Lots of interesting picks! I love fantasy. I had heard that Howl's Moving Castle was originally an English novel, but had forgotten about looking into it more. Thanks for putting it back on my radar! Also, if you get around to reading The Devil And The Dark Water, I would love to hear what you think about it. (I found a Japanese translation. But, it's a bit expensive, making me a bit cautious to dive in. I am tottering clumsily up and down on a wobbling diving board.) I'm fairly new to booktube, so I've only recently heard of seasonal reading. I live in Missouri, so the seasons are very pronounced, almost ideally so, I would go as far to say. While I haven't decided want to read according the seasons, they do affect my reading experience. In spring and autumn I can read on the porch, thus being surrounded by a cool breezes, birdsong and various little critters. And there are plenty of rainy days. While in summer and winter, I am indoors, in silence, in a space designed to avoid distractions. So, it's interesting to think about. I looked at my bookshelves but was hard-pressed to find a book/series that really felt connected to a season to me personally. I have a book of manga shorts that all take place in ancient Egypt. So, maybe the hot desert is summer-like... I have a manga series that takes place in Iceland, with a detective who can talk to cars. I thought for sure it would have some nice wintery vibes, but as I flipped through the first volume, the main character was driving in his jeep with the windows down and sunglasses on. Then he went swimming in the sea. I feel betrayed. 🤣 Anyhow, thanks for the fun video! 🐳

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! 😊 I have lots of books that don't fit a specific season for me and that I'd want to read at any time, but some just really remind me of a certain season. It may be that they take place during that season or that the setting/weather fits, or it may be that the overall premise/vibe just embodies that season for me personally. Sometimes, I just like to read certain types of books during certain seasons; for example, I love reading epic fantasy in either the winter or the summer. I think it's all about just reading what makes you happy/what you want when it makes you happy/when you want! (Also, I'm sorry about the betrayal, haha! I have had similar experiences.)
