BookswithEmilyFox I’ve been reading The Dead Zone by Stephen King and omg so far so good although thriller and horror is not my genre, I decided to take my reading game to the next level and I have to say you inspired me to read bigger books
My reading has really slowed down because I got into World of Warcraft again so I have to force myself to take breaks, and then I try to read :,D I have just finished "Old Man's War" and it was really fun! I think you'll enjoy it once you get to it.
About “The Glass Castle”: I think you’re right that the author tries to “romanticise” things and make them sound magical, but in my view that’s just because she wrote from the perspective of herself as a child. Back then, she didn’t know of another kind of life, and she didn’t know it wasn’t a normal upbringing; she just loved her parents and wanted to follow her family everywhere. Later, when she grows up, is when she (and her siblings) realises that things are CRAZY in that family and that they have to break free as soon as possible - hence, the first chapter where Jeannette feels embarrassed about her mother. I really loved this book because it was raw and gives such an alternative but honest view on upbringing - but I can see your point as well :)
I was trying to calm down and review it properly during my wrap up at the end of the month but I now know it's not gonna happen... I'm not a violent person but I was literally wishing harm to these children... that's how bad it was 😂
Kristin Fields why did it bother you? Do you feel it glorified her father? Did it just make you uncomfortable? I loved this memoir, but I’m starting to realize it may be because I related since I also had a dysfunctional childhood.
I’ve recently read a short story The Dispatcher by John Scolzi and really liked it. I was instantly intrigued by Lock in after you mentioned the premise
I just made my first Book Outlet order thanks to you! Can't wait to start diving into those. Just finished Wolves of Calla from Stephen King today. It was great, except for the fact that you know what the climax will be within the first 50 pages, and then it doesn't happen until the last 30 pages of the 700+ page book. That was frustrating, but worth it.
the glass castle is my favorite book. for me it's not a happy story through the eyes of a child. it's more about the struggles and hard challenges she had to overcome. all the empty promises and the neglect that her and her siblings faced. it's about triumph and being able to be successful even though you didn't grow up wealthy or with opportunities handed to you. it's about hard work, being yourself, and forging your own path!
I didn’t *enjoy* The Glass Castle but I felt it was impactful and an important look into her life - I cried at a lot of it, looking at my kids and thinking how I couldn’t fathom how anyone could do what her parents did, and I thought she did a good job of showing how kids think their parents are always right, but her views became more realistic and jaded, yet still she found it hard to cut ties with a toxic family, because she still loves them, which is a hard thing for victims. I thought that insight was useful. Like when you’re thinking “how did no adult step in” and you actually see how situations played out with CPS trying to get involved
I finally finished children of blood and bone! (Yayyy book slumping) My next books include: the lies of Locke lamora, enigma: the Alan Turing story (I recently watched the imitation game and am now slightly obsessed even though I dislike math)... And the young adult librarian at work ordered ace of shades for me so that'll hopefully be here soon!
This is why Strange the Dreamer has sat unread on my shelf for ages. It seems to be a book that people either love or hate. I also worried it was overhyped.
I enjoyed Roxanne Gays book Hunger on audio book. It's about her being morbidly obese & how society & herself feel about it. Very eye opening & interesting. 3.5/5 which is good for me on non fiction.
I love these new Friday Reads videos! It's nice to see that somebody else has as many books going as I have. Right now, I'm reading 4: City of Brass, Circe, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and Sleeping Giants (thanks to your recommendation!). Enjoying all of them; it's been a good reading month!
I finished A Storm of Swords part 1 on audibook today. I’m currently reading Renegades and The Red Pyramid and I’m planning to finish them this month before I join a month long Marvel-a-thon that I’m super excited for. 😁
Have you ever tried the Scribd service? Besides having e-books, they also have many audiobooks! Personally, I am able to find pretty much any book I want to read. The best part is that the price is very affordable, 9 dollars per month and they offer a 30-day free trial, as usual. In my humble opinion, it's way better than Kindle Unlimited or Audible.
My reading has been great until I finished Eliza and her Monsters. I LOVE that book. And when I love a book my reading tends to slow down because I’m on a euphoric high. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish a few more books before the month ends.
I finished Strange Weather by Joe Hill last weekend, it was really good. I started Sea of Rust by C. Robert Cargill, which has a really interesting premise about a world where not only have robots taken over the human race, but now they are the inferior species to mainframes. I've just been so tired this week, I haven't made good progress in it yet.
I've been in a reading slump but I managed to read city of bones by Cassandra Clare and I've been listening to the divergent series. I'm currently on allegent. I still have to read my big book of the month which is game of thrones
I adore The Glass Castle. I agree that some of it is romanticized, but I feel like that more easily shows the author's point of view as a child during this time.
I just finished the Wayward Pines trilogy, and while I enjoyed the pace (love a good page turner), a lot of the dialogue and writing was pretty amateur and painful, I felt, so I can only imagine how awful Run was... I'm going to read Dark Matter, though, since I've heard good things about it.
I am currently reading Conan the cimerian and Outlander although I like it a lot I feel that it's hard to read because the writing is so small (I got the one with the blue cover) maybe it's because I'm used to read in french..? I don't know but I hope it won't stop me from finishing the book!
Currently reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman about 100 pages in and liking it also if your looking for more memoirs to read a really fantastic one is Bryan Stevensons Just Mercy
I am halfway through Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, I like it a lot :) While you didn't enjoy Strange the Dreamer as much as I hoped you would I was so glad you were mature when you talked about it because way too many reviewers act like idiots when they don't enjoy something
To be honest there was nothing to be "mad" about. For example, Run, there was a lot to be mad about... but Strange the Dreamer was okay. There were some good bits and some I didn't care for but nothing to do a "sassy review" about :P
BookswithEmilyFox looking forward to seeing this. It's a bit how I felt about Red Rising, I read it in February and am still angry, which explains my more than 10min rant on it.
I didn't like long way down at all. I listened to it cause it was pretty short and i felt it was a waste of time. Currently I'm reading lord of shadows and next in planning to pick up Dont call me kit kat :)
Honestly I didn't see what the hype was about for "The Glass Castle" either. I expected to love it but just thought it was messed up and not a read I had to make myself finish because I wanted to see what happened to everyone. I liked and understood the brother more than anyone including the main character whose POV the book is based on.
Hey Emily! It’s not been the best month for my reading. I’ve picked up Thunderhead and halfway through the book I’m thinking to start over because maybe I started with too much excitement but it’s a slow read after every chapter. I don’t know if that is normal but my eyes just like give up or I’m like I’ll take a nap. I have 6 more books I picked up to read and to speed up my reading like you but I don’t know if that will happen anytime soon.
BookswithEmilyFox I'm reading one per month as a part of a readalong hosted by some Hobb fans over at instagram (@hobbsquad) and it's so much fun! I'm loving the experience. Also I love your channel and how you talk about books and genres that are not so popular in the booktube community👌
BookswithEmilyFox I thought the same thing! Some of the ideas were ones I'd heard before (from a political science/economics professor who recommended the book), but it was cool to have real data and the step by step thought processes to go along with it! I really wish it had been longer. That kind of stuff is so up my alley. :P
I had a feeling you wouldn’t enjoy Strange the Dreamer as much. I loved it because I have a soft spot for kind and besotted male characters, so the instalove didn’t bother me as it would have if he had been awful. I hope your next reads are better, Run seems to have been absolutely torturous to read through lol.
Im reading a Patrick Ness Trilogy, book 1 - The Knife of Never Letting Go. Its a middlegrade i believe but im.really enjoying it. Have u read that "Chaos Walking" trilogy? So far it sounds like some space pioneers left the angst of planet earth, settled on "New Earth" and are already having problems like they did on earth. You know they say .... you can take em out of the earth but you cant take the earth outta them. Lmao.
The glass castle is messed up - its a compelling read for sure I finished it in like 2 days but man that is fucked up parenting. Insta love also makes me cringe I am not as romance averse as you but ffs sometimes it ruins a good book for sure! You got some exciting ones coming up! I am currently reading ms marvel volume 1 and the changeling. I suspect I will be done the graphic novel quickly and the other one is so fascinating already. I was in a serious slump so glad I am now on a roll. Also curious about the locked in your body book - can't wait to here what you think! I will tear through only human once I get it - my library has it available just placed a hold I blame you for my obsession with that series!
I’m starting The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I just finished the Mistborn series- I think it was a mistake to jump from one series to another because I miss Wax and Wayne and the Mistborn world! But so far so good. I’m also reading The Humans based on your review- I’m like 4 pages in but it’s already funny 👍🏼
You'll have a Sanderson induced slump after all of these :P I'm glad you're enjoying them - I really need to continue mistborn but at the same time I want to wait a bit until the 4th book is announced!
Lock in sounds like my worst nightmare. The locked in Syndrome would be one of the worst things that could happen to me. So this book is a big no no for me.
Oh strange the dreamer! I was actually mad at the book! It was so trophy and Lazlo was gay, the only chemistry there was in that book was between him and the alchemist. Overhyped! I loved the glass castle, I think that the fact that the reader is turned is good because it’s clear that the author can’t be objective because they are were her parents and she loves them and they loved her. It makes sense that she realized that they did terrible things, but also she fiercely loves them. That was the beauty of the book, the gray and the sense of hope.
I am in the middle of Michio Kaku's new book The Future of Humanity. Its a popular science book about....the future of humanity. Mostly just theories about how/ and where space travel is going to happen. Fun, and would make a great documentary, but I was expecting a bit more science. But it is super accessible!! My hold for the audiobook for Waking Gods just came in and I am really excited to start that!
On the bright side I have so many other books on my TBR (physically and others I'll have access to from my Library any day now...) so it's not too bad but yeah :P
How's your reading going so far this month??
BookswithEmilyFox I’ve been reading The Dead Zone by Stephen King and omg so far so good although thriller and horror is not my genre, I decided to take my reading game to the next level and I have to say you inspired me to read bigger books
Good. I'm currently reading children of blood and bone by tomi adeyemi. I don't usually read fantasy, but I'm enjoying it so far
My reading has really slowed down because I got into World of Warcraft again so I have to force myself to take breaks, and then I try to read :,D I have just finished "Old Man's War" and it was really fun! I think you'll enjoy it once you get to it.
BookswithEmilyFox the best it’s been this year! Kind of a record for me. Starting Pines by Black Crouch! Super excited
BookswithEmilyFox 20 books this months so far! Books of very differents genres!
Im so happy I finally found a booktube channel that doesnt solely talk about YA
I love that you read old and new books.

Yes that's what I meant!
Really loving this new series of videos from you. It's great to see how you're reading is going on a weekly basis.
I'll definitely try to do these more often :D
The Run review made laugh so much 😂😂😂
I was trying to calm down and review it properly during my wrap up at the end of the month but I now know it's not gonna happen...
I'm not a violent person but I was literally wishing harm to these children... that's how bad it was 😂
BookswithEmilyFox in horror movies where there are dumb annoying kids, I always kinda want them to die... 🤷
When rating memoirs I generally go by the way it is written rather than the content because it's obviously hard to rate someone's real life.
Especially if you don't like it 😂
Good thing to keep in mind. The writing is good but the story really bothered me.
Kristin Fields why did it bother you? Do you feel it glorified her father? Did it just make you uncomfortable? I loved this memoir, but I’m starting to realize it may be because I related since I also had a dysfunctional childhood.
TheSphinx I felt the parents did a lot of damage to their kids.
Always looking forward to your videos! 💕 I am currently reading IT
Loving this Friday Reads series! ❤️
I’ve been reading two books simultaneously for 3 months now and no matter how much I read I feel like I’m not making any progress I want to cry
I’ve recently read a short story The Dispatcher by John Scolzi and really liked it. I was instantly intrigued by Lock in after you mentioned the premise
I just made my first Book Outlet order thanks to you! Can't wait to start diving into those. Just finished Wolves of Calla from Stephen King today.

That was frustrating, but worth it.
I'm just finished reading The Humans based on your sci-fi recommendations and it was so good!! Love you Emily!
the glass castle is my favorite book. for me it's not a happy story through the eyes of a child. it's more about the struggles and hard challenges she had to overcome. all the empty promises and the neglect that her and her siblings faced. it's about triumph and being able to be successful even though you didn't grow up wealthy or with opportunities handed to you. it's about hard work, being yourself, and forging your own path!
Long Way Down read super fast but packed such a punch and I hope you like it. Love hearing your opinions!
I love these videos! It's cool getting your thoughts as you're reading.
Pandora’s Star was really, really good. Did companion read of the physical book while listening to the audiobook.
I didn’t *enjoy* The Glass Castle but I felt it was impactful and an important look into her life - I cried at a lot of it, looking at my kids and thinking how I couldn’t fathom how anyone could do what her parents did, and I thought she did a good job of showing how kids think their parents are always right, but her views became more realistic and jaded, yet still she found it hard to cut ties with a toxic family, because she still loves them, which is a hard thing for victims. I thought that insight was useful. Like when you’re thinking “how did no adult step in” and you actually see how situations played out with CPS trying to get involved
That's a great way of putting it!
Very excited to hear Not That Bad is finally out! I listened to Bad Feminist and Hunger this year. Hunger is world-shifting; fantastic book.
I finally finished children of blood and bone! (Yayyy book slumping)
My next books include: the lies of Locke lamora, enigma: the Alan Turing story (I recently watched the imitation game and am now slightly obsessed even though I dislike math)... And the young adult librarian at work ordered ace of shades for me so that'll hopefully be here soon!
Will definitely be deleting Run off my Goodreads TBR shelf. 😅
This is why Strange the Dreamer has sat unread on my shelf for ages. It seems to be a book that people either love or hate. I also worried it was overhyped.
I still need to read strange the dreamer!!
Jay G I enjoyed it!
Really like your videos. I'm currently reading "Outbreak" from Robin Cook.
Great viiiid! I have a whole Emily's to get books list from all your vids. I love them.
I'm so happy you're loving them ❤️
I looooved the glass castle. I recently read it as well and I was very angry at the family. It made me cry and laugh and made me very frustrated.
I enjoyed Roxanne Gays book Hunger on audio book. It's about her being morbidly obese & how society & herself feel about it. Very eye opening & interesting. 3.5/5 which is good for me on non fiction.

Enjoying all of them; it's been a good reading month!
I like reading multiple ones but I need to finish them :P
I'm glad you're having a good reading month!
A long way down is amazing!!
You should watch the movie "The Glass Castle" since you've read the book now. You might like it more as a movie.
I've been in a reading slump for a whle now, but I am SUPER happy that you're going to read 'Contact'~!!!!
I'm planning on reading it this weekend! I'm hoping I'll love it :D
I finished A Storm of Swords part 1 on audibook today. I’m currently reading Renegades and The Red Pyramid and I’m planning to finish them this month before I join a month long Marvel-a-thon that I’m super excited for. 😁
I just started reading Leah On the Off Beat today. After reading Simon Vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I just had to get it.
Have you ever tried the Scribd service? Besides having e-books, they also have many audiobooks! Personally, I am able to find pretty much any book I want to read. The best part is that the price is very affordable, 9 dollars per month and they offer a 30-day free trial, as usual. In my humble opinion, it's way better than Kindle Unlimited or Audible.
I've been binge-watching you while at work the last 2 weeks! The Glass Castle: i haven't read the book but the movie was good!
I need to watch the movie... I'll try to do that this weekend :D
I'm finishing crooked kingdom which I'm really loving it and reading the seven realms series after 💖✨
Haha sorry you didn't like the Run, but it is always funny to see you rant. Most of the books you mentioned, ended up on my TBR
Reviews are the best when the book is either amazing or very bad lol
Meh books end up with meh reviews :P
My reading has been great until I finished Eliza and her Monsters. I LOVE that book. And when I love a book my reading tends to slow down because I’m on a euphoric high. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish a few more books before the month ends.
Just finished An Ember in the Ashes and I’m so surprised how much I enjoyed it! I’m starting the next one today!
Everyone has been talking about it with the 3rd book coming out.. I need to give it a go!
Yay, new video from Emily~😀😊
❤️❤️❤️
I finished Strange Weather by Joe Hill last weekend, it was really good. I started Sea of Rust by C.

I'm almost done reading Number9dream by David Mitchell, a great book so far ! I'll be picking up Red Rising next :)
I've been in a reading slump but I managed to read city of bones by Cassandra Clare and I've been listening to the divergent series. I'm currently on allegent. I still have to read my big book of the month which is game of thrones
I adore The Glass Castle. I agree that some of it is romanticized, but I feel like that more easily shows the author's point of view as a child during this time.
Yup, that's how I felt!
I started Pandora's Star last week and it's really really good so far!!
Yay!! I'm hoping to start it on Monday... I'm excited :D
I just finished the Wayward Pines trilogy, and while I enjoyed the pace (love a good page turner), a lot of the dialogue and writing was pretty amateur and painful, I felt, so I can only imagine how awful Run was... I'm going to read Dark Matter, though, since I've heard good things about it.

I love it when you are still angry and try to review something 🤣 happy I added a Blake Crouch book to my TBR that you liked...
I don't think I'll be calm by the end of the month... or year lol It's for sure going in my "worst of 2018" video!
BookswithEmilyFox looking forward to seeing this. It's a bit how I felt about Red Rising, I read it in February and am still angry, which explains my more than 10min rant on it.

Not That Bad sounds really interesting tbh. Gonna add it to my tbr
I'm loving it so far! It's obviously not a light read (listen?) but it's important!
I need to read Not That Bad ASAP
I'm reading Fool'd Errand by Robin Hobb this weekend😄
I've been meaning to read her books... I haven't started yet because I feel like I'll want to read all of them if I start and there are so many!!
BookswithEmilyFox I'm reading one per month as a part of a readalong hosted by some Hobb fans over at instagram (@hobbsquad) and it's so much fun! I'm loving the experience. Also I love your channel and how you talk about books and genres that are not so popular in the booktube community👌
I just finished Freakonomics and The Picture of Dorian Gray which I really enjoyed!
Freakonomics had some really interesting stats!! Actually wish there had been more!
BookswithEmilyFox I thought the same thing! Some of the ideas were ones I'd heard before (from a political science/economics professor who recommended the book), but it was cool to have real data and the step by step thought processes to go along with it! I really wish it had been longer. That kind of stuff is so up my alley. :P
I had a feeling you wouldn’t enjoy Strange the Dreamer as much. I loved it because I have a soft spot for kind and besotted male characters, so the instalove didn’t bother me as it would have if he had been awful. I hope your next reads are better, Run seems to have been absolutely torturous to read through lol.
I have to say I appreciated that about the main character a lot! I wish there were more like him in fantasy!
Im reading a Patrick Ness Trilogy, book 1 - The Knife of Never Letting Go. Its a middlegrade i believe but im.really enjoying it. Have u read that "Chaos Walking" trilogy? So far it sounds like some space pioneers left the angst of planet earth, settled on "New Earth" and are already having problems like they did on earth. You know they say .... you can take em out of the earth but you cant take the earth outta them. Lmao.
The glass castle is messed up - its a compelling read for sure I finished it in like 2 days but man that is fucked up parenting.

I will tear through only human once I get it - my library has it available just placed a hold I blame you for my obsession with that series!
Space opreas are so awesome!!! I’m such trash for them!
Any favorites? I love them but I haven't read a lot!
I’m starting The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I just finished the Mistborn series- I think it was a mistake to jump from one series to another because I miss Wax and Wayne and the Mistborn world!
But so far so good. I’m also reading The Humans based on your review- I’m like 4 pages in but it’s already funny 👍🏼
You'll have a Sanderson induced slump after all of these :P
I'm glad you're enjoying them - I really need to continue mistborn but at the same time I want to wait a bit until the 4th book is announced!
BookswithEmilyFox hahah I know right?! Once I get in a phase I can’t stop. The fourth one is coming out Sept 2019 *cries*
Long way down is amazing on audio
Sadly my Library doesn't have the audiobook but I can't wait to read it tomorrow!
I hated Run by Blake Crouch just like you did. I was so shocked because I have liked some of his other works so much.
So glad I'm not alone! The reviews are overall pretty positive but I just couldn't deal with it :(
Saaaaame!!
You are funny being angry over a terrible book, I completely understand. 😀
I get angry when there's potential, I had high hopes or when it's from an author I already love.... like come on!!!
Lock in sounds like my worst nightmare. The locked in Syndrome would be one of the worst things that could happen to me. So this book is a big no no for me.
Oh strange the dreamer! I was actually mad at the book! It was so trophy and Lazlo was gay, the only chemistry there was in that book was between him and the alchemist. Overhyped! I loved the glass castle, I think that the fact that the reader is turned is good because it’s clear that the author can’t be objective because they are were her parents and she loves them and they loved her. It makes sense that she realized that they did terrible things, but also she fiercely loves them. That was the beauty of the book, the gray and the sense of hope.
I am so early and I LOVE YOU
❤️
i'm waiting to get waking gods from my library. it says four weeks but who really knows with them -_-
Ahhh that's frustrating! Hopefully you'll enjoy it!
What happened to The Cruel Prince?
Pushed back! Hopefully next month!
I am in the middle of Michio Kaku's new book The Future of Humanity. Its a popular science book about....the future of humanity. Mostly just theories about how/ and where space travel is going to happen. Fun, and would make a great documentary, but I was expecting a bit more science. But it is super accessible!! My hold for the audiobook for Waking Gods just came in and I am really excited to start that!
I'm actually waiting for that one from the Library but I'll have to wait 8 weeks :/
That's awful!!! I was number 2 in hold for mine out of 11 copies. I had to wait 4 days, I am super lucky where I live library system-wise
On the bright side I have so many other books on my TBR (physically and others I'll have access to from my Library any day now...) so it's not too bad but yeah :P
strange the dreamer is a total snoozefest. DNF.
