It pisses me off when people say that Sirius is the closest thing to family to Harry Potter. Like, they forget about Hagrid ??? I mean Hagrid saw him grow up, baked him a cake for his birthday, cried when he left Hogwards the first time, and cares about him soooo much ! Hagrid and Lupin are my two favorite caracters, I love Sirius, but he's overhyped. oh and Luna rocks.
This channel got me back into reading and I'm loving it! I've been watching your makeup channel for a while but this channel just gets me. I've ordered soooo many new books that will be coming soon! I'm considering starting a book channel but I'm just not sure that I have the time! But I definitely want to read more and more. I feel like I've missed so many books the past few years that I have to read them all at once! But I can't read more than one book at a time Hahaha you're awesome, Emily! ❤
omg the third book in the Mistborn trilogy is so epic, be ready to have your mind blown haha I swear when I finished it I thought about this trilogy for weeks. And same about HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I strongly remember it being my least favourite movie/book when I was younger but as I get older I'm enjoying it more and more !
I have a great memory tbh... I'll remember pretty much everything even if it's been a month or two. It helps a lot otherwise I wouldn't read much since it's how I power through some slow paced books lol
I absolutely love that you read books that aren't well-known and bestsellers. Happy new year, Emily! and congrats for your channel, you're doing it amazing! :)
I totally feel the same way about Sirius, I've never gotten the hype! I've always really appreciated Lupin though =) A lot of new books I'll have to check out, thanks for all the great recommendations in 2016!
Fave booktuber!😁 so happy to see your videos everyday. I'm currently reading The Well of Ascension and yes it is so good. You actually are the reason I'm reading the Mistborn trilogy. Can't put the book down. I'm planning to read all of Brandon Sanderson's books. And also Happy New Year Emily! 🌟
I was never much of a reader before 2016. I was very good at reading with a lexile score that of a college graduate at the age of 13, I just didn't read as much as I should. This year, however, I started with The Fault In Our Stars, now I'm reading The Book Thief, then I have The Sun Is Also A Star, and the Maze Runner Series.
Yaasss! I have been waiting patiently for this video! 🤣 ❤ I've been wanting to read the Mistborn trilogy but I'm still waiting for it, it's still on hold in my library, someone got it before me 😭😭 Anyho, I guess it's fine cuz Iill be reading the Inheritance trilogy for now ❤❤
I actually loved the short strange romance in Uprooted. It was so surprising and different that it excited me that it was so outside the normal YA. I also think that the main character was great. She ended up being so strong and really knew what she wanted. But I know some people didn't enjoy it.
The raven boys was a bit confusing and hard for me to read since English isn't my first language and I thought the language and the writing style was a little hard but I enjoyed it and loved the plot twists, and I promise you the series gets better as you keep going, for me the dream thieves was also kinda confusing but I loved it a lot, blue lily lily blue was the best in my opinion. I just love this series so much that I want everyone to love it too but I understand why some people have some issues with it but I wish you'd continue with it 😊
I read the Angelfall trilogy as well and feel 'ok' about the whole thing. I feel like it completely lacks world building.. but the characters were good though. I'm so happy you read Wool!! I really enjoyed that one and I haven't seen it on Booktube that much yet.
Happy new year Emily xxxx what lipstick are you wearing? It's gorgeous! I love both your channels! You should read "a girl with all the gifts" by M Carey it's a post apocalyptic book and it's great!!!!
I've read goldengrove which is a book that narrates the haunting life that a girl has after the loss of her sister and I've also read an ember in the ashes,which i'm sure you know about!I really want to read uprooted because of the hype and also because it sounds right up my alley!!
Hey Emily! Are you planning on reading Smoke by Dan Vyleta? It's a new release i just saw in stores and thought it looked interesting. Would love to hear you review it!
I'm surprised you liked angelfall. Makes me want to start the series hhah I thought it would be really young and cheesy cause angels. Your HP edition is so pretty. I keep seeing them in my bookstore but I own 3 versions already xD
Hi Em, i really enjoy your wrap ups 😊 and Book Hauls 😍 Naomi Novik has another Series "The Temeraire Series" there are about a sarcastic Dragon, Napoléon and a lot of Figths during the war between Britain and France 😉 (in a Fantasy Setting).... Do you now the Series from Dan Wells "I'm not a Serial Killer"? I can recommend it. Greetings from Germany 😉
I for one loved the romance in Uprooted! But I didn't maybe love the book itself as much as everyone else did, like it was a strong, entertaining and well written 4-star fantasy novel but not my new favorite book :D my sister (who loved it) said you probably have to be in a certain mood for a story like Uprooted to love it :) Interested to see what you think about the Handmaiden's Tale!
Una de las mejores sagas en cuanto a lo paranormal se refiere, en mi opinión es " El fin de los tiempos" por Susan Ee. Su trama, la personalidad de Penryn, Raffe😍😍 es... simplemente Fantástico.
I loved the Angelfall trilogy. Some nah sayers said the third one wasn't their favourite, but in my opinion it was a great ending. And I gotta tell ya-Dream Thieves is a much better book to Raven Boys; it delves more toward the boys (mainly Ronan) and less towards Blue. She was always the reason the books didn't get a max rating from me.
December is always crazier than we think it will be, right? Hope your finals and Christmas went well! I still haven't read Uprooted. I just. . . . I don't know.
if you liked the characters in the raven boys i would recommend continuing but if you didn't feel a strong connection it might not be the series for you because in my opinion, i could care less about the actual plot. what kept me reading was the characters because i found them all realistic and quirky
Finally someone who doesn't think Sirius is a god😂 I like him but I prefer Remus and Arthur! I gave up on uprooted because I just found it too slow paced!
I used to start so many books but could never finish them, it was embarrassing lol You definitely need to get out of that vicious cycle 'Wool' sounds interesting, I'll give a chance
which booktubers do you follow yourself? I'am having a hard time finding people who read the same genre as you do, and not just ya. btw, love all your videos 😙
Few of the bigger youtubers have similar taste - the closest would be PeruseProject. The booktuber with the closest taste to mine is Sina (ua-cam.com/channels/Hmpn4Dr8VBCxgj0-J0WRWQ.html) She's lovely and deserve way more subs :)
that is EXACTLY how I felt about angelfall....at first. not going to spoil anything,but I hated the rest of the series halfway into the second book. I finished it anyway,but something went wrong with the writing halfway through that second book
Je ne sais pas si tu as déjà entendu parler du site web, "Book Depository". La compagnie est situer au UK. Tu peux trouver des belles éditions de livre pour souvent beaucoup moins chèr que Chapters Indigo. Moi par exemple je voulais avoir des livres sur chapters qui m'auraient coutés 25$ 30$ et je les est trouver sur Book Depository pour environ 10$ 16$. Bon les livres varie souvent en prix, il y en a qui sont quand même 20$ mais je pense sa vaut la peine de vérifier sur ce site :) Tu ne pay pas le shipping avec se site web et pas de taxe non plus, juste le montant du livre :) J'habite au Canada aussi au NB et je n'est jamais eux aucune difficulter a recevoir mes livres. Sa prend normalement 2 a 3 semaines par contre mais je trouve sa vaut la peine! :) PS: C'est pas un spam message ou rien lol je ne suis pas payer pour paler du site ou rien! Mais je vois que tu as beaucoup de livres et je penssais partager ce site! Moi sa ma aider dans "book shopping" lol Et aussi j'aime tes videos il y a toujours de bonnes idées de lecture! J'ai acheter le livre The Library Of Mont Char. Bravo pour tout le travail que tu fais et merci de nous recommender des livres!
T'inquiete je le connais! haha C'est aussi ce que je fais - je compare les prix entre Chapters et Book Depositery et je commande les moins chers :P Prepare toi... c'est un des livres les plus bizarres que j'ai lu!
LifewithEmilyFox haha lol j'avais écrit ce commemtair avant d'écouter ton vidéo, trop contente de partager le site lol Je voulais deleter mon commentaire par la suite mais je me suis dit que c'était pas grave. :P
Sad to say I couldn't stand Angelfall. It was my least favourite read of the entire year. I personally found it HORRENDOUSLY cheesy. The dialogue was so stilted and forced and not funny at all. The schizophrenic mother was quite inappropriately played for comic relief and the fact that nobody could figure out why the angels had come to Earth makes me wonder if there isn't a single person alive in that world who had read the book of revelations. And of course all of the angels are teenage hunks. Because of course they were.
Plots And Points oh thank goodness! I HATED that series. it started out ok, but omg that second book was horrendous! it was like a totally different writer stepped in and went,wait no,lets make it gross and gruesome , and zombies, and oh idk then throw in some angel politics. wtf? I can't believe I finished it. Worst books of the year for me
personally I did not like the Handmaids Tale. Extremely slow paced but also the concept just angered the feminism in me back in the day when I read it so it was difficult to get through
It pisses me off when people say that Sirius is the closest thing to family to Harry Potter. Like, they forget about Hagrid ??? I mean Hagrid saw him grow up, baked him a cake for his birthday, cried when he left Hogwards the first time, and cares about him soooo much ! Hagrid and Lupin are my two favorite caracters, I love Sirius, but he's overhyped. oh and Luna rocks.
OMG YES😭😭😭
Exactly! Hagrid was definitely family!

I absolutely love that you read books that aren't well-known and bestsellers. Happy new year, Emily! and congrats for your channel, you're doing it amazing! :)
I love that the books are organized by colour...
Angelfall was also one of the books I read this month and I really loved it!
So glad you picked up the Handmaid's Tale! I hope you end up loving it :) It's one of my favorite books
I loved the Handmaiden's Tale and I so want to read Wool and the other two in the trilogy. I am going to read the Mistborn Trilogy in the new year.
Teisha Bee me too me too!
Let me know how it goes :)
I totally feel the same way about Sirius, I've never gotten the hype! I've always really appreciated Lupin though =)
A lot of new books I'll have to check out, thanks for all the great recommendations in 2016!
I haven't started the Mistborn series, but I definitely want to! It sounds really, really good.
I LOVE LUPIN. he's my favourite character ever. i feel like he's so underrated
I feel the same way about Uprooted. I was really excited for it, but it's such a struggle to get through
Fave booktuber!😁 so happy to see your videos everyday. I'm currently reading The Well of Ascension and yes it is so good. You actually are the reason I'm reading the Mistborn trilogy. Can't put the book down. I'm planning to read all of Brandon Sanderson's books. And also Happy New Year Emily! 🌟

You would love illuminae! I went in blind, and honestly I'm still in love. Seriously, if you you like sci-fi you will love illuminae!!!
Yaasss! I have been waiting patiently for this video! 🤣 ❤ I've been wanting to read the Mistborn trilogy but I'm still waiting for it, it's still on hold in my library, someone got it before me 😭😭 Anyho, I guess it's fine cuz Iill be reading the Inheritance trilogy for now ❤❤

If you like postapocalypse I would recommend The Girl with all the Gifts and Station Eleven!
Juli-Yashka I loved a girl with all the gifts!!!
I've read Station Eleven and I was actually planning on reading the other! Now I'll have to :)
The raven boys was a bit confusing and hard for me to read since English isn't my first language and I thought the language and the writing style was a little hard but I enjoyed it and loved the plot twists, and I promise you the series gets better as you keep going, for me the dream thieves was also kinda confusing but I loved it a lot, blue lily lily blue was the best in my opinion. I just love this series so much that I want everyone to love it too but I understand why some people have some issues with it but I wish you'd continue with it 😊
I read Uprooted and felt the same way as you do. I really wanted to love it, but hated the magic system. Hope you'll enjoy the last bit left!
Let's hope so :S
I'm finishing Dark Matter, based on your recommendation and it's CRAZY. I love it! Such a great recommendation!
Yay! Glad you're loving it :D
oh can't wait to see a review of "Hero of Ages" when you're finishes with the Mistborn trilogy!
And have you considered doing any tag videos? x
Ahh! Angelfall... I swear that trilogy get's better every book! :)
I just started reading More Than This because of your recommendation, and I'm really into it so far! :)
Happy to hear it :)
I read the Angelfall trilogy as well and feel 'ok' about the whole thing. I feel like it completely lacks world building.. but the characters were good though. I'm so happy you read Wool!! I really enjoyed that one and I haven't seen it on Booktube that much yet.
I feel the same about Sirius Black and the third book.
An amazing beast of a post-apocalyptic book is The Passage by Justin Cronin. It can legitimately be described as epic. Amazing book!
Happy new year Emily xxxx what lipstick are you wearing? It's gorgeous! I love both your channels! You should read "a girl with all the gifts" by M Carey it's a post apocalyptic book and it's great!!!!
I've read goldengrove which is a book that narrates the haunting life that a girl has after the loss of her sister and I've also read an ember in the ashes,which i'm sure you know about!I really want to read uprooted because of the hype and also because it sounds right up my alley!!
Uprooted is very very good! It does get a little slow in places but it's worth continuing. :)
I didn't realize it was classified as YA...
i'm so glad you read angelfall!! it definitely does not get the recognition on booktube it deserves!!
Hey Emily! Are you planning on reading Smoke by Dan Vyleta? It's a new release i just saw in stores and thought it looked interesting. Would love to hear you review it!
I'm surprised you liked angelfall. Makes me want to start the series hhah I thought it would be really young and cheesy cause angels.
Your HP edition is so pretty. I keep seeing them in my bookstore but I own 3 versions already xD
Awesome :) every time when my phone show me that your new video is out its like little Christmas :D :)
Omg Sirius black is my all time favourite! So is the third book 😭
Hi Em, i really enjoy your wrap ups 😊 and Book Hauls 😍
Naomi Novik has another Series "The Temeraire Series" there are about a sarcastic Dragon, Napoléon and a lot of Figths during the war between Britain and France 😉 (in a Fantasy Setting).... Do you now the Series from Dan Wells "I'm not a Serial Killer"? I can recommend it.
Greetings from Germany 😉

Una de las mejores sagas en cuanto a lo paranormal se refiere, en mi opinión es " El fin de los tiempos" por Susan Ee. Su trama, la personalidad de Penryn, Raffe😍😍 es... simplemente Fantástico.
Added a few titles to my TBR. Considering stating The Mistborn trilogy early next year!
Do it!! :D
I loved the Angelfall trilogy. Some nah sayers said the third one wasn't their favourite, but in my opinion it was a great ending. And I gotta tell ya-Dream Thieves is a much better book to Raven Boys; it delves more toward the boys (mainly Ronan) and less towards Blue.

I still haven't read Uprooted. I just. . . . I don't know.
Thank you! I'm trying to finish it but I'm not feeling it so far :S
I loved Handmaid's Tale. I want to read it again before the new series comes out.
I didn't know there was a series coming out!
yes! on Hulu. the movie was kind of meh but the series has promise.
have you read nocturnal animals? I'd also recommend island of the blue dolphins
No but I've just watch the movie! I'll have to check them out :)
The Road - Cormac McCarthy 👍🏼👍🏼
I've been looking for it (I know I have it :S) if I find it I'll definitely read it haha
Just as a heads up, Handmaid's Tale doesn't pick up the pace lol. It's pretty slow going, but it's still really good!
It didn't pick up much you're right haha
If you like the post-apocalyptic book, I recommend the Metro trilogy: Metro 2033, 2034 and 2035. So far my favorite one.
Oh yes I've heard of it!! Will definitely check it out :)
I love your videos and ever since I started watching them I've been thinking about starting my own youtube channel 😁
if you liked the characters in the raven boys i would recommend continuing but if you didn't feel a strong connection it might not be the series for you because in my opinion, i could care less about the actual plot. what kept me reading was the characters because i found them all realistic and quirky
Finally someone who doesn't think Sirius is a god😂 I like him but I prefer Remus and Arthur! I gave up on uprooted because I just found it too slow paced!
Im currently reading the handmaids tale. And OMG the first part was just too slow for me. I had to read another book just because i got so bored.
I used to start so many books but could never finish them, it was embarrassing lol You definitely need to get out of that vicious cycle
'Wool' sounds interesting, I'll give a chance
I'm trying to stop doing it but... it's hard :P
The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle. Its not very long and a great read -in my opinion- check it out. 😉
I recently finished reading Fahrenheit 451
Oh yes I read it in HS but didn't really understand english... I have to reread it!
Ugh I love when she says Thief!
:-( I know the feeling about Uprooted...I've been stuck at 60% and I've the same issue with the romance
Really glad to hear I'm not alone!
which booktubers do you follow yourself? I'am having a hard time finding people who read the same genre as you do, and not just ya. btw, love all your videos 😙

The booktuber with the closest taste to mine is Sina (ua-cam.com/channels/Hmpn4Dr8VBCxgj0-J0WRWQ.html) She's lovely and deserve way more subs :)
emilyyyyy u shud read MEMORY MAN by David Baldacci and Iron House by John Hart
that is EXACTLY how I felt about angelfall....at first. not going to spoil anything,but I hated the rest of the series halfway into the second book. I finished it anyway,but something went wrong with the writing halfway through that second book
Ohno :( wanted to buy that series
Oh no :S Well I hope it goes well for me!
LifewithEmilyFox I hope so too! Maybe it just wasn't t for me..
The Dream Thieves is way better, so long as you like Ronan since its kinda his book. The third one is the best HP.
I'll definitely give it a go!
i also can't get past page 100 of uprooted oops
I feel you!
I just read 2 books of the raven boys series... not going to finish... it is a no for me....

please reply. It would mean alot...
Uprooted is literally the worst!🙅🏻 Abusive relationships aren't cute.
I want to try and finish it... but even if the writing is beautiful I'm not feeling it :S
Thanks for ruining Uprooted for me!!!! Just kidding I never wanted to read it lol
Hahaha :P
I didn't like Uprooted too. Everyone seemed to love it but I just thought the guy was a dick and the story dragged on... ^^"
Lord Tsundoku that is how I felt about it too. I couldn't even finish it.
Haha that kinda summarize how I feel so far... I really want to love it... will see how it goes!
