That annotating was so sweet. Someone maybe doing it for the first time or just enjoying the book. I hope they went on to enjoy many more books the same way
Indeed!
Big YES for a dedicated video for 1q84
I hope little Luke is still enjoying annotating to this day! It takes a lot of courage to mark a book with your own musings. Fair play to him for beginning the endeavour!
Webster the Spider! That's my vote for his name since it's a dictionary to go with the bookshelf and has web in it to go with the spider. It's goofy 😂
In relation to what you said about the Murakami book, can I suggest that you start a series about specific authors that you enjoy, the books you love the best,why you love them and their writings...
LOVED "As long as the lemon trees grow"
Those annotations were not giving me little boy, but rather very old man. I love my grandma dearly, she is my favorite person and I love to hear about what she reads, but she is 87 and this is exactly her brand of commentary 😭
For me it was giving teenage boy who had assigned reading for a class lol
maybe they had a quota of annotations for hw
@@hm7747 A lot of people also with the likes of ADHD are known to have messy handwriting! He could be any age.
1Q84 is a trip! I think it needs a full blog.
yes! I have 100 pages left and I love it so much
theme song of this video should be "What's This" from the Nightmare before Christmas lol
in the presence of absence by Mahmoud Darwish! Very excited to hear about your experience 🇵🇸🍉:]
I've randomly read Steppenwolf this year, and the whole experiment felt like a transformation. So many beautiful expressions, so many thoughts, a definite five star. Very excited to hear your thoughts!
It's amazing that the pink marker on the counter survived a visit by two cats without taking a dive.
What a great pre-birthday gift to yourself! I know July will be a 5 star month and hope that I find some recommendations to read along the way.❤
I just opened RUclips after studying the whole day, and the joy I felt (and feel) at seeing your new video is unreal
:’) hope it’s a bit of rest and break for you!
"$2000 is a lot of money" 😂😂😂 the way I died 😆. Also happy birthday! 🎂
Yes to the 1Q84 separate vlog!
On the theme of hotels I recommend the book The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden. Its about some siblings who end up spending a summer at a French Hotel alone because their mother gets sick as soon as they arrive. It was written in the 1950s so it feels like it should be middle grade or young adult fiction because of the age of the protagonists but is oddly not quite that.
after i saw how much and how passionately you raved about the count of monte cristo, i have finally purchased it!!! i made sure to look for the robin buss translation, like you said. it sounds relight up my alley, so thank you emma !!
1Q84 is such an easy read, it's his best work in my opinion :)
Another hotel novel recommendation; "Hotel 21" by Senta Rich. This novel is not groundbreaking, or beautifully written, but just a fun time. A popcorn read, that might be too much on the nose with its messages. But it is set in multiple hotels. Sometimes all you want is just an easy, fast-paced book.
"Noelle is an efficient and friendly hotel cleaner, a model employee. Or so she'd have you think. The trouble is that she can't help taking a little 'souvenir' as she cleans. Nothing of value, just tokens of happy, normal lives: a lipstick, a hair clip, some tweezers. And by the time the guest has noticed, she's long gone.
As she starts at her 21st hotel, she's determined to beat her record of one month in a five star hotel before suspicion falls on her. But when she meets her new colleagues, her plans are complicated. These women aren't just hands pushing carts down lonely hotel corridors: they are women with lives full of happiness and worry, pain and joy. The kind of lives Noelle has never known how to live. They make her wonder what it might be like to have real friends, people to stick around for."
I have a family member, female age 23, who loves tarantulas, exotic spiders, scorpions, and has too many to count living in terrariums in her home. Also 2 cats, a bearded dragon, and a 12 foot boa constrictor. I love that she loves these creatures. I'm really more of a dog person.
Rebecca is soooo good❤
Your book collection looks tense and dangerous and I love it
omg you just unlocked a memory with eva ibbotson!! i remember loving her books when i was younger- i think i read 'the dragonfly pool' and other books years ago??... i think youll love the one youve got!!
So glad that you’re planning so many rereads for July, i’m also revisiting some of my favorite series and giving second chances to some books!!
1Q84 feels like a stepping stone in my journey through literature, having read and enjoyed many of Murakami's books, none of them prepared me for the beauty of this immense novel.
Having a month dedicated to 5 star predictions is such a lovely idea. I hope you have a great birthday month😊
Just finished Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.Soooooo good!
I'm really looking forward to reading Steppenwolf this month, as I (not so secretly) hoped it would win the poll too :) Hope you have the best reading month Emma!
1Q84 IS AMAAAZING
Absolutely we want an 1q84 vlog not even a question
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! I need and app where I just stand back and take pictures of all my shelves and then AI reads the spines and catalogs them for me.
Watching you always makes me wish i could read faster and or just devote my every waking moment to books. As for 1Q84 please do a full on video. Of course ill need to read it before then...but thats what the rest of July and August are for. Also happy birthday...or birthday month!
Lost so many and Getting read to serve an indefinite amount of of time, your videos keep me sane. Thank you 🫰🏼
Picked up a copy of wuthering heights and someone had annotated with colored highlighter just about every single letter in some color in only the first 5 pages of the introduction and not once after 😭😭
Best bookshelf video EVER 🙌🏼
Happy birthday month Emma I wish you a wonderful month
and also a happy belated Canada day too
I loved Eva Ibbotson’s novels growing up, both her middle grade and her adult novels. I haven’t read A Company of Swans since I was about 16, and I have no idea how I would feel about it now! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Loved the video as always ❤
Hi, emmie! May july be a great month for you (and happy birthday 🎉). I bought a copy of cloud atlas because of the video you made last month and i'm so excited to read it! My tbr is brimming and delightful because of you.
You should know that the dream thieves is set in the summer and has such a sticky hot summer vibe if you want to continue with the series soon!
Finally, someone else who hates their summer birthday! I was born in June, and heat and I do NOT get along. I wish I was born in the autumn, honestly. Hope that you have an amazing reading month, all these books sound so good! I also need to do something like this because working on my thesis has been making reading hard and I have nine books I've been trying to finish for months.
SAME!! Always hated my summer birthday. Good luck on your thesis
@@QuestionsIAskMyself Thank you 😭 I'm dying from both the work and the heat and need all the encouragement I can get
Yes!!!! A vlog just for 1Q84❤
Yess please I would love a full vlog on 1Q84 by Murakami 🤩✨
Oh my gosh, Hotel World! As a fellow lover of hotel literature, I think you will love that book. I read it during a very emotionally turbulent time in 2022 and there were a few lines that stole my breath away and genuinely felt healing. I hope you love it
Ahhhh amazing to hear, cannot wait🥹🥰
Ali Smith is the best
Ibbotson was a huge childhood favorite of mine! Her children’s books especially are so magical! I don’t remember much about A Company of Swans but I remember loving it as a teen
I didn't know she had written middlegrade! I read the morning gift, a company of swans, the secret countess and another one (don't remember the title) and it was such sweet cute innocent romance, truly YA, not like what's labeled YA today 😊
@@bujobyfilo Yes, she wrote many! The Secret of Platform 13 was one of my favorites - very young Harry Potteresque but written earlier
I only know Eva Ibbotson from her children's book. I did a book presentation in school about The Beasts of Clawstone Castle. Her books were quite popular in Germany it seems. Or just my mother liked them, who knows haha
Happy Birthday, Emma!
I hope you have a tremendous reading month.
And by the way, you deserve ALL the good things! 🎉🎉💕💕 🎈🎈🎂
1Q84 was my first Murakami and I loved it so much! Still one of my fav reads ever
please please please please do a whole vlog on 1Q84 it’s one of my favorite books of all time
1Q84 is soooo good! If anyone struggles with reading it I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook (english version). It's excellent!
Omg july is my birth month too and i love making this month magical for myself so much🍀🪄✨
whole vlog for 1q84 plsss!!!
emma! I've read most of murakami and 1q84 is my favourite along with dance dance dance. I think you will love it
My birthday is also July 24th (and it's the same as yours if I'm not mistaken...?), and I saw some comments saying their birthday is also July so happy birthday to all of us, summer girlies🎉🥰
Since I started watching your videos I've been sooo excited for you to read 1Q84!!
You should pick up Hotel Silence by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir. The author is Icelandic and it’s set at a somewhat dilapidated hotel. The hotel really features in the book and I love Ólafsdóttir’s work.
I'm about to start reading the picture of dorian gray, so excited
It was such a nice surprise to see you with an Eva Ibbotson! My mum once read Journey to the River Sea to us over a hot Easter when i was really young, later I read 4 of her other books including a company of swans and loved them. I recently found my old copies and was planning on reading her again. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I absolutely thought Steppenwolf was going to win for World Tour too! I’m tempted to join you and add it to my TBR for this month anyways too 😊 as always, love the casual, TBR chat videos!
7:02 ooh ,The Birds, would love a review
Hi Emmie, happy birthday month! I read Winterhouse, by Ben Guterson this winter. It's a middle-grade which happens in winter, in a hotel, and the main character investigates to discover the hotel and... her past. I think it clicks all your boxes! It's funny and there's a cute friendship between the main characters! Perfect if you feel down this december. In the meantime, have a fun summer!
Happy Birthday Month, Emma! 😂 🍰 🎈 🎈 🎊
Thank you!!!!😊😊😊
Return of the King has a great structure: You know that Sauron will fall but you cannot guess what the effect will be on Sam and Frodo nor which heroes will survive. Then when you discover the answer to those questions (What will happen? What must happen?) you realize there is still quite a lot left to read! Personally, I very much liked the Sharkey story, even if it does seem somewhat contrived and twisted. A good twist is very hard to foresee but after it's revealed you think 'O yeah, that makes sense.' Thanks Emma, enjoyed - happy birthday.
Happy birthday month to you and me! 💖 Love the idea of reading only books that I have high hopes for as a present to myself, will do this from now on xxx
I remember enjoying all Eva Ibbotson's books many years ago. They're cute innocent YA romances.
Happy Birthday/Reading month Emma! July is also my birthday month and every video from you is like a treat for me.
Im almost done with 1q84 and I am so excited to see how you perceive it!
pleaseeee do a separate vlog for 1Q84!!!!
Solaris is a wonderful read
Yes for the 1q84 vlog!!!!
Your videos are literally the highlight of my day❤️ you are so amazing and wonderful I sincerely wish you the best🤩🤩🤩
Happy birthday! 🥳 Oh and what a great idea, I will do the same with my tbr for my birthday month!
Yess highly recommend!!❤
I personally thought steppenwolf was a little underwhelming, but maybe it was just the wrong book at the wrong time for me… however, I would highly recommend Narziß und Goldmund from Hesse!! Absolute babe of a book
1Q84 will be my first Murakami and I am sweating (I haven't finished either of last month's book club picks yet so I'm probably doomed but that's ok lol)
Happy Birthday Dear Emma!! The best of everything to you. !!🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Was that a "Välkommen" I heard at the start? 😂That's a lot of cool reading you have for the month. As for my TBR I'm probably finishing House of Leaves pretty soon and after that I'm going to start Solaris for the first time. So excited to finally be reading it!
And happy birthday month! 🥳
Always thrilled to see an Emma video. Happy Birthday Month, Dear Emma! You deserve all the good things! :-)
Happy birthday! My birthday is also in July and I'm so excited to read 1Q84 for my birthday 🥰 hoping it will be a 5 star for sure
You should absolutely read Ubik, I loved Solaris and I really like Philip Dick's works, I think Ubik is the best one for me ❤
great video, Emma! Happy birth month! Have a good one!
Also, I had to stop the video multiple times because I keep thinking it's my cats that are meowing and since they usually don't meow a lot I was super confused(and concerned a bit) because I never caught them meowing but I kept hearing it
p.s cant wait to hear an opinion on 1q84 :)
Two things 1) the cats are catting in the background, love to see it ; and 2) i'm reading Hesse's Siddhartha in July and obviously Steppenwolf is next on the list Happy birthday !
Emmaaa you haven't been born in the wrong month, only in the wrong place haha come to the South of Brazil! Here, July is our winter time ❤
emma pls read The Book of Disquiet pleaseeeeee❤❤
oOooh I’m reading Floating Hotel right now and it’s getting so good! it’s such a fun world, I think you would enjoy it… it started out very cozy sci-fi but ramps up quick! 🚀❤
I just started watching ur vids and thyre so comforting to watch😭😭❤️❤️ we have the same taste in booksss, i really hope u make a video about 1q84 i loved itt❤️
Happy Birthday! Was wondering if Ice by Anna Kavan is on your radar, a cold kafkaesque nightmare sounds like something you’d dig!
oh look, it's my fave calm bestie emmie

@@emmiereads 🫂💗🥺
Hope you enjoy your reads 📚🥤
Ok so
Totally counting on u to
Review The seven year slip novel for us
And recommend some cute soft novels set in rain and they should be like clean romance ❤ xoxo
3:06 The Resident Bookshelf Spider does have a title and a distinguished taste in books 📚 😊
Yay for picking up Ali Smith! I hope you enjoy Hotel World.
I absolutely love your channel, and find I share a deep love of some of your favorite books--especially Anne of Green Gables and War and Peace. But how is it possible that I haven't heard you mention Wind in the Willows? In the unabridged form, this is so much more than a children's book. The writing is absolutely gorgeous, and you will especially love the cozy winter scene at the badger's house. Someone (wish I remembered who) wrote that The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the most beautiful chapter ever written in the English language, and I couldn't agree more. If you've covered this book, please tell me where, and if you haven't, hope you will do yourself a favor and read it. It will make you happy.
"This mean businesses" AHHAHA that killed me 🤣🤣
I just love the way you speak.❤
Also Happy Birthday Emma 🎂❤️
I hope you'll love Hotel World, Ali Smith is one of my favourite authors 🤍
My sister born on January and she loves summer more than winter how funny is that 😂
EMMMAAA!! I recently stumbled upon a rather obscure title which SCREAMED your name because it had two of your favourite elements: hotels and snow! It also has the dead haunting the living, a theme I’ve seen you explore in your reading. It’s called “The Children of the Dead” by Elfriede Jelinek
You should go to the southern hemisphere for your birthday some year! It would be winter!
My birthday month too❤
Birthday twins❤❤
As you like sci-fi and poetry, I would like to recommend to you one of the most poetic classical "hard" sci-fi books I have read: Poul Anderson's Tau Zero.
