how many books can I read in a day? 24 HOUR READATHON VLOG 

Finished monte cristo last month (loved it) and decided to dive headfirst into war and peace. Wish me luck lmao

I'm not sure how much I could read in 24 hours because I never get 24 hours without a hundred things to do, lol. Sounds like such a great way to spend the day. Always love the videos, Emma--just started "Nervous Conditions" for Book Club and find it very intriguing. Have a great week!

Grendel was so cute when you were doing the yoga. I have a tabby cat and she is very affectionate and into everything! I have her sister, a white cat, who is so quiet and serene. Cats definitely do their own thing! 😻

I started following your channel a couple of months ago and really love your content. I love how diverse your reading choices are as well as the variety of genres. I love the obvious and abundant joy you find in books which is evident in your content and something I relate a lot with. I love the calming and soothing vibes of your videos as well. Your voice is so soothing and relaxing that it adds to the cosy ambiance. Have a lovely day!

Loved this so much. ❤ Fun fact: In economics, there's a concept of Veblen goods named after Thorstein Veblen! Veblen goods are items for which demand inceeases even as the price increases, in contradiction to the normal demand-supply theory. They're also typically high-quality goods that are a status symbol. Veblen goods are generally sought after by affluent consumers. Examples include luxury cars, luxury watch brands, even some sneakers etc!

The cat yoga was ADORABLE.

I haven't read a lot from Junji Ito, but Uzumaki is such a good book. Creepy, intriguing and easy to go through. I highly recommend it, and I'm going to get a copy of Cat Diary. Your videos are so wholesome, thank you.

Grendel is too cute. I’m glad you’re sticking with the name, it seems to fit him well. I still haven’t done a 24 hour readathon, it looks so fun 😊

The constant questioning of what you are in the mood for is exactly how I've been feeling for the past month. I want to read so much, but with uni imposing reading material again I have just been starting a million books and evetually just putting them all down... I just wanted to say it is great seeing how much happier you look ever since you got Grendel! As always, love having your videos keeping me company🥰

Love the long videos! I should do a little readathon soon myself :)

This is genuinely my favorite channel on youtube. Thanks Emma for introducing and inspiring me to read so many different genres of books ❤

Hi, Emma, What a perfect way to spend a day with Calcifer and Grendl! I love the idea of a monthly readathon, though I love all of your vlogs and videos, I especially enjoy the ones where you review several books. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful cats with us and please take good care of yourself. Be well. 💕💕

This is exactly what I needed. I've been so stressed because of my finals and tomorrow I am going to be writing my first paper. (Nervous) but your video is definitely going to help me feel better. Thank you so much.❣️

These readathons are so much fun. I had loved Yon & Mu and was glad to see you laugh out loud. Have a great week! 🐈‍⬛🐈

I love these types of videos - they're so calming and encouraging. Thanks for sharing!

Emma has summoned us for another readathon

OMG, so excited about binge watching this channel after binge reading A LOT after a LOT of college exams 😍 (love the cats )

Yeeessss, I love these ahahah Also, this video is clearly a sign to change my shelf arrangement

so so happy to hear from you queen ily

Ce serait génial que tu fasses une vidéo "my good dates as Book recs" ! Tes vidéos me font toujours sourire et m'inspirent, merci pour ça ! ❤️

Hi Emma, ​​love your videos as always! I am wondering if you will make an updated version of your physical TBR list. It would be cool to see your progress.❤️

i love the 24hrs readathon too!!! getting them once a month sounds too good to be true 😩😩😩

emma! i know how much you love cats. you will definitely enjoy the witches of olderea series. the second book has more cats, a tabby cat, a black cat, and a witch who could speak to them. its super lovely

I love that hairstyle you had on at the beginning! It's beautiful on you!!❤❤

I’ve been meaning to read conspicuously consumption so I was glad to see it in this vlog!

Hey Emma, thanks for the video! I really want to do a readathon myself, I just got a big book haul over the holidays. Have you ever done a "date with a book"? (you buy a pre packaged book with very little information of what's inside) it might be cool to do one and try to sit down and read it within a day 🤔

Brilliant, I'm in a bit of a slump at the moment so I could definitely use the motivation 😅

Your video's are so comforting 💚

Great vlog. Happy Spring!🌈🌷🍄☕📚🫖

Love this series so much! Your range of reading genres inspires me to expand mine! I haven't read the Inheritance Games, but if you're looking for a series with a wonderful mystery, I highly recommend The Blackthorn Key series by Kevin Sands!! It's middle grade, but every single book is full of complicated puzzles and riddles and clues that are constantly entertaining and intelligent. All three main characters are wonderful and very developed, and the plot twists are crazy! It's about an apothecary's apprentice and it's set in the 1600s in England. My mom read every single one aloud to me and my brother over the past few years :) Adore your videos, they bring me so much calm when my life is stressful

I was recommended "The Count of Monte Cristo" by a friend, got it as a Christmas gift a few years back, and it was one of those books that fundamentally changed the way I thought.

Just started reading Middlemarch to keep up with the Game of Tomes schedule. The Count of Monte Cristo was a 5⭐ for suuuuure ❤

Sometimes, you just need a light, entertaining read. And if that means you start another series, then you start another series. No judgement. Sometimes, that's what you need! :)

i love that your videos are long🤌🏻🤌🏻✨✨✨

You inspire me to read thank you sooo much❤

Calcifer and Grendel remain the cutest (with the exception of my cat, of course).

Junji Ito is incredibly enjoyable to read. Like yourself, Frankenstein is one of, if not my favorite, book of all time and you need to check out Ito’s Frankenstein

Happy Grammar Day Emmie! To all Lit Majors, its your're day! Your cats are great. I'm keeping Ito's Cat Diary book in mind as a good cat lover gift.

Your video always so relaxing

I havent read cat diary yet but junji ito is so great, you should definitely read uzumaki next for something longer.

It’s the Canada Reads competition next week!! My favourite event 🤓 do you follow it? I’ve only read one of the books this year, I usually read them all before the debates so I don’t know who will win! Love the cats, reading with my fluffy tuxedo right now 🐈‍⬛

I’m not sure how or why i wasnt getting notifications. But I have a wonderful amount of binging to do 😅

Good morning Emmie happy Monday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

Grendel biting Cat Diary of all books was so perfect. LOL.

Seeing your two cats playing while reading a cat manga was just too perfect 👌🏻

I really liked "A Thousand Steps Into Night" it's very fast and fun! "A Living Soul" looks cool, my next Swedish book is "The Lost Village" by Camilla Sten. My fav Iclandic author is Yrsa Sigurdardottir, she is infreakingcreadible.

The yoga! My heart! Oh my gosh, I would spend the entire yoga session laughing if that happened to me. So cute!

Is here a better feeling than browsing your own shelves and seeing what jumps out at you? ❤ Two shorter works I'd recommend to you. Like Death by Guy de Maupassant, a student of Flaubert, and very much in the vein of Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina. Also, All the Horses of Iceland by Sarah Tolmie.

Uzumake by Junji Ito was my first of his works- and I loved it!!

Hey Emma I really enjoyed the video but could you please tell me where you got the grey zip up sweater I’ve been looking for one just like that!

YAY A NEW VIDEO

Oh my Grendal is a total cuddle bug I just love him 😊

I definitely recommend Uzumaki by Junji Ito, it made me sooo dizzy (in the best way).

Grendel Yoga was so stinkin adorable!

Hi Emma! Such a fun video, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Actually for Agent of the Four Seasons, the novel is the only media the story is currently in👍🏼 if there is a manga it just has a similar name, but it's not the same author or story

I'm not sure if one piece is for you because of the amount of worldbuilding and just information in general but I think you would love at least the first 400 chapters so much! Its so sweet and you will laugh SO MUCH. I swear, there hasnt been a book ive ever laughed or/and cried as much as this one. If you reach saga in chapter 400 you will cry for 3 days straight, be abscessed with it and just love it with all your heart so... I think you would like it

Emma was so beautiful (like she's always, of course) but sooo beautiful in this video!!

A Junji Ito 24hr readathon will mess with your mind, I’d love to see you check out more of his stuff!!

Yea, I'll probably still give Seasons a go. Also, some of your issues may be translation problems because sadly professional translation companies do mess things up sometimes.

One of Junji Ito's other works is a manga adaptation of Frankenstein

This is the second day in a row that I've gotten a readathon video from someone... Was there a list of readathon going on that I just missed lmao 😂😂😂

Yes, I think I know what you mean when you describe yourself as being strangely interested in reading Veblen. Maybe a lot of us in BookTube feel guilty about having too little non-fiction in our diets? And also I agree about there being plenty of time eventually to get (back) to Nietzsche, who I think was just a nut - but that's my problem, right? Anyway, it's very nice to see you again and I'm looking forward to the GoT show on the Count.

Saw The Bell Jar in your shelf. I'm curious do you also read poetry books? Like for fun?

I’m so glad you have two sweet baby heathen children now because it means double the cat content 🫶

Hey Emma, have you read Love In The Time of the Cholera by Garcia Marquez? Love your channel and Calcifer!!!! ❤

i love Junji 😭

I loved so much Of love and other demons! I've read a lot of García Marquez and honestly he doesn' have a bad book. He just doesn't.

Did you read the end writing in yon and mu? It's like a update after the manga and it's really sad.

Just wondering: What is a five star read for you?

You're cat loves you so much.❤

Hey Emma! I love those blue classics, they're so pretty. Can I please know where you got them from? I saw "The ice palace" from that set and I want to read it so might as well get the all books if it's a set right?😂 (If anybody else knows the name of it and where I can get it, please feel free to tell me :) )

How did your hair grow so much ?? How often do you wash them ? Do you put anything daily (cream, oil) ?

slay queeeeeen

Omg i wrote essays on veblen in my history degree the man basically invented the concept of leisure time.... So interesting

please check out uzumaki by junji ito

Have you ever heard of Junji Ito's Frankenstein? I haven't, but I'd like to 😮

Junji Ito: Artwork. You might like "Twisted Visions". Reading? "No Longer Human".

immediately added cat diary to my tbr

if you want more cat mangas, i HIGHLY recommend Cat Gamer, for a funny, relaxing and adoorable read!!!

Great stretch do more of it

Our erudite cat mom's literary taste is exceeded only by her soft voice and cute haircut!

Cat diary is nothing like the rest of Junji Itos stuff - if anyone is scared of his usual, it's a fun way to experience the art.

came for the book content, stayed for the cat content 🤩

El conde de Monte Cristo, 😎

I predict that you will read at least six books in 24 hours before you start so let’s see how you go ❤❤❤

That small bit of a Conspicuous Consumption that you read made me yawn like ten times 😀

I love how cats see a book and just feel the need to STOMP AND CHOMP

the four seasons book is giving me guardian by priest, it is so choppy and confusing to me and i didn’t like it. there are also references that i didn’t feel were explained enough because it is translated from another language. it made me sad to not like it🥺

The way I screamed when I saw the title of this video😅. I was in a restaurant

Wow. I can't read much past 2-3 hours without taking a break. I get antsy.

I wanted to try a 24 hour readathon but i cant sit straight doing something all this time , i have to do a million things all the time lol

I can't sit with a book for an hour straight without doing short breaks or getting distracted. 24h marathon would be a torture for me.

Will you cut your bangs again?

YOU HAVE 2 CATS WTF DID I MISS

Unplanned 24 hour readathon how dare you spoil us

yeah dont eat or sell centipede meat

Yep, as soon as i heard "its a satire..." I immediately know that it's going to be boring.😂😂 But the topics itself is really interesting though

Read quran translation, there u get to know moral stories, accurate history and modern science facts, poetic richness, expressive power and eloquence. The greatest and perfect book to be read in our life.

Re Junji Ito: I think Yon and Mu is really the only funny-horror combination by Junji Ito. The other ones I read from him are just straight up horror. I can recommend Shiver. ü

I’ve seen videos where people read for 24 hours, not necessarily straight 24 hours, but they pause their timer when they need to do something else and they just continue the timer when they are reading. While i’m curious howmany books i can read in that 24 hours, i’m now also curious how many days can i complete it that 24 hours. i bet a week isnt enough 🥲
