Maybe Camus wanted it that way! Too funny. as strange as that sounds, I think you are right. OMG, when you opened it up, I thought of a carnival / circus tent. LOL !
We had to read The Stranger in High School. We had two hours to do that and believe it or not, some were never able to finish this short novel. Moreover, one of my classmate was grimacing. Reading was pure torture for him. You can only imagine the kind of school I was in.
So sorry for yr loss. Thank you for sharing. I understand what yr going through. Wish I could meet you at a coffee shop somewhere, I could give you a hug, a shoulder to cry on and a hot cuppa. But this is the next best thing, I suppose. ❤
My most recently acquired book was the Oxford University Press' edition of War and peace and I got it because of you, I recieved it today and I'm super excited to dive into it 😍
I'm always so happy when I see that you've posted. My most recently acquired book is a really cook version of Rilke's Book of Hours from 1918. Your love of Rilke got me into his writing and I was so exited when I found it
YES! I came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned Labyrinth!!! Like, me and my sis were literally like "That Is Labyrinth!!" LOL. I am sooooo getting the audio book soon.
I got the same copy of The Stranger and quickly decided to unload it on a little free library 😆 thought the book was fantastic though My most recently acquired books were The Name of the Rose and The Turn of the Screw (the latter of which I started a couple days ago and am quite enjoying)
I, honestly, laughed so loud when I saw the size of “The Stranger” book. But, I hope you enjoy reading it since it’s an excellent novel. And the latest book I bought is “Understanding Philip K Dick” which is part of the Understanding Contemporary American Literature series.
20:31 the latest books i got were 'the sun also rises' by hemingway (a '66 edition i randomly found in a used bookstore), 'il fu mattia pascal' (an italian classic), 'kitchen' and 'of mice and men' ! also omg, i have the same edition of 'the stranger' and i bought it on amazon too !! thankfully mine is a normal size tho 😭 hope you like it, i personally loved it
My most recently acquired books are some beautiful, old, thrifted German editions of `Letters to a Young Poet´ and `Collected Poems´ both by Rilke. You got me so excited to read them soon☺🥰
Omg I hope you love Wintersong!!! It was one of my absolute favorite books back when it first came out 🥰 I hadn't read very many "strange" books at the time, and it is one of the books that sent me on my strange book journey lol
My last purchase was Kairos by Erpenbek, a tale of time being by ruth ozeki, old man and the sea, farther away by franzen and two books of amin maalouf. It is always a pleasure to listen to your talking about books.❤
my most recent book buys were billy summers by stephen king and the first 2 hunter x hunter books. i also really wanted to say that i love how much you adore the snow. i love the winter and everything about it, but i live in louisiana so i’ve never seen real snow. seeing how much you love it though has made me want to buy as many books about snow and ice as humanly possible and learn as much as i can. i am also quite envious of your canadian winters as the winters down south are slightly cooler than summers and still equally as humid. sweater weather does not exist and the heat is agonizing.
I just thrifted Watership Down and A Dowry of Blood and I'm so looking toward your opinion of Klara and the Sun since it's a book that had me really conflicted on it's rating lol
I've wanted to read Juliet Marillier for such a long time and Dreamer's pool sounds so good! Also this video came at a dangerous time for me because I'm going to a book fair in my city later today and ive already gotten too many books recently 😂 and this is making me very inspired to get more books 📚 ✨️
@@Harmosaurus 🥰 I hope you love it! It was so surprising to me how much it moved me. Probably my biggest surprise of the year for when I do the mid-year freak out vid
You might have done this already but I'd love a video about your favorite books based on the seasons! I don't know many winter books and you seem very passionate about them so I bet you'd have great recommendations! Also, my most recently acquired book is The World We Make by N. K. Jemisin.
I'm not sure people know this but Tailchaser's Song is Tad William's debut novel. William is the author of The Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy and one of the pioneers of modern epic fantasy. He is highly underappreciated and I hope you read more of his works.
Most of my books are thrifted like this Monday I brought 6 for £1.50. I’ve read two this week already (never let me go and Brideshead revisited). The quality’s really good, most of them seem like they’ve not even been read before
You always make me want to buy more books. (My bookshelf is slightly panicking as it hears this.) My most recent book purchase is A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara which will probably break me. 😅
I had no idea The Stranger came in magazine size. Crazy......... 😂. I will be waiting for your opinion of Tailchaser's Song. I'm currently reading the Dragonbone Chair by the same author. Ice has been on my radar for awhile. I really enjoyed Klara and the Sun. My most recently acquired book is The Cradle of Ice by James Rollins - even though I haven't read the first book yet 🙃. Thanks for sharing, Emma!
Most recently acquired book is Family Business by Jonathan Sims, bought in a kindle sale and going onto my autumn/horror tbr. My most recent physical book purchase was actually One Hundred Years of Solitude, I found it in a charity shop for £1.99 and had to buy it because you've talked about it so much! Planning on reading it this month 😊
I adore Victorian writers. Wilkie Collins is a must and I managed to buy nearly all of his books...pity some are hard to find,but find them I will🙂 Needless to say, I have read all of the novels by Dickens; Jane Austen; the Bronte sisters; Elizabeth Haskell and the Russian writers: Dostovsky, Pushkin, Chekhov ,Turgenev....will read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina BUT not War and Peace. Oh dear, so sorry with my loves.....however, there are so many that my TBR makes me wonder if I can read over 300 pages a day 😂; somehow so very much doubt it. Regards.
My stranger book is the baby version of yours but same cover. That crack me up. I end up reading Camus in the middle of getting emotionally involved with Dostoevsky’s writing style, thinking maybe it will be a good break from all the Karamazovs but man Meursault was something else. After finishing the Stranger (sorry Dostoevsky, almost done with it) I had to get Camu’s A Happy Death. Pretty stoked about it.
i really recommend kenny's bookshop from ireland if you are a widow/er of book depository. they have new and used books very cheap. i have bought 5 books already and everything is great.
That edition of The Stranger is the size of a children's picture book! The last three books I bought were The Lincoln House by Nancy Horan, To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose, and one inspired by you was A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man & Dubliners by James Joyce. I already have Ulysses and have attempted to read it, but maybe I need to start with something less challenging.
My most recently acquired book is Beauty is a wound! Which I bought because of your video!! I absolutely enjoyed the video, Emmie! I was wondering, since you love books about cats, if you’ve ever heard the book series Warriors and if you would read them haha they look kinda funny and there are a lot of books on the series but I think it could be fun for you to give it a try just for fun. Also I love every recommendation you give us about ice, snow and winter! That’s one of my favorite book topics too! ❤❤
Since you like the big Folger editions Amazon thought you’d like the giant Camus. 😂 I’m actually digging it. I think it would look great on my coffee table. 😅
Would love to hear your thoughts about Klara and The Sun. It didn't have that much impact on me but for some reason, it's one of my fave books. The feels it gave when I read it was something
as a former manga collectioner I would just give u an advice to maybe only buy like one series at a time and really figure out what u want to read next, bcs mangas tend to cost a lot and u can get overwhelmed by how many there are and start too many series that u wont be able to complete. And maybe before starting a new series look at how many books there will be out in whole. And sorry for my bad english lol I am from Berlin
the most recent book I bought is Demon Copperhead. I got it specifically to read after I'm done reading David Copperfield. I have about 70 pages left!!
Since you were saying how much you enjoyed rereading Hamlet, I have to ask if you've seen or read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead? I haven't seen the play, but it's one of my favourite movies- which is filmed very like a play. It's very much in the same vein as Waiting for Godot by Beckett, but Hamlet.
Hi Emma! Super happy to see a new video today and I immediately bought the legend and lattes. I just finished The Magician by Colm Toibin and i highly recommend it
I cannot believe that copy of the Stranger 😂 At first I thought it may have been a large print edition but it doesn’t seem like it is. The most recent books I bought were manga. I’ve been collecting the Fullmetal editions of Fullmetal Alchemist and just bought volumes 5 and 6.
I don’t see the point in reading Camus in English tbh but if you still remember any French I recommend the song Belzébuth by Les Colocs. It’s about a cat who becomes a stray and then gets into trouble.
dreamers pool i soo expensive on amazon :( at least in my country... i really want to read this book but i have o idea where to search for it.. also, i think you will enjoy klara and the sun, it was very delicate and sweet ad,it could be cruel and harsh, it talkde about love, faily and the idea of identity
my most recently acquired book is this random arc i found in one of those little free libraries called Toil and Trouble by Augusten Burroughs. supposedly about witches and stuff so sounds fun!
Cool books emma! My cramp dad just got me some Flannery o'connor, and, orhan pamuk too, i never heard of, looks intreging- idk why,. 😓 i cant wait for the stranger video.. theres just nothing like the beginning of that book! But Cèline takes the cake over camus, i think anywey! 😖
omg the huge copy of the stranger hahahha! my most recently acquired book is the idiot by dostoevsky, which i'll be buddy reading with a friend soon! so excited!!
I just went to my local Oxfam books and bought The Prophet by Gibran - I had limited myself to 1 book when I went in, but then I saw 2 Ishiguro books and bought both… (nocturnes and a pale view of hills)
I want you to read Tailchaser’s Song because I had it and read it as a kid (probably 20+ years ago now, as a preteen) and now I don’t remember anything about it. I also picked it up at a secondhand book store in my hometown in N California.
My most recently acquired book is Y/N by Ester Yi; it's a literary fiction novel about a woman who is a huge fan of a k-pop idol whose obsession turns quite terrifying when that idol retires from the public eye. Supposedly it's in the vein of Melissa Broader, Otessa Moshfegh and Mona Awad, three fiction players I particularly enjoy!
I am always so proud when I find a good thrifted book.. like fate played its part ☺ some great pick ups in this one! love & appreciate your videos, emmie 💞
I had the same experience with the Legends & Lattes audiobook. Interesting to hear that you are enjoying the physical book though - maybe I will pick that up instead!
Hey Emma! There’s a poetry collection called “Meltwater” that’s all about glaciers and global warming that maybe you’d like? I think it’s published by Milkweed Editions but I don’t quite remember
Postmodernism or the cultural logical of late capitalism is great! I read bits and pieces for my law seminar paper. I’m obsessed with postmodernism and its indefinability. I’m esp interested in its relation to reality and identity. Most recently acquired books are: I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities by Chen Chen and Life of the Party by Olivia Gatwood!
Hi! I was wondering if you could speak more in your next video about Murakami's works - I've read some of these as standalone novels already, but am unsure what the best order to read these is. I've finished IQ84, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, but then started on Dance, Dance, Dance! without realizing it was actually a sequel to Wild Sheep Chase (which I hear is also good). What order would you recommend for reading these? In exchange, I have a book req (or reqs, rather) for you. Anything by Ursula K. LeGuin is great, but one book in particular I loved was The Dispossessed. I've found all of her books to be excellently written with vivid prose, but this is one you won't want to put down until it's finished. Cheers!
I just got a weird one for me. It's called The Wager. Non-fiction 1700andsomething shipwreck, castaway and mutiny story. About a mission gone awry. It's insanely entertaining. The anecdotes about Herman Melville are fascinating too and it's super interesting how snipets of his experience are mentioned throughout
I cracked up when I saw the ridiculous size of The Stranger's edition 😂 the book is so good though, I hope you'll enjoy it!
Maybe Camus wanted it that way! Too funny. as strange as that sounds, I think you are right.
OMG, when you opened it up, I thought of a carnival / circus tent. LOL !
how is it so big 😂😂
Classic book in magazine style. 😆 😂
I kind of love it honestly! I wouldn’t even mind taking it out of the house 😂
We had to read The Stranger in High School. We had two hours to do that and believe it or not, some were never able to finish this short novel. Moreover, one of my classmate was grimacing.
Reading was pure torture for him. You can only imagine the kind of school I was in.
That edition of The Stranger is as big as my hopes of coffee solving all of my problems.
Enjoy the books Emma, they sound delightful!
If I could give you an award for how relatable and clever this comment is, I would. An emoji is the best I can do though. Bravo! 🏆
I’m so happy you posted today. Yesterday was so rough for me. I found out a friend of mine died and this is the perfect distraction. Thank you Emma ❤
i know it dosen't mean much but sorry for your loss..
My condolences 🙏
I hope you can find some enjoyable, mind- numbing distractions ❤
Sorry for your loss.
sorry for your loss
So sorry for yr loss. Thank you for sharing. I understand what yr going through. Wish I could meet you at a coffee shop somewhere, I could give you a hug, a shoulder to cry on and a hot cuppa. But this is the next best thing, I suppose. ❤
i love your videos for sooo long! the vibess are always immaculate. love from philippines 📚🖤
The Encyclopedia of Fairies should be read in Winter. I read it a couple of weeks ago and I wish I knew it was a winter book.
thanks cuz I also got it and want to read it but when the season is right!
Same here, thanks for sharing
lost it when she held up the copy of the stranger. i was genuinely laughing the whole time she was holding it hahahahahah
The way I burst into laughter when I saw you hold up The Stranger!
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia is definitely more of a winter book.
crying at how huge your copy of the stranger is.
the last book i bought was infinite jest ❤
Yes to going book shopping in the summer despite having so many unread books on my shelf 😭🙏
Me too!
You forgot one thing despite being broke we're still going to book shopping this summer 😭😭

Needed this joy today! Thanks, Emma! My most recently acquired book was "The Dark Wind" by Tony Hillerman. Happy early birthday, Emma!
omg early and just wanna let you know that I read grendel because of you and that book basically changed me, ily and I love your taste
I'm always so happy when I see that you've posted. My most recently acquired book is a really cook version of Rilke's Book of Hours from 1918. Your love of Rilke got me into his writing and I was so exited when I found it
Wintersong is also a retelling of the film The Labyrinth. And Emily Wilde is a wintry read. Hope you enjoy both!
YES! I came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned Labyrinth!!! Like, me and my sis were literally like "That Is Labyrinth!!" LOL. I am sooooo getting the audio book soon.
i spilled my coffee the moment you show the copy of the stranger🤣🤣
whenever crappy things happen in life i can always count on emmie picking me up

My most recently acquired books are some beautiful, old, thrifted German editions of `Letters to a Young Poet´ and `Collected Poems´ both by Rilke. You got me so excited to read them soon☺🥰
Emma, i fell in love with "Tailchaser's song"! Cutest cover! Love Juliet Marilier too! The thrifted books look all amazing! 💖📚
At least your copy of The Stranger had words. I ordered a copy of In Cold Blood and they sent me a notebook with In Cold Blood written on the front😕
I'm reading Klara and the Sun. I'm really enjoying it. I don't know much about the story yet... but the pace is amazing.
Is Tailchaser's Song the orpheus myth but cats? IS IT THE ORPHEUS MYTH BUT CATS? Truly incredible!
Omg I hope you love Wintersong!!! It was one of my absolute favorite books back when it first came out 🥰 I hadn't read very many "strange" books at the time, and it is one of the books that sent me on my strange book journey lol

A thesis possibility for a snow-centered work is James Joyce’s “The Dead”- Best of luck with your writing!
The size of the book is amazing😂 That gave me a much-needed laughter today
that copy of The Stranger is ABSURD
Since you were saying how much you enjoyed rereading Hamlet, I have to ask if you've seen or read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead?

What a beautiful copy of Tailchaser's Song! I've actually got a second-hand copy of this book on order at the moment
most recently bought a beautiful edition of the brothers grimm's complete fairy tales. it has gilded edges and it's just stunning. very happy.
That Stranger edition looks like self published. Measure For Measure is fantastic!
I actually just bought Winter In Sokcho because I´ve been wanting to read it for so long and then your review was also so good so...

Me eyeing that huge Camus edition 👀
I got a copy of Harry Harrison's deathworld recently and it was equally huge as your Camus!
why do i kinda want that edition of the stranger just cause 😂
Hi! I was wondering if you could speak more in your next video about Murakami's works - I've read some of these as standalone novels already, but am unsure what the best order to read these is. I've finished IQ84, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, but then started on Dance, Dance, Dance! without realizing it was actually a sequel to Wild Sheep Chase (which I hear is also good). What order would you recommend for reading these?
In exchange, I have a book req (or reqs, rather) for you. Anything by Ursula K. LeGuin is great, but one book in particular I loved was The Dispossessed. I've found all of her books to be excellently written with vivid prose, but this is one you won't want to put down until it's finished. Cheers!
the stranger copy omg it's huge 😭😭 camus would love it tho
oof, i’m jealous of your paperback copy of Legends & Lattes!!!
That copy of The Stranger is so funny 😂
I just got a weird one for me. It's called The Wager. Non-fiction 1700andsomething shipwreck, castaway and mutiny story. About a mission gone awry. It's insanely entertaining. The anecdotes about Herman Melville are fascinating too and it's super interesting how snipets of his experience are mentioned throughout
Ugh as I've posted I can see my child has changed my name and picture on yt. Awesome..
