planning out what to read in winter ❄️ december tbr 

I used to be a reader and somewhere along the way, I stopped reading. I want to be a reader again and I try but I keep failing to make it a habit. The more I watch these vlogs, the more I feel motivated to read so thanks for that. Hopefully, I can call myself a reader soon.

Where i live it never snows, i have never seen snow irl atleast i can enjoy the cozy vibes .😊

“So this is getting a little out of control”-famous last words of all bibliophiles 😂 But we believe in you Emma! My winter tbr so far: Wuthering Heights (my favourite and one I love to read this time of year), War and Peace (Russian classics are perfect for the colder months imo), Melmoth, His Dark Materials, Royal Assassin (Hobb is so cosy to me), and The Hundred and One Dalmatians (which I read every year on Christmas Day) ❄️

You're so consistent when it comes to posting. Always looking forward to your videos! Thanks for making our days better, Emma :) you deserve the world! xoxo Also for December TBR, if you have never read it, I'd really recommend A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett! It's a classic novel, a touching story about discrimination and class. Edit: since I discovered that you have read A Little Princess, then I'd recommend A Little Life (Hanya Yanagihara), although it has SO MANY trigger warnings. It would be a perfect gloomy book to read in the winter, nonetheless. Girls in the Dark or Ankaku Joshi (Akiyoshi Rikako) is a perfect murder mystery to read in the winter - I really did not expect the plot twist at all. Last recommendation would be Hiroshima Joe (Martin Booth), this one is VERY disturbing, even more so than A Little Life (it has many trigger warnings as well, that I am hesitant to type here). The main character is not meant to be likable - and I find one scene at the end of the book particularly disturbing that I had to put the book down, but it was so devastating and it had the message that wars bring nothing but pain and trauma.

I read Dune last month. I loved it and finished it in like 4 days! I know everyone’s had very different opinions but definitely recommend people try it

I used to read A Christmas Carol every year before Christmas. It's so cozy and nostalgic 🥰

This blazer is so cute :)

I'm so envious, I live in a tropical country all my life, never experienced winter at all... AHHHHHHHHH always imagined a perfect wintery night to be buried under a soft blanket on a cozy sofa in front of a fireplace with a book on my lap and some hot cocoa on one hand...

I love the winter too partly because I don’t feel guilty about never leaving the house 🤣 ❄️The snow here keeps melting - hoping this week it will start sticking around and I can get some cozy reading vibes

yesss!! i absolutely loved these 23 magical wintry minutes with you emmie

That jacket and lipstick combo is so cute I can’t even 💅

The Grand Budapest Hotel was a good watch,and Ralph Fiennes directed a very enjoyable biopic of the ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev:White Crow.❤️

perfect, cozy video for night.

Ur room is so incredibly cozy

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Dune (book and movie)! Also, every time you pass the Eye of the World I hope you pick it up; it's such a fascinating series! I'm reading Brothers Karamazov this December :)

Emma I love your happiness at it snowing. I never see snow in Australia like you have, I think it would be so wonderful to be in Toronto on a snowy day and to see the world turn into a Christmas card.

The snow in England is not much but its sooooo cold. I got the Enchanted Sonata / Snow and Rose for Christmas presents and I WANT THEM !!

Love your tbr, Emma! The Enchanted Sonata, Midnight in Everwood and, of course, A Christmas Carol are in my list too. I'll love to see the video about the Agatha's book! Wish i could have a winter like yours in Rio!💖❄🎄✨

My Dec TBR is: -Free Lunch (for school) -Into the Wild (for school) -Piranesi -The Secret History -Cemetery Boys -The Body -Six of Crows -Mob Psycho 100 vols. 3-7 -The Girl Who Leapt Through Time -Ghosted in La vol. 3 -A Wrinkle in Time -The Boundless -A Court of Thorns and Roses -The Night Circus -Benevolent Sisters of Charity (OTGW)

Pretty rainy where this cat lives - cold and rainy which is very perfect for sleeping on books - something cats have an affinity for, obviously. Enjoying "Chill Tidings - Dark tales of the Christmas season" at the moment after finishing "Spirit of the Season". Next short story collection will be "Sunless Solstice". "Christmas Carol" is a reread each Yule time - and it is always glorious. Planning is not something cats do very much - so December will tell what books to enjoy - random, yes random is a very precious word for this cat. That and warm blankets of course. Teeth and Mists

December tbr (May change because I'm a spontaneous mood reader haha): -Jane Eyre (carried over from November) -The Afterlife of Holly Chase - it's a retelling of A Christmas Carol! -A Christmas Carol -The Visit (book for school) -They Both Die at the End -A Conjuring of Light (carried over from October because I never continued it) I'd also love to get to "Gilded" by Marissa Meyer and "Call Down the Hawk" by Maggie Stiefvater if I have the time!

Oh my gosh I looove the snow I live in the tropics so no snow here but winter is still my fave season whenever I get to travel to the north

Chess and Confusion are my two favourite Zweig books!!! So good.

ZWEIG!! We vote for Zweig!! You won't regret it!! ❄️

💚 it's good to see you.

I’m glad you are read book of the month.

AHHHHH did I just spot the kitchen princess??! That series was my entire childhood in middle school ❤️❤️🥺

Just finished reading The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey and really liked it! It's not my usual type of book but I ended up binge reading it in 3 days and rating 4 stars ❄🌲

lol I'm literally on page 136 of Dune myself! Bought it as a self birthday gift, after watching the movie I just couldn't stop myself from reading the book. Welcome to the Dune-verse Emma!

I'm currently reading 'El Principe de la Niebla' and 'Le Grand Meaulnes' and about to go onto 'Pride and Prejudice. ~I speak Spanish so I'm reading the first one to keep my Spanish fresh and I'm learning French so I'm reading a simplified version of the French classic of the same name.

Winter season,a time to be indoors

The hits keep coming! I'm still not caught up with your backlog of videos this week, post concussion syndrome and still killing it with the work ethic! Loving it!

Yay! Cannot wait to hear your thoughts on for the Wolf 🥰

You're reading Dune 🥺 Yay! ♥️

you're literally the one channel i look forward to every night like i just wake up to see if you have uploaded and my night will immediately be better :) my current reads are 100 Years of Solitude and I'm listening to the Born A Crime audiobook

your vibe is just so comforting

Emma, your videos are always so cozy! Pure perfection! ❤️

I love that you post so much it makes me happy

You always inspires me to read I'm also currently looking for a book that perfect for Christmas and you posted this video. You always made our day Emmie. I love your videos, it's very very beautiful and cozy.

This video just made my night. What a great start to the weekend. Thank you for the cosy vibes 🥰

There’s seriously nothing better than starting my morning with a new video from Emma!!

Winter, that Christmas vibe

This vid is everything. Thank you for the recommendations and the gezelligheid and your calm, happy spirit! 🥰

Emmaaaa make up looks so good on you!!!

The winter vibes in this video are inmaculate

You're videos are really amazing and i really look forward to watching them whenever they come out. You've honestly been really helpful in getting me properly into reading this year! If I'm in a bad mood, you're one of those channels I always go to to help cheer me up. (Also, very happy you've started Dune - one of my all time favourites. Hope you like it!)

I loved this TBR - I also ordered Stella’s Reading Journal, can’t wait to get it! Xo

This was easily my most anticipated video

im really excited to start with my december tbr, its my birthday month as well so im planning on re-reading my favorite books and new some books that i think will soon join my list of favorites

Hey, I hope you're doing well ... Just wanted you to know that your vlogs feels like a huge & warm hug to me =). Thank you for making these cozy videos. wish you all the best💙🦋

Another video that has made my day. You never fail to make me smile or brighten my day, I love you and I cannot wait to pick up some of the books you have spoken about in this video. You are so inspirational ♥️⭐

your videos are like so cozy. I really love them, specially now that I'm in starting my final exams in college and I'm so stressed. thank you

i love how you made dune seem almost cozy i have 86 pages left and it’s one of my favorite books ever

I've allowed myself a break from books for the next few weeks, because I've put so much of my energy into reading this year. feels refreshing! can't wait to read some of these though, thanks for the recs!

Yay to solving another Cristie book on RU-vid!

There is so much joy in choosing Christmas reads or just planning anything in general for December. Such a beautiful month even though I live in a tropical area and there is no winter here

Nicely decorated

Yes!!! This is what I'm waiting for❤❤❤

What a lovely video !

These videos are amazinggg

I loved For the Wolf and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

For the Wolf sounds amazing! I just saw it was on sale as an ebook. Immediately bought it. I'll either read it in December or January. My TBR pile is growing and growing.

I’m reading Hercule Poirot Christmas too I’m so excited for it!

Love the jacket your wearing

I will be having 2 hot trash and 2 classics this months if I can. The hot trash is Bird Box and Angels and demons. I will be reading Pride and Prejudice and Crime and Punishment as well. So I think some hot trash will keep my mind in control in between.

You're litterally my comfort RU-vidr, your videos bring me so much warmth and happiness

I picked up For the Wolf recently and am thrilled you have that on your TBR. As a lover of fairy tale adaptations, I am excited to read it too!

love these videos!!

Yay! Saw this just after coming back from studying for tests. Thanks for posting at such immaculte time I plan to read Rebecca this month, I have already started it and I'm enjoying it so far. Hope you have a lovely day!

I love "the castle in the snow" by Kerstin Gier, especially because I am from switzerland and I used to work in a hotel. I try to read this book every year around christmas. Thank you for all your amazing videos!

So good

i wish we had snow here already as well! can´t wait for the first snow! i am not a big chistmas themed book reader but i decided to read A Christmas Carol this month, very much looking forward to it. i have read Dune recently and even tho it was a bit complex at times, i ended up really enjoying it, especially the politics and intrigues. merry reading!

I just love it here🥰💘

i just love you and your little book videos. I'm reading these book side by side with you. take care:)

I love your videos, you always give very good book recommendations and you made me fall in love with reading again :)

I'm trying to cram in a bunch of 2021 releases before the end of the year! I'm planning on reading Klara and the Sun, My Heart is a Chainsaw, Things have gotten worse since we last spoke, and She Drives me Crazy!! Then in January, I want to try to read more classics!

these are such cozy reads! i've been looking for snowy-set stories since I live in a place that does not get snow, so I'm def gonna try and pick up Midnight in Everwood and The Enchanted Sonata. I'm also trying to finish Dune this December, and start The Brothers Karamazov just because I think winter is the perfect season to read long russian classics.

Also you look lovely Emma, everything about your look works beautifully for you❤️

I just bought Hercule Poirot’s Christmas!! Looking forward to read it

As someone who doesn't like the cold, winter is not my favorite season but I can't deny that the vibes are wholesome

Oh my goodness - I spot The Ice Palace on your shelf. I read this in summer (haha) but I felt like I was in the depths of a Norwegian winter. Breathtakingly beautiful: you’ve got to read it!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also reading dune for the first time this month

I'm so excited for all the wintry and magical reads! and this was such a lovely way to start my birthday ❤❤❤

I'm quite new to your channel. I'm so enjoying your vibe. So positive, realistic and I find your taste seems to work with mine. Love your videos! 🌻 I'm picking up Jane Eyre after finishing The Silent Patient. Looking forward to getting back into a classic.

I'm so happy you're enjoying Dune. I read it around this time last year and it instantly became my favorite book of all time. Actually it brought back my love of reading, not exaggerating at all. It kind of breaks my heart when my favorite booktubers dislike it for the exact same reasons that i love it lol(I still respect their opinion, of course). If you really get into it, I'd love an analysis video as well, I always enjoy hearing other people's interpretations.

better to be smooth on that transition from dune to wintry reads, that could be a thermal shock 😂

Your videos constantly get me out of a reading slump

Know what else has those winter vibes that takes place in a hotel? The Shining lol

Cannot wait for the Agatha video!!!!

i heard a romance called the "mistletoe motive" is a really good christmas romance!

So exited to see Stefan Zweig in your shelf! I love his writing (altough because I am german, i never read a translation) and especially chess is an astonishing book and a nice start into his literature!

Omg A Christmas Carol!! I'm totally participating this month🥰🥰

Next Friday I have a final exam and then I'm free! So exciting to think about all the books I'm gonna read! Thanks for the recs 💜

that was so sweat and heartwarming. i am currently reading wuthering heights with looks good for december, i will read christmas carol with you guys and i am excited for this, i wanna read Hercule Poirot's Christmas too, an also daddy long legs. this is my plan for december >

Great energy, keep it up

Loved Dune. Currently reading Dune Messiah as a follow up!

Such a cozy video! I love snowy days and rainy ones too. They are my faves. ok my tbr is a Christmas Carol ( hopefully it comes in on time), currently reading the Dark Shadows day book and I'm loving it ( if you're a fan of the original Dark Shadows series it's a great and fun read! 🥰🦇). Then after that I want to start Gone with the Wind and that should take me through December into January. Then in January I want to read the sequel to Gone with the Wind which is Scarlett and then the newest book in the Outlander series Go tell the Bees that I'm gone. Whew! Big books on this list but I'm so looking forward to them for cozy season! Sending love and hugs!! 🥰❤️💚

love the wintery vibes of your tbr! i gotta make a move on my dec tbr! lol :)

Enjoy your videos, new subscriber. My favorite month to read is Dec. also! I always have a cup (mug) of tea when I read. I just finished a Jenny Colgan book "The Christmas Bookshop" it was hard to get into for the reason you mentioned, but I was glad I finished it. Really liked it. Thought her very first one was good. The name escapes me. Thanks!

My only definite Christmas (re-)read planned is The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. :) Fantasy-Santa goes missing, so Death has to take over his job and deliver all the presents. Other than that, my only December plans are One Hundred Years of Solitude, Mr Fox by Helen Oyeyemi, and Shadow and Claw by Gene Wolfe.
