Here's my reading list nobody asked for:
David Copperfield(my first Dickens read)
Baluta
The little prince(rereading)
1984(rereading)
Uncle Tom's cabin
Interrogating motherhood
Ooh I also need to reread 1984 sometime this year, it's been like a decade.
David Copperfield is also on my list and it's my first Dickens too!! Excited and nervous at the same time 😂
David Copperfield was my first Dickens a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it once I'd adjusted to the writing style. I hope you enjoy it too!
Im in love with the little prince its such a great book!! 💕
@@valo9346 I wholeheartedly agree. The book has something magical about it
My TBR for January is:
-The left hand of darkness
-The handmaid's tale
-Wuthering heights
-Otello
Ahh i want to read Wuthering heights thx for reminding
yesss The Left Hand of Darkness was one of my faves of 2021
@@valel1879 I'm loving it, it's amazing the world that Ursula K. Le Guin has created ♥
I love your Uni Vlogs as well as the rest of your videos. I find you to be a fun, clever, and comforting person and your videos really help me when I'm experiencing anxiety and depression. Thank you for all that you do!
The immediate sense of peace I get just by clicking on one of your videos ✨
The blue eye shadow looks so good on you!!! And blue overall really suits you 💙
thank you beautiful
True that
Mrs. Dalloway is quite tricky. The 1st time I read it, I nearly drooled on every single page🤣
love how much the season informs your reading!!
My TBR for January:
Jo's Boys - Louisa May Alcott
Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier
The Art of War - Sun Tsu
Kafka on the shore - Haruki Murakami
Virginia Woolf is my favourite author, I'm so glad you've started reading Mrs. Dalloway! Woolf's writing is very unique on a sentence structure level -- her sentences are often long and meandering, but never feel run-on because the words are so carefully chosen and arranged. Liquid sentences! I've read all her novels, most of her letters, and I'm working my way through her complete journals (I'm on vol 4 of 5).
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Mrs. Dalloway! I would recommend picking up To the Lighthouse or Orlando next.
Favourite author here too. I read all her novels 20 years ago, starting with Orlando. Then I read A Room of One's Own (that's an essay, not a novel, for anyone else reading this), then devoured everything else. I now have 32 books on my shelf that are either by her or about her (novels, essays, short stories, diaries, letters, memoir, biographies, bloomsbury stuff etc). Jacob's Room was my favourite for awhile, but I haven't re-read it in a long time. The Waves has always had a special place in my heart; when I moved to the UK for 18 mths (from Australia) it was one of two books I took with me. I plan to re-read all of her novels this year, which will be interesting, because while I've re-read a few of hers, there are some I haven't re-read since my first read through 20 years ago.
I attempted Mrs Dalloway a few months ago but it was a bit much for me. Couldn’t really get into it. Might take another crack at it in the future though…
where would you recommend starting with her and what are your favourites?
@@whataheavenlywaytolive I would start with To the Lighthouse. I love all her novels but especially The Waves, Orlando, and Night and Day.
What a gorgeous ending with the fish aquarium ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐠🐠🐠🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 Thank you for the video ❤️
A Frankenstein video essay would be so super cool!
Your eye shadow is superb! And the touch of red from your nails.... semi-Snow White minus the poisoned apple vibes.
Just want to tell you that you were one of the main people that got me back into reading and it has enriched my life so much this year! Thank you!
ah really?:') so happy for you!! wishing you the happiest year ahead
My Dark Vanessa is really good but it's so, well, dark. It's absolutely beautifully written and I 100% recommend it but I don't think I will ever re-read.
Your bookshelf is making me want to actually arrange my books better
I totally agree with this - so glad I read My Dark Vanessa but I actually had to take breaks from it at times because it was affecting my mood so much!
blue period is one of the best mangas I've ever read, it made me fall in love with being an artist all over again. the character writing is phenomenal and the art style is absolutely gorgeous.
Would love a dedicated video on Frankenstein! Starting A levels this summer and it’s one of the books assigned so your video would be incredibly helpful. Also, love watching the monthly pick outs❤️
Frankenstein is so much better than I ever expected !
Movies too, Young Frankenstein.
It really isn’t what you would expect it to be based on the pop culture idea of Frankenstein (and I mean that in the best way possible)
I woke up but I didn't wanna get out of bed just yet but then I saw this video was uploaded and got up, had breakfast and sat down to watch it. With hot tea and everything
Every month i look foward to this videos, they are part of my self care routine, i just love the whole vibe and it always makes me excited to read!!
I just finished reading Books v. Cigarettes by George Orwell. I plan to get through as many Penguin Great Ideas books as possible. I am currently reading; Slow Days, Fast Company by Eve Babitz, The Bookseller's Tale by Martin Latham, Cultish by Amanda Montell, and Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney. I have many more books that I will pick up this month, plus I have Audible, so I can listen to many of them. I have also decided to record what I read this year, which I have never done, despite being a lifelong reader. I discussed it in a blog post of mine, the somewhat narcissism/ego boost of it, and how it makes us fall into a cycle of competition.
your voice is so calming, i just want to listen to you and relax
Awww emma! I keep waiting for your videos! Youre the best. And THANKYOU.
Any visit with you is grand!
Ice Palace does sound amazing. 😍
GIRL U ARE LOOKING SPECIALLY PRETTY IN THIS VIDEO!!! u look so good with makeup on omg the eyeshadow??? SLAY!!!!!
Yes, a new Emmie video. Hope you are well, much love 💜
Love your videos so much. You’re such a calming presence
You are going to love the body keeps score. It really connected some dots for me about reoccurring depression I have experienced as an adult in August every year. It was a real ahah for me.
I love to see your TBRs. Here's mine!
My January TBR:
- Circe
- The Priory of the Orange Tree (reread)
- The Picture of Dorian Grey
- The Hate U Give
- Little Women
I love hearing from you. Whatever you say. Thanks for the videos!
I don't know if you've already done a video like this before, and I missed it, but I see so many cute plushies in the background. I think it would be really cute to see a video doing a plushie tour. We've seen you do nice bookshelf tours and plant tours. I enjoy tour videos, but I know they can be difficult and time consuming to make.
The first of Virginia Woolf's novels that I read was "Jacob's Room" which - coincidentally - was published 100 years ago. I then devoured pretty much everything that she ever wrote with the exception of "The Waves" which I'm ashamed to say I have never been able to finish! I now live about 200 metres from the ocean so perhaps ( though not exactly a beach read!) I should give "The Waves" one more try! (.P.S. Hope you liked the Bookshops Of The World calendar!)
Hi Joseph, it's Jensha here from Australia. If you are able to persevere with The Waves, it will definitely pay off. The writing towards the end of that book... oh, my heart. When I moved to the UK for 18 mths it was one of two books I took with me. I re-read it last year. I read all her novels 20 years ago. Jacob's Room (and The Waves) was my favourite for awhile. I started with Orlando, then A Room of One's Own (not a novel, I know), then devoured everything else, plus diaries, letters, essays, etc. I now have 32 books on my shelf that are either by her or about her. This year I actually plan to re-read all her novels but in chronological order which I've never done. I have only re-read a few of them since then, so it will be interesting!
This is so interesting, for me The Waves is my favourite of Virginia Woolf's novels that I have read so far - love seeing how people's tastes differ!
@@luhsea Many thanks for your comment. The Waves is most certainly near the top of my TBR list for 2022! Best wishes and kind regards.
@@circleofleaves2676 Many thanks for your encouraging comments! The Waves is near the top of my TBR list for 2022. I was born and raised in London and am fortunate enough to have literally walked in Virginia Woolf's footsteps through the streets of Bloomsbury on many occasions. With warmest best wishes for a happy and book filled New Year!
@@josephcossey1811 When I lived in London, I visited the outside of her Hyde Park Gate house where she grew up, the Gordon Square house, and the two Richmond Houses. I would have loved to visit Monks House (including the inside of course). I don't know why I didn't push myself to take that opportunity when I lived there.
I read Mrs. Dalloway at University and loved it! I wrote an essay about it that was probably my proudest accomplishment at the time.
I love that The Body Keeps the Score is on your list! I've been picking away at it myself. It's a fantastic look into the body's innate tissue memory and the impact of trauma on the subconscious... and it highlights areas of traumatic experiences that are not as recognized in mainstream psychiatric guidelines/understanding. A brilliant read and really enlightening in terms of understanding psychiatric pharmaceuticals and the medical system too. I seriously encourage everyone to read it. The book is full of true stories and accounts of trauma of all kinds (physical and mental), including sexual assault. So take care of yourself if you know you are sensitive or triggered by the subject and go easy! I myself have had to take it very slow (but it's well worth it). Really looking forward to your content this year Emma! 💫💖
I don't do monthly TBRs, but for 2022 I did set a few reading goals for myself (finish Earthsea series, read more authors from my country, reread some of my favorite books, etc.)
Your channel is already a good place emma thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ohh i loved spinning silver!! it was even better than uprooted!!
Hi Emma, I would strongly recommend Tolstoy’s “A Calendar of Wisdom,” one of his last great published works and what he considered to be his greatest contribution to humanity. It brings me joy every single day that I read it and I hope all of you guys look for it if you come across this comment. Thank you so much for inspiring me to read more meaningfully last year and I can’t wait for a new year alongside your channel. I hope it warms your heart to know how much peace and comfort you bring to so many of us. We see your passion for reading and it’s infectious. I don’t comment as often but have watched nearly all of your videos and thought I’d introduce myself: I was a double major in English and TESOL here in the states (graduated 2018 woot!) and work as a copywriter/freelance translator. I am Eastern European and some of my favorite classics include Anna Karenina, Northanger Abbey, Frankenstein, Brave New World and the Count of Monte Cristo. ❤️
The part where you were going through your shelves was great ASMR- would love to see a video like that on your ASMR channel!
Bessel Van Der Kolk’s book The Body Keeps Score is really cutting edge in the subject of how trauma manifests itself in the body. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand how trauma can affect us and treatments that make a difference.
Hi Emma! I immediately clicked and put aside all the to do list to watch this! I think I speak for so many that we are so thankful that you keep pouring this love and coziness into our lives. Happy new year to you and to everyone
It's my birthday and a new video from Emmie is the perfect gift.
I am also excited to read Frankenstein 🌸💜
It's a great book❤️
Read back in high school, one of my fav still today 💜
The House of the Spirits is wonderful, I’m glad you’re reading it this year.
I started it summer 2021 and ended up reading something else and forgetting about it, so I finished it in December and January, and I am really happy that I read it that way - it was amazing to read it over such a long period of time since a lot happens and a lot of time passes in the book. Easy 5 stars 🥰
Hey guys this is my January TBR
- The Starless Sea
- Heartless
- Six Of Crows
- Crooked Kingdom
- Little Women (reread)
Edit: I’m also rereading the first Harry Potter book (Philosophers Stone) because I’m writing a fanfic!
Wow! Can you please link the fanfic once it's out? I'd love to read a quality fanfic
@@lavan6298 I second that
Have fun with the Starless Sea! It was my favorite read of 2021 and easily became a new all time favorite :)
The ice palace is giving me bridge to terabithia vibes and now I'm intrigued
Woah, even I'll be reading Frankenstein for my Romantic Literature class, it is pretty good so far. 💓💓 I have finally added Snow Country to my February tbr and I can't wait to read it ❄❄❄
hey emma 🌱 i dont know if you know this feeling but sometimes i feel like im moving away or losing myself and your channel is one of the things that bring me back to who i am! just wanted you to know that what you do is very important to me❤️ i hope you have a great 2022💖
I started reading Blue Period because I heard it was better than the anime, and it definitely is! it's really good, I'm not doing anything related to art and it was still impactful to me, so I can imagine how it would touch someone who's invested more of their time in arts.
i read The Ice Palace because or your winter recs from last year and it is now one of my all time favorites. it was insanely good, the atmosphere was chef’s kiss
I just finished reading Greenglass House! There is so much going on you almost forget it’s set at Christmas time.
ooh maybe I'll pick it up this month anyway then!
Emmie's video & a cup of coffe = heaven
Den of Vipers was one of the worst/most traumatizing books I have ever read. I couldn't finish it. Made me feel dirty and was absolutely unhinged not in a good way. With that being said, here is my TBR for the rest of this month!!
-The Goldfinch (halfway through, she's definitely a slow one)
-Leave the World Behind
-The Picture of Dorian Gray
-The Love Hypothesis (to see what the hype is about!!!)
I got a beautiful edition of a Fitzgerald collection for Christmas with this side of paradise, tge beautiful and the damned and great Gatsby hoping to tackle it this year as my first classics
My comfort youtuber.🌻 I had a bad day yesterday and then a horrible night last night so thank you for uploading today 💞
Mrs Dalloway is a great way to start with Virginia Woolf. It was the first novel of hers I read and after reading it I fell in love with her writing.
Hello from France ! Thank you for all ! I love your videos ! Happy new year !!! 💖📚❄
Happy New Year, Emmie! Maybe I sound crazy, but after watching your videos and the debates I feel like you're a friend and a place of comfort to me
oh goodness thank you so much for leaving this comment, definitely made my night, I'm so glad! I'm so excited for you as well ah I can't wait to hear all about it, wishing you so many good things !!
Your vibe is magical . 🦋
I'm also starting the year with Mrs. Dalloway!! I read To The Lighthouse for uni and it was amazing, so I'm really excited for this one. I'm also in a faust "project", so I'll be reading the many renditions of the myth - from Marlowe to Pessoa.
The Body Keeps the Score is amazing, but I highly recommend having the audio book available as well. For those dense moments... :)
Now the year has started! ❤
aint nothin better than planning a nice fresh month of readin, jus like planning a nice fresh bowl of oatmeal.
My TBR for January:
Princess academy
a 100 days of solitude
essentialism
Little men and Jo's boys
Mistborn: the final empire(audiobook)
My January TBR :)
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Rebecca
- The Gilded Wolves
- The Picture Of Dorian Gray
Happy Reading! ~
Omg you are so pretty and the grey matching outfits! I’m thinking to cut the same hairstyle ❤
I’m obsessed with you and your videos
Hi from Transylvania, spooky dark academic! You are the one person I open UA-cam for most excitedly. Thankful that you ARE. ✨
Reading list for January:
Thomas Hardy month: Under the Greenwood Tree; A Pair of Blue Eyes; Far From the Madding Crowd; and (hopefully) The Return of the Native. Of course, I am still deciding on other novels for the rest of the reading month. 💕
I LOVE how you're wearing your comfy pjs with those gorgeous earrings! fashion icon on another level haha
And also I wish y'all a happy new you year :)
yesssss the ice palace! so good
In my gothic lit class during our Frankenstein module, we had to watch a lecture by Anne F. Mellor. In it, she argued that Victor fears female sexuality and that, by trying to appropriate the birth process (in the creation of his monster), he is trying to eliminate the need for women. Your blue tabs reminded me of her argument since your looking at the contrast between Victors creation and nurturing of life and that of the women in the story.
You should see if The Brain's Way of Healing, by Norman Doidge is something you fancy reading at some point. It's not always brain injuries, but it's about the neuroplasticity of the brain in many different conditions and how we can use that to heal so many brain-related things. It's really accessible and I loved his writing style. :)
I started The Three Body Problem a couple days ago and I’m loving it so much I can already tell this series is going to be one I constantly talk about for years
That series is sooo good. If you like that first book, I highly recommend going for The Dark Forest and Death's End straight after.
Likewise sounds amazing... I'm going to check that out! I have several favorite authors who's work I am coming to the end of, and would love to find more.
greenglass house is so good!! i read it in a book camp in middle school before it officially came out! so good ☺️
Hi everyone this is my tbr for January 🌼
The prince and the pauper
The Bell Jar
A Little princess
Atomic habits
Anne at green gables
Goodbye and keep cold
i’ve said this already under some of ur other videos but i’ll say it again i think ur content is lovely. this is truly a comfortable space u’ve made here and the way to talk ab literature has always been so nice to listen to. ik i only know u as a fan of ur videos but i very much would like to be homies 😭
i don't put alot of pressure on myself when it comes to reading so i only have two goals this year: finish 30 books and (all thanks to emma!) finally start reading some classics 💕✨
If you haven't already read a German book for your around the world read I highly recommend reading a Hans Fallada novel. My favorite is Every Man Dies Alone.
love the fresh start!!
The app is not available in Europe it seems.
Oooh, I hope you get Spinning Silver soon! I read it last month and LOVED it! Last night I finished the "Shadow and Bone" trilogy - quick YA read, quite imaginative, with great twists - and today started a religious history book I want to finish before I read "S" on your recommendation. Hopefully the library copy has all the inserts, LOL!
I love to read recreationally but also want it to be edifying, you know what I mean? So I try to intersperse non-fiction in among the fantasy. My recent favorite non-fiction is a WWII memoir called "A Higher Call", about a damaged American bomber that made it back to England because a German fighter escorted it past the Atlantic wall and out to sea. It recounts the soldiers' histories, and how they reconnected 40 years later. It was phenomenal!
Omg, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who struggles to decide what to read next because there's so many options 😅 I'm currently actively reading One Last Stop, The Poppy War, and The Bloody Chamber, and I have a bookmark in The Priory of the Orange Tree, Love's not Color Blind, and Death Note. I have currently sorted my bookshelves by read, priority tbr and whenever, but that's only the tip of the iceberg because most of my books are on my ereader. And as much as I love my ereader, picking books from there always feels a bit like picking recipes without pictures.
I'm screaming!!! I'm so glad you owned a book of blue period, I recommend a book from Soseki Natsume "I am a cat" I have a good laugh for every page!♡
I think Mrs Dalloway is a good intro to Woolf. It’s the style she’s famous for, but not as difficult as To the Lighthouse or The Waves. Try to read Cunningham’s The Hours too
I started reading Virginia Wolf with Mrs. Dalloway too!☺️ I enjoyed it and definitely will be reading more from her. To the lighthouse is next!))
love a fresh tbr, so exciting to see if it'll be a fun reading month! xoxo
I love Virginia Woolf's novels. I read At the lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway at the end of last year. I'm amazed! I plan to read in January The Hours by Michael Cunningham.
I loved Mrs. Dalloway-how it shows that you don’t have to be doing anything grand with your life for it to be meaningful. Or maybe that all the details of everyone’s life are what makes every life grand.
I can’t wait for you to read Greenglass House!! I think you should definitely save it for Christmas. It’s set during winter vacation so I think it’ll feel more magical :)
EARLY AHHH!! Sitting down with a granola bar and an orange to enjoy this video ❤❤
Finishing up The Box in the Woods right now, and hoping to get to a few Zelda graphic novels as a warm hug and finish the month with Turtles All the Way Down! I've been wanting to read it for so long.
Emma, do you think you could do a video showing us some ideas on how to annotate books? I’d like to do it on some of my classics as I read them but could use some pointers! ☺️
I just got a Jules Verne box set after watching the new Around the World in 80 Days adaptation/reimagining rekindled my childhood obsession and I'm about to start rereading the book. 😊
Tender is the Flesh is sooo good. I just finished it. TW for sexual aggression & gruesome content but it was amazing. The commentary is A+
Love Yeats ! Thank you and Frankenstein is absolutely wonderful.
I can tell it's gonna be a good month
Happy new year! This might sound silly but watching how passionate you are about reading has really changed my way of tackling a book. It feels like I'm going on an exciting new journey and I'm getting so so much more out of reading now. I'm so excited to begin new books but also tackle old loves (in particular War and Peace + One hundred years of solitude!) Thank you so much, Emma.
I associate science fiction with January so that’s where my main focus will be this month! Happy reading 📖
me too! I wonder why haha but hope you pick up some good ones!
