Oh my god good luck!!! You’re gonna love it!!

I'm not sure how much I could read in 24 hours because I never get 24 hours without a hundred things to do, lol. Sounds like such a great way to spend the day. Always love the videos, Emma--just started "Nervous Conditions" for Book Club and find it very intriguing. Have a great week!

The idea of reading for 24 hours straight sounds so much fun, but I also don’t have a day without anything else to do. :,) I usually try to split the readathon into manageable time portions!

You should try do it for 24 hours in a week. Record each time you read until you get there then you’ll have a good idea of how much you can read in that time.

I was just going to say - there's a version of this readathon where you only time yourself while reading until you reach 24 hours - so it could even take you a week if needed. I've never tried it (or any readathons), but if I did, I'd definitely choose this one 😅

Grendel was so cute when you were doing the yoga. I have a tabby cat and she is very affectionate and into everything! I have her sister, a white cat, who is so quiet and serene. Cats definitely do their own thing! 😻

Loved this so much. ❤ Fun fact: In economics, there's a concept of Veblen goods named after Thorstein Veblen! Veblen goods are items for which demand inceeases even as the price increases, in contradiction to the normal demand-supply theory. They're also typically high-quality goods that are a status symbol. Veblen goods are generally sought after by affluent consumers. Examples include luxury cars, luxury watch brands, even some sneakers etc!

I started following your channel a couple of months ago and really love your content. I love how diverse your reading choices are as well as the variety of genres. I love the obvious and abundant joy you find in books which is evident in your content and something I relate a lot with. I love the calming and soothing vibes of your videos as well. Your voice is so soothing and relaxing that it adds to the cosy ambiance. Have a lovely day!

I haven't read a lot from Junji Ito, but Uzumaki is such a good book. Creepy, intriguing and easy to go through. I highly recommend it, and I'm going to get a copy of Cat Diary. Your videos are so wholesome, thank you.

The cat yoga was ADORABLE.

Grendel is too cute. I’m glad you’re sticking with the name, it seems to fit him well. I still haven’t done a 24 hour readathon, it looks so fun 😊

Love the long videos! I should do a little readathon soon myself :)

The constant questioning of what you are in the mood for is exactly how I've been feeling for the past month. I want to read so much, but with uni imposing reading material again I have just been starting a million books and evetually just putting them all down... I just wanted to say it is great seeing how much happier you look ever since you got Grendel! As always, love having your videos keeping me company🥰

This is genuinely my favorite channel on youtube. Thanks Emma for introducing and inspiring me to read so many different genres of books ❤

Hi, Emma, What a perfect way to spend a day with Calcifer and Grendl! I love the idea of a monthly readathon, though I love all of your vlogs and videos, I especially enjoy the ones where you review several books. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful cats with us and please take good care of yourself. Be well. 💕💕

This is exactly what I needed. I've been so stressed because of my finals and tomorrow I am going to be writing my first paper. (Nervous) but your video is definitely going to help me feel better. Thank you so much.❣️

Hi Emma, ​​love your videos as always! I am wondering if you will make an updated version of your physical TBR list. It would be cool to see your progress.❤️

I love that hairstyle you had on at the beginning! It's beautiful on you!!❤❤

emma! i know how much you love cats. you will definitely enjoy the witches of olderea series. the second book has more cats, a tabby cat, a black cat, and a witch who could speak to them. its super lovely

OMG, so excited about binge watching this channel after binge reading A LOT after a LOT of college exams 😍 (love the cats )

Ce serait génial que tu fasses une vidéo "my good dates as Book recs" ! Tes vidéos me font toujours sourire et m'inspirent, merci pour ça ! ❤️

Great vlog. Happy Spring!🌈🌷🍄☕📚🫖

Your video's are so comforting 💚

i love the 24hrs readathon too!!! getting them once a month sounds too good to be true 😩😩😩

Brilliant, I'm in a bit of a slump at the moment so I could definitely use the motivation 😅

I’ve been meaning to read conspicuously consumption so I was glad to see it in this vlog!

Hey Emma, thanks for the video! I really want to do a readathon myself, I just got a big book haul over the holidays. Have you ever done a "date with a book"? (you buy a pre packaged book with very little information of what's inside) it might be cool to do one and try to sit down and read it within a day 🤔

Grendel biting Cat Diary of all books was so perfect. LOL.

Love this series so much! Your range of reading genres inspires me to expand mine! I haven't read the Inheritance Games, but if you're looking for a series with a wonderful mystery, I highly recommend The Blackthorn Key series by Kevin Sands!! It's middle grade, but every single book is full of complicated puzzles and riddles and clues that are constantly entertaining and intelligent. All three main characters are wonderful and very developed, and the plot twists are crazy! It's about an apothecary's apprentice and it's set in the 1600s in England. My mom read every single one aloud to me and my brother over the past few years :) Adore your videos, they bring me so much calm when my life is stressful

Sometimes, you just need a light, entertaining read. And if that means you start another series, then you start another series. No judgement. Sometimes, that's what you need! :)

Your video always so relaxing

i love that your videos are long🤌🏻🤌🏻✨✨✨

Just started reading Middlemarch to keep up with the Game of Tomes schedule. The Count of Monte Cristo was a 5⭐ for suuuuure ❤

Calcifer and Grendel remain the cutest (with the exception of my cat, of course).

It’s the Canada Reads competition next week!! My favourite event 🤓 do you follow it? I’ve only read one of the books this year, I usually read them all before the debates so I don’t know who will win! Love the cats, reading with my fluffy tuxedo right now 🐈‍⬛

Junji Ito is incredibly enjoyable to read. Like yourself, Frankenstein is one of, if not my favorite, book of all time and you need to check out Ito’s Frankenstein

Happy Grammar Day Emmie! To all Lit Majors, its your're day! Your cats are great. I'm keeping Ito's Cat Diary book in mind as a good cat lover gift.

Good morning Emmie happy Monday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

The yoga! My heart! Oh my gosh, I would spend the entire yoga session laughing if that happened to me. So cute!

I havent read cat diary yet but junji ito is so great, you should definitely read uzumaki next for something longer.

I was recommended "The Count of Monte Cristo" by a friend, got it as a Christmas gift a few years back, and it was one of those books that fundamentally changed the way I thought.

Seeing your two cats playing while reading a cat manga was just too perfect 👌🏻

Grendel Yoga was so stinkin adorable!

I’m not sure how or why i wasnt getting notifications. But I have a wonderful amount of binging to do 😅

Hi Emma! Such a fun video, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Actually for Agent of the Four Seasons, the novel is the only media the story is currently in👍🏼 if there is a manga it just has a similar name, but it's not the same author or story

Thanks for sharing this info since she got wrong information from somewhere to clear up confusion.

Oh my Grendal is a total cuddle bug I just love him 😊

This is the second day in a row that I've gotten a readathon video from someone... Was there a list of readathon going on that I just missed lmao 😂😂😂

I really liked "A Thousand Steps Into Night" it's very fast and fun! "A Living Soul" looks cool, my next Swedish book is "The Lost Village" by Camilla Sten. My fav Iclandic author is Yrsa Sigurdardottir, she is infreakingcreadible.

Yea, I'll probably still give Seasons a go. Also, some of your issues may be translation problems because sadly professional translation companies do mess things up sometimes.

Hey Emma I really enjoyed the video but could you please tell me where you got the grey zip up sweater I’ve been looking for one just like that!

Is here a better feeling than browsing your own shelves and seeing what jumps out at you? ❤ Two shorter works I'd recommend to you. Like Death by Guy de Maupassant, a student of Flaubert, and very much in the vein of Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina. Also, All the Horses of Iceland by Sarah Tolmie.

I'm not sure if one piece is for you because of the amount of worldbuilding and just information in general but I think you would love at least the first 400 chapters so much! Its so sweet and you will laugh SO MUCH. I swear, there hasnt been a book ive ever laughed or/and cried as much as this one. If you reach saga in chapter 400 you will cry for 3 days straight, be abscessed with it and just love it with all your heart so... I think you would like it

One of Junji Ito's other works is a manga adaptation of Frankenstein

Saw The Bell Jar in your shelf. I'm curious do you also read poetry books? Like for fun?

i love Junji 😭

Emma was so beautiful (like she's always, of course) but sooo beautiful in this video!!

A Junji Ito 24hr readathon will mess with your mind, I’d love to see you check out more of his stuff!!

I’m so glad you have two sweet baby heathen children now because it means double the cat content 🫶

Yes, I think I know what you mean when you describe yourself as being strangely interested in reading Veblen. Maybe a lot of us in BookTube feel guilty about having too little non-fiction in our diets? And also I agree about there being plenty of time eventually to get (back) to Nietzsche, who I think was just a nut - but that's my problem, right? Anyway, it's very nice to see you again and I'm looking forward to the GoT show on the Count.

Uzumake by Junji Ito was my first of his works- and I loved it!!

I definitely recommend Uzumaki by Junji Ito, it made me sooo dizzy (in the best way).

Hey Emma! I love those blue classics, they're so pretty. Can I please know where you got them from? I saw "The ice palace" from that set and I want to read it so might as well get the all books if it's a set right?😂 (If anybody else knows the name of it and where I can get it, please feel free to tell me :) )

they’re penguin modern classics! At least in my country you can get them/order them at every bookstore, they’re quite popular. They’re not really a set, just a specific edition of books. So you can definitely buy multiple and they’ll match, but they’re not really connected by author or genre, other than being considered modern classics. I’m pretty sure there’s at least over a hundred though!

@@Divya-dm6cuyou can buy them individually. I’m not sure where you live, but I live in the US and I (if I want to buy them new) usually have to get them from international booksellers. I recommend Blackwells as a UK bookseller. They have reasonable prices and free shipping to the US (and maybe other countries as well). There’s also Waterstones, but their international shipping is killer.

Did you read the end writing in yon and mu? It's like a update after the manga and it's really sad.

Hey Emma, have you read Love In The Time of the Cholera by Garcia Marquez? Love your channel and Calcifer!!!! ❤

Cat diary is nothing like the rest of Junji Itos stuff - if anyone is scared of his usual, it's a fun way to experience the art.

That small bit of a Conspicuous Consumption that you read made me yawn like ten times 😀

Junji Ito: Artwork. You might like "Twisted Visions". Reading? "No Longer Human".

I wanted to try a 24 hour readathon but i cant sit straight doing something all this time , i have to do a million things all the time lol

I can't sit with a book for an hour straight without doing short breaks or getting distracted. 24h marathon would be a torture for me.

I predict that you will read at least six books in 24 hours before you start so let’s see how you go ❤❤❤

the four seasons book is giving me guardian by priest, it is so choppy and confusing to me and i didn’t like it. there are also references that i didn’t feel were explained enough because it is translated from another language. it made me sad to not like it🥺

Will you cut your bangs again?

yeah dont eat or sell centipede meat

Yep, as soon as i heard "its a satire..." I immediately know that it's going to be boring.😂😂 But the topics itself is really interesting though

Read quran translation, there u get to know moral stories, accurate history and modern science facts, poetic richness, expressive power and eloquence. The greatest and perfect book to be read in our life.

Re Junji Ito: I think Yon and Mu is really the only funny-horror combination by Junji Ito. The other ones I read from him are just straight up horror. I can recommend Shiver. ü

I’ve seen videos where people read for 24 hours, not necessarily straight 24 hours, but they pause their timer when they need to do something else and they just continue the timer when they are reading. While i’m curious howmany books i can read in that 24 hours, i’m now also curious how many days can i complete it that 24 hours. i bet a week isnt enough 🥲
