilliams5477]

Our lord hath arrived

[@jaysemitchells497]

0.53 so scary!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Love and appreciate your work so and you are so amazing gifted and unbelievable amazing person women author and inspiring 💜💛💖🩵

[@Caralluin]

I thought you lived in the Southern Hemisphere. Is it not winter there?

[@lucifertenou5532]

omg you have a english accent now

[@wmegfsiry]

it seems my current cycle of rotting ends today (you are my perception of time Lady Dakota)

[@ocdtdc]

Appreciate the nuanced take on Bukowski. One of my favorite writers but not a guy I would like in real life

[@gisellelacerda6419]

❤❤❤

[@bzztthundaa]

❤️

[@Anna-ft2mi]

It’s actually pronounced “Mar-lay-nuh” not Marlene with a hard e

[@oscar-wi3tj]

You have a fearless chest

[@darrensurff8554]

Your addiction could be cured by meditating on the truth that everyone included you are just characters in story's, that you write with focus on things ,law of attraction gives you what you write ,ie think focus feel about, so get of your arse and write a fkg great life for yourselves, the clock is ticking 😊😊😊😊
