What's your most recommended book?

@cynthiafialka 5 месяцев назад

For sci fi, I recommend Project Hail Mary. I know it wasn’t your fav but the three people I’ve told about it, really enjoyed it. I tried to read Dune years ago and thought it was awful. Have seen it in bookstores lately and thought maybe I should give it another try. After listening to you, I’ll quit while I’m ahead. 😂

@AndiBfishbowlwoman 5 месяцев назад

Probably House in the Cerulean Sea because I feel like it can cut across a lot of different genre tastes and preferences.

@Kronkgirl 5 месяцев назад

Shark Heart! I know it won't be everyone's thing but I think everyone should give it a try

@laurenschenck5355 5 месяцев назад

Funny story by Emily Henry ❤❤❤❤❤

@Beach652 5 месяцев назад

I am an unapologetic broken record for my fave: Adrift by Brideau but now I also tell everyone about I Who Have Never Known Men (thanks to you for convincing me to read it) and another weird novella called The English Understand Wool. 😊

I just don't know why.... I read it beacuse of Emily's endless rave about it, but evne though it is a short book I could barely finish it, it is SOOOO BOOOORIIIIING

@jazmynesimington7773 5 месяцев назад

@@LittleDaff yeah I’m still working on it and it’s been months lol I feel like it’s really repetitive so far Like they set up camp then someone dies then they walk again, set up camp someone else dies and I’m just waiting for the ending to come. I hear it’s not a good ending but I’ll know once I finish it lol

@parislove6679 5 месяцев назад

I read I who have never known men because of your recommendation in the beginning of this year and havent been this stunned with a book in ages. When I finished it, I just sat in silence and had to let it sink in for a couple minutes. Was a really emotionally hard book to read. Felt at the same time hopeful and hopeless. But loved it!

@BookswithEmilyFox 5 месяцев назад

It's so crazy that it was published 30 years ago and didn't have much hype. It's so underrated and I want everyone to read it!!

@lef0503 5 месяцев назад

Not me waiting for you to whip out Ice Planet Barbarians in the "guilty pleasure" category 🤣🤣 (I think you reading that was more a guilty pleasure for everyone else TBH). Also, I COMPLETELY agree with you about Dune. That is one of the only scifi books I've read that I like the movie adaptations so much more than the books. Have you read "The Book That Wouldn't Burn" by Mark Lawrence? I'm 25% of the way through it and I feel like you'd like it. Happy Monday! xo

@juliacash8135 5 месяцев назад

I loved the book that wouldn’t burn. It’s one of my absolute favorite books!

@bardhaselmani2877 5 месяцев назад

Hi, Emily! I have been watching your channel for a very very long time and I remember when you’d answer these questions with Harry Potter as the book/series you’ve read the most, or Sam Gamgee being one of your all time favorite characters. It’s nice to see how your answers are changing, because mine have changed too, though still Sam is baby and needs to be protected, but overall our tastes have matured and refined, and it’s nice to see you enjoying more and more books that aren’t the most mainstream, but they’re your stream haha. Keep it up, Emily!

@myriam8190 5 месяцев назад

I picked up Dune thinking I maybe wasn’t going to enjoy it but… I loved it.

@mariushudea2711 3 месяца назад

I actually like Ruby Dixon's books. If I were to recommend books to someone, these days I'd recommend The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson, Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon, Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson, Seveneves by Neil Stephenson. When it comes to series, I'd recommend Jean Johnson's " Theirs Not to Reason Why" series (love the tropes in the series) which is also connected to her "First Salik War" series about humanity's first contact with other alien races. I'd also recommend Dennis E. Taylor's Bobiverse series for something more light and fun to read (though books haves some chapters that aren't so funny))

@pompokkko 4 месяца назад

Agree with the The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo! I randomly pick that up on a pop-up and I was surprised I was hooked. Thinking of buying again as I've donated my copy already few years ago.

@theastaff8197 5 месяцев назад

I read The Will of The Many because of you, I trust your recommendations and our tastes align. And I started wondering if it was going to be a 5* read for me. And it absolutely was, and now I don't know what to do with myself because everything I read just isn't hitting. I spent 3 hours describing the plot to my partner and I just.. man it was so good

@llaiyaz 5 месяцев назад

Does it get better after he arrives to the school? I soft DNFed it because it was just ok for me up until that point and I'm still wondering if I should continue.

@theastaff8197 5 месяцев назад

@llaiyaz I honestly thought when I started reading that I wasn't going to super love it. And I kept going cause I didn't hate it. But I enjoyed the world and the concept. And then... it is so worth the read. I really liked the parts before the school, but I can appreciate that when thats when you know what you are getting yourself into that's what you are expecting. I would say give it another go, get to the school and then see how you feel

@theastaff8197 5 месяцев назад

@@llaiyaz he gets some really fantastic friendships going when he gets yo the school and I was talking to my partner, because the characters just flow together in a really nice authentic way. It doesn't feel forced. And the mystery just gets more fantastic the further you go. The political intrigue. I won't say too much more, but it was really really great

@monicagarcia-diaz9514 5 месяцев назад

I totally ready “I who have never known men” bc you raved so much about it and OMG. It was absolutely mind boggling for being a simple story. LOVED IT.

@mayralex18 5 месяцев назад

Blood over bright heaven cured my reading slump, Absolutely adored it. Also, i love how angry people got (and still get) at your dune review 😂

@Nisha.09g 5 месяцев назад

Of all the books that you have recommended in this video, i have read 11 of them and 5 are in TBR! Just shows how religiously i have been following your recommendations 😅 And the last one that i read was I who have never known men. Absolutely loved it!!❤

@theotherveronica 5 месяцев назад

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books are SO good. i don’t know how to explain it to people because i can’t put a finger on all the things that make it so good.

@aletachristopherson7847 5 месяцев назад

@BookishVicky 5 месяцев назад

I read The Sparrow on your recommendation and absolutely LOVED it, so thanks!!

@kathleenbrashier2579 5 месяцев назад

Blood Over Bright Haven is a much anticipated read for me. Couldn't get hold of it at my library yet, but I got to read a sample. SO good! 😲 That first chapter made me cry a lot. So invested right from the start.

@rhondasruminationsonreading 5 месяцев назад

I read I Who Have Never Known Men last weekend. Wow! I actually vlogged it too, but it mostly consists of me saying, “It’s so interesting!” over and over lol. I didn’t think I’d like it that much because it’s not my usual genre, but it was mind-blowing! The book I tend to recommend everyone read is Watership Down by Richard Adams. It is my all-time favourite book. I know it’s about rabbits, lol, but I adore the characters and it’s full of action and I love the world he creates with their mythology.

@muppetsstoogesfan1 5 месяцев назад

Highly recommend Funny Boy: The Richard Hunt Biography by Jessica Max Stein. Hunt was one of the OG core Muppet performers. Scooter, Beaker, Janice, Statler, Sweetums. Nobody has really done a deep dive into his life before.

@LibrariesandLattes 5 месяцев назад

Book Lovers and Beach Read are probably my favorite contemporary romances! Some books I always recommend are The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Where the Crawdads Sing, The Hunger Games/Catching Fire, Daisy Jones and The Six, The Nightingale, and House in the Cerulean Sea!

@christinedugas3089 5 месяцев назад

Love the description of The Sparrow as A Little Life in space! I remember you've read 3-Body Problem, which I'm about to finish today. Are you planning on watching the series when it starts later this week?

@kelleysullivan8908 5 месяцев назад

Razorblade Tears is one of the best books I read last year. 5+++ stars

@mariac__as 5 месяцев назад

I really love when you just randomly pick up a book that you don't even knew anything before or wasn't in your radar and it ends up being a favorite. Like you with I who have never known men. It happened to me with Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto and more recently with Gods of Jade and Shadow. Also, I read a while back Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson and it was okay but I didn't like it that much because I thought the characters were a bit superficial. Now the Stormlight Archive sounds interesting, is it better in that sense? Emily is making me consider reading that, The will of the many and Blood over Bright Haven 😅

@Lottie842 5 месяцев назад

I read Divine Rivals and enjoyed it. It’s part of a duology, which makes it an easier series to finish. 😅

@muppetsstoogesfan1 5 месяцев назад

The Secrets Of Droon by Tony Abbott is one of my fav series. Incredible world building and character arcs. The cover artwork is gorgeous. It might be for kids but still deserves some attention. I don't understand how it hasn't been adapted for tv yet. It's perfect for the medium.

@martinelanglois3158 5 месяцев назад

" ...give me a few more years..." 😂 Could not agree with you more.

@ktglick 5 месяцев назад

I feel the exact same way about the “Evelyn” books, and had the same experience as you. I read and enjoyed them when they were in favor and now that there’s backlash, I reread and yeah, I can see the criticisms but I still like them.

I totally hear what you’re saying about Dune being slow paced and dry (pun intended). That said, if you hated Paul’s character development in the book but liked the earlier themes/ideas, you may get something out of the second book (Dune Messiah). Or just wait until the third movie comes out - something to consider!

I do think you are wrong about Dune. I would have expected that you would have been very intrigued by the Bene Gesserit. I might suggest that you listen to some youtube videos that do detailed summaries of the series to get more about them. As the series develops we learn more and more about them, and I really think that they would speak to your interest in feminist prose. The summaries might be adequate for the purpose of enjoying the idea of the sisters without the mechanics of Frank Herbert's writing that you really disliked. Or, maybe wait until the TV series about them comes out. Might get you the good stuff? In contrast, I read /I Who Have Never Known Men/ on your recommendation. I found the premise intriguing - perhaps as intriguing as I have in other of my favorite sci-fi novels. However, for me the prose in English was so dry that I had trouble staying engaged and motivated to keep with it. I understood that the narrator was emotionally altered by the circumstances of her upbringing. For me, though, I wondered if it would have had more impact were it not a first person perspective.

I love Dune with all my heart and soul BUT a blasphemous opinion I have is that Wheel of Time sucks ass. Terrible. And I love lots of high epic fantasy but NOT WoT.

I bought I who have never known men because it has been mentioned so many times and I got curious, but it was the worst read of 2023 for me :D mild spoiler: NOTHING HAPPENS - and the writing wasn't good enough to divert my mind from the .. nothingness
