I’ve been binge watching all of your videos and it’s surreal to see you celebrating 6 thousand subscribers when you’re currently at almost 300 thousand! I love your channel and it has brought a lot of calmness and joy to my days.

This comment may be out of context but I still want to thank you for your admiration for Rilke. It made me curious, I've read and fell in love with his books. I am transformed now!

tbh anything Rilke is never out of context that is so nice to hear!!

Your hair in that one clip gave me serious first movie hermione vibes and I loved it 😍. I love your vlogs so much 🥰

your vlogs never fail to relax and calm me. they're like a straight shot of serotonin. i've been hoarding your recent content and am now having a little watch party because you manage to help me forget that i've been feeling so empty 💕 i'm really excited for your judge a person by their shelf series, it sounds like so much fun; i just might have to send something in for you.

Some manga recommendations you might enjoy: Aria by Kozue Amano (very wholesome read, there is a very beautiful special edition released at the moment in English) Dorohedoro by Q Hayashida (a little gory but such an exciting read, never saw a manga like this before - kinda manages to combine a more western way of storytelling with manga and also hilarious moments with serious ones amazingly) Girls last tour by Tsukumizu (very calming but philosophical at the same time) Love your videos by the way! They really calm my anxiety. Thank you for making them. Lots of love from germany :)

I have no interest in defending Ninth House (did NOT enjoy), but I do see that point about the narrative voice rather differently. In fact, it makes complete sense to me. Why? Because our perspective does not necessarily overlap with that of the characters. I love this kind of stuff, so please allow me to try and make a case for it :) Yes, we learn about the flashback in third person (because that's the extradiegetic narrative voice of the story). And yes, Alex cannot repeat a sentence she heard here because her experience is more direct than that (she did not hear him say it, but rather experiences his thoughts and experiences due to the ... whole situation (don't want to spoil anything). BUT that is exactly what makes it correct to use the first person there. First, while the italics indicate a first person voice, they are nevertheless first person voices filtered additionally through the consciousness of Alex, not neutral like direct speech in quotation marks: She repeats what SHE remembers other people saying. In this case, she repeats what she was thinking when for a short moment she took on the consciousness and experience of the ghost (a situation only made possible by the supernatural elements of story), and that was a first person experience (bit like a false memory). Even though she gains perspective after the fact, she remembers having heard, thought or felt this sentence (representations of speech and thought can be exactly the same depending on the level of distance employed) in the first person at the time, and this is how she repeats it. The fact that the reader did not share this first person perspective during the flashback due to the narrative voice, does not prevent Alex from remembering in the first person.

i'm a new sub and have been binge watching your videos for the past few weeks aaa i love your energy and the passionate way you talk about books 🥰🥰🥰 a q&a would be awesome!!

the judge a person by their bookshelf idea is great! is it "international"? I'm Italian and a lot of my books are in Italian, I'm worried that it could be confusing.. but I could try and find the translated titles if it's helpful :)

J'aimerais tellement t'envoyer un livre depuis la France pour te remercier de ces moments de calme et de sérénité que tu m'offres ! Tes vlogs sont un souffle d'air frais, je suis toujours si impatiente de voir tes vidéos :) Ne t'arrêtes jamais, Emma, tu fais du bien à booktube. Bisous

Hi there! I’m a high school student in Japan 🇯🇵🗾 and I am very enthusiastic about studying English and reading English literature. 📚I am always enjoying your exquisite videos and I like them so so much! I used to read Japanese manga and I really recommend “Aoha ride” this comic is very youthful and cute love story and I do love it! And also I used to very into sailor moon anime when I was a child. Japanese culture is very popular and come into fashion not only Japanese but also people in all over the world! So please enjoy your Japanese manga(^^) and I’m sorry for your concussion problem... I also have a little health problem so I understand sometimes we are struggling so much than others. Please do not push yourself too hard,and just take care of yourself. Thank you very much for reading this comment if you read this, and I am looking forward to watch your next video!💕😉

subscribed to your channel a few months back and have been binge watching your vids on my days off. I’m so happy you felt the same way about ninth house! also, I love your channel ❤️❤️❤️

So excited about bookshelves :) some manga recommendations... Fullmetal Alchemist deals with some heavy themes and is brilliant. Love Com is good for a light fluffy read. Inuyasha is a classic but can be repetitive. Bleach has gorgeous artwork but is VERY long. Claymore is amazing. And I've just gotten into Witch Hat Atelier 😊😊😊

i deeply love murikami and other translated works from japan! I am so glad you loved after dark, it is one of my favorites beside kafka of the shore, your should check it out!

Omg I'm so early. I just start your notification button. Because I'm literally obsessed with your reading vlog.

Your dog is so cute!! I love the idea about our bookshelves, and a Q&A would be awesome

So happy you have a set date to go back to your uni apartment! I will miss your family and the absolute cottagecore vibes you've been serving though 💕

I may be late but I am still catching up on your videos! For manga I would definitely recommend “Horimiya” if you would like a cute, warm hearted, comedy/love story about high schoolers. For something a bit more serious try “A silent voice”. It has been made into a movie which is good but the manga is undeniably amazing! And for silly and downright ridiculous try “Nichijou”!!

you seem like such a good person to be around ❤ love your videos!!

Ohhh , i love spending my time watching you're old reading vlogs videos 😌🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 love u 😌

Thank you for your vlogs and your channel. Thank you for you, your vlogs always bring me peace 🤩

I have this weird longing to come see you. Sending lots of love ♥️

I finish all three books in BrokenEarth 6 days... It is so so good. One of my all time favorite series...

you deserve all the love 💕 so excited for the bookshelves series! I'm not feeling Ninth House either 😅 The Fifth Season is brilliant, I'm so happy you liked it! your dog is the cutest omg aaah a bonfire, how lovely! cinnamon rolls are my favourite things ever, why are you doing this to me 😂 I wasn't a fan of Evelyn Hugo - very intrigued to hear your thoughts! girl you'll HAVE to let me know when you read Sailor Moon please, thank you great video as always, love you 🥰

Hey emma! I am very happy that you liked Tokarczuk's novel. I want to let you know that I live in a town in Poland, where the action of this novel is taking place - the Kłodzko Valley, and more precisely the city of Kłodzko, where Tokarczuk wrote part of this book. If you want, I'll take photos of some places where Tokarczuk stayed at that time😁

i know this is an old video but i just saw at 47:43 the stuffed animal above you and i swear i have the same one. a webkinz cocker spaniel i think? it just surprised me

Two of my favourite current manga series are Tokyo Ghoul which I am loving so far and the second one if Children of The Whales which I am also loving and the artworks it beautiful 😍 Also thank you for letting me know of the The library of Korean literature editions they are beautiful and I am definitely going to to look into them ASAP. I am trying to expand my Asian translated fiction collection as well as my translated fiction in general. So if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them. Your Vlogs are favourite things ever to watch especially with a nice big cup of tea. I would love to be your friend and talk all things books 🥰🖤

Literally subscribed yesterday and I am hooked on your videos🥺

Des vlogs toujours aussi doux et apaisants ! C'est un bonheur à regarder, merci !

Just SO COOL🙀

I always love your vlogs, I find them very relaxing. I think you will probably like this manga called The Blue Exorcist, because in some ways it is similar to Tokio Ghoul. I didn´t read anything by Leah Bardugo, so I can´t criticize the autor´s writing, but I fully understand the complaints you made about the book and probably, knowing myself as a reader, I would have the same problems.

Emma, your videos bring so much happiness and peace to me

kinda want to do the bookshelf thing but i know that most of my book are in portuguese so...... will think how im going to do it im so sad that i will not be at the live show at the time because i started to work again ))): but i will definitely watched as soon as i get home love love love your vlog ugh

damn i still have trauma about ninth house, i enjoyed it enough while reading it, but after finishing it, the more i think about it, the more unpleasant it becomes

manga recommendation: OYASUMI PUNPUN

Tried ninth house ended up dnf. Mostly because I am also reading The Early History of Rome by Livy and was pulled to it more. I liked the Fifth Season. I wasn't in the greatest mindset for it and gave it 3 stars when I did read it last year. My 3 stars are usually read later and try again. I think Fifth Season will be better now because I'm loving reading right now. My 7yr old daughter LOVES Sailor Moon. She calls her Princess Meatball Head lol

I want to do the Judge My Bookshelf thing! Can I just upload a vid to youtube and dm you the link? Thanks for your candor about Ninth House. I gave up at about 250 pages in. Def a DNF for me, but still excited for the bookclub, and for next month's pick. I love Sailor Moon! I even have some of the original Mixx comics, the ones that misnamed Usagi Bunny. I've been a fan since I was a little girl in the 90s. (yes, I'm old) those cinnamon rolls look divine. I'll have to whip some up soon (and by whip them up I mean opening a can of pillsbury.)

I'm rereading Autobiography of red today in preparation for reading the "sequel" Red doc. I'm sure you'll love it!! 💞

I have a question about "judge a person by their bookshelf". I made some photos of my books and I wanted to send them to you via DM, but firstly I wanted to check if everything is ok so I sent them to my friend. I saw that Instagram made their quality much more worse. Can I send them to you some other way? I just really want to participate in this. (if anyone knows how to deal with this problem tell me please)

I love the idea of judge a book by its cover: would definitely send my video over. Hope it makes it in.

This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. 1. That montage at the beginning was EVERYTHING 2. Your voice is so nice, you should proffesional read audio books! 3. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, cause I mean it has a massive compliment, you really look like Dakota Johnson!

emmie i almost took ninth house out of your hands because you seemed so unhappy while reading it

Ninth house seems like a book that had lots of potential to explore different themes and have an array of diverse character perspectives, but failed due to the authors imagined world not translating well through her writing.(It’s honestly so disappointing 😪)

🐲 I’m getting into Korean literature too. I’m starting ‘Please Look After Mom’ by Shin Kyung-Sook in a few days and I’m very excited 🐲 I haven’t read the mangas yet, but these are my favorite anime adaptations of all time. 100% recommend you read the mangas. ‘Kilari’ (or ‘Kirarin Revolution’ - this show is my entire childhood), ‘Tokyo Mew Mew’ and ‘Ojamajo Doremi’ (these 2 are also my childhood), and ‘Kaichou Wa Maid Sama’ (If I start talking about this one I’ll never stop) 🐲 We loooooove long vlogs. May you have a good week💕💕
