Emily Reads
Добавлен 31 май 2021
Welcome to my reading blog! I read mainly fantasy, science, fiction, YA dystopian, fantasy, sci-if. I also like cozy murders, sweet romances, and Jane Austen. In 2022, My goal is to complete the Harry Potter Flourish and Blotts O.W.L. Reading challenge, and if I can, the Popsugar reading challenge. In addition to reading, I teach, enjoy all things Baby Yoda, The Child, Grogu, and enjoy singing!

Forgotten garden was my favorite Kate Morton! Although I only read 2
@@Readingindarknesss I've heard so many.good things about it.
That quite a list - good luck with the challenge. Also true, you read The Count of Monte Cristo so War and Peace should not be an issue or any of the other chunky ones.
@cajunpeachreads I'm not worried about the other chunky ones. I AM worried about.War and Peace since it's a time period and locale I'm not too familiar with. Plus the cast of characters is 500+ and Russians have their given name, their titled name, and their nicknames.
Good luck with your challenge! Good luck with The Stand, you have the extended version and it so bored me lol. I was going to do something like this but then I didn't and now its to later as I have less than a year to read things lol.
@@StormReads I have 3 years. But I have so many chunky books! The Stand I got super cheap at a library book sale. We shall see...
The large print version of the cat who book you need does have a cat on the cover
All the best in your reading this month! I’m currently rereading The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne, in anticipation of The Fury of the Gods being released later this month.
@@landon_woods-of-yore I need to read that- but I have to say it's low on my TBR since I didn't get along with Faithful and the Fallen. How are you finding it?
I'm doing a bunch of scifi this October because I've been very fantasy-focused this year
Octavia's not for everyone. She can get real weird. Fledgling is my least favorite unfortunately.
@iheartwalle I'm going in with that expectation that I'm nit going to enjoy it. But it's for a reading challenge. I want to love her. And I loved Kindred.
If you like audiobooks you should get Dracula version with Tim Curry. 😃 Hope your October reading goes great.
@@StormReads I'm not an audio fan if I haven't read the book. I can't focus enough to be able to follow along. Maybe next year...
Dracula is such a fun read. Very melodramatic and a little mystery with adventure.
@@katiemcneece9291 I'm looking forward to it!
Garlic and the Vampire is very cute and really quick. I think it's very sweet to read some Sherlock in October to honor your father. You have given yourself a lot to choose from so hope you enjoy whichever ones you read. I'm doing Hallowtween and the Calendar Readathon in October. Thank you for your kind words ❤
@cajunpeachreads thank YOU for the book and bookmark! What is the Calendar readathon?
Happy birthday! I loved A Song to Drown Rivers. It is barely fantasy but i thought it was beautiful.
@@iheartwalle that is good to hear!
Happy birthday 🎉 looks like some great books
@@Oatmaster thanks!
Happy belated birthday, Emily! I'm going to be filming my tomorrow! I really want to read The Maid. I've been hearing so much about it. Under the Banner of Heaven is intense and well-done.
@Michelelynnreads I gasped outlook when I read The Maid because I wasn't expecting something. I'm looking forward to Under the Banner of Heaven- I'll probably have to read it over winter or summer break
👏🏻 Awesome birthday haul! 📚 I'll be curious to see what you start with! 🤓
@Lu.G. Garlic and the Vampire is on deck for October.
Hey! I see you figured out how to fix yoir videos so that the covers are not backward! 😃 Yay! Wow, a used book store already has Blackbird Oracle lol. I will be curious what you think of it. Great haul! 😃
@StormReads yes! Thanks for tip! And for the shout out in your video! And I'm planning all kinds of Vamire books for October
Happy birthday Emily,subscribed to your channel after watching storms video,happy reading 😊
@@terriersforever23 thanks for subscribing! And thanks for the birthday wishes!
📚📚📚📚
what the river knows sounds so intriguing! I love the premise...love archeology!!
@theBeachbumbookworm I really enjoyed it. And my first college search in HS was archeology schools. It was my dream to study it at the University of Chicago
I love the cover of not in love!
@theBeachbumbookworm the cover is great. The book was not.
Hey Emily! cute earrings!
@theBeachbumbookworm thanks. I found them on Amazon- my brother lifted them to me for Xmas off my wish list
📚I love your earrings! I agree the cover should match the tone of the book - otherwise it's just misleading. Sadly I think that may be purposeful by some publishers. I'm not sure why there are still some disabilities/things people cannot control or change that seem to still be ok to make fun of or mock. My favorite read in August was Bout to Dye in Birmingham (Cousins Cozy Mysteries #1). I liked it so much more than I expected to.
@cajunpeachreads as a special education teacher, it's frustrating. And the bar for ADA compliance is so low. The earrings I found on Amazon and one of my brothers lifted them to me for Xmas.
I really enjoyed Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
@jimsbooksreadingandstuff I am.so glad! I was worried because I usually don't like books that are so popular. But I really did like it!
Great wrap up! To bad that Ali Hazelwood book wasn't great. I haven't read that author but know she is a popular one.
@@StormReads I've read everything by her and love her. This one just didn't work for me.
Love your pile of possibilities!! Have a wonderful reading month and Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@soniawithani7586 thanks! And I rolled a 5- which works as my main character is male
@@emilyreads5207 awesome Go Fred!! 💜💚💜💚
The Tainted Cup is wonderful! I loved it.
@@iheartwalle I'm 50 pages in.
😮 They spoiled the book! Why do people do that! Hope you enjoy your picks!
🔪🔍 I always love seeing your list of possibilities - you partake in so many readathons, I like seeing how you find books for the prompts. Plus I am amazed at the number of chunkers you can get read in a month!
@@cajunpeachreads I'm not going to read all of this. There is no way. But I like having options
Hey Emily! I love the snoopy book mark! The Christmas LM Montgomery....I did not know about this book!...will have to check it out! lots of books I had never heard of, but really enjoyed seeing ty!
@@theBeachbumbookworm the LM Montgomery book I got with a Barnes and Noble purchase
I have a few Ideas I'd love to share with you to grow your audience and engagements
Nice content Just wondering why your view is so low
@@JackRid-k5s I don't have a tripod to set my phone on. I use an IKEA stand propped up on two pillows and an ottoman. As a school teacher whose youtube is not monetized, that is all I can afford to do. Thanks for understanding.
@@emilyreads5207 You are Welcome, are you open to few idea, any means of communication?

Great Unhaul, thanks for sharing.
I didn't know you went to Seminary and studied counseling - though I can definitely see that in you. That's a lot of books but since you don't want to read/re-read them it's nice that they could go to someone you would enjoy them.
@cajunpeachreads yes- I stopped a course and two practicum shy of my master's. COVID pandemic and working a residential job where I was getting calls at all hours if the day made it hars to juggle.
I may have just cleaned you out a bit over on Pango 😅 so many of these sound good! Thank you for passing them along ☺️💜
@@ShainaInColorland thank you! I'll check my pango shop and pack things up. I will post on Monday after work.
@@emilyreads5207 no rush at all!
Hey Emily! A week and 4 days…not that your counting lol Free laptop! That’s amazing!! A book gift card!! Awesome! The cover in pride and premeditation is great! That is one chunky book! lol Everyone I go on vacation someone dies sounds really interesting! 🩷🩷💜📚☕️📚☕️😃😃
@theBeachbumbookworm I think you would like Everytime I Go on Vacation...Pride and Premeditation is the first jn a series and the covers on the other two are just as gorgeous. And now we are at less than a week left of break. Boo.
I just finished watching the BBC Middlemarch Series last week. I think that was my 3rd viewing. Congratulations on your wins and new laptop! My favorite read was The Shivering Sands by Victoria Holt. Amazing twist at the end! I shy away from big books but usually do what you did with big classics and divide readings up.
My favorite read of July was Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan. So much fun!
Wow - a free laptop - how fabulous! Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies sounds really cute. My favorite from July was Nosy Neighbors by Freya Sampson.
@@cajunpeachreads it was wild that EVERYONE got a free laptop
That fantasy novella is the length of some complete books! That is a lot of prompts for one readathon but you have a lot of good choices it sounds like. Hope you enjoy your picks! 😀
@@cajunpeachreads it's a lot of prompts, but you can double up on prompts. So you can use one book for as many prompts as it works for.
Piranesi is one of my favorite books ever. It is definitely best to go in blind. It's strange at first but it starts to makes sense so stick with it!
@iheartwalle I have.heard that it's super confusing at first by the payoff is worth it.
I think Tomorrow ×3 would work for colorful.
@@AmysBookishLife yes it would!
I loved A River Enchanted and The Wishing Game!!!
@@AmysBookishLife I am so looking forward to a River Enchanted
Hope you enjoy your reads! That is a chunky novella. 😀 If your filming on your phone you should have a setting to mirror your video where it flips you around and makes your books show the right way.
@StormReads I am on my phone. Thanks for that because I didn't know about that tip!
@@emilyreads5207 Your welcome. Google how to mirror your camera and it should tell you how to do it.
I'm not seeing it, but I will dive into some RUclips videos when I'm not busy watching the Olympics!
Oooh, when i re-read The Count of Monte Cristo, I'm totally going to _map out_ a reading plan! Thanks for that! 📚 I read Lonesome Dove for June on the Range and here we are, in the middle of July and I am still thinking about it! It was *so* not my genre, but the writing/storytelling is phenomenal and the characters are fantastic!
@@Lu.G. the reading plan kept .motivated. I did fall behind (special ed teacher and health stuff happened), but I expected that i would fall behind some and just kept plugging away.
Hey Emily!! Aww thx for shoutout!❤❤ I love the way you broke down how you read big books. That’s a great idea! Food scientist…that’s really interesting! The women!!! Yes! Love Kristin Hannah! I’ve heard such great things about just for the summer!! That is all folks…lol So fun!! ❤📚☕️😊🌼🌈
I figured Count of Monte Cristo might be your favorite of the year so far! I like that you explain your answers because even though I've not read the books I understand why you picked your favorite character, etc. 😊
@cajunpeachreads I had to explain the Cassian choice over Rhysand because the SJM Fandom prefers Rhys by far. And yes, I love Rhys.
I read The Count of Monte Cristo well over 10 years ago, but it remains one of my favorite classic books of all time. All the best in getting caught up with Stormlight. I am very excited for Wind and Truth too! Other new releases I am excited for this year include The Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne, and The Navigator's Children by Tad Williams. So far, my favorite books this year would be: The Serpent Sword by Matthew Harffy Wolf's Head by Steven A. McKay The Wall of Storms by Ken Liu
@landon_woods-of-yore Count of MC is so good! I need to read Dandelion Dynasty (I have book 1 and 2) but I want to get caught up on some series before taking on another big one. I haven't read Shadow or Hunger of the God's, but I do have book 1. I'm nervous for it because Faithful and the Fallen didn't work for me that mucb.
@@emilyreads5207 Hopefully The Bloodsworn Saga will be more enjoyable for you than Faithful and the Fallen. It definitely has a much different feel. I found the Norse influence in The Shadow of the Gods to be refreshing and unique.
You have so many choices for July! And I agree Middle Grade books are so chunky now. Your class is reading much more interesting books than we had in school!!
Well, I didn't pick the books that I'm teaching but they do sound intriguing. I would not teach hard classics as a special ed teacher anyway. I also feel thet most high school students are not ready for much of the canonical texts that are taught in high school. I'm nit saying that those texts don't have value, just that they deal with issues that teenagers are not mature enough or care enough about yet.
I enjoyed your answers to this tag and was so happy to hear that you enjoyed The Count of Monte Cristo. It's definitely my favorite classic. I just finished Words of Radiance on Saturday and am eager to get to the next one.
It's a good one for sure!
Alan Gratz is great
Awesome! I haven't read anything by him before, and I'll be teaching his book next school year. Glad to hear it's something good!
Hey Emily! I like mid month wrap ups! 12 books?!? Wow…that’s amazing!! Darn flies! So annoying! Art is subjective!!! Keep comments civil…I’m so sorry that that needs to be said!!! I love the noodle shop…do think this series gets better and better! 💖💖☕️😊📚🌈
Ohh that's good to know about the noodles shop. I got book 2 out from the library. Just need to figure out how to fit it in for the readathon.lol.
