Years ago my sister gave me a giant box of used books she chose for me. it was the best present ever.

[michaelchen]

:’) Aw! Thank you for the thank yous—altho I’m not sure I’ve done as much as to deserve such a lovely shoutout! Sorry I always go a little overboard…finding books which I know other people will love is just such a joy :) it is very much a literary treasure hunt, with the real treasure being all of these feelings and connections just like a shared love of words brings (idk cheesy but true)?

Definitely down to chat in the comment section about books with anyone!


PS: The Rilke Portal ([magical] trademark pending) is still most definitely openable, particularly on the letters in German front…

I am OVER THE MOON! 🥰🍁So happy you got the package!! Literally I have goosebumps!! Yay the box smells like chocolate!! Just plotzing over here, besides myself. I am that character in ATLA on Kyoshi island foaming at the mouth from excitement! 😆 I am going to go die now in a corner! Also, hope you are having the time of your life in Iceland! 🍄

Emma, your joy radiates to us all and elevates the world. Thank you for so generous a sharing of yourself with those of us lucky enough to have happened on your channel. Brava.

Amazing packages from Michael and Tania, amazing books and the candles, wow, lovely! Always excited to watch your videos and love when you receive amazing packages. Can't wait to see some of your trip to Iceland, I think it's one of the coolest places in the world_literally and figuratively! Have a great time and enjoy. Loving Calcifer!

Thank you Michael! Thank you Emmie! I'm learning Japanese at the moment and having Japanese book recommendations (and all the other books too) is just the perfect Sunday relaxation. 🥰

I love watching your videos. They’re like a breath of fresh air. Your appreciation for literature, the history surrounding the stories, the authors, and the writing is just so calming and inspiring. Your gratitude for everything around you and the people you interact with is just so incredibly refreshing. Thank you for sharing your joy with us!

Watching you unpack all of the Rilke volumes got ME emotional too!! I love seeing such open passion and appreciation for writing and authors and poetry :, )


Also I’m jealous wth, I want someone to send me gorgeous early editions of my favorite works

[breezy]

THANK YOU Hope I have a fairy-godmother of books like you someday, you have impeccable taste :)))

[aiela]

Knowing your taste, I promise interview with the vampire is going to become a new all time favourite for you if you give it a go this October. The writing is so decadent, even more beautiful than dowry of blood but in that same vein (no pun intended). The audiobook is also excellent and it’s here on YouTube for free ;)

[svs]

This was a wonderful video, Emma. Your joy as you unboxed everything was contagious. I felt a little emotional as I saw you get emotional. You have built a great community here. I have been having a really tough month and this video was like a safe place I could retreat to!

[sophiaisabelle]

It’s great to see you back, Emmie. I hope you continue to enjoy reading as most of us do here. It’s satisfying to unbox packages. It’s like you’re opening up Christmas presents in advance.

[evelynnygren]

Ahh I'm so glad you got my books Emma! This is the first time I've ever sent books to a youtuber so I was a little nervous that they would get lost or something, but they didn't and I'm so excited for you to read them! I hope you like them a lot :) Also, I believe Alexandra Bracken also wrote The Darkest Minds series, which I actually haven't read yet, funnily enough. (Evelyn)

This week I've just received a little kitten too and i have a dog also which i was so afraid that he will hurts her because he's one year old and she is one month only but it appears that they are good together, they play all the time and make me with my daughter have so much fun watching them playing. At least they put a smile on our faces during this hard times that we are facing here in Lebanon. 🐕❤ 🐈

[dohabeshir]

Your videos have the ability to bring me so much joy every time. I love listening to you for hours, i love your book recommendations, your little updates, everything ❤️

[ndimonaco]

this video made me so happy!!! you deserve it all, Emma. thank you for being so nice and bringing so much joy to us all ❤️ hope you are feeling well, sending u lots of love

[leahc]

hey emma don't forget the sun damage if you put all of your books on the window sill !!

So so so happy to hear the meeting with evie went well 😊 we have two crazy dogs and were nervous bringing home a kitten but had the same experience! She was fearless and the boys were more timid but they love each other now. She thinks she’s a dog and chases and plays with them. It’s wild but the dogs somehow know to be gentle with her? ❤ just a big spot of joy.
Our kitty also loves outside time. She doesn’t go out at night but has free roam during the day. I know letting cats outside is controversial but she just loves it so much. Also I don’t know how we managed this but she doesn’t ever leave our yard so that has been a huge blessing. 🙌🏼 I bet calcifer+evie will be best friends by the time you get back.

Life has been hard lately but I can’t tell you how much joy and comfort your videos bring me - thank you 💕 Can’t wait to see your Iceland vlog!
