the wheel of time gets much, much better from the eye of the world lol. i’m currently on book 4 and taking it slow- because YES these books absolutely are a commitment! anyways, i’m excited to see your thoughts on the series when you do continue :)
I absolutely love you book self it’s so you! I think physical books are great because after they pile up you can see your book evolution 💛 kind of like a photo album ☺️
This makes me so happy!! I love your bookshelf tours. I ordered the book of disqiuet when you talked about it (because it was so pretty hello??) and now it's one of my favorite books! Same with Rilke, I'm obsessed. I think you would really like the brothers Karamazov, I had such a fun time reading it (crime and punishment is still my ride or die my number 1), it has everything a russian classic should have.
Wow, you got the same "The master and Margarita" I just bought! I have finished reading the Chinese translation of it. It directly became one of my favorites just from the first few pages I read in the bookstore in China! It is just brilliant! I want to read it again in English, and that book is just gorgeous. It feels like that book cover is just the way I hoped this book to look like. Great to see you got "Journey to the west" there. It is possibly the most loved children story in China through history, but it is also very entertaining and even inspiringly profound for adults as well. With many mataphors for life. Emma, you are so lovely, cultured, and open-minded. Love you.
I'm also in the process of reorganising my shelves & a good declutter. I really like the way you've organised your Classics by edition - looks very tidy. Also, what I mostly love about your bookshelves is the fact that your books actually LOOK read; broken spines, loved! As my Dad always says, "it's not a museum piece!" I loved Bone Gap, and a big YES to Daphne du Maurier, she's wonderful! Rebecca is one of my favourite books :-)
"CONFESSIONS" by Jaume Cabre is an amazing book. Definitely the best for 2022 for me. Sorry, but this is the most beautiful book written in the 21st century 😅❤. It is impossible to break away from the first page, the book is so fascinating. This is magical realism to some extent. The narrative is rather chaotic (jumps from one timeline to another), but this is explained by the fact that the narrator (Adrian) is gradually losing his memory due to illness (before the illness he was a genius, have learned more than 10 languages, which makes the situation even more tragic). At the center of the story is a violin that has been passed from hand to hand for many years. There is a trail of blood behind it, because it was made of a unique material, and the sound of the musical instrument was astonishing. The main character begins a story about his life from childhood, where the violin played an important role. Adrian was born into a strange family, where there is a strange domineering father with a lot of secrets, an indifferent mother, an office filled with antiques and priceless treasures... Gradually, we learn the whole story of Adrian's life (and the stories of the previous owners of the violin), and then the puzzle about the enigmatic violin is finally solved. It is very sad that I have not heard anything about this amazing work in the English-speaking segment of booktube, it deserves more. So, please give the book a chance, it's a real masterpiece
Oh, God!! You just made my day! I couldn’t have explained it better myself!! I totally agree with everything you said, this is the best book I have read in 2022 and I believe it’s a masterpiece! I wish others could see it the same way and give it a chance. I guess this doesn’t happen because the book is pretty hard to read but it’s soooo good!! I am so happy you loved it too! Emma got the book from me actually as I was 100% convinced she would love it! 😊
@@georgianatrutescu Oh thank you so much for replying! ❤ I am happy that I was able to express my feelings about this astonishing book, cause I was afraid I hadn't suceeded in this 😅 And I am really grateful to you for sending this book to Emma. I hope she would enjoy it, as much as we did) 🤗
I should make note there are some Content Warnings for this book. I'm reading it currently and forgot about at least one scene. So, just a heads up to anyone who may be interested, to look that up before reading!
Just found this channel and it already became something I come to for cozyness and peace. Also classics recomendations. Also the humor. Thanks for making the exam season go more pleasantly.
I've been trying to get bored by your lengthy videos but I can't even get bored for 1 sec. I'm just so amazed by the books and the way you describe the books and all. After watching this I just want to read all those books and have a perfect bookshelf like yours. Keep it up. You're just motivating people to read more and more books.
Your taste is *chef's kiss*. I can't comment on everything lol. I saw a rave review of Agota Kristof too, and I'm eager to try. Neuromancer was a big book for me in highschool, I really want to try his more recent series, starting with Peripheral. My favorite David Mitchell is Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I too want to read Fathers and Sons and some Hesse soon. And the Oxford classics redesign was SOOO good. They have a complete translation of Zola's 20 book series I'm collecting.
Now that you're reading Murakami chronologically I can't wait to hear more of what you think of his work! It took me about two and a half years to get through all of his books (I wasn't in a hurry), but it was a great goal to complete!
I really love your shelves! I am reorganizing my library so I am so inspired by seeing your amazing library! I will have to post a picture of my new library when it's done!
You definitely should pick up Kallocain soon, we read it for school (I’m Swedish) and I loved it., it reminded me that I love reading and got me back into it. I’ve read a lot of the classic dystopias since and none have been better than Kallocain ☺️
As a Brazilian with a literature major, I am so excited to hear that you liked “The posthumous memoirs of brás cubas”! Have you done a review on the book by any chance? I’d love to watch
omg I fully support the unhauling of hp&the cursed child... i did not find it worth my time haha! i started organizing my classics chronologically because of your last two bookshelf tours
I like organizing my classics chronologically too but the next time i clean / reorganize the shleves, i'm torn between organizing ALL of them by chronological order OR by country THEN by chronological order for each region or country or whatever.. I always enjoy your book shelf tours ^^
@15:05 when you said “I don’t know if audio is the way to go for this…” it made me think about how I would love to see a video of you recommending “audio is the way to go books. “ I always struggle with choosing what to read on audible.
omg what a coincidence, i rewatched your previous bookshelf tour video just yesterday ! so glad you made a new one because i was craving this type of content lately :')
I bought a bookshelf from Walmart...bowed right away I put an extra shelf on top of the bowed one so my books would be perpendicular. 60$ but it fit perfectly in the space.
I knew I was in trouble when I clicked pause, Googled, and then put in my Thriftbooks cart the LITERAL first book on your shelf. I adore bookshelf tours. I always find something new I like and I just love looking at people's books. If there were open houses for snooping people's shelves instead of like real estate open houses, that would be my jam.
the fact that kingdom of little wounds just sits there on the bookshelf you want to rearrange because they‘re your favourite books, i can‘t even😄 (amazing collection
oh my god i love this, i was already so excited to see your bookshelf tour BUT THEN i got to watch your cat as a bonus, how cute pls i wanted to hug him so much
This video is exhibit 3,287 that Emma is a super cool person! Emma, I want to be like you when I grow up (we'll just ignore that I'm probably fifteen years or so ahead of you, lol). Another really fun and relaxing video! P.S. That "Cleopatra" book by Stacy Schiff is excellent!
If anyone’s thinking of picking this up it bagged Tagore the first Nobel lit prize for anyone outside of Europe. It’s that good! His short stories are also really good.
Since I started watching your channel, I have gotten more into drinking tea. I got a Sips By box and I sat down to drink my raspberry rose oolong tea while listening to this and I think I've peaked in relaxation 😌
I'm so excited for you to read Malibu Rising! I devoured it in a day and it broke my heart as well as made me mad at them. So glad you will (hopefully) pick it up. And From Lukov With Love.... just yes.
Geek Love and the Stationary Shop I loved! I’ve been in a reading slump and found your channel. Thanks for this! I think I’ll read the Girl Who Drank the Moon 🌙📚
I've been watching you for a while and really enjoyed hearing what you are interested in, and doing a library tour of your books. It encouraged me to finally sit down and catalog all the books that I have in my library. It took me a week and a half and I have 2,756 books.. not counting those on my Kindle. I've been collecting for years no for decades. Books are my joy and peace! Wishing you happy collecting.
Saramago’s Blindness is one of my all time favorites!! The audio definitely helps because the dialogue is written a bit oddly. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
for saramago i really recommend reading it on paper because of his different writing style, it takes time to get used to it, but it pays off beautifully
I recently watched The Summer I Turned Pretty and immediately ordered the books, read the first one and it’s just the perfect summer read 🥰 love your shelves, so many inspiring books ❤️
not sure if you've read it yet but i saw the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society on your historical fiction shelf and i really encourage you to read it if you haven't! it's one of my favourite books and it's so cozy but also manages to stay real amidst the fluffy feelings. as a person with a deep love for books, juliet's perspective is so lovely to read, as well as just being entertaining, insightful, and unique. all the other characters also have delightfully specific voices and it's just entirely worthwhile, even if historical fiction isn't your jam. a great one for lovers of found family.
I LOVE the original wheel of time cover art too! It’s so charming! There are a few less good covers as you go through the series but I still refuse to get any editions with different cover art
I just love your bookhselves, so pretty and you have wonderful taste in books. It is wonderful to see what you have "Doña Barbara" on your shelf, I am venezuelan and I had never seen someone outside of Latin America reading Rómulo Gallegos❤️ Also I recommend that you continue with the throne of glass serie, I know the first one Is not good, I did't especially like it when I first read It, but the second book Is way better and the rest of the saga Is so funny and enjoyable. (Sorry if I don't write very well in English)
Blindness is such a good one! I read it a little before the pandemic and I have to say that some of what happened in the book was reflected in real life in 2020. It is pretty heavy topic wise, but such a good read! Greatings from Belgium!
I really like how you organize your shelves. I go by: educational/research or fiction, hardback or paperback, size, genre, author, liked most to liked least. quick edit: anything I don't like gets traded in for new books unless I plan on reading it again (because maybe I thought it was so stupid that I want to see if I'll change my mind).
Hey ! Just wanted to tell you that I just read Martin Eden by Jack London and wow... This is definitely the greatest novel I have ever read (the writing is even better than The Picture of Dorian Gray...). And I sobbed so much ! Plus I really was amazed by Jack London's writing style since he was basically illiterate and had to learn how to write by himself ! Anyways, I hope that you will read it soon. This book is so underrated 💗💗💗
Love the collection and feel more ok with having many books :) I think you could like "Let the right one in". It is a "vampire" book but it is very wintery, chilly, the atmosphere is great. I would say its more mysterious than a fantasy. Although it is categorized ad a horror as well.
Such a dreamy collection, I've seen all of your bookshelf videos and love watching them still, your voice and the vibes are just the best! Also: as a Portuguese girlie i just wanted to pop in here and strongly advise you to read Saramago in physical form, not audiobook, please trust me on this, it is not audiobook material and the experience will be so different! (either way, can't wait to know what you think of it, Blindness is one of my favourites of his, I really hope you enjoy it)
I am pretty much new to your channel and i was absolutely flabbergasted when you showed "Lady of the Camelias" in your bookshelf, its one of my absolute favourite classics! Love loveeeee it so much!
I'm sure you've heard this like a thousand times but just in case, if you can flip the shelves of the bookshelf over that could help with the bowing, or so I've heard. Hope this helps!
I just secretly wished that you make this video and post it, I didn't even knew that you were making it. It will be so nice to see your new organisation system
Hi Emmie! I've just returned to the UK from a holiday in Alberta (Banff & Jasper) and I really enjoyed your video on Banff. I think you also mentioned you were touching upon transcendentalism at uni in another video. Well, bringing those points together, I had Walden by Henry David Thoreau with me on my trip and I would really recommend it if you haven't given it a go. Thoreau writes 'How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book' and, whilst I would contribute it more to the astounding scenery and nature, this book in conjunction with Alberta has really given me a new perspective on life. Anyway - toodles!

People that say “ooooh big stretch” when their cat stretches are my people. Beautiful collection!!
OMG YEEEES! Bookshelf tours are honestly the best type of book content, especially long-ish ones like this one! And you have such beautiful shelves 💗
Best bookshelf tour ever! And i loved how Calcifer stole the show in the end! How to resist to his sweet face? Ciao Emma! 💖😻📚✨
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this! Now I can’t wait to grab a snack and watch you show your beautiful books
Lol same! She’s the best 💛
Ain’t that the truth. Time to get cozy!
truly every time i see the raven boys on your shelves i am relieved you haven't gotten rid of it bc that series is one of my favorite of all time
the wheel of time gets much, much better from the eye of the world lol. i’m currently on book 4 and taking it slow- because YES these books absolutely are a commitment! anyways, i’m excited to see your thoughts on the series when you do continue :)
I absolutely love you book self it’s so you! I think physical books are great because after they pile up you can see your book evolution 💛 kind of like a photo album ☺️

Watching this in jan 2023 and calcifer is such a little baby here he has grown so much im crying
I love Queen of the Tearling too. No one ever talks about it.
You have a wonderful collection. And congrats on your darling kitten. Cats are the best.

🥹 I live for videos like this! I’ve seen all of your book palace tours 🥰
Same here! They’re the best 💛
Daughter of the Forest is one of my favorite fantasy novels. Reads a lot like a fairy tale! 🥰
I should make note there are some Content Warnings for this book. I'm reading it currently and forgot about at least one scene. So, just a heads up to anyone who may be interested, to look that up before reading!
I finished reading The Phantom of the Opera last night because you always recommend it and it was INCREDIBLE!! Phantom is next on the list 😁
AHHH so cool, so happy you enjoyed it:’)
She has so many editions of that book 🤣🤣🤣
Just found this channel and it already became something I come to for cozyness and peace. Also classics recomendations. Also the humor. Thanks for making the exam season go more pleasantly.
I love Michael's gift. Just wow.
Oh, I love to see "They came to Bagdad" in your library.
Your bookshelves are awesome. Nice to see so many classics. I adore Penguin Classics editions.👍
YES! You have a beautiful library and it brings me so much joy to see your collection!
I've been trying to get bored by your lengthy videos but I can't even get bored for 1 sec. I'm just so amazed by the books and the way you describe the books and all. After watching this I just want to read all those books and have a perfect bookshelf like yours. Keep it up. You're just motivating people to read more and more books.
yasss! The Hundred Years Of Solutide is godly terrific! So glad you also like it💗
Your taste is *chef's kiss*. I can't comment on everything lol.
I saw a rave review of Agota Kristof too, and I'm eager to try.
Neuromancer was a big book for me in highschool, I really want to try his more recent series, starting with Peripheral.
My favorite David Mitchell is Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.
I too want to read Fathers and Sons and some Hesse soon. And the Oxford classics redesign was SOOO good. They have a complete translation of Zola's 20 book series I'm collecting.
That singing in the end !! ( 36:30 ) That honestly creeped me out! Sorry if that was rude but it was so hilarious on my part!
Now that you're reading Murakami chronologically I can't wait to hear more of what you think of his work! It took me about two and a half years to get through all of his books (I wasn't in a hurry), but it was a great goal to complete!
Okay i'm gonna be honest. I'm new here in this channel and ur voice is just so charming and charismatique ✨🦄
I really love your shelves! I am reorganizing my library so I am so inspired by seeing your amazing library! I will have to post a picture of my new library when it's done!

I always enjoy your book shelf tours ^^
@15:05 when you said “I don’t know if audio is the way to go for this…” it made me think about how I would love to see a video of you recommending “audio is the way to go books. “ I always struggle with choosing what to read on audible.
the fact that your favorite shelf is full of amazing books from south and central america makes me sooo happy
omg what a coincidence, i rewatched your previous bookshelf tour video just yesterday ! so glad you made a new one because i was craving this type of content lately :')
Damn so much serotonin has been released from watching this, your bookshelf is just perfect:0
OMG, Everything is so beautiful, let me live with you 🥺☺️
THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
All of your bookshelf tours are my comfort videos🪵
PLEASE read some Daphne du Maurier! I read Rebecca by her earlier this year and I have a feeling you’ll adore her!!
I bought a bookshelf from Walmart...bowed right away I put an extra shelf on top of the bowed one so my books would be perpendicular. 60$ but it fit perfectly in the space.
ahh you’re literally making my day emma! thanks always
Ditto lol
💙💙
when i saw this video on my homepage i literally audibly said "NO EMMA REALLY?!!??" in awe
I knew I was in trouble when I clicked pause, Googled, and then put in my Thriftbooks cart the LITERAL first book on your shelf. I adore bookshelf tours. I always find something new I like and I just love looking at people's books. If there were open houses for snooping people's shelves instead of like real estate open houses, that would be my jam.

Bad day? Of course not, Emmie uploaded a video
ahh i have been waiting for this and it literally made my day!! loving your library and PLEASE read Jane Eyre 😭🖤
Great video! I love your little helper, he is super cute 😍
Pretty pretty please do an unhaul/little library drop off/pick up next. Thank you for this video. I got 3 books to add to my TBR. ❤️❤️❤️
Man I'm just getting to this and couldn't help thinking about how you filmed this and now have to box everything up again. Glad you made it though
Am I the only one who feels a sense of peace watching Emmie’s videos?
Your favorite shelf is my favorite shelf. Love it!
Gitanjali is so good, I had to read it in high school and it really opened my eyes to many new things I highly recommend!!
If anyone’s thinking of picking this up it bagged Tagore the first Nobel lit prize for anyone outside of Europe. It’s that good!
His short stories are also really good.
Since I started watching your channel, I have gotten more into drinking tea. I got a Sips By box and I sat down to drink my raspberry rose oolong tea while listening to this and I think I've peaked in relaxation 😌
I love Samarago's books, I ve read Blindness and the story really sticks with you, its challenging but definitely worth it! Can't wait for your review
I'm so excited for you to read Malibu Rising! I devoured it in a day and it broke my heart as well as made me mad at them. So glad you will (hopefully) pick it up.
And From Lukov With Love.... just yes.
Geek Love and the Stationary Shop I loved! I’ve been in a reading slump and found your channel. Thanks for this! I think I’ll read the Girl Who Drank the Moon 🌙📚
I've been watching you for a while and really enjoyed hearing what you are interested in, and doing a library tour of your books. It encouraged me to finally sit down and catalog all the books that I have in my library. It took me a week and a half and I have 2,756 books.. not counting those on my Kindle.

can't tell you how much joy i felt seeing this video in my subscriptions
Saramago’s Blindness is one of my all time favorites!! The audio definitely helps because the dialogue is written a bit oddly. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
I never get tired of your bookshelf tours
Your bookshelf tours give me life!😂
36 minute video all dedicated to your bookshelf ..!?!? Ahhhh yay 😍😍
that woman in literature course sounds sooo good!!
exercise also always help me feel better! it's sooo amazing
this is straight up goals, emmie!!! 😭💕
malibu rising is incredible!
for saramago i really recommend reading it on paper because of his different writing style, it takes time to get used to it, but it pays off beautifully
Amazing tour! Absolutely read Du Maurier, she's incredible!!
YAYY ITS OUT! ive been dying to see this for so long! you never fail to make all of us happy emma
I recently watched The Summer I Turned Pretty and immediately ordered the books, read the first one and it’s just the perfect summer read 🥰 love your shelves, so many inspiring books ❤️
As a huge fan of Rabindranath Tagore's works, read "Gitanjali" as soon as possible!😭💗👍🏻🙌🏻
Emma, have you heard of Legends & Lattes? It's a cozy fantasy, i think you would like.
given the raven boys a try! it's awesome
not sure if you've read it yet but i saw the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society on your historical fiction shelf and i really encourage you to read it if you haven't! it's one of my favourite books and it's so cozy but also manages to stay real amidst the fluffy feelings. as a person with a deep love for books, juliet's perspective is so lovely to read, as well as just being entertaining, insightful, and unique. all the other characters also have delightfully specific voices and it's just entirely worthwhile, even if historical fiction isn't your jam. a great one for lovers of found family.
Nicely decorated
I LOVE the original wheel of time cover art too! It’s so charming! There are a few less good covers as you go through the series but I still refuse to get any editions with different cover art
I just love your bookhselves, so pretty and you have wonderful taste in books. It is wonderful to see what you have "Doña Barbara" on your shelf, I am venezuelan and I had never seen someone outside of Latin America reading Rómulo Gallegos❤️
Also I recommend that you continue with the throne of glass serie, I know the first one Is not good, I did't especially like it when I first read It, but the second book Is way better and the rest of the saga Is so funny and enjoyable.
(Sorry if I don't write very well in English)
Blindness is such a good one! I read it a little before the pandemic and I have to say that some of what happened in the book was reflected in real life in 2020. It is pretty heavy topic wise, but such a good read!
Greatings from Belgium!
omgg as a hungarian subscriber, i can't wait for you to read Satantango and hear your thoughts!!
Bookshelf envy is actually enjoyable when it’s from an Emma vid!
I really like how you organize your shelves. I go by: educational/research or fiction, hardback or paperback, size, genre, author, liked most to liked least.
quick edit: anything I don't like gets traded in for new books unless I plan on reading it again (because maybe I thought it was so stupid that I want to see if I'll change my mind).
Your kitty is absolutely adorable :)
master and margarita is a real masterpiece, it's probably my favorite book.
Hey ! Just wanted to tell you that I just read Martin Eden by Jack London and wow... This is definitely the greatest novel I have ever read (the writing is even better than The Picture of Dorian Gray...). And I sobbed so much ! Plus I really was amazed by Jack London's writing style since he was basically illiterate and had to learn how to write by himself ! Anyways, I hope that you will read it soon. This book is so underrated 💗💗💗
your shelf is gorgeous! to have a classic collection like yours
Emmie, your awesome. That’s it. Thank you.
Love the collection and feel more ok with having many books :) I think you could like "Let the right one in". It is a "vampire" book but it is very wintery, chilly, the atmosphere is great. I would say its more mysterious than a fantasy. Although it is categorized ad a horror as well.

Much love from Mexico to you, xx
I am pretty much new to your channel and i was absolutely flabbergasted when you showed "Lady of the Camelias" in your bookshelf, its one of my absolute favourite classics! Love loveeeee it so much!
ohhh!!! Chess is so beautiful!!! You're gonna love it, Emmie! 💕🙌
The Wolf in the Whale is really good. I also enjoyed her Olympus Bound Trilogy.
I'm sure you've heard this like a thousand times but just in case, if you can flip the shelves of the bookshelf over that could help with the bowing, or so I've heard. Hope this helps!
I just secretly wished that you make this video and post it, I didn't even knew that you were making it. It will be so nice to see your new organisation system
i hope i have a book shelf like this one day

Thoreau writes 'How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book' and, whilst I would contribute it more to the astounding scenery and nature, this book in conjunction with Alberta has really given me a new perspective on life. Anyway - toodles!
The video we have all been waiting for! Thank you for posting this!
12:41 oh I love the coincidence makers!
(also, Conrad is an icon)
