I don't know why these older videos pop up in my feed, but I'm here for it. I'll watch them again and again!!!

I was extremely depressed and feeling low and lonely, but after watching your video...my mood brightened up. Your jovial vibe is infectious. Thank you. 💖

[@livslibrary]

THE DIVINERS. Omg my favorite. 😍 Definitely recommend the audio but you’re going to LOVE IT.

[@DarlingDesi]

I’ve heard others say good things about the audio too! I will definitely be listening to it 🙈 And I’m waiting for October 🙌🏻

[@jessica-bookslit4953]

Yes! The audio is sooo good!

This is the first video of yours that I’ve ever seen and I’m obsessed with your personality 🙈🍂✨ so adorable!

A random question, what is your fav/ memorable fall story Hope you guys are doing well , have a great day 😁😁

[@KrystleVisions]

Dracul was my favorite book of the year in 2019! Hope you enjoy!

[@clustertoo]

I’ve watched so many of your videos this fall and I love them all! Wonderful and wholesome.

[@Puty0urlipstick0n]

I cannot wait for your fall videos this year omg

[@jessica-bookslit4953]

Ps. Your going to love Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie! It’s such a great/fun mystery. I have a vintage version from the early 60s with orange sprayed edges.

I LOVE the Sherlock Holmes stories, so I hope you'll love them too! I also cannot wait to read Northanger Abbey with the book club!

[@DarlingDesi]

I am so hyped for Sherlock Holmes! I’ve loved every movie and tv show about Sherlock so I can’t wait to dive in to the source material! ☺️

[@heathersapp9532]

I love your book recommendations! Especially how you read for the season/holiday. Loving this!!!❤️

[@DarlingDesi]

I’m definitely a seasonal reader! 🙈 To me, it makes it more fun! So thank you ☺️🙏🏻 So happy you enjoyed the video!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Yes, you need to read Sherlock! Honestly, I love the short stories more than the longer ones so I vote for you to read The Adventures of Sherlock over The Hound of Baskervilles.

[@wintergeister]

I'm so happy I discovered your channel! really love your style and thanks to you I now have a lot more books to read this autumn :)

[@secondhandpickn]

New here but definitely vibing with you! Your taste in books are impeccable. Will be adding some of these to my TBR list. Thanks!

[@DarlingDesi]

Thank you so much! And hi! ☺️ Thanks so much for watching 💛 hope you have an amazing reading season! ☺️

[@user-kr1fg4ll2d]

Longbourn is really clever, a great book it almost makes you forget all about pride and prejudice because you’re so involved with the servant characters. I’m reading Frankenstein and The Woman in White for the first time in October 😀

[@juliababyjenjenny8485]

The Diviners is absolutely an amazing read. Its actually really scary! The characters and setting are awesome too. I recently started reading Sherlock Holmes, and I adore them!! He was ahead of his time for sure.

[@EllaKowalski9]

I just started "The Silent Companions" and OH MY GOSH IT'S CREEEPYYYY, but I'm really loving it! Can't wait for your wrap up on it!

[@TheLassinLinen]

You are the happiest wee thing in the world and I am always so joyful after watching your videos (not to mention, completely broke) 😜 I was also wondering if you could do a tutorial on some the hairstyles you do (esp. The one in the video where you rank every Jane Austen book because it's amazing and I would love to try!)?

[@DarlingDesi]

Omg thank you 🥺 This is the sweetest comment ever 🧡 I was definitely thinking about doing a “autumn hairstyles” type video. However, the hair style from that video is so complicated and I just followed a KZbin video 😂 I’ll go try to find the link for it!

[@DarlingDesi]

Here is the link to the tutorial for the hairstyle I wore in the Jane Austen video! ☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3-kqJqsZZ6Wqrs

[@TheLassinLinen]

Omg thank you!! That is so sweet of you!!

[@PrincessLessons]

Loved this cozy fall video! Wuthering Heights is SO GOOD. I read it when I was 15-ish and, even though Jane Austen is my favorite classic author, Wuthering Heights is the book that hooked me on classics! I’m reading The Woman in White for Victober and super excited about it, too! I think it’s technically the first “sensation novel.” Apparently it was published first as a serialized story, so everyone was talking about it/eager for the next installment in the same way modern people get excited about TV shows and try to figure out the next plot twist.

[@bethanpalmer3295]

If you've never read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier I think you'd love it.

[@mandyd2h530]

Love this video! Autumn is here and I am THRIVING! I have a pretty stellar October TBR set up: Rebecca, Practical Magic, Dracula, And Then There Were None, an Edgar Allan Poe graphic novel story collection. 🙌🏻

[@DarlingDesi]

An IMMACULATE tbr 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@varshinisekar4398]

Your videos give me cosy fall vibes

[@DarlingDesi]

Then my goal is achieved 😌🍂

[@xinmyownworldx9823]

love this!! Could you also do book recs based on Gilmore Girls? not books mentioned in the show, more like books that capture that similar cozy fall feeling the show has x

[@aisling8308]

The Idiot by Elif Batuman definitely gave me Gilmore Girls vibes, it's about an 18 year old Harvard linguistics student and it's set in the mid-90s 🍁 The plot isn't that exciting, but the vibes and dry humor and bookish references are all there. There's also an email element to the book which is cool if you like You've Got Mail.

I just added so much to my list! And I got Pumpkinheads through my library as I watched this, no wait list! I'm reading Death Below Stairs by Jennifer Ashley at the moment, and listening to Dracula, and am planning to read Frankenstein (or rather listen to it!), The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller, The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware, The Winter People by Jennifer MacMahon, The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson, Wilder Girls by Rory Power, and some John Wyndham if I have time!

[@karinabarbee8049]

I just picked up Magic Lessons for free today at my library. They were giving away arcs of different books. I've always enjoyed the Practical Magic movie so I figured why not? on the prequel.

Ahh I just read Wuthering Heights for the first time and my first Agatha Christie. I read And Then There Were None. I really want to read Frankenstein soon because I have a hold out at the library for The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. I also want to read City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde this fall too 😍 So many stories so little time 😂

[@rennyontherox]

Oh! And I’m wrapping up The City Bakers Guide to Country Living right now based on your recommendation! Super cute!

This is fab and just the deep dive of Autumnal reading I need to get me through the hells of summer! Thank you! So many books added to my list!

[@TheEvangejack]

I was so intrigued by the description of The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place and looked it up only to realise it’s set right near me! Even more excited to read it now! So many amazing recommendations! Thank you so much! My autumn list has been wonderfully refreshed and I’m so excited 🖤

[@FaeryLaume]

I love how many books you recommend/show that I've never even heard of before! Lots of titles added to my TBR list! Thank you! And if you liked Dracula, I really enjoyed Dracula in Love by Karen Essex. It's the story written from Mina's perspective.

[@faustianacademia]

Gothic books are LIFE! 🖤

[@belovedbenton]

These videos are aesthetically pleasing

[@sarahc4004]

A lovely list! I too love Frankenstein, and like to refer to the monster as Adam, since he was "meant to be thy Adam." Works out nicely, yes?

[@olgakari660]

Just finished Scandalous Sisterhood, such a lovely book!!! ❤😂I need it to be series 😅❤

[@vincestaude0812]

I could imagine that you'd like Anne Perry mysteries, too, as they play in victorian London. Yet, they are crime mysteries and not spooky with ghosts. - I loved reading Wuthering Heights, I could hardly place it somewhere, I took it everywhere with me to read, even when I had to wait in a queue at the cash desk in shops. - I like reading "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau in Autumn. Probably because forrest and Autumn just go together for me.

[@laineyrae8981]

I really enjoy the fact that you share middle school reads. I recently read Small Spaces by Katherine Arden who wrote the Bear and the Nightingale. It's spooky and involves a local ghost story and an army of scarecrows that moves once the sun goes down. It's great.

[@Amanda-dn4ld]

I ADORE Laura Purcell! Silent Companions is my fave of hers

[@mishelly]

Just bought Dracul today!!! Omg so many great pics!! I love how you add background about the books like Dracul, I was thrown a minute when I saw the author. And Northanger Abby...

[@SanaSana_626]

Longbourn has been on my TBR for years! 🙈 gathering dust on my shelf. You’ve inspired me to pick it up :)

[@Tinahgirl83]

Prickwillow Place was fun! I would be excited if she wrote another one. The interactions between the girls is lots of fun. It’s what I would call older middle grade. Maybe for 10 and up. Sherlock Holmes is excellent! The Hound of the Baskervilles is my favorite of the novels, but I love the others and the short story collections are perfection. Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite books ever. It’s not a romance, though, in the sense of modern romance novels. And you can’t go wrong with Agatha Christie. I just reread Halloween Party (for the fiftieth time😂)recently! The Woman in White is the best of the gothic novels, and has what is probably my favorite villain ever. I’d call it a suspense thriller. I’ve read all of the Lady Hardcastle series and I REALLY enjoy them. I highly recommend them on audio; the narrator is excellent.

[@crafty_history]

I love Wilkie Collins! The Women in White is fantastic! I also recommend Turn of the Screw, Northanger Abbey, The Monk and The Wyvern Mystery!

[@teanlit2949]

Your vest is perfect!

[@lesleysenkow7932]

love how cozy all of your videos feel!

[@luppflavia2795]

Hey. I read your book recommendation from a previous KZbin video. Pumpkin Heads-suuuch a cute cozy graphic novel. Enjoyed it!!! For a warm fall afternoon recommend: "the cozy cottage cafe- Autumn edition"- simple, kind of predictable but cute story. This book series caught my attention: " A witch P.I mystery" by Adele Abbott Hope we all have a great Autumn 😚😚😘!

[@DarlingDesi]

Omg thank you so much for the recommendation! Looking it up on Goodreads and Amazon right now ☺️ And yay! That makes me so happy! Pumpkin Heads is so good ☺️ So happy you liked it!

[@celineneumann5865]

The Silent Companions is on the top of my tbr pile for october as well! I'm so looking forward to it. Currently half-way into Wakenhyrst and I struggle getting into it, it's revolving around themes of religion, superstition and sin much more than I thought. Curious to see how it turns out.

[@victoriabyers5161]

I loved the woman in white! I love gothic novels ❤️

[@shanhenderson7566]

I'm currently reading 4 different books, Little Women, Blessed:Academy of the Seraph, Pride and Prejudice, and Snow and Wynter: A Cold Love Affair.

[@AnnaShikari]

i'm also hoping to read wakenhyrst asap! have it out from the library and i can't wait to start it. i love your videos and your books recs are always amazing, thankyou so much 🥺🖤

[@spinstercatlady]

I'm obsessed with historical fiction set in the Regency and Victorian eras, as well as the gothic genre so I've read quite a few of these! The Silent Companions is excellent and I also loved The Poison Thread/The Corset and Bone China/House of Whispers by Purcell. Monster, She Wrote I read last October and it's great, plus I discovered some new authors and books from it. Wakenhyrst wasn't my favorite gothic, but it is quite good and definitely kept me turning the pages. Longborne I loved and highly recommend 👌

[@laurendavis6008]

I LOVE the Woman in White!!!

[@DarlingDesi]

YAY!!! I am so excited 🙈

[@NerdSquish]

That copy of Frankenstein is super pretty!! I have so many copies of that book because it’s my favorite BUT I need that one too lol

[@naomizee9229]

The woman in white is one of my all time favourites! It’s so good.

[@martinamendezfernandez]

I enjoyed Dracul very much :D But I should say that I haven't read Dracula yet (it's in my tbr for this victober), so I can't compare. But I liked the atmosphere and the story. Hope you like it!

[@gaelliott61]

A trippy mystery you may like is: The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (time of year may not be fall). I love the book Frankenstein-we had to analyze it in college-“man playing God.” Love Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’ Poirot series (the PBS version I believe with David Suchet). Also Harry Truman’s daughter, Margaret Truman wrote a really good series called “Murder at...(fill in the blank/Washington, DC location). Also Rebecca is coming out on film again-read up-may not necessarily be a fall atmosphere read.

[@carobeci]

Autumn is my favorite season, but it usually passes me by amidst the back-to-school craziness of a teacher's life. I'm determined that this time I will enjoy it. I've already taken to Scribd to find some of these titles. Thanks!

New subscriber here. I'm loving all your autumn videos! There are so few booktubers that can make me add so many books to my TBR! I love Sherlock and recommend reading a couple of short stories first. I also love Northanger Abbey, but I had to read a few gothic books first so I could catch all the funny references. And The Diviners made me pick up more historical (mystery) books. Will you make a few cozy reading vlogs too? Happy Autumn Reading!🍁

[@adrikamondal5186]

Hello!!! Your videos are the best...I truly recieve that Autumn vibes through your brilliant video skills. I will definitely read few YA middle grades from your recommendations, I'm planning to pick The Midnight Hours as I love Victorian atmosphere. I've already read Halloween Party by Agatha Christie in 2019, tbh I didn't enjoyed it a lot. I am exceedingly excited for reading Northanger Abbey this year. Are you participating in Victober? Love you a lot😘

[@DarlingDesi]

Hello! Thank you so much for such a nice and thoughtful comment. You’re so sweet! And yes I’ll definitely be participating in Victober! I’m so excited ☺️ Yeah, Halloween Party definitely isn’t ranked amongst her best novels. But I’ve enjoyed every Agatha Christie novel I’ve ever read, so hopefully I can still enjoy it a bit 🙈

[@lillouve2992]

Wow are you really going to read all these books in only 3 months ? Impressive ! I read the woman in white last year because of it being the first mystery book ever but was a bit disappointed. I liked the atmosphere but found it a bit boring to be frank. I had planned to read Frankenstein this autumn but there are so many other attractive novels It’s hard to choose which one to read first !

[@DarlingDesi]

Haha well these are the books I WANT to read this fall, but I might not get to all of them 🙈 I do read pretty quickly, I usually read around 7-10 books per months. So I probably won’t get to all of them ☹️ There’s so little time and so many good books I want to read.
