dreamy cottagecore books to read this spring🌷 warm spring vibes & new books

Hello friends! 🌸

Spring is almost here! I hope you enjoy the spring vibes of this little video in which I acquire some new books with all the warm spring cottagecore vibes ☺️ As a seasonal reader, spring is a time for stories of flower fairies, cottage gardens, Jane Austen, poetry and flower picking.

I am still slowly recovering and working on my health, so thank you friends so much for being patient with me during this time. I truly cannot thank you enough. It means the world to me that you're here 💕 Next weeks video will be back to my normal filming style, but until then I hope you still enjoy this sit-down style video for today.

💗 Thank you so much to my incredible executive producers 💗

The Book "Kiki's Delivery Service" is perfect for spring. It is a little different from the Ghilbli movie but just as whimsical🌸

I couldn’t be happier that you’re back to bless us with more inspiring & wholesome content! It’s still very cold where I live and I need to get excited for spring! ❤️🌷

Hi, I never write these comments for fear of them never even been seen...but who cares! I’m just a girl in a cafe writing to a girl who shares her joy on the internet. I just wanted to say I love your work so much. I’ve been having a hard time and I woke up and went to my favorite cafe, got a waffle and a rose latte then settled in and found you posted a new video. It was such a joy to watch and really really helped me. You’ve taught me how to romanticize my life again and I found myself crying to your spring book reviews in said cafe. I hope you know how very special you are and your light in the world. Hope you are feeling better and happy spring friend. 💛

Honestly, Desi's posts instantly induce pure joy. Comparable to hearing the door bell and knowing it's your best friend from childhood. ❤️

It's been a bad day. I ate something my stomach didn't like. A migraine is threatening all day. Nothing went right. I feel stupid and exhausted. And the cats got out. At night! And none are exactly white...
O.o"

But then notifications say you posted a video...and it's both cottagecore and books and spring!

I'm walking on sunshine! WhooOoooh! :D

i was literally just searching for some cottage core books, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time! 💓

[emmafriary]

I’ve never commented on anyones youtube video before but after watching your videos I felt inspired and cleaned up and redecorated my house to have the same sweet cottage core/ light academia style and when my boyfriend got home he told me he loved it and wanted to continue it in other rooms I hadn’t touched. Thank you for being so inspiring 🤍

[eleanorrapley]

The Whinnie The Pooh books are absolutely perfect for spring and summer. They’re the cosiest stories with the quaintest illustrations! I think you’d absolutely adore them Desi!

[alliepayne]

"There's a murder, I think, that happens. It just sounds so sweet!!"
Lol, can't get enough of you, Desi.

[lizm]

If you’ve never seen the “Barbie and the Tale of Peter Rabbit” doll you absolutely should search it up! Your whole look and spring aesthetic match the doll so well!

[ambermashal]

I have a confusing stressful day ahead of me so this is a perfect calming way to start the day!

[EmmeChatterton]

I remember cooking through the Anne of Green Gables cookbook as a college student, so cozy and happy! Thanks for all the interesting new recommendations and reminders about the classics, !

[ginatolliver]

Just put tons of these on my TBR! Thank you for the recommendations. I know your book-based videos may not get as much traffic as your other videos but they are so helpful to us bookworms! Also, I love how you try to consume content and perform activities based on the season. Modern society doesn't allow us to stay as in touch with nature as our ancestors but you've found a way to cherish each season :) Hope you have a lovely week!

I just finished On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor and I loved it. Dark and very atmospheric with a little ghost haunting. It also goes back and forth from 1885 to present day. Loved it.

[jenniferhackman]

I'm not sure if you've ever read Matilda, but it's one of my go to spring time, feel good books. And it's such a quick read when you just want to smile :)

[dianaferreira]

Hi Desi!! I just wanted to share that I'm currently living with depression and that everytime I feel like I don't have enough air to breath, your videos bring me peace!! You, and your videos are really helping me in these hard times, thank you so much for everything!! You are a special human being 🥰🥰

[lizhopkins]

What a wonderful thing to wake up to!! 🌷🌞📚

[Live_love_FELLOWII]

I am so glad your back Desi! 🤗🌻Praying for your recovery and inner peace. You deserve serenity and we got your back! Thank you for this aesthetically pleasing content(every singe time)! 💚💐

Praying for everyone's safety and happiness 🌹🥰Sending virtual hugs.

I’ve read a few books that you’ve recommended. As a reader, I appreciate these videos! 😁

Kate Morton’s “the secret keeper” was the first book to get me back into reading since high school. Truthfully, I judged the book by the pretty cover, and hoped it’d be a good one. To my surprise, it became one of my favorites! It was the perfect book to pick up after 6 years of not reading to rope me back in.
I love that her books take place in the English countryside. The forgotten garden and the house at riverton by Kate Morton are also a few favorites 💕☺️
