"She's not the brightest spoon in the fork" is now my new favorite saying. 🤣
I totally relate to sometimes wanting (or wanting to want) to live how i see others do, with their fast, eventful, loud lives full of big groups of friends etc. but i've realized that dwelling on that just makes me feel miserable for no good reason. I know my own heart and my own idea of a good, peaceful, life, so i shouldn't begrudge myself for choosing my comfort. It's okay to try new things every so often, but i tell myself it's okay if i simply don't want to constantly be moving or aspiring for something different.
Honestly, watching content like yours has helped me ground myself a lot during times of self-doubt, and i've learned to unapologetically be more accepting towards MY idea of a good life - cozy, quiet, enriching - spent pursuing my interests. 🌷
So true ❤
I bought a vintage copy of dickens yesterday and this video opens up with "I dreamed of Charles Dickens Last Night" lmao
ooh what dickens was it👀
@@emmiereads it's a merged copy of Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, I read one Oliver Twist chapter in school library once and always wanted to read it since.
@@emmiereads I bought a "centennial collection" of Dickens at a book fair(along with 25 other books,which cost about 2600₹ or 41$ CAD and I have had the pleasure of getting the penguin edition of Christmas carol along as one of the books. I can't wait to take a crack at it maybe as a fall treat
Love the massive sideways book stack 😆 honestly looks pretty nice, big overcrowded tiny old bookstore vibes 📚
that’s true! although not sure how I’m supposed to grab anything on the bottom now😅
Friday night at home with cats and books, sounds good to me !
That's a perfect evening! ❤❤ Thank you, Emma. 🐈⬛🐈⬛ 📚📚 ☕☕
I have to agree! 🐱📚
Being obsessed with spy x family from the get go is so real. Randomly watched the first few episodes with my friend and fell in love IMMEDIATELY. Hope you continue to love it!!!!!
🫶☺️✂️✂️
I started reading the manga and I'm loving it 🥹💗
I love watching these readathons! Especially now that I’m in a reading mood it feels like we’re all reading together 🥰
Ah. I love whenever I’m depressed you upload a readathon. Btw Miyazaki’s How Do You Live already came out in 2023, but they changed the name in English to
“The Boy and the Heron”
The booktuber with the finest mind, softest voice and cutest haircut strikes again.
The Power of Introverts resonated deeply with me and may be helpful for your feelings of otherness by wanting a quiet life. It was very validating for me and I wish it existed when I was younger when I was that person you saw dressed up on the streets but deep down inside I didn’t want to be there.
✂ your vlogs make me feel so calm and cozy every single time! and also friday nights spent in bed with cats and books sound more perfect than those spent dressed up outside so you're not alone in this feeling haha let's just all chill at home with our pets and stories to our hearts' content
these videos are coming up so fast, thank u for feeding us this wonderful content!!
I could easily watch Emma content every day
Spy x family is such a consistently good series
I hope you continue reading it!
✂️✂️ loved how you grabbed Grendel's face - I have definitely also had those head grabbing moments when you want to explain something is forbidden to your cat 😂
✂️ I didn’t even know there was a scissors emoji 😅
I’ve read (and loved) all these picks. When Emma (and others who have it on their TBR) get the Grace of Wild Things, you’re all in for a treat!
You never fail to get me out of a reading slump :)) Love your content!
i really love this type of chatty, cozy videos from you, makes me feel like i'm hanging out with a friend :)
I love having a Sunday evening watching Booktube videos. This was so lovely! Happy reading ☺
"Welcome to my new obsession ☺️" -- this will be my new line for my friends, everytime i pick up a new book that i love 🤭
✂️ loved the vlog. And Friday nights going out are over-rated! I used to love to snuggle and read on Friday nights with my older cat before he passed away. 🐈⬛❤ Now the 2 younger ladies I have don't want a bit of it! 🤦🏼♀️🤣
I usually don't comment but I just wanted to say how much I love your videos and how much they help me calm down ❤ I also love Calcifer and Grendel; my boyfriend and I adopted a kitten last december and it has been so wonderful and we're so happy with him. He's fully black and does the blep thing with his tongue and he's such a sweetheart and sits on my lap all the time. I remember in one of your videos when you just had Calcifer that the vet had told you he'd become a big boy; our vet told us the same thing about our boy hahah! 😺
Congratulations on your kitty adoption! 🎉 🎉 I love house panthers and have always had black cats. I wish you many, many years of love and companionship with your newest family member! ❤❤ 🐈⬛
@@trishnickles2236 thank you! We also nicknamed ours panther hahah 😉
Awe my heart:’) so wonderful - what’s his name?? Sending all three of you all the love ❤
@@emmiereads His name is Mavi 😄
been having a blah day today but got myself to finally get out of bed and now i’m in a cafe watching this while enjoying warm soup. your videos bring me such comfort emmie :)
✂️✂️✂️
Great cozy 24 hour reading vlog Emmie 😊
Calcifer and Grendel just adorable !!!!
✂SO GLAD YOU FOUND SPY X FAMILY!!! the anime has saved me from many many sad days. I have never loved a fictional character as I have loved our daughter Anya. Also Grendel is a VIBE! sending loads of love
Emma videos are always a day brightener. Just got my copy of the May book for book club. Made it through Beauty is a Wound, had a less visceral reaction than a lot of people, but understood it wasn't to everyone's taste. Am also reading Rain Birds from last month and finding that quite a bit less challenging. Have a great week, Emma! Keep up the good work!
Finally someone who feels the same way for Once Upon a Broken Heart. I still can't believe people compare it with The Night Circus.
SPY FAMILY LET'S GOOOO !!!!
The Miyazaki film is out by the way!! The Boy and the Heron, it's so so good...
What you said is so true!! I also feel that same way frequently, feeling like maybe i should be more extroverted and stuff, even though i know it will make me uncomfortable.
Thank you for the cozy vibes in this video, it felt like a warm hug! I totally relate to this idea of "wanting to want" a more extroverted lifestyle but actually craving something different. Thank you for sharing it; it's made me feel less alone. And I'm so glad you discovered so many great reads in this video, I'll definitely check them out
im happy you decided to continue with The Ballad of Never After! i really loved it, and i hope you'll like it too~
Really enjoying all the content lately!
awe wonderful I’m so glad💕
Ok so if you think you love historical fantasy I CANNOT WAIT for you to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. It’s a lot of info dump but the big picture is SO impressive and a friend compared it to Jane Austen if she wrote Harry Potter for grownups and tossed in fairies and foundational fantasy concepts.
i have always had that thing where people don't get why i don't care about the dressy rat race, i prefer the woods , jeans, dogs and my books. i read Midnight Sun to get out of a reading slump LOL! I read Atwaters 3 books , they were cute.
Just Love your readathons Emma💞
The new Miyazaki film has actually been out since last year, it's called The Boy and the Heron. It is only loosely based on How Do You Live though, the central theme is the same and the book has a cameo in the movie, but the plot is completely different. Wonderful movie all the same, highly recommend.
oh noooo and here i thought we are getting another studio glibli movie 😩
“Didn’t care about anyone but Jacks” is honestly how I felt about the entire Caraval trilogy
Yes! Half A Soul was so fun! I’m glad you read it! Her other books in this sort of genre are super fun!
AHHHHHH YOU HAVE BLESSED US AGAIN ✂️
I absolutely love the cozy vibe of the video! The part where you mentioned dreaming about Charles Dickens really resonated with me. I try to infuse my waking life with a bit of Dickensian charm too. For instance, I named my motorcycle Estella, inspired by one of his characters with a name that I love. Great video Emmie! Love it! ❤
Loved your vlog! It's a great mix of cozy, and you really cheered me up. Getting all dressed up is way overrated! I'll take cozy comfy fur babies, books, or watching booktube over being in crowded loud places in uncomfortable clothes any day!
i'm also in the mood for some easy fun romance/fantasy books these days so this came at the right time !
I saw your burst of successive goodreads ratings and was hoping it was the result of a 24 hour readathon ❤
With regards to the book prices I was told by the lady in Waterstones in England that the publishers put all their prices up but if the book had a lower printed price they were honouring the price printed but when they get new stock they will be at the more expensive price.
Oh my god I'm so happy you like spy x family ❤😭😭
It's one of my fave series
Same!!
Loved this video, felt so cosy and comforting. You have also reminded me that I need to pick up Half A Soul. It’s been on my radar for years but I’ve never picked it up so this is an excellent reminder for me to do so.
✂️💙
Emma you should post more on ur asmr channel 😭😭 ever since i saw ur channel i was like i love asmr she would be so good at some soft spoken stuff AND THEN I FOUND IT but then i realized you hadnt posted on it in a year and then i went thru the 5 stages of grief
You might be in luck soon!!!!❤
“Simultaneously good and bad at the same time” - YES that’s exactly how I feel about OUABH, and now I’m on the second one and I’m like, whyyyyy am I spending my time reading this but I have to know what happens😅
Very fun video. Loved seeing the Indigo you go to. The place, the trees, all look amazing. What's your favourite thai food? ✂️
Recently I’ve fallen in love with pad see ew!!
@@emmiereads oh! I've never tried that. I will next time I get a chance. Thanks! 🥡
✂ Scissors emoji as requested - can't wait to read Half a Soul! It sounds so good 😊📚
if historical fantasy turns out to be your thing you will LOVE your game of tomes pick for november (?) jonathan strange and mr norrell love love love
Yessss so looking forward to that one!!
🩷
Yes, such a fun book! It’s hard to imagine how Susanna Clarke did it as a debut novel.
✂️✂️ loved half a soul! Honestly reminded me so much of my own self.
✂️✂️ I’m gonna put “not the brightest spoon in the fork” on a shirt ❤ I adore you Emmie lol
Tea is ready, blanket as well: time to get cozy! ☕
🥰💕
Reqlly cool to see you pick up Spy x Family. I've only watched the anime, but it's been consistently a feel good, cozy series despite all the action. ✂️
The "not the brightest spoon in the fork" moment just HAS to go in your next Bloopers video, even though we were already here for it.
Emma.. Please recommend me an audiobook that you loved listening to. I love your videos so much. Have been a fan since emmie was at 30k subscribers. Sending you hugs from India.
I LOVED listening to the Illuminae Files on audio, it was a full cast with sound effects and some music, so good!!! Sending hugs back🩵
Thank you for the recommendation ♥️
✂️✂️ i would love to see a How Do You Live review and a comparison with Miyazaki’s movie The Boy and the Heron
Emma, you should do a vid on how to get out of a reading slump caused by ✨️technology✨️ thanks n bye queen
A new video! Yay ✨absolutely love a readathon video 🤩❤
Oh no sorry to hear that you didnt like Middlemarch! I grew to love the novel and now think of it as a work as epic in scale as War and Peace, cutting across so many disciplines like politics, psychology, philosophy, sociology.
Loved this so much!! So cozy and nice ❤✂️
could it be Little Dorrit by Dickens, the one you've dreamed? I LOVE THAT BOOK
There's already an "adaptation" of the book How Do You Live. It's called The Boy and the Heron. It won an oscar. I'm not sure about the extent of it being an adaptaton because they said it was loosely based or inspired by.
omggggg my fave person posted a new vid 🥲❤️
💕💕
✂ I've came back to the 32"53 mark a few times, not gonna lie.
edit: thanks for talking about Half a Soul! I'm 72% in and I'm IN LOVE 💚 it's soooo good
My phone battery is at 4% but I have priorities
✂️ I have had Once Upon a Broken Heart and Half a Soul on my bookshelf for months now. Hopefully one of them will get me out of a reading slump.
She wanted to read half a soul for a longest time now she finally read it I also have soo manyy I want to read just sitting on my shelf hopefully I'll be able to read after my exams
I picked up Bel Canto by Ann Patchett a week ago. It sounds like something you would like. An opera soprano is one of the characters. It gave a hint of Phantom of the Opera.✂🐈🐈⬛
I absolutely loved Half a Soul ❤️
This year's just been so harder for me to read anything cuz I'm not having time, but al the reads I had were some of the best of my life. 100 years of solitude, Dumbing us down, Blindness by Saramago and even a fanfic (which was something I thought I'd never read). Howeve rI simply GOTTA read Coddling of American Mind and The Magic Montaing by Thomas Mann or I'ma go nuts
I felt the exact same about the Stephanie Garber trilogy lmaoo and yet I ate it all up
Have you read The Travelling Cat Chronicles? It was one of my best reads laat year. You'll like that a LOT!
I want to read The Grace of Wild Things as well. Thanks for another great video! ✂
So happy you like Half a soul! You'll have more of the faerie land in book 2 which is the best imo, and more balls and romance in the 3rd, which is not the best imo lol And I agree, it's very reminiscent of Dickens' Oliver Twist and very well written ✂️
the peace that I get from watching your videos AAAh! I love you Emma ! But The way now that you discovered your love for Historical Fantasy, could you pick up The familiar by Leigh Bardugo; I think you may like that one too
✂️ this video came at the perfect time. Great recs ! ❤
✂️ (appropriate, I've been sewing thru this vid) ✨📖📚
I read Bewitched by Laura Thalassa last year and i can't remember a single thing about the book except that there's a creepy sleeping beauty-like guy. So take from that what you will 😂Great video as always Emmie!
✂️ love your videos and your cats! 🫶🏻😅
Hi Emmie, can you please make a romance recommendation video? I want to start reading romance but don't know where to start. Thank you!
More signs to read Half a Soul lol. Its high on my list for sure. If ur still in the mood for silly goofy books I will continue to recommend Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger. It’s a chaotic historical fantasy (1860s I think) middle grade and I think u would either love or hate it. Either way I’d love to know ur opinion on it.
Hi emmie, I have a question. How do you star your books? Based on what criteria?
6:21 I IMMEDIATELY thought of Jennifer Coolidge saying “you’re not very pretty and you’re not very bright” from a Cinderella Story 😭😂
"She's not the brighest spoon in the fork". Definitely me thinking in english
SHES NOT THE BRIGHTEST SPOON IN THE FORK 😂😂 subscribed 😂
✂️
Love you, Emma! Thanks for your video!
I love your content it's make give a peace of mind!❤
I dont comment alot but you describing OUABH as “both bad and good at the same time” is so right on haha. Such bad pacing and overall writing but also i think about the world alottt and needed to read the second immediately also ha
jsyk the boy and the heron (the book based on how do you live by miyazaki) has already been released
Loved this video! ✂️
✂✂✂ Thank you! Have a nice upcoming week!
just when I needed a pick up, you posted! ☺
💕💕
✂️I'm now always going to say "not the brightest spoon in the fork" 😂😂😂 I put Half a Soul on hold at the library after this vlog!
If you want to read more fun regency romances, i recently read "the benevolent society of ill-mannered ladies" by alison goodman---so good! highly recommend. ✂
About Evangeline's survival instinct, if we can call it that, just wait until the second book: it does NOT get better 😂(but I can't lie, there's something that just keeps me reading..)
The overall world is pretty great. Very fairytale-esque. The balls, gowns, The Hollow, the forests, random curses, tale of foxes and hunters, the dragons etc.. I actually appreciate Stephanie Garber writing Evangeline to be the way she is. In a lot of fantasy romances, the main girl is always cunning, smart, sassy, snarky, has plans, and knows how to wield a dagger, sword, bow and arrow...whatever. Evangeline is none of that and it was honestly a breath of fresh air to see somebody so stupid (i love her) with no solid plans. She goes with the flow and gets pushed around by the plot sometimes and I don't mind at all. And of course if Jacks was just the typical bad boy....a lot of us would have stopped reading by now. Including me. His backstory and overall tragicness is fun. So all those things keep us reading I think. I can't wait to pick up A Curse for True Love!
@katgreer6113 I must say I actually don't read a lot of fantasy, so I couldn't compare the series to a lot of other books 😅. Still, I agree there's definitely something captivating to these characters (all those curses were intriguing), and yeah, the tragic aspects are kind of funny (I mean, poor Apollo has been cursed three times ahahah)
✂🥄 In German, we say someone's "not the brightest candle on the cake", but I might switch out candles for spoons and forks now 😃
Great vlog 📚☕
thank you love🩵
so true once upon a broken heart is actually so bad plot wise, character wise, substance wise... but the vibes?? whimsical. beautiful. magical. like it's so sad i wanted to love it but it's so empty. i mean the prophecy, the vampires, the way everything revolves around evangeline and she makes the dumbest decisions lmao...
