    Your chat about Baldwin was everything, he is such an emotional genius and the impact he has had on other forms of art and his literary legacy are just so inspiring

    I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but as I’m approaching 40 in a couple years, I’ve totally accepted naps are great. Embrace the nap!

    Christmas pudding was my first book that I read of hers so wasn’t initially impressed but I went on to read pursuit of love and do love her now

    Your mom saying saying whiskey, scotch and bourbon are the same thing will upset people is hilarious and true.

    I got the 101 essays for Christmas and I have read some of it....it is generic tiktok reel life coach advice. I didn’t find anything in it interesting so far but will keep reading. There’s one essay I have bookmarked called ‘16 questions that will show you who you are’...but the rest of it is meh. Emma read Nightwood by Djuna Barnes... existential crisis and angsty sapphics. Short enough for us dyslexic darlings too. Read it!

    you're so right about Seven Husbands, one of the twists at the end undermined one of the best things TJR set up at the beginning of the story in a really amateurish way and it so could have been better

    So, definitely not upset. I'd be more than happy to explain the differences between Scotch, Bourbon and Whiskey.
    Scotch is whisky made is scotland. Whiskey spelt with an E is whisky that's not made in Scotland, notably Irish Whiskey this was used as a marketing differentiator.
    Bourbon is whiskey made in America ( i don't remember which state) from rye that comes from corn. Basically your mum's right it's the geographical location and the ingredients used, in Scotland and Ireland whiskey/whisky is made from malted barley while in the US it's made from corn.

    I think - I THINK, may not be correct - Irish whiskey is Whiskey, Scottish whiskey is Scotch and American whiskey is Bourbon

    Perhaps I’m mistaken, but do you not have a tv or just not watch tv much? Perhaps it’s my familys obsession with sport but it’s very often on even on special occasions.

    A book rec: if you loved Baldwin's novel, you will enjoy "A Single Man" by Christopher Isherwood.

    Hi Emma! I love your channel. I was wondering whether you would be interested in doing a reading challange? I have an uncontrollable compulsion for buying books. However, that does not necessarily mean that I actually read all of them. I kind of want to buy some more. But, I've promised myself that I would not purchase any more, until I've read at least 9-10 of the ones I already have. So, I was wondering whether you'd like to do a challenge like this one? It would make it easier on me if I would see someone else do it. Anyways, Happy New Year! Have a lovely day!

    • @dokidoki719

      I would be interested in a read along...if you like. I have struggled reading because of life issues and would like to get back to it and I would love someone to discuss things with.
