i’m jealous of the selection of books in secondhand shops in english-speaking countries but not of the prices 😬 i’ve never thrifted a book for more than the equivalent of around $2
Hi Emma..What a great find that of artic horror stories!! I always envy you english readers, all the book covers have the name of the book on the spine into the same direction. The editions in spanish (I am from Argentina) have the names in random direccions (either upwards or downwards) so, when thrifting, or even in stores we have to be constantly turning our heads to be able to read them hahahha
If you think Pamela is long look at Richardson’s Clarissa! It’s like 1600 pages. Henry Fielding mocked Richardson’s moralistic fiction. Titus Andronicus is a howler. Really bad. That’s why it’s not taught very often.
Can you explain what you mean by putting the books in the freezer (like in a bag??)? I usually buy thrifted books and didn’t know it’s something that should be done 😭😭thanks!!
The Book Addict, Goodwill Bookstore on Adelaide St. are good. Two of my other London favorites are City Lights and Attic Books. Also enjoy the Library Book Store.
Is CIty Lights still there? I haven't been to London in many many years, but I had heard that it closed. It was one of my favourite places in the city.
I love thrifting videos! Whether they show people thrifting books, antiques, computes and video games. I grew up visiting local flea markets and second hands stores. I love the way you can find things you are looking for or find stuff you were unaware of its existence.
Thanks for the freezer tip! So no more bugs from 2nd hand books! This year, roll up the rim can only be played online if you swiped the point card while purchasing the coffee. I was as lost as you were when I couldn’t find anything under the rim😅
Hi, Emma!! I’ve been a subscriber for a while now and just wanted to say that you helped me with the ordeall of discovering myself as a reader. So… Thanks!! Hugs from Brasil ❤
i read Titus Andronicus after reading and studying Shakespeare's Roman plays chronologically (in terms of roman history not publishing order): Coriolanus, Julius Caesar, and Anthony and Cleopatra (there's a course called Shakespeare and Politics taught by Prof. Paul Canter on yt, these lectures are rich and thought-provoking, highly-recommend). And I love TA after learning Shakespeare's perspective on Roman history, it's dramatic on a whole new level and touching as well, hope u enjoy❤ (ps. ur contents are so comfortable and cozy ❤)
Thrifting for books is my very favoritest thing! I just got a couple of Anne of Green Gables books like yesterday at the thrift store. They had a sale where for three dollars you can fill a huge bag full. Anne was in there, along with Catcher in the Rye (which I read 20 years ago and HATED but you and Carolyn have me questioning myself and I want to re-read it again as an adult.) The Awakening by Chopin, and Madam Bouvay, AND Middlemarch! I had never even heard of that before you put it on your GOT list, and I just got it for next to nothing at a thrift store!
Hi Emma! Love your videos. Can you do a video on how you prepare to read for 24 hrs? I want to do this and any helpful hints are appreciated! Hugs! 😊❤💚
When i was fifteen-ish, my sister was reading Pamela and found it so hilarious in large parts that she would read it out loud to me (we had adjoining bedrooms) and we used to just talk about it all the time in our daily lives and make references to 'the Wretch' and 'the Closet' constantly. If i recall, we found Pamela a highly irritating protagonist but we may not have been sufficiently sympathetic or feminist in our immaturity🤣 - I ought to read it again really...
I love second hand. I thrift kids and teen and adult books with own money. I love those I do a kids book and teen and adult book giveway at applebees( 3701 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70002) i have given away 1200 books in 7 months
What's the hilarious book at 05:50? When you say you put the books in the freeezer you mean an actual freezer? Great video btw! book thrifting + instrumental jazz + a cat! 5/5 stars!
There are some really great finds in these stores!! They even had a copy of Icefields! Sadly I didn’t get to it this winter, but it’s still very much on my upcoming fiction list.
Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. I'm currently up to page 881 of the Count of Monte Cristo. Still got some way to go. Very different feeling to be with a book so long. Happy reading.
This made me miss going book shopping with my best friend, we live in different countries now 💔 can’t wait until summer when I go see him. Thank you for the video!
What a busy Friday Night. Everyone is coming along. Hey Emma! I just finished Nervous Conditions. That was a great book, well chosen! Now I'm reading the New Brandon Sanderson. And I'm going to read Kintu anyway. 🙂Hope your weekend goes smashingly!
I want to go book thrifting so bad, cherished old books are amazing. I recently got The Human Stain from the library to read for my literature class and I love seeing other people's annotations :>
I don't think it's a problem that you keep pulling snow/ice/winter books off the shelf. I say lean in. Lean in to what you love. You're a winter girl, so build your winter library with love. I'm currently reading Ember and the Ice Dragons. And I just finished reading Beyond the Frozen Horizon by Nicola Penfold, a middle-grade set in Svalbard. As a winter girl and a vegan, I think you'll like it.
Hi Emma! I'm a little late, but I love your book thrift vlog!❤❤❤📖📖📚 You'd be happy to know that I love book shopping at Barnes & Noble! It's heaven to me! I love to shop for new Fantasy books!✨️✨️📚📚🌠
Going over the budget seems to have been worth it! 😄 random thing, Emma: i finished a book recently and it became a new favorite and while it seems out of your usual enjoyed genres i couldn't help but to keep thinking you might enjoy it? It's called The Love Scribe by Amy Meyerson! It made me want to read Letters To A Young Poet by Rilke 🤭
I just finished reading The Extinction of Irena Rey by Jennifer Croft - who is one of Olga's English translators, for The Books of Jacob and Flights - and now I'm intrigued to read Olga's books. Croft pays tribute to translators and authors, and Olga specifically in The Extinction, and it made me curious about Olga's works.
I'm so glad you found two more Shakespeare plays! Everyone should read Othello, and there are a few very good filmed productions of it, one starring Anthony Hopkins, another with Sir Lawrence Oliver, and yet another with Branagh and Fishbourne. Apparently there is sort of tradition when staging Othello of the two leading characters, Othello and Iago, switching roles from night to night. Of course some people have criticized the use of white actors playing the black lead, but that's life. As for the other, Titus Andronicus, it contains a graphic scene of sexual violence against women, though IMHO it is so remote that the audience seldom is appalled or even shocked, as the characters sometimes seem almost like comic book depictions. The only good Titus I've seen stars Anthony Hopkins, and it is definitely worth watching. Take care.
I was so confused for a moment.. I have read two years ago "La panthère des neiges" by Sylvain Tesson who is a photographed and accompanied someone well acquainted with the animal and.. Also in Tibet! But it seems to be two different books. The book was non fiction. Beautifully written, very calm. Somehow it did not land on me, maybe it was not what I was in the mood for. But the writing had an impact on me still.
I'm honestly surprised you haven't read Othello! I've read it a good three times now, and it gets better after each read. It's one of those few Shakespearean plays where you can imagine exactly what's happening in the scenes and leave one haunted. One of my most favorite plays from Shakespeare of all time.
hello! I'm not sure if you're taking recommendations but if you like everything winter/ice/snow/etc, I would highly recommend you read two novels by Michelle Paver: Thin Air, which is about an expedition to the mountains; and Dark Matter, which is about an Arctic expedition. Both are ghost stories, but I personally would categorize them as psychological horror. I read both and loved them, but my personal favorite is definitely Thin Air since I love the mountains as a story setting. Hope you enjoy the books you picked up, that box set was intended to be on your shelves :D
Gurl I think there’s a horror game based on that haunted blizzard it’s pretty slow burn and really good maybe have a non commentary version of it running in back while reading it
I'm so happy whenever you vlog at your home town because it's just coziness overload
Ah gosh mom was having a great time giggling and being goofy today I love it 😊 “I’m not 60 yet” 😅
Nice to see you two crackin it up so sweet

Haha if you mean my mom she hates coffee and winter😅
@@emmiereads haha no! I meant you emma being both lorelai and rory (whose name is also lorelai) :) xx

@@tatieeeeee omg noooo lets not wish that on our pal emma haha
@@tatieeeeee lol god I hope not😂
Loved seeing Calcifer in the background keeping an eye on what was going on - he's suddenly become the "old man" of the kitty crew hasn't he?
i’m jealous of the selection of books in secondhand shops in english-speaking countries but not of the prices 😬 i’ve never thrifted a book for more than the equivalent of around $2

That lulu the pig stops traffic book is a gem. 😂

Brown and Dickson and Bread and Roses are two of ,y favourites!

Emma, this was so therapeutic u have no idea… in my city there are little to no book thrift stores😢
There is a movie for name Love as first bark, it was release in 2017!!
I had an idea:
A VIDEO WITH YOUR BROTHER PLAYING THE MAIL MAN (or you as the mail man and he as you, that should be really fun)
so will we be getting a raven cycle vlog... (please)

I honestly love vlogs with your fam and fur babies ❤️
Your mom is adorable!

Is anyone else concerned by the amount of time since Emma posted a video? It’s not typical. No pressure or anything, I just hope everything is okay.
She posted on instagram three days ago
@@Tolstoy111 thank you!
Love your videos. I live in Cambridge ON and will definitely be keeping these book stores in mind!
Keep up the good work!
Hi Emma! Love your videos. Can you do a video on how you prepare to read for 24 hrs? I want to do this and any helpful hints are appreciated! Hugs! 😊❤💚

Oh how I miss rolling up the actual rim. Since they’ve moved all to the app it’s just no fun anymore.
I love second hand. I thrift kids and teen and adult books with own money. I love those I do a kids book and teen and adult book giveway at applebees( 3701 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70002) i have given away 1200 books in 7 months
I've only every noticed bugs once in my books and they went away on their own, but good freezer tip! Will definitely remember that.
What's the hilarious book at 05:50? When you say you put the books in the freeezer you mean an actual freezer? Great video btw! book thrifting + instrumental jazz + a cat! 5/5 stars!
I put second hand clothes and books in there to prevent bed bugs, carpet beetles, silver fish and such kind of bugs😅
Your mon is so cute 😂 the way she literally couldn’t breath looking at that weird animal book had me wheezing lol reminded me of my own mom 😂
13:06 - Another classic. But his magnum opus is 'Clarissa'. Also one of the longest of its time (1300 pages). Surprisingly readable.
Was there a Grendel book club meeting in your town or something? So many copies lol
Emma ur such a comfort UA-camr like I love you 🫶
There are some really great finds in these stores!! They even had a copy of Icefields! Sadly I didn’t get to it this winter, but it’s still very much on my upcoming fiction list.
You look good early mornings. I love your glasses ❤
The kitty humane pictures look like wanted posters. Sooo cute. 😄😇💕

I've had a secondhand copy of Icefields sitting on my shelf for a couple years now, might be time to finally give it a read :)
If you like books with the word "snow" you should read "spring snow" by yukio mishima. Greetings from argentina 🇦🇷❤
I love your book video
Emmaaaaa read Dark Matter by Michelle Paver!!!!! Its first and foremost a winter book…. But with ghosts and a sprinkle of romance!!!
TITUS is amazing. Anthony Hopkins did the movie. Wonderful

I had that tactumi book in my cart! Sounds so cool. Please let us know if is cool! ♥️
4:01 I have that same edition of "O-Zone" by Paul Theroux. Literary Sci-Fi. It has been on my TBR for a decade. Maybe it's time.

I want to Write an American Novel entitled Danny's Provider
Just curious, but do you listen to the Books Unbound podcast? Both girls are also in Canada!
I love all your videos! I recently read a book I know you will love its called “The Snow Child” by Eowyn Ivey.
The American Novel i want to write Danny's Provider is so insanely true.
