- welcome back to another reading vlog - it took me a little bit but I finally decided to count all the books I own since a lot of you have been asking :) There's also a huge lightning storm at the start of this vlog so if your eyes like mine can't handle the flashing lights please skip to 1:06! I also can't stop smiling and thinking about how extremely charming and magical A Castle in the Clouds was, I ended up loving it so so much. How was your week????

I love that the beginning is really calm and slow which give us time to really get into the video. I hate when people scream at us "WELCOME BACK TO MY CHANNEL!!!!" ^^
luffyyyy
Luffy san
"All of us are survivors, until we aren't anymore." How profound. Literally laughed out loud at that.
There's this poetry collection called Mother Love by Rita Dove that was published in 1996. I have no idea how that book fell into my hands, but it was an actually interesting and thoughtful collection based on Demeter and Persephone. It is weird how modern poetry almost has a time limit to recommend it, so I've never really talked about Mother Love. But I honestly think you'd like it (at the very least, you'd like it more than that fire kindling calling itself poetry 👀).
"Umm. You used paper for that?"
Gonna use this line when I write reviews for books I dislike 😂
Riya Sarda there’s this shelf i read on goodreads that someone had, “trees had to die for this?”
Hi emmie! I discovered your channel quite recently but your videos bring me so much peace, sometimes i rewatch them just to have your gentle and soothing voice in the background. Thank you for making us all relax 🥰 even if it’s unknowingly
"all of us are survivors until we are not anymore"
yes einstein we know that. reading "modern" poetry books is a pain.
I'm so excited that you're reading Castle in the Clouds, Kerstin Gier is one of my favoruite authors :D I would highly recommend her "Dream" triology, it has kinda the same vibe as the Castle but it's set in a fancy British school and it's about a group of mysterious boys who seem to be able to visit other people's dreams and manipulate them!
Emma, that intro is so atmospheric and lovely! And as always, I love hearing you talk -- regardless of what the topic is.
Since you are always giving us bookworms good recommendations thought I would recomend The Once And Future King by T H White its a retelling of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table with humor mixed in
I miss those kinds of thunderstorms. We do get thunder out here on the west coast, but it's not as common, and when it does happen, it's likely to set large swaths of forest on fire so it's harder to enjoy the experience. sigh. I got a good chuckle out of your comments about the poetry book. I also bought a contemporary poetry book. It wasn't BAD poetry. It was mediocre poetry. A few of the poems were "nice". But it felt like I was reading someone's high school poetry journal AND after a dozen pages I was pretty convinced I was reading the same poem, using the words, just reworked slightly to say the same thing over and over and over... What made it worse was that apparently the author is wildly popular. So that's a depressing thought, that culturally we have such a low bar for the writing arts. Well, to each their own. I gifted the book to someone who was delighted to receive it.
book recommendation if you like hotel settings - “the post office girl” by stefan zweig. it was one of wes anderson’s inspirations for the grand budapest hotel!
also "Schachnovelle" (Chess Story) by the same author! Really quick read yet really profound
i'm obsessed with your videos, they´re such a masterpiece. they bring me so much joy and you´re so calm aargh i love it
That book of poetry sounds like a collection of wannabe deep tumblr posts tbh.
Also you doing the math on how many read/unread books you own really made me feel better about how many books I've bought this year. I mean, I love having a lot of options because I'm a complete mood reader, but things have gotten slightly out of hand these past few months, lol. 😅
Any mention of Rilke makes me way too happy haha
Hi! So, I recently found your channel and I love it! A usted to read a lot, like two books a week more or less. But I start being so busy and I couldnt read, and in my free time, I preferd watching netflix. But you have inspire me a lot, and I am reading again!! So I just wanna thank you, also I'm from Spain and your videos help me to practice English (I think it's a beautiful lenguage)🤍
PLEASE do a whole video talking about the modern poetry books if you haven't already! I want to hear your thoughts.
I would recommend the princess doesn't save herself this time poetry is really amazing and beautifully written. This was the first poetry that I actually really liked and it got me back into reading poetry.
your channel is such a safe space🥰 i’ve put so many of your recs on my tbr! so glad to have found you!!
ahhh yess! i was honestly looking forward to this all day xx
Oh my god these videos are actually my heart and soul, loved the vlog Emma, and much love as always!❤️❤️
i got this notification right as i finished reading howls moving castle WHAT PERFECT TIMING
Yess please make a video about modern poetry books
Stanisław Lem is polish writer (from my country!) that's great that you're enjoying it! ❤😍😊
Those are gorgeous nature shots and I love it so much. And the music you used is top notch!
What an adorable puppy friend!
It's so fun to count your books. I do that from time to time too.
And I love your new artwork.
Really enjoyed this :).
I got to know your channel very recently and I fell in love immediately and now I cannot stop watching all of your vlogs and videos! I want to thank you for all the amazing content you offer and produce I really find comfort and peace in watching your videos though we don’t really have the same taste in books but I find your reading choices very interesting which makes me want to keep watching!
Ah this was such a lovely vlog again! They also have a sleepy time tea with vanilla flavor, it’s much nicer!
So jealous of your stormy weather! We don't get storms like that in my part of the Pacific Northwest US. 😭
I've basically given up on contemporary poetry. I've tried so many times to appreciate it, but it all reads the same to me -- cringey pretentious pseudo-deep prose with arbitrary line breaks that amount to little more than banal aphorisms. The work of truly gifted poets like Rilke, Mary Oliver, and Cummings (among so many others!) has set the standard too high for me.
It's been a while since I last counted my personal library, but I do know that at least half of them are unread. I was trying to whittle that down this year but bought/brought home another 20-30 new books over the summer and completely borked it. 😂 Ah well, at least we're never without something exciting to grab next!
hahaha i LOVED your honesty on aphrodite made me do it
I’m definitely gonna save A Castle in the Clouds to read around Christmas
And English literature videos?? Yayyyy!! I’m sooo excited for these!! I’ll actually start my first year in a little over a month😱
Also... “You don’t have to forgive, but you can?”😭😭
10:18 the book you are introducing in this part is called Sailer Moon in Korea, your video is so cozy and I subscribed🙏🏻
Yes to the video about poetry! 🖤
your vlogs give my life so much quality♥
thank you so much for being such an inspiration♥
living for that storm 🌧 ahh Sailor Moon, I'm loving our little chats so much 🥰
I can never get along with modern poetry either
you always look so pretty, Emma!
I've been meaning to read A Castle in the Clouds! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it makes me want to pick it up even sooner!
Rain is the best. It feeds my internal dark academia and bi girl cabin in the woods aesthetic cravings. Lovely video Emma, hope you can get to your physical tbr to zero soon. Love your blogs x.
Ps. I don't know if you have read Shakespeare's Twelfth night, I'm listening a bbc radio adaptation and is great, hope I can listen your thoughts someday x
That was my first WS play. It must have been the last year of elementary school - like 6th grade. Where was it? Who can remember? Fred Gwynne starred as Sir Toby Belch.
@@jamesduggan7200 Is a great play to start Shakespeare, I started with Macbeth and I love the tragedies, but there is something lovely and unique about the comedies isn't? The one I'm listening to is the BBC3 1998 production :)
I'm from Wisconsin but I go to school out in Utah and the very first clip just made me really miss rain and thunder and lightning storms :(
i just stumbled upon your channel and i'm absolutely in love with your content, like this is my fourth video now haha, i have been binge-watching your videos, thank you for the great content
the moon earring!!!!! ahhhhh ✨also i don't even want to check how many books i have.........lowkey terrified to ever find out HAHA
I started reading Rilke because of you. And may I say it, it is an absolute delight.
The intro is actual goals! I aspire to be as aesthetic as you 💓
"you used paper for that?" omg i laughed out loud!
loved the music selection!!!!! just so good
it's so nice to see that you like a book written by a Pole
i’m ashamed that I haven't read it myself yet
Your vlogs are like balm to my soul! Much love 💕
Talking about isolated hotels, have you read the shining??
I haven’t but I have it on hold on Libby! Hoping to get it in time for Halloween 🙃
@@emmiereads I hope you'll like it. One of the best of King.
5:00 Loveee your makeup girl ;)
I love when it thunders but only when Im home
So I overheard the title of the book you talked about in the beginning... and I was like "oh yeah, that sounds like this book by Kerstin Gier" and then you said SOPHIE.
I got so confused because I was pretty sure the girl in Wolkenschloss was not called Sophie. But apparently they changed it when translating it (I'm German).
She's originally called Fanny, and I love this book with all my heart.
And please check out the original cover! It's purple and after you read the book, you will appreciate the detail on it.
God, I just really love this book
Yes, the noun "fanny" in British refers to either a butt or a female reproductive organ. I guess they just picked Sophie to avoid that.
@@annemontgomery3890 OMG, I didn't know that! That makes sense😂
oh wow, looking at your shelves i wouldn’t guess you had near to 400 books. that’s cool though. i do hope one day to have such an expansive and lovely collection. i would have to agree and say that i constantly need options for what to read next. it’s just an experience picking your next book !
i seriously love how you edit your vids
Thank you so much!
I swear it never looks as if there's as many books as there are on shelves ahaha, I always vastly underestimate how many I have
you make me want to read the sailor moon so much, even though I'm not exactly fond of mangas lol
I guess if Aphrodite wants you to do it... don't. 😂
Girl, I so understand the post-panic-attack exhaustion. Ugh. I love a good cup of lemon balm tea before bed, especially after a panicky day. It's not a knock-out sleep aid, but it's very relaxing and has a really nice taste and texture. Have you tried it?
I'm so sorry you can't go back to uni this semester. I've been in that place where it feels like your life is on pause while everyone else's is still rolling along, and it truly sucks. But I guess the bright side is that you'll miss the frustration of pandemic-era schooling? 😂 Seriously, though, I've been there, I get it, and setting up a little curriculum for myself and calling it "schoolwork" really helped.
I'm curious to count my own books now. I'm sure it won't be as many as yours, but probably fairly close if I count all the children's books I kept!
Gosh i wanted to like Solaris so badly! But i kept falling asleep while reading it lol.
Have you read Mary Oliver? I think you might like her poetry and essays
Just wanted to say your videos are so beautiful and I look forward to seeing them 😍❤️
that means the world thank you so much
9:24 i don't think the hotel is a real hotel, but the author is German and, knowing her other YA trilogies where she also mentioned famous real life people, of course she would make famous german people stay in there to show how old and prestigious the hotel is...bUT ALSO: Castle in the clouds also made me really happy when I read it and I am looking for more books that take place in hotels, can your recommend any?
Anyone know what song was playing during the intro? It is beautiful.
Thx, Emma, enjoyed.
May i know where you buy that map (6:02) from…?
i adore the music in the beginning! does anyone know what it’s called?
ah I always forget to add the music in the description, I'll make sure to get better at that! It's A New Beginning by Esther Abrami :)
* e m m i e * thanks so much! i’m soo forgetful too so i know the feeling 😅
Loved this review!!
i love this video 🥰
that book has so many good reviews on goodreads that I feel bad for people who read it
You make me smile so much and not going to lie, was waiting for this video today! ☺️ Have you ever read the poem "Echo and Narcissus" by Ted Hughes? If not, I think you might like it. Hope you had a lovely week too 😊
Or even better, listen to Hughes reading it. That thick Welsh brogue is intense.
Yay love you! 😍❤
Why aren't you going back to uni?? Did you graduate or just taking a gap semester?
Nhooom 🥰❤
why do you keep reminding me of dakota Johnson?
Why would someone wants to skip stormy night... With voice of cloud cracking. Its the best...
A lot of people are photosensitive
🌹🩷
anyone else getting really nice cottagecore bisexual vibes?? love it✨
One line on a whole page and this appears throughout that book of 'modern poetry'? Someone needs to speak to the publisher and writer about the 'death' of trees!
