Ohhhh god I almost cried when you started speaking French!! It warms my heart so much to hear it spoken by people who learned it as a second language! You're really good!! 💞
"A single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia,” Lord Thomas Macaulay's address to the British Parliament on 2nd Feb, 1835. Macaulay's comment did not only demonstrate his white supremacy but his ignorance and stupidity. If only he knew Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sankrit and the regional languages of South Asia.. So much gets lost in translation. Imagine how beautiful Gibran's works in his native language must be if those rendered in English appear to mesmerise Western readers. High time we recognize the richness and eloquence of Eastern languages. Just felt the need to put this out there :)
Your channel inspires me so much! I always get a burst of positivity after listening to you talk about what you're reading and how your day was. This was definitely the highlight of my day! 💖
the end made me cry. Thank you for sharing your down-moments, it really resonated. It also motivated me to have a shower and have the cosiest night possible myself. Thank you so much.
I am now at a point where I am starting new books but am not able to complete any. I am literally overwhelmed, there's so much I would love to read but I don't have enough time.
Whenever I feel a reading slump starting, I watch one of Emma's videos and I am instantly energized! All hail Emma, queen of calming bookish content!!!
Coucou Emma, tu n'as pas à t'inquiéter, ton niveau français est très bon ;) Ce serait super que tu fasses un vlog entièrement en français ! Je te regarde depuis la France et tes vidéos me permettent de découvrir des livres méconnus dans mon pays, c'est passionnant. Bonne journée à toi ❤
Most wholesome content ever 💜 so glad you managed to go through your day, anxiety and all, and ended having a nicer evening. I hope the cozy vibes gods send lots of them your way, to compensate for how many you put out in the world 🌻🌼🌺🏵️🌸💮🌹🌷
Emma kinda stole my personality cause her favorite books are on my 5 star shelf and ever since I discovered that, my TBR has basically become a collection of the books she talks about in her videos
I’ve been unwell for a few days so this vlog was so needed 🥺 also, you speaking French is my new love 🥰 always a joy to watch your videos! And that owl was so cute?? 🦉
hi emma!! your videos have inspired me to pick up books again, even ones out of my usual genre!! i am so into classic books now; i never thought it could go this way. thank you so much
Another lovely video by a lovely soul... I recently completed reading the picture of Dorian Grey and I was constantly reminded of how much you liked it... Loved that book 💛
The Prophet blew my mind a little bit when I read it. And I came to it in such a weird way: a different quote by Gibran which I actually first heard watching One Tree Hill, way back in the day: Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
I HAVE NO SHELF CONTROL EITHER! awww, emma. looking at you running in your garden with your cute dog is so wholesome. your vlogs not only feel like a ghibli movie, but they also look like one. also, I managed to finish one book for the da readathon, but then I finally got my copy of war and peace today, so of course I dropped all the books I was reading to start reading that one.
Hey Emma, I am a Wildlife Biology major at Clemson University and i am fairly sure your residential owl is in fact an eastern screech owl, certainly has the most similarities of all the species I've learned 😁
I've been watching your channel since September or October and I was just thinking how I've loved watching the seasons through your vlogs it really makes me appreciate the beauty of the world 🍃✨
As a French viewer, so happy to hear you speak French !! Your French is great, I would be delighted to hear more ! (It is 'ce vlog' by the way !) Also wow these donuts 🍩 ! And Kiki's Delivery Service is a gem ✨
I got so excited when you caught the owl live on video! I'm fond of owls. We have a few resident owls where I live, but I never see them. I only hear them. They must blend in very well.
If you're into movies, there's this great animated movie based on The Prophet that's incredibly beautiful. Some of the poems are read aloud and animated and it's gorgeous. PS: I'd definitely watch a video in French! I'm studying it rn & would love to get some écoutez practice :)
I'm glad that you were feeling better by the end of the night! I hope that you're still feeling good now! Thank you for another brilliantly beautiful video
I don't know how da heck I end up finding your channel but every since I found you, I have been getting back to my reading habit more often. Thank you for the inspiration :)
OMG your French is sooo good, congrats!! As a French person, I really admire people who choose to learn French because it looks like a very complicated language to learn fully... I mean even us have trouble speaking and writing French sometimes so 😂 Anyway, I hope you get to practice your French in the future because it would be a shame to lose that! Xx
I live in Ontario and I learned French in elementary school and high school. I used to speak French quite well then, but once I graduated high school and moved onto college and university, I stopped. Over time, I've lost the ability to communicate in French almost entirely. When you started speaking French in this vlog, my face literally lit up haha! You've made me want to start speaking it again!
Well, that settles it. I'm determined to get 100 on my French final exam! You sound lovely, and it actually quite surprised me as to how much I understood - FSL is quite the asset. Awesome video once again!
Salut ! Je te suis depuis peu de temps (je suis tombée par hasard sur ta chaîne) mais j’adore tes vidéos ! C’est super bien que tu parles français, ce vlog était vraiment cool ! 😍
Ohhhh god I almost cried when you started speaking French!! It warms my heart so much to hear it spoken by people who learned it as a second language! You're really good!! 💞
This channel lives upto the description mentioned. “Cozy calming” content😌💯

Thank for writing this ♥️
THIS!!! Thank you for saying something I've felt for so long as a South Asian.
when you were mentioning the owl and said “i will appreciate it..” i heard “owl appreciate it” and thought you were making an owl joke 😂
haha i definitely was!!
lol, and also "WHOO are you" :)
I watch Emmie’s reading vlogs in bed at night before I going to bed. It’s just soothing and I nod off afterwards ( this is a compliment). 🧡
Your channel inspires me so much! I always get a burst of positivity after listening to you talk about what you're reading and how your day was. This was definitely the highlight of my day! 💖
Hey thanks for introducing me to Gibran.. I just started the prophet and loving it so far. 😊
I'm really loving the Québec accent that's showing in some of your words when you speak French. Also, it's "ce" vlog by the way. ^^
my brain when you started speaking French: [ ]
nothing, a complete blank, but at least it sounded pretty
the end made me cry. Thank you for sharing your down-moments, it really resonated. It also motivated me to have a shower and have the cosiest night possible myself. Thank you so much.
I am now at a point where I am starting new books but am not able to complete any. I am literally overwhelmed, there's so much I would love to read but I don't have enough time.
I have that struggle too. Listening to audio books help
I was thinking about the exact same thing! 😭
I do that all the time. It’s so frustrating 😩
not me buying books without knowing which one to read first 😪 too many books that I haven't read yet.
@@jastine935 close your eyes and grab a random one lol
Loved the French, it’s nice seeing an Ontario neighbor speaking the other Canadian tongue :)
I’ve met your channel by accident on youtube recommendations and ever since I can’t stop watching it!
oh je m’y attendais tellement pas !! ton français est très bon, hâte de t’écouter parler dans de prochaines vidéos alors ;-)
Totalement en accord, bravo d’avoir pris cette initiative, c’était super d’entendre un peu de français sur booktube!
Your copy of War and Peace is so beautiful. I've never seen a book designed like that.
Reading five books at once and donuts? Two of my favourite things. I miss being able to sit somewhere and read.
when you're like 30 books behind your reading goals and need that extra push...
this channel, absolutely always this channel
There's something so calm about watching Emma's videos
Whenever I feel a reading slump starting, I watch one of Emma's videos and I am instantly energized! All hail Emma, queen of calming bookish content!!!

I watch Emma vlogs to unwind. Her vlogs are sooo wholesome ☺️
Somehow whenever I go on youtube, there is a new video uploaded super recently and it just always makes my day :)

I just love your vlogs 💕 thank you for creating content!
I love watching ur vids cuz they make me feel like we're kindred spirits
That Profit book is spot on. I've long thought the key to being a successful human being is balancing both your logical and emotional sides.
I've been watching your channel since September or October and I was just thinking how I've loved watching the seasons through your vlogs it really makes me appreciate the beauty of the world 🍃✨

Your French certainly sounded great to me. I can't decide if I would rather learn to read French or Russian.
If you're into movies, there's this great animated movie based on The Prophet that's incredibly beautiful. Some of the poems are read aloud and animated and it's gorgeous.
PS: I'd definitely watch a video in French! I'm studying it rn & would love to get some écoutez practice :)
omg i have that tote bag too!! (the no shelf control one) Gotta love indigo
I love Gibran as well, you made me buy some Rilke, and I loved him! I love your content!
Going to University makes one a master of reading multiple books at the same time. A skill that lasts a long time.
Bingus
your channel became my comfort place 🥺🥺
This was one of your loveliest vlogs ever! Just want to give you a big hug ❤️
I loved the French sounding music you used in the end while you were baking those donuts, which looked delicious, by the way!
I'm obsessed with owls. Screech owl. Awesome!
You made a good choice choosing classic music for the background
Oo your french is soo cute !!! Félicitations, tu t'en sors bien :)☀️☀️ your french biggest fan❤
I'm glad that you were feeling better by the end of the night! I hope that you're still feeling good now! Thank you for another brilliantly beautiful video

I love your authenticity
Hey! I was wondering how do you divide the time of each book? I would really like to know more! Love ❤
OMG your French is sooo good, congrats!! As a French person, I really admire people who choose to learn French because it looks like a very complicated language to learn fully... I mean even us have trouble speaking and writing French sometimes so 😂

Yaaay, you added a music section in the description, thank you so much. Hope you are doing amazing :)
What camera/mic do you use for your videos? They're always so well done! Also, this vlog made me so happy to watch :) as your vlogs usually do

I don’t understand a word in French but listening to you speak it is something I didn’t know I needed-
Turn on the notifications.
