I love how you really take the time to review a book. You give me so much information about the book but at the same time it is completely spoiler free.
oh my god! ok so i used to watch you YEARS ago… like back when i was in middle school/early high school (i am now in college).. and i just recently got back into reading and you’re the first person i thought of but i forgot your channel name! i’m so glad i found you!!
I feel the same way about never being scared for the characters in The Eldest Curses series. There will be some big threat where they're like "oh no if we don't stop this bad guy then the world will end" ... but like, we all know that doesn't happen because of the later books 😂 I definitely prefer when those books focus on the interpersonal relationships rather than world-threatening events lol
My most recent reads are Children of Blood and Bone/Virtue and Vengeance, as well as Clockwork Angel. Best books I have ever read so far! Reading Red Queen now and plan to read Clockwork Prince afterwards :D
Okayyyyyy IMMEDIATELY putting The Vanishing Half on my wishlist!!!!!!!! I was debating on getting that one, but you have me so excited to read it now! I love books that emphasize on characters soooooo much & it has been a WHILE since I've read a book where I just really LOVE the characters hahaha
So glad that you helped lead our book discussion at the library, thanks again! :) Truly Devious was an amazing read, and a great audiobook! I am currently reading Hollowpox and loving it as much as the rest of the series. Can't wait to continue!
One thing I would add regarding Adichie is that it's not just that her feminism is cisnormative, she's also said things that were very trans-exclusionary in the past and just recently came out in support of JKR's bullshit, so...........yeah.
*sigh* time to add more books to my tbr 😅 I love your summaries and explanations of books so much, I can't help but to open Goodreads and Storygraph right away 😩
I read lovely war by Julie berry which was really good. And I have read the freedom writer's diary by Erin Gruwell and the freedom writers. I highly recommend both books
Emmmabooks is the best way to spend a friday night 😌 i definitely agreed with what you said about Lost Book of the White. It wasn’t the best written or high stakes, but it was so fun to see the crew together again and the family moments were so sweet
"Warlocks & Sorceresses: The Timeless Grimoire" looks interesting. It's from a new author. It came out on April 30th I think that's why it was overlooked by many readers. Well, I've pre-ordered mine because who doesn't like magic, dragons and urban fantasy in London. Its premise sounds like a prequel to "A Master of Djinn" by P. Djèlí Clark.
I still haven't read Lost Book Of The White or even Red Scrolls of Magic for that matter because I tend to not enjoy Cassie's books with other authors as much, so i think I'll just binge read the eldest curses after Black Volume Of The Dead comes out.
I really loved punching the air too! And can’t wait to read the vanishing half. I’d really recommend looking into Adichie with more detail before considering her future works - she’s been supportive of JKR
My favorite book I've read recently is Long Bright River by Liz Moore! It follows two sisters set in a high drug area of PA. one is a police officer and the other is a drug addict. I HIGHLY recommend it!
EMMA!!!!! I hope you are better, I saw your reading vlog where you got COVID. I read City of Bones earlier in the year and HOLY GUACAMOLE I LOVED IT!! also it was my first time reading it and i cried at the end... is that weird? I neeeeed city of ashes nowwww. Also I listened to the audiobook for Punching The Air and it was fantastic. I haven’t read any other Ibi Zoboi books, so would you recommend any other ones? Pride is on my TBR for March. That was a bit of a random rant. I hope you are healthy!!
Hi love this and hope your feeling better. I’m currently re-reading Chain of Gold and I was wondering if you had any favorite Graphic Novel that you could recommend for me to read. Thank you
I just finished "This Close to Okay" and I'm so angry because it was extremely problematic, would not recommend using a BOTM credit on it. Wish I had a more positive experience to share today, but maybe I can spare someone else the frustration of reading it.
I agree with what you said about We Should All Be Feminists. It didn't necessarily reach a wide spread of feminism. But Chimamanda's other easy Dear Ijeawele included a bit more. I recommend reading her other books as well, her short story collection The Thing Around your Neck (I gave it 5 stars) includes a couple gay/lesbian characters, which I appreciated.
I have also heard some icky things re: CNA and some of her anti-trans thoughts (mostly that she supports/agrees with She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named about those things), which is v disappointing. Very lovely list of things! I'm very intrigued by the first couple books you mentioned, as well as Such A Fun Age and the Vanishing Half, which I have on audio. I've found that I ADORE books in verse on audio, since they're usually read by the author and they have the beautiful cadence and pacing and flow of how the poetry is supposed to go (I also went through a MAJOR Slam Poetry hyperfixation for a while so it reminds me of that), so I of course have Punching The Air on audio, and if you haven't already done Long Way Down or Clap When You Land on audio...highly recommend! And AH I NEED TO GET TO THE NEVERMOOR SERIES! I know people have referenced Series-That-Must-Not-Be-Named when talking about it cuz it gives them those feelz, and I can definitely see that. There's only two other series that have given me feels like that (The Rosewood Chronicles by Connie Glynn and one of my writer friend's 1st book of her series that I'm obsessed with and desperately hope she gets published one day), and I definitely feel like the Nevermoor series would give me those kinds of feels, as well! Thank you for another lovely video! I hope you're doing as well as can be in this COVID March 426 time period and sending you lots of love and hugs if you want them!!!
please read a good girl's guide to murder by holly jackson! such an underrated mystery book (+ its sequel) and i think you'd love it if you liked truly devious! :))
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your feedback. We make our products with high quality ingredients, and we recognize that this comes at a higher price than traditional deodorants. In any case, we think it’s important to avoid aluminum and urge you to use a non-aluminum-based deodorant moving forward. Even if it’s not Native. If you have any questions please let me know!

Okay but can we talk about how her oitgut and make up matches with her room aesthetic! That's just so pretty and satisfying! 🖤
What the Eldest Curses are was revealed at the end of the first book.
With each video I watch of yours, I love your hair colour even more! You look amazinggg

Lovely war is such a beautiful book
I need to read the Truly Devious series this year! And the Vanishing Half :)
Went out and bought the Nevermoor- series after watching your review. Can't wait to start this series! Reading the Mr. Terupt- series now.
I love the Nevermoor series so much!! Hollowpox is my favourite!
I have The Vanishing Half and Such a Fun Age on my TBR. Love how well you review books!
I agree with u on lost book of the white Emma! I hope book 3 is better.
I just started City of Bones because of you! I’m loving it so far!
Emmmabooks is the best way to spend a friday night 😌
i definitely agreed with what you said about Lost Book of the White. It wasn’t the best written or high stakes, but it was so fun to see the crew together again and the family moments were so sweet
i just finished a court of silver flames and i'm soo ready for chain of iron .

I an loving your background! It looks so comfy!
liiiiiiving for your hollowpox thoughts 🥺🥺🥺💞
The Lost Book of the White was simply just fun for me because it could never hold up to the other series
omg yes!!!! this video brings me joy
I still haven't read Lost Book Of The White or even Red Scrolls of Magic for that matter because I tend to not enjoy Cassie's books with other authors as much, so i think I'll just binge read the eldest curses after Black Volume Of The Dead comes out.
Reading the Absolutely Truly (Pumpkin Falls) series and Front Desk series (currently on the 2nd book,Three Keys) Great middle grade reads 🙂
omg i definitely agree with you on the lost book of the white. i wasn’t even threatened by the main villain at all omg 😞😞
Such a Fun Age sounds interesting. I might have to pick that up.
Emma: and that is...
Ads: plays
Me: let’s watch these ads because Emma does work hard for us
i already watched the punching the air documentary a while back but im still putting this on my list
I really loved punching the air too! And can’t wait to read the vanishing half. I’d really recommend looking into Adichie with more detail before considering her future works - she’s been supportive of JKR
emma!!! are you going to read a court of silver flames? i really love it!!!
My favorite book I've read recently is Long Bright River by Liz Moore! It follows two sisters set in a high drug area of PA. one is a police officer and the other is a drug addict. I HIGHLY recommend it!
I've read Radio Silence and it was amazinggggggg
Lol I just came from your Universal Studios Orlando vlog to see how you were doing now 😭
EMMA!!!!! I hope you are better, I saw your reading vlog where you got COVID.
I read City of Bones earlier in the year and HOLY GUACAMOLE I LOVED IT!! also it was my first time reading it and i cried at the end... is that weird? I neeeeed city of ashes nowwww.
Also I listened to the audiobook for Punching The Air and it was fantastic. I haven’t read any other Ibi Zoboi books, so would you recommend any other ones? Pride is on my TBR for March.
That was a bit of a random rant. I hope you are healthy!!
When you said the Nevermoor audios were narrated by Gemma Doyle 😂 😂 😂
lmfaoooo that's so funny i didn't even realize!!
I love these videos
Will you be doing a spoiler filled reading vlog for Chain of Iron?
Hi love this and hope your feeling better. I’m currently re-reading Chain of Gold and I was wondering if you had any favorite Graphic Novel that you could recommend for me to read. Thank you

You've completely sold me on Such a Fun Age!
Luv it!!😍
What a fabulous booktuber.
I just finished "This Close to Okay" and I'm so angry because it was extremely problematic, would not recommend using a BOTM credit on it. Wish I had a more positive experience to share today, but maybe I can spare someone else the frustration of reading it.
I read , This will be funny someday and it was so beautiful a true work of art
Do you have a favorite contemporary book?
Yes! I just finished SUCH A FUN AGE did such a good job showing different versions the white savior complex
I agree with what you said about We Should All Be Feminists. It didn't necessarily reach a wide spread of feminism. But Chimamanda's other easy Dear Ijeawele included a bit more.

I have no idea if you’ve read The Toll by Neil Shusterman, if you have any way I can find the video.
According to Emma's Goodreads profile, she has not read The Toll yet!
