I totally agree with you on North & South - I definitely have been heavily comparing it to P&P and I can't pick a favorite, lol. I was so surprised by how much I loved it! So excited to hear your thoughts!
I just read The Man Who Died Twice and loved it! I think the mystery was better than the first book, but the friendship building in the first is (obviously) better. Can’t wait to see your challenge vlog!
I’m planning to read my first Octavia E. Butler this year! I’m super excited! I also like the challenge! I might try and adapt it for my own reading to challenge me to read more of my owned books.
Dude, my first Octavia E Butler was a short story and it was dystopian sci fi set in another planet and had "Male Pregnancy"! The way she dealt with it was Wow. I'm so curious of her next books.
I love the One Week, One Shelf challenge! I have a sci-fi book that I won't get to this month, so I can play along with that one. I also still need to get a copy of North and South, I've wanted to read that for years.
I just read Are Prisons Obsolete and It's Not About The Burqa (got inspired by your non-fiction tbr) and I loved them both! They're really short and accessible and very thought provoking !
Love the one week one shelf vlogs. Looking forward to your reaction to Wild Seed. It was my introduction to Octavia E. Butler, and it has been a while since I reread it. I think it is time to pick it up again.
I really enjoyed The Richard Osman! It's one of my favourite cosy mystery novel series of all times now ☺ Definitely want to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow this year too
The only Octavia E. Butler I've ever read is Wildseed and I just hated it (which is why it has remained my only encounter with OEB so far 😅). So I'm really looking forward to your review of it because if you like it just as much as the rest of her work, then I know OEB is simply not for me. BTW totally agree on North and South. Love that book to pieces and in my mind, it belongs to the same tier as Pride and Prejudice. I can also really recommend the BBC adaption!
The best of luck with your February TBR Emily- I'll be reading North and South next month for the classics book club. I've never read any of Octavia E Butlers works but The parable of the sower sounds intriguing.
I love your reading challenges 😊 even if the challenges make u feel a little stressed 😂😂😂 keep it going !! Loving your booktube 🙌🏻 greetings from Chile 👽🛸
I haven't fully figured out my february tbr yet because I'm trying to finish up a couple more books this month. I'm about to finish The Kaiju Preservation Society for patreon book club and maybe I'll have time to finish Ninth House after that. In february I'd love to finish Ninth House and read How To Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix, and continue a couple series (I'm thinking Hell Bent, Truly Devious series, and the Atlas Paradox). maybe also throw in a nonfiction or two :)
I hope you will read Remnant Population soon as I just ordered it after watching one of your more recent videos. And, before that, I have never heard of Elizabeth Moon. But after researching, i just knew she is such a prolific writer!! I have been living in a cave!! My copy hasn’t arrived yet and i am very eager to read Remnant Population cuz if i like that one, that means i will have a ton more by her i can go to next!🤞🏻
I only have one determined read in February and it's the Mysterium from the writer of Spin. This is the book I picked for the year long Magical Readathon's side readathon :D And I hope I can finish the books I already started, A memory called empire and The twyford code. February is usually very busy workwise so I don't read a lot so 3 books should be doable.
I'm waiting for you to do the unread books challenge and pick a slip for one that you've already read for another challenge (like this one) and then you'd have the pleasure of putting that slip aside. I recently finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and it was pretty good. Wasn't really expecting one of the plot twists, because I'd had an idea in my mind of something else happening instead. I like being surprised like that.
I just picked up my copy of North and South from my bookstore. 🥰 I've been wanting to read it since I watched the miniseries a few years ago. Your book club gave me the push to finally do it. Getting back into classics this year. I don't think I've read one since 2012? Maybe?
I'm so excited for your one week ine shelf challenge and I'm so curious about North and South I love the tv series with Patrick Swayze or did you mean another tv series?
The wall is my favorite book!! Such beautiful writing, nature, very sweet animals (cats! A dog and a lovely cow) , soltitude , mountains, planting potatoes and picking raspberries. For me the main question of the book is what does it mean to be a woman when there is no society or other people around to play the female role for. A feminist utopia
Octavia E Butler she is my all time favorite author! Love her books so much unique and outstanding 🖤🤎🧡💓📖💖💖💜💚❤️🩹❤️🩹💜💖💔❤️📖💛🤎🧡🤎📚📚❤️🔥❤️🔥📚🖤💛💗💗💕💕💝💝📙❤️🔥📚❤️📖💙💖💖💜❤️🩹❤️🩹💜💙💙❣️❣️❣️💗💗💘

What’s on your TBR for February?
Yay! Can’t wait to read wild seed in the book club
The bad seed ❤
Working my way through The Dark Forest (20% in - so good!), then I want to read Normal People and Razorblade Tears before jumping into Death's End.
Veronica Spredwell, Malibu rising 🥰
currently working my way through The City Of Dusk, it has 550 pages & I am 115 pages into the book & I recommend it if you like fantasy ❤️
Richard Osman grew up in Brighton his mother lives in a retirement home there which is where he got inspiration for his books.
I love your French pronunciation of "Suffragette."
Is that not how you say it? lol
@@BookswithEmilyFox you pronounced it right, it just sounds much more elegant with a French accent ☺️
I totally agree with you on North & South - I definitely have been heavily comparing it to P&P and I can't pick a favorite, lol. I was so surprised by how much I loved it! So excited to hear your thoughts!
Wild Seed was a my first book by Octavia Butler. One of my favourite books. Anyanwu and Doro are the main characters
I just read The Man Who Died Twice and loved it! I think the mystery was better than the first book, but the friendship building in the first is (obviously) better. Can’t wait to see your challenge vlog!
I’m planning to read my first Octavia E. Butler this year! I’m super excited! I also like the challenge! I might try and adapt it for my own reading to challenge me to read more of my owned books.

I'm so curious of her next books.
Same here, I read Bloodchild as a free short story and was hooked. I read Kindred next and had the same reaction as Emily. 🙂
I love the One Week, One Shelf challenge! I have a sci-fi book that I won't get to this month, so I can play along with that one. I also still need to get a copy of North and South, I've wanted to read that for years.
The Man Who Died Twice was so good! I hope you enjoy it. I laughed and (almost) cried.
Oh that's good to hear!
North and South. One of my favorites. I saw the show first and loved it so much that I read the book, which is even better.
This is such a fun idea and a great way to get to some books that are often overlooked. Hope you have a great month and the pulls continue to be nice.
The Man Who Died Twice is my favorite of the 3.
Yay scifi!! Can't wait to see what you end up picking to vlog. :D
I just read Are Prisons Obsolete and It's Not About The Burqa (got inspired by your non-fiction tbr) and I loved them both! They're really short and accessible and very thought provoking !
Super excited for the vlog!

Good luck with your reading in February!!
I just finished lilith's brood thrilogy, I understand your hype!
Did u know Octavia Bulter has graphic novel editions? It’s beautiful
Yaaay so glad the 1 week 1 shelf is back 💗☺️
The only Octavia E. Butler I've ever read is Wildseed and I just hated it (which is why it has remained my only encounter with OEB so far 😅). So I'm really looking forward to your review of it because if you like it just as much as the rest of her work, then I know OEB is simply not for me.

I am SO THRILLED you love North and South. Elizabeth Gaskell is my favorite author ❤
Doro from Wild Seed still haunts me
The best of luck with your February TBR Emily- I'll be reading North and South next month for the classics book club. I've never read any of Octavia E Butlers works but The parable of the sower sounds intriguing.
I'm going to be finishing the alloy of law series by Brandon sanderson and want to read way of kings and Brandon's January secret project
I love your reading challenges 😊 even if the challenges make u feel a little stressed 😂😂😂 keep it going !! Loving your booktube 🙌🏻 greetings from Chile 👽🛸
Have you read Fledgling by Octavia E Buttler yet? The beginning was a little rough to get through!
Yay! I want to read Wild Seed. But all the books in the poll sounded so great- it was tough to choose!
They’ll be back on the list next month… and the next one. Until they win lol

The only Octavia Butler book I've read was Dawn...and I thought it was horrible. Haven't been able to bring myself to read another.
I hope you will read Remnant Population soon as I just ordered it after watching one of your more recent videos. And, before that, I have never heard of Elizabeth Moon.

Nice :)
I just picked up my copy of North and South from my bookstore. 🥰 I've been wanting to read it since I watched the miniseries a few years ago. Your book club gave me the push to finally do it. Getting back into classics this year. I don't think I've read one since 2012? Maybe?

You should try selling your edition of Seed to Harvest, it sells for almost $150 on Amazon now...
👀
But like… I wouldn’t be able to say I own this ugly version tho…
Parable of the Sower
The Drunken Botanist
😊
I'm so excited for your one week ine shelf challenge and I'm so curious about North and South I love the tv series with Patrick Swayze or did you mean another tv series?
She means the BBC series with Richard Armitage - look it up it’s really good
Patrick Swayze’s North and South is from the book by a different author
February already? 😵💫
Aka: me denying time
I’m starting my one week one shelf this weekend so I can post them all in February so it is soon for me 😂
📚❤️
The wall is my favorite book!! Such beautiful writing, nature, very sweet animals (cats! A dog and a lovely cow) , soltitude , mountains, planting potatoes and picking raspberries. For me the main question of the book is what does it mean to be a woman when there is no society or other people around to play the female role for. A feminist utopia
Hope you'll like it!
I’m really hoping to read it in March!!
1:34 For a second I thought you said last year I read 500 books and I was about to have a heart attack lol
Could you do a video about feminist books? Im trying to read more of those!
