So...here I am a 67 year old woman who only wishes I had had your self confidence at any time in my life. Bad comments aside for now, you are doing something so right for someone so young. You have expanded my reading life like no other. Your reading War and Peace and crying while doing so gave me the (courage?) to read it. It was my first book of 2022 and I am grateful. There are images from it in my head forever now...beautiful images. Taking your bad comments and turning them into recs was a brilliant idea. Reminded me of "I'm rubber, your glue. The words bounce off me and stick to you." I have a feeling that whatever you do, you will succeed. Thanks for the great content.
All I can say is that Emmie one and Ron Zero need I say more 💜💜💜
You kind of look like Lex Fridman's sister.
Please,speak about lady godiva.
Yes, a nude picture of her and a story
A piece of advice: don't take haters too seriously, you can read the critical comments from time to time but it's not essential that you read all the hate from some people. And about pale skin, it's all a matter of taste... I personally like your skin color because I'm from a Latin American country where most people are very tanned...🤍
"nasty little goblin" sounds like something Rochester would call Jane Eyre
HAHA
😭😭😭
best comment of all times really
Hahahaha
You are actually wildddddd for this comment
1) It didn't even cross my mind that you receive hate comments wow
2) This is the most amazing way to handle negative comments. You literally inspired me to handle negativity better by making this video. Thank you, amazing human ☺️
I can’t fathom writing a hate comment on someone’s appearance, especially when you see it’s grown adults writing them sometimes
Right?? Like what is wrong with you 😭🤦🏽♀️
They're only grown adults physically.
Yeah. I can't imagine writing a hate comment about anything. If I don't like something, I move on. No need for the "I don't like it therefore nobody should" comments.
@@brucecowin nah I’ll write hate comments abt Colleen Hoover not Emma tho
Exactly
Emma, I'm a primary school (elementary) teacher here in Australia and I really feel like showing portions of this video to my students as an example of how nasty, bullying comments can be deflected with such grace, erudition, and intelligence (and just the perfect amount of sass!) This is a great example of resilience in the face of hostility and young people need examples like you more than ever. You have done this so well and to throw in book recommendations as an added bonus...brilliant.
Thanks so much.
Anthony - Sydney, Australia
Yes, kids and adults need these examples!
Oh God that's a brilliant idea for a video lmao
Also anyone who thinks Emma is pretentious has clearly never met me lol
Right?? She is the epitome of turning lemons to lemonade 👏🏽
HAH lol
The absolute brilliance of turning hate comments into book reccs. And making this video a sponsored one. I love this channel so much Emma 😄
I live for Emma's sarcastic answers 😆
So sad to hear that so many of these haters are male. As a male I can say that you are one of the major reasons I have got back into reading. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos, it shows.
“If I burned all my books, I’d still have them.” That’s so beautiful! This was a brilliant video idea.

Emma, you're awesome. I hope those comments never get to you, not even for a second. You've gathered such a beautiful community on your channel, and your videos bring so much joy 🖤. Some people are just insecure assholes that try to bring themselves up by putting others down. They got nothing on you.
Thank you so much for writing this, so so appreciated and yes this community is the best thing ever :’) thank you for this💙
We love you Emma 💚😊
@@emmiereads thank YOU for creating this channel! Much love 🖤
I am much older than you, Emma, but your channel has given me insight and education. I love so many of your quotes and today's is probably my favorite so far: (Are you just trying to sound smart?): "Well, I'm not trying to sound stupid." Beautiful. I guarantee I am going to use that if ever the need arises!
As someone who majored in something lucrative instead of my passion, go for your passion. Making money is mostly just a matter of how motivated you are, so do what motivates you 😃
Oooh girl you are almost at 1,000 books read! 📚 Can’t wait for that video. Certain it will happen this year!! 🌙
Ooooh this makes me so excited! I didn't even think of that
Right?? Literally counting down 😅
I wish I had tracked/kept count of every book I've ever read. I've been doing the goodreads challenges the last few years, as well as checking off books I know I read in previous years. But it would be interesting to know just how many books I've read.
Your sarcasm is masterful without being mean, well done
Maybe do book recommendations for people who make positive uplifting comments. 👍🏻Then we are putting light on how much good is out there and not giving mean people any spotlight. Great channel!!
Have I told you lately what an amazing little goblin you are? This is brilliant! Love you so much! 🤍❄️🕊️
Haha thank you😂💙
My daughter [ an English teacher] tells me I have too many books , she also makes fun of some of the genres I read, she is also a minimalist, we are very different in most ways. But I love her and am so proud of her.
please don't ever stop making long videos. they're my companion when i’m studying or reading.
The comment reaction to w3tfarts has me DEAD 💀 Thanks for turning such silly comments into a great video, Emma. You deserve nothing but love ☺️
The comments about "what are you gonna do with your degree" are so relatable to me. I'm a history major (currently doing my master) and all I ever get is either that question or "sooo you wanna be a teacher then, right?". No Susan, I don't wanna teach kids.
Don't get me wrong, I have the highest respect for teachers, but I could never.
I think what I love about my degree (and what you probably also love about yours) is that it gives us the ability to acquire knowledge we're interested in, but doesn't pigeonhole to just doing one specific job. Sure, it's not as safe as studying law or medicine and just knowing you'll be a doctor or attorney, but it gives us more freedom to pursue many different things that we're passionate about. I could never imagine just doing one thing as a job for my entire life. That's just me.
well-said!
I'm a firm believer that hate comments only stem out of jealousy, you are such a nice soul and its wonderful to see that you take even the negative comments and turn it into a beautiful creative video 💕✨
You inspire us, thank you for this entertaining video 😂
i love your long videos 🥺 and thankyou for actually talking about the books i realised most popular booktubers or tiktokers are popular for the amount of money they spend on books or how many books they've read and im tired of that in the community due to books becoming cool on the internet :(
Exactly.
So when is the "nasty little goblin" merch dropping? Can it be printed on a mug as a "before coffee" sort of thing?
This is giving me so many ideas👀
Hahaha love this! Such a brilliant idea! Hope this become a tradition in the channel 😆
Yesss I’d love to do this again😂
Right?? I laughed the whole time 😅
Emma and Carolyn having new video ideas makes my day 😆😆
Nothing is more classy than recommending haters books 💅🏻 such a queen ✨
you are so phenomenal! the fact that you could think to turn something so negative into absolute positivity whilst being so kind??? you’re a true inspiration em!
Emmie is the light of my TH-cam life. How dare you put her down?! Glad you roll with it girlie ❤️ I love you, calcifer, and your bookish content! Also your hair is so shiny, healthy, and beautiful in this video. You are thriving ✨️🫶
Emmie, thank you so much for what you said about majoring in literature. I feel so lost sometimes, I forget what my passion is about. You reminded me of it.
Also, definitively will read Stoner. Thanks for recommending!
Such a interesting idea! But really, I find it so sad that you get mean comments when all I get from you are positive vibes!
"I'm not trying to sound stupid" haha yes this is everything. Great video and I liked this video even before I started watching it. Booktube would be empty without your thoughts on these books.
The way Emmie knows that for someone try to cause pain this person needs to be in pain is so lovely. This video now lives in my heart and I want bring this lession for life
Regarding 22:49, I have small children and the desire of my heart is to make them strong readers. One thing I hadn't done to lead them to enjoy reading is actually enjoy it for myself. Wow. You have been a great resource for highbrow literature as well as books aren't highbrow. I love it all and I appreciate that you love it all as well.
This video is pure genius 🤌🏻. Such a queen honestly. You are such a ray of sunshine Emma. I appreciate your messages in this video. A lot really resonated with me. So thank you for your content 💕
I genuinely don’t understand how anyone could write such negative things to a person who exudes such positivity. You are SUCH a bright light in this world ☀️
I just wanted to say that I love your videos and you are a great inspiration for me. You and Caroline have inspired me to begin reading classics and I love watching your videos when I need to destress and take a moment for myself. Something about your voice makes me focus completely, which is almost like meditation to me. ❤️❤️❤️
the "you're a nasty little goblin" comment is so funny to me
I could not stop laughing when I read it😂
@@emmiereads honestly, the best compliment
GOD that monologue about books and physicality and their permanence outside decaying paper ENTRANCED ME
It blows my mind how young you are and the wisdom that comes out of your mouth. I’m retired. I am very impressed by your words. Putting yourself out there for strangers to watch/love/criticize or even dislike is something I would have never done. The one thing I have learned from my own experiences throughout life is that the more critical a person is, the more unhappy they are in there own lives. Keep up the great work.
I’m similar age group and I too am super impressed by Emmie. I used to be on Twitter but couldn’t deal with the haters. I wished I’d thought of Emmie’s approach at the time.
pleaseee i love your long videos! don't shorten them 😭
I have so many questions for these people..just...sooo....many
4:36 "'Are you just trying to sound smart?' Well I'm not trying to sound stupid" LOL 😂
The book consumption as a food pyramid made me think! Havent thought this through well but:
- widest part of the pyramid (carbs) should be the books/genres i really love reading and are easy to read as the bulk of what makes me full
- next level (veggies) are the 'healthy' books that are challenging and expands my view
- meat/proteins - genres i dont typically go for but sometimes have a craving of
- tippy top, consume in moderarion (junk food) - trash!! Terrible books that are fun but could not subsist on
The irony of posting a hate comment about no job opportunities with an english degree… on a video that you probably got paid to make… talking about LITERATURE 😩
The gall of people telling you you're stupid while being unable to properly construct a sentence or use punctuation is outstanding 🙄
I just want to let you know I really appreciate your book recommendations. I tend to read a variety of different books so thanks again.
Handled hatred with pure class! ❣️
i thought so too :)
This video really made me stop and think. What a great way to respond to the negativity and baseness that at first thought one would simply choose to ignore as not worth one’s time and attention!! Good for you for taking the high road and providing a model to others for how to respond such people. Keep doing what you do- you are obviously appreciated by so many!
You look so confident and happy talking about what you love, dear Emma. That shows you chose the best path. When I first saw you I thought of what Anastasia Steele's life would have been if she had preferred the right way. You're stunning as the actress, but your intellect and self-realization make you a complete gem. This combination cannot leave haters alone. Those people just have no passion in life and little attention to themselves. We love you, sunshine 💛
I love the way you handled/responded to the haters.
On a side note; my mom passed away from C in December 2020…I had to clean out her house in summer of 2021. I listened to the audiobooks of the Shatter Me Series…they carried me through a very difficult time and I will always carry the feelings & emotions those books evoked inside me. They helped carry the burden of my loss. I’m tearing up just remembering the love I have for those books.
You’re the greatest bean! The wonderful human you are far outshines them all. We love you, Emma!!! (My orange, fluffy boy says the same to you and Calcifer by stating, “Meow.”) ❤️
This is hilarious. I'm encouraged that younger people such as you and Carolyn enjoy reading (I don't think I've seen 911 book covers) and read (and understand : ))substantive books, and that you had a hard time finding enough negative comments to include.
I've seen myself become the reader that I used to be. You have inspired me to take out time for books. Ever so thankful to you dearest Emmie ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely loved this video! Your sense of humor is just *chef's kiss* ♥
You talking about the value of an English degree made me so happy. That's what my BA is in, and I will die on the hill of it's value. Your sentiments really mirrored my own. Am so excited that you'll talk about this more in a separate video!
Ugh people can be such turds! You're such a sweet soul Emma. It's no surprise to me that you keep it classy and funny lol!! On a unrelated note, the turtleneck + hair w/ bangs combo is slayinggggg !!!!!!!
I can't explain the unique feeling of joy I get when I see a new emmie video 🥺 I love quite literally every video uploaded
Love you Emma! I love middle grade and children's books and read them still and I'm in my 50's! Who cares what you love, it's wonderful. Read every age group; children's books, middle grade, ya, adult . . . Romance is warm and fuzzy if it's good quality. I can't wait for your video on your English degree. Looking forward!
You're so smart, resourceful and innovative for turning those comments into an awesome rec video Emma!
as someone who wants to study english and is constantly told it's a pointless major, thank you so much for what you said on that!! it made me feel a lot better and more confident about my decision even though people are always telling me why i shouldn't follow my passion
Follow what you love! I have a “useful” degree in psychology but then I decided to be an illustrator because it’s what I love so my degree now goes completely unused 😂
I LOVED this video!! How about making one of these once a year? Sarcasm is always entertaining!😊 Also, there is some connection between Rice's vampires and "sunbathing" but I won't say anything more 😉
I love this idea. I also love hate comments. They're hilarious. I always reply "thank you!" and hope it ruins their day as much as they hoped to ruin mine.
I really love the way you described the books we read being together with us, like living inside our hearts and minds and just being there that we can hear, smell, and taste them whenever we come across them deep inside our memory lane. It really resonates with me and made me think about the way I view myself as a reader.
Plus I wanted to thank you for the content you make, haters can go to hell. I have been following you for 2 years now and believe me when I say whenever I see a notification from you, my heart lights up, and the minutes I spend watching your videos are the golden time of my day. So thank you very much.
Love all the way from Morocco 🇲🇦.
Emma is absolutely spitting in this video. I have enjoyed this tremendously, please keep these videos coming!
THIS IS DROP THE MIC AMAZING!!! I still can’t comprehend though why anyone would say things like this to you.
I love this video so, so much. Us English majors and artists are tired of justifying our choices and existence to people in our lives, I can only imagine how annoying it's to receive these anonymous comments online. We've heard all the jokes about our future financial state and the uselessness of our degree. We know what we're getting into from the start. The fact that some people don't see the value in what we do, doesn't mean that it's not valuable. Belittling our degree just because it isn't going to cure a disease is an ignorant take, at best. Literature might not save lives on the surface, but it has saved mine many times and provided an escape from the darkest chasms of my mind.
Sending love to you, Emmie, and I'm really looking forward to your video! xx
these comments about how specific degrees are "useless" are so frustrating because not everyone goes to uni/college so they can get the highest-paid job there is??? like some people genuinely want to LEARN and have hobbies and interests??
Whenever I tell basically anybody that I want to go for Literature, the reaction I get is what I call COMICAL. As a matter of fact I don't find anybody in my friends circle who even say that they wanna take Arts, let alone Literature of any sort. That is really something that saddens me. Nothing against the other subjects but this zone of study is especially neglected in today's society where I live.
You are an inspiration for me, Emma! Love you!
Emmie always comes up with such unique book recommending concepts! It's literally the coolest
Girl this video had me ROLLING 🤣 First off all, I L O V E long videos, if you made a lord of the rings length video, I’d make a bowl of popcorn & watch happily. Second, your response that YOU will be the rich husband , y e s 👏🏻
Your videos bring me so much joy! You re-sparked my love for reading and writing (and gave me the encouragement to follow my dreams to an English degree). You're amazing, please keep making content that makes you happy 🥰
This is THE way to react to hate: with love and kindness :D Love this video, Emma!!
LOL. Or passive aggressiveness. Not saying it's not deserved, but this ain't love and kindness.
@Ryan Doyle it is okay if the love and kindness is self-directed, rather than absorbing the hate. Regardless, Emma directly acknowledged those commenters, so that's not passive.
How could anyone hate Emma?? Impossible.
And every new video she makes I add like 10 more books to my TBR. Also, this really helped me with my own uncertainty and anxieties about studying English literature. 💜💜💜 thank you, that was really lovely commentary (as always).
This was such a good idea for a video! And your responses...hilarious. I'm sorry you get those kind of comments but glad you found a fun way to address them. I'm currently reading Phantom of the Opera because of your videos 😁
'You can burn all my books but I will still have them in my heart' - can't tell you how much this line means to me. That's exactly how I feel too. Very very well said.
...and also everything you said after that about books being an essence, something that we can return to...spoken like a true reader
What a great way of turning something negative into such a positive. I love how all your books are full of post-it notes - proof that they are well-read and well-loved.
Her skin is too pale??? She’s Canadian knucklehead - my brother went for 3 years and was blue and translucent when he returned.
😂 sending him my condolences
i genuinely believe anyone sending you hate comments is just horrendously jealous bc i cannot imagine fostering hate towards you for any reason other than that
Maybe someone mentioned this already but now I’d love to see you turn happy, lovely comments into book recommendations. I expect you get a lot of those but take a handful of ones that meant a lot to you and turn them into a book recommendation.
I enjoy your channel, this is a nice way to handle the haters.
Your mini-rant about majoring in English hit so hard, haha. I'm only a few months away from getting my English degree and I'm so excited for all of the doors it's going to open for me. I also tried to be a STEM major for a while, but I was miserable and writing/reading was the one field where I felt I would learn the most and be able to fully immerse myself. I've been working on my degree for four years and now that I'm in the final stretch, I'm so happy I allowed myself to pursue what I loved.
Loved this video concept, btw :D
357k and counting. Dont think she needs to worry about marrying a rich man
like the queen Cher herself said, "I am a rich man"
I think that's pretty much the job of a student of literature or even a writer; and that is, you read EVERYTHING. Literally everything, every genre, good books, bad books, mediocre books, everything. That's how you know how to appreciate a good piece of literature. As an author, it helps you understand, what and how to write your emotions and what not to write.
You're doing great, Emma. I know what a literature student's life is like; having a masters in English Literature myself. And just so you know, I have a great job with a great pay, which helps me choose my partner for love and not just "a rich guy".
Kudos to you, for taking these hate comments and turning them into such a positive and productive video!
P.S. You are one of the smartest booktubers I've ever come across.
Regarding “trash,” as a therapist has explained to me, we all need non-cognitive time. Especially if you have a job/lifestyle where you are using your brain a lot, such as a student in your case. Also, so much hate is directed at genres that typically are enjoyed by girls/women, like romance and YA, that does not get directed at things boys/men enjoy like sports.
Okay, Emma, what are you doing...
I haven't even finished watching this, but you are amazing! I love your thoughts, your jokes, your taste in books and your way of choosing perfect words for describing something that is dear to you.
Oh my gosh, you are such a beautiful person, how is there any hate towards you?! Not that hate ever needed rational explanations, but still(
I love you and your channel wholeheartedly
Some guys can't help being creepy 🙋♂
Your no escape from language is spot on
When my son learned to read, he had fits that words were everywhere 🤪. Formerly he didn't notice signs.
This is a delicious idea and I will be sipping on this video like an extravagant tea.
Yes me too!! Perfect way to say it.
The fact that someone posted hate comments on Emma's vlogs is soooo alien and impossible sounding to me that I just woke up and got so confused if I did wake up or was still dreaming
As a person with limited room and many physical books who always gets told to buy a Kindle, I will forever quote you now! "the book is just the physical manifestation of it's contents, a body for the soul" nothing really exist lol
this was so fun to watch, u literally crushed all of them!!
your videos are amazing and i love to hear your thoughts and also you look so beautiful! 💜
Thank you so much for encouragement for English Majors- I am a second year english major and sometimes I feel like I’m wildly chasing a passion that will lead to an irresponsible life. Hearing you defend the study of such a beautiful art makes me so happy!
loved how you turned hate into such a wonderful thing as books are! i'm slowly catching up on your december and january vids since my exams forced me to go on a lil booktube break and i gotta say...emma you've been uploading a lot i'm having such a good time now watching everything!
Pls never stop making long videos.
Emmie, wow. I'm so sorry to hear about your hate comments. One of the reasons I subscribed to you, wasn't just because you love literature, but also because you aren't some person who comes off as obsessed with appearance. It's soooo refreshing to see something that isn't centered around .. "outward appearance"... seriously. I get enough of that. I have enough vanity for myself, like I don't wanna think about that stuff. I'm over it. I'm not an insecure teen and I care about deeper things beyond appearances.. don't get me wrong, I love me a good beauty product, but. Anyway, just wanted to say, we as humans are SOOOO much more than our outward appearance. Even if you happen to be Miss Universe or the hottest fashion model----that is a SEASON in life. It passes ALLLLL tooooo fast. And eventually, you will find yourself 70 years old (if you're blessed to live that long) & THEN WHAT????!! is your life over and you might as well die??? At some point, you have to actively decide you are more than your physical.. and you have to water that garden. So. Just sayin. Your opening song was great, lol. I loved it. And you keep reading. I like the reading. I think people should read as long as their eyes are working & even then, there'd audiobooks & brail.. so. Lord help us. God bless, xo
Hey Emma, I just found your channel tonight and already watched 3 of your videos and commented suggestions for you. I will tell you this. I find you very interesting, very bright and motivating. Don’t pay attention to the haters who send hateful comments.. they’re just losers and probably jealous of your intellect and knowledge. I find you adorable and love your humour. Also I just found out from this video that you’re Canadian, which makes me love you even more and makes me proud because I’m Canadian also. I wrongly assumed at first that you were American and so happy to know that you’re Canadian. Keep it up on your reading. It’s a fantastic hobby… I’m a big reader myself and would never stop. Cheers
love you emma ♡
sending you the biggest hug and all the love!!!💙💙
Hate comments in book recommendations is hard to grasp. I found your content just recently and all I can say is I am grateful for it. Less importantly, and as creepy as it might sound, you are a beautiful woman and that just adds to the pleasure of watching your content. I hope you continue with this great effort of sharing your experiences in reading and are able to brush off the non-sense that a public platform brings. Know that I, and I am positive that the majority of your audience, appreciate what you do and how you do it.
Sending you so much love 💚 (not in a creepy way)
Haha sending all the love back 💙💙
I am simply gobsmacked. Like ... How can a sweet human being like you receive hate comments? Unbelievable. And what a clever way to answer to all that nonsense, you are brilliant!
