The effort you put into Book of the Month is unmatched

I took a Shakespeare class during my undergrad, and even though he's still not my favorite, that class helped me appreciate his work more and I got to read more of his non-mainstream plays, which was exciting. Would love a week by week update l, might even read along!

BOOK MAN!!!!!! book man goes through so much and we are SO THANKFUL

Audible has this series called the Arkangel Shakespeare which are full cast unabridged audio recordings of his plays done by the Royal Shakespeare Company. It may help with the enjoyment of your class.

I’ve read more these past 6 months than I’ve read in many years thanks to you and Carolyn. I just started 100 Years of Solitude thanks to your recommendations. I tried it many years ago but probably only got a few pages in before giving up. This time I committed to focus and get a solid chunk in and give it a chance. I’m only 3 chapters in but by the end of the first chapter, I was hooked.

I really struggled with H is for Hawk, being a vegan who loves rodents and birds. 😳 Got a good paper out of it, though! The child in How I Became a Nun is biologically a boy but always refers to him/her/themself as a girl. A lot of people don't seem to think it's consistent, but it is. Any boy references come from other characters. I got a great paper out of that book on the symbolism of the colour pink in a story of a secretly transgender child.

I finished Brothers Karamazov (I started it a while ago) and now I'm reading the Stranger. (Low-key coincidentally, they were both on my TBR and just fit with GOT book club). I'm half way through Frankenstein as a part of my uni course! And I'm listening to the audiobook for Neon Gods. Also it's worth noting that the Stranger is also called The Outsider as well in certain translations. I also plan on reading Franny and Zooey and Master and Margarita next.

My anxiety has been off the roof lately and your videos are seriously what’s keeping me sane, not to forget also reading Brothers Karamazov. Thank you Emmie.

I am reading Two Towers from Lord of the Rings and it is amazing. All place description, development of characters and of course wars and events are amazing. Such a complete universe. I would like to one of the lotr character

The Brothers Karamazov is one of my all time fav classics! Enjoy!

I will be finishing my school exams in early June so i will not able to read anything for this month but during the summer i am going to read Cruyff's autobiography,Catch-22,Papillon both books,Don Quixote and a greek book about some football stories at least i hope so.

I've been averaging 2-3 books a month but hopefully this video is going to be the thing that gives me the motivation to tackle my 8 book may tbr! :,) Also Richard the 3rd was my favourite Shakespeare play I read in school really excited to see if you will like it!

Finally reading LotR and I've just started Return of the King. This series is like 70% nature poetry 🌳 Might join your book club after!

For my Shakespeare college class, I remember getting audio versions then following along with the text (play). It was so much more enjoyable that way! I agree - plays weren't written to be read. I got my audio from the library which had different actors, background sounds and music. It turned out to be a really good class. 🙂

Shakespeare is soooo fun when you dig in. I hope you love it💜

This is the perfect pause to writing my essay, it keeps me motivated and entertained at the same time ✨✨✨

The second I see a book of the month sponsorship, I know it's gunna slap 😤

I am LIVING for these skits you're doing, Emma! 😂

I have almost all of Shakespeare's plays in these larger Folger (Updated Editions). One of the Barnes & Nobles bookstore near me closed to relocate in a different shopping center and it had a sale every book 50% OFF plus an additional 10% OFF from the membership. I got each one of these Folger editions for a total of $4.95 each book with tax included in that price (normally they are $9.99 each and tax has to be added separately, so makes them well over $10.00 each), so I got almost every one they had on the shelf. I already read 4 of them, and I'm starting a 5th play this weekend. I love them.

I live for the book of the month skits. They are amazing and must take you so much time. Every single month I click and look but I haven't signed up simply bc I don't have much of a budget (they do have great prices though) so I try to use kindle unlimited as much as possible! I do love that it looks easy to pause though!

I’d be super interested in a video about like a regular day in your life and how much time you spend reading!! The amount you read is enviable. Love your content always 🫶

you've inspired me and continue to do so every day, i love how comforting your videos are and i'm so happy i started reading more diversely and more classics because of you, thank you. have a lovely may emma 🤍

I loved H is for Hawk. This month I’m going to read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. So excited she won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction! Emma, you have a lot on your plate this month!

Keep these videos of TBR coming.( Or any thing i just love watching you) 💞

Yes, I love your TBR videos! Especially ones where you browse your bookshelf with us.

i wasn’t excited for my shakespeare course at uni, but once i started i was absolutely hooked! i hope you can find ways to enjoy the course emma, not all of his plays are amazing but there are good bits in all of them!! :)

Congratulations, and good luck on the bar. On my 2d day someone I met at the motel offered me a ride to the testing center, so I was in a bit of a rush and I left my glasses in my room! I looked like such a poor tard holding the booklet up to my nose and squinting at it. Anyway, I passed, but only just barely.

I have an awful flu and Im in bed. A new video by queen Emma is all I needed to feel better.

Brothers is on my top 10 of all time. SO many things about it just stuck and I think about it regularly decades after I first encountered these three.

i’m in love with book of the month guy

I recommend “It’s Kind of a Funny Story”, especially since you loved The Catcher in the Rye

no because the book man😀 i love him so much these sponsors are so entertaining pls- your videos never fail to make my day, love u sm emma💙

I am so glad that you are reading The brothers Karamazov, the book is amazing, i am sure that you will love it 😁😁

Hi emmie happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and your book vlogs is sooo good

truly didn't expect this video to start with an action sequence but i loved it 😅 great video as always 💕

I took a Shakespeare class in college and loved it despite not really knowing or caring much about him before taking the class. My prof made us read and watch the plays. I highly recommend that approach. The plays were meant to be performed. Anyway, I am a new subscriber and this is the 1st video I've watched. Enjoyed it! Thx for sharing.

your book of the month ads are so funny i can’t

Something that saved me when studying shakespeare was the free audiobooks you can get on KZread - there’s a small cast of actors to play the roles, and I would listen to them at the same time as reading … just made it feel so much more alive 😊

Hotel World by Ali Smith---I just started watching you and you said in a video like a year ago that you love books set in hotels and I haven't heard you mention Ali Smith at all who's one of my favorite all time writers! She's a modern day Scottish author writing much in the tradition of the Modernists, but with a relatable sense of hope that none of them could muster. Hotel World is told in 5 parts, each by a different female narrator who are all somehow connected to this hotel. Each section is titled and written in a different verb tense.. very experimental, and it works so well.

I llllllove this adds, so creative and fun that you wanna see them till the end, the exact thing adds might be 😂

I would love to see a wholesome book recommendations! I feel like every single book I’ve read this year made me sad.

Oh my gosh, the timing for Brothers Karamazov is absolutely perfect! I started it a while ago but lost the will to finish this mammoth (even though I loved it) ... This is just the motivation I needed to pull me through, can't wait for the live show!

i’m so excited for you to start the brothers karamazov!!! i’ve had my copy for years but didn’t pick it up until this year

I love the book of the month’s addddd 😂❤

Hi Emma and everyone in the comment section! This month I'm reading The Eternaut and House of the Spirits! Pretty excited about both. I'm also listening to the Anxious People audiobook and I have to say it's phenomenal so far, very funny. Happy reading!

I'm pretty sure "goshawk" is literally pronounced gos-hawk! It started as goose hawk and then I guess got shortened. Also it's kinda fascinating to me that it feels intense to read a Shakespeare text a week - at my uni in the UK it was pretty standard for undergrad and postgrad to read a text a week plus extra reading per module for 11 weeks - everybody was basically dead by the time we got to exams lmao. It's really interesting to see how different people's courses are structured

So excited for your Brothers Karamazov vlogs! I have been reading it since March, so I’m almost done, and there’s so much packed into a simple framework/story !! Im also reading all of Shakespeare this year, which is about one play a week, so I’m eager to hear what you think! I loved Richard II and Richard III out of the plays I’ve read so far (reading in order of when Shakespeare wrote them). watch the hollow crown as you read, they are wonderful in my opinion!

Emma has the absolute best ad reads of all time without a doubt

Your acting is killing me I love it 😂💗

omg so many books to read this month ~ I hope they're good reads nonetheless! I am joining a game of tomes for the first time, I'm already reading The Brothers Karamazov and very surprised at how easy of a read it's been. I've also been reading Sherlock Holmes, Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors and Temporary by Hilary Leichter :) I love watching your videos, they make me motivated to keep reading

Thanks for cheering me up. Love your new glasses. I’m reading A Farewell to Arms and The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh.

Am excited to see your thoughts on the stardust thief because I loved it sm!

I agree with everyone - love the Book of the Month skits! I really enjoyed the Stardust Thief. So much going on in it. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I just read Strange the Dreamer. I enjoyed most of it despite a bit in it I didn't care for. I still want to know what's going to happen & yesterday started the Muse of Nightmares. I'm also reading Written in Red in between and The Hurting Kind (poetry) by Ada Limon. In between everything I am slowly reading the Dragonbone Chair. Thanks for your videos! 📚

Reading for May: Hardy's "Return of the Native." I just finished "Tess" and "Far from the Madding Crowd" and loved them.

would you be able to make a video describing ur reading schedule and how u read so many books at the same time for different purposes!!

I have The Brothers Karamazov to read. oh good idea to split it over May and June.. I am way behind, haven't even started yet, been finishing another book first. Can't wait to read The Stranger too!

I started reading my gently raised beast on WEBTOON and it’s adorable!!! Their friendship is so sweet and wholesome.

I seem to be on a poetry kick. I read a book of war poems, then The Waste Land and Other Poems by T.S Eliot, then selected poems of Emily Dickinson and now I am (finally!) getting round to reading a couple of Rainer Marie Rilke’s books of poetry. Although, I now want to read The Brothers Karamazov! I read The Stranger/The Outsider last year, so this might be my chance to get a big Russian book under my belt. 🤔

It's insane to me how your book of the month intros became something I look forward to seeing this much. Next time I'll be expecting a whole ass James Bond opening with stunts and what not 😂

Book man is an amazing character.

Omg "How I Became a Nun" takes place in my city, that's so fun. Can't wait to hear your review It's strange how i consider Emma a friend and she's reading something from my city in Argentina? Btw I DNFed If on a winter's night a traveler. I want to see what you think about it, cause idk if i should give it a second chance or not...

I LOVE YOU, EMMA ♥

gosh, a play/week is an insane rhythm... it gabe me war flashbacks of uni. good luck

Since being a new mom, my reading goals for a month usually mean one or two books a month; for May I am reading Satantango by László Krasznahorkai. If I manage to read that before the end of the month, I'll probably read another book that I'll randomly choose at the library.

Just started Great Expectations, hoping to read a couple more Dickens afterwards, some Lewis Carroll, Giovanni's Room, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, AND Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries. I'll never get through them all in May but a girl can dream.

I am currently reading The Brothers Karamazov and The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter. I'm taking a summer class in a month on the Late Roman Republic, so I'm reading a bunch of Roman classics in preparation/anticipation (I AM SO EXCITED!!!)

I'm reading Fathers and Sons by Turgenev, The Whispering Skull (Lockwood and Co.) And Borges Profesor (basically a book that compiles a bunch of recorded English Lit. Lectures given by Borges at the UBA.

I'm trying to tackle books from my older physical tbr that have been on my shelves for years by doing themes each month and picking 4 themed books a month to read in addition to my newer books. This month is murder mysteries. Just finished The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie and currently reading The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. I've owned copies of both for about 10 years now and never picked them up, but it feels good to finally read them!

I am reading the collection of stories by stefan zweig (I am loving it even though I am not a huge short stories fan), and the body keeps the score. P.S.: The outrooooo!! 😄

I didn’t expect you to had read Aira! I thought he was mostly praised in Argentina. And yes, he has a very peculiar way of narrating and of constructing stories in general. “You like it or not like it” we use to say when talking about him. I hope you get to read more Argentinian literature

I started a Storm of Swords, ASOIAF 3, aaaaah. And I will soon start Six of Crows duology, exited about that. That's it for now ^^
