Thank you for sharing your Catholic faith and having Catholic classics on your TBR!!
Oh my gosh, I TOTALLY want to do this tag. You have inspired me to start reading again about two years ago. Thanks to you I have joined two book clubs and have made reading a fun priority. Thank you and I am going to try to film this for an upcoming video. :)
Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë is so good. The main character, Agnes, is such a sweetheart. I think this is a great tag!
I recently got into classic and every time I search they're always a list of the same books. Same goes to the classic books youtubers they are always recommending the same variety. You are the only one that mentioned books that I did not encounter during my search. haha thank you!
Count of Monte Cristi is so good.was my favorite in high school,and stll is.hope you achieved your goal last year
EVELYN WAUGH wrote a life of Edmond Champion. If you love English history and Catholicism...its a MUST!!!!
LOVE this video!! I am Lit Grad Student, my last semester is this Spring. I am taking a British Comic class where we will be reading Wodehouse and Waugh. The professor did his dissertation on Evelyn Waugh, so I am sure it will be a great class. I am slowly building up my list of classics and I am excited to try some of these.
Pink Punk Classroom ohhh that sounds like such a cool class! I love Wodehouse, and I’m looking forward to getting to know Waugh better!
PG Wodehouse - Yes!! Love the Jeeves Stories - Bertie is a hoot. I try to find one in each used book store I visit.
hard agree re: Mark Twain's endearing narrative voice. love this selection! and a decade feels like a manageable time frame for a tortoise like me. can't wait to do this tag :D
Fab video and fab picks Emma 💕
My soul reading goal for the decade ahead is to finally get through Don Quixote in its entirety. I have started it about 4 times, have enjoyed the beginning each and every time, but it always gets shelved for something else 😅 So flipping big. Such a commitment 😅
As a fellow Twain nut and as someone who would dearly love to get her hands on all 3 volumes of his autobiography (but whose purse doesn't quite stretch that far) I can highly, highly, highly recommend the version that was put out by 'Harper Perennial Modern Classics' in 2013. It's a condensed edition, edited by Charles Neider. It still comes in at a hefty 560 pages, but it covers the big moments of his life and I believe it is the first edition of his autobiographical writings to be put in chronological order, which made it all the more enjoyable to dive into.
I also recommend seeking out the biography 'Mark Twain: Man in White: The Grand Adventure of his Final Years' by Michael Shelden. I read it earlier this year and it was superb 😉 x
Lee Mac Ohh thanks for the Twain tips and good luck with Don Quixote! I read it in college and liked it - it’s always lurking at the back of my TBR as something I’d like to reread though!
I just read The Count of Monte Cristo in 2019! It was my favorite read of the year :)
That was a lovely video. You always look very happy and smiling and I needed that today, so thank you Emma.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Enjoyed this Video - A lot of good books Emma. I love Reading Classics myself.
Happy Reading 🔰
Ahh, Emma! I just love your book videos. I’ve been enjoying your vlog videos, as well-particularly Austria! The Sound of Music is a favorite
Christy Luis Reviews: Books Worth Your Time Thank you so much for watching! 😄 I’m having a rough time with Midnight’s Children too - there have been some interesting lines and images, but I’m only 150 page in, and it’s really dragging. 😐 I might put it aside and try again sometime in the future.
I will be revisiting Rain of Gold by my favorite author Victor Villaseñor. This book is very relatable. I can connect with my families migration into the United States. Although this book has a setting during the Mexican Revolution (early 1900’s) I enjoyed every bit of it. I also will be reading the Call the Midwife series. The books are based on a nurse during the 1940’s who stayed with nuns and delivered babies in East London. The best part is these stories are real.
Just found your channel and I love it! I would highly recommend you some Serbian classics (Ivo Andric for example) , since you love discovering other cultures :)
Such a fun video, Emma! I wish you luck on your reading endeavors! Anna Karenina is such a favorite of mine.
Kate Howe Thanks Kate!! 😊
You are right about the palaces in South Korea. You can typically rent a hanbok at a vendor near to the palace. Our children are Korean and we have visited multiple times. Seoul is amazing. The food is fantastic. We enjoy KDramas and KPop, as well. We love Korea.
Jennifer Downs That sounds so cool, I definitely want to visit!
I LOVE Pilgrim's Progress. I think you will really enjoy it. I have to do this tag! I was compiling my list of classics for 2020 and they are all massive books. I know I won't finish them all next year so a decade long list seems appropriate.
I just saw ur video with ur bros when u introduced them to BTS. But I subscribed because your channel says bookishprincess. 🥰🥰 Love to learn from you. Will make time to check your previous vids.
I LOVE historical Asian dramas. They re clothing and scenery is phenomenal! Another awesome Kpop group is Day6. I’m planning on rereading Chronicles of Narnia and trying out some new fantasy authors. Merry Christmas!
I just finished a book called Safe Harbor by Elizabeth Penney. I highly recommend it as the story is captivating and the concept is quaint. WARNING: you will not want to put it down. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!
Henry the IV is hilariousXD Its actually my favorite Shakespeare play youll love it!!
Great choices! Enjoy your reading time!
Emma, your skin is glowing. Is it your new skincare regimen?
Three of your titles are on my classics to read in 2020 TBR.
Literary Labors aww thanks, I do feel like the new skincare has made a difference! 😊 Happy Reading!
We have been reading Pilgrim's Progress at church. My mom loves the book and gave me a copy when I was young and I love it too. Also, you give such good recommendations. While I myself am not Catholic, I am interested in the saints. Are there other saints you would recommend one reading? Thank you! Love your videos. ❤
littlenavybrat littlenavybrat Thanks! Hmm...I think the letters of St Catherine of Siena are really good - there’s a nice free kindle version, and I found them very relatable, it’s like she’s writing to you! St Therese of Lisieux’s Story of a Soul is also popular. I’d like to read the writings of St. Francis de Sales or St. Ignatius of Loyola, but I haven’t started them yet!
@@BookishPrincess I have already read the letters of St Catherine (after you mentioned it) and refer to it often! It certainly feels personal. I will certainly check out the others! Thank you!
I highly recommend the Kdrama Iljimae, the 2008 version it's amazing!
Love your book list! Your hair is super cute in this video!!
Taylor Sasser Aww thanks! It’s been fun to grow it out a little bit because it’s actually long enough to pin back now, lol!
i had no idea bts referenced literature in their music! i guess you learn something new every day ☺️
Girl, you need bookshelves that go from floor to ceiling. LOL. Go vertical. You can fit SOOOOO many more books in your room.
I will join your tag! I am not sure if I actually will film it. I WILL choose 20 books and I will feel like I have joined you. If I film it, I will tag and let you know. The book Demian has a connection to my life, a connection with a bit of mystery.
NO ONE WRITES LIKE GASTON 😂😂😂
Two k- dramas I would recommend to watch are Hwarang and Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (or Goblin: The Lonely and Great God depending on the platform you use to watch). If you have not watched Hwarang yet there is a cast member you may recognize.
Chris W It’s not on Netflix or amazon prime, but I NEED to find a way to watch Hwarang, I’ve already seen clips. 😄 Will have to check out that other one too!
@@BookishPrincess you can find Hwarang on the Viki App.
Emma, such a lovely channel! The videos are enchanting and magical! I am a paper sculpture artist and book designer. We have created a series of hardcover books (35 classic titles) through paper fashion, illustrations and photography. I would love to send one to you as a gift to see if you would enjoy reviewing our work. We have The Princess and the Goblin, A Little Princess, The Frog Prince, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Little Women, The Rainbow Fairies...and many more. I thought you might love them as they combine favorite classics and Paper fashion!!
Thank you so much for considering our collection. Best wishes, Nicole
Artistic Director of The Paper
I have St. Faustina's diary, but I've never read passed a few pages. Let me know if you figure out the best way to read it! I don't think it's a read in one sitting sort of thing.
Faustina's diary is great it has lot's of personal converstions with Christ about Mercy...it's deep but not dense ... Interior Castles is also great
Ow! The phantom... I love the musical, the songs and everything, that's why I read the book and boy... What an interesting book. What I love the most about the book is the history behind it.. really interesting. Also, Montecristo is in my 2020 tbr!
Hey fellow bookworm! Do you have an amazon wishlist with these books on it? You have some faves of mine on here I'd love to share the love for.
Lost Princess Lisa No I don’t, but thank you for thinking of it, that’s so sweet of you!
Wow the Catholic books really surprised me. Are u catholic, or are interested on it from outside?
Yes! As I mentioned in the video, I am a Roman Catholic. I love to read theology and works about faith!
Hi ARMY💜 read Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse it's like demian
