I am so happy you feel the same way about A Man Called Ove!! I read it at the beginning of this year and LOVED IT, such an emotional and nostalgic read!
I picked up sleeping giants based on your recommendation and I love both of those books so I too am waiting eagerly for the next one! Warbreaker is now going on my must read list! A court of mist and fury is in room waiting for me once I finish the three I am currently reading!
Hey Emily ! I was following your makeup chanel for over a year and never knew you had a booktube! I found out your booktube from naya read's and smiles's recommended channels. You should mention that you have a book channel in one of your makeup videos so that your subscribers can know you have such a great booktube channel ! xx, Maitha
Your review on A Court If Mist And Fury is sooo helpful! I read the first in the series this summer and had a "mwa.." feeling. After your review from a few weeks back I picked the second one up anyway and I'm really loving it so far! (I love your videos btw 💖💖)
So glad to hear that you loved Warbreaker. I have been meaning to read it for forever because I know I'll love it. I mean hello... Brandon Sanderson is amazing so how could I not? I think I'll try and get to it before the year is up. Hopefully 😊
I LOVED Long Way but Closed and Common was really fantastic. She really plays with possible positive futures and questions of humanity so much further in that book.
ACOMAF was so cringy for me, everyone was growling and snarling and "flipping rude gestures," it was cheesy and overdone, but I know a lot of people love it, so oh well.
I agree We Are the Ants was really good and super shocking, like the bullying and all...I was traumatized after reading it. But it def made into my most fav books list :)
None of the hardbacks were bought new! Actually the only book that was bought new here was from Book Depository so it wasn't that expensive (the paperback one!). Most of my books are bought used!
All of these books look so beautiful, and they sound so interesting! I've only read A Court of Mist and Fury, and I agree that it was pretty great (and I definitely agree that the third book was shit. no offense, but I thought it was a serious letdown and too fast paced like it was a war and they fought it in two weeks MAYBE. also, it felt like SJM was trying to wrap everything up too fast while leaving some stuff open, and it didn't go all that well in my opinion).
I'm getting hooked to Brandon Sanderson and it's your fault :p the sleeping giants format reminds me if The Three by Sarah Lotz, and I haven't recovered from that yet - it was really bad :( I'm curious about the Sarah J Maas series, since the throne of glass series has great books and very meeeeh ones
I just don't get why everyone loves ACOMAF the most and why they hate ACOWAR..? Like.. why? I definitely love the third book the most and it's just so amazing. Maybe that's because it's more about the other characters and just.. ACOMAF was great but I just don't understand why everyone feels like it was the best. Cuz it was not. In my opinion at least.
Faves videos are always fun, and good books are indeed a lot of fun to talk about. yesterday I finished a book that was so great, I can't get why it isn't more hyped or at least talked about and getting good reviews. It is called Only Human and written by J. D. Estrada. It is now one of my favorite books and that barely happens with me when I read fantasy. I am more of the literary fiction reader (and they are now way near boring, slice of life books, just find the ones that suit you). Anyway, the book is very creative in its plot, writing and concept (at least the way the concept is executed). It is totally clear that the author is also a poet and it has very good quotes and passages that made me think. It was the best way I have ever seen paranormal fantasy done including movies and tv shows I have watched. Definitely a rec. I think you will love it and will be pleasently surprised.
Can't wait to read We are the Ants! I was planning on reading it now but I picked up This Salvage Song because I thought it would be a more Halloweenie 🎃lol. We are the Ants is definitely next for sure!
I bought sleeping giants on your recommendation. I was a bit apprehensive since sci fi is not my genre, but it was amazing and made me want to pick up more scifi.
Can you read a court of mist and fury as a stand alone? Sorry if you answered this in the video. I’m hoping to just read one Sarah J Mass to start and would like a recommendation 👍🏻. Thanks a lot xxx
Those audiobooks are around 25 hours each so if you read at a similar speed as the narrators then you have a loooong road ahead of you! That book is worth it though, the other two not as much ; )
You should read Stolen Songbird - Daniel L Jensen (a trilogy about a girl kidnapped by "trolls") really good ya fantasy / adventure. i gave them 5 stars =)
Are you at law in Quebec? I just started at Dal Law and I'm finding it super hard to keep up with reading with al the guilt from not reading cases 😭 I love that there is a fellow Canadian, law student booktuber I can look up to 😂
Hello Emily! I recently discovered Brandon Sanderson with Elantris! His stories and writing made me think of the French science-fiction bestselling author Pierre Bordage! I don't think his work is translated in English, but you speak french, right? If you have the chance, check out the blurbs of "Les Guerriers du Silence" or "Abzalon". They are truly amazing and science-fiction masterpieces! www.goodreads.com/book/show/1559509.Les_Guerriers_du_silence?ac=1&from_search=true www.goodreads.com/book/show/1559512.Abzalon?ac=1&from_search=true Hope you'll like it! Thanks for your videos and kisses from Switzerland!
I'm like recommending "a man called ove" to every person I meet. It's an alltime favourite for me and it really changed me in a very special way.
hey handsome so glad to hear you really enjoyed this book. I can't decide whether to read or listen to it.
+Rachel Ramirez I actually listened to it and it was great!
YES We are the ants is such an underrated amazing read!!
I am so happy you feel the same way about A Man Called Ove!! I read it at the beginning of this year and LOVED IT, such an emotional and nostalgic read!
Brb now I've got to put all of these in my cart
I picked up sleeping giants based on your recommendation and I love both of those books so I too am waiting eagerly for the next one! Warbreaker is now going on my must read list! A court of mist and fury is in room waiting for me once I finish the three I am currently reading!
I just started Warbreaker! I just finished Elantris and am loving Brandon Sanderson! You totally got me hooked!

You should mention that you have a book channel in one of your makeup videos so that your subscribers can know you have such a great booktube channel ! xx, Maitha
I've actually mentioned it at least once a month since I started this channel lol
Happy you found me :)
Your review on A Court If Mist And Fury is sooo helpful! I read the first in the series this summer and had a "mwa.." feeling. After your review from a few weeks back I picked the second one up anyway and I'm really loving it so far! (I love your videos btw 💖💖)
Happy to hear it :)
I never would have read it if it wasn't for others saying it was much better!
So glad to hear that you loved Warbreaker. I have been meaning to read it for forever because I know I'll love it. I mean hello... Brandon Sanderson is amazing so how could I not? I think I'll try and get to it before the year is up. Hopefully 😊
I LOVED Long Way but Closed and Common was really fantastic. She really plays with possible positive futures and questions of humanity so much further in that book.
ACOMAF was so cringy for me, everyone was growling and snarling and "flipping rude gestures," it was cheesy and overdone, but I know a lot of people love it, so oh well.
Jess Willard omg another person who didn't like ACOMAF thank you
Agreed!
Omg agreed. Territorial fae, vulgar gesture, winnow, snarl, hiss, blah blah, (the cringey sex scenes too) 😒
I agree We Are the Ants was really good and super shocking, like the bullying and all...I was traumatized after reading it. But it def made into my most fav books list :)
I think On Tyranny was one of my fav reads this year. I literally recommend it to everyone!
I read Sleeping Giants after you mentioned it before and it was so, so good. Cannot wait to read book two.
I always thought that A Man called Ove sounded like a mix between Up and Gran Torino when I hear people talking about it.
Oh man We Are the Ants is just the best book! Also I can't wait to read Warbreaker
Warbreaker ties into The Stormlight Archive. Vasher is in book 2 under another name and Nightblood also appears in that book.
I really loved ACOMAF and A Man Called Ove. I agree, I would reread ACOMAF but not the other two books.
I am obsessed with Brandon Sanderson's books :)
You're so lucky to be able to afford so many hardbacks. D; I can barely afford paperback lol.
None of the hardbacks were bought new!
Actually the only book that was bought new here was from Book Depository so it wasn't that expensive (the paperback one!).
Most of my books are bought used!
I LOVED a Man Called Ove. So feel good and bittersweet.
Sleeping giants sounds sooo interesting!! is there any explicit or triggering content in the book? what age range would you recommend it for?
All of these books look so beautiful, and they sound so interesting! I've only read A Court of Mist and Fury, and I agree that it was pretty great (and I definitely agree that the third book was shit. no offense, but I thought it was a serious letdown and too fast paced like it was a war and they fought it in two weeks MAYBE. also, it felt like SJM was trying to wrap everything up too fast while leaving some stuff open, and it didn't go all that well in my opinion).
Do you like any romance books?

Happy to hear you ended up linking A Court of Mist and Fury. No Stephen King though?
+Amalia Csoka Top 5 for summer is June, July & August. I read no SK during that time!
Probably will have one in the Fall top 5!
Warbreaker is amazing!! glad to know you loved it Emily!
I just don't get why everyone loves ACOMAF the most and why they hate ACOWAR..? Like.. why? I definitely love the third book the most and it's just so amazing. Maybe that's because it's more about the other characters and just.. ACOMAF was great but I just don't understand why everyone feels like it was the best. Cuz it was not. In my opinion at least.
ACOMAF was for sure not my favorite, it should be labeled "border-line erotica with hints of fantasy," haha.
Faves videos are always fun, and good books are indeed a lot of fun to talk about.

Definitely a rec. I think you will love it and will be pleasently surprised.
I liked aspects of ACOWAR, but loved ACOMAF.
I don't feel like A Closed and Common Orbit gets the love it deserves.
Have you read The book thief Emily?If yes what did you think of it?❤️
Can't wait to read We are the Ants! I was planning on reading it now but I picked up This Salvage Song because I thought it would be a more Halloweenie 🎃lol. We are the Ants is definitely next for sure!
I bought sleeping giants on your recommendation. I was a bit apprehensive since sci fi is not my genre, but it was amazing and made me want to pick up more scifi.
Do you like more action or character driven books? I'll give you recommendations!
BookswithEmilyFox character driven are my favourites. I'd actually love that! Becky Chambers is already sitting on my shelf as well. :)
That was my pick #1 if you said character driven haha You will love it I'm sure!
I'm hoping to read a closed and common orbit in December.
I loved ACOMAF, but every time I think back on reading ACOWAR it makes me want to go knock another half star off my rating lol
Hey Emily! Which Brandon Sanderson book do you recommend to read first from him? And which one is the best?
Can you read a court of mist and fury as a stand alone? Sorry if you answered this in the video. I’m hoping to just read one Sarah J Mass to start and would like a recommendation 👍🏻. Thanks a lot xxx
Well there were a few books that have been moved up my TBR... xD
How long did it take you to read ACOMAF? I've been reading it forever and I'm finally over 100 pages in
Those audiobooks are around 25 hours each so if you read at a similar speed as the narrators then you have a loooong road ahead of you! That book is worth it though, the other two not as much ; )
I straight up told my friend to skip the first book in that Sarah j Maas series lol
How come i didn't know that u have a book channel?
You should read Stolen Songbird - Daniel L Jensen (a trilogy about a girl kidnapped by "trolls") really good ya fantasy / adventure. i gave them 5 stars =)
Great Video For Are A Emily
Am I the only one who likes ACOMAF the least in the series 👀
Ruby Chan I love ACOWAR the most. No questions. It's everything. ACOTAR and ACOMAF.. these two are kinda the same level. I love them both though.
Are you at law in Quebec? I just started at Dal Law and I'm finding it super hard to keep up with reading with al the guilt from not reading cases 😭 I love that there is a fellow Canadian, law student booktuber I can look up to 😂
+Sarah's Bookshelves I read a total of 0 books for fun for most of my time in uni So don't feel bad 😂
Have you watched the movie too? 😊 (A man called Ove)
Not yet! :)
