So excited to watch this! Your vlogs always have such a calming atmosphere. It's a great way to start my morning
Literally it's the chair of my dreams I can't even
I think Kiki from Kiki's delivery service would be a pretty perfect costume. It's cozy, it's easy, it's modest, it's easily distinguishable. Anyway, that's my thought.

💌 I could only hope to make as lovely and as long but full-of-substance vids as you do, to talk about books as eloquently as you do, to see life the way you do. Much love for you, Emma. Thankful to have found you here on Booktube. Keep sparkling, Rue An ✨

I’m from the Philippines and seeing you take an interest in Noli Me Tangere makes me admire you more. I look forward to your reading vlogs about it. It’s an important piece of art in our Philippine history. 🙂
you’re so articulate and such a good speaker. very enjoyable to listen to you talk
I'm in love with that chair you found at the thrift store 😍 and your whole reading nook, the vibes ✨✨✨
Your videos are such a pleasure to watch. There's almost a therapeutic quality to them.
omg. I was surprised that she have noli me tangere! Love from Philippines 🥰
Aaahhh~ I hope you enjoy Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere. That book has been with the Philippines school curriculum, especially in high school and in the freshman year of college. The story is really fun and interesting. It also talks about a lot of intriguing or controversial topics, and the balance of the romance, mystery and action of these books are 👌 Hope you'll also read it's sequel, which is the El Filibusterismo. Everything will be explained there, the hows and whys. It's really fun that you'll also get annoyed and frustrated to some characters in both books 😊 I think you'll also get frustrated with Padre Damaso and will be annoyed at Padre Salvi 🤔 Sending love from Philippines 💕
I love how your videos are very long! Personally I love longer videos and you're the first KZreadr I've come across who publishes longer vidoes! :)) keep up the great content emmie ✨✨:)
Gorgeous corner of books, wonderful selection of books as well ... the Doll factory, one to check out !
Emma, you seem like a lovely person to be around. You have such an amazing energy and have a light around you that’s hard to find. You’re so smart and kind, if I knew you I’d be delighted to be friends with you!! Love you’re videos, they are always so calming.
I'm obsessed with this channel.
The amount of tabs you have in phantom is making me happy. I really want to read your copy just so I can get into your head in a way (even if you're yelling at us about it)
Your channel is sooo calming with the soothing music and stuff.....lov it❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely in love with your vlogs, Emmie 💓

You’re videos are my ASMR
I can't believe you know who Jose Rizal is! I hope you like Noli Me Tangere. It is a national treasure.
Your thumbnail sipping tea under the blanket tho
love your videos and suggestions. Every time i am one done with one of your videos i feel calm and inspired to pursue my journey as a reader. thanks a lot Emmie!!
hii could you maybe start putting your recepies into describtion? i just love cooking and baking and new recipies, i managed to guess recipe for apple pie that you made in your last video but i'd like to try other too
That chair is a wonderful score! Also, I found very helpful in my reading chair corner, I have a standing lamp behind the chair so that the light is actually USEFUL for reading.
'I also found this really cool young adult book and the sprayed edeges really drew me in' when you read it 🤮🤣💎
Thank you so much for another lovely video it’s now my routine to wind down on a Sunday evening with your reading vlogs! ♥️
I'm so happy you got Touch Me Not!!! :-)
I love everything about your videos, they have such a calming and sweet effect on me, thank you! 💌🍁
This was so lovely and cosy 🌸 thank you so much for these vlogs. I hope you are doing well. Have a fantastic day Emma ❤️ hugs!
I’m in the middle of schoolwork but I need to watch your vlogs ❤️, also I’ve read sheets over the summer and I really enjoyed it.📚✨
I'm a little obsessed with your book nook. I'll have to do something similar with all my shelves. Such an inviting reading space.
Omg Ginger snaps!! They are called Pepparkakor in Swedish, pepper-cookies haha. It's a Christmas cookie here :)
I've just stumbled across your channel and it's the most calming thing ever, just what I need right now, best find for a long time!
I loooove this Video! The vibe of it is just... idk sooo good and cozy✨
Your reading corner looks amazing! Wishing you many happy hours of reading there.
You could dress up as Christine from the masquerade ball for Halloween
I took a tour of the opera house and really liked it. it's such a beautiful building.
The view from your window is just so amazing.
Loved this video as always Emmie, so relaxing on a Sunday evening. Also obsessed with your new chair! If that’s not a reading chair I don’t know what is. I have a reading armchair and it’s one of my favourite places in the whole world! Hope you have a great week 🥰
Your chair is so beautiful! Such a wonderful and chill vlog 🍁🧡
this is the coziest reading vlog i've ever seen, thank you
i loved this vlog as always and i can’t wait to start phantom of the opera !
ma’am i love your content so very much. the vibes are so good
I am currently reading The Phantom of the Opera and I am loving it!!👻 And I am trying to learn French, so all the French words in the book are helping me learn! I love your videos, they're so comforting!❤❤
I always feel so peaceful watching your videos
Your vlogs are my favorite! 📚❤
this month is the first time i’m joining in with the book club and i’m so exited! the best way to spend halloween :) i’m about half way through Phantom and i’m absolutely loving it! Also I only found your channel about a month ago and it’s already been such a source of comfort and reading inspiration so thank you!!
I own that same edition of The Fellowship of the Ring! It’s so pretty!
I love your chair! Happy reading.
The Painted Girls is amazing!!!
I feel at peace when I watch your videos.
The Doll Factory has been on my tbr forever. Now i'm definitely picking it up! I'd love a more in depth review though 😊
I'm currently reading Loveless by Alice Oseman and omg so far 10/10. I'm pretty sure this is my favourite queer book ever so far. Not at all spooky, but definitely cozy. I saw someone else in the comments recommend Kiki for a costume and honestly I agree.
Your book nook is amazing! Love it so much! Also - fellowship of the ring! I'm hoping to read it in the next month or so.... I actually saved it to read in the darker damper autumnal season! 🍁🧡🍁
Well of all the premium channels I have and the movies I have access toI still prefer your videos most of all. Great job.
Omg! I can't wait to read Noli me Tangere!!! I had ever heard of it but I'm going to get my hands on it right away! I wanted to recommend Bless me Ultima, in case you have not heard of it. I had to read it for my Transcultural Perspectives at Uni and I just loved it (though I was really not sure about it at first!). It's magic realism so I think you might enjoy it 🌻And reeeally cool chair btw! Have a great week!! 💕🥰
I love the chair! Great vlog!!!
Hey Emma, I am reading Rilke now. Thank you for raving about it! Thank you so much. Like so much, i can't express it well enough. I cry in every pages of the poems. It makes me feel like I owe you a book/an author to recommend and I would like to recommend you Rumi. His poems are mystical/spiritual aka very similar to Rilke's. I hope you'll enjoy his works as much as I do (if you decide to pick it up someday). Thank youu. Stay safe and healthy ❤
having a little book nook is honestly my dream, but I started reading just last year so my book collection is too small :( (also love the chair!)
You got my bookmail!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 YAYYY
Sheets looks like the perfect book to read while listening to ghost choir videos :D
Re watching this and waiting for the fall months to come here in Ky!!!!!
Ah! I miss seeing your longer vlogs. 💜
Hi Emma! I am a new subscriber here ( just this month), and I am from the Philippines. I am just delighted to see you holding a copy of Noli me Tangere! Just want you to know that I am always enjoying every update of yours. All the love! 📚🧡
omg i hope you love Red Rising! i read it earlier this year after owning it for years and it instantly made it to my favourites list!!!! the writing is gorgeous and the story is so compelling, and i don't usually read sci-fi so that says a lot!!! loved this video
I love the chair you purchased ! The matching couch was also amazing ! I'm a new subscriber,and I'm really enjoying all your videos.I'm a bit distracted by the background noise from the traffic.You are fun to watch and have a certain style that's enjoyable, and endearing.
aww I love the book nook 🥰 the muffins look delicious and aahh please watch Kiki's, it's such a wonderful movie! oh my gosh a Phantom graphic novel, I'll need that 🌙 lovely video as always - love you 💜🌿
Love your videos ♥️♥️♥️
Awesome vlog as always🦋
I mean, clearly you should dress up as the Phantom, no? You already have the cape! I'm insanely jealous of your book nook, omg. My new goal in life. I haven't managed to start reading for the readathon yet, but as of tomorrow I'll finally be past my midterms and hope to squeeze in We Have Always Lived in the Castle and Haunting of Hill House before Halloween!
how do you find the time to read? i've been bombarded with so much work that even when i do catch a break, i spend it scrolling through social media :(

@@emmiereads ...this is pretty late but you should check out the mystwick school of musicraft on audible. It's a middle grade book, kind of got harry potter vibes, but with instruments to use magic. They made a physical copy, but the audiobook has music and effects when they perform. It's a cozy little read. They released a prequel, and a sequel should be coming out.
you'd look so good as Wendy (the mum) from the shinning! 💕
I'm reading Sharp Objects too! We're reading at the same time, I'm excited to learn more about what you think... so far same as me haha
What a coincidence! I’m from the Philippines as well and my real name is Khristle, the same way you pronounced the sender’s name ♥️♥️♥️
There is a second book coming out In March of 2021 called Delicates it continues where the Sheets story leaves off. I also thought the first was rushed but I’m glad there is another to continue the story
Highkey waiting for the day you go to Paris and visit the opera house
I love that book by Jose Rizal. He means so much to the philippines and their fight for independence from the spanish. My fiance introduced it to me! His name is pronounced (hoe-sey rih-zal) btw 😊
Second hand books 😍 🛋♥️
this video healed and calmed me, Emma! 🥰 I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, currently finishing The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and listening to Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. I’m so happy to see Noli Me Tangere in this video - I, too, studied it during my high school years in the Philippines and it has changed me. El Filibusterismo is the next book after Noli! Both are evocative, emotional and thought-provoking. Also, you should dress up as Neil Gaiman’s Coraline ✨
I was watching your Belle Funko behind you and I jus thought... You should be Belle for Halloween! There is definitely a resemblance, inside and outside 🥀
Hi Emmie. Listen: A few months ago you expressed an interest in philosophy. When you're ready again, try Jacques Derrida. Maybe not _Of Grammatology_ or _Dissemination_ at first but one of the shorter ones you can read in French. I think that you'll like it.
You chair is b e a u t i f u l. What an incredible find!! Looking forward to hearing what you think of Wilbur Smith because I've seen his ancient Egypt books a lot at secondhand bookstores, but I've never tried out his work either. also YELLING I can't believe you have Noli Me Tangere!!!! had to read that back in high school too (but honestly i was too dumb for it, especially since we studied it in Filipino class and the Filipino in the book was way too deep for me to comprehend huhu) so excited to hear your thoughts on it!!
I am currently reading Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain as well as Daisy Jones and the Six. I bought a used copy of Frankenstein that wasn't in bad shape. Some one had written their name in black Sharpie on the inside of the cover and on the length of the book.
I know this is booktube but please, please watch Kiki’s Delivery Service! You won’t be disappointed!!

Can you make a video about how you annotate your books??
Emma :) I am sorry for not commenting on your last few videos!! I've moved to iceland for the winter because I finally finished my bachelors and I got made redundant from my part-time job. Hahah I am so sorry for the deluge of random information I've just given you! I am finding a lot of solace with your videos as I am quite alone here - somewhat free and very much enjoying wrapping up and treating myself to very hot tea of all kinds. Can't wait to join the readathon :) thank you for all your wonderful videos
Thats a brand new recent ish chair in a vintage style I think. If it was really old it would be in much worse condition.. Great find tho . Perfect for your nook!
As someone who watched your other video with your opinions on "Kingdom of Little Wounds", all I can say is....Honey, you've got a big storm coming😶
i don't know why but i can picture you as Kiki from Kiki's delivery service!! i think you'll look really good in that costume. edit: i just got to 7:08 and here you said you started reading the book Kiki's delivery service!! omggg.... this is wholesome

Oh maybe you should dress as the red death like in phantom 💀
Oh, and I just went to the thrift store yesterday, saw The Castle of Otranto and.... it didn't register in my brain. I didn't buy it. *sad sniff* (I did find other goodies however so I can't complain.)
Do Coraline!! You did a good dress up for her on Instagram!!!
I read Phantom of the Opera and am already half way through We have Always lived in the castle. I loved Phantom of the Opera .....and I don't know why I was constantly imagining you as Christine (from Phantom of the Opera)...the angelic voice brought me instantly thinking of you❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing this book with us!!! P.S. You could totally dress as Daaé for the Halloween readathon 🙈 It played like a movie in my head all the time
Hi! Amazing video:) Where did you get that copy of “a phantom of the opera”? I really loved the cover💕
I'm also reading Red Rising!!! I'm listening to the audiobook, and the main character used a Scottish accent for a while. So far, it's kinda weird, but not sure if that's a bad thing or not at this point. The first few chapters are pretty good, though.
