People that say âooooh big stretchâ 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 đ
Best bookshelf tour ever! And i loved how Calcifer stole the show in the end! How to resist to his sweet face? Ciao Emma! đđ»đâš
Yes! Iâve been waiting for this! Now I canât wait to grab a snack and watch you show your beautiful books
Lol same! Sheâs the best đ
Ainât that the truth. Time to get cozy!
the wheel of time gets much, much better from the eye of the world lol. iâm currently on book 4 and taking it slow- because YES these books absolutely are a commitment! anyways, iâm excited to see your thoughts on the series when you do continue :)
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.
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.
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
I absolutely love you book self itâs so you! I think physical books are great because after they pile up you can see your book evolution đ kind of like a photo album âșïž
Great way to think of it like that! A photo album!
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 :-)
YES! You have a beautiful library and it brings me so much joy to see your collection!
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.
"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 đ â€. 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 couldnât 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 itâs a masterpiece! I wish others could see it the same way and give it a chance. I guess this doesnât happen because the book is pretty hard to read but itâs 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! đ
@@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 đ
And I am really grateful to you for sending this book to Emma. I hope she would enjoy it, as much as we did) đ€
đ„č I live for videos like this! Iâve seen all of your book palace tours đ„°
Same here! Theyâre the best đ
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.
Daughter of the Forest is one of my favorite fantasy novels. Reads a lot like a fairy tale! đ„°
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 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!
The video we have all been waiting for! Thank you for posting this!
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 :')
All of your bookshelf tours are my comfort videosđȘ”
the fact that your favorite shelf is full of amazing books from south and central america makes me sooo happy
YAYY ITS OUT! ive been dying to see this for so long! you never fail to make all of us happy emma
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
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.
can't tell you how much joy i felt seeing this video in my subscriptions
yasss! The Hundred Years Of Solutide is godly terrific! So glad you also like itđ
I never get tired of your bookshelf tours
Watching this in jan 2023 and calcifer is such a little baby here he has grown so much im crying
I recently watched The Summer I Turned Pretty and immediately ordered the books, read the first one and itâs just the perfect summer read đ„° love your shelves, so many inspiring books â€ïž
Your favorite shelf is my favorite shelf. Love it!
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 đ
omg yay I was waiting for another bookshelf tour from you!! I LOVE ur taste in books
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 đ
AHHH so cool, so happy you enjoyed it:â)
She has so many editions of that book đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
the fact that kingdom of little wounds just sits there on the bookshelf you want to rearrange because theyâre your favourite books, i canât evenđ (amazing collection
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!
IâVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! đ© Gah! Itâs always a pleasure to watch your videos đđ·
THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
this is straight up goals, emmie!!! đđ
You definitely should pick up Kallocain soon, we read it for school (Iâm Swedish) and I loved it., it reminded me that I love reading and got me back into it. Iâve read a lot of the classic dystopias since and none have been better than Kallocain âșïž
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.
Your bookshelves are awesome. Nice to see so many classics. I adore Penguin Classics editions.đ
Geek Love and the Stationary Shop I loved! Iâve been in a reading slump and found your channel. Thanks for this! I think Iâll read the Girl Who Drank the Moon đđ
Great video! I love your little helper, he is super cute đ
Amazing tour! Absolutely read Du Maurier, she's incredible!!
Lovely shelves! Thank you for sharing, got lots of new titles for my TBR!
Much love from Mexico to you, xx
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
Your bookshelf tours give me life!đ
your shelf is gorgeous! to have a classic collection like yours
ohhh!!! Chess is so beautiful!!! You're gonna love it, Emmie! đđ
Absolutely gorgeous collection! đ„đ
most beautiful and unique collection ever!
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!
Damn so much serotonin has been released from watching this, your bookshelf is just perfect:0
Woooooww!!!! Super excited for this!
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!
oh gosh how long have I been waiting for this! thank you đâ€ïž
ahh so welcome, enjoy lovely!!
ahh i have been waiting for this and it literally made my day!! loving your library and PLEASE read Jane Eyre đđ€
36 minute video all dedicated to your bookshelf ..!?!? Ahhhh yay đđ
Things fall apart is a great book! Currently reading The picture of Dorian Gray after your recommendation in a separate video!! Iâm loving it! â„ïž
What an amazing bookshelf tour.. watching you sparks joy â€ïžâșïž i hope you do an apartment tour one day.. it looks so well decorated and beautiful.. anyways i hope you are having a lovely dayđ
Nicely decorated
ahh youâre literally making my day emma! thanks always
Ditto lol
đđ
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 đđđ
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.
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 ^^
I love Michael's gift. Just wow.
Great collection, great tour.
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.
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
that woman in literature course sounds sooo good!!
exercise also always help me feel better! it's sooo amazing
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!
thanks for feedback
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.
@15:05 when you said âI donât know if audio is the way to go for thisâŠâ it made me think about how I would love to see a video of you recommending âaudio is the way to go books. â I always struggle with choosing what to read on audible.
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 anyoneâs thinking of picking this up it bagged Tagore the first Nobel lit prize for anyone outside of Europe. Itâs that good!
His short stories are also really good.
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.
Wow you have some nice bookshelves there...Amazing collection.
Owwww! I have been waiting for this for such a long time! Yeahhhhh! From a brazilian follower!
As a Brazilian with a literature major, I am so excited to hear that you liked âThe posthumous memoirs of brĂĄs cubasâ! Have you done a review on the book by any chance? Iâd love to watch
Saramagoâs Blindness is one of my all time favorites!! The audio definitely helps because the dialogue is written a bit oddly. Canât wait to hear your thoughts!
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!
Oh i hot really excited when you said you want to read Fathers and sons. You have no idea how i love that book!!!!
Emmie, your awesome. Thatâs it. Thank you.
when i saw this video on my homepage i literally audibly said "NO EMMA REALLY?!!??" in awe
Brilliant, it's been a little while since we've had an update!
Okay i'm gonna be honest. I'm new here in this channel and ur voice is just so charming and charismatique âšđŠ
i love love love malibu rising and daisy jones and the six! huge tjr fan :)
I LOVE the original wheel of time cover art too! Itâs 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
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. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
đđxx your cat is UNBELIEVABLY adorable. Loved the podcast.
BEEN Waiting ahh so excited
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
Just today i was checking if you have uploaded new video and boom after couple of hours wd got new one! đđŒđ
Descartes Bones is a wonderful read (or listen, in my case)! Your shelves are amazing!
Your kitty is absolutely adorable :)
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.
"Chess" is a really great book!! I was really surprised that I like it sooo much^^ Greetings from Germany
Your bookshelves are amazing and I had to laugh when you said you have even more books at your parents! I love the organization and the little crochet dolls abound, your friend is amazing! :D
Regarding Saramago, the audio might be easier for the dialogue since he writes speech the way people talk - long sentences, not much ponctuation - and it can take a bit to get used to. I love his books and the themes he explores, I hope you enjoy Blindness (there's a movie as well if you want to compare it afterwards). I also recommend Death with Interruptions, beautiful little story!
Also you will love Calvino's "If on a winter's night a traveler" because it's about literature and the art and pleasure of reading! I'd say it's an autumn's book, if you're looking for suggestions!
OMG, Everything is so beautiful, let me live with you đ„șâșïž
12:41 oh I love the coincidence makers!
(also, Conrad is an icon)
