What's your prediction?
I didn't see it coming lol
I’m going Legends & Lattes
Omg I didn’t see that coming 😂
Legends and lattes ❤
I predict Wildfell Hall (massive personal bias) or maybe Piranesi or a non-fic
I’m going with Razor Blade Tears, or, I Who Have Never Known Men.
Please do this again this was so fun 😂❤❤
I really appreciate the amount of work and emotions you've put into making this video. It was one of the most fun videos I've seen on booktube in a long time!. And needless to say I Who Have Never Known Men has already made it's way to my Kindle, to be one of the first reads of 2023 ;)
I hope you make this a yearly video, the anxiety!! 😂
The way I followed this video more closely than the entire World Cup
You have definitely convinced me to pick up I Who Have Never Known Men.
I just bought a copy myself!
Watched 2 minutes and it's already one of your greatest ideas haha. Love this so much!
Also really fun to guess every one of them with you
I read a lot of good books this year, but I think Piranesi was my favorite. I had absolutely zero expectations and I absolutely loved it. I definitely want to reread it next year!!
I just love your voice so much. Not only do I love your book reviews and recommendations, but I put on videos of yours I've already watched in the background at work, home, when I'm out and about, your presence is so comforting!
That's no nice to hear
So pleased that Book of the Unnamed Midwife was in the top 2, it was my favourite book of last year…and I have since read a lot of apocalyptic books! I read I Who Have Never Known Men earlier this year and loved it too.
A great video idea and you put so much effort into it! And it's great to see you read so many various genres.
I let out the loudest GASP when Beach Read won in level 3. Literally my face: 🙀
So excited to read the winning book in January!
Awesome video Emily!
Happy holidays 🎉🎄🤶
I had no idea what to choose a few times... I tried to just pick instantly and it was surprising for me too haha
I absolutely love the video and the idea. Can’t wait to see this type of video every year!
I really liked including the genre in this type of bracket battle. That reveals a lot about the type of reader you are!
You worked really hard on this video. I loved it. Thanks!
This was excellent! Thank you for all the work you put into this. 😊❤
That was so cool! Thank you for this great video!
I have so many new books on my tbr now 😀
This was so fun! Really enjoyed the video and surprised by the winner! Making the wall the board was a brilliant touch. Can't wait for next year! 😊
This is my favorite video you’ve done. Thank you for the entertainment. Loved it!
This was such a great idea, and so fun!!!!! Love it!
Loved this video!!
Omg Emily, I read your winning book not so long after you talked about it and I think it HAS to be my favorite read of the year too, alongside Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes, House of The Dead by Dostoyevsky, and The Sword of Kaigen by M. L. Wang. 🥺 All of these were thought-provoking and extremely moving, I highly recommend them. ❤️
Loved the concept!
That was so much fun. Thank you
this was so entertaining to watch!! definely adding a lot of these to my tbr :)
This was SO entertaining! Sorry but it's really fun to watch you struggle so much choosing between the books you loved (or hated) equally hahhaa
I loved loved loved this video!!!
So much fun 🤣🤣🤣
I usually stop videos in the middle of it was too long, or when I’m finish eating… but I couldn’t stop watching!
I loved this video! Couldn’t help but feel anxious with you 😅 Please do this again next year 🫶🏻😁
this video was so much fun to watch, thank you for keeping us entertained hahah ☺
I love this! You should do this again but in the opposite direction aka getting to the worst book you have read this year
This was so much fun! And I love the antlers and festive pajamas 😍
It was super fun, thank you!
I loved this video idea! Super fun!
So fun!
And if u need more book battles, Drinking By My Shelf had me cracking up watching hers
This was so much fun!! I'm dying to do it myself
This was so fun!! And a unique idea that I haven’t seen before in book videos. hoping this will be a yearly tradition 💃🏻
What a great and entertaining video Emily❤!
Bonjour Emily, this was so much fun! I'm a French Canadian too but live in Ontario so getting my hands on French books is challenging. I did find an e-book copy of your fav in English. I'm really looking forward to it!
I will add your winner to my list. I will also be reading some Octavia Butler in 2023 bc of your recommendations! Thanks and Happy New Year!
This video was so much fun to watch! Thanks! 😁
love this! also video idea - if you read I Who Have Never Known Men in french pleaseee do a video comparing it to the English translation (vibe, missed beautiful lines that only make sense in French etc) for us English readers 🥰
The winner for me is your sweater and headband! Lol
Such a great video idea Emily love it 💚📙⛄️⛄️🎁💚📙🎄🕎🕎🎄📚📚📖🎄🎄⛄️🎁📙💚💚📙⛄️⛄️📙❤️❤️💚📙⛄️⛄️📙💚🎄🕎🕎🎄📖📚📚📖📙⛄️🎁💚❤️💚🎁🎁
This was so much fun!! didn't expect that ending either but that makes it more entertaining! Now I def have to add I who have never known men on my tbr
Loved it, best episode of the year! Thank you!
This was really fun to watch!
What an entertaining video. I had a lot of fun watching it, thank you.
This was so fun! I'm totally doing it for the books I read
I am picking up I who have never known men because of you!!!!!! I loved this video! I added so many because of the way you talk about these books. I knew you would pick that as your favorite because of the way you light up about it!
This was so much fun!
That was so much fun!!! I hope you’ll do it again!! Happy reading wishes for 2023!! 🎉🎧📖📱
This was so fun! Loved it! And now I must read the winner.
I loved this video!!!! So much fun. ❤
this was such a genius video idea. so fun to watch!
I picked up I Who Have Never Known Men on your recommendation and started reading it. I had to put it down cause I still have work to do and wanted to give it my undivided attention. So, I’m planning to read this on holiday break. I can tell it’s a good one 🤞🏻😅
Literally my favourite of your videos this year. Why did I get chills at the end 😂
That laugh when you pulled out Norwegian Wood 😂😂😂
This was so fun! I loved the concept and I loved the book that won!
Such a fun video!
That was fun to watch, and now I Who Have Never Known Men is on my TBR😅
Loved this and hope you did this next year! 😂
Loved this! Although you have just shown your enemies how to torture you.....🤣🤣. Again at the end of the year please!
I bought 'I who have never known men' because you mentioned it constantly and raved about it :D I'm excited to read it!
I love how fast you took some of your decisions!
If I hadn't, we'd still be waiting haha
This video was so fun ! It would be great to do it again 🤩
having watched your vids and knowing which books you raved about, i loved how i gasped-laughed tgt with you when beck chambers-travelling cat chronicles and octavia e butler-legends&lattes appeared 😂😂
Shocked by the winner, def gotta read it!
I really enjoyed The Book of the Unnamed Midwife; I read it on your recommendation. I really didn't like the second book in the series though and so I never started the third book. I have added I Who Have Never Known Men to my TBR. It was fun seeing your Best Ever Battle. (I added a few other books you mentioned to my TBR as well.)
This was sooo fun!
I definitely felt that middle child comment go right to my heart! I have never been the favorite.... 😭😭
This was so fun!
Such a fun concept! :)
Oh my gosh, you were dedicated to this set up - I love it 😂
I like the way you use the wall where the books used to be for your book bracket. I will certainly get to both your finalists in 2023. I think my own favorite of this year is The Book Eaters.
23:05 OH MY GOSH who are you 😂 loved the video, it was so much fun!!
Right???
It's funny because early on in the video, I started searching for copies at my libraries for the 2 books that end up as the final 2! :D
This was so much fun! I can't wait to read I Who Have Never Known Men ☺
It was so great to see you love The Book of the Unnamed Midwife because it didn’t get the love it deserved the year it came out. Dawn is one of my favorite books ever, so is East of Eden. I also read a ton of nonfiction this year, my favorite was They Were Her Property, which is the actual role white women played in slavery. So much history implies, “the women were too sweet and tender to be involved in that ugliness”, but that’s far from the truth.
I picked it up earlier this year! I'm hoping to get to it in 2023!
This video was SO FUN!
i will def have to read it now, the torture you went through to get to the best 😂
So much fun watching this!!
This video was so so fun!!! Would you consider making one of your 2021 books if that doesn't seem too far away??
Hi!! I just finished I Who Have Never known Men after hearing you rave about it several times on your channel…OMG! This book! It deserved every rave and more!! A book hasn’t moved me this much since reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The acknowledgment at the end of the book re: the author’s family history gave the bunkers and cage a whole different meaning. I’m going to purchase this book as it deserves a permanent place on my shelves! Where did you find about this gem? Thank you for enhancing and broadening the scope of my reading life!! ❤🎉😊
SO EXCITED!!! 📙💚❤️💚📙📙💚🎁🎁📖📚📚🕎📖❤️❤️💚📙⛄️🎄💚❤️💚🎄⛄️📙🎄❤️🎁📖🕎🕎🕎📖❤️❤️💚📙⛄️⛄️📙💚❤️🎁🎁🕎🕎📙⛄️⛄️📙💚🎁🎁📖📚⛄️⛄️
This was a super fun video! Probably going to read the winner, the unnamed midwife and wrong place wrong time although I don't read sci-fi so I don't really know if I'll like the first two. Recent subscriber but I'm loving your content :) happy holidays!
Hope you'll love them!
Please do this again. It was fun guessing your choice and I think I did great. 😁
I actually felt from the get go that you'll be choosing you the winner at the end. Sorry can't remember the title. 😅
That was a very fun video. Maybe you could also do the same but only for a genre each time? Which is the winner on each genre… ☺️
I hope you know you just made so much more work for yourself because now I want to see this every year 😂😂😂 I've now also added 12 books to my wishlist so THANKS for that 😵💫 I've moved I Who Have Never Known Men to the top of my TBR can't wait to experience the bleakness
Love the video
That was fun!
Another fun one from Michael Crichton is The great train robbery, so so good❤️
I just put the winner and the runner up on hold at my library I already read and loved Dawn thanks to you
You really making me want to continue I who never known men. I started it, but can't get into it - the beginning is kinda boring. But I'll try to read on!
The book of the Unnamed Midwife was one of the best books I read last year. Hope one day it will be translated, I wanna reread it in my language ❤️
I wasn't sure about it either at first but once they are out of that room... couldn't put it down!
I bought the book winner last week because of your relentless recommendation 💕
I really enjoyed this video! 😍 Did not see that one coming lol
I didn't expect romance books to make it so far XD
I loved this video. It was so fun.
This Video was so much fun! The editing must’ve taken you ages to get all of the book covers to show up at the right moment and right spots! It was awesome! I added a lot of books to my tbr from you this month, so thank you!! Definitely bumping I Who Have Never Known Men up closer to the top! (And Dawn, as well!)
I just noticed that Cultish doesn't show the first time... oh well it was bound to happen once! Hope you'll love them :)
@@BookswithEmilyFox oh my gosh I didn’t notice haha!!
I will let you know in a future comment on a future video my thoughts! :)
I've just put your winner on hold at the library. Given I plan on starting the new year with either The Book of the Unnamed Midwife or starting Butler's Earthseed duology, I'm in for a bleak January/February. I guess the middle of winter is a good time to completely despair of humanity.
I loved this video ❤
Super cool and fun video! I need to place an order for I Who Have Never Known Men now (I do hope the French cover is as pretty as the English one or I'm going to be very disappointed haha)
Update: oh no the French cover is bad. I am torn now. 😅
They are so bad! Have you seen the one with "artistic" buttcheeks? XD
