Drunk Emma declaring her love for us at the end of this video is everything to me 😂
YES! lol
tipsy emma is something i never knew i needed lmao
Literally 😩✋
This was the most adorable thing ive ever seen
"Best believe he's still bejeweled when he walks into the room." -- I love you, Emma.
I SCREAMED
I laughed out loud but then remembered I was at work and I probably shouldn’t so I don’t have to explain myself 😂😂😂
Emma getting tipsy and trashing books is the energy I am happy to bring with me into 2023, haha.
“Control alt delete that thought” no way is that a real line in Rock Paper Scissors 😂😂😂 thank god I never bought this. Loved the reviews!
You are everywhere wtf
@@lauraa07777 I’M SAYING. I see her in non book-related and/or just completely random videos
@@sweetestaphrodite yesss
@@lauraa07777 ikr hahahahahahahaha
I will never forget how much I’ve laughed while you were reading “The Kingdom…”!
It was a time I’ll never forget🥲
2:53 sjm has that issue in all her books, they’re all really bad and written the same💀 in her other series she has characters that are just “so powerful” and are considered the most powerful people ever but does she really show why they are that powerful? Naur. That’s just one example 😭😭
SJM books are ridiculous in so many ways. I don’t know why but I found this series impossible to put down even though I objectively know they where bad, a complete guilty pleasure
@@martinjrgensen8234 no literally though. I guess that’s one “good thing” about SJM, when I first read the acotar series I thought it was the best thing ever I was completely in love, until I started reading it again, They really are books you never realise are trash until you really think abt it.
+ all the characters and couples and whiteness and dramatic-but-somehow-stale hetero smut in her books i just 💀 at some point i lost the capacity to care completely
@@jagger5392 because ppl don't have the right to write hetero smut or what??
"This book felt like Tumblr" has to be the best blurb ever.
The siren sound at 33:05 made it even funnier. Rest in pieces Gothikana. Tipsy Emma has slayed.
"It's my bones. It's the creaky bones... Not a lot of calcium in here." I can't stop laughing at that. Omg.😂
🕯️You opening the video in this dimly lit library already sets the tone about how drab the books are gonna be! The literal mental gymnastics I went thru with some of the worst books I read in 2022! “Entrails” better be in here Emma 😂 and the sad Formula One book! 🍷
I am happy to say that I only had one book that I considered the worst. 2022 was a good reading year! ❤
Lmfaoo exactly. I love her recs but there’s something about her worst books that I just love 😅❤
@@LexieMoon321 that's awesome lexie!! You got nice and lucky this year!! 😄
@@khalilahd. 🤣💜 congrats on 10k Khalilah saw that recently 👏🙌
Haha incidentally the formula one book was the one I forgot to mention!! Happy new year beautiful💙
"Actually my bones aren't that silent! Listen" *proceeds to crack every single joint* I swear I spit and spilled all my water while watching that.
Had a roomie in grad school. She was this 6 foot red head studying biochem. Her thing was to have 2 glasses of wine while watching all the medical shows on Wednesday night (ER, Grey's Anatomy). One Wednesday, she had three glasses of wine and a little bit of truth came out. You see, as a biochem lab assistant , she had access to some of the deadliest pathogens known to man. On this one particular wine infused Wednesday night, she declared with overmuch enthusiasm "I could kill soooooooo many people."
When covid came out, my first instinct was to wonder if she was involved somehow.
She's prolly deadlier than the assassin with a zero bodycount.
I randomly got recommended this video. Honestly I feel like I've just found a new favorite youtuber. You are so funny and I can't. You are a treasure
ah amazing welcome! haha thank you so much
Face blindness is actually a very interesting syndrome! People with face blindness can't recognize the faces of those they love or often their own faces. Some also can't connect faces to celebrities or important people, but patients never seem to realize why they can't recognize people. However, they do use other cues (like clothes and body shape) to recognize people. If someone can't recognize their mom's face, they might see her shirt and infer that it's their mom because they know it's their mom's shirt, and why would someone else wear her shirt? Very interesting stuff!!
I have some face blindness. I don’t think it’s that uncommon among autistic people, which I am.
From what I understand, it might be because we don’t look at someone’s whole face as one “item,” so it’s hard to recognize people, especially outside of the environment where we normally see them.
I once wasn’t sure if someone I saw at the mall was my dad, so I snuck away until the rest of my family gathered with him so I could recognize them as a group. I try to notice what people are wearing, but I sometimes forget to take a mental note of it.
I had a brain tumor (I'm fine!) But as a side effect I have partial facial blindness. I failed a facial recall test so badly the therapist thought I was lying. It takes FOREVER to remember a face (like a coworker) and if they have too similar features I will mix them up constantly. Like 2 thin pale brunettes with brown eyes I will mix them up all the time if I have no distinct feature to latch my mind onto.
Like, watching "the departed" i literally couldnt tell the 2 main characters were 2 different actors so I was SO confused watching it. I do recognize a face as a face, and they are familiar after a prolonged time, but its... odd. Especially since I didn't have it my whole life it happened when I was 19
Edit: this problem has been EXTRA fun with all the masks during covid lol
I have face blindness as well! But only a mild form. I can recognise people, but it takes me a rather long time to start recognising faces. Things like piercings etc really help me distinguish people as well 😊
@@AnneleenRoesems If it's in an unfamiliar setting or they don't speak - good luck. Funny though is that I was able to recreate some people in the Sims (3) pretty accurately, but I'd have to look at a picture for every single feature individually, and it would have to be the same picture, with little to no smile. I have bad vision in general, though.
emma struggling to remember the word "roadtrip" was somehow the cutest thing. 🥺 emoji irl
Hahaha I laughed so hard! “I’m struggling to form a thought, and so is this book”. Savage 😂❤ More tipsy Emma please
“she belongs in shutter island” ASDFGHJKL ORBITING IN SPACE 🤭🤭🤭 this video is already a masterpiece not even 5 minutes in
you want actual good mystery thrillers, you go to Agatha Chrities my girl. I highly recommend "Death on the Nile". One of my forever favorites.
Ah yes love that one!!
lol, Artemis was such a chore you had to roast it for three videos straight 😅
Happy new year, Emmie ❤
Thank you for confirming that I made a good decision with DNFing Rock Paper Scissors a few months ago🥴😭 I’m sorry you went through that
I also read skyward this year (got it from the library because I'm a big Brandon Sanderson fan, only realised later it was young adult) and I definitely understand your dislike for it. I do however think it is almost infinitely better than throne of glass, if only because unlike Sanderson, Maas actually seems to believe her main character when she's going on about how she could kill everyone in the room. (Also, and I may be in the minority here, I thought Spensa's over the top threats were kind of funny)
I listened to the audiobook and It felt like was listening to a tv. The narrator definitely did a good job selling the thoughts and motivations of the characters. Which is why I liked book personally.
Sanderson is fun. But I needed to readjust my expectations. Definitely not Faulkner type of literature but so much fun! Especially Stormlight and Mistborn!
Reading the Secret Project One at the moment, it’s so entertaining!
i also think its funny. spensa is a bit insane and i love it but i also love to see her growing in each book
The Kingdom of little wounds may be a terrible book, but it was funny to watch everything that happened while you read
Thank you for blessing us with this video 😅❤ 10/10. Do recommend.
(Also drunk Emma talking about how much she loves us is just the freaking sweetest 🥺😭)
Your tipsy giggles at Gothikana were something I didn't know I needed today hahaha.
i feel so close to you! thanks emma, literally please (!!!!) never stop doing what you do and being what you are
Your first statement on The Kingdom has me laughing while I eat my breakfast.....choking hazard. Hilarious. Love this video, as usual! ❤
Always doomed to talk about that one when people are eating 😂
@@emmiereads Ha!!! Of course! 😂
Emma, your videos bring me so much joy! Happy New Year! im so excited for 2023 with so many more videos. I think my absolute worst book of 2022 was it ends with us by colleen hover.. but the midnight library was also not a good one xD
also drunk Emma declaring her love - I needed that today! Love You Emma
I am so here for the Skyward slander! I read it 2 years ago and it took me 2 MONTHS to finish😩 I seen Gothikana on netgalley the other day, I might request to hate read because I NEED TO KNOW but do not want to spend money on it. “I’m struggling to form a thought and so was this book” LMAO
We may never forget the first Kingdom of Little Wounds video 😅
My worst books of the year:
-Weaver, Trish Thawer (received an arc, it sucked)
-Are You Listening, Tillie Walden
-Midnight in Everwood, Maria Kuznair
The protagonist of Throne of Glass is that one guy you never want in your D&D party - makes his character the ultimate deviant art rogue whos simultaneously an ultra badass whos great at everything but also the underdog with a tragic backstory who you should feel sorry for, they then spend the entire campaign acting cocky and bragging about how they could get through any task but never contributes to solving actual problems in the slightest.
If you liked the thought of the kingdom of little wounds, maybe try The discomfort of evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld. I haven't read little wounds but your description made me think of Mariekes book. Also has that kinda uncomfortable vibe, body functions and heavy topics, but is very beautifully written!
Honestly the Skyward section really assuaged my forgotten shame in never having finished it (because it was super boring) but I thought I was the problem since everyone heralds Brandon Sanderson as the best author ever (at least in my circle of friends and family) I have just not been able to get very deeply invested in his work! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one lmao
honestly valid. as someone who does mainly enjoy most of Sanderson's works. skyward was always the hardest for me to read, it took me nearly a year to finish the most recent one and w/ Sanderson i either read a book in a week or it take me years (I'm not exaggerating).
@@emezai i relate to this. i liked his fantasy work so i had a good feeling when i started reading skyward but it was just..not worth it…
This reminded me how much I loved listening to you talk about Kingdom!
My fave Artemis moment: "you can't kick me off the moon because there's next to no narcotics on the Moon because I'm the one who smuggles stuff to the Moon and I don't smuggle narcotics, so if you kick me off someone else will start smuggling instead of me and they will probably also smuggle drugs."
Mind fucking blown.
just incredible stuff
Made me cross Skyward off my TBR list. Also I like the lighting on this show.
Amazing 🍷🍷 Love the year end book bash!!! With all due respect 🤣
I just love this video and the ambiance. It feels soo cozy.
Hi Emma, one friend of mine recommended your channel to me and I find your voice very peaceful to listen to so I could not stop listening for the whole afternoon.
I'm not a native English speaker, but I learnt grammar at school. It makes me wonder how bad it is to have so many grammatic mistakes and kind of want to read "Gothikana". (just kidding, I don't have patience in reading English in general and I can count with my fingers how many books in English I have read. I like writing though... )
Emma, you somehow inspired me on reading and I hope I can keep up with reading books this year.
Cheers
happy new year, i love how even drunk you're probably more eloquent than i could ever be hahah
Love the aesthetic of this video so cozy 🥰
ALSO I hated tog too when I read it last year, I questioned the sanity of booktok when they hyped it to the point of no return, it was more of a "oh I have two guys fawning over me let's go pretend to be a princess and play with their feelings but OH NO I have a tournament tomorrow!" There was 0 of the badass girl they had told me I'd meet it was so painful 😩
Hey Emma - Have you read any Ursula K Le Guin? If you are still looking for winter reads I reco the Left Hand of Darkness. Would love to hear your thoughts on it! It's my favourite.
I need some bloopers of what you edited out😂
I love you too Emma, drunk but preferably sober lol Listening your bones crack was terrifying lol
I have not read any of these novels, thankfully, I give novels 3 chapters, then ditch them if they send me in the direction of substance abuse because there is so so much to read.
Happy New Year Emma xx
Hey Emma, this is my first time leaving a comment but have been a long time watcher of the channel! Couldn’t help leave a mystery thriller recommendation for you when I saw you talked about how you’re not a fan of those plot twists. I have the same problem with thrillers and almost always gave those a three stars rating. The only one I gave a five star rating is “the alienist”. It is quite graphic and brutal, but the criminology and psychology behind the story is so good. Some of the characters are legit scientists, so they approach the case in a research kind of way which I found so refreshing! Hope you will pick it up someday. And just want to say thank you for the amazing contents you put out.
Watching one video never brought me so much joy, literally would be the best friend in the whole world 😂❤
That was the best scudding review video that i've seen this year.
And we love you too, Emma.
NOT THAT TAYLOR REFERENCE AHHH THAT WAS UNEXPECTED!!!
I loved this video and the energy so much
This was somehow more wholesome and sweet that it had any right to be! Happy new year!
I don't read that much (I don't got the time most of the day 😭)
But your videos are so chill and awesome you really brighten my day especially when I'm currently struggling to keep it together. 💕
"she belongs in shutter island" LOL
Oh man, I read Daisy Darker at the end of 2022 and it was so crazy and so much fun that I decided I need another Alice Feeney, and I was wrong. All her writing is exactly the way you describe, it's so weird, this faux profundity. Thank you for the video!
Regarding Silence of Bones, I enjoyed June Hur's other book The Red Palace way more. Both books can be difficult to understand for people unfamiliar with Korean society at that time. I definitely consider The Red Palace more dynamic than Silence of Bones. Everything you said about Throne of Glass was my issue with it. People told me that by the third book it gets good. I'm not reading three books to get why people love that series so much.
That is so cool - the competition you described “in a castle, the last one surviving is the best assassin” - I would totally read that book. I’m not into gore, but a clever YA/fantasy book with that tournament would be interesting. Also would buy the book where it turns out she is in asylum and everyone is humoring her 😂 but then she actually gets out 😂
Tbh I so knew gothikana was going to be number 1 after watching your reading vlog of it 😭. I 100% agree with you, i had to dnf that book at like 50/60 percent 💀
Truly amazing, drunk Emma reviews are an instant classic 💯
Thank you for the Feeney review. If I would have read it and had gotten tothe dog missing part, I would have discontinued it at that point If my dog goes missing, that would be my focus and wouldn't do anything else until I found my dog. Thanks for preventing me from wasting my time on the Feeney book!
I was starting to worry we wouldn't be getting this video this year. Thank you, Emmie!
Emma you are the best. Happy reading 2023.
"I'm struggling to form a thought, and so was this book." I love it.
We need more drunk Emma.Тhis is one of the funniest videos I've seen on this platform 😂
I do not read a lot of Sanderson so I am not familiar with most of his work. However, the only three I've read is a trilogy and it happens to be one of my favorite trilogies, Mistborn. I am pretty sure that is what has been recommended to you the most by him haha I hope one day you'll give it a chance!
Haha yes I will definitely still give that one chance!!
"this book reminded me of tumblr" knocked me tf out
I haven't read any of these but Skyward is/was on my tbr and I appreciate this breakdown cause I definitely would've been annoyed if I read it without knowing about the Twist or whatever.
Tumblr in book form sounds like a chore to get through.
Happy New Year! Tipsy Emma makes me giggle. My worst book of 2022 was Of Mice and Men. I still want to try more Steinbeck, but that one did nothing for me. Also, I didn't want to admit it in your previous videos, but Artemis is actually on my shelf. It was gifted to me, and I now I really don't want to read it lol.
maybe try The Pearl? it is quite short
@@jmsl910 I hadn't heard of that one, thank you. I plan to try Cannery Row since it's also short, and then East of Eden because I've heard such good things.
These books may not deserve five-star reviews… but drunk Emma sure does. 🤣❤ By the end I could not stop laughing.
…
I’m also lowkey tempted to read Kingdom of Little Wounds now 👀
"... but none of you have feathers anyway" 😂😂 that really got me
emma!! i felt nostalgic bc of nostalgia about Shivers in your last video and so i got it on my kindle and ate it up in a day🥲🥲 i literally have never read or liked books about werewolves or vampires and stuff, but you spoke so beautifully and lovingly about shivers that i wanted to experience it myself… its not bad at all. i wish i had read it when i was younger😅 idk how people can dislike it, as you said. anyways. just wanted to let you know that i appreciated reading shivers bc of your nostalgic review of it❤️
Awe that makes me so happy, so wonderful that you liked it:’)
Tipsy Emma is something everyone needs in their life. So thankful for having gotten to witness this 😂 Also, you're so sweet, when you're drunk 🥺
these vids are great bcs spoilers don't even matter
I DNF'd Throne of Glass in 2018. I also couldn't stand how the entire time the main character kept being referred to as "small".
Great job, Emma! Happy New Year!!! (I also watched the stream lol)
End of this video was everything.
Drunk Emma is a gift to us all ❤
Taylor would never have guessed someone to use bejewelled in that context 😭😭😭and I love the chatoicness of it all
"actually my bones aren't that silent. Listen..." 😂🤣
Happy New Year to you, Emma! 😂😊
Brando Sando made me drink too this year >
I fully support book chat paired with wine 🍷
Emma did you read Sally Rooney before in any of your vlogs? I don't think I've ever come across you talking about her and I would really like to hear your take on them if you are interested as well.
Have a great year by the way 💛
Slightly sloshed Emmie is the best way to review crap books and you made perfect sense- mostly - anyway I had to read Verity-for a book club and I read the entire book, just so that I could say I hated the whole thing. From the weird start to the end, I couldn't care less about any of the characters. I will never suffer through a colleen Hoover book again! Thanks for you vlog I recommend to everybody!!
Listen, I read Throne of Glass, whole series. Loved it. BUT, I 1000000% agree that Celaena's whole "I'm the best" yet we never see it is my biggest critique with the first two books (she makes some stupid mistakes in book 2 also that "the best assassin" shouldn't really be making). And honestly? Once I read the whole series, book 1 felt so drastically different from where we end up at the conclusion of the series, like it almost didn't even feel like it was part of the same series as the other books. I loved the series, but it has its flaws. Telling but never showing us how deadly Celaena is was the biggest flaw of the series. Is that due to SJM having written it so young? Who knows.
Okay I had to pause the video and comment because when you were reading the quotes from Rock Paper Scissors I just cackled and felt so validated, I read Daisy Darker by her as well and its the same thing. Half of it was strange inspirational quotes...I almost stopped reading it. Just agony.
i said when you read throttled that i wanted to read it because i was intrigued by how bad you said it was and i finally finished it a couple of days ago and it almost definitely will be the worst book of 2023. i didn't have anything too outrageously bad last year but this year i have that. it was so bad
This is so good! Utter truth with wine is what I really needed! Thanks for making my week!!!!! So good!!!! Love you!!!!!
Drunk Emma being SUPER sentimental. Here for it. 😂❤
It cracks me up that the trope gets used so often in fantasy, because the whole idea of a famous assassin is just ridiculous. The only way in the real world to became a famous assassin is if by getting caught. And then they aren't really famous, they are infamous.
Also cracking me up, your liver literally not knowing how to process alcohol. 🍷😂
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper was my worst book. It's pretty awful. Avoid the book. Watch the 1992 movie instead
I WAS SO EXPECTING THIS BOOK AT 3 i started referring to it as the kingdom of kidneys bc u said that the king was going to the bathroom a lot or smth
I love drunk emmie!! More please!!
"We can just Hoover this one right up. *laughs at own pun*"
Subbed. 🤣🤣
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that face blindness meant you had trouble remembering people's faces after you'd met them, not that you can't recognize your own wife.
copied from NHS
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, means you cannot recognise people's faces.
Face blindness often affects people from birth and is usually a problem a person has for most or all of their life. It can have a severe impact on everyday life.
Many people with prosopagnosia are not able to recognise family members, partners or friends.
They may cope by using alternative strategies to recognise people, such as remembering the way they walk or their hairstyle, voice or clothing.
But these types of strategies do not always work - for example, when a person with prosopagnosia meets someone in an unfamiliar location.
My first book of the year is Bukowski's The People Were Flowers at Last. Such amazing poetry! I love Bukowski. My second is Upstream by Mary Oliver- I definitely recommend!
i never get the whole thing either of someone being the best in the country at something when they’re super young. like how can you be the best assassin ever at age 16? like 6 years ago you were a literal child??
Me: man, first day back at work, is there anything that I have to look forward to to-day?
Emmie: uploads her worst of the year
Me: 😊
I haven’t read Rock Paper Scissors but it sounds like this horror film I recently watched called “Barbarian”. I’m not sure if you’ve seen it but I definitely recommend if you’re interested in comparing/ contrasting. The movie accomplished what it sounds like the book was trying to do. Also had no real ending though and I’m still confused when I think about it :,) but overall one of the best thriller movies I’ve seen in a while.
Adding that to my watch list
every time you talk about the kingdom of little wounds it fascinates me more and more lmfao
I actually loved the throne of glass bcs the first time I read the book I was so in love with how strong the protagonist was. I think it was the first time I realized woman can be really strong and charming (bcs previously I had only found books with female protagonist who are super dependent and weak not only physically but also mentally and emotionally so I never felt identified with them and only frustrated that woman were only weak always) I think that’s why I still love that first book. But I also understand what you mean about her being said to be the best but then it’s never showed. Maybe if I read the book today I’ll feel the same way you do but still I think it opened the door for me to really understand what I liked in a female character (in this case someone who doesn’t need a boy to survive and who is at least a little bit independent and not hypocrite)
I love the low illumination! Oh! I've never read Colleen Hoover, and i don't wanna to! Artemis is really awfull. Emma, is there any Sarah J. Mass's book you recommend? Happy new year, darling! 💖
What a delightful video, Emma! I laughed out loud so many times. You’re so interesting and so funny. I just loved all your comments. You’re adorable!
I didn’t loveeeee tog but sjm wrote that at 16 and her writing improves throughout the series and you will see her assassin abilities 😅
