The way you flip through the pages and tap the covers 😌 so satisfying…I know you have an ASMR channel but even your regular videos have the tingles…you’re clearly a natural
hi emma! another "eating" book i think you might like is "the particular sadness of lemon cake" by aimee bender. one of my favorite books ever, tons of magical realism, i think you might enjoy it a lot!
@@maryvandehei just popping in to say that if you enjoy literature with elements of baking and cutlery then you might wanna check out “sweet bean paste” by Tetsuya Akikawa!
I watch your videos everytime I do my night time skin care routine. I am having my last book haul of the year as well. We have our city's largest book fair going on and I have been trying to get my hands on as many as possible. The unread books in my shelf will possibly reach 100 by the end of the year
one book I highly recommend is The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It's a debut novel and starts out as a slow read, but once you get into it, you can't put it down. It's about 3 generations of historians (more or less) who realize that Dracula is still alive and they try to hunt him down.
I recommend this allll the time and never see anyone else talk about it! I’m glad someone else loves it as much as I do. I first read it in high school right when The Twilight movie was being made and felt it was so so superior to Twilight.
I have recently learned that the only way I can focus on academic work is by having your videos playing the background. You have the most soothing voice and I really appreciate all of your videos that are helping me through finals right now!
i am alone at the dorm, it's very dark and sad outside, and i am still in melancholic and sad mood since thursday. very lost in life, very behind in school and i have a broken heart by someone who i never dated, lol. this video feels like warm hug from a good friend. your voice in the background while i'm doing school is very comforting and i feel like i am safe and at home ♥
Hello from France ! I catch up some videos from December and OMG I love letters to a young poet. I read it fir the first time when I was in highschool and I read it again recently. I love it. It's magic. You need this I'm sure. Everyone need this. We live troubled time and this book is like some fresh air and more than that ! I highly recommend!
Ok so I’ve been trying to read through the Bible (not for any religious reasons, but out of an unfortunate sense of masochism and a desire to find all the biblical monsters) and Dinah’s chapter is one of the few chapters I actually enjoyed because of the ridiculous (and successful) plan her brothers come up with as vengeance. I keep telling the story to all my friends, I’m glad to see the author also agrees with my fascination
that dress is so ethereal I love it! also I recently finished my first katee robert book (not neon gods) and i wasn't blown away but i'm interested in reading more from her so I'll probably try Neon Gods too!
Ahhh we studied Cloudstreet by Tim Winton in school and ever since I've been trying to read all his books. The writing is excellent, the metaphors are many and the characters are nuanced and complex (including the house)! I'm Australian so this book really hit home for me, I hope you enjoy it :)
I hope your dress came out ok! I would be too scared to put it in the machine :/ Your bookcases have inspired me to create my own little home library. I have ordered the bookcases and they arriving end of January and in the meantime we are repainting the room jade green and just going whole hog into making the perfect little home library :D
Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos. I greatly appreciate the book recommendations. I hope you have a happy holiday season. I love love the Oscar Wilde dress. From the bottom of my heart many thanks for making 2021 a better year!
you and your oscar wilde dress look STUNNING. i've been screaming about a dowry of blood ever since i finished reading it. i hope you enjoy it, too! also less than zero is really dark. it has strong secret history vibes sans the dark academia thing.w
Ah Emma you look great! I’d love to hear you talk about the Secret History. Ik you mentioned that you didn’t like it before and I’d love to hear your take
Emma hi! Great video & selection of books, as always! Thanks for the inspiration! 🥰 By the way in a wolf for a spell, Zima means winter (from Russian). Hugs from cold Vienna, Austria!
So interesting that you guys watched Schindler's List in high school. I think a lot of German classes here do that as well, but mine never did. The description on the back is a bit misleading, though. There were people who saved more Jewish lives in WWII. In particular a Swedish diplomat called Raoul Wallenberg, who later died in a USSR prison. The history nerd in me just needed to mention that, haha. Also, Neon Gods sounds really good. Never really read much romantic fiction myself, but now I'm getting interested, thanks to you 👀
Hey Emma, I’m from Newfoundland and it’s really lovely here, but at times the weather can be a little extreme. The nature here is incredible, I might be a little biased but others from outside of Newfoundland have said that to me as-well. Being in nature is my favorite thing and Newfoundland is the place to be for that.
The myth of Hades and Persephone is my absolute favourite and "Neon Gods" sounds really promising 🤩 thanks for this recommendation Emma 😊 I have one for you, too: The Swarm from Frank Schätzing.
Less Than Zero was a very interesting book that honestly felt like a fever dream and got more intense the more I went on. Easton Ellis is a great writer and honestly enjoyed this book more than American Psycho and felt it did more to fit the theme of what American Psycho was trying to say than American Psycho did. Super fast read and interesting. Loved your video as always and LOVE the dress
Frist, this dress is gorgeous and you look so pretty with it💙 Second, thanks again for these videos i will never stop saying this because it will never be enough, your channel is my comfort zone and i always find a new video from you when i'm sad or have a busy day, just love you and loved this video 💙💙💙
Oooo so exciting you are getting more into romance. It’s a fun genre. I would like to hear the tropes and vibes you like and are looking for. I have always generally liked the romance genre, but I have read more of it this year than any other. If you haven’t read The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood I definitely recommend. It’s super hyped, but I think it was well worth the hype in my opinion.
Hey Emma. Could be a crazy coincidence but I ordered and sent you The Gatewatch from Crowsnest books. I love it, it’s one of my favourites. I’m based in the UK and it wasn’t available here to send so I had to order locally to you. I hope that you enjoy it x
I know you've done videos on it so you're aware, but your fashion sense is like a book come to life. Like a human book if that makes sense! Love your aesthetic so much!
I am beyond looking forward to hearing your thoughts on A Dowry of Blood !! It’s easily my favourite book I’ve read this year~ I hope you love it too !!
Hey, Emma! Thank you so much for this video!! Loved the books, lobed your dress and outfit in general. You're just so special... As for the recommendations, I would love to mention "The House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende. I'm somewhere on page 63 currently, but I already love it! Reminds me of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" so much. Definitely going to continue with this book💛🌻 Actually, I wanted to leave a comment under your previous video(which is officially one of my faves), but something eventually stopped me from doing this Anyways, all I wanted to say is thank you. Thank you for your sunlit personality☀️ So happy 200.000 people now know about your existence. It's an extremely pleasant feeling. Also, your reaction to snow is precious🥺💞 As a person, who lives in a specifically snowy region, I can relate so much. Take care of yourself and have some perfect Christmas and New Year time💚❤🐌❄ You deserve it so much
I spilled coffee on my jeans on my way to work one morning. Couldn't turn around, couldn't rinse the coffee out in a timely manner. Coffee doesn't mess around 😂
Bret Easton Ellis finished Less Than Zero while a student at Bennington College. One of his writing professors there was Joe McGinniss. It has been widely reported that McGinniss suggested to Ellis that he change the narration from third- to first-person. And it has widely rumored that McGinniss had a lot more than that to do with its writing. Apparently, Donna Tartt and Jonathan Lethem were also students at Bennington during Ellis's time there. Wild.
Hello beautiful Emma Would really love to send you all the volumes of Proust’s- In Search of lost time. If you don’t already have them of course. But I see you have your hands full haha. Hopefully, one of these days we get to hear you speak on this beautiful work of literature. Love your videos. Keep up the great work 👍
Your Oscar Wilde 👗 is to die for. Love it on you. I almost choked on my hot tea 🍵 with the COFFEE COLOSSAL COLLISION 💥. 😩 I get stuff on me when I wear an APRON. I use a tablecloth for a bib (kidding) but I was so concerned about that coffee. Glad it wasn't worse. My half sister was the ONLY one I ever knew could B-B-Q in white denim skirt and white loafers with bbq SAUCES and flip burgers WITH NO APRON OR EVEN NAPKINS AND NEVER GET ONE SPOT ON HER. I could wear a hasmat suit w vent system and get a drop of something on me. Yes. As long as the ONLY offering is H2O. Me good. Luv ya, sweetie. Your my bbb. (bookish bestie bud or bosom book bud)🇺🇲🇨🇦📚🌎
I finished A Dowry of Blood a few days ago and LOVED IT!!!!! 🥰❤️ Make sure to check out the epilogue (An Encore of Roses) on the author’s website afterwards!
You and your continuous updates are single-handedly saving the most stressful month of the year 👏👏🤓 you're the real MVP 🥨🥨🥨🥨 (that's a bretzel but also a heart)
I thought the bed canopy was a veil and that the books were a wedding bouquet 💀💀 And with my eyes honing in on ‘romance’ in the title, I didn’t even question it 😂
THE DRESS THE BOW THE EARRINGS- THIS OUTFIT IS STUNNING😍😍😍
Absolutely
Literally woke up and thought “it’d be so nice to start my day with a new Emma video” and got on and saw you had just posted 🥺
Same!
“i can’t fit this in my pockets because i am a woman” 😭😭 i felt this
Our erudite hostess looks so nice in her Oscar Wilde dress and cool earrings!
"i can't fit this in my pocket because I am a woman" literally you made my day bestie I love you
The way you flip through the pages and tap the covers 😌 so satisfying…I know you have an ASMR channel but even your regular videos have the tingles…you’re clearly a natural
sending love to everyone on this december day!! take care of yourself and i hope everything goes well for you 🤍💙
To you as well!💜
hi emma! another "eating" book i think you might like is "the particular sadness of lemon cake" by aimee bender. one of my favorite books ever, tons of magical realism, i think you might enjoy it a lot!
Ooo is it similar to sourdough by robin sloan? I adore that book

@@demonchildofwar I honestly saw my crush in high school reading it and didn't actually start reading it until I got to college.
Her other book, The Swan Theives, is really good as well.
A note on A Wolf For a Spell: the main character's name, Zima, is the Slavic word for winter.
yees, it's winter in our country (Slovakia)! zima! that's so cool ♥

That coffee mug makes me so anxious, why do you do this 😭
thank you for making my 2021 better, emma! you have created a safe haven here in yt. you deserve all the love and more 🤍🤍
less than zero was my book! hope you enjoy it emma, it's one of the darkest and most grounded yet stylish novels i've ever read.
“Meesa don’t know” killed me 😂😂
You were looking for Otoh Gunga
It has been a busy day today, I am gonna watch this and rewind, thank you Emma 💕💕

Jar Jar Binks impressions while wearing a wedding dress! Doesn't get any better than that!
"a dowry of blood" is so good!!!! so happy you're reading it:)
That’s a great dress. Love a good medley of books. The Red Tent is one of my all time faves. 😊💙
A Wolf for a Spell was the kind of book I just hugged when I finished it.
I’m obsessing over your table lamp in the background. I just spent 20 minutes trying to find it online, I did not succeed lol.
I googled "lamps with trees on shade" and found some similar...
you and your videos never fail to make me feel better, no matter the day or how i’m feeling. so thank you♥️
that dress is so ethereal I love it! also I recently finished my first katee robert book (not neon gods) and i wasn't blown away but i'm interested in reading more from her so I'll probably try Neon Gods too!
emma you look ETHEREAL in your oscar wilde dress!! thank goodness you saved it from the coffee spillage, i’ve been in the same boat many a time

"it was whispering my name: emma...emma buy me"
"So I bought it"
When you whispered *Emma! Emma, buy me!* I was spooked because my name is Emma too 🤣
Emma, love your new books (I read The Red Tent and i liked it ), but your dress is a dream! ✨✨
Frist, this dress is gorgeous and you look so pretty with it💙

Love you, your dresses, and your recommendations!
I’m reading a few of Rilke’s works for uni and I wish I had your enthusiasm 😂
wow your dress is so pretty
So happy you got into romance this year!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I enjoyed neon gods.
watching this as midnight rolls around❣️ (its my birthday!!)
very interested to hear what you think about neon gods! i read it a couple of months ago and it was interesting... 🤣😭
That dress makes you look like you stepped out of a fairytale! It was time we had a canadian Disney princess 😂😂😂
Less than Zero was actually made into a movie in the mid-late 80s. I remember going to see it as a teenager.
"Ughh moral depravity" - that bit really cracked me up!!
