I've had so many conversations with a friend of mine who is recovering from a major surgery about how frustrating it is when our bodies don't or can't work the way we want them to. It's such a hard experience, but I'm sending positivity and comfort your way!
I’m NOT a snow person at all but man you make me like it more. I love how we get to see the magic of the everyday through your eyes! I cry with you when you cry over things and laugh when you laugh!!!! Thank you for this!
Emma, I subscribed to your channel early 2021 and you make me happy throughout the year with your cheerful vlogs and bookish talks. Oh I also into classics and owning 40+ classic books because of you. You make us happy so please be happy too 🥲 Talking about your anxiety, please don't put pressure on yourself. Take a break if you really need too. Take a rest, you're doing great. I hope everything will be okay. You always there for us so we hope we can always there for you too.
Huhh, this video was actually a real masterpiece in my opinion. Snowy, movie-like clips and cozy reading scenes...and I have to say, it is really cool that you played the flute and the guitar and showed that too in this video! So excited for your further wintery vlogs/content! I have been here for a while but I've also been gone for short periods of times - especially when school and life got really busy - but I am really excited to be here with you again. And it's really great that when you are stressed you do not disappear, you just share that with us too and we can support you if only in the comments but we can and you help us too, so greatful for you emma.
As a sufferer of chronic illness and am mostly housebound, your vlogs give me a sense of adventure and coziness that I don't typically get to feel.I hope your rough period of anxiety gets better and so do your aches/pains.Its the worst when your body just doesn't want to function the way it should.Just know you are not alone and I wish you and for family the happiest and healthiest of holidays! ❤
Hi Emmie! I found your channel this past summer and immediately subscribed. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my entire life and I am finally getting a grip on it and finding hobbies. I have found reading to be one of them! I love to watch your videos they are very relaxing. Congrats on 200k subscribers! Keep up the great work
Good Morning Emmie... I have been binging your channel for the last three ays and I adore all of your content. I m a 43 year old mom oof 4 and I just found out that I love to read. Your college and TBI story hits home and I adore that you are vulnerable enoughto share your journey. Sending love and positive vibes from Warren, Ohio. I am hoping you feel better as the days go by and things get better and brighter. Happy Holidays from us to you lovely
Brilliant, I walk out of my three-hour exam with no more stressful shit to do for a while and I am greeted by a lovely long video. I could not be more happy right now.
When I first started watching emma, her subscriber count was around at 7k, i think. Her describing Great Expectations so beautifully inside a car was more than enough to know that i'll be here for a long time! Watching from Bangladesh! Sending lots of love and thank you for introducing me to so many great books. Your taste in literature is kinda shaping mine and i'm so happy about it.
Thank you for your cozy videos, as always :) Im going through so many major life changes right now and your videos always bring me so much comfort. Sending all the love from Montreal 🤗
Hi Emmie! I'm María, a 25 year law student from Spain. I've been subscriber since few months ago and I'm literally in love with your channel content. I started watching your videos for improving my level of English comprehension and I rest here for your lovely way of being/personality/etc. Hope you keep uploading new videos in which I found peace and calm. Lots of love.
I've been following your channel for a little bit, got back into reading a lot after losing my fiancé late last year. Looked through yt to find reading channels and found yours and it has been a blessing, you've introduced so many good books that I wouldn't have heard of or picked up, so thank you and keep doing what you're doing coz you're awesome
emmie i suffered a traumatic event and now have to lie in bed for huge chunks of the day, and your videos have been bringing me so much joy while i rest!!!
I so so hope you’re doing alright and will heal quickly, in the early days with the concussion laying in bed was all I could do and I know how frustrating it feels - audiobooks, music, and podcasts were my distractions! Im so glad you’re able to watch videos, sending you so much love🌼
hi! been subscribed since mid-late 2020 and i never really comment, but shoutouts to the youtube recs for recommending me your channel. i'm a (still burnt out) nurse, and your channel came at a really pivotal time in my career. your videos (along w/ some other youtubers) have, and still are, my go to ways to destress after really hard shifts. so with that i just wanted to say congrats on the 200k!!! absolutely deserving, and can't wait to see your continued success!!
Hey Emma, I discovered your channel this year, soon after I moved from Ontario to the US, and I immediately got the 'Canadian' vibes. Your channel made me feel like home right away (although I'm not originally from Canada). I love your thoughtful analyses, I was having a hard time finding a booktube channel that talks about more than the hype books of the season and I love you're also talking about classics. I feel for you and pain issues. For the past 2 years I've been hit by a severe form of IBS and this one is here to stay (associated with bacterial overgrowth). It's changed my life completely, it's altered my diet severely (plant-based ingredients were my favorite and now they're trying to kill me; I miss a big salad soooo much) and it came with a lot a lot of pain (and anxiety ). Mindfulness, a good doctor and lots and lots of books have helped. I hear you, I know how it's like to have a day when your productivity is low because the pain makes it hard to focus. And yet, with friends, family and books (lots of books) we manage. Oh, and walks. You make me miss snow, and I never thought I'd say that :D. Warm hugs from south of the border
I’ve recently discovered your channel and now watch your videos in the morning as part of my morning routine (gives me so much serotonin), I absolutely love how much effort you put into you’re videos!! They are honestly so beautiful and so comforting. So glad to be here!!
i cant stop thinking about one of your recent videos where you talked about get a life chloe brown and said something in the lines of "even if your body isnt fully functioning or healthy, you deserve love". it has been helping me so much these past few days and im going to pick up get a life chloe brown soon. i just want to say thank you.
hi emma! introducing myself as requested 🥰 i’m Faye, i’m 18, live in the UK, and discovered your channel in what was i think early 2021. i have been the biggest bookworm all my life and have found such solace and companionship in your videos. how you talk about the nuances of language in books and take such pleasure in really zooming in and out and analysing and re-analysing is so thrilling and beautiful to me, and has led to me falling even deeper in love with books. i read war and peace alongside you and carolyn back in may, and have such happy memories of reading a section and diving headfirst into one of your Tolstoy Diaries videos for your thoughts. you feel like such a close friend, to the point where i don’t know how or why i’ve never commented before! ♡ you’re such a beautiful soul and bring such contentment and serenity to so many people. lots and lots of love xxx
Emma, I've been here for a while, since maybe 34k and I'm so grateful for your channel! I've always been reading classics and literary fiction, and had a hard time finding people who had read the same things, so thank you for being that book friend to me! I also struggled this past year with my body and mind not working properly (found the reason and I'm much better now!) and had to reduce the amount of classes I could take at university, which I took very hard, but you were part of the reason that made me be okay with it and be patient with my body, so thank you!
I have been watching for about 3 months and gradually working my way through all your episodes. I understand the anxiety I often feel anxious for no reason.
Hi Emmie, I subscribed to this channel long ago but only recently started watching videos that I hadn't watched before. I am from India but I am currently living in New York. I am an acting student and I love reading. Apart from the book recs, I just find your videos very calming and peaceful. I recently met a person who also watches your videos and we literally spent the next hour talking about your videos. Love these frequent and quick uploads. These are my Netflix and chill videos. Whether I am eating, cooking, or cleaning, I just put on your videos. Thank you for everything that you do.
Hi Emma! I actually found your channel only a few weeks ago and have absolutely loved getting to know you through your videos. I love how open and honest you are about your opinions on books and classics , but also just with life. I’ve really gotten back into reading recently, especially trying to read more classics since Im exposed to them so often through my job at a bookstore, and just having someone to relate with is super inspiring and heart warming on these colder days. Love you 💛 keep being honestly you.
"Like look at that; you can't even see; it's beautiful." Poetry! That went in my writer's commonplace book, right next to "This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine," from the Tempest.
Hi from Florida! I recently subscribed and already binged watched almost all your videos! They are so soothing. As someone who has never seen snow, I love watching it on your videos. ❤

if this is any indication of what's coming up in the next few weeks on your channel, I know I'm going to be LOVING these snowy, winter vlogs! (as usual tbh)
I looooove the snow too ❄️ it’s so magical ✨ I love the silence snowfall brings. I live in Eastern Washington State so we get crazy winters here too 😊😌
I've been subcribed to you for AWHILE and you've been such a massive comfort. I've had a really awful year mentally and I always come to your channel when I'm not feeling great. Anyway, I'm from London and have always enjoyed reading. I'm currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari but it's taken me ages, yet I'm enjoying it. I hope you're okay, much love.
hi! this is such a comforting space for me and it’s so nice to know it might be the same for you, I hope the next year is so much better for you, sending you all the good things🌼 ooh I have that one in my audiobooks hold actually but I keep putting it off!
Emmie, thank you for sharing who you are with us. It's great that you were able to recognize that your mental health needed to move up on your priority list. It can only get better from here. There may be setbacks bc that's just life, but you will continue to gain the tools to push through. I wrestle with anxiety myself and I want to say you got this!
Hi Emma! You're starting to become one of my favorite creators. I also have a lot of anxiety and you and your videos are so calm and peaceful; they have been helping a lot. Hope you are doing well!
Emma, the snow queen: thanks for the beautiful and fresh snow! In Rio, we have this heat and sometimes a storm. Love to know you play guitar and flute. ❄❄❄❄❄❄☕💖
I live in California and I just have to say I’m insanely jealous of your weather and I’m living the winter wonderland vicariously through your vids. This week has only been the second week we haven’t had 80deg weather.
Hi, Emma. Im so glad you talked about this issues of mental health on your vídeo because i struggle really Hard with the same problems, having panic attacks for no "apparent reason" and sometimes i feel so guilty for it cause i have no reason to feel this way. Anyway thank you só much for being this amazing person and making your channel a safe space for everyone! Big kisses from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Perfect ramblings. I don’t believe I could catch your video so early in its release - it just so happens I have to stay up late tonite. I do remember I read the 2 quotes you had on Scrooge, but they didn’t do me anything. I actually found the short discussion on the “door nail” very funny…well, maybe I just a very simple person.
Ah ("ugh"), the irony of not allowing yourself to feel or recognize the good hours or longer stretches of time except for in hindsight, and the moment you herald the contentment of the present, something happens from without or within and enter anxiety or frustration or pain. Congratulations on your now almost 210K friends. I've read so many good books b/c of you. Merci beaucoup!
Hi Emmie! 49 year old nurse here from Iowa City, Iowa. We are a UNESCO City of Literature! Started following you a month or so ago when I got into classical literature and book tube.
Anxiety is difficult because, intellectually, you can know that there's nothing to worry about, but your emotions just don't follow that and you make mountains out of molehills even while you WATCH yourself do it....
these videos are so good for getting into a wintery vibe! hope your mental health gets better soon, your content helps me and so many others with their own mental health issues. taking care of yourself is super important and i'm pretty sure most people would agree to not ever push yourself for content or anything of the like. hope the winter break takes a lot of the academic stress off too
I've been watching your videos for about three weeks(?) now and i love your videos, they're so cozy and nice to watch, you have been one of the inspirations for getting back into reading after like 5 years of not reading anything for myself. Your videos recommending videos are some of my favorite. And thank you so much for getting me back into reading!! also, i live in norway so we have a bunch of snow and it gets really dark in the wintertimes so it's really nice to watch your videos with my fairy lights on while looking at the snow outside my window :))
You are so kind to share your musical abilities despite the tough times you experience:I hope your anxiety lessens with rest and self-care!I can help with guitar stuff, but calluses are a fact of fretting the strings and will be overcome with time.Don't put too much pressure on the strings,just enough and not too little.You are a wonderful flautist!❤️
The vibes here are so cozy and the aesthetic in these videos makes Emma just radiate "best friend" energy if that makes sense. Love these videos so much.
hi Emmie... i have discovered your channel this summer and i'm so glad that i did. you really have an inspiring aura and not just on books, you inspire me for a lot of things. i just love your content. sending you lots of love from Azerbaijan
My literal favourite youtuber, I've recommended this channel to everyone I talk about books with ! The cozy, calm, and warm energy in all the videos is just too good to miss out on !!
Hey Emma :) My name is Bo and I'm from belgium (not really sure why I wanted to metion that but anyways)Thank you for being so open about your struggles. I have been here for a while and I have always really admired that about you. For a couple of years I have also been struggling with being very hard on myself and fearing a bad grade even though I know those thoughts are not reality. It can feel numbing, painful and it's often a period with loss of hope. I wish you the very best of days, your videos sure make mine better :) I also wanted to tell you that it is so courageous to open up and tell people about your chalenges. In the light of everything that we do "wrong", we often forget to praise ourselves for the things we find normal but which are actually very rare. You seem like one of those rare souls you come accros every so often who makes people feel heard, seen and cared for just by being. So thank you thank you thank you Emma
Emma, I was in your place about a year and a half ago with guitar, and I must say, it is better to play about 10 or 20 minutes a day consistently, even when it hurts, than trying to play for hours a night, and I would say in 2-3 weeks your fingers won’t have that trouble! But consistency is key, and eventually you’ll be able to play for hours without your fingers hurting. Good luck and I’m looking forward to seeing your progress!
👋 hi from Dallas Tx- am feeling mellow and am a little stressed, but love hearing about what books are good. Loved the specific book recommendations, please do a part III! 💙💙💜💕🥰 hope you feel better…Don’t work too hard! I find meditation, a rest and recovery day every week, and warm lavender epsom salt baths work well for my anxiety. Love ur channel. Love how quirky you are, it’s a breath of fresh air and I love that you live literally in a forest! Yes 🙌🏽
i love your chanel so much, emmie! you're definitely one of my favorite booktubers and 200k is all you deserved :D this vlog was so nice and cozy, the mental health talk felt like a warm hug, thanks for that! hope you will be better soon :) and actually, For the Wolf is on my TBR so it's probably one of my next reads and I'm quite excited about it. loved your flute and guitar. love from France!
You have been such a joy to accompany since I found you two weeks ago! I am an avid reader and writer from Michigan! Psyched you play the flute too💛 might have to pull mine out! I want more snow, but it’s supposed to rain all night, so that’s a close second for digging into a long book. Hope your brain gives you a break soon, friend! 💛
Hellooo. I’m from turkey and this year was an exam year for me. During that time, I’d watch a video of yours and I cannot tell how much of a calming effect you had on me. and now I’m officially a pediatrics resident! Because of the pandemic the bureaucracy has been slower than usual and I used my free months reading a lot, and I was inspired many times by you! Thank you so much
It is Sunday morning around 9. I woke to watch Emma again. Well, I am Lewis and I love snow and winter. The snow was up to my knee height when I was at college in the UK. I had a head injury when I was very small, but I don’t attach anything to it now as it was just so long ago. Perhaps my ultra sense of optimism has something to do with it. I was first drawn to your channel when I was randomly searching for Agatha Christie not long ago. There you are…Emma the sleuth. Watching your vlog is becoming part of my routine. Keep it up girl, love to hear your voice. More of Agatha Christie please.
Hey Emma! I've been loving your videos for a year now and I want to say thank you for creating such a cozy, relaxing space! I'm from Oregon:) Hope you're feeling better!
Hi Emma!! I'm from the states, going back and forth between home (Indiana) and school (Michigan). I've been watching your videos for a few months now, starting over the summer. I have you and your content to thank for inspiring me to get back into reading regularly again, which has been so wonderful and inspiring. I read One Hundred Years of Solitude over the summer because of how highly you spoke of it and it left me in awe and wanting to read more magical realism. Thanks so much for your lovely, calming videos and deeply inspiring content about reading. Hope the rest of this winter treats you well
Hey emmie! Im a 20 year old from the netherlands studying industrail engineering. I grew up with reading books but didnt think about it first the last few years. Last year tho i had a new years goal to read 1 book every month. you really inspire me to do so and youre just the best! greetings brum :)
girl now you definitely made my whole day better. my day wasn't so ad but i wake up so late and i almost did nothing productive and it's already 7pm! put now i feel so much better and i hope i can finish some studying and reading. The whole vlog was so lovely, it could be my very favorite!!! Especially the "mental health chats" part, it was so warm and i can relate to most of it, the anxiety because of studying and exams.. so, I REALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH
So jealous of the snow! I'm a fellow snow lover who tends to embarrass herself whenever there's even the tiniest bit of snow outside, but to be fair, I lived in Florida for most of my life so snow is still relatively new for me. I can also relate to being anxious and being frustrated with your body not working how you feel it should. I get chronic migraines and the pressure changes in my area this past week have not been ideal. Just remember to allow yourself to relax from time to time. Sending positivity your way, love your channel! 😊
Je suis si heureuse de voir que le livre te plaît ! 🥰 je n’ai plus qu’à le lire à mon tour ! I meant every single word I write, even if this Amazon paper is way too small ! You help me in my everyday life even if you don’t know it, and thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Love from France 🇫🇷 Morgane 🌻✨
i found your channel last year with the phantom vids and since then i have gone back to finish the requirements to enter english at a university level while working part time :) thank u for ur content its like a warm hug at the end of a long week.
Hola Emmie! Siempre comento en inglés pero hoy quiero escribir en español para que puedas sentir que con tu dedicación y cariño has logrado traspasar fronteras, te quiero felicitar por tus 200k suscriptores 🤸💕🥳 todos te queremos y agradecemos mucho! Saludos desde México 🌌
hi emma hope you’re having a good day/night! i watched this vlog while relaxing after a long week of work and it was such a pleasure 😊 time to spend the weekend bundled up with hot chocolate and a good book!
Before your video i haven't understood that i truly love vlogs! Thank you so much for your work, videos, thoughts about books and much more! I'm from Russia. I'm fond of literature, photography, chess, etc. I'm gonna study philology or journalism huh. So it's not a surprise i'm here:) Learning foreign languages and literature are my the most favourite things on the world! In fact, i'm so tired and i guess i have a burnout, studying is quite exhausting. I suppose you all know that. However i'm trying to stay positive. Love you to the moon and back ❤️ P. S as a russian, i don't understand everything you say but i keep trying. Thanks to your videos i can reach highest level!
I'm so sorry that things have been so rough recently. I have chronic Lyme disease and co-infections, so there are a lot of times where my body and my mind seem to be failing me too. Thank you for being so transparent about overcoming hardships; you're an inspiration to a lot more people than you think! Congrats on 200k, keep being an inspiration love!
Wow, I feel this so hard (regarding school and mental health). I just wanted to say you are not alone in that. I have been struggling to juggle school/finals, my mental health, and physical health, all while transferring to UW. It's exhausting, and I hope that you are getting lots of time to relax during your break
Hi Emmie & and her fellow subscribers/friends ;) I am a uni student in NZ, I'm about to start the final week of my whole undergraduate degree! I study Japanese and Asian Studies, but I'm taking an English paper to finish off my degree (it's called "Postcolonial Literature" with a focus on the Korean peninsula, so we're reading books like Pachinko which you mentioned recently in one of your videos). I am a bit stressed and anxious because of all the work I need to do in this final week of study...But it is nice to visit your channel to relax. I found your channel exactly three months ago today! It was the "I asked 1,000 people what their favourite book is 👀 here are the top 20 novels!" video. Since then, I have been subscribed, have loved watching your videos, they're so calming :) Also, I have definitely added a lot of books to my TBR because of you haha It was cool to find out that you play the flute, I really enjoyed listening to your practice. I hope you're having a great day and that you keep enjoying your winter reads! (I, on the other hand, am dying in the 28C weather here in NZ and can't quite get into the wintry mood haha :)
Hi Emma. I have found your channel recently after getting back into reading and wanting to get some inspiration on good books, and I have been loving your content. I wish you happy holidays. Kind regards from the Netherlands!
An old subscriber here who never introduced herself :p Hi! I'm Russian and seeing you read all those Russian classics gives me life. I sort of wish we didn't have to read them in school because it's too early and it only made us hate those books.
hi emma, i don’t usually comment, but i felt so connected to you in this video that i wanted to let you know a bit about me. i’m veronica and i come from northen italy. i discovered your channel when you had like 30000 “friends” and i fell in love with your videos. they bring me so much comfort and coziness that it makes me cry. i came back to reading thanks to you, to your passion for books and for the literary world. right now i’ve just finished reading “the night circus” by erin morgenstern and i’m currently reading “wuthering heights” and a banana yoshimoto’s book. i suffer from BPD so i know how it feels to feel emotions deeply. i connected a lot with your anxiety and i want to send so much compassion to you. remember to give it to yourself too. i am looking forward to your more wintery videos! love you lots, veronica 🥺😽
I was in kind of an editing slump today but watching this gorgeouuus video gave me all my motivation back ! The scene in the snowy woods was incredible, it looked like a movie 😍
I relate so much to what you discussed in this video about mental health. Like you I'm in university, getting an English degree, and put massive amounts of pressure on myself as far as grades are concerned. I sometimes feel that I do nothing but have constant anxiety about life and school. It's so difficult to take time to care for yourself, to slow down and remind yourself about what life is really about, etc. But it's so important and I'm glad you talk about it in this video. I always love your content because you're real and I can relate so much. And it's always so cozy. Love from a new subscriber
I've had so many conversations with a friend of mine who is recovering from a major surgery about how frustrating it is when our bodies don't or can't work the way we want them to. It's such a hard experience, but I'm sending positivity and comfort your way!
the snow is such a strong supporting character in this
a 40+ minute long vlog?? WE WERE BLESSED BY CHARITY QUEEN EMMA ‼️😭
I’m NOT a snow person at all but man you make me like it more. I love how we get to see the magic of the everyday through your eyes! I cry with you when you cry over things and laugh when you laugh!!!! Thank you for this!
Emma, I subscribed to your channel early 2021 and you make me happy throughout the year with your cheerful vlogs and bookish talks. Oh I also into classics and owning 40+ classic books because of you. You make us happy so please be happy too 🥲
Talking about your anxiety, please don't put pressure on yourself. Take a break if you really need too. Take a rest, you're doing great. I hope everything will be okay. You always there for us so we hope we can always there for you too.
Thank you so much I’m so glad:’) That’s amazing!! Thank you very much for the reminder, this is such a loving space

This channel has become one of my favorites. It's so chill and comfy and easy to watch!
When I first started watching emma, her subscriber count was around at 7k, i think.
Her describing Great Expectations so beautifully inside a car was more than enough to know that i'll be here for a long time!
Watching from Bangladesh!
Sending lots of love and thank you for introducing me to so many great books. Your taste in literature is kinda shaping mine and i'm so happy about it.
Thank you for your cozy videos, as always :)
Im going through so many major life changes right now and your videos always bring me so much comfort. Sending all the love from Montreal 🤗
Hi Emmie! I'm María, a 25 year law student from Spain. I've been subscriber since few months ago and I'm literally in love with your channel content. I started watching your videos for improving my level of English comprehension and I rest here for your lovely way of being/personality/etc. Hope you keep uploading new videos in which I found peace and calm. Lots of love.
I've been following your channel for a little bit, got back into reading a lot after losing my fiancé late last year. Looked through yt to find reading channels and found yours and it has been a blessing, you've introduced so many good books that I wouldn't have heard of or picked up, so thank you and keep doing what you're doing coz you're awesome
Don't be hard on yourself , your an amazing person who makes so many subscribers smile x
emmie i suffered a traumatic event and now have to lie in bed for huge chunks of the day, and your videos have been bringing me so much joy while i rest!!!
Indian..🤍
I so so hope you’re doing alright and will heal quickly, in the early days with the concussion laying in bed was all I could do and I know how frustrating it feels - audiobooks, music, and podcasts were my distractions! Im so glad you’re able to watch videos, sending you so much love🌼

I love your thoughtful analyses, I was having a hard time finding a booktube channel that talks about more than the hype books of the season and I love you're also talking about classics.
I feel for you and pain issues. For the past 2 years I've been hit by a severe form of IBS and this one is here to stay (associated with bacterial overgrowth). It's changed my life completely, it's altered my diet severely (plant-based ingredients were my favorite and now they're trying to kill me; I miss a big salad soooo much) and it came with a lot a lot of pain (and anxiety ). Mindfulness, a good doctor and lots and lots of books have helped. I hear you, I know how it's like to have a day when your productivity is low because the pain makes it hard to focus. And yet, with friends, family and books (lots of books) we manage. Oh, and walks.
You make me miss snow, and I never thought I'd say that :D. Warm hugs from south of the border
ahh i love when you read snippets of the books you're reading, it makes me feel so cosy and warm!
I’ve recently discovered your channel and now watch your videos in the morning as part of my morning routine (gives me so much serotonin), I absolutely love how much effort you put into you’re videos!! They are honestly so beautiful and so comforting. So glad to be here!!
I just want to say thank you so much for being so open about mental health in your videos. It always makes me feel less alone ♥️
i cant stop thinking about one of your recent videos where you talked about get a life chloe brown and said something in the lines of "even if your body isnt fully functioning or healthy, you deserve love". it has been helping me so much these past few days and im going to pick up get a life chloe brown soon. i just want to say thank you.
hi emma! introducing myself as requested 🥰 i’m Faye, i’m 18, live in the UK, and discovered your channel in what was i think early 2021. i have been the biggest bookworm all my life and have found such solace and companionship in your videos. how you talk about the nuances of language in books and take such pleasure in really zooming in and out and analysing and re-analysing is so thrilling and beautiful to me, and has led to me falling even deeper in love with books. i read war and peace alongside you and carolyn back in may, and have such happy memories of reading a section and diving headfirst into one of your Tolstoy Diaries videos for your thoughts. you feel like such a close friend, to the point where i don’t know how or why i’ve never commented before! ♡ you’re such a beautiful soul and bring such contentment and serenity to so many people. lots and lots of love xxx
Emma, I've been here for a while, since maybe 34k and I'm so grateful for your channel! I've always been reading classics and literary fiction, and had a hard time finding people who had read the same things, so thank you for being that book friend to me!
I also struggled this past year with my body and mind not working properly (found the reason and I'm much better now!) and had to reduce the amount of classes I could take at university, which I took very hard, but you were part of the reason that made me be okay with it and be patient with my body, so thank you!
I have been watching for about 3 months and gradually working my way through all your episodes. I understand the anxiety I often feel anxious for no reason.
Hi Emmie, I subscribed to this channel long ago but only recently started watching videos that I hadn't watched before. I am from India but I am currently living in New York. I am an acting student and I love reading. Apart from the book recs, I just find your videos very calming and peaceful. I recently met a person who also watches your videos and we literally spent the next hour talking about your videos. Love these frequent and quick uploads. These are my Netflix and chill videos. Whether I am eating, cooking, or cleaning, I just put on your videos. Thank you for everything that you do.
Hi Emma! I actually found your channel only a few weeks ago and have absolutely loved getting to know you through your videos. I love how open and honest you are about your opinions on books and classics , but also just with life. I’ve really gotten back into reading recently, especially trying to read more classics since Im exposed to them so often through my job at a bookstore, and just having someone to relate with is super inspiring and heart warming on these colder days. Love you 💛 keep being honestly you.
"Like look at that; you can't even see; it's beautiful." Poetry! That went in my writer's commonplace book, right next to "This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine," from the Tempest.
Hi from Florida! I recently subscribed and already binged watched almost all your videos! They are so soothing. As someone who has never seen snow, I love watching it on your videos. ❤
if this is any indication of what's coming up in the next few weeks on your channel, I know I'm going to be LOVING these snowy, winter vlogs! (as usual tbh)
I looooove the snow too ❄️ it’s so magical ✨ I love the silence snowfall brings. I live in Eastern Washington State so we get crazy winters here too 😊😌
I've been subcribed to you for AWHILE and you've been such a massive comfort. I've had a really awful year mentally and I always come to your channel when I'm not feeling great.
Anyway, I'm from London and have always enjoyed reading. I'm currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari but it's taken me ages, yet I'm enjoying it.
I hope you're okay, much love.
hi! this is such a comforting space for me and it’s so nice to know it might be the same for you, I hope the next year is so much better for you, sending you all the good things🌼 ooh I have that one in my audiobooks hold actually but I keep putting it off!
Emmie, thank you for sharing who you are with us. It's great that you were able to recognize that your mental health needed to move up on your priority list. It can only get better from here. There may be setbacks bc that's just life, but you will continue to gain the tools to push through. I wrestle with anxiety myself and I want to say you got this!
Hi Emma! You're starting to become one of my favorite creators. I also have a lot of anxiety and you and your videos are so calm and peaceful; they have been helping a lot. Hope you are doing well!
Emma, the snow queen: thanks for the beautiful and fresh snow! In Rio, we have this heat and sometimes a storm. Love to know you play guitar and flute. ❄❄❄❄❄❄☕💖
I live in California and I just have to say I’m insanely jealous of your weather and I’m living the winter wonderland vicariously through your vids. This week has only been the second week we haven’t had 80deg weather.
I love how she always uploads 🥺 She makes everyone's day better 🤍
that’s so sweet, you guys make my day better honestly💜
The scene of you running in between the snow and the trees was just so “movie-like” vibes! 😍💙
Hi, Emma. Im so glad you talked about this issues of mental health on your vídeo because i struggle really Hard with the same problems, having panic attacks for no "apparent reason" and sometimes i feel so guilty for it cause i have no reason to feel this way. Anyway thank you só much for being this amazing person and making your channel a safe space for everyone! Big kisses from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Perfect ramblings. I don’t believe I could catch your video so early in its release - it just so happens I have to stay up late tonite. I do remember I read the 2 quotes you had on Scrooge, but they didn’t do me anything. I actually found the short discussion on the “door nail” very funny…well, maybe I just a very simple person.
Ah ("ugh"), the irony of not allowing yourself to feel or recognize the good hours or longer stretches of time except for in hindsight, and the moment you herald the contentment of the present, something happens from without or within and enter anxiety or frustration or pain. Congratulations on your now almost 210K friends. I've read so many good books b/c of you. Merci beaucoup!
Hi Emmie! 49 year old nurse here from Iowa City, Iowa. We are a UNESCO City of Literature! Started following you a month or so ago when I got into classical literature and book tube.
Anxiety is difficult because, intellectually, you can know that there's nothing to worry about, but your emotions just don't follow that and you make mountains out of molehills even while you WATCH yourself do it....
these videos are so good for getting into a wintery vibe! hope your mental health gets better soon, your content helps me and so many others with their own mental health issues. taking care of yourself is super important and i'm pretty sure most people would agree to not ever push yourself for content or anything of the like. hope the winter break takes a lot of the academic stress off too
hi there. been watching your videos for a little while and have found them so comforting
It's like you and your videos are the elixir of happiness. Thank you 😊
I've been watching your videos for about three weeks(?) now and i love your videos, they're so cozy and nice to watch, you have been one of the inspirations for getting back into reading after like 5 years of not reading anything for myself. Your videos recommending videos are some of my favorite. And thank you so much for getting me back into reading!!
also, i live in norway so we have a bunch of snow and it gets really dark in the wintertimes so it's really nice to watch your videos with my fairy lights on while looking at the snow outside my window :))
You are so kind to share your musical abilities despite the tough times you experience:I hope your anxiety lessens with rest and self-care!I can help with guitar stuff, but calluses are a fact of fretting the strings and will be overcome with time.Don't put too much pressure on the strings,just enough and not too little.You are a wonderful flautist!❤️
The vibes here are so cozy and the aesthetic in these videos makes Emma just radiate "best friend" energy if that makes sense. Love these videos so much.
hi Emmie... i have discovered your channel this summer and i'm so glad that i did. you really have an inspiring aura and not just on books, you inspire me for a lot of things. i just love your content. sending you lots of love from Azerbaijan
‘’The trees literally want to drink your blood and it’s fantastic.’’❤️🤣 Also, thank you so much for raising awareness about mental health!
My literal favourite youtuber, I've recommended this channel to everyone I talk about books with ! The cozy, calm, and warm energy in all the videos is just too good to miss out on !!
sending good wishes from west canada ! neighbours haha
my turtle loves your voice, she always puts her head above the water when i'm watching your videos jhckcxv
okay this is the best thing I’ve read in my life, give your turtle all my love:’) what’s her name?!
thanks for all the content em, your vids are so calm and vibey
Hey Emma :) My name is Bo and I'm from belgium (not really sure why I wanted to metion that but anyways)Thank you for being so open about your struggles. I have been here for a while and I have always really admired that about you. For a couple of years I have also been struggling with being very hard on myself and fearing a bad grade even though I know those thoughts are not reality. It can feel numbing, painful and it's often a period with loss of hope. I wish you the very best of days, your videos sure make mine better :) I also wanted to tell you that it is so courageous to open up and tell people about your chalenges. In the light of everything that we do "wrong", we often forget to praise ourselves for the things we find normal but which are actually very rare. You seem like one of those rare souls you come accros every so often who makes people feel heard, seen and cared for just by being. So thank you thank you thank you Emma
Emma, I was in your place about a year and a half ago with guitar, and I must say, it is better to play about 10 or 20 minutes a day consistently, even when it hurts, than trying to play for hours a night, and I would say in 2-3 weeks your fingers won’t have that trouble! But consistency is key, and eventually you’ll be able to play for hours without your fingers hurting. Good luck and I’m looking forward to seeing your progress!
It's nice to see you playing instruments and using yourself as your own insert music. I'm glad you are enjoying getting back into music :)
👋 hi from Dallas Tx- am feeling mellow and am a little stressed, but love hearing about what books are good. Loved the specific book recommendations, please do a part III! 💙💙💜💕🥰 hope you feel better…Don’t work too hard! I find meditation, a rest and recovery day every week, and warm lavender epsom salt baths work well for my anxiety. Love ur channel. Love how quirky you are, it’s a breath of fresh air and I love that you live literally in a forest! Yes 🙌🏽
i love your chanel so much, emmie! you're definitely one of my favorite booktubers and 200k is all you deserved :D this vlog was so nice and cozy, the mental health talk felt like a warm hug, thanks for that! hope you will be better soon :) and actually, For the Wolf is on my TBR so it's probably one of my next reads and I'm quite excited about it. loved your flute and guitar. love from France!
so great to see you playing!! love to see more of that
You have been such a joy to accompany since I found you two weeks ago! I am an avid reader and writer from Michigan! Psyched you play the flute too💛 might have to pull mine out! I want more snow, but it’s supposed to rain all night, so that’s a close second for digging into a long book. Hope your brain gives you a break soon, friend! 💛
Hellooo. I’m from turkey and this year was an exam year for me. During that time, I’d watch a video of yours and I cannot tell how much of a calming effect you had on me. and now I’m officially a pediatrics resident! Because of the pandemic the bureaucracy has been slower than usual and I used my free months reading a lot, and I was inspired many times by you! Thank you so much
congrats on passing your exam!!
It is Sunday morning around 9. I woke to watch Emma again. Well, I am Lewis and I love snow and winter. The snow was up to my knee height when I was at college in the UK. I had a head injury when I was very small, but I don’t attach anything to it now as it was just so long ago. Perhaps my ultra sense of optimism has something to do with it. I was first drawn to your channel when I was randomly searching for Agatha Christie not long ago. There you are…Emma the sleuth. Watching your vlog is becoming part of my routine. Keep it up girl, love to hear your voice. More of Agatha Christie please.
Hey Emma! I've been loving your videos for a year now and I want to say thank you for creating such a cozy, relaxing space! I'm from Oregon:) Hope you're feeling better!
Hi Emma!! I'm from the states, going back and forth between home (Indiana) and school (Michigan). I've been watching your videos for a few months now, starting over the summer. I have you and your content to thank for inspiring me to get back into reading regularly again, which has been so wonderful and inspiring. I read One Hundred Years of Solitude over the summer because of how highly you spoke of it and it left me in awe and wanting to read more magical realism. Thanks so much for your lovely, calming videos and deeply inspiring content about reading. Hope the rest of this winter treats you well
Emma saying my mother "TAYLOR SWIFT" is the best thing to happen to me this month bye
Hey emmie! Im a 20 year old from the netherlands studying industrail engineering. I grew up with reading books but didnt think about it first the last few years. Last year tho i had a new years goal to read 1 book every month. you really inspire me to do so and youre just the best!
greetings brum :)
I'm currently reading For the Wolf and gosh, thank you so much for letting me know that book existed, because i'm loving it! 😊😊😊
Eee so happy for you!!
Ahhh Emma this vlog made me son happy.
Ive never loved anyones videos as much as i love yours
you’re voice is the most calming i’ve ever heard, it’s so good to hear!
this made me feel even mooooreee cozy 😭❤️
You play the flute so beautifully I really felt that 🎵
girl now you definitely made my whole day better. my day wasn't so ad but i wake up so late and i almost did nothing productive and it's already 7pm! put now i feel so much better and i hope i can finish some studying and reading. The whole vlog was so lovely, it could be my very favorite!!! Especially the "mental health chats" part, it was so warm and i can relate to most of it, the anxiety because of studying and exams.. so, I REALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH
So jealous of the snow! I'm a fellow snow lover who tends to embarrass herself whenever there's even the tiniest bit of snow outside, but to be fair, I lived in Florida for most of my life so snow is still relatively new for me. I can also relate to being anxious and being frustrated with your body not working how you feel it should. I get chronic migraines and the pressure changes in my area this past week have not been ideal. Just remember to allow yourself to relax from time to time. Sending positivity your way, love your channel! 😊
Je suis si heureuse de voir que le livre te plaît ! 🥰 je n’ai plus qu’à le lire à mon tour !
I meant every single word I write, even if this Amazon paper is way too small ! You help me in my everyday life even if you don’t know it, and thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Love from France 🇫🇷
Morgane 🌻✨
Nice nails. My wife is deeply into doing her nails and I have come to appreciate an artistic nail job.
i found your channel last year with the phantom vids and since then i have gone back to finish the requirements to enter english at a university level while working part time :) thank u for ur content its like a warm hug at the end of a long week.
If finally snowed here in Denver Colorado today and your magical video came out! Couldn’t have been more perfect timing!!!!
Hola Emmie! Siempre comento en inglés pero hoy quiero escribir en español para que puedas sentir que con tu dedicación y cariño has logrado traspasar fronteras, te quiero felicitar por tus 200k suscriptores 🤸💕🥳 todos te queremos y agradecemos mucho! Saludos desde México 🌌
hi emma
hi emma hope you’re having a good day/night! i watched this vlog while relaxing after a long week of work and it was such a pleasure 😊 time to spend the weekend bundled up with hot chocolate and a good book!
hi, emmie!
im from moscow, russia. i have found your channel just recently. i adore these wintery videos. btw today we have -16 degrees here❄️
Before your video i haven't understood that i truly love vlogs! Thank you so much for your work, videos, thoughts about books and much more!
I'm from Russia. I'm fond of literature, photography, chess, etc. I'm gonna study philology or journalism huh. So it's not a surprise i'm here:) Learning foreign languages and literature are my the most favourite things on the world! In fact, i'm so tired and i guess i have a burnout, studying is quite exhausting. I suppose you all know that. However i'm trying to stay positive. Love you to the moon and back ❤️
P. S as a russian, i don't understand everything you say but i keep trying. Thanks to your videos i can reach highest level!
I'm so sorry that things have been so rough recently. I have chronic Lyme disease and co-infections, so there are a lot of times where my body and my mind seem to be failing me too. Thank you for being so transparent about overcoming hardships; you're an inspiration to a lot more people than you think! Congrats on 200k, keep being an inspiration love!
Wow, I feel this so hard (regarding school and mental health). I just wanted to say you are not alone in that. I have been struggling to juggle school/finals, my mental health, and physical health, all while transferring to UW. It's exhausting, and I hope that you are getting lots of time to relax during your break
Good luck with the transfer process!! I’m a freshman at UW right now :~)
You play the flute beautifully! I play too and I think I got whiplash from how fast my head snapped up to listen!
Hi Emmie & and her fellow subscribers/friends ;)
I am a uni student in NZ, I'm about to start the final week of my whole undergraduate degree! I study Japanese and Asian Studies, but I'm taking an English paper to finish off my degree (it's called "Postcolonial Literature" with a focus on the Korean peninsula, so we're reading books like Pachinko which you mentioned recently in one of your videos).
I am a bit stressed and anxious because of all the work I need to do in this final week of study...But it is nice to visit your channel to relax.
I found your channel exactly three months ago today! It was the "I asked 1,000 people what their favourite book is 👀 here are the top 20 novels!" video. Since then, I have been subscribed, have loved watching your videos, they're so calming :) Also, I have definitely added a lot of books to my TBR because of you haha
It was cool to find out that you play the flute, I really enjoyed listening to your practice.
I hope you're having a great day and that you keep enjoying your winter reads!
(I, on the other hand, am dying in the 28C weather here in NZ and can't quite get into the wintry mood haha :)
Hi Emma. I have found your channel recently after getting back into reading and wanting to get some inspiration on good books, and I have been loving your content. I wish you happy holidays. Kind regards from the Netherlands!
This is the loveliest vlog, thank you. x
An old subscriber here who never introduced herself :p Hi! I'm Russian and seeing you read all those Russian classics gives me life. I sort of wish we didn't have to read them in school because it's too early and it only made us hate those books.
YOU PLAYING HOWLS MOVING CASTLE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOSH PLEASE POST MORE COVERS
hi emma, i don’t usually comment, but i felt so connected to you in this video that i wanted to let you know a bit about me. i’m veronica and i come from northen italy. i discovered your channel when you had like 30000 “friends” and i fell in love with your videos. they bring me so much comfort and coziness that it makes me cry. i came back to reading thanks to you, to your passion for books and for the literary world. right now i’ve just finished reading “the night circus” by erin morgenstern and i’m currently reading “wuthering heights” and a banana yoshimoto’s book. i suffer from BPD so i know how it feels to feel emotions deeply. i connected a lot with your anxiety and i want to send so much compassion to you. remember to give it to yourself too. i am looking forward to your more wintery videos!
love you lots, veronica 🥺😽
this vlog put me in the best winter mood!!!!
I was in kind of an editing slump today but watching this gorgeouuus video gave me all my motivation back ! The scene in the snowy woods was incredible, it looked like a movie 😍
Thank you for sharing these videos. They uplift our souls.
I relate so much to what you discussed in this video about mental health. Like you I'm in university, getting an English degree, and put massive amounts of pressure on myself as far as grades are concerned. I sometimes feel that I do nothing but have constant anxiety about life and school. It's so difficult to take time to care for yourself, to slow down and remind yourself about what life is really about, etc. But it's so important and I'm glad you talk about it in this video.
I always love your content because you're real and I can relate so much. And it's always so cozy.
Love from a new subscriber
IT'S LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE VIDEO OF YOURS ! ❤❤❤😭
I'VE WATCHED IT SO SO MANY TIMES THAT IVE LOST THE COUNT !
