@@emmiereads this made my day, hello emmie! hope you're doing well, your mental health is well and uni is amazing! be kind to yourself, you're amazing! 😚 and still super proud of you, will check your new video very soon!
It is weird. I don't really know you, but I genuinely feel happy for you. I can't imagine how exciting it must be to write a foreword for your favourite book. Congratulations!
We old subscribers know how momentous this occasion is. So proud and happy for you! 🎭 🥰 I never got to read it, but last year I watched the entire musical when it was uploaded on youtube by the legitimate theatre company. It was breathtaking, made me cry.
Who would’ve thought that when little 3rd grade Emma picked up Phantom of the Opera that she would author a foreword for that very book as an adult 💕💕 dreams do come true ✨
As a long time watcher, I remember vividly how ecstatic you get everytime you talk about phantom of the opera, so you can just imagine how excited i got when i read the title of this vid 😭 SO HAPPY FOR YOU QUEEN 🥺❤️
@@yipyip3173 Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the Phantom of the Opera musical, as well as the sequel Love Never Dies. from what i understand, the book and the musical are… different, let’s say
Congratulations, Emma. Always knew from when I first began watching your videos that you'd be a writer whose work is valued. Wonderful that it's begun for you already. Brava. We your fans are all proud of you and happy for you.
I open RUclips during my lunch break today and saw the title of this video. You won't believe how happy and proud I felt! It feels like my daughter's accomplishment. This is an incredible opportunity for you. Enjoy it and hopefully it is the first of many great things to come.
Proud of you Emma. And I'm sure Augmented Classic Phantom of the Opera won't be the last book with your foreword 🤞So excited to see what's the next book for you to write its foreword or even you will write for your own book 😳
congratulations emma!!!! as a subscriber whos been here for some time now i know how much you love phantom of the opera. SO DESERVED!!! you're so talented
Congratulations Emma, you have hit a huge milestone. Listening to fractions of your introduction made me really nostalgic about the time when I read this book eons ago.
This is such an amazing and special thing Emma!! You've always known of your love of the book, and getting to write the foreword for one of your favorite books is such an honorable thing! Congratulations 💕 can't wait to get my hands on the copy!!
I've been wanting to read this book this year, so I'm excited to get this addition with your foreword! Congrats! Also thank you for not giving spoilers in the foreword, I hate that too!
You are a gifted writer Emma.The sound of heaven will be silently reading this beautiful foreword.And who knows,I may even like the book?Thank you so much!❤️
I loved your writing, Em! The composition of ideas and the flow of the text sounded great -- I got a lot of meaning out of it and it actually made me want to get to the novel and find out what my experience of it would be. So happy for you
as a long time follower and fan (of both you and phantom) this is such a momentous happening! I’m screaming- I’m so happy for and proud of you! Love you and congratulations!! ❤️✨
Your love of Phantom of the Opera, and the other gothic classics, is so inspiring - I have brought 4 of them through Augmented Classics. Living down under in NZ means a) shipping was ridiculous, and b) I won't get them for ages, but I just couldn't resist after seeing this video! Excited to be reading these gothic classics very soon!!
Congratulations, Emma ❤️! A small part of your dream came true with this project❤️. I would love watching more writing vlogs from you . They are so soothing and it's great hearing your thoughts.
As a fellow lover of books, reading and writing, who also has post-concussion syndrome, I understand. I know this was posted a while back, but I tuned in because I just finished my first read of Phantom of the Opera and wanted to hear what you had to say. Best wishes 💜
I'm really, really happy for you, Emma! I am halfway through your vlog, at 20 minute-ish mark, precisely, but I can't resist to comment. I'm so proud of what you have achieved - writing is not an easy feat! You are the most eloquent person (regarding books, particularly) I have ever come across, with extensive vocabulary and crystal clear speech. I am sure that it will be displayed through your writing as well. I''m preparing for graduate school application and will sit for two examinations next month (October) so once I am done with all the hectic grad school stuff I'm going to pick a copy of Phantom of the Opera. I hope that the panini (you know what it actually is) will lessen so I can easily place an international order again, and buy the one with your foreword! I have never read or seen Phantom of the Opera but I love opera performances pertaining to the story. I also went to Paris once and saw the majestic Opéra Garnier myself. I always thought "breath-taking" sounds a little bit excessive, but I cannot find any other word to describe how beautiful and hypnotizing the building is. I am obsessed with so many things related to Phantom of the Opera! I am sure that I will be enamored with the actual story that has inspired those majestic artworks and performances. Thank you so much for introducing us non-lit students to so many amazing books, including Phantom of the Opera!! Much love, French Toast 😇
C'est tres cool! Felicitations, Emma. A great way to start the day, seeing your joy. I *love* that part when you're in your room, you look at the camera, and the Phantom music starts. That deadpan expression is priceless.
OMG Emma!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE 🥺🤯 CONGRATULATIONS ❣️ I’ve been wanting to get Phantom of the Opera for a while and now that you’re in this edition I’m definitely going to get this one!!! 🥳
Emmie! My copy of Phantom is being delivered tomorrow. You have inspired me to read it so when I watched this video, I knew this was the edition I wanted to start with. Can’t wait to read your words! Keep being awesome :)
I have been following your channel in silence for a while, but today I have to and want to congratulate you with all my heart.💝🍾 P.S. I absolutely adore your channel. Keep the great work.
So ridiculously excited, proud and happy for you! 🥺 You go Emma, that was an absolute delight! I can only imagine how intimidating that must have been for you, but you did it!!! 👏👏👏 Aaaaah man, what a moment
i'm currently reading Phantom of the Opera! Not sure what I think about it so far, but thank you for uploading today as i've kinda been feeling a little down and your voice is really soothing!🖤.....Also, congratulations!!✨
From what you read of your forward, I just want to say that everything you said/wrote has definitely made me rather curious, and I now officially want to read 'The Phantom of the Opera". Also congratulations son this incredible opportunity!
@@emmiereads hi I wanted to return to this comment to tell you after about 2 ish years of mulling it over I finally started a booktube channel, you've inspired me a lot and I'm planning on reading phantom of the opera in my next vlog💚
I've never actually read the book but I have seen the musical and the movie multiple times and I do really love the story, I've just been so intimidated by the book bc I've had a love-hate relationship with classics as well as French literature, but I think you've convinced me to try it out!
This play/book has my heart. First time i watched it it felt amazing and hearing about it made my soul feel so happy. Just something inside of me just felt so happy. So im so happy for you.
Oh my gosh Emma this is fantastic!!! I’m so happy for you!! Also I can 100% relate to the summoning circle; it’s a must need when it comes to studying/writing. Edit: Your forward is soo good!!! Great work Emma!
I really like the way the music weaves through the vlogs! You do such a good job with that Emma! Also love your animal footage as always. That squirrel in the pot lol.
Oh my god this is amazing I cannot wait to have this and read your words. ❤️ all the passion makes me feel so emotional right there with you. Congratulations
congratulations on reaching this goal. i hope you continue receiving such opportunities, hope you continue to explore your writing and everything that made you oh so happy and giddy
No way! I was just about to start rereading Phantom of the Opera as apart of my fall reading! Congratulations to you! It will be a pleasure to own a copy of your work ❤️ (and a pleasure to now own a second edition... It is my favorite musical of all time!)
well that the easiest money i have ever spent , keep up the great work and hope uni is going well ,and so happy you got to be part of a phantom project.
I’m so happy for you that one of your dreams came true🥰 I’m a huge fan of yours and love all your videos! You have such a calming voice that helps tremendously with my anxiety💕 I have ordered the augmented phantom of the opera book now and can’t wait to get it all the way to Norway and read your introduction🤩 It’s been a lot of fun following and taking part in both of your reading bookclubs with your friends🥳 Looking forward to even more cozy and fantastic videoes from you🙌❤️
"WHEN U AND THE SEMICOLON HAVE AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS" THAT MADE ME LAUGHHH. every time i write the semicolon just always starts an argument with me smh
Holy crêpe! Congratulations! That's fantastic. I want to read the rest of your foreword because what you read to us sounded *chef's kiss* phenomenal, and makes me want to read the book even more.
Okay Emma this is AMAZING. It's also my dream to write a forward for a book, specifically The Old Man and the Sea. It's my favorite novel and my interpretation isn't one I see too often.
I am so happy to watch you dive into this novel. It’s my favorite everything- book, musical, movie, the works! I love this story so much. Thanks for getting more eyes on it, and Congratulations!
OMG IM SO PROUD!!!!!! I literally started crying when you did jdjdjjddj sososososo happy for you Emma! I can't wait to hold your own book in my hands one day
Congratulations, Emma. 💚 You should read The Wish Collector by Mia Sheridan. It's The Phantom of the Opera retelling of sorts. You might finally get to enjoy a contemporary romance. Hope you give it a shot. 💚
congratulations emma ! i’m so proud of you ! you have no idea really how proud i’m! you’re such an inspiration and you deserve every good in the world! I love you keep it up girl ❤️✨
Congratulations on writing your first intro. I am waiting for this book to come in the mail. I have and loved the movie but have never read the book. One of my favorite opera and now looking forward to the book. Again congratulations and thank you for all you do.
So absolutely thrilled for you Emma, and so proud!!! Congratulations!!!!!! I adore the parts you read! I could hear your voice!! It was perfect!! You did a fantastic job!! I’m ordering a copy but I want you to sign it pleeeeease!! And the postcard was in this video!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Oh my dear Emma! Congratulations, what an exciting achievement and such a perfect project for you to have gotten the opportunity to be involved in! I am so eager to read your forward! I haven't read Phantom of the Opera yet, but you make me want to read it more than ever. Yes, writing is so wonderful and fulfilling! Writing my dissertation right now, and it's painful some days but also so exciting!
Ah thank you Joy! That’s amazing I hope whenever you pick it up you love it, and oh my gosh that’s so exciting I hope you’re having the best time with it!💕
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m so so happy for you, I can’t even imagine how exciting this was to do especially for a book that is so close to the heart! Hope you have a great day/evening/night and again, congrats! ❤️
Congrats!!!! This is so exciting and I loved seeing the journey of writing it. Just ordered a copy! I've never read phantom before, just seen the movie so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes 🌞
I AM A PROUD MOTHER! Been listening to you for awhile now, and the excerpt of your foreword is so so beautiful........... DUDE YOU SHOULD WRITE A BOOK!
I actually reread the Phantom of the Opera because of how enthusiastically you talked about all of the elements you enjoyed, and reading it I had a lot of those elements in the back of my mind--the idea of the Palais Garnier as almost a character in itself, the detective novel/mystery elements and how that played into the gothic romance of the book, how the Opera House represented the past and the present and the intermingling of these two. Your own thoughts on the novel really helped me understand it in a deeper way, and I think your foreward will be so interesting to read!
I am feeling very emotional right now. I am so happy for you, Emma!! 💞 I actually have just finished reading Phantom of the Opera a few days ago, and it was because of yooouu!
Congratulations! I know exactly what you mean about finally/formally writing about something that you've talked about for a long time. In my case it was a book about movies that was published earlier this year. I felt a lot of pressure to really dig through and coalesce my thoughts about a particular piece, and a huge sense of accomplishment once it was completed (after many drafts).
I discovered your channel through your video on annotating Phantom of the Opera so I’m ever so happy for you! I love the book too and I would give anything for the opportunity you got!
Omg Emma! Congratulations! This is amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I cannot wait to read your entire piece! I first read Phantom when I was 13 or 14 and totally agree it is a complex masterpiece with so many themes to unpack and such perfect gothic vibes!
Totally agree with you on the length of the foreword! It actually happened to me with another classic where I felt dispirited and stopped somewhere in the foreword never getting to the actual book. Since then I actually skip them unless I know the book and am happy to reread it. Also- Congratulations !!!!!
In the cart it goes! I cannot wait to read my copy that contains your forward- literally I am SO proud of you! I feel like an older sister, I want to show it to everyone and brag about it 😊
i feel like a mom from the other side of the world but as an internet follower, i'm so proud of you 💕 CONGRATULATIONS
ME TOO!!!! I’m crying

That is so sweet thank you so much!!🥰
Emmie: "I just submitted my forward to the publishing people..."
Me: I just purchased the book and now I'm waiting by my PO Box.
This is why we annotate!!! Cause there could be a chance we receive the honor to write an introduction of our favorite book !!!!
