Emma, there's something I've been wanting to say to you and a few other UA-cam creators for a long time. When people tell you that seeing a notification pop up with your channel name makes them happy, please believe them. I think it’s because you are incredibly brave. We all have our stuff to work out but you have the courage to do it in public. That gives people like me the will to do it in whatever way we have. You've been brightening my days since the video when you were anxious about telling your family you had a UA-cam channel, back in spring of 2000. I'm grateful for you. And by the way, your hair is so pretty today!
Yes. Me too. 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' -- Maya Angelou
Be yourself 😊
Awe love I believe you so much - thank you for your words, it’s honestly wonderful humans like you that make being brave on here easy🩵 Sending you so much love and haha so fun that you’ve been here since the start!!!🥰
Would love a whole video on The Raven Cycle!! It's such a nostalgic series to me, would love to hear your thoughts on the rest of it🥰
Yesssssss
Definitely! I actually started reading it because of Emma and I'm on the 4th book! I'm excited to see what she'll think of the othersss
“You *can* yell at me but I will cry” 😂😂😂 I’m deceased
I'd love to see a full vid about the raven cycle! I was also surprised by just how much I loved it. So excited to see you read the rest of the series!
Yes please! I would love a video series on the Raven Cycle so much!! ✨🤍
I can never stick to reading just one book. I'm always reading ten at a time lol
SO REAL. I genuinely don’t know how people can stick to one book and finish front to back in a couple sittings unless it’s a graphic novel
i'm the exact opposite 💀 whenever i try to read more books at once i end up never finishing some of them.. i can do two physical + maybe one audiobook AT MY BEST 😭
Same 😂 my “Currently Reading” shelf on GoodReads is forever growing lol
Girl you’re looking so cute!! 🥰 Excited to watch your reading plans
Side note, but your hair is styled really pretty! 💕
whenever i get a notification from you i always light up
Emma its always nice when your videos pop up ❤
My fave youtuber is back ❤
Omg! I would definitely join you if you do a video about reading the Anne of Green Gables series with us! And yes we want a Raven boys vlog!!🧡
I would love a vlog series on the raven cycle!! I'm doing my third reread of it rn lol I love that series so much. Would love to hear all your thoughts about it!
Omg third?? I havent finished my first read through but I do know I'll def reread it! And I'll try to get physical copies as well
EMMA THE HAIR IS STUNNING (as always)
Omg I just started rereading the Raven Boys because I read the first book 5 years ago but never carried on with the series and I want to. I'd love it if you did a reading vlog of the series/kept us updated so I can read along with you
exactly the video i needed
I’m on book 3 of Fortuna Sworn and I’m loving it so much I’m obsessed
Always excited when I get an upload notification!❤🎉
so excited for you to read act your age eve brown, definitely my favorite in the series
Would absolutely love a Raven Cycle video :]
Komi can't communicate anime was really sweet, maybe that's the way to go with this one
I got book series fatigue from when I was a teen, now I read mostly stand alones so imagine my surprise when I realized that I'm actually in the middle of 4 series lol Anne of Green Gables, Percy Jackson, the Neapolitan Novels, and Foundation (to be fair, I am enjoying them, maybe I'll slowly get back to reading more series)
Im so happy you mentioned Anne of Green Gables, im curently reading that series and going into book 3 tomorrow 🥰 absolutely adore it!
im almost at the end of book 3! I have like 10 ish chapters left i think
I'm re-reading it for the third time, and I'm on book two😊
the fact that you only read the first book of the raven boy cycle.... EMMA!!!! you're about to go through SO much! i'm so happy for you (and for us). so, please, continue this series!!
i'm actually really excited for your video on the selection, cause it's like the worst thing i've ever read. i had a lot of fun with the first one, but couldn't get through the second one. it's just SO bad..... couldn't handle it. so like i'm excited to know what happens when you tell us, but also it's fine if you just dnf it, cause no one deserves so much bad writing
keep going with the books of babel! it is so worth it
I'm on good track for the year. Just finished Beauty is a Wound. Mixed feelings for sure. Love all your videos as always, Emma--be well!
I love Aria, too. So lovely.
Hi Emma. Love your hair! It looks cute! ❤
Yes to the Raven Cycle video, pleeeease!! And I'd say give up on the Once Upon a Broken Heart, cause there's way better fantasy reads out there.
Hii Emmie, I love ur travel and lifestyle vlogs. Book vlogs are also nice.
Any type of vlog by u😊.
Ok, so, I made the same comment when you read this book, but I still think the same: I love Books of Babel! And if you continue with the series, I think you will, too! The second book is much more dynamic and we start to follow other POVs (I love all of them), and while the plot and themes may seem haphazardly woven now, it will all click as you learn more about the tower and the painting. I think you should at least read on till you meet Byron (half robot half deer butler, he's in the second book, and I think you'll adore him).
Emma's The World Tour Book Club on Fable is THE best thing that has happened to me so far on my literary journey! It's not only about expanding my reading horizons but also about the community you are fostering ❤
P.S. I'm eagerly waiting to hear your views on 'Beauty is a Wound'
I only remember liking both the Silver and the Ruby Red trilogy by Kerstin Gier but I read them when I was like 12/13😅 That's almost ten years ago now so I understand what you mean with them being quite juvenile. I'm also just now getting into the ACOTAR series and omg I didn't expect to enjoy it so much✨ Much love xx
Emma's videos are my safe space
Please make a reading vlog or review video about the raven cycle! It was my comfort pandemic read and one of my favourite YA series of all time
I can't believe you're reading the Selection series right now because I also just reread it!! I can't wait for the video :)
emma read the realm of the elderlings you'll love it!!
I love these update videos, they feel like catching up with a friend 😊 I know u don’t need anymore series but I just have to recommend the finishing school series by Gail Carriger. I read it in middle school alongside those spy books by Ali Carter and my desire to go to boarding school skyrocketed lol. No one I know has seem to have heard of them, but they’re steam punk (not too much I promise) middle grade series w urban fantasy of vampires and werewolves w a cute romance and just a cute silly fun time (it’s not serious in the slightest 😂) with ur reading taste u would either love it or hate it and I’m sooo curious to see where u fall.
Great video thank you. Love your personality! ❤
Noooo the trilogy of Red Blue and Green is so good
I remember being obsessed with it, when I started reading. Recently re-watched all the movies adaptation.
!!! YES WE NEED A VIDEO SERIES FOR THE RAVEN CYCLE !!! ok thanks
anddd I'm happy 💕
i series i started from watching your channel is Aggie Morton series. They are just cute and fun books
This was such an exciting thing to come home to
I’ve been really cautious about what series I get into. I don’t wanna have a Song of Ice and Fire issue. So I get nervous about series that aren’t close to completion. But I’m in Red Rising and Legends and Lattes. Also finished Lord of the rings!
Omg i recently got the boxset of Anne of Green Gables with all the books in the series so I'm definetly gonna join you on that one if you do it! ❤❤❤
Please make a video for each of the raven cycle books!
Thank you
A new Emmie video! What app do you do to track your series?
I'm reading the Lunar Chronicles at the min. Not into sci fi/fantasy really, but getting through the books.😂
raven boys video yess!!!!
I want to reread the Anne of Green Gables books too!
Emmie you talk about Fantasy a lot and how it’s something really fun to fly through for a good time and escape from anything dragging you down, well I know you are much more of a book reader but I really want to recommend you my favourite manga, Berserk, it’s quite possibly the most acclaimed manga, it’s usually ranked number 1 in most manga websites as the best and for good reason in my opinion, it’s a dark fantasy but don’t let that scare you, it has its dark moments as it’s set in medieval Europe so it stays true to its horrors at the time but it has its light fantasy elements too and loads of comedic relief, honestly it’s a very epic whilst also human story and it’s been my favourite for years. If you ever feel like trying out a manga series that’s long but truly worth it for all the emotions it brings, start with Berserk. I also want to preface the first arc throws you into the future but in the second arc it begins to explain and answer questions with the backstory.
PS I shouldn’t recommend a new series but I just have to 😭
I know a lot of people Looove that manga. I’ve thought of getting into it tbh
Berserk is a masterpiece, and I never use that term lightly.
I'm in my 50s and have only been reading Manga for a few years, and Berserk was my first 💟
Now there's lots of great Manga, but nothing comes close to Berserk 👌
@@Scotty_Heh it will be worth it! I feel like if ppl would search it up it doesn’t represent what Berserk is truly like, it doesn’t show the true beauty of it, it just shows the main protagonist in armour and BELIEVE ME, I love him, he’s my favourite protagonist, but it looks like it’s so male geared and basic, when it’s truly beyond that, it’s one of the deepest stories with so much intricacies, so much unique fantasy elements and beauty surrounding it!
@@ladyfox6705 it was my first too and yes unfortunately nothing comes close💔 I would recommend you Claymore if you haven’t read it yet, it has a very similar setting to Berserk however it’s still very different. People call it the ‘female’ Berserk but Berserk is for the girls too!
@@isabelmariamoorealonso666 Absolutely!
Thank you 😊 have heard of Claymore and it's on my list! Been told it's kind of a Witcher vibe, too, which is right up my street.
This and the Vinland Saga are the only ones I'm that interested in (apart from my current read of the lovely Witch Hat Atelier, which is sweet but quite philosophical.)
I know in the past you have mentioned haruki murakami is one of your favorite authors, at least i think you did. if this is so, have you read all of his novels? and which one is your favorite? maybe a potential video idea 🤷🏾♂️
this hairstyle looks amazing on you, reminds me of japanese cyberpunk characters for some reason haha
In regards to komi can't communicate, might you be interested in the anime? It's cute and a faster way to get through the series 😊
heyyy im early my perfect lunch video hope you have s great day emma
I DNF'd Senlin Ascends after the first book too - just two slow and all the encounters seemed too arbitrary to make a satisfying trilogy. So glad you didn't get rid of The Raven Boys, though - I absolutely loved the whole series, plus the follow-up trilogy as well! The audiobooks, in particular, are really great. Yes, please on doing more videos on those!
Also, I was inspired by your previous series tracking video to do this myself (thinking, 'oh, I'm totally on top of all my series and there aren't that many!') - there were 33, I'd only made progress on 13 in the last year, and there were six I hadn't touched in over five years (am I ever going to pick up book 8 of Malazan after an *eight* year gap when I can't remember anything about them and they're all about 900 pages long???). So, yeah, officer, I can explain...
Senlin isn't a trilogy. It's a tetralogy.
Hi! Would love to see a video on the Raven Boys series! Also, what app do you use for keeping track of your progress on series ?
please do the raven cycle video
On my knees begging for you to do series on the Raven Cycle. You don't even need to persuade me to re-read the series, I will buddy-read along with you. Caw, caw babey!!
That’s how different people’s reading taste is. I loved the Precious Stone trilogy (I was the one who sent you vol.1) and hated the Raven Boys (dnf’d it after vol.2) 🙈
Yes yes yes!!! Raven boys represent!!!
Yay a new video :D
emmieee, any tips on how to read a bunch of books at once? whenever I do that my brain mixes up all the stories and it gets really confusing. lol
Do what works best for you! Sometimes consuming books at a slower pace is better, especially if your brain likes it more😊
Buttt, if you really have a need/want to read multiple books at once, I would say pick books that are completely opposite in genre. For example, you could read a classic at the same time as a YA book. Or even reading a fantasy and a contemporary romance at the same time.
emma, have you read the notebooks of malte laurids brigge by rilke? i started it a few days ago and it's mind-blowing in it's philosophy and writing. i also finished drive your plow over the bones of the dead and that book left me very unsettled. i feel like so much was said without words in addition to all the ideas presented in the text
Looking cute! But personally, I love me a cute short bob haired Emma
I'm begging you to read the shadowhunter chronicles, i promise you'll have fun with it 💝💝💝 (i would certainly pick tsc over acotar 😢)
Hi Emma!❤❤❤
You should read Judy I Lin's books including, A Magic Steeped In Poison and A Venom So Sweet & Lovely.
They're great fantasy/romance novels!❤❤📚✨️✨️
I'm definitely looking forward to read Song Of The Six Realms this May!❤❤❤📚📚☺️🌷🌸🌻
Yayyyy ✨🥺
I've been reading the Anne of Green Gables series for the first time.
Hope you're excited for netflix's 1000 years of solitude adaptation
The aspects you enjoyed while reading Shatter Me was just Aaron Warner. You can't convince me there is more to those books.
Emmaaaa 🩷🩷🩷 I’ve been wanting to recommend you tv series for a month now haha. Please check out True Detective’s latest season Night Country it’s set in Alaska full of snowwww and it made me think of you ❄️❄️❄️ The storyline is really good too but the atmosphere is even better!
Emma, you HAVE TO read Endless Terrors. Been waiting forever to hear what you have to say about it
Have you read The Hunger Games series? I picked it up this year and loving the books so far, I'm currently on Mockingjay.
I recently checked how many series I'm in the middle of... 41 😅 I need to work on that
MAKE A WHOLE VIDEO ON RAVEN BOYSSS, do a read with me pls :3 , I promise to not skip ads if you do
What app did you use to make these lists to keep track!?
You should read some books by Robin Hobb and Brandon Sanderson too! Add it to the long list😅
You need to keep reading the Napolitan Novels!
Anybody who would write a book titled Bride of the Shadow King and make it 700 pages needs to be criminally charged for societal time theft.
I also had a slightly underwhelming experience with Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries, but then I read the second book and I enjoyed it sooo much more somehow. I feel like the characters had more depth and the storyline was more engaging too. Don’t give up on it!
nice hair
The only series of books I’ve started and finished are The Hunger Games and The Vampire Chronicles. Series just don’t appeal to me and I feel like I’m in the minority
Can we have a reaction video to you watching the new 100 Years of Solitude trailer? Cause I think that would be funny 😊
…There’s a movie being made? 🤔
@@optimusxai yeah, netflix is making it
Same! I would love to see her reaction 😅
I dnf'ed a lot of series because they were series I started when I was 13 (currebtly 21), I'm just not interested in them anymore. Instead I'm rereading a lot of my favorites 😂
of course we want you to make a video about raven boys what r u NUTS
Act your age Eve brown is my FAVORITE!!!!! I love it so much it’s still one of my fav romance books
"if you'd like me to make a whole video series with the raven boys let me know" i mean, obviously! Come on!
Really, it's the series' fault for not making me want to pick up the next book right away 🤷
I saw DNF and thought you’re going to talk about the Shanghai GP for no reason, am stupid
YAYYY THE HAIR SOOOOOOO PRETTYYYYY OMGGGG
lol why are you giving people your unwanted opinion ?
@@pnkbee there you go lol since u seemed more affected than emma herself
Tower of Babel books just gradually decline in quality and become very redundant imo. I wouldn’t go out of your way to read them
Seeing other books… Emma is a cheater. Ha!
😂😂😂
The kirsten gier trilogy is such a ya classic but the english translation is some of the worst Translation of any book I have ever read
The english translation of most Kerstin Gier books is terrible, so no wonder you DNF'd two series haha.
I DNF'd the Selection series after book 1, because i didn't like any of the characters and i can't stand those bachlor-looks-for-a-wife situations.
Nerd
it is funny how even when u try to mansplain settler colonialism to me and give examples to support ur opinion, u give the wrong ones. ukraine was conquered by the mongols, yes, but the mongols did not settle there. and that is just one example where ur logic is flawed. nonetheless, even if all that u said were true (which it isnt), why should modern people suffer just because in the past countries were more bloodthirsty than they are now?
Emma, your hair is hiding your lovely face! It can be a bit distracting to not be able to see your face and have you moving your hair out of the way for most of the videos. I have been struggling to find the right words to let you know this in a respectful way as it has been something I noticed in many of your videos lately.
