    I started watching you on your beauty channel and was really excited when I found out about your book channel because makeup and books are 2 of my great obsessions and I must say that your english has improved a lot in the last few years! :)

    The Fifteen Lives of Harry August sounds so good, I'll have to pick that up soon. I also think the covers of the Darker Shade of Magic series are gorgeous

  • @antoneladiana
    @antoneladiana 7 років тому

    I read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August this year and I thought the concept was super intresting but I was sometimes bored by the stories that intertwined with the main plot line. I felt like too many words were used for things that could have been shorter, but I liked it fine anyway. I'm definitely adding The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet to my TBR!

    I'm not a romance fan either. At all. I try (occasionally succeeding, but often failing) to find fantasy books that have little to no romance in them. And I was planning to pass on The Kiss of Deception because it looked like it was going to have too much romance for my taste, but you made me want to check it out. It sounds like it's not going to be the overly sappy/angst-ridden/pining type of romance, and there is an intriguing premise, so I think I may be able to tolerate it. I'll have to check my local library for it next time I'm there. Thanks for this recap!

    @jazzey19921 7 років тому

    Your review on The conjuring of light discourages me to read the book 😔 I bought the book when it came out! 😭 I expected so much from the series, I've fallen in love with Kell and Lilah and Lilah's story, I don't wanna read it 'cause I just don't wanna end up disappointed in the end 😔

    I always trust your recommendations, net book I'll read will be the Kiss of déception !
    At thé moment I'm listening the second book in a Song Of Ice and Fire, (I forgot the name 😂😂😂) I know you had a hard time to read GoT maybe try via Audible ! It is still confusing sometimes but it's easier then reading it !
    My favorite book was the second book in thé trilogie of The Gentlemen Bastards ! You should really give a shot to The Lies of Lock Lamora ! :D

  • @yai627yeac

    My favorite book that I read between April and May was The Chemist by Stephanie Meyer. Love your videos and recomendations btw. 😊💕

    • @yai627yeac
      @yai627yeac 7 років тому +1

      LaMesha Hale I read it quite fast (well fast for what I'm used to 😅) and for my point of view is really good. Some parts, mainly the first 3 chapters (I think), and maybe some of them (like 3 more but not in sequence) are kind of slow too. Buy if you enjoy mistery/thriller/action books you'll like it. And if you like chemistry and biology (or at least know something) it will be a entertaining read. Sorry if I misspelled something, not my first language. Hope you read it and enjoy it. 😊

    • @yai627yeac
      @yai627yeac 7 років тому +1

      LaMesha Hale is not full of it but you'll find some things. You're welcome.

  • @katarinahybenova4845
    @katarinahybenova4845 7 років тому

    Emily, my by far most favorite book this year was an adult book that nobody talks about on Booktube, but it's the best most amazing book ever. It's called Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfar. It is literary fiction with sci fi elements, it deals with solitude, ambition, past, there is one surprisingly wise and adorable space spider. And it was just such a perfect book I can't even. oh, also the author is just on tour in Paris! 🌃🚀

  • @dominickalder2977
    @dominickalder2977 7 років тому

    The Female of Species was so good. I loved it. I'm reading The Fifteen Lives of Harry August now (per your recommendation) but I'm not liking it much. I was interested in the premise but the plot couldn't hold my attention.

  • @natasama1069

    magician by Raymond E. Feist. This is a high fantasy published in 1982. It is the first part of a trilogy, but you more or less miss a second story if you only read Magician. It can be read as a standalone, with a more than satisfyjing ending.
    The sequels are really good to. Classic epic fantasy in the style of the Lord of the Rings
    I also really liked the Mistborn trilogy (the first one and the beginning of the alloy of law too, I havent listened to the entire second trilogy yet, just took a peak)

    Me again! I am one of those people who is okay with love triangles, but I see them the way you do "Omg, which hot guy do I choose, both want me! This is terrible!" That's the impression I get with Twilight. I saw The Female of the Species at the library, but wasn't in the mood.

    • @BookswithEmilyFox
      @BookswithEmilyFox  7 років тому +2

      I'm sure you will love it! I was just disappointed with Lila's character... instead of being more developed as the series goes on, she ended up becoming a caricature and just being a "badass"...

    • @marystuart83
      @marystuart83 7 років тому

    If you're looking for a fantasy with political plots and a strong female main character check out Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. It's a historical fantasy set in a world like Renaissance France, and the heroine is an orphan turned prostitute who uses her preferred talents and intelligence to spy. It's pretty long, but very well written and engaging. There's an element of myth and magic as well.

    • @suepellerin
      @suepellerin 7 років тому +1

      Such a great book! One of my all-time favourite series (though, admittedly, it was difficult to keep going with the third book at times).

    • @Kellas_Kat
      @Kellas_Kat 7 років тому

      Yes, such great world building and characters! I had a tough time getting into the second one because the first third, I think, was all slow set up, but I did love where it ended up.

  • @imene2784

  • @Mothballzzz
    @Mothballzzz 7 років тому

    I have been listening to the remnant chronicles on audio and, while the readers are excellent, I regret that decision. The number of times that author can use the expressions "I spun" and "my stomach churned" is staggering. I've spent much of my listening time rolling my eyes and the protagonist becomes almost unbearable in book three. She is a spoiled brat and I am constantly annoyed with her; but it may have something to do with the way the reader is interpreting her. While it's not a bad book, it's made me decide I am never listening to YA on audio again; i think its weaknesses are less apparent when you're speed-reading it than when it's read out loud.
