what a surprise! one of my best friends is reading my brilliant friend and now the fact it's first in your list makes me want to read it so bad
loved this!! added several to my tbr :)
I really need to continue with Ferrante. I've only read My Brilliant Friend but loved it. I think my favorite read of 2024 might be Look at Me by Anita Brookner.
Watching this video felt so old youtube. Like just a real person speaking in front of a camera... I can't explain it well but it was a pleasure
what were your favourite reads of 2024? <3
I loved BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON, by Rebecca West, which is her travel diary through the kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1936. Amazing book, specially Wests writing and historical approaches. 😊
House looks great 🏠 I think next year should definitely be a 1v1. Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄
Merry Christmas! and thank you :) we'll make sure to film a 1v1 next year! ☺🎄
so interesting to hear your thoughts on your dissertation, it sounds super engaging, i love how you talk about writing i've heard a lot about didion and babitz, it sounds great!! although i've not read either of their works, but they are so appealing to me at the moment :))
Cool video! How frustrating is, in this period, spotting sun shining everywhere at 7am. I miss having that:(
I’m really impressed with your RUclips channel! The content you’re creating is top-notch and incredibly informative. The way you present your topics is really helpful for your audience.
Hi, Refreshing and interesting, this personal and sincere video by an intelligent and cute Cambridge student. 👍 Wishing you all the best for your studies.
I'd love to see more of your vlogs. They are calming and inspiring at the same time ❤️
❤📚🎄❤️ Beautiful video with your calming voice and wonderful recommendations. Little Women is one of my favorites of all time. I also loved Sense and Sensibility. I bought the whole Neapolitan Novels series, like new, at a library sell ...still need to read!
thank you so much! ☺ Little Women and Sense and Sensibility are such wonderful books and if you love them I think you will really enjoy the Neapolitan series! 🤎
@emilymharper 😃👍
your video is nice, good recommendations and a calming atmosphere! However, may I suggest turning down the music just a bit? Since you're so soft-spoken I found it a little hard to follow what you were saying.. the music was a little distracting. Good video nonetheless! Thank you for your effort
thank you for your comment! that's helpful to know and I'll make sure to turn the music down, and my mic up in the future :)
Love this!! Thanks for the recommendations🥰🥰
Thanks Charlotta!! I miss you 🥰💗💗💗
Thank you so much for the recommendations!
the video has such a comforting vibe i almost cried, because i felt so light and calm, something i don’t get to experience often. New Follower for sure
thank you so much! I really relate to your comment because this is the same reason I watch RUclips, and I'm glad to hear that this video can create a sense of calm for you <3
Can I ask where did you go bowling? Its my birthday next week and I'm trying to figure out what to do that's affordable in London with me and some friends!
great book recs! you're really calming
thank you! ☺
I can only hear you in one ear with headphones :(
I think the editing is like that..
thanks for letting me know! I was trying out a different microphone and I'm not sure what happened but will make sure to fix for next time :)
Hi Emily ! Do you remember me ? I'm always attracted and addicted to you. I am reading Rachel Carson's The Sense of Wonder ! She is best known for her work "Silent Spring". New translation published in Japan. The work was never completed, so a new continuation was published by the translator. That's very interesting. Excellent. Books have always given me knowledge, wisdom, and the ability to raise questions. Don't you think so, too ? I forgot to say to you. I'm also reading "All the Light We Cannot see" written by Anthony Doeer .
Hi! It's nice to hear from you again :) I haven't read any of Rachel Carson's works but The Sense of Wonder looks really interesting, thank you for the recommendation! I also feel that books encourage questions and curiosity, I think it's one of my favourite things about reading! "All the Light We Cannot See" is also on my list, let me know if you like it.
Let me know what books you recommend reading this December? xx
Emily, how tall are you?
I'm about 5'5 :)
such a fun vlog!! came back to update you with bunny, i finished and absolutely loved it! the end had me so shocked, such a good book, your recommendations never miss :)))
hi again! and thank you for the update, I always love hearing what people think about bunny since it's such a unique read (that ending was so intense!) I'm very curious to read more of her work! :))
Hi, I love your videos, they’re so cosy to watch! Just wondering how you manage to travel so much as that’s my dream!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy them! I have family and friends living in many different countries and I visit them :)
I just love your videos so much, they keep me together, whenever i watch them it calms up my brain sm to another level, and i just love to rewatch this whole series of Cambridge diaries over and over again, its just such a comfort watch, helps me deal with my stress
thank you so much for your kind comment! it is lovely hear that my videos are a comfort watch :) that is my favourite thing about RUclips ☺
hii! oh please do make a goodreads, it would be so fun to be able to see what you’re reading in real time!! I love these videos youre so eloquent when speaking about literature ☺️☺️
hi!! I do need to make a goodreads, for now I have shelf where I update with current faves shelf.im/emilyharper & thank you, so happy you're loving the videos! ☺ xxx
Hi Emily, It's been a long time ! Although I'm learning English from a native speaker, it's not easy to get better. These days I'm reading Salinger and Kafka.But this is a Japanese translation.It seems I have an interest in foreign literature. Thank you. Your videos are really informative. I hope you continue to introduce me to good books.
Hi!! nice to hear from you again :) Are you enjoying reading Salinger and Kafka? I do love foreign literature very much! I'll make sure to continue these book videos :) Thank you for your lovely comment!
i love your book videos!! your recommendations have never missed for me, i'm about to start bunny, i hope i love it!! i also want to read the secret history before the end of the year, as well as intermezzo☺
thank you! <3 I hope you love bunny, lmk what you think ☺ it's been one of the most memorable (and strange) reads of the year for me! secret history is on my list too and I've heard good things about intermezzo xx
Love your book videos!!
thank you!! so happy you enjoy them <3
Oh my gosh bunny was such a fun read!!!
it really was!! 🐰 have you read any other Mona Awad books?
@emilymharper i have not yet! My list of books to read is getting so long but I do want to read more of her writing because wow, her writing style is so unique and I love it
Love hearing all these rec ❤ thank you! As a former student in French lit, i'd recommend "The elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery! It's a story of friendship by an old lodger who secretly loves books and a teenager who struggle with her mental health. Very heartwarming ❤ read it several times during my life, and each time, i fell in love again❤
loved this video :)
thank you :) so happy you enjoyed it <3
Please do make a self care category. Also you look super healthy and glowing in this video ❤
thank you for your comment, i'm so happy you want to see a self care series 💜
holy shit i got chills when isadora mentioned weetzie bat. seriously one of my favorite novels and absolutely no one ever mentions it!!! i literally wrote abt it in my college essays it's phenomenal
Hi from Greece. Thanks alot for your nice video. What a coincidence...I read Madonna in a fur coat in Turkish... Sabahattin Ali has been killed by secret service when trying to enter Bulgaria at his forties... Wish you success in your life... all the best dear Emily...
I really enjoy your books recs and the way you talk about books, i'm so glad to discover your channel <3
@@thichinhgirard thank you so much! so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos <3
wow finally someone recomending different books , loved this!
So happy you enjoyed the video! :)
I've been eyeing The Third Love for quite some time but was unsure whether or not I should pick it up because of the mixed reviews. But you've convinced me to pick it up
It’s definitely a controversial book but very thought-provoking and well written, hope you enjoy reading it!
Love your blouse where did you get it from xx
thank you! It's a Sandro blouse from seasons ago but if I find a similar I'll make sure to link it xx
I would love a monthly book club. I have read Elena Ferrante's, The Days of Abandonment and The Lost Daughter, both amazing. Also, Jhumpa Lahiri's first set of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies and her book The Namesake, both stunning. Have you read any Nicole Krauss? I don't tend to see booktubers talking about her but her books are incredible; novels told through multiple narrators that arc together in a satisfying way. Great House and The History of Love are my favourites. Would definitely recommend.
thank you for your lovely comment and all your great recs! I haven't read any Nicole Krauss but her books sound fascinating and I'm very intrigued about the multiple narrators. I also cannot wait to read the Jhumpa Lahiri and Elena Ferrante books too, maybe one can be a first book club pic :)
we have the same taste in books ! i’m glad that I discovered your channel <3 looking forward to more of your recommendations vids 💎
I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! thank you for your lovely comment <3
you have impeccable taste-love these recommendations ! that said, I believe you’d enjoy the works of Deborah Levy. her writing blends introspection and layered storytelling, with a focus on identity and the complexities of modern life. if you haven’t already, I’d highly recommend starting with The Cost of Living or Things I Don’t Want to Know. I think you’d really resonate with her themes and narrative style <3
thank you so much for your lovely comment and recommendations! I've been meaning to read more Deborah Levy, I recently read Things I Don't Want to Know and found her themes around finding home and women writers fascinating, and now I want to read the rest of the series <3 do you enjoy her fiction too?
Nice ... I'm guessing you have already read Carolyn Drake but if you haven't you must read her books ..
Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't read any Carolyn Drake yet, which one of her books is your favourite?
Watching these videos make me so happy and relaxed!
Lovely vlog! I’m glad I found your channel. Hugs from Canada.
Congrats...better late than never and one more thing i love your mom's smile , seems very innocent 😊
The cooking part 😅😅
I love that I haven't heard about most of these! I definitely want to check out Eve Bites Back and All's Well soon ( I also recently finished reading Bunny and I loved it so much)
so happy you found some books to read! and isn't bunny so good! I still haven't read All's Well yet but I have high hopes!
Well, never been to London but I guess there are many things to do in there and of course if the weather is okay.....but hey lovely vlog and the bond you have with your sister👌 so yeah do share her songs link...😊
