We have some of the same favorites! Harry Potter and what you said about the statements made by Rowling did not tarnish your love of the book is everything and i 1000% agree! The Diviners, Nevermoor! Such great books!

The last time I was this early was 2016

I feel the same about all of Cassie's books. nothing will ever replace the shadowhunters chronicles for me. But my number one out of them will always be the infernal devices. And I haven't read the toll either. i will though soon. This trilogy is one of my all time favorites.

Emma- thank you for being genuine, honest and kind when bringing up Potter. As someone who found potter late in life, but while dealing with extensive heartbreak, Potter became a safe place of joy and emotion. I feel like I genuinely missed out on all things Potter as a kid and it was such a godsend to my adult life. It brought hope that things would get better. To come into the community late with things in such a devastating uproar has been so rough on me. Everyone Thanos snapping potter out of their lives as I just found a home in it has been hard. I feel like I found something new to love and the world expects me to be silent about it all. Avidly watching booktube and then seeing all my favorite ppl refuse to give the series any time has been hard on me. I don't think readers should ever feel guilty for loving something that gives them a home. Thank you for keeping it real and letting me engage with you on something that the past three years has kept me going. I know I can't be the only one feeling like this. I wish more booktubers could articulate the pain of author vs series like you just did.

Honestly I think the best way to engage with Harry Potter now is to only buy Rollings books second hand, buy fan-made merch like on Red Bubble or Etsy instead of official merch, and participate in the fandom community- subreddits, fan art, fan fiction. That way you can enjoy something you love but not support the author and not give her a dime of your coin!

Is anyone else excited for Emma to do a review of chain of iron? I can’t believe we have to wait a whole year for COT to know what happens 😩

ALL OF 'EM.

Def favorite thrillers and favorite contemporaries. Always get so many good recommendations from those types of videos!

Haven't watched this channel for a good while, but glad that you're still going. I love the positive vibe you're always putting out ^_^

I grew up with Harry Potter too I'm their exact age and watched the movies and read the books as they came out since I was 11. It's unfortunate bc I will no longer use my money on any of her products any longer but I will always keep and cherish my copies I have. It is really upsetting bc I loved jk rowling as a person as well....

If you subscribe to HBO Max and click on Harry Potter content when it is added, you are using your money to support it. The new series or whatever that's coming in a couple of years. And based on how popular the Snyder cut is, I'm going to guess that when that time comes, you'll cave. Of course, I expect it'll be the wrong type of Potter show for me personally, but tons of people will dive into it. And hey, it's not like a ton of book series are getting made into movies/TV shows. YET. Shadow and Bone in April, sure, but that's justt he beginning. Still my point rests, Netflix and Disneyu+ haven't really started tot aap into bringing the magic of series to life but they will soon enough. Although Netflix for some reason has a show called City of Ghosts which is unrelated and for the same demographic as a book callec City of Ghosts, from one of the most popular current authors, confusion like this isn't fun. Folk in the Air was bough to be adpated but dunno if it will, afterall Gone by Michael Grant was bought as a TV show in 2013 and in 2021 it hasn't surfaced.

I have still yet to buy a single diamond to put anywhere on my body, and I haven't touched Nike in well over 15yrs. When you get to a certain age trust me you don't cave on something as simple as watching a new show or movie so I'm good on that.

We are about the same age, but I Just started the Mortal Instruments series this past weekend for the first time! I actually made the decision to go get the first two books after watching your video on how to read the series. Love your channel and can’t wait to binge watch your old videos! I finished the City of Bones like an hour ago and LOVED IT! Finished in 24 hours! Hehe thanks for all your recommendations!

I just got Chain of Iron finally in the mail yesterday, can't wait to sit down and start reading! The Shadowhunters Chronicles have certainly become an absolute favorite since starting it. My other favorites are The Beautiful Disaster series by Jamie McGuire and The Nightworld series by LJ Smith though it still remains incomplete after all this time.

I’d love an updated favourite standalone video!! It’s so interesting to see how your reading tastes have changed over the years :)

I love Emma’s videos. The second I see she posts I watch.

I absolutely loved Scythe and ThunderHead, they were both written amazingly! I loved the world the most, then the characters! I agree, the romance was lacking and I didn't feel any connection really. I thought TH was actually even better than the first book surprisingly! The last book was just alright in my opinion. I thought the build up was done really well, however I thought It dragged a little in the middle. Also, spoiler kind of, it was very anti-climactic in my opinion. It was building to the finale scene since the very beginning (its a big book) and the final scene lasted literally 2 pages. Like come on lol! But, I still absolutely love the series regardless and haven't let the final book tainted it for me.

Ohh I just got Truly Devious! Now I'm even more excited for it! :)

I've read so many book series I can't choose my love of reading started with the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys Mystery series

Emma it’s so great to see you and to see a new video on my feed!! Hope things are going well !! 😊 Really want to read opal and nev - it has such an interesting premise and I love the 70s setting! All of Marissa Meyers’ books (series) make up my all time favourites 😂 especially the lunar chronicles! I also enjoyed the legend trilogy, the Anna and the French kiss books. I want to branch out and read more series though, I realize now that I read a lot of standalones but haven’t read many series!

Now I have a lot of new recommendations 😃 need to continue with the shadow and games and scythe series. Can't wait to finally read chain of iron 😃❤️

I was very grateful to what you said about Harry Potter, the series. I have been struggling so much as well because, yeah, what the author has said did affect the way I feel about it, but it still meant and means so much to me. I feel the fandom is what really makes it special in my eyes. We kind of made it our own

YES PLEASE to more "favourite of all time" videos ❤️

In terms of the Shadowhunter Chronicles, I was off work for a month and committed to rereading the entire thing (bar TDA as I'd literally just reread them) and I read them in chronological order, including splitting the short stories and inserting them in between. Honest to god reading them that way was amazing and you found out things as you were meant to and just wow it worked so well. It felt like you were following Magnus and these people that he knew throughout his life because he features in all of them and honestly as someone who adores Magnus, this just became the only way I want to read them.

I find it funny that when you mentioned the Shadowhunter Chronicles, you just didn't even mention The Eldest Curses. Lol.

More lists! Yes, great video thanks for being so positive!

OOH, so my favorite series: diviners, six of crows duology, beartwon series, and I am LOVing the last hours ! Currently reading lady midnight for the first time! :)

Hola Miss Emma and everyone have a blessed and wonderful Easter ♥️

Yes I have been needing series recs!

Excited!

The way you are with the toll is how I am with queen of air and darkness. I haven’t read it yet and I always wanna hide when I see ppl who have because I know it’s good and all, but I’ve never felt ready to pick it up. One day I’ll be wrecked by it, but that day isn’t today.

So good so far!! I love the Shadowhunter world so much! I also like that you chose to be authentic and keep Harry Potter because Harry Potter also shaped me as a reader! It was done of the first books I read.

Scythe

Currently listening to the diviner’s audiobook, highly recommend so so good!

I am currently reading Wundersmith (the second book to Nevermoor) and I am adoring the series.

I love that you bought up the point about how we feel like we can't talk about HP ever again at all or we'll be cancelled immediately yet it's not authentic to yourself to deny your deep love for it and who it made you to be . You handled this situation so well and mature and with great balance and clarity, I'm honestly so impressed and proud

One of my favourite series (which I think you’ll enjoy because it’s middle grade fantasy) is Angie Sage’s Septimus Heap series. I enjoy them despite being a decade older than the target audience! I’ve lost the ability to read books, I only listen to audio now. So imma use this video as a list of audiobooks to try out! Truly devious - I’m waiting for book 4! So excited! (Audio releases only in June, apparently, so I gotta wait!) Ace of shades - sounds like something I’ll enjoy, adding it to my tbr. Hopefully the audiobooks are good! Serpent & dove - the first book was a fave of mine, but the sequel didn’t appeal to me. :( not sure if I’ll read book 3. Nevermoor - you’ve spoken about this so many times on your channel! I remember you comparing it to Harry Potter. Glad to know the audiobooks are great! Can’t wait to listen to it! :) Scythe - I’ve been meaning to read this for soooo long, thanks for the reminder ;) The Diviners - I’ve read a different Libby Bray book and I loved it, hopefully I’ll enjoy this one too! Racism and immigration issues are covered, you say? Can’t wait to try it out! Renegades - I’m actually listening to Heartless right now! I enjoyed the Lunar chronicles, and I can’t wait to try this out! Harry Potter - I think most fans will agree with you. Liking the series is such an internal conflict for me. Many of my trans friends found solace and support in the fandom way before JKR opened her mouth and spewed hate! As a bi person, I found a lot of support in the fandom too. Coming out was easier because I had constant support from my online friends. And even when I faced bi-erasure from a lesbian Potterhead, my other fandom friends rallied around me and helped me out. So while the series and the fandom hold a special place in my heart, JKR does not. And repudiating the meaning the series holds for me would be denying a part of my identity, and the journey it took me to be who I am today. Shadow Hunter chronicles - I haven’t read TID and TDA yet. I stopped with the original series years back because it felt like a good place to stop. I recently returned to the universe thanks to the Malec series (its name escapes me at the moment), but my friend keeps recommending TDA to me, convinced I’ll love it! ^i hope you enjoyed my waffling as much as I enjoyed your video! :)

The renegades series is one of my favorites too. I don't like the lunar chronicles but renegades is sooo much better. Thank you for your statements on harry potter and jk rowling , I feel the exact same way and i haven't found a bootube person that feels the same, most just have got rid of there books and no more talking so this was really nice to see.
