I'm looking forward to my own little book haul next week. It's my birthday on 18th May. I've ordered a bunch of things, treating myself, and as they're arriving, I'm wrapping them in paper and string one by one, without looking. At night on my birthday I'm going to have a quiet little private present-to-self opening session by myself. I'm loving being spammed by Emma content!
3:48 i found your channel & got back into reading when you were doing your war and peace vlog. You went on to motivate me to start reading and collecting classics. I remember you recommended the 1st & 2nd KJ Sutton books. The 3rd and 4th weren’t available yet. Love love this series cause of you. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Hi Emma! Viewer from Spain here. There's been kind of a small controversy because The Ministry of Time has been accused of plagiarising and being a rip-off of a spanish TV series with the same name from some years ago. I havn't read the book or plan on, but I have seen the TV series and for the articles I've read, it quite copies and has the same mechanics, and the love story you've mentioned seems like a gender bend remix of the main one in the series. If you end up reading te book it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this! I love your channel and hope you have a great day :)
Omg, Emma, I’m so excited to hear that you’re gonna try to publish your Icefields thesis!!! I was thinking about doing a thesis too but I preferred to grad fast bc I need to start working and everything (I’m graduating this month on Hispanic lit!!) but it’s an experience I would have liked to have ❤ I’m only hoping to do it when I start my masters but I’m kinda seeing myself in you and making a dream come true through you, especially after watching your love for that book grow ❤ I really hope you get it published but I’m pretty sure you will bc I know how talented you are!!
Emma! I don't know if you've been recommended this already but I think you would really like Frieren. I only watched the anime, but I heard the manga is just as good. The protagonist is an elf and it centers the difference in life span with the rest of beings (humans, for example) and how she processes this. It delves into themes of memory, grief, loss, legend vs reality. It's beautiful and it's great ✨
This was simultaneously so sad and so sweet, hearing you talk about baby Emma not knowing how much she'd lose, and blaming yourself was honestly heartbreaking.
I hope you are keeping well and not working too hard. In a recent video you said your writing may get published and that's so wonderful. May the sun shine on everyone and everything you love!❤
I just wanted to thank you for making the "Dreams Lie Beneath" by Rebecca Ross rec in a previous vid of yours because I read it right after seeing you recommend it. You helped me discover a new favourite fantasy author, thanks! Ever since, I have been reading through Ross's bibliography since I enjoy her writing and stories. Now, I have read everything except for the "Divine Rivals" duology and will read it as soon as my audiobook on Libby becomes available.
Omg emma! Today is my birthday, and therefore the first time ive bought books in literally a year lol. I bought Half a Soul (per your reccomendation), Legends & Lattes, Emily Wilde (also per your reccomendation), and like 4 others, im VERY excited!!
It’s funny, I read the broken heart series not knowing what anyone said about it, and I thought the first one was good and bad, i loved the second one - because jacks, and then was so disappointed in the last one. I’m excited to hear your thoughts on ballad of never after, I think it has the best atmosphere.
Im some what new to your channel. Congrats on submitting your paper. I hope it gets published! I would like to hear your thoughts on Lord of the Rings. I haven't read it and dont know a lot about that world and would like to hear your thoughts. It would also be fun to go book thrifting with you and the haul.
such a sweet video & i love my necklace you created<333 one of my fav pieces of jewerlyyyy congrats on the publishing journey and cant wait to hear of your LOTR adventures!!!
So excited for you and the best of luck with the publication of the paper! I’m finishing my postgraduate and to have a paper published sounds like such a dream! So happy that you are able to fulfill it 🫶🏻✨
Hey I really enjoy your videos. Gentle reminder not to shop at indigo/chapters/coles due to the implicitly of ceo Heather and her husband with the ongoing gen0cide in G.
This was the perfect reward for a day full of midterms prep! thank you right back for always bringing such good vibes into all of our lives <3 and I may have to start lord of the rings now hahahaha
Emma, I bought your necklace earlier this year and it is one of my favorite jewelry pieces that I own. Not only does it go with absolutely everything I wear, but it has such special meaning knowing that you and the reading community here wear it too. Almost like a secret club or superpower. I always think of that when I wear it ☺️
If you think about it Roger Ackroyd never got to know who killed him, the man he trusted the most his closest one, Roger didn't even wanted to share anything even with his family memvers but he did with Dr. To think he killed roger is sad.
