the sudden appearance of the squirrel is my favorite part
came to the comment section for this
Squirrels don't have stripes on their tails, neither the gray ones nor the black ones. That's a chipmunk. 🐿️ Maybe due to her _Jekyll and Hyde_ reference to _Alvin and the Chipmunks._ And it's brown. Where did you ever see a brown squirrel?
@@floogelhornzzz4770 wow I’ve never seen someone get so worked up over squirrels😂 I’m glad there’s someone out there defending their honor.
@@blochhead6793: Chipmunks.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 You do you guy
Emma trying to act like a seductive vampire and breaking character every third second is giving me life. It's so endearing lol
I will never get over how you describe and present books… so good, so inviting… so compelling.. just wow 🙌
at this point i’d be worried if emma didn’t mention phantom of the opera in some way in these videos
also vampire emma is cool as hell
Love the Deaner pfp.
“Carmilla” is another gothic novella that’s good to read during this season. It was written in 1872, it’s about a female vampire🧛♀️
Carmilla is great, I read it every Halloween.
Perfume is a mind blowing book. So unique. Definitely a book for the dark months.
I couldn't even finish it because it creeped me out so much and I don't really get scared when reading...so, that's saying something!! LOL
The only book that has ever made me gag
my goal for 2022 is to start a booktube channel (i’m a writer and avid reader) and I find this channel so inspiring. this is the vibe I want, this is the mood I want, and I can only
hope I can be even close to as well spoken as you are. you brilliant woman. love you!
Wow! All the best and if you do please let us know I would love to watch!
Omg, Good luck!!!! :D
@@maanya__742 omg thank you! see that’s why I love this community we’re all just nice people who like to read lol
Good luck 🍀👍🏻
Go ahead
This intro is absolutely incredible 😂
The only book that has ever truly terrified me was The Shining, but the Woman in Black definitely made me very uncomfy 😅
Try _Ghost Story_ by Peter Straub.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 thanks for the recommendation!!
the into killed me omg
THE OUTFIT you are quite literally killing the game emma
may I give a recommendation too: The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Doyle. I reckon the Sherlock Holmes series is pretty well known, but, if you haven't picked up this specific one, I highly recommend you to do so in this spooky season! it has the mist, the woods and a haunted moor = all of the best.
thanks for all these lovely recommendations, Emma! wishing you a happy October and a wonderful reading month!
I can't agree more!!!
Yes, it's my favorite one of the four original novels!
@@maanya__742 mine too! ♡
I read that when I was in high school. I loved it.
Your entrance..the tone when talking about your salad...putting the necklace on...so good...I'm giggling ❤
this came at the right time, been needing some good spooky reads to commit to this month! gothic, spooky literature is just THE BEST and the vibes in this video make me so happy.
your intro is gold , and thank you for all the great content. also we need more vampire Emma .
thank youuu i’m trying to read more horror books right now
You’re the best Emma at recommending all kinds of books 🖤
ooh, I'd definitely recommend A Lesson in Vengeance ... I mean, sapphic, witchy, gothic, dark academia - what else do you need?🖤✨
Marina is incredible, actually they discover something in the graveyard and don't get onto the coach until the end of the book
idk if youve already talked about Shirley jackson's "haunting of hill house". It's a MUST during this season. The plot is ok, the signification is existential and depressing, the writting is exquisite. ive read alot of goths before, but this woman got a total uncanny and unforgettable approach.
just started a few days ago
😂 'I don't wanna die like this' 🤣
Delicious intro 😋
I want that cape 😵
Ps I loved perfume! They also made a pretty good movie adaptation in English!
I love how this is a chill chat where we can just vibe to it and listen to it like a podcast !
The way I instantly ordered Marina after hearing your description about it without even reading the synopsis... I trust your recommendations more than I trust myself 😫😫😫
I'm so glad you found Fernanda Melchor!! Hurricane Season is one of my favorites for this year!
the cape is so cute
I love this video. So many of us await your daytime videos; I never knew how awesome it would feel to see a new upload after the sun has set (where applicable in certain time zones).
Great selection, Emmie!
If you're open to Manga horror, I highly recommend anything by Junji Ito. His art is fantastic, and his short stories horrifying. I especially enjoyed his book 'Uzumaki', which is about a small Japanese town which is suddenly haunted by spiral shapes appearing in odd places & hypnotizing the residents.
Sounds odd I know, lol, but it's a real creeper of a book!
emma, I was missing your video this morning, I'm glad you updated before this Sunday ends ♥.
Love that you had some of the classics in here. Also I keep hearing about the Iliac crest, gonna have to finally just read it!
Your taste in horror books has influenced me so much
14:36 AHHHH YOU JUST BROUGHT BACK THIS MEMORY I WATCHED THAT SO MUCH
I have the Penguin Classics edition of The Monk and I plan on reading it soon. I have more spoopy books on my TBR that I can't wait to read. I take a lot of my classic books recommendations from you.
"Spoopy." 😀
ive been waiting for this one from you!! always the best recs
* immediately throws out my entire tbr and replace it with these recommendations * love this channel to death
Whenever I click on one of Emmie's videos I also have to open a tab with my storygraph/goodreads to start adding to my shelves all the brilliant recs she gives in her videos 😂❤
I just finished the two books I was reading yesterday and I was debating myself what to read next, but you have convinced me, it's time to pick up Phantom of the opera 😊
The Monk is still my favourite book at the moment, what a story! Glad to see it mentioned here. :)
I'm currently waiting for Melmoth the Wanderer to arrive on my doorstep. Can't wait to plough my way through that book.
My native tongue is Spanish and I’m so excited you recommended books by Hispanic authors!! I’ll definitely check them out
Yesterday was very bad for me... This would comfort me a lot, thank you! And you are looking so beautiful 💛💛🍁
The first book you mentioned by Oyeyemi really put me in mind of Daisy Johnson's short story collection "Fen" which also contains a house which swallows people. Daisy Johnson is one of my favourite writers - if you like dark twistedness and beautiful prose I really recommend. And I gotta say, The Woman in Black is PEAK halloween reading for me! This year though I'm reading one of Hill's other short stories, "The Small Hand". Thanks for sharing your recs with us, I always end up adding loads to my TBR when I watch your videos :)
Lovely spooky video Emma ♥️ definitely going to pick up some of those ! I was spoiled the ending of the maidens so I didn't want to pick it up , but I've been wondering if it might be interesting to read and see if it holds up even if i already know the plot !! Have a good week 🥰
the humor of this channel is so goofy and so well sprinkled in 😂😂
I love that cape. It's so sophisticated looking. You could walk into a gothic haunted castle with that on ,and you'd fit right in.
Also is that a chipmunk plushie? I haven't seen that one before. It's so cute! Perfect for fall too.
Thanks Emmie! I love October and the books you presented.
I ordered perfume for my birthday and you just made me 150% more excited for it
your voice is so soothing, i listen to you while studying 🥰
I'm reading David Mitchell in publication order, and Slade House is next. You just gave me the right motivation to pick it up.
I really liked Perfume, read it many years ago. Thanks for the other recommendations.
That's what i always think: one of the best things here is the meticulous creation of the atmosphere.
Pure art 😂👏👏👏
Ahhhh, qué emoción. Estaba esperando por algo así.
Yes, we had to read "Perfume" or " Das Parfüm" in school (in Germany)!! It was really mindblowing 🤯
LOVE all your videos !!!...You are AWESOME !!..Im into books now because of you and Carolynreads...YAHOOOOOOOOOO
Mervyn Peake is fantastic! Glad you're going to read Titus Groan :-)
Peake's writing reminds me a lot of Dickens....very odd, very witty, charming, horrifying, eloquent, with an assortment of odd-ball characters you'll just love!
That intro was iconic ✨
Your coffin ring is SO COOL
That intro was wonderful, loved the squirrel
oooh! I'm about 70 pages into Marina so far and its so atmospheric!
what a fantastic video! so vibey and helpful x
Perfume is on my tbr and I'm due a reread of Phantom of the Opera, would love to seee a video on retellings of the Phantom!!
Jekill and Hyde is the best book of this list that I've ever read. Cool costume and introduction, Saludos!
I haven't had any chance to watch any of your video since this video. But on the bright side now I've 14 of your videos to binge watch.
Emma, you look fabulous! Love the recommendations! 👻❤️
SPOOKY SEASON BEST SEASON!!! THANK YOU EMMA
So I've seen this video and got myself the kindle copy of Marina.. it's nothing like described by you, HOWEVER I absolutely adored it. It's such a great, incredible heartbreaking book that is perfect for autumn. Please read it and do a review
Hurricane season is fantastic! It's actually very easy to read in terms of writing but difficult to stomach.
2nd time watching,
and that squirrel teleportation still scared the sith out of me
this is great, I needed a list of horror books🎃
The Monk is CRAZY. Loved it. Highly recommended for gothic Lit fans!!
The best tip for books... Definitely! \m/
I love the tone of her voice just realized it reminded me a bit of Dakota Johnson ❤ love you channel Emma❤ you made me fall back in love with reading !!!!
So true! There's something about her face as well that reminds me of Dakota Johnson.
Speaking of DJ, watched the Suspiria remake recently and it was such a good witchy pick for Halloween
I love the intro. Nice costume Emma. I just finished reading the Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides and about to start reading the Iliad crest by Cristina Rivera Garza. Thanks for the book recommendations
I've heard so many people talk about The Ex Hex, I need to read it already!
As Spanish classic literature doesn't normally reach booktube, I recommend "Rimas y leyendas" (Rhymes and legends) by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. Specially the legends are SO good for halloween mood.
def wanna check that out as ive been wanting more books to read in spanish
this was such a delight to watch
Looking forward to trying all these reads.
Edit: Emmie liked my comment, yay!
That is an accurate reenactment of me throwing *Titus Groan* into your P.O. Box. XD I'll also always shill Maskerade by Terry Pratchett as the best Phantom retelling.
I found Phantom of the Opera for $3 at a Friends of the Library book sale yesterday, so I snapped it up. :D I'm excited to give it a go. I also just finished Bunny by Mona Awad to begin my Spooky Season reads- it was so very weird and intense.
Patrick Susskind's Perfume is incredible. It stayed with me a long time after I had finished reading it.
Marina is one of my favorite books, story is creepy and engaging. i also recommend his other book the prince of mist. it's about a boy who moves with his family to a beach town during the war and gets wrapped up in the history of the house and a strange garden of statues that seems to be covered in mist
i'm hoping to read the phantom of the opera this autumn!!!
hope you like marina hehhe
My favourite book for this time of the year is "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells, I think it is so spooky and brilliant at the same time!
okay i'm so interested in reading white is for witching mainly because when i was young and getting books from the children's section of the library i read another book by helen oyeyemi and i don't remember the title (also i read it translated in my language) but i do remember being freaked out by it and loving it at the same time and it's stuck with me since then in a good way!
Slade house was great, it was chilling in some parts. I was reading it next to my fiance and he leaned to say something to me and i jumped. The book made me jump to something so normal. It only shows how chilling it is. Love it. ❤️❤️❤️
Love the cape
The writing style in Hurricane Season is made to feel more claustrophobic than anything. You start reading, and Fernanda won't let you stop to take a break. It really throws you in, and I think anyone (maybe not those who are squeamish) could easily get into it.
‘You can’t snort this baby’ 😂😂
Marina is amazing, one of my favorite books. So loved! I hope to hear what you think about it!
I’m definitely in the one-star Maidens camp. That book was the worst thing I’ve read this year. Just so surface level and contrived.
ur thumbnails amaze me everytime
Dear lord what a gorgeous outfit!
Blessed by emmie videos
It’s the coffin ring for me 💀⚰️
Wow i'm early... and now i want that cape😔❤
Looking forward to Thus Were Their Faces!I'll have to put The Iliac Crest on the list(over and above Untold Night And Day?).Yes I loved your foreword:you managed to squeeze in Dante😃.Last but not least you should,if you are not already aware,check out the songs Wuthering Heights and The Fog by Kate Bush❤️
One of my favorite booktubers.
can’t wait to read these
Outfit: fabulous 🔥
Books: magical ✨
Vibes: spooky 👻
i got the ex hex for my BOTM! i’m looking for more of a cozy-spooky and i hope it is 😅
I have recommended this already but incase you didn't see it "The Wish Collector" by Mia Sheridan. It is a sort of the phantom of the Opera retelling. 🧡🧡 loved the intro.
I have a new favorite vampire 😁. Hurricane Season actually gets pretty readable... if you don't mind the subject matter a lot of it takes. I burned through it.
A great, campy CW-style Phantom of the Opera retelling is Roseblood by A.G Howard; it is a loose one but I had a fun time reading it!
maskerade by terry pratchett is inspired by phantom of the opera plus it has witches so definitely appropriate for spooky season
I read White is for Witching at uni. Really good. I think the author was pretty young when she wrote it as well.
