I can understand why Dune does not resonate with today’s reader. It was first published in 1965, and gender norms have evolved over the last 50+ years, for the better. I personally stopped reading Sci-fi and fantasy for about 20 years. When I returned to the genre last year, I found it fascinating to see the shift in gender norms, sexuality and world views. I am unsure how I would rate Dune today; and that’s OK.
How did you take the decision to go through surgery? I also have a movie recommendation for you: it's called "the cube". It's at Canadian sci-fi movie from the 90s about the group of people stack inside a cube trying to get out
I finally took the leap and read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I don't read too much sci-fi, and I've never read a book by him before, so I picked it up from my library purely based on your recommendation. It was AMAZING!!! I loved every second of it, and I cannot wait for the sequel!!
No clue how far apart this and your part 2 surgery video was filmed, but have to say your swelling has already gone down quite a bit since your surgery video. So happy your recovery is going well! ❤️ Also can't wait for your A Little Life review!
I had a feeling you were going to dislike Dune. You and my husband have super similar fantasy/sci-fi reading tastes and he couldn’t stand it. I had to look up to see if Daisy Jones and the Six were real. It was driving me crazy. 😂
I' m so glad to see you back, you look great! I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy Dune! :( I have so many fond memories from my childhood reading that book series and also watching the movie and the tv series! I still recommend you to watch the upcoming movie adaptation as I think it will be visually beautiful and I think that maybe it would translate better for you that way :)
Yes! So glad you're back here and posting new videos, really missed you and your vids :) I hope your recovery is going well and that you'll feel better soon!
I am surprised how much different you look after surgery. You were gorgeous then and guess what? Still totally gorgeous. I know that doesn't matter but I still wanted to tell you ❤❤❤. So glad to see you back in action.
I loved watching your latest videos (and all the videos before), because you‘re sending out a really positive and happy vibe, even after surgery- I hope you‘re doing well and have a speedy recovery!! ♥️
Books and Pieces is doing a read along group with The Sparrow this month. I had someone else recommend it to me like a week before that as well. Will have to bump it to the top of my list!
“Skip the first chapter in the first book” what?? Absolutely not! The first chapter of Nevernight is one of the best first chapters I’ve ever read and sets the tone for the whole book SO well. Her 2 first times. I love it 😄👏🏼
Agree with you totally about "The Sparrow". I read it about 4 years ago and I still remember it vividly. Excellent Sci fi even if you are not into it. Hope you are doing well. Surgery is always hard. Glad to see you back beautiful as ever
I actually really like the first chapter of Nevernight😅 Like yes, it's weird, but I just love the way Jay showed the dual loss of virginity. Of body and soul. Like how you lose one through sex and the other because of your first murder.
I like from worst to best, and in the order you've finished them. Like salty Emily to start of GOOD and then exciting recommendations at the end. And I'm less likely to forget them if the best books were the last you mentioned instead of the first 🤔
"Spin" is one of my favourite books. So much so I've not read the sequels just in case they don't live up to it! I prefer if you do the books in order instead of rating.
You summarized my feelings about Dune perfectly, especially the bit about a boy surpassing the generations of women. Our tastes in books match better than I thought. I'm going to put every book that you recommend on my TBR list from now on ;)
I really want to read The Sparrow. It sounds intriguing! I’m about to binge the Nevernight trilogy I’ve just been waiting for Darkdawn to come out and now it’s finally here! So glad you’re back.
You did super well for June! I loved Daisy Jones and the Six and I agree with you 100% about it being so much more developed if the story had continued. Exhalation and Radio Silence on on my tbr for the library later list and I will have to add sparrow to that list! I would prefer you to mention the books in the order you read them but again its up to you its your channel! Be kind to yourself and ease back in I am just happy to have content!
I've been trying to check out more classic science fiction books lately because I've always been interested but intimidated but your videos have been inspiring me to give them a try anyway! I was definitely scared even more though because one of the first books I read was The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin which is NOT beginner friendly, but recently I read The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney and it's so incredibly pulpy and ridiculous that I can't get over the fact that it even got published, let alone that it's a classic. I kid you not, when the book introduces the love interest the narrator in all seriousness describes her as a having a "fine, beautifully fleshed skeleton." On the upside I find classic science fiction much less intimidating now. Anyway, I'm glad your making new videos! I'm looking forward to more science fiction and other book reviews! Congratulations on a good recovery!
So glad to have you back here on this channel too Em! 🥰 I have Radio Silence as an audiobook so I guess I should bump that one up on my reading list! 🙂
So glad that you're back, I love your videos! Hope you're feeling better after your surgery, I'm sure we can all be patient while you learn to speak words again (you gave trustworthy a valiant effort 😂) ❤️
So glad you are back! ❤️ Couldn't wait to hear your thoughts on all the books you read while you recovered! I also didn't like Dune that much. I just got Darkdawn in the mail today & can't wait to read it!! (Finishing Morning Star first though- I really hope you continue the Red Rising trillogy!)
Yesssss I compared baby teeth to the orphan too!!!!!! I hated baby teeth I’m glad I’m not the only one who was in the minority!! This was so damn hyped 😬 the thumbtack scene though was worth reading it 😂😂
I saw you picked up the 2nd and 3rd books in the Shannara series in a recent book haul. I just finished that trilogy so I'd be interested to know what you think of them. I thought they were a fun read. I do recommend skipping the very first book, The Sword of Shannara, and starting with the second book, The Elfstones of Shannara.
Since you read Daisy Jones & The Six I finally get to vent a little about it! One thing that no one seems to have noticed (at least not in the reviews I've seen) is that Daisy was pretty much a Mary Sue character with a drug problem. Because of her addiction I think people didn't want to see her that way but other than being described as beautiful and having perfect hair and a singing voice that she never had to work on to improve she was also said to never wear shoes, walking around on the LA Strip with NO SHOES on. That was so goofy. And at the end where Camila went to talk to her was written so unrealistically I laughed out loud. I think the interview format was great and the story was pretty original and kept my interest but there were things in it that kept it from being a better book. There was so much focus on the female characters that the men might as well have been cardboard cutouts so there was an imbalance there. Too much time spent on virtue signaling that could have been spent making the story longer, which I know your complant was that the book was too short. So not the masterpiece other channels are claiming it is, just a good book that could have been better.
I read Daisy Jones and the Six too and first I started the actual book but I just couldn't get into it (and I was majorly hyped and looking forward to it) but then I switched to audiobook and I liked it! Like you said it was too short. I found the story lacking. I really wanted to love it like her last book but it was just "good" not great. I'm having trouble getting into Nevernight. I've only struggled through the first chapter. Should I keep going or do you think it would be a good audiobook??
I didn't try the audiobook but let me tell you... the first chapter is weeeeeird. Things pick up fast after that. The footnotes take a little while to get used to (you could skip them but I ended up really liking them!) but it's all worth it!
I hope you're recovery is going well! Personally I like when you review the books in the order you read them. Also congrats on getting through the Fred Rogers book...the first few chapters were way too dry for me (not sure pages on pages about the economic and social history of Latrobe, Pennsylvania was necessary haha). I ended up giving it back to the library and I plan on watching the documentary instead!
I just read Exhalation last month! I had seen you recommend it on Goodreads and got it from my library. It was really good! I wasn't into the first story, but most of the others were great
My dad has tried so many times to get me to read Dune and I can't. Every time it gets to the meeting about the spice I just want to be dead. Totally agree about Jessica's name too.
Dune is a book that requires at least two rereads. And Dune is a book that was written in the mid 60s, and it's probably the most feminine sci-fi book you'll find of that era, written by a man. Paul wasn't born to be more powerful than all the women. A man was required to be born because they needed the male perspective in order to learn everything, the history of the world. I can understand why you'd missed the point since it's a book that requires exclusive attention and patient reading. It's sad really, cause this series will take you places you've never been before if you give it the chance. I hope your future sci-fi reads are more to your taste!
Do you feel that Spin can be read as a stand-alone book? Or do you have to read the sequels? Just curious...it sounds like a cool story, but I’m not up for starting a new series right now! Great video and glad your back 🤗
If you really want to read more character driven scifi, I'd recommend Ursula K. Le Guin's books, especially The Word for World is Forest and The Telling.
I loved The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and was so excited to read Daisy Jones & The Six but my reaction was the same as yours! I have written exactly the same thing you said in my review of it! I also think it lacked more substance. I wanted more. Evelyn Hugo is way better!
Oh wow! Great vid Emily. Im so with you with Dune and The Sparrow. I found Dune just a bit er ..bland. Its style was a bit dry and distant. The Sparrow was powerful and effecting. Beautiful, yet.... i won't say anything else. Lol
Aw you struggling to say “trustworthy” 🥺 I managed to find Dune in a charity shop for $1. I don’t think I’ll love it but I think I’ll appreciate at it (does that make sense? 😅) SO GLAD YOU LOVED GODSGRAVE! I just finished Darkdawn....🤘🏻 I still need to read Radio Silence. I feel like I’m the last person to read it 🙈 Ahh I’ve missed your reviews and recommendations, so glad that your back!! ♥️♥️✨
Interested in sparrow, but is it preachy? I don’t like organized religion and faith discussions in general but the premise sounded interesting. Do let me know
Oh no don’t worry. I’m not religious whatsoever so i wouldn’t have liked it if it had been. It’s just an interesting twist on the first contact trope. For once the religious group isn’t wanting the aliens dead lol
Do the books in any order ye like.. will watch every video all the way through anyway. 😬 Recommendation for another sci-fi : Rejoice by Steven Erikson . It's great, and everything that man writes is a must buy for me 😳
Hi Emily! Two (award-winning Fantasy) book recommendations, as I've been watching your vids for a while now: The Curse of Chalion, Lois McMaster Bujold Perdido Street Station, China Mieville :)
I didn't care for Dune either. Thought it got super stupid when the dude started riding the worms. Had never heard of The Sparrow or Spin but they're on my radar now.
I'm happy to officially announce Book Emily is now able to pronounce "trustworthy"... only took 2 weeks :)
I'm sorry, but i laughed so loud at that part! ahahaha
The struggle was real but so so adorable!!!!
You're the best! It remind me of my maxilofaciale, you're doing exactly the same thing I was doing. (ex: tu parles un peu en cul de poule a cause de la salive, j'imagine? :P)
I prefer having the books in the order you've finished them
Good! It makes it easier to not forget any lol
Yeeess i prefer the wrap up you talk about the books in the order you read them.

Dang Emily, 10 books! Share that reading power won’t you?!
I definitely like the way you go over books in the order you read them.
Planning a Q&A soon... LEAVE ME SOME QUESTIONS :)
How much longer will we have to wait for Snowglobe Emily?
How did you take the decision to go through surgery?
I also have a movie recommendation for you: it's called "the cube". It's at Canadian sci-fi movie from the 90s about the group of people stack inside a cube trying to get out
When will you start to read Colleen Hoover?
P.S. i loved "Confess" and "It ends with us"
How is your health now?
Tips for college?
I finally took the leap and read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I don't read too much sci-fi, and I've never read a book by him before, so I picked it up from my library purely based on your recommendation. It was AMAZING!!! I loved every second of it, and I cannot wait for the sequel!!
Yay!! It's so nice to only have to wait a few more weeks/months for the next one too :D
@@BookswithEmilyFox YAS!!!!!

Great to see you back. I missed your reviews! I love how much SciFi you read. I really want to check out Spin.
Wonderful to have you back! Your goodreads updates have had me so excited for reviews 👏🏻💜

I’m sooo glad you’re back!!! I missed you and your amazing opinions on my favorite genre: sci-if!

Hello again 💙 so you’ve already read darkdawn? 😍 Lucky one, I’m so excited but I think I’ll wait for the german version coming out January 2020 😅
At least you have a German date! Where's my Polish translation 😭😭
While watching this I have goodreads and book depository open, I love finding new Sci Fi books to try. The Sparrow and Spin sound great!
You summarized my feelings about Dune perfectly, especially the bit about a boy surpassing the generations of women. Our tastes in books match better than I thought. I'm going to put every book that you recommend on my TBR list from now on ;)
I finished the nevernight chronicle like a month ago and AH! everyone really needs to read those books. They are SUPERIOR

I get the whole Jessica thing, I was like that with Bianca in children of time 😂 (which I loved but couldn't help but laugh every time I heard Bianca)
So glad that you're back, I love your videos! Hope you're feeling better after your surgery, I'm sure we can all be patient while you learn to speak words again (you gave trustworthy a valiant effort 😂) ❤️
I'm so happy to see you back!!! I missed your recommendations (specially scifi) a lot! hope you're having a good recovery
So glad your back🤗. The Sparrow still affects me. That book hit me so hard.
Yesss you're definitely back!!
I am sad to hear you didn’t enjoy Dune.
It’s one of my favorites.
I also which I had that edition 😭 . It’s beautiful!
Glad you're healing well. I like doing worst to best books instead of when you read them.

I couldn’t finish Dune. And OMG the Jessica thing 😑 so many names to choose from or invent! Jessica 😒
Wow! The Sparrow sounds amazing! I'll read it for sure!
Happy to see you’re okay.
And I like you to talk about The books you read in reading order.
Love love love that you are back and look so well ❤️
You don't know how happy I am that you're back!
I'm so happy you're okay and you're back! You look extra pretty! ❤
I just put a hold for Spin with my library, it sounds super intriguing, as does The Sparrow!
Hope your recovery continues going well!

Questions for your Q&A. How tall are you? Tell us about high school. Good student, cheerleader, sports, did you belong to any clubs??

I own nevernight and godsgrave and have yet to read either....faillll 🤦🏻♀️
Do you feel that Spin can be read as a stand-alone book? Or do you have to read the sequels? Just curious...it sounds like a cool story, but I’m not up for starting a new series right now! Great video and glad your back 🤗
Absolutely! That’s what I’m planning on doing because the reviews are so so for the rest and I don’t want to ruin it for myself lol
So please your on the mend! X
wishing you a fast recovery
If you really want to read more character driven scifi, I'd recommend Ursula K. Le Guin's books, especially The Word for World is Forest and The Telling.
I loved The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and was so excited to read Daisy Jones & The Six but my reaction was the same as yours! I have written exactly the same thing you said in my review of it! I also think it lacked more substance. I wanted more. Evelyn Hugo is way better!
You look so different!
Oh wow! Great vid Emily. Im so with you with Dune and The Sparrow. I found Dune just a bit er ..bland. Its style was a bit dry and distant. The Sparrow was powerful and effecting. Beautiful, yet.... i won't say anything else. Lol
Aw you struggling to say “trustworthy” 🥺
I managed to find Dune in a charity shop for $1. I don’t think I’ll love it but I think I’ll appreciate at it (does that make sense? 😅)
SO GLAD YOU LOVED GODSGRAVE! I just finished Darkdawn....🤘🏻
I still need to read Radio Silence. I feel like I’m the last person to read it 🙈
Ahh I’ve missed your reviews and recommendations, so glad that your back!! ♥️♥️✨
Congratulations - trustworthy is a hard word to pronounce ;)
Was "trustworthy" hard before surgery with your accent anyways? LOL adorable ❤
I love your smile more now 😁
Spin sounds so interesting! This may be a bit of a spoiler, but I noticed that it's a series so I'm wondering if the time issue is solved in book 1.
I've just read 2 books in the whole month💔 how can I get back the book passion?
Interested in sparrow, but is it preachy? I don’t like organized religion and faith discussions in general but the premise sounded interesting. Do let me know
Oh no don’t worry. I’m not religious whatsoever so i wouldn’t have liked it if it had been. It’s just an interesting twist on the first contact trope. For once the religious group isn’t wanting the aliens dead lol
@@BookswithEmilyFox omg you replied to my comment hahaha slight fangirling here.
awesome! Definitely on my TBR now
The Book of Strange New Things is sci-fi/dystopian kind of first contact and also has a man struggling with his faith if you want to give it a shot
Do the books in any order ye like.. will watch every video all the way through anyway. 😬
Recommendation for another sci-fi : Rejoice by Steven Erikson . It's great, and everything that man writes is a must buy for me 😳
I'm honestly baffled that you look so different now after your surgery. I'm like "Are you sure you're the real Emily Fox?" Lol
I'm VERY swollen and stiff still lol Plus my teeth aren't where they will be once I get braces... In a few months I will barely look different!
❤ Missed you!
My dad said I should read dune at least 3 times before I judge it.... I am a re-reader (and he isn’t) but still...
That does sound like a dad thing to say lol
But I'm not gonna reread that book... ever!
I want to read some sci fi but don’t know where to start? Any recommendations?
:) ua-cam.com/video/l8UPAUkQIPI/v-deo.html
Thank you!!!
Hi Emily! Two (award-winning Fantasy) book recommendations, as I've been watching your vids for a while now:
The Curse of Chalion, Lois McMaster Bujold
Perdido Street Station, China Mieville
:)
I want a whole video of you saying trustworthy again and again
I like going in the order of hate to love. Books u hate then the ones u love. Save the best for last.
🖤🖤💕
I didn't care for Dune either. Thought it got super stupid when the dude started riding the worms. Had never heard of The Sparrow or Spin but they're on my radar now.
