new camera angle unlocked !! also spring = return of the flowery shirt

I'm currently reading Anne of Green Gables and it 100% has spring vibes 😊🌼🌺🌸

I think the House in the Cerulean Sea is great for spring, the setting has a garden and a forest 💐🌿 it’s not super prominent it’s just mentioned a few times but it’s a happy funny fantasy 😊 also the sequel to Nevermoor is not happy at all it made me sad

I think Heidi is a great classic to read during spring!

I think a book that gave me a spring vibe was Emma by Jane Austen! I ls very sunny and has a beautiful landscape

I love that I found another adult who loves to read young people's literature as much as I do! Great video, Leonie! Happy Shakespeare Day!

howl's moving castle is one of my all time favourite books ever the vibes are impeccable, thank u for this reminder to reread it in spring !!!

SPRINGFEEL!!!

YES PLEASE READ HEARTSTOPPER!!! I binged the show yesterday and IMMEDIATELY read the four volumes, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life

Oh yeah, that sounds good.

Ohh, that sounds good.

I want a good book reader that reads the book right out of the page

Definitely.

A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking also has baking magic! Durian Sukegawa's Sweet Bean Paste has a spring themed cover and is a story about friendship. And I love Oscar Wilde's short stories. Actually anything with fairytale and whimsical elements are great for springtime reading!🌸

A Magic Steeped In Poison by Judy I Lin has a similar vibe to Baker's Magic where magic is unlocked/practiced by making tea. haven't read any of them, but now I am interested in reading both of them. As always, thanks for the rec, Leonie! Happy Spring! 🌼🌸

Very important spring book recommendation: The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett It's a cute little story about children discovering their love of nature, and learning how to garden, basically perfect cottage core and easy to read :)

Gonna chill out with this video and a tea before bed ✨☕️

Oh yeah that sounds good!

I loooved the first Tea Dragon Society graphic novel and am going to hunt down the next few. It’s a super easy to read fantasy cottage core vibe story with little dragons that grow tea leaves on them. Super cute! 🐉 🫖 ✨

Oh, yeah. That sounds good.

A Room With a View is a good classic with a spring vibe. It’s a relatively short book as well by E.M. Forester. I read Well Met recently at your recommendation. Going to continue with the series.

That sounds good

I love Mrs. Dalloway, and the way you drift among the different perspectives. There's a beautiful annotated edition I've been wanting. I think I'd love Nevermoor, if I can ever get to it Yay flowery shirt! 💐

I'm so in love with your shirt and rings jajaj The books sounds so much fun based on how you explain them!

Im reading Kiki’s Delivery Service and it’s PERFECT spring vibes.

the way i literally just finished priory 😭 it was so so so good im obsessed. i cant wait to pick up some of your recommendations and have the best reading month in may ☀️

a few days ago i read all the heartstopper graphic novels outside in the sun, and immedietly after binged the show. amazing day

Samantha Shannon is actually releasing a PREQUEL to Priory, not a sequel! It takes place about 500 years before the events in Priory, if I remember correctly and it’s coming January 24th so you have plenty of time to immerse yourselves in this world. HIGHLY recommend!

i finished the house in the cerulean sea yesterday and its a new fav so definitely check it out soon!!

It's been lovely spring weather here in Norway, over 20 degrees for a week now! Can't wait to watch this :)

the way i'm stopping myself to watch heartstopper because i want to read the graphic novel first 😩😩 thank god i'm not the only one

i recommend the Enchanted April, a classic spring read! a really fun piqturesce book wit english ladies in the italian spring :)

8 inch bookmark, think you can handle that?

Springfeel....8 inches... can you handle that?

aaaaaaa im so happy you recommended the priory of the orange tree!! its one of my favorites! and YES heartstopper is definetly a good choice to read in spring

The title of this video was so luring

The Secret Garden is the ultimate Spring book for me!! I definitely agree with The House in the Cerulean Sea! And I'd also recommend Comfort me with Apples (even though it's a 'horror' novella haha) and Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto (finding the small joys in life even when one is grieving)!!

flashback to when I commented on the autumn video that I was in the southern hemisphere so it was spring... can't wait to rewatch the autumn video as well as read these happy cosy books hahaj

Need someone that can worship it

The fact that Samantha Shannon also said the Priory of the Orange Tree companion/sequel would be even longer than the first has me shaking in my books. I loved it, but it also took me forever to finish the Priory of the Orange Tree. Can't imagine how long it'll take me to finish the sequel

More frolicky sunny meadow vibes books: 🌸 The Secret Garden: To me, this is the epitome of cozy spring feels. Tending to a garden and watching it come alive; cozy food like homemade bread, milk, honey, eggs, etc; a fun secret carefully kept between three children; said children growing up and discovering more about themselves with the time they spend in the garden. It just leaves you with such a content and wholesome feeling after you've read it. 🌼 The Borrowers: This is the book that Ghibli movie Arrietty / The Secret Life of Arrietty was based on. And i love both the movie and the book so much. The book also 100% has the same cozy vibes, and describes more in detail about the diy tricks used by Arrietty and her family, and it's just a really nice read. 🌸 What Katy Did: This is the story of a hyperactive and irresponsible young girl who meets with an accident and becomes disabled for quite a long time. Doesn't sound very happy but the first part of the book is Katy and her siblings going out with a picnic basket packed by their aunt, and discovering new paths in the wilderness, picking flowers and berries and pretending that they're travellers or rulers of a kingdom. The second half is about how Katy learns to be happy and content even though she can't walk, following the advice of her cousin who is also disabled, and just makes her best of the circumstances she has, working towards a healthier and happier life. 🌼 The Old Curiosity Shop: In all honesty, this book was a bit boring for me because of how much the story drags on. However, it definitely has cozy spring vibes, with the main character and her grandfather having to run away from their house, and travels from place to place, looking for a suitable new home.

Howl's Moving Castle is definitely a spring read, and I have not read it but it does sound like The House of the Cerulean Sea is also one. I always go for Alice Adventures in Wonderland when recommending spring books.

Oh man I’ve tried Priory of the Orange tree like 6 times. I don’t have a problem with long books; on a good day I can read like 700 pages, but that book was just tooooo muuuuch Also all I’ve read the past 2 months are dark thrillers lol I think I’m immune to happy seasons and I get Summer SAD 😂

I absolutely adore your shirt!

already too excited to read the books you’re going to recommend in this video!!!!

I didn´t read much on your list, but I like the Brown sisters, they´re adorable and think it´s a good spring read.

AHHH so happy to finally see someone talking about Nevermoor! It deserves way more hype!!

Gonna put out another recommendation on this theme: The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. It is a short, ebullient SF thriller with a wonderfully light touch.

That shirt is SO PRETTY AAAHHH

*me, happily watching this in autumn* 🤍☕☁️

I don't know if i can handle that. Sounds like a lot.

Oh Yeah, that sounds good. 800 pages! Can you handle that?

very warm and peaceful video leo

ahh the vibes are immaculate

You sound tight.

Princess Bride is a great book for Spring

I'm totally here to admire your blouse 🌺🌸🌼 Love the spring vibe of it so much 😍

You are wonderful , the wa y you talk and review the books really impressed me and made me focus on every word you say

I got an 8 inch bookmark and it's gettin' hahd

I needed this. My friend asked me to read A Thousand Splendid Suns and boi I was not ready for that emotional damage

senlin ascends by josiah bancroft the whole books of babel series gives me spring/ghibli/steampunk vibes

Little women by Louisa May Alcott is also very springy. Also there is a book of Ghiblis, Kiki’s Delivery Service that is very springy too!

Anne of Green Gables is the most happy and beautiful book for me. it is ideal book for spring🧡 i highly recommend it🔥

Your shirt 🥹🥹🥹 the hydrangeas 😍😍😍 I moved last year and my old house that i lived in since i was born was in 5 acres of woods and we had beautiful hydrangeas in our front yard and I miss them so much. I’m only 30 seconds into the video but I really wanted you to know how much that shirt just made me happy, and sad 😜 can’t wait to hear your recs!

HEARTSTOPPER YESSS! i read like the whole thing in 2 hours or soo (even tho it is 1000+ pages)! I really recommend it and if you are ever in a reading slump THIS is THE WAY to get out of it! :)

the intro was so cute and pure 🥺❤️🌸

I'm currently reading the folk of air series and it's really giving me spring vibes too :)

When you said it's a mammoth of a book, I just knew it was the priory of the orange tree. I have it here on my desk and can't wait to start with it😍

priory of the orange tree, perfect choice!

I just got a copy of the priory of the orange tree but I’m so intimidated by it 👀

" you know when life springing up everywhere, birds and flowers are all around, you need to be reminded of your own deterioration and ageing, and that's what this book can do for you" and that's the time I hit the like button.

Yeah, I was pleased to realize that Mrs Dalloway stays with you several days - even weeks after reading. Often I think about the characters, and what they will do next.

I love well met sooo muchh i read it the first time you mentioned it and i get so happy every other timr you mention it hah!!

How's your lips?

1:18 She knows

Hearstopper is a great read for spring. Although I'll read about Nick and Charlie during all seasons

Love how Leonie falters while calling Dorian Gray intelligent 🤣🤣

I already read the portrait of dorian gray.....but it wasn't in spring there was a storm. It's a good book

Loved the little edit at the begging 😻

For a nice spring classic read, I recommend Bettina von Arnim "The enchanted April" (Verzauberter April).

omg i read well met recently based on u recommending it in another video and it was so much fun !!

that's a nice video ❤ but i feel like the picture of dorian gray would be better for autumn 🌚anyways, i'd also recommend for you anne of grean gables it's so beautiful and perfect for spring

Just got the priorities of the orange tree and I will let you know what I think about it please stay safe and enjoy your reading 📖 love your friend John xxx

My favorite reading seasons are Winter and Spring, and I definitely pick up books to match the vibes. Lol. The House in the Cerulean Sea is my favorite book, and I've read it three times in the last year during three different seasons. Lol. I actually just checked out Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones from the library for Spring Vibes, because I agree that Howl's Moving Castle is an amazing spring book. The Hobbit is also a favorite for Spring. I just read Stardust by Neil Gaiman, and I think that was a pretty good spring read too.

bout to read Well Played and didn't even consider the fact that the spring vibes will be strong it💐

I freaking LOVE your shirt!!!

Lol when you brought up Mrs. Dalloway, I was like isn't that book about depression? 🤣🤣🤣

Kiki's delivery service also starts in spring making it an excellent story for this time of the year. (sadly the sequels never got translated)

i have to recommend the series "Fablehaven" by Brandon Mull. The descriptions of nature and plants, flowers, forests and very sping-ish creatures like fairies is AMAZING, very cozy and atmospheric

I really like the cover you have for The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's gorgeous!

The Virgin Suicides is most definitely a spring-summer vibe for me

Yes thank you queen🌸✨🍒

I think you'd really like the Fairyland series by Catherynne M Valente. It's a cozy middle grade fantasy series, it might be a bit more autumnal than spring-like though

My favourite spring book is Pride and Prejudice!

Spring books planning is good! I want to read every book!

I already read The Priory of the orange tree and I must say, even if I didn't enjoy the clumsy finale, it's one of the last fantasy novel that sticks to my mind! I think I read it like... 1.5 years ago, and still, sometimes I think about it and all the protagonists and the backgrounds with the variety of realms and GOSH, so beautiful! The italian hardcover it's also a piece of art and shows all the heraldry and makes me wanna cry for the beauty ç_ç so precious, pls, read it if u didn't. You won't be disappointed

💫 happiness and sunshine 💫

You remind me of me in terms of trying to find happy books in your collection; you realise that you don’t read that much just happy happy stuff haha
