emma ur hair looks GORGEOUS

@emmiereads Месяц назад

Thank you🥲

@El_Alf Месяц назад

Good afternoon, Emma! 😂 Id like to once more put in my vote for the book spider to be named Webster, both in reference to the dictionary as well as being a web/spider pun. It is silly.

@emmiereads Месяц назад

I love that so much:’) I’m definitely gonna start calling him that!!

@El_Alf Месяц назад

Aw yay 😊❤ I don't know why getting to name a little book spider makes me so happy but it does 😂

@CatherineLambert-fz7pd Месяц назад

Ok that's hilarious

@QuestionsIAskMyself Месяц назад

This is why i love Thriftbooks, chaotic

Ya never know what you’re gonna get😂

"It kind of smells like musty God dust" - legendary quote 😂

@lindamoore3530 Месяц назад

You can return the book with the glittered and nail polished edges. Thrift Books will replace it. I have had no trouble with their customer service people. You have to contact them online first and then they will get back to you. Good Luck. Sorry about your bad day (s).

Nail polish on a book is dastardly 😭

@jiahjeon1111 Месяц назад

ikr? what kind of a nasty little goblin even thought of doing it?

@trishnickles2236 Месяц назад

Nail polish and glitter on a book?? That's just sacrilegious. 😠 Thank you, Emma, for another great video. I hopevhope you feel better soon! 💕💕📚📚

@KMort Месяц назад

I LOVE deckled edges. I am so happy when a book unexpectedly has them. I'm literally keeping a book I don't like because it has them and I bought one edition specifically for them😂

@gcskinner Месяц назад

Yes same!!

@alskdkfjghd Месяц назад

i love deckled edges. it gives the book an old antique feel 😅

@noraevelyn2580 Месяц назад

my anxiety has been so high recently. i have found your videos (and your botm sponsorships!) so comforting and the perfect distraction. thank you, emma!!

@emmiereads Месяц назад

right there with you, sending you all the calming vibes and I'm glad these help in any way

@630jkl Месяц назад

Emma, those books that smell - put them in a box, or pot with baking soda around it and close it over night. In the morning the smell will be gone❤

@emmiereads Месяц назад

thank you so much for the tip I will definitely be trying this!!

@jenniferlovesbooks Месяц назад

Using cat litter also works! 😊

@Kyle4k9 Месяц назад

Ah, Puff the Magic Dragon was part of my childhood, but more in song than book form. "Dragons live forever, not so little boys" was diabolical. Who writes a children's song telling kids they're going to die? Playful dragons are cool. Memento Mori! LOL.

@juliehughes1258 Месяц назад

^^^I agree. When I got a little older, I always associated the song with puffing marijuana and/or chasing the dragon. Like H.R. Pufnstuf. Good grief. Crazy times, man. But I digress. I found Emma from Carolyn Marie and I'm so glad I did. Emma's Canadian accent reminds me of my childhood in Minnesota.

@debraschnitzer8802 23 дня назад

I don't think it is a children's song.

@siennadunn115 Месяц назад

Seven Days in June also has a MC who suffers from chronic migraines (as well as the author herself) and really explores what that’s like, if you’re interested!!

@emmiereads Месяц назад

ooh thank you for letting me know!!

@valquiria_garcia Месяц назад

I second this, plus the book is AMAZING

@larablackbeak 22 дня назад

The tv show of his dark materials is sooo amazing. Great acting and the animal companions are done really well. Really great show and got me so hooked to read the books.

@pallavikrishnan8660 Месяц назад

As long as the lemon trees grow... definitely read it❤.It's set during the Syrian Revolution where our protagonist is 18 year old pharmacy student turned seasonal surgeon (due to the lack of doctors) and we basically get to see the harsh realities of war through the eyes of the civilians she treat. It also follows the themes of love, friendship, loss and the fear generated from it (I'm looking at you, Khawf) ...I believe everyone should read this book❤❤❤

@CatherineLambert-fz7pd Месяц назад

It sounds amazing, I would love to read that

@MarijaLucic-h2o Месяц назад

Yes, it is sad that there is no more representation of migraine. As someone who suffers from chronic migraine, I am constantly looking for representation of migraine in literature, movies, art to see how others live with migraine and to find some meaning in so much pain. I have read Seven Days in June, but the first book I read that represents migraine was When Nietzsche Wept by Irvin D. Yalom and that book is amazing. Hope you get well soon Emma 🍀

@conniecarey5118 Месяц назад

I like the edges as the remind me of really old books 😊🌸

@strongfemalereads7930 Месяц назад

Deckled edges are elite 👌🏻 I will go out of my way to get editions with deckled edges. I love the feel of them. I love that most of the paperbacks are floppy. I love that they feel “softer” than other books. Just 10/10 books all around. More importantly, I hope you feel better soon!

@carolineoneal2862 Месяц назад

You might want to check the TW and controversies with Emily A. Duncan before you read Wicked Saints! It was really atmospheric and the wintery vibes were great, but just wanted to warn you about that!

@user-db5si8eq5m Месяц назад

Video idea : When Caroline comes to visit she chooses 10 books from your bookshelf and you must identify them blindfolded through smell.

@emmiereads Месяц назад

I love this😂

@yelenskareads Месяц назад

😂

@lost_in_the_pines Месяц назад

I love deckled edges. They're just perfectly unperfect😊

@caitlin1008 Месяц назад

They turned His dark materials into a three season tv show and I loved it! I would say it was pretty accurate and the actors did a great job, I recommend! ❤

@sunglasses2130 Месяц назад

Have you read the Left Hand of Darkness? It takes place entirely on a planet called Winter, I think you’d love the ice and snow descriptions

@theolivecompany Месяц назад

About that sweet smell from old books, recently I read that this kind of smell (something like vanilla) is due to paper decomposition (celullose and chemicals on it). Sometimes it could be sweet, sometimes it could be fruity. Hope it helps. 😊

@jennifers4142 Месяц назад

I like the look of deckled edges but I hate trying to turn the pages while reading 😩

@emmiereads Месяц назад

Yesss this!!!

@Pursuitsofmybookishheart Месяц назад

Same!! I love how they look but the touch doesn’t do it for me.

@dappled_blue1608 Месяц назад

I grew up with puff the magic dragon, and now that I’m older I cry when I read it 😭 it’s a great book!

@rs-1331 Месяц назад

As an architect, and an avid reader, it’s fun seeing you read architecture related books!!

@TheStitchess Месяц назад

Thriftbooks my beloved 🥰 them and abebooks have my whole heart. Such a good alternative to amazon used books.

@beefnoodle01 Месяц назад

Amazon actually owns AbeBooks

@PeytonReads Месяц назад

Omg thank you for mentioning how underrepresented chronic migraine rep is in books!! I suffer from chronic migraines and I read a song of wraiths and ruin when it came out and it was so nice to see my pain acknowledged. It really isn’t talked about in books like you said (I’ve read nearly 500 books and could probably count on one hand how many that have touched on it and not even use all the fingers)

@lolathebookworm Месяц назад

Oh my god yes!! His dark materials, the show ended and honestly its the best book to screen adaptation, i love it 💙

@Freakingcurly Месяц назад

I actually didn't like Normal People when I first read it, but after watching the show I completely fell in love with the story. I really really really recommend watching the show!

@lexie.sophocli 19 дней назад

yes to this!! i read the book first too, and a couple months later (after the confusion had worn off) i got to the show.... the screenwriters really showed their stuff with the tv adaptation!!

@anahatsumi2469 Месяц назад

His dark materials is my fav fantasy trilogy and I think you will love it! It’s right up your alley!

@gladouhills9039 Месяц назад

I watched the BBC TV version of "This dark materials" and I really enjoyed it 😁

Don Quixote is wonderful. The Edith Grossman translation is the way to go.

Wow. That copy of Don Quijote looks so cool ❤.

@mariarolo7896 Месяц назад

damn you unlocked a core childhood memory of being obsessed with the golden compass movie! i didn't know it was based on a book, i just found it randomly on tv once and processed to be obsessed over it for a few months, only to then completely forget about it until now

I love the smelling addition of book hauls! We see the cover and read the descriptions, but the smells add up so much more to the experience :)

@Kim-poet Месяц назад

I'm sorry you're sick, Emma! Thank you for persevering and getting the video out for us. Hope the kayaking was fun. Hot water with lemon and honey always helps me when I have a sore throat. My grandma sore by it and it got me through bombardments of virus in the dorms.

@iyousef46 Месяц назад

Since I am relatively early, I want to say that I appreciate you as a person Emma. Also, I am not sure if you read it already, but Pachinko is a generational novel which might interest you. I really enjoyed reading it.

@emmiereads Месяц назад

that is so kind, thank you - and yes I would love to get around to Pachinko!

@martinelanglois3158 Месяц назад

Emma, your book from the cleveland library, reminded me that my massive oak bookcase has a label stating property of Cleveland public library, solid oak and massive , Cleveland is an hr from my home. great haul.

@avni8277 Месяц назад

Oooh I remembered reading the golden compass from my school library and never stopped thinking about it, and then I finished the series in the lockdown. It feels so special everytime I see it mentioned any where!

@becksfizz Месяц назад

Probably the fastest I have ever commented on one of your videos, but I almost started crying just at the words “puff the magic dragon”. My dad used to sing that song to me when I was little and I’m literally fighting tears right now thinking about it and its last few stanzas/lines. Incredible what a kids book/song can do to you, even so many years later. Thank you for making my heart warm with that today 🥹❤

@anyolivna163 Месяц назад

oh my gosh i LOVED Your Letter when it was first releasing on webtoon! It’s soo cool to see it being published i highly recommend it. Felt a lot of feelings because i related so much to the main characters😭

@nerdyreader791 Месяц назад

So happy to see a new video today! I would look up some information about the author of Wicked Saints though, because I remember some allegations against her a few years ago, mainly about bullying authors of color. Some reviews on Goodreads talk about the situation.

@fiddleleaffiction Месяц назад

The cover of the Bionicle book broke open a whole set of memories I forgot were in my brain. I absolutely played with that red Bionicle while my sister battled me with the green Bionicle for hours and hours and hours. We had a whole army of them. Thank you for that 😂 truly hope the book is a masterpiece.

Thrift Books is amazing! As a teacher, it is a great way to stock my classroom library!

@heatherdorsey4770 Месяц назад

Dear Lord! What an awful set from Thrift. I'm so sorry. I've never had any books with smells, poor quality, and nail polished edges.

@MrKatsel Месяц назад

Omg when the architecture book quoted Han Byung-chul I gasped - I just read his work “non-things” this month, it was so so mind-blowingly eye-opening. It’s a philosophical yet practical essay on why the era of smart phones has made us lonely. I think you would really like it ❤

@michaellefaraday Месяц назад

Actually, migraines are mentioned in Philip Pullman's "Book of Dust", a prequel for Lyra's story! As far as I remember, one of the main characters, a young boy, experiences them. He gets a vision of "auras" which he calls "auroras" due to misspelling - and they help him and guide him throughout his adventures. Oh, and you showed a collection of Pullman's books later in the video! What a nice coincidence 😅

@rayashanum9574 Месяц назад

@ParadoxKismet Месяц назад

Summer colds are miserable! Feel better! I really enjoyed your book haul and your reactions 😄. There are some beautiful ones in the haul. I truly love Puff the Magic Dragon. When I was a child I had the record. Yes - I'm that old 🤭. I really like deckle edges that are done well - though perhaps they do not have the same satisfaction with the page flip. My personal experience with buying used online has led me to only purchase ones rated "very good" or "like new". My "good" is often not the same as their "good." Also I am convinced they often don't even give the pages a quick flip to make sure there isn't an issue - like your nail polish edges 🤷‍♀.

@spookylovesham Месяц назад

You probably won’t see this as I’m pretty late but the HDM tv show is very good. The casting is great, it’s devastating and beautiful from the set design to the writing. I haven’t seen it in a while but me and my siblings loved it a lot

@mothumn Месяц назад

you could definitely sand down those pages on wicked saints because wow

@RoseGoldEva 25 дней назад

I'm very excited to see what you will think of "The Discomfort of Evening". The author, who goes by the name Lucas Rijneveld now, is actually originally from the town I am from in The Netherlands. He used to hang out with my older cousin when they were kids/teens, so it's so cool (and also a bit strange) to see his international success nowadays! As to pronouncing his last name, I think it would work the best to use the English "ai" sound for "ij". It's still somewhat different but comes the closest to what it's supposed to sound like in Dutch :).
