hi creeper xo
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this color theme? From intro, to flowers, to eyeshadow! Bravo
tHANK YOU. I TOOK WAY TOO MUCH JOY IN DOING IT
I come from 2032 and i can say that Emma did a film adaptation of a Mitford's historical biography
Try reading pachinko !! by min Jin Lee !! It’s about the affects of Japanese colonialism and gender roles on a young girl who falls pregnant in the late 1890s and it’s a multigenerational story and it’s chefs kiss
Penguin published a book of the letters exchanged between Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford. They're brilliant, you should definitely check it out!
I know!!! They’ve been on my list forever and I’ve tried so hard to resist
This isn’t a novel but I know you enjoy reading philosophy so I’m going to recommend Brazilian philosophy: The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. He is mainly known for his work on critical pedagogy and the deconstruction and criticism of what he calls “banking education”. He also talks a lot about the relationship between the oppressor and the oppressed, how the oppressor can never liberate the oppressed but also how, when liberating ourselves, we must not become ourselves the oppressor. There’s also a lot on the power of dialogue and speaking your own words (idk if that translates well into English sorry).
The dropping of the books when posing for thumbnails is like my signature melody. that ALWAYS happens to me
hahaha gotta work that branding
Keep track of the “fucks!” I just lost count. An edge with the haul!
I was so excited to see The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo between them, but I'm so happy to leave this video with a new author in my TBR
If you want great African lit recs I‘d recommend the channel books by leynes! She has been focusing a lot on decolonising ones bookshelf
I love her chanel so much, would high key recommend
Will do thank you!!
I’ve finals that I didn’t study for in 7 hours, but who needs sleep anyway, watching your channel is my priority
Amos Tutuola is another Nigerian author who’s so underrated, I’d recommend “My life in the bush of ghosts” it’s a very surrealistic-trippy book
Ngugi wa Thiong'o is another great African (Kenyan) author. Not sure if you've read anything by him but I really enjoyed A Grain of Wheat
Ooooo good shout thank you!!!
@@sarcastic_fish devil on the cross is also AMAZING
Seconding this , he is incredible and he wrote a novel on prison issued toilet paper bc he was arrested for putting on a political play called “I will marry when I want” king behaviour !! And his piece “decolonising the mind” is so good too
Best day for a new video! :D And thank you Emma for always including timestamps!
Every time I’m like you bought way to many books Sophie you are on a no buy you post a new video and here I go again😂😂😂
oh noes not again, the publishers laughing at us both like 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
One of my favourite authors that I wish more people would read is Kader Abdolah. He is originally from Iran, but fled to the Netherlands in the late 80s when he was ~34. Later he started writing columns and books in Dutch and I really enjoy his writing style. :) His novels deal with diaspora, the immigrant experience and Iranian culture. I think his most popular book is 'the house of the mosque' which follows a family around the time of the Iranian revolution. I really like 'reis van de lege glessen' (journey of the empty bottles), but that one has been translated to several languages except for English unfortunately
yeah, I remember when I read Love in a Cold Climate last year I had it in my head that it was going to be a serious drama, so I was confused to say the least.
Can't wait for part 2 ♥
If you want some colonial Philippines in your book shelf, I recommend Nick Joaquin's The Woman Who Had Two Navels and Tales of the Tropical Gothic (Penguin Classics) and Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo (also Penguin Classics). I have a bunch more to recommend but these are good intro books to Philippine lit + the easiest to find outside of Asia :)
Also, I love all your book videos (even if this is not a book channel, yeahp, i know)!
there's just something about you that's mesmerizing. god i could listen to you all day long
Okay, after having previously started it 3 times but never finishing it, I finally re-started and actually completed Orlando last year. I really, really liked it and prefer it over perhaps more canonical Woolf, e.g., Mrs. Dalloway. Also, to prepare for the course on "The Literature of Plague" that I'm teaching in the fall, I'm planning on starting The Decameron (same translation but I got the hardcover since it's soooo long) in a couple weeks and doing a tale per day. Lastly, THANK YOU for putting Nancy Mitford on my radar. Her books seem to be hard to come by in my country (i.e., the US), and the ones available aren't the UK Penguins with those fantastic book covers, so at some point, I'm going on the British Amazon and stocking up!
BTW, if you're interested in more "African" literature, I highly recommend reading some of the plays by the South African dramatist Athol Fugard, particularly My Children! My Africa! and "Master Harold"... and the boys.
For an alternative to Amazon UK I’d check out Book Depository! They are based out of Australia but have a lot of UK covers for books, you’d be surprised how much nice they are than American ones sometimes. Oh, and if I remember correctly shipping is free.

Nancy Mitford has been on my list for a while because of you. I love Things Fall Apart. Haven't gotten to the rest of the trilogy yet but I'm excited to. We read The Heart of Darkness in high school and while I think we acknowledged that it was from the point of view of white colonizers, it wasn't that big of a focus. (This was also over a decade ago and I realize the social consciousness has definitely shifted a lot since then.) But I did take a Sub-Saharan African anthropology class in undergrad and we discussed all the topics you brought up with regard to Things Fall Apart then.
I'm new here. I love how you put it: Decolonizing!
Marieke Lucas van Rijneveld is a great contemporary Dutch writer. Harry Mulisch is also a good writer. I think they are both available in English
Love the Mitford collection of books.
now you have to do a video exclusively on nancy mitford's books!
Have you read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi? it's a historical fiction novel about a family that is split in two, one half stays in Ghana and the other is shipped off as slaves to the US. Really interesting and beautiful, but also horrifying.
Omg you are so pretty btw✨💞
I'm 5 seconds in and have only skipped through the comment section and I love this already. Thanks for talking about decolonisation ♥
I'm from Brazil and you NEED to read Machado de Assis. It's amazing!
Latin america has amazing writers like Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquéz, Vargas Llosa, it will worth it (specialy Machado, and I'm not saying this just because I'm brazilian, he was a genius)
@@brunaoliveira4941 as a non brazillian i absolutely agree also Clarice Lispector of course
@@douloureux. yes! Later I remembered that I should've told about Clarice Lispector. Thanks for the reminder and for reading our masterpieces!
You're making me want to try Nancy Mitford!!
Do!!
Hello I'm grateful that you always make me happy. Love you❤️
I look forward to Nancy Mitford merc. You are so good at selling Mitford that I wish I had all those life times ago I had someone as enthusiastic as you. I was lucky however that I had Lorna Sage as my tutor and she was really good on Nathalie Sarraute and Christine Brooke-Rose.
Please read Last Words from Montmartre by Qiu Miaojin! It’s Taiwanese literature translated into so many languages.
This sounds amazing! I just put it on my TBR!
Waaaaaw so much books.
The best part of the video? It's only part 1.
Hey Emma! I freaked out when I snagged Mitford’s Complete Novels at our local charity shop - FOR 4 BUCKS!!! Just finished Pursuit of Love, ugh! Your fault!
Oh that's so good!!! enjoy!!!
Ousmane Sembène is a Senegalese writer. He also is an influential film director. I read his book Xala which was very interesting. I have a copy of his other book God's Bits of Wood still to read.
take a shot every time emma swears in this video :D
also hi emma i did my a level english lit a level coursework on the pursuit of love, so i'm also obsessed.
if we were villains is AMAZING, please make a video about your thoughts on it once you read it!
You look beautiful and I love your passion for reading books.
i loveee the seven husbands of evelyn hugo!!
Were do you fget your rings from? They are so beautiful😍😍 you are very pretty all over tho✨
love it
I only have one Nancy Mitford book, which is a biography on Madame de Pompadour. Yet to read it.
you should look for the english version of "torto arado" by Itamar Vieira Junior, he's a brazilian writer
Luv it
I read things fall apart in high school and hated it?? Idk if I have the teacher to blame or ...? I just remember hating the main character and that the only character I liked died. Maybe I should give it a second chance
If you Like Nancy Mitford, have you read Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons? Also I highly recommend reading The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters, edited by Charlotte Mosley.
I have read Cold Comfort Farm! Gotta say I really really didn’t rate it 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@sarcastic_fish Interesting. I totally thought it would be up your alley
everything about this video wow
Earlllyyyyyyy
Wold you like to make a video divided to a country where you only read books from ? *.* for example: one day reading just African books, or just Russian books
Africa is a continent not a country. 😶
I started reading Murakami books. Great imagination but wow, he should never write another sex scene but thanks for the recommendations.
My book rec for you is by Doireann Ni Ghríofa. It's called A Ghost in the Throat. See you in the movies.
The best smile of the YT.
Decameron!! Hard bo0ok
