1-call me by your name 2- the book of summer - Tove jansson 3 - the beautiful summer - Cesare Pavese 4 - americanah - Chimamanda 5 - Bonjour tristesse 6 - all Natalia Ginzburg’s novellas 7 - this light coming from the sea - Hiromi Kawakami 8 - How I killed my family - Bella Mackie Thanks for your book videos!💛
I just finished Okay Days. I just loved it. I was so invested from the moment I started reading. Your acknowledgment to David at the end is so beautiful 💛 cannot wait to read the next one. xxx
You had me at "No plot, just vibes"! The Anthropologists sounds perfect for me too ❤ I didn't realise that Mrs D is the popular Woolf pick. 'Orlando' is my favourite 😊
19:19 it's good substitute for fingers while scrubbing if needed. I have gel nails and washing hair (and dishes) weaken the bond between the gel and nail and the edge of nail lifts.. so for that it's good. Does the trick.
I also was mesmerized by Strange weather in Tokyo... I just finished "Things That Make One's Heart Beat Faster " by Mia Kankimäki. In search of Sei Shonagon, a Japanese writer and lady-in-waiting who wrote about her life in the court of Heian era Japan. Are you familiair with Persephone Books, a bookshop and editor located in Bath? They reprint neglected fiction and non-fiction, mostly by women writers and mostly dating from the mid-twentieth century.
1. the master of souls - irène nemirovski 2. zeros and ones - sadie plant 3. between two fires - christopher buehlman you introduced me to banana yoshimoto in one of your older videos and now i always look forward to your new book videos, tack så mycket!
Ooooh I love those recommendations! I can’t wait for The Anthropologist to be published, eagerly waiting for my copy! And I’ve just bought Strange Weather in Tokyo, you totally convinced me (I was not convinced before as I think that the man is much older than the woman but we’ll see what happens!). Please make more books related videos 🥺❤️
Thank you Jenny! For me, I'd say : - The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann - The Witch of the West is dead, Nashiki Kaho (very sweet!) - Green Wheat, Colette (French one, you'd like that one I'm sure :)) - Froth on the Daydream, Boris Vian (same!)
Every summer I feel a sudden and very strong urge to read Balzac. No idea why. So I tend to read Balzac every year. Also Faulkner and his descriptions of the heavy summer heat is always good.
Hi Jenny! Great set of books! I do have a recommendation, not sure if it fits with summer, but a marvelous book for sure - “Death with Interruptions” by José Saramago. Hoping you give it a shot! José Saramago is one of the best authors Portugal has ever seen 😊
Very good analysis of interesting books, thank you! Despite the air strikes and missile attacks, I am watching this first video on your channel with interest. Thanks again and greetings from Ukraine!
My summer reads would be: Okay Days (seriously I loved loved it) Call me by your name (amaizing) probably Conversations with Friends Margueritte Duras Little Horses of Tarquinia (very similar vibes to Bonjour Tristesse I think), The Stranger by Sandor Marai too Many books by Patrick Modiano could be on this list I think maybe Kyoto by Kawabata would make that list too.
I have read Reunion because you recommended it. Such a beautiful story. I just finished 2 little books: A Shining by Jon Fosse (Nobel Prize 2023) and Cheese by Willem Elsschot, a Flemish author. An old book but still so relevant today. Curious what you think. Have you already read a Flemish book?
I don’t have a top 10 of summer books, but here is my top ten in general: 1. The Lives and Loves of a She-Devil - Fay Weldon 2. Americanah - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 3. The summer book - Tove Jansson 4. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Patrick Süskind 5. Circe - Madeleine Miller 6. A Time on Earth - Vilhelm Moberg 7. The Artificial Silk Girl - Irmgard Keun 9. Death and the Penguin - Andrey Kurkov 10. Darling River - Sara Stridsberg

Tove Janssons Summerbook! The Mood on that Island is Full of play, joy and melancholy.

Lady Susan has been on my list. Most of what you read is very different from my taste, but I loved learning about these books.
1. the master of souls - irène nemirovski
2. zeros and ones - sadie plant
3. between two fires - christopher buehlman
you introduced me to banana yoshimoto in one of your older videos and now i always look forward to your new book videos, tack så mycket!
I'm in Australia - It's miserable winter here and I'm dreaming of summer!! Will definitely give these a go.
I just read “A Young Man”, my first Annie Ernaux experience. Wow, what a read! Thank you for that reccomendation.
The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver, I just finished rereading it, fantastic , again ☺️
Ooooh I love those recommendations! I can’t wait for The Anthropologist to be published, eagerly waiting for my copy!

Thanks Jenny Mustard!
Thank you so much Jenny!
I needed some new recommendations for my London vacation :D
I read Bonjour Tristesse because you recommended it a couple years ago, and now it’s one of my all time favourites!
it's soooo good :)
Thank you Jenny! For me, I'd say :
- The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann
- The Witch of the West is dead, Nashiki Kaho (very sweet!)
- Green Wheat, Colette (French one, you'd like that one I'm sure :))
- Froth on the Daydream, Boris Vian (same!)
I'm sold on Katherine Mansfield, thank you!
Hope you enjoy it!
I recommend you Scaffolding! I’m pretty sure that you will adore it. Especially if you want that Parisian atmosphere. It was sharp, sexy and gorgeous!
Best summer book for me: call me by your name, and the mythology books from madeline miller 🌞
Every summer I feel a sudden and very strong urge to read Balzac. No idea why. So I tend to read Balzac every year.
Also Faulkner and his descriptions of the heavy summer heat is always good.
Hi Jenny! Great set of books! I do have a recommendation, not sure if it fits with summer, but a marvelous book for sure - “Death with Interruptions” by José Saramago. Hoping you give it a shot! José Saramago is one of the best authors Portugal has ever seen 😊
Island of the Blue Dolphins is my top summer read ❤ and for winter, The Giver
Looking forward for your new book, babe❤
Very good analysis of interesting books, thank you!

My summer reads would be:
Okay Days (seriously I loved loved it)
Call me by your name (amaizing)
probably Conversations with Friends
Margueritte Duras Little Horses of Tarquinia (very similar vibes to Bonjour Tristesse I think),
