Such display of exuberance... if you ever find "The Man who was magic" by Paul Gallico" from 1966 well, I believe you would love it... it's pretty short, kinda light, but really is packed with deep wisdom, well what else from the mid sixties? You are so inspiring! From the beautiful Oregon Coast, wishing you well, AL
Quite ironic that construction noise came when you were talking about humanity's cyclical greed leading to destruction of nature.
Yes
My girl emma you never have to apologise for talking about books we love love love love lonnngggg videos from you it makes me feel like i know you❤
One of my dogs died today so you have no idea how much this video will cheer me up. Thank you Emma!
Oh love, sending you so much love - I’m sure they were incredibly lucky to have you in their life❤ wish I could send a hug along as well
Your dog loves you❤️ hugs
So sorry to hear this, I know your pain :((( very best wishes, be kind to yourself xx

I love hearing people talk about their favourite books! This was a lovely video 😃
I stumbled onto your channel by accident and I'm absolutely entranced by the way you speak and express yourself. We have very different reading styles but you make me want to read all of it ⭐
Emma, I love your videos so much ! They are so calming ! And I am so interested in your taste ! Thank you for everything! 💚
You know what I love about you is your range. Other than extreme horror or horror in general you have an outstanding palate. I’ve learned to give books a try when I never would’ve. Thank you
Love how diverse you 5* list is! I've read many good books thanks to you!
My all time favourite author is Paul Auster ( New York Trilogy and Oracle's Night, but i've read them ALL), also Ernst Junger - Eumeswil, Anne of Green Gables - Montgomery, Lost Connections - Johann Haris (non-fiction about depression, so good!), Paulo Coelho - The Pilgramage.
Love to you Emma
the sound at 12:51 caught me off guard! I love how excited you get by books, cause I am exactly the same and just gasp at great passages❤!
Ive been waiting for this so long. Emma you made my whole month happy(it's an understatement, last whole 3 years) Perfect video I needed in the midst of heavy load of uni assignments
I’m so glad!! Sending you so much luck with all your assignments🥰
@emmiereads Thank you so much💌. Have a great day/night🎀
Finally, I’ve been checking your channel all week for an upload!
Your voice is so calming!! Its so nice hearing you gush about books you love. I really appreciate the variety of books you have- it shows that you are a lover of story and know that genre or medium doesn't a great story make!
Especially pointing out middle-grade books! Im curious about your opinions on The Series of Unfortunate Events! LOOVED that series growing up and I want to reread it again so bad. I remember feeling really seen for some reason. Felt like such an important book for kids by showing them they could survive hardships and that adults and society can be absolutely stupid. WAHH i loved it~
New to the channel so sorry if you've already talked about it in another video!
any video where you talk about your favorite books are always my favorite videos of yours

🌟 I watch you for ~3 years, and it's my luck you like "weird" books, as I love them too! Thanks to you I got to know or just was encouraged to pick up so many amazing books! (100hyos, Untold night and day, The blind owl, Endgame...) Thank you!🌷

it's so nice to be a long-time viewer of your channel bcs when you start introducing a new category, it's so fun to guess the books you're gonna mention 😭
You inspired me to buy ‘one hundred years of solitude’ andddd WOWWW, it was weird but oh my gosh was it amazing! Definitely 5/5 stars
my top five books!! ⭐️
- alias grace by margaret atwood
- fingersmith by sarah waters
- the hunger games by suzanne collins
- the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid
- this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar
Love to see Alias Grace getting some praise!
@@sequoia504 i always say it’s my fav book when i’m asked! 🩷🩷
@@dxamondheart I would love to see Emma’s thoughts on it 🧐
@@sequoia504 I agree, also Life Before Man by Margaret Atwood is very very good
@@sequoia504 me too! i don’t know if she’s read it; i don’t recall if she has!!
⭐️ some of my alltime favourite 5 star reads are Blindless bei José Saramago, The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Heidi by Johanna Spyri, The Gurl with all the Gifts by M.R. Carey and Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer :)
Great video as always ^^ ⭐️
so glad to see a brazilian classic in here!!☺️☺️ also, you pronounced bras cubas perfectly!
i would also recommend dom casmurro by the same author, and also captains of the sand by jorge amado (or any book by him, really).
Aria is so good! Its honestly my fav and im so happy to see it getting recognition. They actually recently (like in the last couple years) rereleased it in a seven volume masterpiece collection with a prequel and spinoff and its SO GOOD!!! Its more of the same (and new) wholesome characters and adventures, you NEED to read them!!! Im so sad youve only read the first volume!!!!
I'm so glad you recommended the count of monte cristo. I was just at a library sale and got a 1920 2 volume set . It was fill a bag for $5 day! I started reading it was so riveted right away! Love it❤
⭐️ five favorites we have in common 1.The Graveyard Book 2. Letters to a Young Poet 3. Icefields (which I just picked up in the Lake Louise bookstore on my bday trip after seeing you get it there!) 4. Anne of Green Gables 5. The Dark Interval
not sure if anyone else commented this but aqua is basically a 'prequel' to the series aria, that's probably why you can't find any more volumes! if you search up 'Aria The Masterpiece Manga' you can find all the volumes, volume 1 has the first two volumes (aqua) and then the other volumes contain the rest of the series. it's absolutely beautiful and one of the greatest manga ever written.
I don't know what is happening in your life right now but I just love the energy and mood you are in. Great video bursting with recommandations. 🌟
Loved the video!! 💞 For my top 5 reads I would pick: Maurice, The Winners, Pachinko, The Running Grave & Wuthering Heights 📚
⭐! Made it to the end bc it's fun to hear the passion of someone talking about the book they love!
Favorite books:
- Memoirs of Hadrian, Marguerite Yourcenar
- The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry (my childhood ♥)
