Eevee is the sweetest girl, helping in the garden. She's the goodest dog. You bought a cat stroller...I feel this so much. You are officially cat-mom status
The university and hometown are truly giving off the same vibes as the old videos; it is so nostalgic. And the long vlogs have been missed! Thank you for bringing them back.🤎🤎🤎🤎
I love the cat stroller! Not just for calcifer but for your cat that has the wobbles! If she's having an off day or you want to bring her out she will be way safer and be able to enjoy the fresh air too! 💗
Hey emmie I am not sure if you will actually see this but i wanted to say it anyway I’m in my senior year in highschool and for the entirety of my life i thought i would get into a stem major, and thats what everyone thought too looking at my grades. But for some reason 3 months before university applications started I became very unsure of what i wanted and who i was. While i was on my journey of exploring myself and what interests me i came across your channel, and you along many other book youtubers encouraged me to apply for an English major which really was unexpected to those around me as well as myself, i was shocked. I finalized my application recently and i ended up applying for an Enlglish Linguistics major, hopefully I’ll be able to continue into translation field too. I do wonder if i made the wrong decision of going into something entirely different than what i expected myself to get into, but right now while i was watching your video, it was a kind of a reassurace. I know it wouldnt be easy but hopefully I’ll be able to fall in love with it just like you are. Thank you so much emmie, you did change my life, and I’m sure many others as well ❤
I wish I had gotten to Emma's channel sooner. I did end up majoring in STEM and I hate it. I realized that perhaps I am better suited to linguistics of some form a little too late because I am already in my fourth year of this uni course. I am determined to find a work around through maybe a research career in academia until I finally get a career in the literary field because life is too short to be unhappy while fulfilling other people's expectations. So happy for you that you found yourself sooner. Wishing you the absolute best!!
Okay this is amazing!! Thank you for this comment, absolutely made my day and I’m so happy and excited for you:’) I know it’s not easy - I wasn’t exactly planning on going into Lit either but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Wishing you all the best and cannot wait to hear your updates 💙
I double major in linguistics and STEM, and both are the love of my life. But I wouldn't do STEM just for grade reasons. Good luck in linguistics, languages form who we are as humans!
i studied linguistics at uni too!! after two and a half years of struggling though a stem major i stumbled into a linguistics class and realized i found a great love
@@Literary_Baddie5838 i spent so long torturing myself with science classes in uni too. i hated it and i hated every career path i was looking down. don't compromise who you are for the benefit of other's expectations. i'm manifesting a literary path for you
Lovee the longer videos it always just makes for greater connection?? I don't know but loved this video and I just wanted to mention that your apprecitation for nature and peace&quiet plus your editing never lets me down and are like a safe space for me so thank youu Emma
isnt it so interesting to feel and think about how we grow and how life changes when we find ourselves in the same places and doing the same things we’ve always done🥰 sometimes i like to watch some of her old vlogs there at her parents house (cause it’s so cozy), and it was such a nice surprise to see that the new video was the same❤️❤️
im always so happy when you upload your videos since theyre so calming!! especially as im doing my diss right now so watching your videos is relaxing for me heheh
I could just get lost in listening to your videos for hours without getting bored! Thank you for uploading. I look forward to each and every single video 😊
I've been watching this fractured for three days, and I don't know why but it's so comforting to be like a friend of Emma, i lov the little clips, the animals the nature the books... Anyway that's it ❤
A new Emma video this morning while I’m at the hospital for testing??? What did I do to deserve this? 😭❤ And it starts with Calcipher 😻 (oops, Calcifer)
@@stellasreadingagainohno oh you’re so sweet! Yes, the test is for gallbladder issues so nothing too serious. Took a few hours but it wasn’t too bad! 🥰
“Awwwwow- OOF” at that price tag was so relatable lol. Also, I’ve loved Shakespeare since I was a kid so I was prepared in high school, and the way my English teacher taught our class Romeo and Juliet I think is the only kinda proper way to teach Shakespeare to high schoolers. We listened to the play while reading along instead of just reading silently, and so many more people understood it. Then afterwards we went to a Romeo and Juliet show with an interactive Shakespeare troupe who would jump into the crowd and things; it really brought it to life and so many people in my Deep South rural class suddenly loved Shakespeare. ❤ and it was because we had a great teacher who wanted to make sure they actually understood rather than just fulfill an assignment. Blessed are the English teachers.
Yes this is the way to do it. Bring it alive in an engaging way, but still when you’re young and developing interests. I had a teacher that did that with opera for us in 9th grade, and I love opera and classical music to this day. I wish I had better literature teachers in school. I’m 60yo now and playing catch-up with literature and history.
my dear emmie, I hope this comment will not disappear in dozens of others, it may happen, but if not, I wanted to tell you something... your recording style is magical and immersive. Your knowledge and intelligence amaze me every time. Even though I know how smart and aware you are, you still remind me of it in every video. you are wonderful to listen to, you are not only smart, but also funny and sweet. your vlogs and videos mean a lot to me and I wanted to thank you for them. so just thank you emmie
All I can say is that the first two minutes of this video are really beautiful and fantastic to see you and your wonderful pets together brought a smile to me and a tear to my eye 👁️ thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ as I am battling with my mental health issues this was what I needed today so thank you love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
Haha when my library got rid of late fees I completely stopped trying to return books by their due date and just keep them for as long as I possibly can. Although my library has a policy that if you keep books for 10 days past it's due date your card is blocked and if it it's overdue for like 21 days they'll fine you the full price unless you return it.
This is so funny Emma, your reaction to Taming of the shrew is literally me when I first read it! Absolute wild read, I loved it! I adored seeing you ask the same questions I did and wonder about the same things ! love your videos
I really really needed this vlog! I have been exhausted because of dissertation and exam preparation and this video calmed me down!💜💜 Your videos are my absolute favourite Emma!💕
I saw a couple of comments from people saying Emma’s videos are inspiring them to study literature in university. I would like to say this channel is inspiring me to study or at least explore and enjoy literature in retirement! I was a STEM career person, but am now interested in literature and history as an older adult. I am loving the Game of Tomes reads, although I’m severely behind on Brothers Karamazov as well.
A wholesome video I enjoyed as always! I always get so excited to see u get out to the world even tho we know you don’t like it that much there. Send you the best vibes! I think the long vlogs are the best ❤ As a video idea, i would love to see like tips or how you manage to organize all the readings and work you do!
I really enjoyed this long vlog, I've enjoyed all your videos so far.....been binge watching them over the last couple of nights!! Thanks for your lovely videos, I've been inspired to order A Mid Summer Nights Dream....my favourite Shakespear play!! Loved your video!!xx
The frogs are so beautiful and their ponds look like they came directly from a fairy tale. I have two video requests/ideas. One is a dedicated thesis planning/writing vlog and the other is a video about books that changed you/affected you the most. That could include books that were your introduction to certain genres or books that have characters who influenced you or books that got you through hard times. I'm always interested to hear about books that came to people at pivotal times.
Happy to hear The Brothers Karamazov (The Bros) is slow going for you too! Felt out of my league a little because I'm behind, yet loving and savoring it too. I'm about where you are in this video. So, page 32, idk why but that whole page captured me. Can't wait for the vlog on this one. There is so much to say and it's only the beginning! I'm just loving GameofTomes!
Ahhh i love love love your longer vlogs!! Really looking forward to your Brotherd Karamazov Vlog!! I havent started it yet, because i decided to read it in June instead of May, so im curious to see how we both like it
My wife and I just found your channel. When you were away at your parent's house, I thought you were in Connecticut, but then in this one...we saw the Toronto Public Library. Interesting. Enjoying your views on books. We read different books, but it is always good to hear differing views and observations about books. Loved your ideas about your papers. Thanks for taking us on a journey. Really looking forward to your thoughts on The Brothers Karamazov. So, that will be one that we will be watching...when it is released. BTW, we subscribed. Thanks for sharing with us your reading journey. Till next time.
I'm with you concerning Romeo+Juliet, that movie is also one of my favourites! You could make videos where you analyse certain books more in depths, and walk us through the content of your school papers for example, talking about motifs, themes, analysing the prose via some quotes... Personally, I would find that really interesting. Your videos take me back to my literature studying days and I really enjoy that about them. When are we going to meet the new cat ???
its funny your reading all these shakespeare plays because this spring semester I took a Adaptions: Gender and Shakespeare class and boy was it fun! I loved the essays. it was a social issues genre'd class.
I had to comment and say that I get Taming of the Shrew and Turn of the Screw mixed up in my head all the time, so it made me chuckle when you mentioned that 😂 great video as always!
Ever since I first encountered the spellbinding "Playing Shakespeare" series, artfully presented by the brilliant John Barton and featuring the extraordinary talents of Patrick Stewart, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, David Suchet, and Ben Kingsley, etc I have loved Shakespeare. It was during my time at secondary school (year 8) that this transformative experience unfolded when it was introduced to me by my teacher, forever altering my perception of the Bard's works. Prior to that day, Shakespeare had failed to ignite a spark within me.
I firmly believe that the true enjoyment of Shakespeare's works necessitates the presence of a mentor, teacher, guide or someone who can ignite adoration and passion within us. Reflecting upon my own journey, had I been deprived of the inspiring teacher who kindled my love for the Bard's creations, I am certain that my current fervour and ardour would not burn as brightly.
@@abbysands9510 i am glad that you have a good reading experience journey. when i met shakespeare for the first time i was in the secondary school. since as a astudent i was known as a book nerd and classics enthusiast my teacher recommended me Macbeth from Shakespeare even though my native language isn't english. at that times i tried to read the translated version to my language too but tbh i hated it so bad i didn't try to read his work for 10 years hahahahhah now since i am better at english and i learned more and more about history about his work i am trying to read and evaluate his works from a different perspective. I don't think he will be my fav due to various reasons but cannot deny, he has beautifully precious work :) thank you for responding to my comment tho
@@abbysands9510 i also completely agree on that. i wish my teacher gave me more info about his work and historical era that i wouldn't be so biased and blaming shakespeare for being too tragedic in a way that's very far away from reality (that was my main complaint for the longest time). At least now i am enjoying his form of art in a mature way
Hey, Our degree syllabus is pretty similar Emma! We finished our Shakespearean studies last semester. Henry IV, A Midsummers Nights Dream, Macbeth and The Tempest. I love your parent's place, the surrounding there is so calming and absolutely lovely. Died seeing those flowers.
Hey Emma! I absolutely love seeing Calcifer and Eevee's friendship together, I'm so glad they get along so well! Also good luck with your thesis, as well as your assignments, I'm sure you'll ace them :)❤
cannot believe you read Lispector!! i love this book but only when you said “macabea” i realized what book you were talking about since i read it in portuguese. its silly but seeing my culture (and the one from my neighbors) being appreciated when that does not often happen makes me really emotional. (especially when its complimented by someone i respect so much like you). i guess im just trying to say thanks
It's funny that you talked about studying Romeo and Juliet in Year 10, and Hamlet in Year 12. They're same years that my high school, all the way over in Melbourne, Australia had me studying them. We also studied The Merchant of Venice in Year 8, A Midsummer Night's Dream in Year 9, and Macbeth in Year 11. For whatever reason they were a bit obsessed with Shakespeare in the late 90s-early 2000s. I enjoyed A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet at the time, and have since enjoyed a novelisation of Macbeth, the others not so much. I was wondering, is Eevee named after the Pokémon? I was recently enemy #1 of the Yarra Plenty Regional Library system, here in Melbourne because my library has the same 'no late fees' policy as yours does and a few days before Christmas I realised they wanted to charge me for the two books I'd had out since October (I honestly don't think two months overdue is long enough to call the book 'lost', but anyway I digress). Fortunately, I wasn't at the $200 level of overdue, only $42.50 to replace the two books I 'lost'. I did the same as you, immediately took them down to the return chute (although I didn't clog mine with my pile because I only had two) and then went inside to see what new treasures I might find, spent about five minutes browsing (while also allowing the computer system time to recognise the missing books were returned and unblock my account) and then went to the self-service computer (my library is all about mechanisation and human-contact free visits, if that's what the patrons want) to check out my new finds. I'll do my best to not allow that to happen again, but like you I can't guarantee it, but fortunately, as long as I don't actually lose, or irreparably destroy, a book the fine is removed pretty much immediately and the account returned to active status.
I loved seeing Calcifer and Evie (forgive me if I'm misspelling that) together. Your description of them trying to play reminds me of my cat and my mom's dog - they try to play with each other, but cats and dogs just don't know the same games. Also, as someone who takes my cat for walks (on a leash), I loved seeing Calcifer's stroller.
I would love to read your paper, Emma. I will be buying a nice copy of Hour of the Star asap because I have a devastating genetic disorder and no one ever knows what I smile through because everyone is going through something, and I choose to rise above the pain. I really needed this. ❤
I work in a small town library. When people are a few days late, I call them and ask if they want me to renew their loans. If we speak, I’ll renew it until someone reserves it. The two time renewal max can be bypassed manually by an employee and honestly, I get it. Sometimes we just need more time. We have had some patrons which we asked if they could just come in and show us they still had their volume in good condition. We just want to make sure our books are being well taken cared of 😅 We recently had a day where anyone who came or called we would get rid of their debt, asking them if they had books they had kept out of shame they could just bring back free of charge…. All the students with projects 😂😂 They felt guilty, but really we just wanted the books back. Because ultimately we want the books and have no hard feelings 😊
Calcifer in the intro❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲why is he soooooooooooooooooooooo cuteeeee????!!! It pains to see how he steals my heart away in every damn video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I totally agree with you on not reading Shakespeare in high school! I took a Shakespeare class in college last semester that focused on Romeo and Juliet and I discovered I actually love Romeo and Juliet. You never know.
Eevee is the sweetest girl, helping in the garden. She's the goodest dog.
You bought a cat stroller...I feel this so much. You are officially cat-mom status
The university and hometown are truly giving off the same vibes as the old videos; it is so nostalgic.
And the long vlogs have been missed! Thank you for bringing them back.🤎🤎🤎🤎
It's so nice to see you happy!
you guys are so kind💙
loved when Evee helped out with the yard work 😭
she deserves a raise for sure!
That was just adorable 😍
A new 50 minute vlog in the middle of the week? We have been blessed! 🥰💛
💙💙💙
no because your vlogs are literally my favorite thing on this app 🫶🏻
fr. 😍
Thank you so much lovely 🥲
I love the cat stroller! Not just for calcifer but for your cat that has the wobbles! If she's having an off day or you want to bring her out she will be way safer and be able to enjoy the fresh air too! 💗

Beautiful images of the countryside, the relationship between Eeviee and Calcifer, books, Shakespeare... Thanks, Emma! ❤🐶🐱📚

Yesss finished it a few months ago but still need to talk about it (or at least hear someone else )

Hi, Emma. I would love to see a “Day in the Life of Calcifer” video. I love all of your content, but I am obsessed with that orange floof! 🥰
haha this is an amazing idea!!
Petition to put a tiny cam on cal
im always so happy when you upload your videos since theyre so calming!! especially as im doing my diss right now so watching your videos is relaxing for me heheh
Ah so glad, hope it’s going well for you!! And that you get some well deserved rest😊
I could just get lost in listening to your videos for hours without getting bored!
Thank you for uploading.
I look forward to each and every single video 😊
9:00 - There's a fantasy author, Gayle Greeno, that has a series on cats as heroes in fantasy. This illustrator also did her covers.

You are the peak of my week, Emma🤍🤍 every week that is! Lovely to see you back home, hihi (missing it with you)

hope that everything is okay!

The best reviews, softest voice, and cutest haircut of any BookTuber.
Been having such a bad day honestly love being here every video I feel at peace 🥹🐢
I just love these longer videos. I don't watch it all in one go, but rather throughout the day, and it's a wonderful thing to look forward to ❤

such a beautiful video, made me want to enjoy nature more 🤍
A couple of minutes into this and already feeling relaxed just watching it 💜
I had no idea you played games, I 100% recommend disco elysium. Sick dystopian world and the entire game revolves around story and dialogue!
My suggestions will always be vlogs (especially the long ones), they’re my favorite! I’ve been following you for years now and I miss them ❤

pouring maple syrup into coffee is the most canadian thing ive ever seen
Love a long emmie vlog!
A wholesome video I enjoyed as always! I always get so excited to see u get out to the world even tho we know you don’t like it that much there. Send you the best vibes! I think the long vlogs are the best ❤
As a video idea, i would love to see like tips or how you manage to organize all the readings and work you do!
Eevee such a good pet!!! Aaaaah!!! I was melting just by watching Eevee with Calcipher, like I exploded
calcifer, the cutest !!♡
7:30 Looks like such a nice, relaxing place to read!☀️👌🏽Thanks for sharing Emma!
I really enjoyed this long vlog, I've enjoyed all your videos so far.....been binge watching them over the last couple of nights!! Thanks for your lovely videos, I've been inspired to order A Mid Summer Nights Dream....my favourite Shakespear play!! Loved your video!!xx
The frogs are so beautiful and their ponds look like they came directly from a fairy tale.
I have two video requests/ideas. One is a dedicated thesis planning/writing vlog and the other is a video about books that changed you/affected you the most. That could include books that were your introduction to certain genres or books that have characters who influenced you or books that got you through hard times. I'm always interested to hear about books that came to people at pivotal times.

So, page 32, idk why but that whole page captured me.
Can't wait for the vlog on this one. There is so much to say and it's only the beginning!
I'm just loving GameofTomes!
I love this video but my fav part so far is when your lovely dog helps to spread the soil ❤😊
LOVE THIS! Animals are the cutest we don’t deserve them 😭❤️❤️❤️
the frog is so cute
Such a great eclectic vlog Emma, keep up the fantastic work. Always look forward to the joy you bring.
Omg I’m two seconds in and my heart has already melted again. Calcifer, you adorable thing you!! 😻

@@beth4389 👍👍
@@abbysands9510 i also completely agree on that. i wish my teacher gave me more info about his work and historical era that i wouldn't be so biased and blaming shakespeare for being too tragedic in a way that's very far away from reality (that was my main complaint for the longest time). At least now i am enjoying his form of art in a mature way
It's nice to see you so happy, I hope you could recharge a bit while visiting home.
And omg yes to a play about Benvolio hahaha
Hey, Our degree syllabus is pretty similar Emma! We finished our Shakespearean studies last semester. Henry IV, A Midsummers Nights Dream, Macbeth and The Tempest. I love your parent's place, the surrounding there is so calming and absolutely lovely. Died seeing those flowers.
Hey Emma! I absolutely love seeing Calcifer and Eevee's friendship together, I'm so glad they get along so well! Also good luck with your thesis, as well as your assignments, I'm sure you'll ace them :)❤
Your kitty is such a good boy!! Where did you get his harness from? I’ve been looking for a new one 😸
Ooh Cal’s harness is actually a small dog’s harness😂 I think the brand might be Canada Pooch!
Eevie is the cutest gardener ever. ❤
❤ the video! These types my fav🤗
maple syrup frappuccino is great
You absolutely should go see the Romeo & Juliet ballet. I saw it recently in Melbourne and it was so so good.
Eevee shoveling the dirt was so dang cute ☺
The comments environment is so sweet ❤
LOVING the flashes of chaotic energy haha 😂
I'm so early, I adore your vlogs and I love Calcifer
I love the nature pics your video! 💚
21:50 there is a very famous telenovela in brazil that i believe is about this book and i didn't know lol, the name is o cravo e a rosa by the way
Only 5 seconds in and Calcifer is overwhelming me with cuteness omg 😍
this just made my day
cannot believe you read Lispector!! i love this book but only when you said “macabea” i realized what book you were talking about since i read it in portuguese.
its silly but seeing my culture (and the one from my neighbors) being appreciated when that does not often happen makes me really emotional. (especially when its complimented by someone i respect so much like you). i guess im just trying to say thanks

6:11 What a beautiful day to visit the cemetery. Hope everything is well.
It's funny that you talked about studying Romeo and Juliet in Year 10, and Hamlet in Year 12. They're same years that my high school, all the way over in Melbourne, Australia had me studying them. We also studied The Merchant of Venice in Year 8, A Midsummer Night's Dream in Year 9, and Macbeth in Year 11. For whatever reason they were a bit obsessed with Shakespeare in the late 90s-early 2000s. I enjoyed A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet at the time, and have since enjoyed a novelisation of Macbeth, the others not so much.
I was wondering, is Eevee named after the Pokémon?
I was recently enemy #1 of the Yarra Plenty Regional Library system, here in Melbourne because my library has the same 'no late fees' policy as yours does and a few days before Christmas I realised they wanted to charge me for the two books I'd had out since October (I honestly don't think two months overdue is long enough to call the book 'lost', but anyway I digress). Fortunately, I wasn't at the $200 level of overdue, only $42.50 to replace the two books I 'lost'. I did the same as you, immediately took them down to the return chute (although I didn't clog mine with my pile because I only had two) and then went inside to see what new treasures I might find, spent about five minutes browsing (while also allowing the computer system time to recognise the missing books were returned and unblock my account) and then went to the self-service computer (my library is all about mechanisation and human-contact free visits, if that's what the patrons want) to check out my new finds. I'll do my best to not allow that to happen again, but like you I can't guarantee it, but fortunately, as long as I don't actually lose, or irreparably destroy, a book the fine is removed pretty much immediately and the account returned to active status.
I am also behind on Brother’s Karamazo 😅 hopefully now that I’m moved and have a routine with bar prep I have a bit more time!
I loved seeing Calcifer and Evie (forgive me if I'm misspelling that) together. Your description of them trying to play reminds me of my cat and my mom's dog - they try to play with each other, but cats and dogs just don't know the same games. Also, as someone who takes my cat for walks (on a leash), I loved seeing Calcifer's stroller.
I would love to read your paper, Emma. I will be buying a nice copy of Hour of the Star asap because I have a devastating genetic disorder and no one ever knows what I smile through because everyone is going through something, and I choose to rise above the pain. I really needed this. ❤
Worth it!
I work in a small town library. When people are a few days late, I call them and ask if they want me to renew their loans. If we speak, I’ll renew it until someone reserves it. The two time renewal max can be bypassed manually by an employee and honestly, I get it. Sometimes we just need more time. We have had some patrons which we asked if they could just come in and show us they still had their volume in good condition. We just want to make sure our books are being well taken cared of 😅 We recently had a day where anyone who came or called we would get rid of their debt, asking them if they had books they had kept out of shame they could just bring back free of charge…. All the students with projects 😂😂 They felt guilty, but really we just wanted the books back. Because ultimately we want the books and have no hard feelings 😊
so fun to see what flora is blooming there, you wouldn't see magnolias and daffodils in my area anymore (i'm in czech republic)
Calcifer in the intro❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲why is he soooooooooooooooooooooo cuteeeee????!!! It pains to see how he steals my heart away in every damn video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad to see you’ve found a more creative name for the classic literature series
I just love your videos because I feel so motivated after watching them! ❤ Thank you for the best job you do. 🥹
I totally agree with you on not reading Shakespeare in high school! I took a Shakespeare class in college last semester that focused on Romeo and Juliet and I discovered I actually love Romeo and Juliet. You never know.
