i feel like a mom from the other side of the world but as an internet follower, i'm so proud of you 💕 CONGRATULATIONS
ME TOO!!!! I’m crying
:’) thank you!!!💕
@@emmiereads this made my day, hello emmie! hope you're doing well, your mental health is well and uni is amazing! be kind to yourself, you're amazing! 😚 and still super proud of you, will check your new video very soon!
It is weird. I don't really know you, but I genuinely feel happy for you. I can't imagine how exciting it must be to write a foreword for your favourite book. Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
We old subscribers know how momentous this occasion is. So proud and happy for you! 🎭 🥰
I never got to read it, but last year I watched the entire musical when it was uploaded on youtube by the legitimate theatre company. It was breathtaking, made me cry.
I know right 🥰
Ugh my heart thank you💙
Who would’ve thought that when little 3rd grade Emma picked up Phantom of the Opera that she would author a foreword for that very book as an adult 💕💕 dreams do come true ✨
Emmie: "I just submitted my forward to the publishing people..."
Me: I just purchased the book and now I'm waiting by my PO Box.
This is why we annotate!!! Cause there could be a chance we receive the honor to write an introduction of our favorite book !!!!
I had no idea accomplishments of someone i've never met or known personally could make me this happy and proud. Congratulations, Emma! ♥️
That is so sweet thank you so much!!🥰
As a long time watcher, I remember vividly how ecstatic you get everytime you talk about phantom of the opera, so you can just imagine how excited i got when i read the title of this vid 😭 SO HAPPY FOR YOU QUEEN 🥺❤️
It means the world to me, thank you lovely 💕💕
This is so awesome Emma! You've now officially done more for this book than Andrew Lloyd Webber.
lmaooooo
HAHAHAHA
Someone explain pls
@@yipyip3173 Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the Phantom of the Opera musical, as well as the sequel Love Never Dies. from what i understand, the book and the musical are… different, let’s say
@@marcusr4711 ah, thankss
I open UA-cam during my lunch break today and saw the title of this video. You won't believe how happy and proud I felt! It feels like my daughter's accomplishment. This is an incredible opportunity for you. Enjoy it and hopefully it is the first of many great things to come.
Congratulations, Emma. Always knew from when I first began watching your videos that you'd be a writer whose work is valued. Wonderful that it's begun for you already. Brava. We your fans are all proud of you and happy for you.
Proud of you Emma. And I'm sure Augmented Classic Phantom of the Opera won't be the last book with your foreword 🤞So excited to see what's the next book for you to write its foreword or even you will write for your own book 😳
Thank you! I hope so too and ah yes that’s the dream!!
Congratulations Emma, you have hit a huge milestone. Listening to fractions of your introduction made me really nostalgic about the time when I read this book eons ago.
congratulations emma!!!! as a subscriber whos been here for some time now i know how much you love phantom of the opera. SO DESERVED!!! you're so talented
I am so happy to watch you dive into this novel. It’s my favorite everything- book, musical, movie, the works! I love this story so much. Thanks for getting more eyes on it, and Congratulations!
as a long time follower and fan (of both you and phantom) this is such a momentous happening! I’m screaming- I’m so happy for and proud of you! Love you and congratulations!! ❤️✨
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I’m so so happy for you, I can’t even imagine how exciting this was to do especially for a book that is so close to the heart!
Hope you have a great day/evening/night and again, congrats! ❤️
congratulations emma ! i’m so proud of you ! you have no idea really how proud i’m! you’re such an inspiration and you deserve every good in the world! I love you keep it up girl ❤️✨
You are a gifted writer Emma.The sound of heaven will be silently reading this beautiful foreword.And who knows,I may even like the book?Thank you so much!❤️
Congratulations, Emma ❤️! A small part of your dream came true with this project❤️. I would love watching more writing vlogs from you . They are so soothing and it's great hearing your thoughts.
I loved your writing, Em! The composition of ideas and the flow of the text sounded great -- I got a lot of meaning out of it and it actually made me want to get to the novel and find out what my experience of it would be. So happy for you
I’m barely at one fifth of the video and I’m already bursting out in tears of joy for you. I’m so happy for you Emma!
This is such an amazing and special thing Emma!! You've always known of your love of the book, and getting to write the foreword for one of your favorite books is such an honorable thing! Congratulations 💕 can't wait to get my hands on the copy!!
Thank you thank you!! I had the best time writing it:’)
I'm really, really happy for you, Emma! I am halfway through your vlog, at 20 minute-ish mark, precisely, but I can't resist to comment. I'm so proud of what you have achieved - writing is not an easy feat! You are the most eloquent person (regarding books, particularly) I have ever come across, with extensive vocabulary and crystal clear speech. I am sure that it will be displayed through your writing as well.
I''m preparing for graduate school application and will sit for two examinations next month (October) so once I am done with all the hectic grad school stuff I'm going to pick a copy of Phantom of the Opera. I hope that the panini (you know what it actually is) will lessen so I can easily place an international order again, and buy the one with your foreword! I have never read or seen Phantom of the Opera but I love opera performances pertaining to the story. I also went to Paris once and saw the majestic Opéra Garnier myself. I always thought "breath-taking" sounds a little bit excessive, but I cannot find any other word to describe how beautiful and hypnotizing the building is. I am obsessed with so many things related to Phantom of the Opera!
I am sure that I will be enamored with the actual story that has inspired those majestic artworks and performances. Thank you so much for introducing us non-lit students to so many amazing books, including Phantom of the Opera!!
Much love,
French Toast
😇
C'est tres cool! Felicitations, Emma. A great way to start the day, seeing your joy. I *love* that part when you're in your room, you look at the camera, and the Phantom music starts. That deadpan expression is priceless.
Congratulations! I know exactly what you mean about finally/formally writing about something that you've talked about for a long time. In my case it was a book about movies that was published earlier this year. I felt a lot of pressure to really dig through and coalesce my thoughts about a particular piece, and a huge sense of accomplishment once it was completed (after many drafts).
This play/book has my heart. First time i watched it it felt amazing and hearing about it made my soul feel so happy. Just something inside of me just felt so happy. So im so happy for you.
Your videos are extremely delightful to watch, and you are the reason I got back in touch with my inner reader. Thank you so much Emma.
So ridiculously excited, proud and happy for you! 🥺 You go Emma, that was an absolute delight! I can only imagine how intimidating that must have been for you, but you did it!!! 👏👏👏 Aaaaah man, what a moment
I’m so happy for you that one of your dreams came true🥰 I’m a huge fan of yours and love all your videos! You have such a calming voice that helps tremendously with my anxiety💕
I have ordered the augmented phantom of the opera book now and can’t wait to get it all the way to Norway and read your introduction🤩 It’s been a lot of fun following and taking part in both of your reading bookclubs with your friends🥳 Looking forward to even more cozy and fantastic videoes from you🙌❤️
I FEEL SO HAPPY & PROUD OF YOU!!😭 you deserve it Emma!!🤍 AAAH
Omg Emma! Congratulations! This is amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I cannot wait to read your entire piece! I first read Phantom when I was 13 or 14 and totally agree it is a complex masterpiece with so many themes to unpack and such perfect gothic vibes!
Congratulations on writing your first intro. I am waiting for this book to come in the mail. I have and loved the movie but have never read the book. One of my favorite opera and now looking forward to the book. Again congratulations and thank you for all you do.
OMG Emma!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE 🥺🤯 CONGRATULATIONS ❣️ I’ve been wanting to get Phantom of the Opera for a while and now that you’re in this edition I’m definitely going to get this one!!! 🥳
I am feeling very emotional right now. I am so happy for you, Emma!! 💞 I actually have just finished reading Phantom of the Opera a few days ago, and it was because of yooouu!
I've been wanting to read this book this year, so I'm excited to get this addition with your foreword! Congrats! Also thank you for not giving spoilers in the foreword, I hate that too!
This is so amazing, congrats! I read this book because of you and I absolutely fell in love with it. One of my favorites now😊
Oh my goodness I'm so so PROUD of you and happy for you!! Congratulations Emma 🎊 👏 💐
Emmie! My copy of Phantom is being delivered tomorrow. You have inspired me to read it so when I watched this video, I knew this was the edition I wanted to start with.
Can’t wait to read your words!
Keep being awesome :)
Congrats on the foreward! You definitely articulated your love of the novel in it. I never read the book but did see the musical many years ago.
The excitement I felt just reading the title... I'm so happy for you Emma!
My dad was in the original Toronto production of Phantom! I can't wait to read the book, I will definitely try get this edition :)
Oh my gosh that’s amazing, what was his role?!
@@emmiereads Monsieur Richard Firmin :)
Congratulations on being able to contribute to something you love so much
Your love of Phantom of the Opera, and the other gothic classics, is so inspiring - I have brought 4 of them through Augmented Classics. Living down under in NZ means a) shipping was ridiculous, and b) I won't get them for ages, but I just couldn't resist after seeing this video! Excited to be reading these gothic classics very soon!!
Holy crêpe! Congratulations! That's fantastic. I want to read the rest of your foreword because what you read to us sounded *chef's kiss* phenomenal, and makes me want to read the book even more.
Totally agree with you on the length of the foreword! It actually happened to me with another classic where I felt dispirited and stopped somewhere in the foreword never getting to the actual book. Since then I actually skip them unless I know the book and am happy to reread it. Also- Congratulations !!!!!
congratulations on reaching this goal. i hope you continue receiving such opportunities, hope you continue to explore your writing and everything that made you oh so happy and giddy
Congratulations Emma! I'm really proud and happy for you! ❤❤
🇬🇧 I read this book when you recommended it way back, love it, annotated it and would read it again. WELL DONE YOU! What an opportunity for you 👏
OMG EMMIE this is so great congratulations!! very happy for you and so proud!! 😭😭
I'M SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU EMMA 😭 !!!!!
You deserve this and so much more. I'm literally squealing across the screen rn, AHHH CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!
THANK YOU!!!💙
Congrats Emma! I’m so happy for you. That foreword makes me want to read phantom now❤️
I really like the way the music weaves through the vlogs! You do such a good job with that Emma! Also love your animal footage as always. That squirrel in the pot lol.
No way! I was just about to start rereading Phantom of the Opera as apart of my fall reading! Congratulations to you! It will be a pleasure to own a copy of your work ❤️ (and a pleasure to now own a second edition... It is my favorite musical of all time!)
Oh my god this is amazing I cannot wait to have this and read your words. ❤️ all the passion makes me feel so emotional right there with you. Congratulations
So absolutely thrilled for you Emma, and so proud!!! Congratulations!!!!!! I adore the parts you read! I could hear your voice!! It was perfect!! You did a fantastic job!! I’m ordering a copy but I want you to sign it pleeeeease!!
And the postcard was in this video!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
As a fellow lover of books, reading and writing, who also has post-concussion syndrome, I understand. I know this was posted a while back, but I tuned in because I just finished my first read of Phantom of the Opera and wanted to hear what you had to say. Best wishes 💜
So so proud of you Emma! 👏 I feel like your big sister beaming with pride at how far you've come! Congratulations! Well deserved!
congrats girl! this video couldnt have come at a better time. i literally finished reading it for the second time a couple of hours ago.
Emma, congratulations!!! Much love!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so proud of you!
Congratulations! What you read of your forward sounded amazing! Your videos help me get through my Algebra homework, so thank you!
I literally started crying happy tears for you! This is so exciting 🥰
This is so amazing Em! so proud of you ❤️❤️❤️
Aww! I am so proud of you! This is such a milestone & I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy!
I actually reread the Phantom of the Opera because of how enthusiastically you talked about all of the elements you enjoyed, and reading it I had a lot of those elements in the back of my mind--the idea of the Palais Garnier as almost a character in itself, the detective novel/mystery elements and how that played into the gothic romance of the book, how the Opera House represented the past and the present and the intermingling of these two. Your own thoughts on the novel really helped me understand it in a deeper way, and I think your foreward will be so interesting to read!
This even made me more excited to read, the phantom of the opera, and I am also happy for youuu
you captured the heart and appeal of the story so well in the excerpt you read from your foreword 😭 Grabbing a copy asap!!!
That is amazing! I read The Phantom of the Opera earlier this year and loved it. I will definitely have to order this edition at some point to add to my shelf. Congratulations yet again!
CONGRATULATIONS EMMA!!!!!!!!! I FEEL LIKE A PROUD MOM SO CLOSE TO 180K TOO!!! WE LOVE YOU AND WE'RE SO PROUD & HAPPY FOR YOU
Oh my gosh Mae thank you, you mean the world to me, sending you so much love!!💙
