ASMR Favorite Books of 2021 ♡ 

Girl, I’m loving your consistent uploads. Especially these book videos. You are literally the best and you deserve way more recognition 😍🥰

I looovvve book asmr, always interested in your picks because you read books I normally don’t go for so that’s cool. also the apple mic sounds so good

What great choices, I definitely have to put some of them on my tbr list! I didn't get to read too much this year but my favorites were Before the coffee gets cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata and Reality Show by Anne Freytag. Have a good holiday season Mauve! ♡

Hey Books 📚 😊 I still love physical books the way they feel and smell. I would never do books on tape or Kindle. Something about real books.

1) I am loving the red vibes and am totally obsessed with your nail polish lol 2) Milkman sounds so interesting and I am ordering it as soon as I finish this comment haha Thanks for another great video! ❤️

I always look forward to your end of year recommendations Mauve. I definitely agree about picking up books that have been around and stood the test of time and just the new hot things that are being pushed in the media. I think my favourite recent work of fiction I read this year was Homeland Elegies by the playwright Ayad Akhtar. It kind of blurs the lines between autobiography/memoir and political satire/social commentary. The Copenhagen Trilogy seems like it has similarities and sounds like a good read. Thanks as always for your unique perspective. :)

also thank you for all of your book videos i have gotten so many book recommendations from them so i really appreciate them

Just yesterday i thought "oof i miss Mauve's book asmr" AND HERE IT IS 🤩

Love your picks as always Mauve! My favourite reads of the year were Amy & Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout, Recitation by Bae Su-ah and Animal by Lisa Taddeo

This is essential information at 1am on a Tuesday 😅

I liked Trick but I LOVED Ties (and it’s the only other one I’ve been able to hunt down in English) Ties is about a troubled marriage. SO good. Also, not to be that person, but given the books you flag as liking, it might be worth checking out the podcast Backlisted. It’s a Brit pod that highlights under-appreciated books and the hosts focus on all the elements you flag. At the very least, it’s worth a scroll through the books they covered.

so far my fav books i’ve read this year are 11/22/63 by stephen king, the trial by kafka, and golden compass by philip pullman

Thank you for sharing and caring lovely lady appreciate you! 💜💜💜

Thanks for the video and recommendations, perfect for Christmas break🥰 probably gonna start with Second Place

Book asmr is definitely my favorite so this is just perfect. It feels like we are friends chilling out together❤️ thank you so much it definitely helps me relax and feel like like I’m not alone.

do more videos with apple mic pleaaaase❤️

Thank you so much for your current favorite books to read I'm fascinated and intrigued appreciate you! ☺️💜💜

Hi happy holidays

Glad to see Milkman on here! One of my favourites of 2021 also

oooooooh so excited for this one!!! can't wait to give it a listen and hopefully get some of these books 😍 thank u as always!!!

Hola Mauve, saludos desde México ! Tienes el mejor asmr

♥️

your book and perfume asmr gives me life - truly all your whispering and soft spoken videos are great

I LOVED Milkman, I think it's truly a masterwork, I know a lot of people don't like the language and I get that it's tricky, but I felt like the whole point is that the narrator is trying to navigate a situation in which she's barely allowed to say anything without being punished by someone, of course she's evasive and secretive and inaccessible when she tries to tell us what happened, especially if you know the history of the Troubles and what people had to live through. I liked Second Place too, but I don't love that Cusk made it a letter. Every time I read the word Jeffers I had this image of some poor man trying to read this MASSIVE letter he'd been sent where a lady psychoanalyses herself at him when he really had other things to be doing, and Cusk does some outdated things with images of fatness that jar my idea of her as this super sophisticated, precise writer, I feel like she should be better than that. I still really liked it though, the end conflict between the narrator and her partner was such a beautiful portrayal of the ways that we get so wrapped up our idea of what our life should be we forget about the people and love that we already have. (also I love the one-handed tapping for what it's worth, the sounds becomes really close and soft!)

so good to see an italian book in your fav ones! as an italian fan of yours it makes me really happy! love your videos always

I’m really glad that you like Starnone’s book Trick! My favourite book of the author is Ties! I warmly recommend you to read it, it’s brilliant :)

Ahhh yes another! I’ve had s few good recommendations from here. In the dream house was a good shout last year. You should do these earlier in the month so they can be put on my Christmas list
