“Anne of green gables” series is my favorite book series, you should read the sequels too, they are very very good. Especially “Anne of the Island”. It’s a gift to love a heroine and grow up with her, following her in many stages of her life.
Would you recommend reading the entire series, or is there a certain point you'd suggest to stop at? It seems to be a long series and I worry that the later books might not be as good!
@@chiroptophilia honestly, I’d recommend reading just the first, third, and the fifth book. The second book is not as good and you can skip it. Same goes for book 4 because it’s just a compilation of letters Anne sent to Gilbert. The rest of the series is about Anne’s kids, which is not as fun. For more info, I’d recommend watching Drinking by my shelf’s readathon of the series! Hope this helps!
It's sad to think of all the time I wasted procrastinating, when i could've been reading. For so much time i was on denial for literature, and who knew.... Lately it's been helping me cope with my anxiety. Just ordered some goodies and One Hundred Years of Solitude is one them, so excited.
i will never get over how soothing your voice is. in the most complimentary way possible, i’ve fallen asleep to your videos more times than i can count. you have a radio-worthy voice :]
Oliver Twist is one of the only Dickens' book that I have read, so believe it or not, you saying that it was boring was really validating and it actually inspired me to pick up more of his books knowing that there some I might connect with more.
I am gonna say it endless times, Anne of Green Gables is my most favourite book ever! It is a charm that everyone needs in their life. It soothes your soul, sparkles your eyes and gives a warm hug.🌸 It is a masterpiece!💕 And I am really really glad that you have loved it!!!☺
I miss actual classrooms so much. There is something about sitting in a classroom that makes it special and memorable. Hope we are allowed to go back this year.
i DNF’d Leave the World Behind after she listed off all those groceries because i, too, was thinking “why would you write this?” but now hearing your interpretation of why…… I might have to give it another try!
omg ur hair, the jewellery, the shirt, the teeny dragon, the cozy setup, everything is a LOOK!! I have the audiobook for leave the world behind on hold, I hope I like it as well!!!
Growing up my mom wouldn’t let me read sci-fi. Anne Shirley was one of the books she approved of. You should definitely read the rest of them. There are 8 books about Anne. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
The whole Anne of Green Gables series is amazing! I was about to say that Anne of Windy Poplar was my favorite but then I thought maybe Anne of Avonlea was actually my favorite but then I remembered Anne's House of Dreams and how that was my favorite..... so my favorites are books 3, 4, and 5. I HIGHLY recommend The Blue Castle, it is my FAVORITE Montgomery book!
As a young man, having somewhat surreptitiously enjoyed the CBC adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (huge crush on Megan Follows btw) in the 80's I can't believe I never got around to reading the first book until now (some 20+ years later). Anyway, agreed with everything you said about it.
I read Anne of Green Gables a really long time ago but I remember absolutely adoring it so I think it's time for a reread! I also recently bought The God of Small Things and One Hundred Years of Solitude because of how much you loved them and I can't wait to get into them!
i picked up anne of green gables at the bookstore the other day! it sounds wonderful and i’m excited to read it since you enjoyed it so much 😊 oooh miyazaki world sounds interesting!
Your necklace is so pretty it reminds me of jam drop biscuits haha. 😂 I love listen to you ramble about books in the background while I do my activities lol
English and Literature classes were my least favorite from middle through high school. Last year I started reading regularly again. You've kindled a fire for me on these subjects. The worlds in all the greatest books may have laid dormant for me, if it wasn't for you!
your voice alone makes all of your videos worth watching! and then there's the fact that you talk about your books with so much passion that i end up wanting to read them all
It's been about a decade since I read Oliver Twist, but I still was like "yeah, same" at the face you made when you showed the book haha. Looking forward to the liveshow.
I've discovered your channel very recently and I just wanted to say I love it so much, it's so cozy and wholesome. You made me want to start reading more frequently again and my passion for literature (which had been dead for years due to mental health issues), came back thanks to you. I wish you lots of success and send you lots of love from Argentina
Thanks for sharing your readings, Emma. So happy you loved Anne of Green Gables, it's so good! Your edition is gorgeous. I'm very interested in the book about Miyazaki. Love your necklace!🌷🦋💖✨
Rilla of Ingleside, the last book from the Anne series, is often forgotten but it is a literary masterpiece, and has also a great historical value, as it is the only canadian book contemporary to the first world war that portraits the war from the perspective of a woman, and was also one of the first non-Australian texts to mention the Gallipoli campaign and what happened there with the ANZACs. Although less known, I also recommend you, from the same author (L. M. Montgomery), my other favourite books ever: the trilogy of Emily of New Moon, which is like the gothic version of Anne of Green Gables, but is also quite different from the Anne Shirley books. The Emily books are highly based on L.M.Montgomery's life, and Alice Munro considered them to be the best books in Canadian Literature.
Anne of Green Gables was converted into a teledrama in Sri Lanka and I was in love. I watched it everyday. It was not just a teledrama but kind of a musical too. The songs were beautiful. And it was set in the coldest area in Sri Lanka - Nuwaraeliya. The location was breathtaking. All those flowers, the beautiful lake, pine trees, the mist and Anne's beautiful home make me want to run back to my childhood. Also I was a huge fan of Emily ofNew Moon which is also written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I hope you'd read it Emmie and tell us your thoughts. It may not be as good as Anne but it's still very likeable 🤗❤️
It was a a rough week for me.. but your videos help me calm down. I listen to them as i write down my notes. They help me stay awake late into night as i study; i appreciate them so much! Love❤
Emma, hi :) I just wanted to thank you so much for your videos and actually for the person you are as well. I haven't been feeling the best and your videos, your channel, your reccomendations, even the main colors in your videos and visuals, everything has been kinda my safe place to go in these troubling times in my life. I don't know you personally but just being in here, watching your videos made me feel okay, I felt like you were my friend. You've helped me so much without even knowing. I just thought maybe knowing that you made this anxious girl from across the ocean happy might make you happy too, I know everyone needs to feel that sometimes. Thank you so much for what you put out into the world with your time and effort. I have some amazing books in my mind that I think you might love but I'm from Turkey and most of our literature isn't translated except Pamuk ofcourse. Actually you made me want to read Pamuk but I'm waiting for winter to read some of his works :D Anyhow, I just wanted to say thank you and I truly hope you have an amazing day, amazing life. You deserve it so much, I'm so happy that I've come across you. Thanks for making my safe place possible, with your words, your philosophy, your books and ofcourse your plants :) Thank you so much for making me feel accepted. Happy reading :) and just... thank you. Btw: I don't know if you read it but Women Who Run With The Wolves is the most perfect book to read, to see myths and fairytales about women impoverment. There are so many tales about the power of women but they are not wildy promoted like the rest of the tales we see implemented today and they mostly belong to minority populations, book really goes into their histories as well. I really think you would really love it, it's one of my favourite books of all time. It's filled with folklore and what every little symbolism means. It's truly a great book. And Siddharta by Herman Hesse is a great place to start Budishm as well :))) It's basically the story of Buddha himself by the lenses of fiction and storytelling.
Have you ever read Milan Kundera? Obviously his most famous book is The Unbearable Lightness of Being but his other popular book, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, is one of my all-time favorites. If you were looking for a Czech writer for your challenge, I highly recommend!
@@yaelvargaskusnirugh yeah that is definitely something that runs throughout his books 😞 it’s something that irritated me but I was able to look pass more so in the book of laughter and forgetting because I loved it so much. Don’t force yourself! But if you’re willing to give it a shot, I’d definitely go with the book of laughed and forgetting over the unbearable lightness of being.
The way you described Leave the World Behind really piqued my interest! Love your videos. Definitely has helped me stick to reading more. Finished four books in the last six weeks, which is lovely for a change! Not sure what to pick up after finishing the Night Circus but I'll think on it! Thank you!
My favourite lovely nature garden book is still The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett :) If Anne of Green Gables is equally delightful, I might just have to give it a go.
I have just finished reading Leave the world behind, I can’t understand how people would dislike such a magnificent novel. The way you described it just touches the right topics in the right way ❤️ I’m so glad I followed your advice and picked it up. Now I really know I can trust your recommendations. Also, Alam’s prose reminds me so much of McEwan’s. Have you ever read him?
Hearing you talk about Red Rising like that was like a punch in the guts 😬 Probably my all time favourite series but I still understand what you mean about Darrow. He’s a special kind of arrogant but I still love him.
Fun Fact: There a many themed B&Bs, particularly in Florida, that are definitely worth the experience to stay. The ones I've seen are so amazingly detailed, it feels like you are actually there. I've seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park ,and Harry Potter, and I bet there are a ton of other different themed ones out there!
Orbiting Jupiter was by far my best read of June. I just know that I will be in the biggest book slump EVER because of this book. Was it the most beautifully written book? No it wasn’t but it had you so hooked on the characters and you just so deeply feel for them. I sobbed. So much.
If you haven't read it yet I can really recommend 'A Gentleman in Moscow' by Amor Towles! I just finished it yesterday and I must say I personally really enjoyed it. You pretty much just follow the main character's life over the years as he lives out his sentence of exile in 'The Metropol' Hotel in Moscow, starting in the 1920's and ending in the 1950's. The writing is so nice and witty, I can definitely recommend it! :)
Just finished Generation A by Douglas Coupland about an hour ago. Yay!!!!.... I'm in that afterglow after finishing one fantastic novel when you just stare at your bookshelf before picking the next :)
Oh wow. I'm Canadian so I've always felt like I should read Anne of Green Gables but have never gravitated toward it except on the notion that its a canadian-lit icon. But I've never really understood why people like it, so I never picked it up. The way you described it though, I understand why it's so good. I'll give it a read soon for sure.
I am so glad I found your channel 🥰. We are in the middle of a COVID lockdown here in Sydney and this has really brightened up my day. Thank you for your great work!
List of books ☺️🐠: CLASSICS 1, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery 2, The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales by Franz Xaver Schönwerth 3, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens NON-FICTION 4, Miyazaki World by Susan Napier 5,The World of Tibetan Buddhism by The Dalai Lama MYSTERY / THRILLER 6, Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam SCIENCE FICTION 7, Red Rising by Pierce Brown MANGA 8, Sailor Moon vol.2
I’m wondering if anyone has read the blue castle by L.M.Montgomery? It’s absolutely an amazing book! If you like classic then I think you should give it a try. I just finished it today and fell in love with it 😍. It’s now one of my all time favorite books. I just didn’t get why there’s no movie made based on the book?! 😭 love this book so much 😍
@@jane-xe9qx I haven't read a lot of her (she is my favorite wrtitter but it's not easy to find her books). One that i liked was " the doctor's sweetheart and other stories" (a colection of short stories). And i really want to read " the blue castle " but i can't find it.
Omg, I've never met anybody who had read it too!! I love the Emily books, maybe even more than the Anne ones. It is like if Anne Shirley had a gothic cousin, their so different yet they have many things in common!!
Anne of green gables will forever be a favourite book of mine. I have read the book so many times throughout the years. I think I first read it when I was 9 or 10 and pretended to be her. Another good book of LM Montgomery is The Story Girl. It’s a bit different from Anne -Sarah the main character is more moody and mysterious - and there’s lots of little stories within this book which I liked. quite an enjoyable read if you want another LM Montgomery book beyond the Anne series.
That book you speak highly of sounds interesting.I picked up another of your favourites Frankenstein In Baghdad.I loved Oliver Twist and if in years to come you don't see it with fresh eyes why then I'll eat my own head!❤️
If you’re looking for lesser known, still somewhat embellished fairy tales, Jen Campbell’s new book sounds like a great fit. Not out yet but there’s recent video on her channel where she reads one of the stories aloud. She takes 12 or 13 lesser known fairy tales from around the world and retells them. I’d definitely check out her video, she added sound effects and stuff, so fun!
I’m soooo glad you got to read Anne of Green Gables! I wish I could read it for the first time again but at the same time it is such a joy to return to Avonlea each time I reread it, which is probably too often. The characters steal my heart every time.❤️
Anne of Green Gables-
At 57 years old and thousands of books read, it’s my favorite book ever.
“June was an okay month for me”
*read 1000000 books*
I think she meant the enjoyment from those books, not the quantity.
Watching emma's videos is literally the best moment of the day.
Anne with an E deserves more seasons and definitely, definitely more recognitions!
Agree.
I agree
Yesss!
It deserves so so so much more
“Anne of green gables” series is my favorite book series, you should read the sequels too, they are very very good. Especially “Anne of the Island”. It’s a gift to love a heroine and grow up with her, following her in many stages of her life.
I think Anne of the Island is the best.
Anne of Island is my favourite one too
I also really love Anne of the Island!
Would you recommend reading the entire series, or is there a certain point you'd suggest to stop at? It seems to be a long series and I worry that the later books might not be as good!

Omg saaameeee. Ive recently ordered some books too! Trying to get back into it. Good luck sweets :)
I feel the same
i will never get over how soothing your voice is. in the most complimentary way possible, i’ve fallen asleep to your videos more times than i can count. you have a radio-worthy voice :]
i think you would adore anne of avolnlea and anne of the island... you MUST continue with anne's stories. truly the best books of my childhood.
Oliver Twist is one of the only Dickens' book that I have read, so believe it or not, you saying that it was boring was really validating and it actually inspired me to pick up more of his books knowing that there some I might connect with more.
highly recommend a tale of two cities! it’s so interesting and such a good story with really great characters
@@lenapgl How amazing! That is the one I am most interested in!... might need to shoot it to the top of my TBR!
Emma, I'm a writer... and everytime I watch your videos, it inspires me to write! Magical.
I am gonna say it endless times, Anne of Green Gables is my most favourite book ever! It is a charm that everyone needs in their life. It soothes your soul, sparkles your eyes and gives a warm hug.🌸
It is a masterpiece!💕
And I am really really glad that you have loved it!!!☺
I miss actual classrooms so much. There is something about sitting in a classroom that makes it special and memorable. Hope we are allowed to go back this year.
Sometimes I think everyone hated / hates school, because I did so much.
Thanks for the reality check :D
i DNF’d Leave the World Behind after she listed off all those groceries because i, too, was thinking “why would you write this?” but now hearing your interpretation of why…… I might have to give it another try!

The Count of Monte Cristo was my favourite book of the month and possibly of all time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Growing up my mom wouldn’t let me read sci-fi.
Anne Shirley was one of the books she approved of.
You should definitely read the rest of them. There are 8 books about Anne. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
You're literally the reason I finally gained my reading spirit 🤸♀️🤸♀️ THANK YOU SO MUCH people love my taste in books now haha
Just started Anne Of Green Gables. I totally agree with you, im just two chapters in and so delighted by the writing.
omg i just started watching but your whole outfit is so cute 🥺
awe thank you lovely
The whole Anne of Green Gables series is amazing! I was about to say that Anne of Windy Poplar was my favorite but then I thought maybe Anne of Avonlea was actually my favorite but then I remembered
Anne's House of Dreams and how that was my favorite..... so my favorites are books 3, 4, and 5. I HIGHLY recommend The Blue Castle, it is my FAVORITE Montgomery book!

I loved Anne of Green Gables…I’m about to re read on audio…I’ve prob read it 4 times and I’ve visited the home on PEI twice. I love all your videos.
why was I desperately waiting for your video? 🥺 OMG, the background though!!! ❤️
Hello! Lucky girl! it is raining! Thank you very much for the recommendations! You are a gem!
Emma's videos have the most calm and relaxing vibes ❤❤
Thank you, Emma. And congratulations to 150 000 subscribers!
Since you like nature being described, you should definitely read Ruskin Bond. He's amazing
and your voice is just sooothhhiiiinggggg...
I love hearing you....
The way you described Leave the World Behind really piqued my interest! Love your videos. Definitely has helped me stick to reading more. Finished four books in the last six weeks, which is lovely for a change! Not sure what to pick up after finishing the Night Circus but I'll think on it! Thank you!
YOU ARE A COTTAGECORE PRINCESS AND LIKE YASSS THE VIBESSSS
Is how you describe books for me. Definitely made me fall in love yet again.
My favourite lovely nature garden book is still The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett :) If Anne of Green Gables is equally delightful, I might just have to give it a go.

Wow Emma, you do SUCH AN AMAZING JOB keeping me eager to read, I love love love the way you talk about books 🥰

Girl, the way you talk about these books is poetic😘
The quality of writing in Anne of Green Gables floored me. Montgomery was a talent I had neglected to read for far too long. And she made me sob.
Emmaaa your hair looks sooo good we stan 💕
I started Miyazakiworld after you gave it 4 stars on goodreads and it’s absolutely amazing 🥺♥️ Hayao miyazaki is my favorite filmmaker ♥️
Emma and Ruby Granger are the best things ever happened in my life. 🤍

I just finished it today and fell in love with it 😍. It’s now one of my all time favorite books. I just didn’t get why there’s no movie made based on the book?! 😭 love this book so much 😍

Can you recomend me more books like that?
@@jane-xe9qx The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
@@jane-xe9qx I haven't read a lot of her (she is my favorite wrtitter but it's not easy to find her books). One that i liked was " the doctor's sweetheart and other stories" (a colection of short stories). And i really want to read " the blue castle " but i can't find it.
@@villinaudasi5418 yeah, not from the same author, but a really good book, i really like it.
Omg, I've never met anybody who had read it too!! I love the Emily books, maybe even more than the Anne ones. It is like if Anne Shirley had a gothic cousin, their so different yet they have many things in common!!
Anne of green gables will forever be a favourite book of mine. I have read the book so many times throughout the years. I think I first read it when I was 9 or 10 and pretended to be her. Another good book of LM Montgomery is The Story Girl. It’s a bit different from Anne -Sarah the main character is more moody and mysterious - and there’s lots of little stories within this book which I liked. quite an enjoyable read if you want another LM Montgomery book beyond the Anne series.
Her voice is soooo soothing 💫💫
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! First of all your voice - amazing, book recommendations - amazing + you're gorgeous
For the time being, your videos are working as an escape route for me. Wholesome content. 🧘
That book you speak highly of sounds interesting.I picked up another of your favourites Frankenstein In Baghdad.I loved Oliver Twist and if in years to come you don't see it with fresh eyes why then I'll eat my own head!❤️
glad to see you reading so much - you’re motivating me 🤓
If you’re looking for lesser known, still somewhat embellished fairy tales, Jen Campbell’s new book sounds like a great fit. Not out yet but there’s recent video on her channel where she reads one of the stories aloud. She takes 12 or 13 lesser known fairy tales from around the world and retells them. I’d definitely check out her video, she added sound effects and stuff, so fun!
i love this filming location!
I love your necklace! Where did you get it from? 😊
I love your jewelry!
I’ve been meaning to get around to Oliver Twist and I’m looking forward to your full review!
it’s been a long time since i’ve read brave new world but that’s what the premise of red rising reminds me of
I feel like Emma is the embodiment of sunshine 🥺
Oliver twist was a good book it's one of my favorite books
I just want you to know that with every video you release you make this Portuguese fan smile. beijinhos :) xau
this is my first video of you... and i'm kindda in love. your voice is so soothing your like the bob ross of books XD
Whattttt, I loved Oliver Twist! I did read it in a few days instead of a little bit every day.
I’m soooo glad you got to read Anne of Green Gables! I wish I could read it for the first time again but at the same time it is such a joy to return to Avonlea each time I reread it, which is probably too often. The characters steal my heart every time.❤️
Almost sounds like a medieval 'Weekend at Bernies'.
I will keep 'Leave the World Behind' in mind. It sounds fascinating.
