_pointing to chain of gold_ “hi I’m Emma. This is my reason for living” *RELATABLE*
me looking at the bookshelves behind Emma to see which books are missing and are therefore in the video👀
Yes I knew Scythe would be in the video because it wasn't there on her shelf
Emma: . . . the shadowhunter chronicles by cassandra clare !!!
Me: **pretends to be shocked**
Haha same
“Adore to my core” okay go off poet
you forgot "and that is nevermoor"
THANK YOU for talking about Harry Potter. I’m tired of being made you feel like a bad person for all just loving the books. Couldn’t care less about JKR, but Harry, Ron and Hermione will always remain close to my heart. Those books shaped who I am today, and it’s ok to love them.
YES exactly. I can distinguish the difference between the author and the books, but I was nine years old when I started the series and I won’t ignore that and how my whole life was shaped by this series
YES EXACTLY its still okay to love the books. Because yes at the end of the day the books are the books!!
Emma and TID are the LITERAL DEFINITION of ✨enemies to lovers✨
Haha
I agree that just because JK Rowling is being a git, doesn’t mean we should shut out Harry Potter...it’s not his fault
@@aelina.galathynius6780 i think they meant it's not Harry's fault
I totally agree. Just cuz JK rowling is saying things nobody wants to know doesn't mean we should cancel Harry Potter, it is a great series. I absolutely love that series and it's my first ever series I started
Who’s J.K Rowling?Dobby wrote Harry Potter
@@lanyasherzad9519 lol
Harry doesn't have the fault for his mother's stupid comments ):
to anyone considering reading the renegades trilogy: READ IT. it is so worth it. i picked up this series because of emma years ago, and it's exactly what emma said it is. its just so. so. good!
Ordered all three books I’ll keep you updated🙂
Arc of a Scythe trilogy is SO UNDERRATED😭😭
The worlbuilding and plot was amazing
RIGHT.Its my favorite seriess.
Thanks for saying that about HP. I feel the same way and I appreciate you saying it feels complicated because it is so overwhelmingly complicated!
TLH has definitely beat TMI and TDA for me but nothing could beat TID
period.
I domt wanna read TDA idk why can I just read TLH HELPPPPPP
@@sugassugar8036 you can definitely read TLH without TDA as long as you’ve read TID.
YES YES YES
can we umm get rid of the acronyms please.. i’m so confused 😭😭
Me, cheesing every time one of the series is ALSO on my favorites list ❤️
Not gonna lie, the main reason I clicked on the video was to hear you talk about the mortal instruments 👀
Me toooo
Emma- thank you for being genuine, honest and kind when bringing up Potter. As someone who found potter late in life, but while dealing with extensive heartbreak, Potter became a safe place of joy and emotion. I feel like I genuinely missed out on all things Potter as a kid and it was such a godsend to my adult life. It brought hope that things would get better. To come into the community late with things in such a devastating uproar has been so rough on me. Everyone Thanos snapping potter out of their lives as I just found a home in it has been hard. I feel like I found something new to love and the world expects me to be silent about it all. Avidly watching booktube and then seeing all my favorite ppl refuse to give the series any time has been hard on me. I don't think readers should ever feel guilty for loving something that gives them a home. Thank you for keeping it real and letting me engage with you on something that the past three years has kept me going. I know I can't be the only one feeling like this. I wish more booktubers could articulate the pain of author vs series like you just did.
We have some of the same favorites! Harry Potter and what you said about the statements made by Rowling did not tarnish your love of the book is everything and i 1000% agree! The Diviners, Nevermoor! Such great books!
I feel the same about all of Cassie's books. nothing will ever replace the shadowhunters chronicles for me. But my number one out of them will always be the infernal devices.
And I haven't read the toll either. i will though soon. This trilogy is one of my all time favorites.
Is anyone else excited for Emma to do a review of chain of iron? I can’t believe we have to wait a whole year for COT to know what happens 😩
The last time I was this early was 2016
"Hi, I'm Emma, this is my reason for living" I SCREAMED 😂😂😂
Honestly I think the best way to engage with Harry Potter now is to only buy Rollings books second hand, buy fan-made merch like on Red Bubble or Etsy instead of official merch, and participate in the fandom community- subreddits, fan art, fan fiction. That way you can enjoy something you love but not support the author and not give her a dime of your coin!
NO BUT THIS TIMING 💗💗
HI EMMA
Just sayin that I'm starting cassie books for the 1st time this year and I've been watching your videos to get me hyped for them
Fingers crossed maybe I read most of them
Love your work, keep going!!!
You know what? I also started them this year thanks to her. But I'm a slow reader so I haven't even finished TMI yet.
I'm pushing through City of Bones, but the characters are honestly so obnoxious and it's really turning me off from the story.
@@Slow_Internet the characters start to really develop the further you get into the series. City of Bones and City of Ashes are probably the hardest ones in the series to get through but it gets better. And even if you don't want to read the mortal instruments you can always read the other series if you want to.
@@bookandanimelover4life582 idk people have said that but I really don't think I'll come to remotely like any of them
@@Slow_Internet Just you wait, I didn't love any of the characters at first either but I have come to love and adore them.
Emma: posts a video
Me: clicks faster then the speed of light
I would love to see a video about your all time favorite romances in books. Like your favorite book couples. 😊
we have such similar reading tastes and i know i’ll love anything you recommend, so it’s not a surprise i’ve read and loved every single of these!! this is legit my favorite series list too
I had to watch this the moment I got the notification! My all time favourite series are The Shadowhunter Chronicles, Six of Crows duology and The Rosewood Chronicles ❤️
Thank you for this amazing list! I'm happy you still included Harry Potter and were so honest about your feelings relating to it. I feel the same💕
The arc of a scythe series was the best!!! Loved his writing style
omg i love this blue look! the eyeshadow is beautiful
I usually read standalones but I've been wanting to get more into series so this was perf! Loveeee the outfit btw
THANK YOU!!!!! I've been requesting this video for a while and I'm glad you redid it!!!!
The way I watched your old video last night and was hoping you would make an updated video someday... My Friday just got even better!
first time early, and i love your videos so much thanks i needed this trying to get out of a reading slump
💖Serpent & Dove also, the story is so gripping makes you want to devour the pages💕
the eyeshadow YAASSSS
The Last Hours has blown me out of the water I’ve loved it so much *screams in Chain of Iron*
My favorite series is infernal devices, scythe, truly devious, the diviner’s, heart stopper, good girls guide to murder. I love the infernal devices but I don’t like the mortal instruments it wasn’t god in my opinion but the infernal devices ugh I love them so much especially Tessa & jem.
I LOVE A Good Girls Guide to Murder!
should i read the infernal devices first or the mortal instruments?
I keep hearing mortal instruments isnt as good so should i skip it and read infernal first?
@@ri3869 I recommend reading TID first tbh I read TID before TMI and I think it’s better that way because there’s a lot of references in TMI to TID and since TID occurs before TMI I feel like it just makes more sense to read it first. Also imo TID is wayyyyy better than TMI so yeah I would read TID first!
@@ri3869 that’s what I did read the infernal devices first & then read the mortal instruments & I didn’t like the mortal instruments that much I prefer the infernal devices & chain of gold
I also LOVE the Renegades Series!!! I’m so happy to find someone else who loves them! They are perfection for all the reasons you mentioned.
Def favorite thrillers and favorite contemporaries. Always get so many good recommendations from those types of videos!
I, too, very often refer to the infernal devices as the dark artifices and vice versa. I swear I can’t help myself
Your videos got me to start the Shadowhunter series and I am loving it so thank you!!! 😀
Okay I just need to say that I am obsessed with your makeup look especially in combination with your outfit! Kay I’m gonna go back to watching the video now
Most of these books are my favourite too. I just love how you described the shadowhunter books, I feel the same. Exactly ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are the reason why I picked up the diviners, I just finished it and I LOVED it!! can't wait to read the second book :)
omfg this timing is perfect!! i just left class and now have something to watch!!
Haven't watched this channel for a good while, but glad that you're still going. I love the positive vibe you're always putting out ^_^
Excited!
i got so excited to see this video pop up on my notifications omg hello emma!!
Now I have a lot of new recommendations 😃 need to continue with the shadow and games and scythe series. Can't wait to finally read chain of iron 😃❤️
I’d love an updated favourite standalone video!! It’s so interesting to see how your reading tastes have changed over the years :)
More lists! Yes, great video thanks for being so positive!
I love Emma’s videos. The second I see she posts I watch.
I find it funny that when you mentioned the Shadowhunter Chronicles, you just didn't even mention The Eldest Curses. Lol.
Yes I have been needing series recs!
I've read so many book series I can't choose my love of reading started with the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys Mystery series
Emma it’s so great to see you and to see a new video on my feed!! Hope things are going well !! 😊
Really want to read opal and nev - it has such an interesting premise and I love the 70s setting!
All of Marissa Meyers’ books (series) make up my all time favourites 😂 especially the lunar chronicles! I also enjoyed the legend trilogy, the Anna and the French kiss books. I want to branch out and read more series though, I realize now that I read a lot of standalones but haven’t read many series!
Scythe
Ohh I just got Truly Devious! Now I'm even more excited for it! :)
YES PLEASE to more "favourite of all time" videos ❤️
We are about the same age, but I Just started the Mortal Instruments series this past weekend for the first time! I actually made the decision to go get the first two books after watching your video on how to read the series. Love your channel and can’t wait to binge watch your old videos! I finished the City of Bones like an hour ago and LOVED IT! Finished in 24 hours! Hehe thanks for all your recommendations!
Hola Miss Emma and everyone have a blessed and wonderful Easter ♥️
You absolutely need to make more of these "favorites videos". I re-watch your old ones either every couple of months/every year and have been dying to see more! Would love a ALL TIME FAVORITE STAND-ALONES video, updated favorite mystery/thrillers (one of my top 3 favorite genres) perhaps favorite fantasy novels/series- honestly, Emma, I want ALL the recs. ALL OF 'EM.
I never really read series so this video will help me alot! 💕 thank you!!
Watching your videos give me such happiness
OOH, so my favorite series: diviners, six of crows duology, beartwon series, and I am LOVing the last hours ! Currently reading lady midnight for the first time! :)
❤ The Nevermoor series, cannot wait for the next one!
I just got Chain of Iron finally in the mail yesterday, can't wait to sit down and start reading! The Shadowhunters Chronicles have certainly become an absolute favorite since starting it. My other favorites are The Beautiful Disaster series by Jamie McGuire and The Nightworld series by LJ Smith though it still remains incomplete after all this time.
Currently listening to the diviner’s audiobook, highly recommend so so good!
1:47 OMG I GOT THAT YESTERDAY
I was very grateful to what you said about Harry Potter, the series. I have been struggling so much as well because, yeah, what the author has said did affect the way I feel about it, but it still meant and means so much to me. I feel the fandom is what really makes it special in my eyes. We kind of made it our own
thanks to this video i'm starting to read Cassie's books! so thanks Emma!
I just watched the video of your favorite series a week ago and I was hoping to see a nowadays one and I love it
Waiting for your Chain of Iron reading vlog and review !! ❤️
I absolutely loved scythe and book 2 but struggled so much with book 3! I absolutely love the Nevermoor series!! Gemma Waylon does great as the narrator! I’m 105 pages into Chain of Iron!! So good so far!! I love the Shadowhunter world so much! I also like that you chose to be authentic and keep Harry Potter because Harry Potter also shaped me as a reader! It was done of the first books I read.
wow i’m early! i loved this video Emma!
also i loved truly devious but i haven’t read the vanishing stair yet!
My favorite has been the raven cycle for years now and I’m pretty sure nothing will ever top it 🤧👌
Oh my god samee!!!!!
Ohmygod I have never read them akiwkskwksks
I know Harry Potter so well that I am actually reading the entire series in french to practice ( I don't really know French. But I am Brazilian so the same root as Portuguese. So I can read something and because I know everything that happens in it, it has been a really nice way to practice). Anyway, I just wanted to share that in the French translation, Voldemort's middle name is Elvis..... ELVIS. Tom Elvis Jedusor. I will never get over this! LOL
I know! It’s because it’s Je suis Voldemort instead of I am Lord Voldemort in the chamber of secrets
@@triple..a Yeah I figure that was the reason. But the french version also *loves* to translate the names.
I only imagine the poor translator trying to come up with a name for Lord Voldemort himself so the anagram works out 😂 😂
@@laras.7670 I just read the first few book in French but when I watched the movies in English, I was so confused because of the names. Even the houses have different names in French
HAHAHAHHHA
Haven't watched yet, buzzing to see the list. Just wanted to say that you're looking FIRE. Werk
I just hit the subscribe button just based on your favorite series behind the Shadowhunter Series and Cassie Clare because same. Love love love it!!!
Hi emma just wanted to say i love you so much and you inspire me a lot and i thought you needed to know that :)
I love the video and all the books that came out I read some and, I plan to read the ones I did not know ♥️🤩
I am currently reading Wundersmith (the second book to Nevermoor) and I am adoring the series.
The way you are with the toll is how I am with queen of air and darkness. I haven’t read it yet and I always wanna hide when I see ppl who have because I know it’s good and all, but I’ve never felt ready to pick it up. One day I’ll be wrecked by it, but that day isn’t today.
I missed your videos! I'm glad your back ❤️
My all time favorite series include: Origin + Lux Series by JLA, The Dark Elements trilogy by JLA, Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco, Shatter Me by Taherah Mafi, The Diviners by Libba Bray, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, Shadowhunter book( cant choose just one series)
I grew up with Harry Potter too I'm their exact age and watched the movies and read the books as they came out since I was 11. It's unfortunate bc I will no longer use my money on any of her products any longer but I will always keep and cherish my copies I have. It is really upsetting bc I loved jk rowling as a person as well....
@Faith gosh I'm sorry, it's so frustrating when you find something out about someone that's behind something you care for.
If you subscribe to HBO Max and click on Harry Potter content when it is added, you are using your money to support it. The new series or whatever that's coming in a couple of years. And based on how popular the Snyder cut is, I'm going to guess that when that time comes, you'll cave.
Of course, I expect it'll be the wrong type of Potter show for me personally, but tons of people will dive into it. And hey, it's not like a ton of book series are getting made into movies/TV shows.
YET. Shadow and Bone in April, sure, but that's justt he beginning. Still my point rests, Netflix and Disneyu+ haven't really started tot aap into bringing the magic of series to life but they will soon enough.
Although Netflix for some reason has a show called City of Ghosts which is unrelated and for the same demographic as a book callec City of Ghosts, from one of the most popular current authors, confusion like this isn't fun.
Folk in the Air was bough to be adpated but dunno if it will, afterall Gone by Michael Grant was bought as a TV show in 2013 and in 2021 it hasn't surfaced.
@@poisonedyoyo I don't have Disney plus or HBO max or any of that. And I'm good at not "caving" especially when it comes to my beliefs. I have still yet to buy a single diamond to put anywhere on my body, and I haven't touched Nike in well over 15yrs. When you get to a certain age trust me you don't cave on something as simple as watching a new show or movie so I'm good on that.
In terms of the Shadowhunter Chronicles, I was off work for a month and committed to rereading the entire thing (bar TDA as I'd literally just reread them) and I read them in chronological order, including splitting the short stories and inserting them in between. Honest to god reading them that way was amazing and you found out things as you were meant to and just wow it worked so well. It felt like you were following Magnus and these people that he knew throughout his life because he features in all of them and honestly as someone who adores Magnus, this just became the only way I want to read them.
My current favorite series has. to. be SIX OF CROWSSSSSS!!!! I love it sooo much! I've also read Scythe and it's so gooooooood!!! I'm going to pick up The Diviners very soon!
I love the truly devious series! "Truly devious" was my favorite book of 2020. Loved the dual timeline. I never thought that I would love such types of books but I fell in love with this.
Is there any romance?! I’m interested in reading it but I like some romance with my mystery if you know what I mean haha
@@colettemartin6777 There is a bit of romance in there. But it's not the biggest focus of the book ;-)
I. Absolutely. Love. The. Renegades. Books. Holy. Crap. It's. So. Good.
The way I knew scythe was gonna be on here 😂❤️
26:24 BAHAHAH omg that was so funny, that could just be the channel trailer for emmmabooks
You wonderful human being 😍 Currently binging through all your videos, hehe...
I absolutely loved Scythe and ThunderHead, they were both written amazingly! I loved the world the most, then the characters! I agree, the romance was lacking and I didn't feel any connection really. I thought TH was actually even better than the first book surprisingly! The last book was just alright in my opinion. I thought the build up was done really well, however I thought It dragged a little in the middle. Also, spoiler kind of, it was very anti-climactic in my opinion. It was building to the finale scene since the very beginning (its a big book) and the final scene lasted literally 2 pages. Like come on lol! But, I still absolutely love the series regardless and haven't let the final book tainted it for me.
OMG HEY EMMAA i missed ur videos lol you always make me smile
As soon as i saw her wearing the angelic rune necklace I know i will like her!
AHHHHHHH IM SO EXCITED F
The Lunar Chronicles and Renegades as well as anything from Marissa Meyer are definitely on my favorites list. The Illuminae Files would definitely be on my favorites list as well.
I love Nvermoor as well but also Shannon Messenger's Keeper of the lost cities!
I read truly devious and it was sooooo good
Not me trying to spot gaps on the shelves and figure out which series will be on the list...😆💕
