lavenderheads where yall at

You’ve inspired me to give The Bros Karamazov another try. I got about a hundred pages into it like ten years ago and really enjoyed it, but then life got busy and I convinced myself I didn’t have time to finish it and put it on the shelf, bookmark still where I’d stopped. And there it’s sat. ‘East of Eden’ is one of the most beautiful books ever written. I can’t think of many other times in my life I was so happy to have read something to sad.

I love your book collection series! As always it was incredibly relaxing and comforting, Sarah. Your videos are such a huge help to me and so many others. Thank you for all you do for the ASMR community!! 💜

2 celebrity deaths that wrecked me most were ALSO Steve Irwin and Anthony Bourdain. Haven't been able to watch any of their shows since, but you're inspiring me to get over that to read Bourdain's book. 💙

LOVE your book vids. Very excited to watch/listen!

I love used books ! Love your asmr books updates as well, it’s actually how I found your channel and I stayed for the vibe I hope you keep making those forever :D

Hey Sarah! I am a High Schooler pursuing my career in Sciences who has to manage between school preparation and college Entrance Test Preparation. Trying to mediate between those two gave me a lot of stress and I often ended up having headaches and losing sleep. Recently, I found your videos...They are soooo relaxing and make me feel so stress free as if all of my anxiety is gone. Nowadays, whenever i feel stressed and fatigued, I often jam up to one of your ASMR videos and it always helps me release all the tension and sleep peacefully. Thank you so much for making these videos!!! Lots of Love from India!!

Hi sarah(: i just wanted to say that your videos help me alot. Whenever i need to relax or calm down or when i need sleep, i watch your videos.and you're really like a friend to me. I actually broke my leg this week and here in iran we'rr going through alot. But hearing your voice makes me feel better, so thank you💜love ya.

Your books videos are my favorite videos that you do!

i might not read, but listening to you talk about them, what they're like, what you think of them, what to expect from them, is very relaxing :))

These book videos are my all-time favorite you've done, as I too am a lifelong reader. You've inspired me to go pick out something from my bookshelf after a month or so break from reading.

yess sarah!! more book asmr! it's my favorite of yours

So excited for another book video! They’re my absolute favorite 😍

Thanks for all your work. It is always calming!

Loved the video, Sarah! Very relaxing and as always, some good recommendations! 😊

ooh the colours in this are so fall/autumn i love it- how cosy

I was so excited to read book asmr, and you did not disappoint! Thank you for this!

Sarah love your book sharing asmr! ☺️

May I say that I really appreciate how you often go through all the comments and heart each one. It's so special to be part of a channel where the creator really looks for feedback. Keep being awesome!

Love book reviews/recommendations! Great video 🥳

Sarah is one of the few people, who can get me to listen to a book review. Miracles do happen

Always amazing content, thank you for being so natural and nice in your videos, keep it up 💜

Poisonwood Bible absolutely crushed me. Definitely some feelings I hadn't ever felt before. Awesome vid as usual, your books vids are the top in the game!

YAS S let’s goooo book asmr vids!! these vids are my absolute favourite from you😍😍

I’m trying to get back into daily reading, so thanks! A celebrity death that really rocked me was definitely Kim Jonghyun. I was a freshman in high school, and my mom was the one who broke the news to me. i will never forget it

Catcher in the Rye is one of my all time faves. Another Great video Sarah, thanks!!!!

Never fails anytime I find myself wanting to watch book asmr lavenders got a new video 😄

I watch a lot of asmr but no other asmr artist can let me feel so relaxed like you so i just want to say that i think i get so relaxed so darn good when i watch your videos its just that i feel ur energy thru the screen and u rlly seem like a kind, caring,beautiful person and as a extra ir beautifull too look at so thank you so much for making asmr videos sending you lots of love and respect for the effort u need to do to make these videos♥️🙏💯👸

I could listen to her talk and read forever, never fails to get me super sleepy

Amazing video as always 💜💜💜

I have been waiting for your next book video!! Always amazing (I’ve also been in a reading slump myself for months, it really varies)

I’ve read this in your comment section before but I absolutely love how you light your videos. I can watch these as I’m in bed feeling sleepy without sensory overload. Thanks Sarah! 💕

I loveee your videos! But your book videos are my absolute favorite 😊

very relaxing!!! ✨💜

Thank you for being the best ASMR artist out there! Never been this early to a video and at perfect timing ✨

I read, strange the Dreamer a few weeks ago and I was totally floored by how good it was 😊

Your book videos are my favorite!! I really wish you would read the Lymond Chronicles. That series is a MASTERPIECE and so few people know about it.

I’ve been waiting for another book asmr! ❤

I love soul repose. She still post from time to time. Great video!

I just read the Brothers Karamzov! I loved it. Especially all the philosophy. I’m in the midst of Crime and Punishmen nowt. The best part is the Grand Inquisitor. I think Grushenka and Katarina Ivanovna are very sympathetic characters. Plus I’ve been yelling since finishing it “l’m a scoundrel, but not a thief!”

This was probably the only and most intellectual ASMR content I’ve ever watched. I really appreciate it. I would strongly support you to continue producing this type of content (in addition to your other work, of course.) Thank you again!

i love all your videos but I always rewatch the book ones!!! My favorite 🥰

as soon as i heard On the road, i was all ears. One of my favorite books of all time

Just wanted to say thank you the Panik help vid helped me alot last night by helping me identity what I was feeling

Your content is excellent but your book videos have got to be my favourite! 🤩

Your videos are really help and they help me go to sleep

Thank you one again sarah! You are my favorite asmrtist and so never fail to help me out! ❤

Soo relaxing 💤

The Last Unicorn was my favorite cartoon growing up. Love it!

would love to see more book review content from you !! ♥️

this was lovely ! i m bookworm n proud!

I remember being sooo sad when Steve Irwin died... when I was a kid, one summer, my siblings and I got into a huge fight and so as punishment we were forbidden from watching TV except for educational programs. So we watched a lot of Discovery Channel, and our favourite show by far was Crocodile Hunter, we watched an hour of it every day... we were all so sad when we found out he died...

Sarah Lavender ASMR thank you so very much! Good luck ✨

Your channel is amazing!

Love your content so much, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦💕

I loooove “asmr and a good cigar”. I’ve had it on my favorites lists for a super long time. Seen the video probably ~10 times, but have never read the book.

I didnt knew anything about "the last unicorn". Than one day i found the animated movie on youtube. YT just randomly recommended it to me, and i loved it. The music is amazing. Then I found out that the animation was a part of many peoples childhood. That was sweet. And I was really interested in readying it.

I’m glad u picked up the catcher in the rye , I mentioned it in your stream !

On the Road was released in an edition based on Kerouac's original "scroll" manuscript with the actual names of the Beat figures used instead of pseudonyms a few years back. Also, knowing the QUILTBAG identities of the figures, existing mid-century when being as such was considered criminal, adds another rich layer to the work.

reading slump girlies unite🫶🏻

I would love if you had a booktube channel! I would watch every video ❤

ASMR and a good cigar!! You suggested that a year or so back, I now watch that video monthly

Man hearing about Robin Williams and Paul Walker sucked! But I think the celebrity death that really effected me the most was Chadwick Boseman. That was the first celebrity death I cried at. I was scrolling through instagram that day, saw a black and white picture of him and I was like "hey thats a nice picture of him" Then I read the caption talking about his passing. I couldn't believe it. He was such a great actor and his time as T"Challa (Black Panther) was short, but it'll never be forgotten. Wakanda Forever💪

i go through periods where i read 3 books/week, and others where i don’t pick up a book for 3 months haha

i just finished watching The Menu and remembered this book from this video and just checked it out on libby!

While in a “slump,” it is hard to read. I have difficulty concentrating. Much like exercise, when you have zero energy. I appreciate you being real while you help us chill. ✌️

My fav video ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love it 😍

Just before starting to watch this video I finished my latest book and it was one of my absolute favorites this year so far: Free: Coming of age at the end of history by Lea Ypi I think this could be something you’d really enjoy as well. It’s autobiographic about the author growing up in Albania during the fall of communism. The book balances telling the story of an individual family and their struggles next to telling a story of a country so well that it felt like an in depth history lesson without feeling distanced.

ASMR = LOVE

I loved the Poppy War trilogy so much! I hope you can get your hands on it soon

I had to read Heart of Darkness in college and write a paper on it…I remember enjoying it (I think)! I also love Kurt Vonnegut! It’s good to read the classics…I haven’t, but I admire anyone who does! Cindi (from WV). 🥰

Sarah please some roleplays lol I’m craving for those.

With it being October you should do a witch (or anything Halloween) themed! :) I still love the hermione one you did ❤

I have been reading constantly since the age of 2 so for 57 years 😳 I've just finished Where The Crawdads Sing. I can't emphasise enough how brilliant this book is....the authors references regarding the marsh & its wildlife were astounding 🙂

Hello Sarah! Really love your videos, especially the book ones, you made me wishlist a lot of books already, now scavenging book markets to find them all, I really love to buy used books, it has a special feeling about it I guess. I was wondering if you have a Goodreads account? I'm really curious to find out which other books you have read and I am currently missing out on. 🤭

yes we stan classic lit-!

Yess. Another book video. The Brothers karamavoz is one of my fav books. This year i started Kingsbridge. Now im at book 2. Not my cup of tea. After this i may read metamorphoza from kafka or oliver twist from dickens. Need a break from Kingsbridge 🤭.

You should read Aimee and jaguar! It’s my favorite book of all time and truly just a beautiful true story!🥰💛

📖 Kitchen Confidential and The Heart of Darkness are on my list! 📚 If you enjoy Kerouac but you are not sure about Bukowski maybe go for John Fante or Henry Miller.

Please let us know if you have a Goodreads! Love these videos!!

i love these videos so much!! lavender, are you on goodreads? or anyone else here? 😌📚

Sarah has a new bookish ASMR video up? Immediate watch. 💕

Finally!!! We get to hear you read aloud!...

My fav notification of the day

Do I see books? Yay books! Good selection. I have read all of them except for Pillars of the Earth. Bordain's novels are actually pretty entertaining too. I liked both the book and movie version of The Last Unicorn even with the differences. I actually have a few more Peter Beagle books and short story collections. A couple I've read and liked, and still a few on the shelf waiting. I am on the non-Kerouac side, and I thought I was going to enjoy him before reading. I loved Heart of Darkness, enjoyed The Brothers Karamazov, and could really do without Catcher in the Rye. As far as classics, if you've never tried Graham Greene before I always particularly recommend The Heart of the Matter, The Comedians, and The Power and the Glory (set in Mexico), but he has a lot of interesting stuff.

Recently read "Rebecca" and "My Cousin Rachel" by Daphne Du Maurier. Very suspenseful and atmospheric. Would recommend

Sadly, one of the main reasons why I deeply loved The Brothers Karamazov is exactly how deeply I resonated with Ivan all the way through the book. His analytical mind is what has him tied on the leash of despair, and his whole deep insights onto religion are exactly what has got me gradually resenting the idea of God or anything close to that kind. So maybe.. yes, maybe in order to fully appreciate a work like BK it is required to connect with one of the three-ish assets of personalities described in each one of the brothers. But maybe also not.. who knows how literature works on everyone’s mind. Nonetheless Dostoevsky is exactly that type of writer to make you writhe in your convictions.

If you like The Last Unicorn, there is a kind of sequel to it called Two Hearts. But beware, if you’re someone who cries from books and if TLU makes you cry, you might want to skip Two Hearts :D it made me cry hard and stayed with me for weeks.. I could listen to you talking about books forever 💚 you put things so eloquently and voice your opinions carefully, and I also love that you mention trigger warnings. I am a quite sensitive reader myself (even though of course you have to see things in the time they were created as you said) and I take issues with a lot of things, so it’s good to hear that others feel the same :) you also manage to make me curious about books that I wouldn’t necessarily have considered to pick up, so thx for that :D

As I big reader I love the book videos they are interesting and relaxing at the same time. The books you have recommended I think you would like a book called the night circus. It’s very much in the vein of a fairy tale fantasy book.!

BOOK HAUL OH HOW WE’VE MISSED YOU

I cried my little heart out when Robin Williams died.

Awesome video

I love your book videos. I also totally get your point on archaic mentality about women in society. That's one of the main reasons I couldn't get into Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera".

Cozy 😌

LOTR themed ASMR in healing house in Rivendell would be dope 👀

I think you would love the book Finding Everett Ruess by David Roberts. Everett was kinda like Chris McCandless/Into The Wild. I know you like climbing too maybe you would also like Annapurna by Maurice Herzog :)

Do you use Goodreads? I'd love to see what you are reading at the time. Loved the video
