i just realized how much time she must have spent to edit these kinds of videos. This is an appreciation post for her incredible editing skills. Also, Im so incredibly happy that you are slowly recovering from your concussion and that you are now able to watch movies. Stay safe and happy, em and to anyone reading this!
It's nice to see comments like these. You don't see enough of them on UA-cam. There are too many being rude about when such and such video is coming out ,and not enough acknowledging the amount of work that goes into putting out videos. Not that asking about when they are doing something is always bad. It's just how you do it. A lot of people are really mean to UA-camrs.
your vlogs have a ghibli movie vibe and I'm so happy you're getting well enough that you're finally able to watch all of the ghibli movies. mononoke hime is my favourite.
Tomorrow I'll have a surgey at the hospital and I left this video for the end of today, so i can feel a little bit more relaxed and stop stressing about tomorrow. Thank you, your channel is such a safe and cosy place.
I can't! This is my favorite booktube channel, I wish we could be friends! Lots of love from Brazil ❤️ I'm a quiet viewer, I think I've never commented before, but I've been here for so long now!
@@emmiereads i'm currently reading the great gatsby (i'm trying to catch up on some classics), and the last books i finished were crime and punishment and the human stain (i loved this one ^^)
I love watching your videos, such a soothing and calming vibe + the reading and nature always fills me up with so much joy yet longing bc you're surrounded by that kind of beauty 🤍
Your videos make me so happy, I love that I watched your channel grow! Super excited to be doing the readathon this week; I'm going to attempt to read 100 years of solitude... I tried reading it a couple times before and struggled to get past the first 50 pages. But your love for the story and the way you talk about it inspires me to give it another go.
This is a perfect vlog: good books ( First Love, by Turgueniev, is great), the fields are beautiful, your dog is cute and i love the muffin man song!💖🌺🐕🌳🍩📚🦋
I took a stroll today revisiting my Catholic gothic childhood in total contrast to your beautiful pantheistic images,although I did get some nice footage of some swans!Love you and love your two channels!
Emma, I'm so glad I found your channel! (love your calming intros too btw) The way you talk about books... you've reintroduced me to my love of books and I'm finally reading properly again! Please keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany 🌞🍃
I’ve been excited for you to read Anne of Green Gables for ages! So so sweet. If you enjoy it I’d really recommend the 1985 film adaption whilst ur still in springtime! So wholesome so wonderful!
Emma, All the beauty of the world rests in your eyes and your voice is the wind as it glides through the grasslands into my window. To look upon your smile is to look upon creation as it was formed on that first day and though it has fallen to mortality, your smile has sustained my spirit. xoxo
Hey Emmie. I am one of the early birds 😁! A coincidence is that I was thinking about watching your reading and here I go. Love ur lovely and cozy vlogs❤️. Thx a bunch!!!!
We had the same thoughts about the crazy end there. I was just thinking, "There's a biblical plague outside your window!". Then you said just that. Hopefully everyone in the area was okay. That was a huge group of stinging insects on some sort of mission. Keep that window closed and them on the other side of it!
You convinced me to read First Love, so I went looking online only to discover that I already own it in a Penguin box set called "Great Loves" so now I'm starting it today! Its a rainy day here, so it will be perfect reading weather~
I love your videos, EM. Hopefully your plants are doing great but I find you have too many in the same pot. Let us see it again later on. Thanks for your videos.
Long comment coming, probably should make it a blog post or perhaps an email???, but anyway. I tore my ACL a few months ago and with the extra time I normally spend doing active things, I decided to get some reading done (I love to read, always have, but you know how time just gets away from you and you'll read any book you pick up in 5 hours but then forget to pick up another book for 5 months?) That reading naturally lead me to booktube, and eventually this channel. I at first i thought this channel was going to lead me to a ton of new books. which i suppose it has. but the more i watch your videos, i stopped envying your bookshelves and started envying one of your books in particular. War and Peace...full of tabs and savored 22-page section by 22-page section. I adore the way you cherish all your tough reads and take the time to mark the things that delight you in each book. I tend to take novels at a sprint. my ADHD tempts me to skim half the time rather than revel. But I decided to give more attentive reading a try with Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. I bought 500 post-it flags (overkill?) and used them to highlight the lyrical word plays (orange), beautiful imagery (green), and bold social commentary (purple) that made Hurston's book an American classic. A book that I normally would have sped through in one day, I enjoyed immensely over three. Taking another page from your book (HAHA SEE WHAT I DID THE- sorry, nevermind), dialogue that normally would have been lost on me I listened to on audiobook, letting the narrator's performance bring the characters from the page to sit beside me. To skim or rush this novel would have been a huge disservice. UA-cam as a whole and Booktube in specific often feels like a numbers game. Who can read the most, newest, prettiest books. I feel like this channel takes a risk to talk about different kinds of books, or even to talk about the same book for multiple videos (hi Tolstoy again). This comment is just to recognize that decision you make to cherish each read and that it's already making a huge difference in the way I approach literature. It may sound stupid, but your videos helped inspire me to get excited about the craft of writing. So thank you for helping me rediscover this love. God this comment got so long you could print it out and put it on your bookshelf.
Since you're starting to watch movies again (awesome btw !!) I'd recommend cartoon saloon. I wouldn't say it's similar to studio Ghibli but their movies are so magical and so so pretty, rlly underrated. A lot of them are based on Celt myths and such. My favorites are song of the sea and wolfwalkers I think. The breadwinner is also good
When I was a fairly young child (eight? nine?) my brother knew how much I loved rollie pollies (aka sowbugs; woodlice). He built me a giant bug hotel out of an old aquarium that we weren't using, and I kept rollie pollies in it for several months, outside, with the aquarium tipped on its side so they could leave whenever they wanted. It was one of my favorite birthday presents!
I recently got 100 Years of Solitude from the library and I started it a few days ago. I’m not far yet but I’m so excited to read it! Thank for the recommendation
"The Murmur of Bees" sounds FANTASTIC! I immediately added it to my goodreads list - I always need more mexican literature in my life as well as a magical realism story about a little boy with a protective shroud of bees (which totally sounds like a bee-version of Gaara from Naruto lol) ??? like dang, sign me up!
“From Up On Poppy Hill” was the first Miyazaki film I ever saw, and it is still my favorite. I saw it in a theater during its original release, and was completely swept up by it. I hope you enjoyed it every bit as much.
I love everything about your content. It brings me soft calmness and so much nostalgia. You inspire me to just start reading again. P.S. You're so pretty. You look like a very bookish Anastasia Steele
Hi Emma ! It's great that you're getting to movies ! If you want one that feels just like a Ghibli movie but is not animation, there's Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson which is SO. GOOD. Makes me so ready-to-implode-from-joy every time. Kisses from Brussels !!
I can't express how this video arrived in my inbox at the perfect time! Thank you! ❤️ Also, is there a Spotify playlist with the music you use in these videos? Because they are always the perfect vibe for my day and I can never find anything quite right
"Reading books and running through fields" sounds like my ideal life.

Oh, _The Murmur of Bees_ was me... Just picked it off your wishlist, I haven't read it yet :)
ah thank you so much!!!! That was so kind, thank you dearly! :)

Sending you so many hugs, hope it goes well! So glad it's comforting, you got this
One of my favourites by Studio Ghibli is The Wind Rises. I don't remember it to be really magical etc, but it is completely heartbreaking
I can't! This is my favorite booktube channel, I wish we could be friends! Lots of love from Brazil ❤️ I'm a quiet viewer, I think I've never commented before, but I've been here for so long now!

EMMA IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING 😭 thank you thank you
You getting hype over The Muffin Man is my favorite part of the video.
your dog, the weather, the books just are so calming to me
thank you so much for the great content, you are the main reason why i started reading like a maniac again ^^ i missed it

The way you talk about books... you've reintroduced me to my love of books and I'm finally reading properly again!
Please keep up the good work.
Greetings from Germany 🌞🍃
idk why but the clarinet melody in the intro sounds so melancholic to me 💔
You should give (everything i never told you by celeste ng) a chance it never drags on or gets boring it's amazing
I now read books because of u😍 thank youuu💕
your vlogs give me so much serotonin pls
First Love was surely one of the best I've read! So beautifully written!
Definitely on the lookout for what Turgenev to read next
I’ve been excited for you to read Anne of Green Gables for ages! So so sweet. If you enjoy it I’d really recommend the 1985 film adaption whilst ur still in springtime! So wholesome so wonderful!
Wow I'm super early today! Love you Em!💜💜💜💜💜💜
I highly recommend Little Witch Academia if you need something wholesome, colorful and light-hearted anime. It’s so good~ Makes me smile every time
your ghibli shirt looks comfy!!
this is the life i wanna live
Emma, All the beauty of the world rests in your eyes and your voice is the wind as it glides through the grasslands into my window. To look upon your smile is to look upon creation as it was formed on that first day and though it has fallen to mortality, your smile has sustained my spirit. xoxo
I am also currently obsessed with Studio Ghibli movies and I don’t know how I’ve lived this long only just learning about them.
Your videos make me soooo happy, Emmie! Every time i have a bad day i binge watch them and feel so much better. I hope you're having a great day❤️
Hey Emmie. I am one of the early birds 😁! A coincidence is that I was thinking about watching your reading and here I go. Love ur lovely and cozy vlogs❤️. Thx a bunch!!!!

Such a wholesome vlog emmie loved it 🦋🤍
secret world of arrietty is my favorite ghibli film
I agree about Girl in Translation! I read it like 3 years ago and loved it! So, so good! Highly recommend!
Throughout the vlog she has this very tiny, demure little smile that suggests she's just tickled pink to be doing this.
You convinced me to read First Love, so I went looking online only to discover that I already own it in a Penguin box set called "Great Loves" so now I'm starting it today! Its a rainy day here, so it will be perfect reading weather~
ooh such perfect weather, hope you love it!!
You soon gonna fire up the master fuse of booktube Emmie
i had no idea there was such a thing as a black squirrel and i'm amazed
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like the perfect combination of Saoirse Ronan and Dakota Johnson? Cute cute cute!🙈😍😭
Omg yes!!
EMMA WATSON AND DAKOTA JOHNSON 💘
I was thinking the same thing about Dakota Johnson! Iconic Emma ❣️
She is perfect
@@jeanvillalobos2004 I know. Not just cause she’s pretty tho. She’s like, super smart. Obviously, look at the content!
I love your videos, EM. Hopefully your plants are doing great but I find you have too many in the same pot. Let us see it again later on. Thanks for your videos.
So jealous of the sunny reading, it’s been pishing it down for a solid week in Scotland
Very excited to hear your thoughts on Kristin Lavransdatter. I just finished the 2nd book in Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles, highly recommend.

TLDR: Thanks to this channel I now actually process great writing instead of skimming books as fast as humanly possible.
I got to use the small library system., due to the public system being closed, I am very happy I found it
omg from up the poppy hill is my all time favorite!!!!

Maybe the bugs were the cicadas that just emerged from underground after like 17 years?
