Your collection of books are gorgeous. I see many editions of books that I want to get for my personal collection. Also, just wanted to say something about your American Girl collection... I have most of the Dear Canada books (which I think is similar to your American Girl books... Not sure), and I love having them out on full display because they are my absolute favourite childhood books even though the writing in them can be considered cringy, but I do love them so much. So don't feel ashamed about showcasing your American Girl books. I take it that they are similar to the Dear America/Dear Canada books?
Thank you for showing your aesthetic bookshelves! I’ve been inspired by your videos to tidy and organize all of my bookcases. 📚 your whole room looks so perfect!!
I love your updated intro! Your reading area is just so beautiful and cozy. Do you take the dust jackets off your books when you read them? Ooh, those Washington Irving books are gorgeous. Do you mind sharing the publisher/edition? I tried reading The Virginian (an Emma-made-me-do it book 😀) but I ended up DNFing it. I really wanted to like it.
If the dust jacket is in good condition, I usually just leave it on. I will take a look and let you know the Irving editions! And lol, that’s fun you tried it at least! You never know what book will speak to you. My mom loved The Virginian, but my dad couldn’t stand it.
I used to have the old ratty mass market paperbacks of Anne of Green Gables before I 'ripped one open' to read the words hidden in the spine and broke the poor book. If you want an affordable collection by a publisher that has beautiful covers, I suggest getting the Arcturus editions that are in the box set. Not sure where you are but where I am, the entire series you can get for $20. I tried collecting the gorgeous Raincoast editions but they are out of print and impossible to find, which broke my heart until I realized that Arcturus (which is a British publisher) has the entire series in these beautiful covers. However, the covers that are in this video make me wish I could find those editions. They must be from an American publisher...
The American Girl books are such a throwback! I absolutely loved them as a kid and am so happy I still have them all. This video is making want to go back and read them again!
Hello, I just found you and enjoyed seeing your wonderful collection! Wow! I am so impressed! BUT I am proud to say I do have some that you don’t have. 😊Forgive my smugness here! But I have a complete collection of vintage hardbound Beverly Nichols, Angela Thirkell, Elizabeth Goudge, DE Stevenson, and Elizabeth Cadell. Now these are my loves. Also all the Betsy- Tracy books. Yea! Don’t we love these old friends!☺️😉😁🌷🌼
I absolutely adored this magical video and your gorgeous dress is to die for. I'm planning to add a lot more penguin English classics to my bookshelves. I'm waiting for To The Lighthouse and Nella Larson 's Passing to teach my mailbox.🤗📚
I love your library. There was another American Girl book that I had. Her name was Abby. I think I only had three of her volumes. Have you read any books by Miss Read? You might like those. There is another Book Tuber that you might like because you have books in common. Her name is Gina Stanyer. Check her out. Great video by the way.
I have been meaning to read more of J.R.R. Tolkien and want to get a nice collection of his Lord of the Rings, and while the editions of the books in this video are absolutely gorgeous, they are extremely expensive where I am because they are considered collector's items. The next trip to the bookstore will probably have me purchase the paperback boxset of Lord of the Rings, the ones with the black covers. But the collection that are in this video are stunning and they seem more hardy with their leather covers than the paperbacks.
Ahh sorry I forgot to add that to the description, just went back and popped the links in! The corner shelf is the Zipcode Design Tisha shelf: www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/zipcode-design-tisha-63-h-x-265-w-solid-wood-corner-bookcase-zpcd4653.html
I still have my American Girl dolls. I used to have a mini book for Samantha. I’m planning on getting the Oxford World Classics editions of Jane Austen’s books.
I have no idea how long it took you to film this video, but it is wonderfully done. Now I have so many new books to look into.💚📚 My bookshelf is overflowing right now and I’ll need to get a new shelf at some point so, thanks for inspiring me to rearrange my shelves.
Ahh that's such a hard question, I feel like they're all must reads! 😂 Shakespeare is so omnipresent in English language classics, I'd say he's a good place to start. The Iliad and the Odyssey are also so epic.
Your 'library' is such a clean and bright looking space! I love it!! 😍😍
Great collection of books too!
This was wonderful, Emma!

I can’t even begin to express the amount of nostalgia I got seeing the American girl books! I need those on my shelf! Beautiful. ☺️
This was lovely. Those editions of L.M. Montgomery's are so beautiful!

@@TiffWaffles Virago Modern Classics is ALSO a British publisher
Have you heard of or read On Prayer by Sister Wendy Beckett. It is lovely.

I know, I'm tempted to reread mine too. 😂 American Girl is so classic!

"51!" She shouts at the screen doing her best impression of Leslie Odom Jr. as AdotBurr. ;)
This is so enjoyable! I’m glad you take the time to tell a little bit more about the books
Thanks! 😊 I didn’t want it too be too long, but it’s also so hard to just say each title and *not* say something about the book itself! 😂
@@BookishPrincess 😄 they deserve the attention ;)
I appreciated that, too! 😍

Just out of curiosity did you major in literature? That’s one hefty book of poems. 😄😳
So fun! I have zero Flannery O'Conner books on my shelves! 😲 I know!! Thanks for taking the time to do your shelf tour! ❤️
your bookshelf set up is stunning 😍🥵
I bought the same JRR Tolkien books after I saw them on your channel. They were the perfect size for reading

Borahae! 💜

Love the pretty new dress! :)
36:38 I love that you kept the footage of the book drop!
The spiral book setup is genius!
😂 I love how open the ladder shelves feel, but that admittedly can happen a lot, I try to remember to keep my taller books on the ends! And thanks!
@@BookishPrincess sure!
Lovely tour thank you. I love a good comprehensive book shelf tour xx
Such great recommendations--many I had never heard of but instantly added to my "to read" list.
My ideal bookshelf tour just wonderful.
Hi! Do you have the link for your corner shelves?
Ahh sorry I forgot to add that to the description, just went back and popped the links in! The corner shelf is the Zipcode Design Tisha shelf: www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/zipcode-design-tisha-63-h-x-265-w-solid-wood-corner-bookcase-zpcd4653.html
I still have my American Girl dolls. I used to have a mini book for Samantha. I’m planning on getting the Oxford World Classics editions of Jane Austen’s books.
Love your intro music!
I love Elizabeth Goudge, too. I love The White Witch and The Deans Watch.

Where did you purchase the Dorothy Sayers books published by Hodder?
This was so perfect! I still have my American Girl books too!
I instantly bought Jane Austen: An Illustrated Treasury. What a gem!!
yay bookish Army!💜 Gorgeous books you have. This is a very cute space that you have built in your home.
I love your choice of books. Those are the types of books I love.
Beautiful home library🧡
Thanks! 📚
That was fun and beautiful collection.
Such a beautiful dress 👗!
Thanks! 😊
new subscriber, this is the most wholesome bookshelf tour :D
Reading/writing space goals
Love it! What classic other than works by Jane Austen do you think is a must read?
Ahh that's such a hard question, I feel like they're all must reads! 😂 Shakespeare is so omnipresent in English language classics, I'd say he's a good place to start. The Iliad and the Odyssey are also so epic.
Truly classic to watch.
😊✨
Beautiful video💙
