It's insane how emma has managed to build a community where are people from all across the world giving book recommendations, sharing their reading experiences! Also I love how everyone appreciates that your videos have been great comfort to them, how sweet and humble they are, how all of us have formed a connection through books. Aah, It's just a beautiful feeling!😌💓
@@renataalencar4332 eu também sou!!! Também fico muito feliz, quando comentam, indicam literatura brasileira, ou quando ela lê algo do Brasil, fiquei muito feliz que ela tem gostado, principalmente de Machado de Assis!!
This video made me remember to water my plants, light a jasmine candle, make some vanilla-ish tea, and move from my bed to my reading nook to read my books this afternoon!
Because of you and your channel my love for reading elevates that i almost want to reconsider my change of path but it turns out i can learn literature and appreciate them while i pursue my own journey as future lawyer, books balance my life from being stressful to comfort because the solitude i do when im all alone with my books hits different it's like im on a different planet especially when i read dickens, rilke and my recent frankeintein which comes from your recommendations , more power to your channel and i know you will be more in the area of literature
I feel the exact same way. I'm studying political science and love to read and study books but I always thought that all my time would have to be devoted to studying the law. But fortunately, I can study both because I found out that I could satisfy my requirements with both literature and political science classes! Good luck to you in your academic journey!
I have an assignment due tomorrow and I have just started it, I will save this video as a reward for myself to watch after I finish the work. Your videos always calm me down and I look forward to watch them, hope you are having a good day! Sending lots of hugs🌸🌸
after i finished my master's a couple months ago, i had a panic attack almost every sunday and thursday (the nights when i had assignments due) feeling like i wasn't doing enough. post-term/post-graduation burnout is real! the best thing i could do was just take deep breaths and try to remember hobbies i enjoy. it feels insane to actually be reading for fun again instead of just for assignments. hang in there, it gets easier! :) thanks for the vlog
I relate to this incredibly so. I just finished my Honours degree last year, and this post-graduation burnout has been around since December. I am slowly starting to find my feet but motivation is low, and what is worse my anxiety at having nothing urgent or "significant" to do is gnawing. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Emmie! I really resonate with your "aimless jellyfish" feeling. I graduated last year with my Masters in English lit, and God I miss school so much. After graduating, I fell into a pretty deep depression because I had no idea what to do with myself. I couldn't read, I couldn't write, I just couldn't do any of the things that gave my life meaning. I felt so useless! I think the problem was that school/being a student was my entire universe and then suddenly it wasn't. My identity from 6 years old to 24 years old was inextricably linked to my life as a student. Without school, I had no idea who I was. I am just now coming out of that funk (I still have my days), and things are much better. My advice to you is to try and do the things that you love every day; do those things even if you feel aimless and bleh. Cultivate who you are outside of school, and let that Emmie grow and flourish. You can't stay in shool forever (as much as I wish we could), so the time is coming when school is no longer who you are or what you do. Don't be like me and get blindsided by the loss of school, be ready for that new chapter in your life. I love your videos and congrats on being done for the year! From one jellyfish to another :)
I can totally relate to your feelings after finishing your exams! It's funny how, when we are doing our exams, we have at least a thousand plans about things to do after the exams, but when they are finally done, we aren't really able to do anything. I think that studying, provided you're really passionate about the subject, can give you a sense of purpose.
I’m so glad you’re starting to vlog more and Im happy you made it through finals! Definitely can’t wait for more book recommendations and discussions 💛
Your videos are so calming and comforting. I love writing but I recently lost my motivation to write I don't know why. I just lost the motivation to create something. I feel okay about myself that it's not only me. I really hope you feel better soon. Sending you love and strength.💗✨
wow! I can't believe there is snow still on the ground! ❄️ Insane! It's the middle of the year! LOL Yay for getting things done, taxes, finals, and reading! 🍄🌹 Hope you have an awesome Mother's Day with your mom and grannie emma! xoxo 🥰
The Name of the Rose is a fantastic book, yes, it is a murder mystery - I also have the same edition! There is also a great film based on the book starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater. Another fantastic book by Umberto Eco is called “Baudolino”, which is a fantasy-medieval fiction about utopian/dystopian ideas. Enjoy!
your description of yourself as a jellyfish floating out in the sea is EXACTLY how I feel after completely finishing college this week, so strange to have so much structure in my life and then none at all!! We're in this together, my friend
I don't know why but I had a visceral reaction to seeing the moss in the tombstone engravings, I absolutely love moss and could talk about it for hours but seeing in the cracks of the stone that serves as a reminder for someone's life brought some feeling of comfort or another feeling I can't describe. The earth has claimed this person and brought them into her fold.
this is such a calming vlog Emma!🌸 I've been going through kind of a stressful period with a lot of things going on (not all bad just overwhelming) and I've felt a little out of touch with myself but coming back to your vlogs or videos is honestly so grounding to me so thank you and I understand you! I hope you're having a wonderful and calming day 🌺🍄🌻
your reading vlogs are literally free therapy by now I'm making a whole playlist.. i love these so much please keep making them they're helping lots. love x
I almost think The Name of the Rose is better when you know how it ends because once you're not trying to guess the killer you can follow the sarcasm uninpended. This novel is insanely funny at times and very critical
Been suffering from depression and panic attack so long and nothing was helping but then i discovered your channel and honestly ur videos are like Medicine for the soul... ❤
As an Italian I’m proud of you for picking up The name of the rose. I’ll say at first it was kind of difficult to understand everything, especially the language ( in Italian it’s quite sophisticated), but then, as I continued reading it I feel in love with the writing style and I got more and more involved in the story. Really recommend reading it.
your vlogs are my comfort place to be honest. They just radiate so much coziness and joy and love, whenever I feel down, i come back to one of them :)) Also you seem to be the kindest and most symapthetic person. Sending you all my love
I was watching the video and suddenly I felt this peace inside me and just said “I love you emma” with a smile so I really wanted to come here and tell you how much I appreciate your videos so thank you ❤️
My family and I visited Neuschwannstein on my middle son's birthday each year we were in Germany. He called it his birthday cake castle. We visited all the other Ludwig castles, too, but this one is just spectacular. Get a horse cart up the hill, and later definitely try one of those giant Bavarian pretzels from the stand down below.
I just came back home from an exam in uni and then a long working session for a project with my team, it’s been really exhausting and stressful and I’m really grateful to see this vlog. Your videos help me de-stress. 💕
I know the aimless feeling you’re describing. I went through this every time the semester ended and started again, it’s just so weird to transition from courses, productivity and stress to unstructured free time and back again when you just got used to it. I hope you manage to just stay in the moment and appreciate the current situation.
I feel what you have been going through. Just recently, I got two weeks off from the work due to renovation purposes and I live in Andermatt, The swiss mountains.. well nothing really to do except for walking around and reading. But when I got those offs I had no clue what exactly to do... Yes I could travel around but well gotta save some money... Read my unfinished TBR of course... and then I kinda came a with a plan saying 'Go with the flow! Relax! You need some Me Time' zone/. Sending all the love and positivity to you! You are amazing person, the vibe is calming and soothful.
I love The Name of the Rose! I'm so excited to see it mentioned on booktube. There's also a movie adaptation of it that was pretty faithful to the book.
Aww, Hans (btw. the most German name ever XD) sent you a photo of the Neuschwanstein castle in Winter! It's really a gorgeous building and in one of the most scenic places in all of Germany. Just wanna tell you that this vlog really lifted my spirits. Been having a bit of a rough couple of days for no good reason, but you make it all better. Literal sunshine straight to my veins 🥰 Much love from Hamburg, Germany!
Thank you for this new vlog Emma! I cherish all your videos as they soothe and inspire me very much 💚😊 The Name of the Rose if one of those books I've heard so much about but couldn't tell you what it's about lol
The weather here in Egypt is so weird too, like it changes during the day lol.. but unfortunately we don't have snow:(! My exams are supposed to be next month, and i have a research to write.. that's my last semester.. graduating and being -officially- an adult, it's weird and i am so stressed out and having a bad anxiety all the time.. i wanna just relax and read a nice book SO BAD. I loved the vlog, the snow, the tea, the reading, your lovely dog, and your gorgeous earrings
Thank you so much Emma for this beautiful video. It's so relaxing. You give a lot of good vibes. Watching this video has inspired me so much and It has helped me with my mental health. ❤️
seeing snow this time of year would throw me OFF!! where i am it is about 35 degrees Celsius (if my conversion is right, it's about 95 Fahrenheit) on an average day and I'm sweating buckets everyday
My dad is that person who likes the grape flavor of things that no one likes. I remember us having a package of ice pops in our house, and all the grape ones were for him. LOL.
Oh, I am totally excited for Name of the Rose, going to borrow a Kindle copy through my library soon. Also have Foucault's Pendulum on my radar, but that one would probably have to wait a while. Lol.
Hi Emma🌼 I'm desperately searching for the titel of a book you mentioned in one video. I tried to find it in your videos, but unfortunately I wasn't able to. The book is about a sick girl who has lost her father. During her illness (I think one year) she reads all the old books from her father to get to know him better. I would be soo thankful if you can tell me the title of this book! All the best Maja🥰
I don't know how it happens but a LOT of times when you post a vlog I can relate to you so much. this time I'm studying for finals and I have two back to back in consecutive days BUT I'm extremely unmotivated to study even though they have mega materials to cover. and a week ago I was so exited that finally the semester is over....anyone else is like me ???? anyway love you and your vlogs as always.
I can't remember if I commented yesterday, sorry if this is a duplicate. Anyways....omg The Pearl. That story stuck with me because of the end. Read this probably 20 years ago and never forgot it. Little traumatized by that one. Steinbeck is a great writer. The messages he sends are so important and stick with you. Also the grape earrings are adorable. I laughed when you said "I am that grape flavor no one likes" bc it totally made me think of the grape bubbalious gum when I was a kid. Or a grape jolly rancher.
I was feeling lost and tired for no reason today, but this video made my night while I was having my dinner, so thanks:) By the way, I wish my city has the weather as there, here is spring as well, but it feels like the hell itself. I envy you.
O my God, if you are at all into Medieval history or culture, you will love the Name of the Rose -- think Sherlock Holmes but with Benedictine monasteries and parchment manuscripts. Since you recently read Dante's Inferno you may dig it. Also, really admiring your nail polish, super enthralling. Happy Spring to all!
In Washington state where I live we have had this same kind of crazy weather, 78 degrees one day three days later we have 2 feet of snow. Sunny again and the next day thunderstorms, it’s been a weird spring.
I really liked The Name of the Rose, a layered, refined, and attenuated Sherlock Holmes-ish murder mystery with much elaboration to explore his many interests. Foucault's Pendulum is also a favorite of mine, his commentary on and demonstration of conspiratorial thinking.
Hello Emma! I live in Saint-Petersburg and we have the same climate and crazy 😜 spring as yours. I mean weather, let’s keep other crazy things behind the scenes.
i need to find clear stickies for my research! it would be so nice to use those in books on loan for research. i didn’t even know that was a thing! so glad i heard about it here
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was a book that helped me a lot. If you're reading Name of the Rose, I may pick it up. I've had it forever but haven't read it. Toni Morrison is the GOAT. Can't wait to hear the rest of your American lit syllabus.
It's insane how emma has managed to build a community where are people from all across the world giving book recommendations, sharing their reading experiences! Also I love how everyone appreciates that your videos have been great comfort to them, how sweet and humble they are, how all of us have formed a connection through books. Aah, It's just a beautiful feeling!😌💓
So true 😍 Emmie’s channel makes it feel like you’re her friend without even knowing her beforehand.
That’s a parasocial relationship lol, but I do appreciate her and other booktubers for giving me so many book recommendations.
@@renataalencar4332 eu também sou!!! Também fico muito feliz, quando comentam, indicam literatura brasileira, ou quando ela lê algo do Brasil, fiquei muito feliz que ela tem gostado, principalmente de Machado de Assis!!
Absolutely
Is anyone else obsessed with the nail tapping on books habit Emma has?!
Love the sound 😂
I have picked that habit from her and now I do that too 😂😂
tbh i find it very off putting to me it's like nails on a chalkboard.. but glad you are finding unexpected pleasure in it :)

Great book and even the film was pretty decent. I haven't read Baudolino, but after your mention, I will check it out. Thanks and stay safe.
Does one have to be familiar with Catholicism / st Thomas Acquinas etc to understand it ? Or is it explained ? Thanks !
F. Murray Abraham as the Inuisitor Ogui, (sp?), was great in the film version.

I would actually love a plant tour if you're interested. Seems like your plant family has really grown! As always, thanks for all the coziness!
Watching your videos is the best distraction from life's daily struggles. Thank You!

the name of the rose is amazing!! also, the book chemist's (he's italian) review of it on youtube is super insightful
