I always love the hat! On a more serious note. Anyone who likes your channel knows what you've been through recently and hopefully will be tolerant of your recovery. That said, you are doing fine, so don't worry!
I know you've been getting some nasty comments on your videos about your surgery so I just wanted to say you look and sound great. You sound like you always do and we love you like we always did ❤️ Just keep on doing whatever makes you happy and we'll be happy too :) Hwaiting! 🤞
It seems that it’s mostly on her beauty channel (which is where I found Emily first), but the book channel it seems we are just happy to have Emily back and I haven’t seen negative comments on the book channel. Seems most on the book channel are clueless to the surgery 😂
Don’t worry about people who might be bothered about you struggling to pronounce certain words! Honestly we are SO glad to have you back!! 🥰 and if anyone is bothered by it...well that’s just stupid 🙄 I LOVE spoiler full vlogs! So excited to see more of them from you 🙌🏻♥️♥️✨
Welcome back!! I read Seveneves years ago and, honestly, it felt like the second part of the book was written by another person. It was really interesting following all the different characters and the ways they came up with to survive, but as the story progressed I found myself wanting it to be over already. I hope that will not be the case with you!
It's time you pick up the Wheel of Time series Emily! The show is coming soon, with an awesome cast and everyone from the fandom is really hyped. It's 14 book long epic fantasy series, the last three finished by Brandon Sanderson, and it's worth every single page. Quite possibly one of the best series ever written.
I was a bit busy with my life recently and many people take brakes during summer to rest so I have barely noticed that you were gone for some time and then I was watching your video and I honestly haven't noticed that anything was different until you mentioned the surgery. I got so worried then! I went to your beauty acc and watched the whole story there. But just so you know that talking problems aren't even noticeable. Good luck with your recovery! Also wow! It never stops being amazing the number of book you read! Honestly goals! xD
Before I knew you had surgery I could tell something was different, but the most noticeable thing was how much happier you seem. ❤ By the way, you look AMAZING after such a short time.
Don't worry about the way you speak at the moment, I don't think anyone can be bothered about it at all. It's awesome to have you back with so much bookish content for us. Keep recovering well!!
So excited to hear how you like Children of Ruin! I found Children of Time because you read it, and I adored it! I’ll have to try to read the sequel this month with you. 😁
I am glad that you have returned and that you are improving. I know that people don't make it easy for you with so much "opinion" that they have about your surgery, I know it's hard to ignore them but to hell with them, the first thing is you and your health. I hope you keep improving and I admire your courage. You are a great example.
To be fair I'm not too worried about the comments on this channel, 99% of the time everyone is super supportive! The comments on the surgery video tho... it's a shitshow lol
I was missing it so much!! Honestly it's been harder mentally than anything else... I feel pretty normal at this point and when I edit I realize I don't look normal haha
So glad you're back with your videos! I don't watch many booktubers and I missed you! Now reading "Gone with the Wind" and unexpectedly it is sooo nice and funny 😄
Yeah! Love your video's. So happy you are back🥰 I am so curious what you think of crown of midnight! I started to love the series from the 4th book so still have hope you will like it haha!😄
I recently picked up Children of Time and I’m really hoping that the spider thing doesn’t put me off too much. The premise just sounds so awesome and I have been trying to get into more hard sci-fi. Really interested to see what your October TBR will look like. Gotta love spooky season!
I'm so glad you're doing well after your surgery. when i saw ur vid on ur beauty channel i was shooketh!! excited for ur throne of glass reviews coz I'm reading them rn too and I'm not as into them as i thought i would be 🤔
I have been meaning to read children of time since I saw you talking about it! I gotta get on that. So glad you're doing better and making book videos!
I understand your struggle with the pronunciation and surgery recovery (5 years ago I had a reconstructive surgery, not the same as yours but similiar). And don't worry about it, your pronunciation is fine, we are happy that you are back, healthy and recovering! 💕
I loved Throne of Glass... but I read up to book 4 or 5... and then just DNF’d the series. I hope you like it because so many people do! But it’s not my cup of tea. 👀 Best of luck with your reading!!
I grew up watching the movie of Monte Christo (we had a small collection of VHS and rewatched those a million times) and it's still so vivid in my memory. Such a great story... And I never even knew it was based on a book! I might read it in the future to practice my French.
What version? I love the book,but I hated the movie from 2002 because they made a couple of changes that had no sense in the universe of the characters. Still I'm curious about other adaptations.
@@cristinapetcu9491 I looked it up and it was the version from 1974, it's even uploaded on UA-cam! I think I need to watch it again and see if I still like it as an adult haha
2001 is a fantastic book. It will definitely make the movie make more sense when you watch it. My library is finally getting Where'd You Go, Bernadette to me this month. Hopefully, it lives up to its reputation.
I don't have a lot of experience with sci-fi (except for the hitchhiker's guide by Douglas Adams) but the one book about the exploding moon sounds kind of amazing? I will probably give it a try! Good luck with your tbr~ (and I would love a vlog about the sarah j. maas book! Never read one of her but I believe it would be entertaining)
I really enjoy all your videos and the way to you comment the books, I learn about literature to recommend to my daughters, thanks. P.D. Please excuse my English, I'm from to Ecuador 🇪🇨 and here we speak Spanish 😅
It's a snow globe with my face in it... I was sent it as PR for my beauty channel and it's been our mascot here ever since lol It's half funny, half scary! :P
Downloaded Children of Ruin today from my library. Also nervous because Children of Time was incredible and I don’t want anything to ruin the good feels towards it. I’m sure is going to be amazing though
Honestly, I will never understand why people want to be shit humans and leave thoughtless or mean or unsolicited remarks. This is why I only like cats haha 😂 Meanwhile, I am glad you are back and recovering. You were so brave to have that surgery. I also need to have my jaw moved slightly forward and am NOT brave enough to have it done because I hate anaesthetic, so well done you!! Always love to hear what you’re reading and thinking, so please keep hanging out in booktube and entertaining everyone with your funny reviews 🤗
I have a lengthy September TBR but after the book I’m reading now, I’m so reading Darkdawn! It came in the mail and it shoved everything else back on my list lol
I think I'm gonna get the audiobook of Where'd You go Bernadette. I've been curious about it since it came out but not enough to pick it up yet, though it was on my list. The movie stars Cate Blanchette so I definitely want to get to it before I watch the movie!
I loved wanders so so much! Definitely one of my books of the year. Have you read any of the expanse series? I think you’d love them. I just finished The Dragon Republic and Shantaram. Both just brilliant!
Currently reading sorcery of thorns, surprisingly loving Margaret rogersons books (enchantment of Ravens was 5 stars for me) it reminds be of Christelle Dabos’ a winters promise which is ok for me, but since you didn’t care much for it, may be a bad thing haha I’m planning to read a gentleman in Moscow by AmOr Towles next. I get to see him at an event in a few weeks!! He wrote one of my all time favorite books Rules of Civility Then come the fall reads...
I recently completed seveneves and it was really good. I read 2001 a space odessy this week for the space opera September challenge, it is a brilliant book.
Looking forward to your thoughts on 2001 A Space Odyssey! I haven't read that one yet either, so if you enjoy it, hopefully that will motivate me to pick it up sooner rather than later :)
I listened to 2001 on audiobook and in the forward Clarke discussed how the book was written to be made into a film for Kubrik to direct. It was really interesting, and I hope your copy has this included too!
You look amazing, and sound fine, but please don't push yourself too far for our sake doing reading vlogs. Do what you feel comfortable doing and go at your own pace, we will love ANYTHING you put out. :)
I love that you're back! Also just wanted to say that I love how you include all the books mentioned and links in the description!! Makes it so much easier to go through and find them :)
I just finished Tower of Dawn, the 6th book in the Throne of Glass series, yesterday. Almost done with the series! I liked the first but didn't really like the second. But continued because everybody said it picked up after the third. I'm still not liking them more then okay. Since I already owned all of them I decided to read them all. But every time I pick one up I feel that it's a little bit of a waste of reading time.
I read Where'd You Go Bernadette with my book club and we went to watch the movie this weekend. I flew through the book in like 3 days and overall enjoyed it (a few things I would have taken out) and I liked the movie too :) So very successful :) Interested in hearing your thoughts when you finish it.
I'm currently reading Book 3 of 1Q84 by Murakami I read Books 1&2 in August then started Book 3 and took time out to read An American Story by Christopher Priest which was really good (its a novel about 9/11 which spookily I finished on September 11th )
Just got like, halfway into Heir of fire. It's not Nevernight level (lmao will anything ever be?) but it's definitely better than the other previous book. I'm pretty sure I will continue this series.
Emily, I need help! I've been invited to a book club with the women at my gym and I'm so excited to have real life book friends, BUT they read contemporary and adult fiction, and I read pretty much only Fantasy. Can you recommend me some books that would be enjoyable for them and me? I'd like to recommend something to the group that could bridge our interests, something not intimidating but with a little magical or fantastical elements to give them a taste and see if it's something we could dive more into! Please help me :) Thanks!
I think ASoIaF is the perfect blend because it is complex, realistic and it's a fantasy series! Your new friends may not realize what it's like, and may not want to read it, I know... :( My friends are like that and I'm frustrated because I can't discuss it with them. One of my friends, however, has recently decided to give it a try and she's already addicted to it. She's about to finish Volume 3. But she's the only one whom I've managed to convince. Joe Abercrombie's First Law series is also pretty realistic and one can't tell what period it's supposed to be in. It's like... all historical periods in one. :p If I find something contemporary with a twist, I'll let you know.
Have you read The Ice Queen, by Alice Hoffman? Or something by John Irving? A Son of the Circus, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Cider House Rules or The Hotel New Hampshire? Would those ladies like some magical realism, such as in the works of Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Can you give me some examples of books they seem to prefer?
Oh! Yes! An idea! The Green Mile, by Stephen King! There is magic in it... That book is amazing. You'll have to steel yourself - because certain events are truly horrible, which is to be expected from Stephen King, yet there's also such beauty in that book that it might make you cry...
My September tbr will definitely include My year of rest and relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, I have seen this book floating around for a while and I want to know if it is a good-but-harsh critique of the modern society or if it is the last installment of the Unlikeable Female Protagonist - The Series, like Cat Person happened to be (in my opinion).
My favorite Emily is back...
She's rocking that hat!
That fashion should be on magazins 💙💙
I always love the hat! On a more serious note. Anyone who likes your channel knows what you've been through recently and hopefully will be tolerant of your recovery. That said, you are doing fine, so don't worry!
BeautywithEmilyFox snowglobe emily in her tinfoil hat was what I didn’t know I needed today
Everyday since you've been back I've been SO HAPPY to watch your videos I swear 😂
I can't hear any issue in your speaking btw! Don't worry!
I know you've been getting some nasty comments on your videos about your surgery so I just wanted to say you look and sound great. You sound like you always do and we love you like we always did ❤️ Just keep on doing whatever makes you happy and we'll be happy too :)
Hwaiting! 🤞
Zsófi Andrássy she has surgery? Oh my I need to catch up! I hope she is ok now!
@@Elphie8a You can check it out on her beauty channel!
It seems that it’s mostly on her beauty channel (which is where I found Emily first), but the book channel it seems we are just happy to have Emily back and I haven’t seen negative comments on the book channel. Seems most on the book channel are clueless to the surgery 😂
@@stardroplet9499 yes, she said before that her book channel comments tend to be nicer. I just wanted to give her some support, just in general :)
You sound great and we are glad you are back to filming videos! Also, yes to some more reading vlogs!
Don’t worry about people who might be bothered about you struggling to pronounce certain words! Honestly we are SO glad to have you back!! 🥰 and if anyone is bothered by it...well that’s just stupid 🙄
I LOVE spoiler full vlogs! So excited to see more of them from you 🙌🏻♥️♥️✨
You look and sound great so don't worry about it 😙 I love Chuck Wendig's Miriam Black series! 💙
Thank goodness you‘re back! I‘m cheering you on to finish Monte Christo, you can do ittt! 💪🏻
I love that snow globe Emily is now wearing the foil hat. lol
It suits her lol
Emily you are looking great!!! So happy your surgery went well and that youre back!!
Emily! Don’t worry about how you sound or about pronunciation. Honestly, it doesn’t bother us at all ❤️
I'm so happy you're posting again! Really missed your humour

It looks like your recovery went well! I hope it did anyway and everything is ok! Great to have you back
I’m so glad to see you again. Welcome back ! I’ll be praying for your recovery! Love your book introductions! Go strong Emily!

So excited about all the videos!!! You're looking and sounding better in every upload so don't worry!!! Hope your recovery continues to go well!
I can understand you just fine and I'm just so happy you're back!
The misspeaking thing is totally understandable ! I can’t imagine how hard it must be to adjust how you talk. You’re doing great 👍🏻
So excited to hear how you like Children of Ruin!
I found Children of Time because you read it, and I adored it! I’ll have to try to read the sequel this month with you. 😁

Yeeaaaah so happy you're back ! I missed you and your videos so much. Don't worry, your pronunciation is great and you look fabbbb :D
I’m reading Kingdom of Ash right now and I definitely think the books of Throne of Glass get better as they go!
I'm so glad you're doing well after your surgery. when i saw ur vid on ur beauty channel i was shooketh!! excited for ur throne of glass reviews coz I'm reading them rn too and I'm not as into them as i thought i would be 🤔
It was a lot... can't wait to feel 100% but just being back helps :)
Yes! TBR my favorite kind of video!
See I'm always curious what everyone's favorite type of video is and I feel like TBR deserve more love!
I have been meaning to read children of time since I saw you talking about it! I gotta get on that. So glad you're doing better and making book videos!
Do you watch lala’s videos? You and her are my favorite booktubers :)
hey handsome literally same!
@@lisaconradsen7392 wow same here :D ♥
Same!
yeeees!
Same! They put out the best content and I have tried the most books from them of all the other Booktubers I watch ❤️
I understand your struggle with the pronunciation and surgery recovery (5 years ago I had a reconstructive surgery, not the same as yours but similiar). And don't worry about it, your pronunciation is fine, we are happy that you are back, healthy and recovering! 💕
Thank you! I think I struggle more with seeing my mouth struggle than actual speech haha
I loved Throne of Glass... but I read up to book 4 or 5... and then just DNF’d the series. I hope you like it because so many people do! But it’s not my cup of tea. 👀 Best of luck with your reading!!
Looking forward to all the uploads!
hope you're feeling better/hope you continue to feel better! i would love to hear about readathons that you take part in!!!
Good luck with your TBR. I still really need to read Children of Time. Also there's no issue in the way you're speaking. It sounds fine to me.
This looks like christmas! So many videos with few time apart =)
Right?! I have to post a bunch to catch up! :D

I made it through most of Wanderers too, I’m at 13 hours left and just had to step away for a bit...it’s so good but so long!!
Thank you for linking the books!
You sound great, don't worry about it !! and you are giving me sci-fi cravings!!
2001 is a fantastic book. It will definitely make the movie make more sense when you watch it.
My library is finally getting Where'd You Go, Bernadette to me this month. Hopefully, it lives up to its reputation.
I think a lot of us will be reading it before watching the movie... hopefully both of them are great!
I don't have a lot of experience with sci-fi (except for the hitchhiker's guide by Douglas Adams) but the one book about the exploding moon sounds kind of amazing? I will probably give it a try!

I really enjoy all your videos and the way to you comment the books, I learn about literature to recommend to my daughters, thanks.
P.D. Please excuse my English, I'm from to Ecuador 🇪🇨 and here we speak Spanish 😅
I really love Seveneves, can’t wait to hear your thoughts about it
There looks like a little head on your bookshelf (middle shelf to our right). I cannot stop looking at it
It's a snow globe with my face in it... I was sent it as PR for my beauty channel and it's been our mascot here ever since lol
It's half funny, half scary! :P
Well, I just started Nevernight. Fingers crossed I enjoy it as everyone seems to do. I love the writing so far, at least.
If you're enjoying from the beginning then you should love it!
Downloaded Children of Ruin today from my library. Also nervous because Children of Time was incredible and I don’t want anything to ruin the good feels towards it. I’m sure is going to be amazing though
Honestly, I will never understand why people want to be shit humans and leave thoughtless or mean or unsolicited remarks. This is why I only like cats haha 😂
Meanwhile, I am glad you are back and recovering. You were so brave to have that surgery. I also need to have my jaw moved slightly forward and am NOT brave enough to have it done because I hate anaesthetic, so well done you!!
Always love to hear what you’re reading and thinking, so please keep hanging out in booktube and entertaining everyone with your funny reviews 🤗
I have a lengthy September TBR but after the book I’m reading now, I’m so reading Darkdawn! It came in the mail and it shoved everything else back on my list lol
I missed you so much! gonna watch your previous videos to catch up.❤
I think I'm gonna get the audiobook of Where'd You go Bernadette. I've been curious about it since it came out but not enough to pick it up yet, though it was on my list. The movie stars Cate Blanchette so I definitely want to get to it before I watch the movie!
I loved wanders so so much! Definitely one of my books of the year. Have you read any of the expanse series? I think you’d love them. I just finished The Dragon Republic and Shantaram. Both just brilliant!
Not gonna lie, I still need to get used to the new camera angles 😂but I'm so glad you're back. I love watching your videos 🥰
It's gonna change a few more times because I can't find a good one lol
@@BookswithEmilyFox that's fine! Just try until you find what works for you. I'll keep watching no matter what :)
Starting Children of Time without realizing there are giant intelligent spiders... Oh Hell No.... this was me
Currently reading sorcery of thorns, surprisingly loving Margaret rogersons books (enchantment of Ravens was 5 stars for me) it reminds be of Christelle Dabos’ a winters promise which is ok for me, but since you didn’t care much for it, may be a bad thing haha
I’m planning to read a gentleman in Moscow by AmOr Towles next. I get to see him at an event in a few weeks!! He wrote one of my all time favorite books Rules of Civility
Then come the fall reads...
So happy you're back! You look and sound fantastic.
Currently reading The Idiot by Elif Batuman and loving it! Also To All the Boys I Loved Before and A Gathering of Shadows 👍🏻
I adore your videos. I can always find some interesting books in them ❤
I really want to read Seveneves also!
I recently completed seveneves and it was really good. I read 2001 a space odessy this week for the space opera September challenge, it is a brilliant book.
I see I'm not the only one on a sci-fi kick :P
2001 is one of my favourite SF novels The one review I saw of Children of Ruin said it was really good . I still havent even bought it
Looking forward to your thoughts on 2001 A Space Odyssey! I haven't read that one yet either, so if you enjoy it, hopefully that will motivate me to pick it up sooner rather than later :)
Good luck with your reading!
Currently reading Snow White and the Seven Samurai by Tom Holt.
Silliness galore! 😁
I listened to 2001 on audiobook and in the forward Clarke discussed how the book was written to be made into a film for Kubrik to direct. It was really interesting, and I hope your copy has this included too!
Girl, same for Children of Ruin *facepalm* I will have to join u in September and finally read it
The book for 2001: A space odyssey actually came after the movie but the movie was inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel"
You have to read Tower of Dawn before you read Kingdom of Ash. And you have to read The Assassins Blade before book 5.
You look amazing, and sound fine, but please don't push yourself too far for our sake doing reading vlogs. Do what you feel comfortable doing and go at your own pace, we will love ANYTHING you put out. :)
Don’t worry about how you’re speaking, English is not my first language and I understand you perfectly.
Thank you! Speaking a second language with a half functioning mouth is a new level of struggle haha
BookswithEmilyFox jajajajajaja I imagine how hard it can be.
I love that you're back!
Also just wanted to say that I love how you include all the books mentioned and links in the description!! Makes it so much easier to go through and find them :)
"Sometimes is good also to complain." 🤣🤣🤣
It's good for the soul :P
So are you going to do a reading blog for every throne of glass book? And thank god you looked up the order haha
I’m interested to see how you like where’d you go Bernadette because I hated it lol
good luck with your tbr!
I really enjoyed crown of midnight in a throne of glass series
I just finished Tower of Dawn, the 6th book in the Throne of Glass series, yesterday. Almost done with the series! I liked the first but didn't really like the second. But continued because everybody said it picked up after the third. I'm still not liking them more then okay. Since I already owned all of them I decided to read them all.

Are you still planning on reading A Little Life? 😊 Glad you’re feeling better and that the surgery went well 🥰

I’m feeling very attacked right now... because we all know it’s true 😂😂😂
Just got like, halfway into Heir of fire. It's not Nevernight level (lmao will anything ever be?) but it's definitely better than the other previous book. I'm pretty sure I will continue this series.

My September tbr will definitely include My year of rest and relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, I have seen this book floating around for a while and I want to know if it is a good-but-harsh critique of the modern society or if it is the last installment of the Unlikeable Female Protagonist - The Series, like Cat Person happened to be (in my opinion).
