Debt by David Graeber, Swordheart by Kingfisher Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater Black water sister by Zen Cho Work A history of how we spend our time by James Suzman
I want to reread Dead Silence (SA Barnes?) and Tooth and Claw (Jo Walton ) and funnily enough, also started a reread of Mansfield Park after too many years. I love Jane Austen so it's going nicely.
I plan to finish 2-3 series and (finally) continue the one the author of which is the same nationality as me, that I was putting off cause loved the 1st book and now anxious about the other 2😅
“The wall” is one of my godmothers' favoured books. She read it multiple times. I read it once, and I agree that it is excellent. But it was also an agonising read and I would not read it a second time for “fun” 📚
Are Prisons Obsolete? Is a really quick read. I thought she did a great job of explaining all the prisons associated with the prison system but I wasn’t totally convinced by her argument that abolishing prisons is the only solution. She brushed over some pretty major counterarguments in the end, I felt
Mansfield Park is possibly my favourite book of all time! I really hope you'll like it! Please remember that just because Fanny isn't very vocal, that doesn't mean she isn't strong.
I agree. Fanny Price is probably the strongest of all of Austen’s heroines in terms of inner strength - though her strength often gets confused with submissiveness
Fanny is in a difficult situation. She can't really aford to rock the boat. For the servants she is part of the family, for the family she is mostly part of the staff or a family pet. She is also always in danger of being sent back to her own family which by now she doesn't have much in common with.
Emily!!! You need to read Brave New World. It’s dystopian and you’ll love it. It will make you sad and angry and it will just make you scared for the future 😂 oh it’s perfect. Bonus points for being a classic and making you think about how could this author have known! 😅
The Wall sounds great. I love that the main characters are an older woman, a cow, a cat and a dog. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that one especially, Emily. Ooo I definitely want to read Mansfield Park. I've been saving it ☺
I think Jane Austen is hard even if English is your first language. I just read Pride and Prejudice a week or so ago, which was my first by her and struggled. I was very familiar with the story through one of the movie adaptations, thankfully, as it helped me follow along. I was still lost half the time, though I did enjoy it. I hope you enjoy your reads and have a great month.
I'm excited about my March TBR! I want to for sure read Tress of the Emerald Sea, Daughter of the Moon Goddess. Bear Town and Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow. That's what I want to read today. But I'm a mood reader. There is no telling what may distract me or strike my fancy.
The Change is on my current TBR pile. I loved her YA books and I'm looking forward to this book! Mansfield Park is my favorite Jane Austen. I hope you love it.
I recently read Mansfield Park and it took me a bit to enjoy Fanny as a POV character. She's not really weak, she's just very shy and afraid to speak up. And she's got some reason to be afraid to speak up, so it's understandable. In some regards, it's a coming of age story as well. Once you see it as that, it gets much better.
I’m so excited you’re reading Elizabeth Moon! Her Vatta’s War series is one of my all time favourites and it made me fall in love with sprawling space operas as a teenager. Seriously, she made me care about interplanetary trade of farming equipment.
I’ve been holding off on reading Remnant Population until you do so yes I’ll be reading it with you! I’m hopeful I’ll finally be out of my slump some time next month.
Imagine how exciting it will be the first time you pick a book from the "Read It or Unhaul It" bag that you happened to get to already! My hold for The Lost Metal just came in so I will also be reading it in March. I also finally got a copy of A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, so I'm excited to also finally read that.
I read Mansfield Park last year (after multiple attempts) and surprisingly really enjoyed it! Even though Fanny is not the badass heroines of today's novels, she's a very strong and morally principled character. And many of the characters around her will seem pretty familiar to a modern audience - especially the Crawford siblings - in my opinion. There's a lot of themes around morality and religion (and the contradicting actions of the supposed genteel class), which I found fascinating (despite being an atheist myself).
I had the same thing with Jane Austen. I read like 60% of Northanger Abbey and I want to finish it but it just takes me ages. I’m not a native english speaker to so I’m really glad the ebooks habe translators 😂 but the way the sentences are structured is just something I have to find a way to access. But I love her Humor and how you often times can hear the sarcasm and the fun she was having through the pages😂
"Are Prisons Obsolete" is really good!! I listened to it as an audiobook (read by the author) in January. I actually found it because you talked about it, and then I realized it was in my app. I've been on a "short non-fiction books" binge since then, and I'm lovin' it! (typing this while eating McD influenced me a little)
in March I want to finish The Change by Kirsten Miller, and read Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield, Wrong place Wrong time by Gillian McAllister, I’m glad my mom died by Jennette McCurdy, and maybe One last stop by Casey McQuiston and You Just Need To Lose Weight by Aubrey Gordon! I have been reading so much more lately it makes me so happy
OMG I felt the same way with Jane Austen! English's not my first language either and when I started getting more fluent in English in high school, I picked up Sense and Sensibility and it sounded so peculiar but now I'm also giving it a second chance! I just started and I'm so excited. I've read parts of her novels for my uni courses but I didn't quite connect to them for various reasons (not her fault! hah)
My TBR grows everything you do these videos, lol! You always find some interesting non-fiction. I am looking forward to A Day of Fallen Night, so if the first 3rd is good so far that is promising.
Excited to hear your thoughts on The Wall! I hope you dont expect a lot of plot or action or focus on the sci-fi/speculative aspect because it is more a quiet novel about daily life in the mountains. I bought "I who have never known men" after watching your wonderful review, so I'm excited to read that one next!
A Day of Fallen Night is also on my tbr and I’ve preordered the audiobook! 👌🏻👌🏻 Also on my March TBR is a cosy fantasy romcom called Witch Please and I’m hoping it’s as delightful as I have built it up to be in my head. 😂
Fun. I've read The Change. I think you'll like it. I'll read Galatea with you since there is an ebook on Scribd. I liked Madeleine Miller's Song of Achilles and I really want to read Circe. I am going to pick up some Octavia E Butler per your recommendation. Hope kitty is doing well. :)
I found The Wall recently at Barnes&Noble, so I'm hoping to read that soon. Right now im reading Light from Uncommon Stars, which feels like I'm going to be giving it 5 stars. I'm loving it!
I finished Are Prisons Obsolete? just a few days ago and ended up underlining so much, I feel it's such a valuable first step for learning about...wow, so much more than just the prison system, really. So much packed into such a little book, I can't wait to read Davis' other works.
I am planning to read the first book of a French author Absolu les mobilisés by Margot Dessene. A young adult dystopia in the same vibe as attack of the titans, hunger games, Dgray man and full metal alchemist . Can't wait to see what you are gonna to think of Mansfield Park Thanks for this video !
Wild Seed was my first Octavia E. Butler novel, I liked it! I immediately read Kindred and Parable of the Sower and I think Kindred was the best, but Wild Seed was actually really interesting to me!
The Lost metal is so good - I read it this month and really enjoyed it! And he gives the female characters big roles in this one :) I also want to read know my name this year and Galatea but my library doesn't have it yet!
I'm getting slumpy now, but I've had a great year so far. I finished 31, only one tnf and only 1 on my pile of shame. My five stars are Kindred, Tender Morsels, Pandora's Jar, Gwendy's Final Task, and All Quiet on the Western Front. (Technically The Diary of Anne Frank belongs too but that feels weird)
I am currently reading The Change by Kirsten Miller, and I think that it could be right up your alley! listen, it is marked as magical realism but also as mystery thriller and paranormal! I think you would like that it is following 3 older women (in their late 30s/40s I believe or maybe 50s). I am at 40% and I am LOVING IT!
my god I wrote this comment at the start of the video and just realized it is on your March TBR! I find it REALLY GOOD so far! they are 3 older women who start being friends and they each have a « power » and they team up to solve murders of young girls! I can’t wait to watch your wrap up :)
I just discovered an amazing sci-fi novel, “The Moonday Letters” by Emmi Itaranta. Please give it a chance, happy reading and good luck with your March tbr.
What a coincidence, I just read The Wall this month. Finally, after a friend lent it to me 2 years ago. I'm so curious what you will think. Because it's by an Austrian author, and the setting and writing is ... very Austria in the 1960s. XD
I love hate Virginia Woolfe and since my tbr only has like 5 books, maybe ill read Orlando in March 🤣 Also Mansfield Park is great Fanny is on the sideline of the plot, so its kind of a concept novel, what if the plot happens around the main character. But unlike other Authors( Woolf, looking at you) Jane Austen can pull concepts like this of
I’ve just started reading an oldie from Emily Henry. “A Million Junes”. I didn’t even know she had pre-Beach Read books, but, SURPRISE, she has! And this one is Y/A, the sort of book that I thought I’d never read again… Especially having instalove right there. 😂 But I also thought I’d never read a contemporary romance again and she made me read three, so… here we are. It’s a romance, obviously, but, SURPRISE AGAIN, also kind of sci-fi with magical realism elements (???). Thing is, it’s soon to give a verdict, but, so far, I admit I’m liking it. Besides, it’s fun to see how much she evolved as a writer, although her signature style is definitely there. She’s always been the queen of easy banter, I must say…
I haven't gotten a five star yet this year either and I even started reading one that I've previously given the author 5* . I've been meaning to add graphic novels and Manga between novels cause I have so many but it never happens. Can we get a recommendations video for short books when you get through a lot of them?? (If that wasn't already in the list)
I want to participate in "March of the Mammoths" next month (800+ pages). I have Day of Fallen Night pre-ordered, and I'm already cheating by including Jane Eyre even though that's only 600 something pages
As for Mansfield Park... Fanny is a morally strong character, but even though I knew what I was getting into I was still overall underwhelmed by the book - it did not hit the Jane Austen spot for me. That being said, Mansfield Park improves a lot by analysing Fanny and her circumstances. It's certainly a unique Austen book and still has its strengths, but these strengths are totally different from what you would expect from Austen (one more reason why she isn't just a one-trick-pony author like people [men] want you to believe)
so totally random, but I just started THE ANOMALY, which is a French translated work from last year that won like booktube award or something for translated fiction. I THINK I mentioned it to you before... so just in case you made a note of it... cancel that note. page 2 has animal harm from a legit psycho/sociopath character during their introduction. just a heads up!
Forgive me for leaving two comments but I'm tipsy... Am I the only one who couldn't get through Vita Nostra because the girl kept vomiting?? I just didn't have it in me to keep going (is this a spoiler? I hope not!)
I've read both the Wall and Remnant Population because of you and I really like both of them! I feel like Remnant Population has a wider appeal but the Wall absolutely destroyed me.
me: listening while playing my 3ds and drinking coffee. Emily: "sex scene with a dolphin." Me: 👀😵💫🥲 Edit: also 10000% down for the remnant. I must know what happens Going to get it on my kindle asap.

Audre Lorde's work is timeless! A lot of feminist activism/scholarship (i hate the binary division of community v academia but its an unfortunate reality most of the time) continues to ask the same questions she poses in the 80s/90s 😮 Speaking of unfortunate, apparement que la ministre de la Condition feminine a rejeté la motion pour promouvoir le femininsme intersectionnel aujourdhui? Giant oof and eye roll here :(

Galatea is amazing. Not sure how Madeline Miller works her magic in such a short amount of pages, but she does. 🙌🏼
Since you liked Jacqueline Harpman The Wall is a must read!
I would like to read also the new Peter Swanson
Good luck with the TBR!

I adored the wall! I was not expecting it but it’s amazing!
I am so excited that you are going to read the wall! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The wall is on my physical tbr too.
I think Jane Austen is hard even if English is your first language. I just read Pride and Prejudice a week or so ago, which was my first by her and struggled. I was very familiar with the story through one of the movie adaptations, thankfully, as it helped me follow along. I was still lost half the time, though I did enjoy it. I hope you enjoy your reads and have a great month.
It was Emma that got me in terms of language. The audiobook helped immensely!
Remnant Population 🥰. The Wall is also very good. Yes, both older women all on their own!
I'm excited about my March TBR! I want to for sure read Tress of the Emerald Sea, Daughter of the Moon Goddess. Bear Town and Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow. That's what I want to read today. But I'm a mood reader. There is no telling what may distract me or strike my fancy.
Galatea was amazing! Highly recommend reading the authors note at the end :)
The Change is on my current TBR pile. I loved her YA books and I'm looking forward to this book! Mansfield Park is my favorite Jane Austen. I hope you love it.
A YA fantasy I read and really enjoy this month was "A Thousand Steps into Night" and a good middle grades I read was called "Snow-Eyes".
My first 5 star this year was read this month (March) and it was Project Hail Mary
I recently read Mansfield Park and it took me a bit to enjoy Fanny as a POV character. She's not really weak, she's just very shy and afraid to speak up. And she's got some reason to be afraid to speak up, so it's understandable. In some regards, it's a coming of age story as well. Once you see it as that, it gets much better.
Love it Emily!! I can’t believe it’s almost March!?!
The lost metal was SO good. I just finished Oathbringer, I flew through the audiobook. I’ll say, TLM is spoilery for Stormlight.
I’m so excited you’re reading Elizabeth Moon! Her Vatta’s War series is one of my all time favourites and it made me fall in love with sprawling space operas as a teenager. Seriously, she made me care about interplanetary trade of farming equipment.
I hope you enjoy Remnant Population--I love that book! I need to re-read it this year.
Galatea is also on my tbr this month! I’m in a reading slump so I’m hoping a short book will help pull me out
So excited for A Day of Fallen Night!!!
Remnant and The Wall sound so interesting!
you're going to love Know my Name ! It was beautiful and made me cry
Actually the poll has Remnant Population at the top now! I'd never heard of this before, so I just got the audiobook from my library. Very excited!
I’ve been holding off on reading Remnant Population until you do so yes I’ll be reading it with you! I’m hopeful I’ll finally be out of my slump some time next month.
Imagine how exciting it will be the first time you pick a book from the "Read It or Unhaul It" bag that you happened to get to already!
My hold for The Lost Metal just came in so I will also be reading it in March. I also finally got a copy of A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, so I'm excited to also finally read that.
It should start happening soon fo sure!
"A Long Way..." is such a feel good book!
holy shit MARCH IS OUR MONTH. I want to start reading octavia butler because bloodchild was just so simple yet so profound and thought provoking!
We can do this! I recommend Kindred next! (or Dawn)
@@BookswithEmilyFox yes! Kindred is on my tbr for march. Adding dawn too!
I loved Galatea. I could read a whole full sized novel about her 🖤
I read Mansfield Park last year (after multiple attempts) and surprisingly really enjoyed it!

I'm almost done with "Women, Race & Class" by her and it's been so good!
That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for 🙏
I am planning to read the first book of a French author Absolu les mobilisés by Margot Dessene. A young adult dystopia in the same vibe as attack of the titans, hunger games, Dgray man and full metal alchemist .
Can't wait to see what you are gonna to think of Mansfield Park
Thanks for this video !
I’m reading Mansfield Park with you.
Wild Seed was my first Octavia E. Butler novel, I liked it! I immediately read Kindred and Parable of the Sower and I think Kindred was the best, but Wild Seed was actually really interesting to me!
I REALLY liked Remnant Population. I hope you do too.
i just asked for Moi qui n'ai pas connu les hommes from my library !! so excited
and i just finished the untouched key by Alice miller and it's a 5 ⭐️
The Lost metal is so good - I read it this month and really enjoyed it! And he gives the female characters big roles in this one :) I also want to read know my name this year and Galatea but my library doesn't have it yet!
I'm getting slumpy now, but I've had a great year so far. I finished 31, only one tnf and only 1 on my pile of shame. My five stars are Kindred, Tender Morsels, Pandora's Jar, Gwendy's Final Task, and All Quiet on the Western Front. (Technically The Diary of Anne Frank belongs too but that feels weird)
Very excited 🤩
Hope you find some new favourites 😁🤞
I am currently reading The Change by Kirsten Miller, and I think that it could be right up your alley! listen, it is marked as magical realism but also as mystery thriller and paranormal!

What a coincidence, I just read The Wall this month. Finally, after a friend lent it to me 2 years ago. I'm so curious what you will think. Because it's by an Austrian author, and the setting and writing is ... very Austria in the 1960s. XD
I love hate Virginia Woolfe and since my tbr only has like 5 books, maybe ill read Orlando in March 🤣
Also Mansfield Park is great
Fanny is on the sideline of the plot, so its kind of a concept novel, what if the plot happens around the main character. But unlike other Authors( Woolf, looking at you) Jane Austen can pull concepts like this of

Ps. That colour is so nice on you! Where did you get that top?

Can you share how you’re able to get advance reader copies ?
There are website like netgalley!

Fledgling by Octavia Butler was to weird ( in Stephen king way) I put it down.
1996 was almost 30 years ago... So it *technically* is an older book.

Audre Lorde's work is timeless! A lot of feminist activism/scholarship (i hate the binary division of community v academia but its an unfortunate reality most of the time) continues to ask the same questions she poses in the 80s/90s 😮 Speaking of unfortunate, apparement que la ministre de la Condition feminine a rejeté la motion pour promouvoir le femininsme intersectionnel aujourdhui? Giant oof and eye roll here :(
I had to DNF north and South. Gaskell just isn’t for me
How far did you get? I really struggled in the beginning, but really enjoyed it later
Jane Austen is hard if English is your first language…at least for me. I do not enjoy reading her books.
Co-signed. I’m a native speaker. There are classics that I don’t have to do a mental decathlon in order to comprehend and I enjoy those more.
Her writing is beautiful though... I wish I could speak like that XD
