ASMR | Reading My SUBSCRIBERS' Favorite Books! 📚 (whispers, tapping, page turning, tracing)

[@ilyqd]

I hope you make this a series or just make more book videos in general. Books + asmr just go so well together and the side to side whispering was sooo tingly!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you Sabrina! 🥰

[@lorenalopez9293]

Yes please, more book reviews in asmr!!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Hi guys! The premise of this video was asking YOU guys what your favorite books were - so I took the top 5 most liked books, read them, and now I'll talk about them! 📚 I had a ton of fun with this and thank you to everyone who suggested their favorite book. Also, you can go to Audible.com/lavender or text 'lavender' to 500 500 to get your free 30 day trial!

33:39 The Giver is actually the first part of a four-part series by Lois Lowry. Highly recommend reading the other three books: Gathering Blue, The Messenger, Son

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

I ended up reading a bit about those books in the Wiki - the fact the characters appear in later books makes the abrupt ending make a little more sense! 😁

[@FairFeline]

Gathering Blue is still one of my favorite books.

[@mugu3678]

Just wanna say as somebody that doesn't get tingles I appreciate all your whispered videos, they are the best for sleep. It'd be awesome if you did a couple regular whispered book reads

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Yay thank you! I have a few of those on my Patreon but I will have to do one on my main channel someday :)

[@dnceinthedark]

i would love more videos like this!! where you talk about / review books you’ve read that month or just talk about some of your favorite books

[@df9708]

I am an auditor in Malaysia , only sleep 4 hours per day recently due to closing but I always have a deep sleep after watching your ASMR video. Just want to say thank you for keep making these videos, there are essential.💛

[@dena92]

Love your little criticism. It shows that you're a very intelligent woman and an experienced reader ❤ would love to see more book content!

[@literaturewhispersasmr9511]

Omg I've been meaning to read Flowers for Algernon for years, love the video idea! Booktube asmr is my absolute fave

[@hope4565]

I nearly leaped out of my bed from pure happiness when I saw you had uploaded this video!!! Your ASMR book videos are my absolute favorite!!! Your timing could not have been more spot on either, because I really need something positive tonight!!! THANK YOU!!! I can’t wait to watch this now 😁😁😁

[@BardTopher]

Booktube and ASMR: the perfect crossover of the only videos I watch anymore 😅

[@qualitativeasmr]

chriss🤍🤍

[@JZgrace]

I just want to thank you. Your videos have helped me fall asleep and find moments of peace as I navigate the grief of loss. Your asmr is a gift 🙏

[@Zalami84]

Please never stop making book related videos, they are my favourite and how I found your channel.

[@talkingtottenham3198]

Oh my god, how did I miss this vid post about saying what our favourite book is, I love your book related videos, I would of loved to of had my say and see if it would of made your video about them :( Maybe you could make this a series ( couple of times a year ) Anyway I loved this video and the content you share overall but these book related ones top the list for me. Keep up the great content Sarah 😁🌹

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you! I’ll definitely be making a part two cause this was fun! Keep an eye out, maybe click the bell for channel notifications 😁💕 though I’m not sure if it notifies people for community posts haha

[@talkingtottenham3198]

@@SarahLavenderASMR I’ll press the bell and I’ll be looking out for part two 😁

[@dar3devils]

i’m so happy you mentioned the always sunny episode because that’s all i could think about when you were talking about flowers for algernon!! i’ve never read the book but i’m a huge sunny fan

[@ChrysalisInvictus]

I was just trying to find a book video to watch when this popped up! You saved me from the abyss of endless scrolling!!!

[@anne-sophie9545]

Your "book club" videos are my favourite, always so excited to click when you post one Thank you for this great content and your enlightening opinions!

[@meghanbosch8422]

All your reviews are so thought provoking and fun to listen to!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you Meghan! Another book review should be coming soon!!

[@shaunakeats]

I love this ! Imagine a video where your reading a book,tapping ,and theirs a crackle candle lit🤩🤩that would be unreallllll! Your videos are always so relaxing . I work night shifts and struggle falling asleep ,some nights I only get 3 hours sleep . Your videos always relax and reassure me that that’s okay. 💕

[@NewJerseyNets11]

Nothing beats the mixture of ASMR whispering with books! Muchas gracias Sarah 😊

[@katesteranne]

So The Giver is actually part of a 4-book series! The first three don't seem all that connected to each other, but the fourth really ties it all together

[@alana6784]

can't believe you recorded this video this early and still came with this makeup slay. im in love with the asmr aspect of your book reviews. thank you thank you!!!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Omg haha 🙈💖 thank you!!

[@carys7417]

Oh my gosh I have been waiting for this video!! Love it! (And I still cannot recommend Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb enough! And all her subsequent books in that world. Top tier fantasy)

[@TheHughgee]

Robin Hobb is an excellent fiction writer.

[@indigowhisper]

Yesss, I just read the liveship traders and loved it. Planning to hopefully re-read Assassin's Apprentice trilogy after 20 years (welp!) And continue on with Fitz and the Fool

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

I honestly can’t believe I haven’t read any of Hobb yet! Assassins Apprentice always makes the top of the list for best fantasy books!

[@carys7417]

@@SarahLavenderASMR I only started reading her books last year myself so I am there with you aha! Her writing just gets better and better.

[@pixieposer7246]

These book related videos are my FAV, please do more!

[@paulcarr5918]

Yay more book time!! Not all of those are my cup of tea but it was a nice, varied selection. And as long as we got a book video out of it, I'm happy 😃

[@paulskelley9623]

very relaxing! I love how calming your vids are

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you Paul ☺️

[@qualitativeasmr]

paul🤍🤍

[@angelacanedit]

I hope you do a second part 😍

[@tomk951]

Wow! What a great video. Those are all my favorite books also! It’s been a while since I read East of Eden, and I’ve only read 1 of the Kingsolver books, but I can’t tell you how much I loved this video. More, please! I’ve never had a talk with anyone who has such similar tastes in reading. Thank you so much. Best ASMR ever, imo!

[@MonicaEvans1]

I love to see another book video bc I believe this is how I found your channel a while back: from searching favorite books ASMR. 📚😴

[@thetoysofchildhood]

The side-to-side whispers during the Audible portion at the beginning were amazing! Those mics are awesome.🎙️🎙️

[@eliseperryasmr]

I knew Flowers for Algernon was sad, because, you’re right, that’s what everyone says about it. But I had no idea is was sort of sci-fi because I never think of sci-fi as being so sad.

[@britneypadilla]

23:30 ooh if you liked Circe - I think you’ll enjoy The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec 📚💜🤓 its a story about Loki’s wife

[@SK-kn7mr]

yes loved that one!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Ooooo thank you for the rec! That sounds amazing!

[@lyndz911]

Omg I've had Circe in my TBR for a while...I love the way the UK edition looks so I'm gonna end up ordering it 🥰

[@adargopatil]

I don't know if any of your past videos you've mentioned about the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. so if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend it as it's one of my. top 10 I would say.

[@lisahudec5883]

Your background!! Oh my goodness, so pretty and calming! 🙂 Thank you for another 🧘‍♂️ video 💜

[@molsc82]

I love this idea! So original & such a cool way to connect with your subscribers 💕

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you so much Mollie! 💕

[@Jellyfishcollector]

The Book Thief is my favorite book! :D

[@hope4565]

I’m back now that I have watched the video. Loved it by the way! Thank you so much for putting in all of the effort to make it! I somehow missed the poll where I could tell you what my favorite books are three months ago, so I’m going to go ahead and drop my five favorite books right here. 1. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins 2. Jane Eyre by Charolette Bronte (sorry I don’t have the proper accent above the e in Bronte, I can’t find it in my phone keyboard) 3. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen 4. The Tennant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte (sorry again about not having the proper accent, I mean no disrespect to the Bronte family) 5. Frankenstein by Mary Shelly I rate all five of these books as being five out of five stars. I would love to hear if anyone else has also read these books, and if so how many stars you would give them.

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you Hope! Those are great recs. Frankenstein is an amazing book but I haven’t read the others! I will have to check them out 😁💕

[@SimplySophieLou]

I loooved this so much, its so rare to find ASMR that I really want to stay awake for because the content is so good but you definitely check that box 😍 my favourite book recently has been the midnight library by Matt Haig, it made me cry quite a lot and I read it so fast

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Oooo I’ve heard great things about the Midnight Library! 😁 and thank you Sophie!

[@Nick-ld8lk]

An incredibly relaxing Video, with your calming soft whispers, and a cozy setting! Sarah you are wonderful!❤️😘🥰😴💤

[@ASMRWithClarisse]

What a brilliant video idea! Couldn’t have come at a better time 🥰

[@rebeccawright2987]

I think I like these so much because it reminds me of when my parents would read books to me as a kid to help me fall asleep at night ❤️

[@matthewfera2954]

There is a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that has some bits about Flowers for Algernon in it- one of my favorite episodes, always cracks me up.

[@ronja5315]

Just ordered Flowers for Algernon, havent read a book in years, but been wanting to, just havent found any books to read. Excited to start reading again.

[@dmh2633]

Your book content is my absolute favorite!!!

[@sailyx3jupy]

This was the most relaxing video. I fell asleep before halfway through 😴 came back to learn about the rest of the books 📚

[@ericam9114]

I have a disability and to answer your question about the correct terminology to use for Charlie in flowers for algernon… most would just say disabled. Handicapped is an old term and some can even find it a bit offensive now. This was a great video! I love the book related ones.

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you for sharing Erica! I will be using that terminology from now on 💕

[@TheOnlyLila]

Really enjoyed the relaxing video and the bonus of the book summaries for possible future reads. That was fun in a very relaxing manner.

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you Lila! 💕

I just found your account and I’m OBSESSED!! I would love to see a book tapping and sticky tapping video. You did it a little bit on this video and it was so tingly 🥺🤤🤤

[@quietcomfortasmr]

I am SO excited for this!! I remember when you shared this idea and the poll, I thought oh my goodness, that is so much work for Sarah! An incredibly cool idea and a very generous way to connect with your community. I'm going to make a hot chocolate and cozy up with this one.🥰I loved The Giver when I was a kid, haven't read it as an adult, so I'm especially interested in your take on that one. Always love your book-related content! 💙

Thank you so much as always! 🥺💕

I love the books series + asmr in your chanel! :)

omg i have the collection of jane austen novelssss it’s the prettiest book i own and sense and sensibility is one of my favorites

FLOWERS FOR CHARLIE 😂😂😂 this is why you’re the best, Sarah.

[@matilde8572]

I love this type of video. I’m reading Circe and I love it more and more. You’re fantastic Sarah!🤍 Bye from Italy🇮🇹

[@catarinascarpetti4158]

what about a bookstore role play where someone is looking for a gift for someone and you can go through finding out what they might like, recommendations, etc. would make it easy to add in soft spoken/whispers, personal attention and book sound triggers?? 🥰

[@gwest8127]

I would love to see a book ASMR on your favorites in the YA genre. While I'm not in the targeted age range anymore, I still adore my old favorites in YA and think they can still bring joy to any age. :)

[@mm34815]

As a bookworm I love this video! I highly recommend reading the book Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. If you like historical fiction or historical drama, this one is definitely for you!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Thank you! ☺️ I checked out the synopsis and wow, it sounds super sad and super interesting. I’ll have to check it out!

[@ievaand1661]

Oh it is su h a beautiful book about my home country!

[@BrickManiac]

Please do this again. I suggest reading Normal People by Sally Rooney. It is a great romance book, I actually just finished it. Themes of miscommunication, class, and young love. It left me with a feeling of sadness after I read it because people can really change you for the better. (The show adaptation is really great btw...I suggest giving it a watch)

[@veronicaivanova]

Funny, I recently bought this book and it's on my TBR list. I think Sarah already mentioned it in one of her book videos.

[@benjaminlocke214]

Yes, more book content! 😃😃

[@townesmusic3771]

I love that you mentioned that episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 😂 that’s one of my favorite episodes

[@modeSeven]

The Pride and Prejudice 2016 film is the finest presentation of the tale in my opinion. Thanks for the great video!

[@Txjen2024]

I loved this! Please do a part II. I didn’t get to participate in the first one but would love to in the future. 😊

[@claireshipp8458]

I love your book reviews Sarah! I'm going to re read Pride and Prejudice now for sure and check out Cerci too ☺️❤️

books and asmr go soooo well together. would love to see more of these! possibly with the addition of oscar wilde 👀

Thank you Sarah. Of the books I read recently, Master of Poisons by Andrea Hairston is my favorite. ✌️

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

I’ll have to add that to my list! Thank you Sean! 😁

[@dawn428]

Hey Sarah I love love love to read. The 1940 black & white version of Pride & Prejudice is on tv today so I may watch it again 🙂

[@blackcatbooks64]

It's difficult for me to read Flowers for Algernon... it reminds me a lot of how much I struggled being autistic growing up. It hits way too close to home. Wonderful book though.

[@veronicaivanova]

I love your book videos! 📖 😊 Sadly, I am one of these people who aren't fans of Pride and Prejudice. When you said you understood why some people find it boring, I felt relieved it's not only me 🤭 I find that I don't love many classic novels. However, one of my favourite books is Gone with the wind ❤

[@damndorothea]

you should read the grishaverse books!

[@SarahLavenderASMR]

Oooo those have been on my list for a while now! I need to!

[@matthewmerendo9260]

If you like the idea of Death personified, with emotions and reactions and whatnot, read José Saramago's DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS. It's got a very unique style, and you have to stick with it, because the first half is a bit slow -- but once you get into the second half, Death is the best thing ever.

Loved the video! For the Flowers for Algernon book, the right terminology today is intellectual disability. Using person-first language you would say, "Charlie has an intellectual disability" instead of "Charlie is intellectually disabled". The disability does not define who the person is!! The more you know :) thanks for asking!! (This is coming from a future special education educator)

I am disabled and I literally don’t care how it is phrased.

[@sicktrick4173]

Dude chill out its a book

[@carys7417]

@@Coco-jg4xm good for you, but many do care, and using identity based language is thus better. Same as saying ‘they were enslaved’ rather than ‘they were a slave’.
