Unrelated to this video, but I want to take the opportunity to say thank you :) I've always wanted to go to Iceland and your vlog from last year made me finally book it. And here I am now! Gorgeous country! Sitting in a bookshop right now, trying to decide which books to buy ;) so thank you again, for the inspiration and everything !
That ending did it for me. I was wrecked when Emmie said, "Thank you for being my friend and coming into my home." What a beautiful friendship. Remined me of my Bestie 💞
Goethe's 'Italian Journey' is a good pick. He was a marvel in every sense of the word. SO MUCH LOVE FOR GOETHE! Faust is still one of my favourites :') undefeated.
When I got back into reading I was only reading mountain climbing books lol. I recommend Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauar, Annapurna by Maurice Herzog, K2 by David Roberts, Into The Silence By Wade Davis, Touching The Void by Joe Simpson, The White Spider by Heinrich Harrer, Scrambles Amongst The Alps by Edward Whymper. I also loved watching docs on Sir Edmund Hilary, Sir Ernst Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott. Also, not about snow or mountains but I loved The Lost City Of Z by David Grann and The River of Doubt by Candice Millard
Hi Emma thank you for another amazing video ! You've been one of the biggest inspirations for me & have finally given me a way to channel my vision of a future & to become an author when I graduate from school this March You've been nothing but a heaven sent person for me ❤️❤️❤️
So much bookish power in one area! BTW, Emma, thought of you recently watching a show where people were watching old movies and mocking them. There was one with a car traveling through the abandoned Mexican countryside and the watchers started singing, "One hundred years of solitude, one hundred years of solitude! Take one down, pass it around, ninety-nine years of solitude!"
If you ever travel to Ireland , there’s a little shed/nook of a bookshop called the olde book shop at the hill of Tara and it’s filled from top to bottom of really old books , I’d say you’d love it.
lovely seeing you gals together and your beautiful friendship! I appreciate your eclectic taste Emmie, looks like you'll be doing a lot of virtual traveling. I have been drawn to niche areas of psychology and understand our local environment recently and am following that impulse. Enjoy your glaciers and mountains, as much as I know you love winter
When I saw the chess books, then the scrabble tiles, I thought it would be a fun idea for you guys to challenge each other to a friendly game of your choosing. I can't believe I am alone in this. THANK YOU for the videos!
How coincidental, I just picked up Terra Incognita from a used bookstore as well! I’d never heard of it, but I love penguins and Antarctica, so it seemed perfect. Hope you like it- I haven’t started it yet myself but I’m excited!
Emma, if you would like more non-fiction mountain reading, I can highly recommend all of Jon Krakauer's books and essays. His book Into The Wild, while not specifically about mountaineering, is one of my all-time favourites. He also wrote Into Thin Air which is about the 1996 Everest disaster (he was one of the climbers present), and his essay collection Eiger Dreams is wonderful.
Love you book haul. Heidi is one of my favorite books from child hood to this day. I want to recommend a memoir by Helen Hoover A Home In The Woods she had written several other books. I think you will like it.
I know Emma meant further under deep snow because Antarctica = South pole 😊 I started missing the act of discovering books I've never heard of, there is something special about being surprised by a book-stranger. It's so easy to go for the same titles
Have you been to Flying Books? Just about five minutes west of Sellers and Newel. As someone who lives on this strip, I feel spoiled to be between two great stores.
you should try the setting sun by osamu dazai since i saw no longer human on ur shelf, so i think u might like the setting sun although its a quite different :)
If you’re interested in mountains, definitely check out Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracey Kidder! I didn’t appreciate it as a high schooler (and admittedly have not reread it), but it follows Paul Farmer and his work with Partners in Health. John and Hank Green are huge advocates for World Health and have raised so much money to help pih provide access to healthcare in Sierra Leon. Very cool guy, very cool org, and very cool story! Note: I don’t remember if it’s actually about mountains, but I do remember mountains in it and him traveling a lot
If you ever read that travels in Italy book I hope you share your thoughts and some excerpts.I'm reading Dracula at the moment,just where Van Helsing is about to make his entrance.
I am having SO much fun reading some of your favorite books for an upcoming vlog, though filming and editing has been slow 😂 you are an icon! Loved this sweet video!
Rumi is literally calling out to me at 4:00, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it :( Also, Moliere's comedies in the previous bookstore. SO many treasures :(
I just caught up no your TBK/The Stranger video with Carolyn and I have a book recommendation for you! I found myself sympathising with a lot of your thoughts regarding what exactly the point of life is and it made me think you might enjoy The Wall by Marlen Haushofer. It's dystopian eco-lit, and it taps into some of the same ideas about what the point of life is but from a very different perspective, looking at mankind's place in the natural world. Although in some senses it's disturbing there's also something utopian about it (as is often the case with the best dystopia) and especially given your love of nature and desire to live in a cottage in the woods you may find something in there you appreciate. I'll give you this paragraph as a sample of the tone and some of the themes: "Things happen, and like millions of people before me, I look for a meaning in them, because my vanity will not allow me to admit that the whole meaning of an event lies in the event itself. If I casually stand on a beetle, it will not see this event, tragic for the beetle, as a mysterious concatenation of universal significance. The beetle was beneath my foot at the moment when my foot fell; a sense of well-being in the daylight, a short, shrill pain and then nothing. But we're condemned to chase after a meaning that cannot exist. I don't know whether I will ever come to terms with that knowledge. It's difficult to shake off an ancient, deep-rooted megalomania. I pity animals, and I pity people, because they're thrown into this life without being consulted. " I will throw in a slight warning that, though the book contains some of the best writing of animals you're likely to come across, but there are also a couple of bad things that happen to animals. It's not at all gratuitous, but still I know that might bother some people.
Emma! You MUST read ‘The Lost Pianos of Siberia’ by Sophy Roberts! It came out in 2020 and inspired my own thesis on the philosophical and literary inquiry into Siberia. You’re going to LOVE her writing! She also has a website with all the photos she took of her travels. Among the most affecting non-fictions I’ve read in recent years
nice video again! like always! i love the vibe and to see the two of you so happy :D quick question, cuz i have something sitting in my book shelf waiting to meet its new owner, do you still have a PO box or something? :) maybe anyone in the community knows? checked out the youtube channel info but nothing there... :/
Great bookstore vlog 😊 Carolyn: Uh, it smells good. Emma: It smells, like it's going to give me a lung infection Haha 😂 😂 I love the smell of old books
If you're in the mood for travel literature right now, I would recommend reading 'The Salt Path' by Raynor Winn. It's a beautiful memoir about a couple in their fifties that decides to hike the South West Coast Path after facing some really hard times in their life and becoming homeless. It is really inspiring and full of beautiful nature and a loving relationship. 😊🩵

Nothing better than friends sharing the same interest and wearing the same necklace ❤

sellers and newel is wonderful! definitely the coziest book shop in the city
This was such a cute video, going book shopping with a friend is one of lifes little pleasures ♡

OMG that's my teacher's book!!! Sebastián Martinez Daniell was my professor once in a writing worshop in my uni. I can't belive that!!!
How coincidental, I just picked up Terra Incognita from a used bookstore as well! I’d never heard of it, but I love penguins and Antarctica, so it seemed perfect. Hope you like it- I haven’t started it yet myself but I’m excited!
You both are so lovely and heartwarming together! 💚

If you like mountains and sherpas you should read The Acent of Rum Doodle, it’s so funny!
Have you been to Flying Books? Just about five minutes west of Sellers and Newel. As someone who lives on this strip, I feel spoiled to be between two great stores.
Todd here. Nice video. Some beautiful local second hand book stores!
Hmm.. from Carolyn’s face at end when Emmy said she was going to take Goethe’s Italian travels book somewhere… maybe Emmy is going to Italy soon? 😊
you should try the setting sun by osamu dazai since i saw no longer human on ur shelf, so i think u might like the setting sun although its a quite different :)

The Wall is one of my top books ever.

You should open up a membership teaching how to read and write.
🧘🏿♂️☕️
“I’m sorry. Excuse me. Did you just smell that book?”
☕️🥧🧁🍿🙂
Kindred book sniffers. 👃📚
What qualifies as an "indecent" amount of time at Chapters ? Two, three hours? Guilty. 🙋♀️
Excellent video as always❤
Have you ever thought of trying Bengali authors?
omg im so early
Thumbs down for not letting Carolyn show her book haul.
are you by any chance Taylor Swift, leaving small hints about what your future holds? mmm🤔😋
