[@maija9820]

Call me by your name and Find me by André Aciman are both some of the dreamiest summerbooks I've ever read. Northern Italy in the 80's, say no more, I am sold. I was super happy you recommended The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. I read it every summer. Thank you Jenny for such different book recommendations! Have a lovely summer 💌

[@JennyMustard]

oooo i haven't read anything by andre aciman yet !! will put it on my to read list

[@emmamoon7756]

Yep!! Aciman is just the master of summer romance, desire and longing ✨

[@hannarul1515]

«The magus» and «Bonjour tristess» are my favourites for summer too 🧡

[@rissamonreal1664]

Water for Chocolate definitely has a warm, magical, and summery feel.

[@elena0351]

"Call me by your name" is in my opinion the perfect summer read. It just really makes you feel the warm, chill, romantic atmospher of a vcation in italy. It's beautifull, it's a little bit sad but nostalgic and wow I'm gonna reread it this summer just for the vibes

[@christinalennartz1008]

Also, why don’t you start a book club? That would be so much fun 😍

[@Lia-ll3ou]

Ahh I love the book content 😍

[@JennyMustard]

yay so happy to hear it !!

[@camilanavarro896]

I just read The Summer When My Mother's Eyes Were Green by Tatiana Tibuleac and it is BEAUTIFUL. Set in Northern France, it really takes the "one life-changing summer" trope to a whole other level.

[@brvndxxxn]

My summer reads are Go Ask Alice, We Have Always Lived In The Castle, The Amityville Horror, A Skeleton In The Family, & The Hellbound Heart.

[@shivanigauniyal]

The setting for "The Summer Book" reminded me of one of my favorite summer reads- Fire on the Mountain by Anita Desai. It takes me back to my summers in India, where we'd spend weeks living in one of the mountain towns to escape the heat in the city. The book is set in one of such towns. An old lady who has distanced herself from her family, finds herself spending the summer with her great-grand daughter. The book starts with the harvesting of apricots which are inherent reminders of mountain summers to me, ends up with the dry summer forest being set on fire, while old family drama unfolds in between. I loved it!

[@brilbeer74]

A nice easy read is: 'Midnight at the blackbird café'. A great summer read is 'Beautiful Ruins' written by Jess Walter. And an oldy: 'White Oleander' written by Janet Fitch. And are you visiting the West Coast of France? Read: 'All the light we cannot see' and go and visit Saint Malo. Or read 'The Paris Wife'.

[@Ola-gl5gk]

I'm currently reading Tender is the night by F. Scott Fitzgerald and it encapsulates European summer vibe perfectly 💛

[@kylefarrell8166]

I just got ALL of these from the library! Can't wait to read them, thanks Jenny :)

[@ldeethkelt]

I have almost finished my current book (The Secret History....it's really good btw) so your timing is perfect!

[@luisa146]

I loved the Secret History so much I'm sure I'll be reading it over and over again! Now I just started the Goldfinch. Donna Tartt really is a great writer!

[@miristtotallw]

The book that made the dark academia community big! I wasn't sure about it in the beginning since I saw why there's lots of criticism about the community/their values which you can find in the book as well. But after finishing it: IT IS FRICKING AMAZING. Plan to read it again too! :)

[@awarenessvillage]

That an amazing book, as is The Goldfinch!

[@architectureandfilmblog1727]

Speaking of seasonal, The Secret History is a great one for late autumn/winter :-)

[@brilbeer74]

Loved, loved, loved that one. But I really disliked 'The little friend'. 'The goldfinch' however was a good read again.

[@mieliboo1]

Summer in Scotland for me is soggy rainy days and lovely bright sky days. Making the most of the sunshine and having deep fried langoustine and chips from my favourite takeaway in a cardboard box. Sitting and eating at the beach watching the ferries to the islands come too and fro. When it rains, and the plants look greener, and you stay inside and drink tea is also beautiful.

[@saskia....]

I love ‚The Magus’! One of my favorite book ever! I read it years and years ago, just once. I’ll put it on my list to reread. This is actually the first time I see anyone recommending this book. Thanks, Jenny!

[@aagnieszkaab296]

You want summer, good plot and mystery? I recommend "The dry" by Jane Harper. Set in an Australian outback, scorching hot summer, murder (or is it?) mystery, at the end you get an enlightenment and everything comes together. I love it, because you finish the book, but walk away re living it for a little longer 📚 ☺️

[@ldeethkelt]

Also great summer reads Gerald Durrel "My family and other animals" - 1930s Corfu? Say no more. Evelyn Waugh "Brideshead Revisited" ultimate summer nostalgia and there are several good adaptations. Tana French "The Woods" - another great Irish mystery series, this book constantly flashes back to one siginifcant summer plus the language is beautiful.

[@awarenessvillage]

The Woods is a great one!

[@ilonna9623]

I become very nostalgic in Winter, realy miss my home country in those cosy months. What a great list Jenny, Bonjour Tristesse is waiting for me😍, I need to finish 1000 page monster first. Enjoy your time off and "lovely" british summer. I hope weather will be kind to us.🌞🌝☀️

[@scaredycrow7423]

Jenny, I love your videos on books and this video gave me such a warm, summer feel. If you are looking for other summer reads I have to recommend Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. Perfect mix of Americana and nostalgia.

[@beccabtwo]

Jenny, I’d recommend ‘Rebecca’ by Daphne du Maurier, ‘My Brilliant Friend’ by Elena Ferrante, ‘This Side of Paradise’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald, ‘In Cold Blood’ by Truman Capote! If you haven’t already read these, I think you would enjoy! You mentioned a few of my favorites in this video (Bonjour Tristesse, A Moveable Feast, also love Edith Wharton!) so I think we have similar taste xx

[@anniesmith780]

So many great books to read! Thank you! I used to spend my summer holidays far away from Latvia at my grandparents' house in a Ukrainian village and read a lot of detective stories during rainy days. Agatha Christie was and still is one of my favourites. I also read The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov several times during the holidays. It brings back so many memories❤

[@plantifulalexandra]

In Australia I get nostalgic in summer... but for German autumn and winter! Can't wait for the cozy season this year after over 2 years of no cold season.

[@jesspurr]

I just finished one of my summer books and now I’m moving onto The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 😬 I’m not a huge fan of crime fiction but I figured I’d give it a shot. Some of the ones on your list sound so interesting! And YES! Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman is the perfect hot and sweaty summer book and the film is lovely. I know everyone talks about it but the hype over the book and film are well-deserved.

[@katerinakokki2013]

I really love your book related videos! My favourite summer reads: Call me by your name (this book screams summer!), The Great Gatsby, To kill a mockingbird, Mrs Dalloway...A moveable feast is a great short book, also Bonjour Tristesse sounds very interesting, I’m going to buy it!

[@eskape2244]

I like to read my favorite Wallander crime (by Henning Mankell) "Midsummer murder" in the summer. It's so cozy and haunting at the same time...

[@annaapax80]

I absolutely love your book videos! One of my all time summer love books is Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe, it's such a catchy read and cute story you dont want to put it down💕

[@SarahNorris]

I remember you talking about how you have got into BookTube in the podcast so lovely to see another book-related video from you!! ☺️ I really want to get back into reading - I think because my degree involves quite a bit of reading, I still associate it with work, but I’m hoping this summer I can get out of that mentality! Thanks for the recommendations, Jenny!

[@JennyMustard]

yeah it's such a passion of mine that i love to talk about it :D happy you liked it !!

[@awarenessvillage]

I had that issue, too. After I graduated I read a few trashy romance novels until my brain could handle mysteries, my favorite genre. Then I read Janet Evanovich, the Stephanie Plum series. They are so much fun!!! Reading something light that doesn't require too much brainpower may help you get into the joy of reading again. It worked for me, anyway. 😁

[@dianana7371]

@@awarenessvillage or if you're not the kind that likes 'easy' literatuur, you could read short stories :)

[@awarenessvillage]

@@dianana7371 That's a great suggestion! I got back into reading in the 1980s. I've now written three novels and a bunch of short stories. Some of my poetry was published in an online magazine that no longer exists. I don't have an agent, yet, but I'm getting help from a writing coach to make sure my writing is as polished as it can be. If I'm not writing every day like a fiend I read three books a week. A love for reading and writing seems built into my DNA.

[@dianana7371]

@@awarenessvillage that's amazing! Creativity is such a gift, even if it's just an outlet for yourself. I hope you do find a publisher though, sharing your gift with others would be even better. :)

[@rudig5698]

Your content is amazing! You even inspired me to start my own KZbin channel. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!😍❤️

[@JennyMustard]

You can do it!

[@camilanavarro896]

Somehow all the summer books on my list make me feel a bit depressed, I guess it's because I really hate heat. Other Voices, Other Rooms by Truman Capote really exudes atmosphere, it's my favorite novel of his. It really transports you to the old oven-like-heat of southern U.S. I also reread every summer L'Etranger by Camus. It's curious how the ambience is summery, full of light and heat, but the narration is cold, like if the main character was in winter while the rest of the world enjoyed summer.

[@monica_.]

Thank you so much for the recommendations! Following your advice I picked up The Summer book and I'm loving it so much! That Northern European summer magic... And the subtle and delicate dynamics of the grandmother-niece relationship. It's a perfect therapy for the soul during these unsettling times.

[@heidilanders9807]

"The Magus" - one of my all-time favorites. David asks, What was that about? In my opinion, about a superficial young man incapable of truly feeling or connecting goes through a magical experience that changes him -- a line from the book sums it up: "Spare him till he dies. Torment him till he lives."

[@tabatha82]

Nothing says summer thrills like Tana French's Dublin Murder series, and summer love also reminds me of Love in The Times of Cholera :)

[@christinalennartz1008]

Hemingway is my absolute favorite summer reads... all his book have a beautiful summery feel

[@annamiller6412]

This video was incredible. My reading list genre has gone from poetry, to young adult fiction. I’m currently finishing off “the gathering, a darkness’s rising book” by Kelly Armstrong. I’d recommend this to anyone who likes the romance, but is also up for a great mystery with twists and turns. 💕

[@1348polar]

Just Kids is one of my top 5 favs of all time!!!

[@EleonoraFestari]

Hi Jenny, my top Summer book is "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" by Fannie Flagg: I know the story unrolls in different seasons throughout the year but what stuck with me most are the scenes located during those slow and hot Summers in Alabama. Another favorite of mine is "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" by Rebecca Wells which is quite similar to the previous book: it takes place in another Southern state of the USA (Louisiana), it moves repeatedly from present to past and there's a lot of drama. But this Summer I want to read "Call me by your name" as it's located in Northern Italy where I was born and spent all my life, so - who knows - maybe I will start loving this period of time thanks to a book. By the way, thank you for the suggestions. I'd love to dive in "Bonjour Tristesse".

[@veganlyncat]

Where The Crawdads Sing! You’ll love it!

[@brilbeer74]

Bought it yesterday! :-)

[@-ParisTexas-]

I also read Bonjour Tristesse every summer. Love it. I wanted to recommend a book by a Spanish author, Elia Barcelo, but I cannot find an English translation (I read it in Dutch). It is very atmospheric and has a bit of a mystery to it. The original is called Disfraces Terribles. If there is an English or Swedish translation I can recommend. Otherwise check out The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham.

[@Missfrankiecat]

The Magus - one of my all time favourites and fantastic reading on holiday in hot weather.

[@candylove1234]

I am reading "Strange Weather in Tokyo" its a sweet love story all about finding connection in loneliness, its a great short read

[@ursikolleryoga3526]

Telemach, Michael Köhlmeier - lazy, hot, bored summer mood as far as I remember from 20 years ago, when I last read it. 😊

[@Leila-ui2ci]

I'm absolutely loving this video, and my reading list just got a little longer :p For my fav summer book : Call me by your name

[@piasandgren3349]

I never heard anyone else recommend The Magus! Really enjoyed reading it a long time ago. Favorit!

[@cynthj]

LOVED THIS video, Jenny! Some books I've loved, some on my TBR list, and then some I've never heard of! All about those seasonal reads. This list was definitely missing Call Me By Your Name :)

[@amymauzy9548]

I like reading Frankenstein in the summer because the ending is super chilling.

[@Kif_Lee]

In a few days I take a week off before starting my dream job and was wondering what to read while chilling on the balcony. :) Perfect timing, thank you!

[@monashafiq8557]

Where is that copy of Jane Eyre frome? I need it in my bookshelf so beautiful

[@tiepolo100]

I love the movie of Bonjour Tristesse with David Niven, Jean Seberg &c 💕

[@elenalda.]

I love your recommendations! I would also recommend The Island by Victoria Hislop. It is set in Greece, a bit summery but it has a bit of sadness with a bright side!

[@33Rubii]

Hoy should do an “all time favorite books”

[@hannahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

MORE BOOK CONTENT! YAAAAAY LOVE IT!!

[@zuzqaa]

oh I so waited for this video! it was worth it. for summer books I recommend for example: The Museum of You - Carys Bray The Trouble with Goats and Sheep - Joanna Cannon

[@Breakfastwitch]

I love Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon! It’s an autobiography travel book about the people of places on America’s backroads. It’s so atmospheric and fills that american countryside nostalgia for me.

[@biancamadden8172]

If you are looking for nostalgia and an evocative summer atmosphere I would really recommend The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden, written in the 1950s and set in champagne country in France, it's a coming of age story (I would sort of link it with Bonjour Tristesse - although I have not actually read that for a while).

[@Holdmymawashi]

I was just watching Lionel Ritchie’s All Night Long and the dancer at the 2 minute mark reminds me so much of you!

[@madamekida]

I love you book videos

[@Bondiblonde]

I can't wait to try these books. I just finished I Always Loved You by Robin Oliveira. It is about the complex nature of artists and the complex relationship between Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. Great read. Growing up I read James Patterson while on vacation at the beach. Fast paced and sometimes completely bone chilling.

[@sylviabran]

I've only read Bonjour Tristesse out of this list, so I added them all to my to read list! I've just finished Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston and I think it definitely qualifies!

[@starlasell5698]

"Under the Tuscan Sun"!

[@celinegraindorge7806]

Here are some of my recent readings : Catling Brian, 2019, Vorrh. Tajadod Nahal, 2012, Elle joue. Ogawa Yoko, 2009, Cristallisation secrète. Murakami Haruki, 2017, Birthday girl, Illustrations de Kat Menschik. Malinconi, Nous deux, Da solo. Chang Jade, 2017, Les Wang contre le monde entier. Chi Zijiang, 2018, Bonsoir la rose.

[@vickycurtin5622]

Thanks so much for these recommendations! These books look so great! It's winter here in New Zealand, but hey, preparation is key

[@catehayes5626]

Jean de Florette and Manon de Sources by Marcel Pagnol always put me in the mood for summer and France. They break my heart every time.

[@pseudohase]

The most summery book ever and a must read: The Garden of Eden by good old Ernest Hemingway. More atmosphere isn’t possible:) You will love it! Sunny greetings from Germany.

[@hebbbby]

I couldn't stop thinking about Girl, Woman, Other after i read it! ❤

[@luisa146]

If you're looking for some horror thrill this summer, try The Elementals by Michael Mcdowell! It's set on a scorching hot beach on the Alabama gulf coast. Not your typical horror setting! It's a great southern gothic story from the 80s. You'll feel the heat even if you're chilling inside with the a/c on! There's also a narrated version on audible that I found pretty good.

[@yuniolvera5138]

One of my summer favourites is We were liars by E. Lockhart. Amazing.

[@brilbeer74]

Yes, very summery. Good choice!

[@hessemaniac]

I love „Outline“ by Rachel Cusk (she is a writing goddess) - situated in Athens in a hot summer a splendid narrator meets interesting people and masters the art of listening. Philosophical and wonderful.

[@Katie-vy5rd]

Just watched Bonjour Tristesse the movie. Loved it thank you 😊

[@WhatIsThere-WIT]

Thanks for the tips! Judging by the ones I knew before I want to read the others, too. My tip for you: Den amerikanska flickan by Finnish author Monika Fagerholm. Nostalgia packed and very summery.

[@sylwiam.7228]

For me the perfect summer, nostalgic book is Who Was David Weiser? by Paweł Huelle. It's a perfect blend of summer mood, unexplained secrets, childhood memories :)

[@dariamomot8804]

Oh, I am also super nostalgia 😅

[@architectureandfilmblog1727]

1. The quiet American by Graham Greene: sultry Saigon atmosphere, lovely prose, good thriller. (Similar atmosphere/setting in the film The Lover, which is an adaptation of Marguerite Duras' novel, so prob that too- and the novel's prob better!) 2. The Great Gatsby: sweltering 20's New York and beautiful prose. 3. The English Patient: Italy and the Sahara. 4. Annihilation/ Area X: weird and beautiful, set in a coastal civilisation being mysteriously reclaimed by nature. 5. The orchid thief: the steamy, verdant atmosphere of south florida swampland preserves. :-)

[@whateverbabe]

Loved the list! I wonder if you have read new books this summer?

I so love this video! Would like more of them in the future :) One of my favourite summer books is Magnus, written by a Dutch author Arjen Lubach. It's actually set in Sweden. The way of writing is so beautiful in my opinion. It's a lovestory and mystery in one. I don't think it's translated though..

I loved this video! Just another example of how accomplished and intelligent you are. Your book choices are amazing and sophisticated. I can recommend the book Putney by Sofka Zinovieff, set between London and Greece, it explores the subtle and eerie ways in which an underage girl is seduced by a family friend. Poignant and beautiful. Btw I am learning Swedish now and would love if you could recommend on your channel some of your favourite Swedish authors! Much love from Bulgaria!

About to start Girl, Woman Other today. It was sat in front of me while i watched this video :)

[@mayorktrain]

The Corfu Trilogy by Gerald Durrell is a favourite of ours, it made me want to up sticks and move to Greece. It also had me laughing out loud at the way he describes his family. Perfect summer read. There is a TV adaptation called The Durrells which is pretty good but much prefer the books!

Classic British "chick-lit" from the 90s: "Good Bye, Johnny Thunders" by Tania Kindersley. Unfortunately, it seems to be hardly available anymore.
