One of the best sci romance I’ve read is one that literally reads like a poem. It’s so beautiful and jarring and a wonderful mixture of nature and space. It’s how to lose the time war and I’d take a bullet for it. It swings between a narrative and a letter exchange format it’s super good.

I love love love your enthusiasm for reading. You are so adorable.

I’m currently reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries and really enjoying it.

Next time you get a hardback, can you show us what's underneath the dust jacket? Sometimes there are beautiful surprises hiding underneath. I was curious to see what was under the jacket of Emily Wildes Encyclopedia of Faeries.

I got a shiver when you mentioned the "-ology" books. Dragonology was my entire life. We had Pirateology too and that book inspired my siblings and I to turn our back deck into a pirate ship and those were some of the most fun times

Ahhh The sweet sound of a package being opened when you know there is a book inside. 🥰

Hi, Emma! I think we're in the same year in college. This has been the most gruelling semester ever 😩. You're right that drowning in wholesome books really work instead of absorbing the more difficult ones. I'm in the middle of reading Comet in Moominland, and The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is in my tbr. Happy reading! Goodluck in uni!

For sci-fi romance I would definitely recommend Shards of Honor (the first in the Vorkosigan series) by Lois McMaster Bujold! It first came out in the 80s but it totally deserves a resurgence.

For me it was the "You have bewitched me, body and soul" like you have all my heart emmie

the most thing i love about you the positive energy that I get from you videos

This book haul is almost a fraction of the size of the one Emma will end up buried under when she sets up a new PO box and everyone starts sending her things again lol Speaking of historical fantasy, read Strange & Norrell soonish please 🙏 and also YES Dragonology/etc. was my entire childhood and I very much want to write a book like that one day

Looking at the stupid-ass ACOTAR map I would also like to point out that "Hybern" sounds suspiciously like "Hibernia" which is the Latin name for Ireland - and it also looks rather familiar on the map... (I have not read the book but clearly that is just Ireland)

Wowsers!! 18 books in the one haul! Seriously impressed! Like you, I rarely buy new or new release books, I much prefer either Thrift stores and Op-shops. I have to say... You are just too cute! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I never noticed how adorable it is that you smell each book! Love it!

Yay shout out to Gavin! I love him! He is a light

i used to take out the rainbow fairy books in the local library and loved every single one of them!! also i read wizardolgy and it was a stunning book

Ohh I needed a new book haul from my fave 💕 my last bookdepository order came in this week, I share the pain 💔 squishy hugs to you and Cal

Book haul on a Sunday. I'm so happy! 😊

Just wanna drop this video idea here: I watched The Phantom of the Opera a few days ago and since then I've been obsessed, unfortunately I can't read the book yet (but I will!). Then I remember that is one of your favorites and came craving for a whole video about it, but didn't cover the entire book, and the a thought that would be amazing a long (yes) vlog rereading it and maybe one and other retelling. Like an overdose of Phantom of the Opera 🤲🏻 Love your videos ❤

Highly recommend World of Books for ordering cheaper, secondhand and new books. I've been buying from them for years, and they've been great. They're also more eco-friendly as a company (as far as I've been able to tell) and have a very small carbon offset charge to orders. Just a thought for anyone mourning Book Depository's death lol.

Heather Fawcett also released a middlegrade witchy retelling of Anne of Green Gables this year. It was so cute

I truly love the commentary on the smell of the pages 🤣

I love your enthusiasm and energy. Keep up the good work. Bravo Bella

Just read Frostheart a couple months ago and really enjoyed it! The illustrations are lovely, and the whole thing has strong How to Train Your Dragon vibes!

I absolutely LOVED the once upon a broken heart books

Emma, I wanna recommend the manga - Yona of the Dawn! Its fantasy, its got adventure, romance, palace intrigue, a morally grey character, and Yona undergoes some of the best character development I've ever seen! I went into it thinking it'd be a regular shoujo manga (those are super fun too! ) but was pleasantly surprised by the depth and just overall fun vibes? Highly recommend!

Oh my Goddess! If you love retelling you should absolutely read Splintered by H. G. Howard. It's a retell of Alice in Wonderland and it's freaking awesome! I haven't read the entire trilogy but I can vow for the first one

I'm trying to get into reading and you're making it so much easier for me. I'm currently reading Eight Perfect Murders and I'm loving it. Thanks 😊

kitchen princess was so good but so hard to find 😭 finally was able to borrow from our local library

omg a company of swans!! i read that book years ago and loved it

❤ This was so wholesome and cozy ❤

gosh frostheart looks so amazing

This maybe a highly unpopular opinion but I’m so exhausted with romance taking over YA and other Fantasy/ Science Fiction. I really just want strong world building, great characters and lots of magic and action.

You'll probably love the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews. It's a romance series, sort of urban fantasy/sci fy. The main character is an innkeeper that has what it looks like a B&B but it's an inn for intergalastical species and she can design each room based on her guests' needs and culture. I actually thought of recommending it to you when you talked about hotels, but now that you mentioned sci-fy romance I was like!!!

missed you more

All most all of these sound amazing. I have been watching so many book videos and only a couple have really caught my eye good but almost all of these sound perfect. LOVE. ❤❤❤😊 Thank you.

Gideon the ninth is almost a si-fi romance I would recommend that!

I'm so so excited for you to read acotar!! they're really good books, the first book is alright but trust me they get better. I hope you'll enjoy and also find comfort in the beautiful fantasty world that Sarah J Maas created :) much love xxx

Hi Emma, i was wondering could you make "wholesome" tag on goodreads? I am in NEED of some books and it would be amazing to have a list from person i trust with book reccs

i also used to buy from bookdepository but since it closed, i moved to buying from kennys bookshop & art gallery (from ireland) and they're cheaper, both used or new and they ship for 1 euro each book. totally recommend it.

I love how to train your Gavin too

I recommend Some Desperate Glory, by Emily Tesh! Queer romance in space, but also so much more!! I just finished it and it was one of my favourite reads of the year. I’m really sure you’ll love it as well!

I have a few of the ologies books and they are so cool. Most of them have extra stuff in them like games and cards.

I really like the Consortium Rebellion Trilogy by Jessie Mihalik for Science Fiction Romance. The first and third one are a bit insta-lovey but I still really enjoyed them :)

Hi Emma, If you’re getting into manga I’d recommend “Snow white with the red hair” what initially got me interested is that the female protagonist is a herbalist! You always have the most lovely videos btw

My life became a little less miserable after you put the coffee on your shelves. Thank you for caring about our mental health💛

Your videos make me so excited to read!!!

I didn't get bookmarks in my panic last purchase Depository order and it made me beyond sad, literally no other site had everythinggg and free shipping😭

Omg what a lovely haul 😍 Pleaseeee read all the way through ACOTAR! The second book in the series gets sooo good!

finally someone else who is a sommelier for books' smells

I don't need a new book but after watchig this... maybe? 😂 definitely waiting for the booktube review. I'm excited! ❤

I think you’d like Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. It's a ghost story, but its set entirely in snow and ice in 1937’s Norway!

I also recently bought Emily Wilde's encyclopaedia of faeries and I'm so excited about it!

Emma your reaction to the Magnolia Parks cover was very similar to my own reaction. Please look up the second book in that series it has an INSANE cover that makes me thing whoever was designing it threw everything they could think of onto it.

For sci-fi romance, I'd REALLY recommend This Is How You Lose The Time War.This book has been getting a lot of popularity due to Twitter and its really good. Another would be Winter's Orbit, which is a space opera. Both of these books are also queer! So, happy reading! :D

Here’s a wintery rec from one fan of snow to another: ‘Robbergirl’ by ST Gibson It’s a sapphic retelling of the Snow Queen that takes place in Sweden. A very quick read by one of my favourite authors of all time ❄️

If you ever wanna read a deep philosophical fantasy i would really recommend "til we have faces" by cs lewis. it's a retelling of the myth of eros and psyche but from the perspective of psyche's sister. a great read

I really enjoyed your video recreating recipes from "Kitchen Princess"--maybe you could do another one for Omnibus 2? Btw, I'm fairly sure there's a Korean movie or drama based on "I Have the Right to Destroy Myself".🧡

Idk if you’ve read them yet but for winter books I highly recommend Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K LeGuin!

You may have read some of David Walliams' books before, but if not I would highly recommend them! David Walliams writes a lot of middle grade fiction and it's super entertaining, it also often deals with a lot of serious issues really well. I haven't read any of his newer books but when I was younger I loved Gangster Granny, Ratburger, and The Boy in the Dress. Would love to see you read them, I think you'd really enjoy his work!

"grandma you read some fire books" 🤣🤣

you picking up magnolia parks is my sign to do it too 🤣

When you showed The Winter King, my eyebrows actually went up in surprise. Thinking, Emma bought this!? This isn't her.

Cooking princess!! You found it 😭 love emmai! 😖 Xo

Damn now I can't wait for that ACOTAR vlog 😭

Lol the anxiety the coffee gave me 😂😂 I'm so excited to see what you think of Court of Thorns etc series. Not something I'd probably ever read but of course I see it everywhere and I've watched other reviews and...ohmigosh the ridiculousness. I'm anticipating a hilarious video to come.

OMG! ACOTAR!!! I can confidently say that from book 2, onward it is amazing. Also the first bit of book 2 is slow but boy oh boy does it get better!!!

Kirk : What do you think, Spock? Spock : I think that the idea of sci-fi romance is very strange for an individual like me who seeks permanent non-emotional states of mind. Kirk : No, I mean Emma smelling books like an old fine wine. I did that when I found my copy of Gibbons. Spock : In fact, Captain, you are not the only one to do that but the habit is mostly lost nowadays. Kirk : Why, Spock, why? Spock : Because it is not logical nor practical to smell an electronic tablet. But a book ? There is a range of informations you can get by smelling it. Kirk : Fascinating.

I read this a couple of years ago. On the whole, I liked it but in my opinion it was unnecessary long. I enjoyed maybe 2/3 of the book and couldn't wait for it to end. There is also a second book (different plot line) and I DON'T recommend it! :)

You should totally read the Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula le Guin. Great sci fi book about winter!

Im reading the encyclopedia of fairies right now and its sooo good :))
