    I'm a silent subscriber but I can't help but leave a comment because I tremendously enjoyed watching this, Emma. Here in the Philippines, we do not have free library boxes and even public libraries, especially on far-flung communities that need them the most. It's really sad and frustrating, not to mention how expensive books are here in our country. Anyway, this inspired me to build a library box of my own someday.
    And since I am already here I just wanted to say that I adore you and you are my favorite booktuber for we have the same literary taste. And we both love cats! Hoping that you will get to feature on your book from every country in the world series the Philippine literature. I once saw on your bookshelf tour a copy of Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere. I highly recommend that, too. Hugs and blessings, Emma! 💖

    Seeing Great Expectations brings back a memory of when i was married - my wife didn't do well in school & would have liked to be a book reader, but couldn't get in to it. I suggested that she pick a book of mine and i'd read it to her, so she picked Great Expectations & over several evenings i read it to her. About 2/3 through, i asked what she thought so far - ''The story is really good, but Pip's a f***wit''. I'd say that as reviews go, that's pretty much on target.

    The box you visit at 06:06, did you notice top right there are two copies of Philisopher’s Stone and the one that’s upside down has the original wizard on the spine (as opposed to having Dumbledore on it like the later ones did). Probably worth a take if you didn’t already have that version.

    1) Love your brother, absolutely hilarious, growing up with him must have been a lot of fun
    2) Anyone who wants a book rec needs to read "I Will Always Write Back" by Caitlin Alifirenka and Martin Ganda. A joint memoir about an American girl and Zimbabwean boy meeting through a penpal scheme and how that changed both their lives. If I was the type of person to cry at books I would have been sobbing with feel good tears and also tears tears. 5 stars

    I'm catching up with your videos, so this is the first glimpse I've seen of your new apartment. It looks so nice and welcoming :) It's also really cool there are those little libraries around. It's not good that some of them don't have doors, though. The books need a little bit of protection. That one was super large and fancy with its double door, though.

    The lies of lock lamora is honestly one of the best fantasy entries ever, like probably top 5 for any fantasy nerd you'll ever meet. It's waaay better than some of the fantasy books I've seen you reading. Plus it's a trilogy, and I'm sure you'll buy the next 2 books when you're halfway through the first, Scott is just a master of this craft and his characters are some of the best, and the friendships he wrote are probably the best ever in fiction, this is all my humble opinion but I'm pretty sure anyone who've read this would agree, wholeheartedly

    Lies of Locke Lamora is a personal favourite!
    The only downside is that the series only has a few books out and the 4th installation is delayed; but each book is insular enough that it's not a big deal.

    It's always fun to find hidden gems in those little libraries. Thank you for your submissions, I'm sure it will make countless people happy to find great books. SPOILERS: Just finished One Hundred Years of Solitude, it was amazing! Loved the dreamlike narrative, and the struggle to keep nature (animals, weeds) and their human natures at bay in the Buendia household. I'm glad that the mystery of the Melquiades papers was revealed too. I like how memory plays such a big role in the book. How is your reread going?

      I am happy to report that I have just found my first free little library in Brazil (alas, it is not on their website) and the books are doing fine, nobody stole them! Some people spray painted an old fridge (with the title "Geloteca") and put it in the middle of a square, it looks amazing!
      It is basically filled with children's books, old notebooks (?), cooking books, religious propaganda, etc. Not many novels, unfortunately. My daughter insisted that I should bring home and old encyclopedia and I did find a book from my childhood, that I just had to bring home - it was a very lucky find, in great condition.
      I'm planning to visit it with a load of books to donate, very soon.

      @*emmie* I’m glad! 🥰that’s the thing about larger cities- there so much more diverse in good food and culture. Keep enjoying the little wins!
