Emma: I don’t want to read about existential crises before bed
Also Emma: Let me read this incredibly sad and depressing love story before bed

I took a Shakespeare class during my undergrad, and even though he's still not my favorite, that class helped me appreciate his work more and I got to read more of his non-mainstream plays, which was exciting. Would love a week by week update l, might even read along!

My anxiety has been off the roof lately and your videos are seriously what’s keeping me sane, not to forget also reading Brothers Karamazov. Thank you Emmie.

I’ve read more these past 6 months than I’ve read in many years thanks to you and Carolyn.

I just started 100 Years of Solitude thanks to your recommendations. I tried it many years ago but probably only got a few pages in before giving up. This time I committed to focus and get a solid chunk in and give it a chance. I’m only 3 chapters in but by the end of the first chapter, I was hooked.

I finished Brothers Karamazov (I started it a while ago) and now I'm reading the Stranger. (Low-key coincidentally, they were both on my TBR and just fit with GOT book club). I'm half way through Frankenstein as a part of my uni course! And I'm listening to the audiobook for Neon Gods.
Also it's worth noting that the Stranger is also called The Outsider as well in certain translations.
I also plan on reading Franny and Zooey and Master and Margarita next.

I've been averaging 2-3 books a month but hopefully this video is going to be the thing that gives me the motivation to tackle my 8 book may tbr! :, )
Also Richard the 3rd was my favourite Shakespeare play I read in school really excited to see if you will like it!

[Reveriecrux]

Finally reading LotR and I've just started Return of the King. This series is like 70% nature poetry 🌳
Might join your book club after!

I really struggled with H is for Hawk, being a vegan who loves rodents and birds. 😳 Got a good paper out of it, though!

The child in How I Became a Nun is biologically a boy but always refers to him/her/themself as a girl. A lot of people don't seem to think it's consistent, but it is. Any boy references come from other characters. I got a great paper out of that book on the symbolism of the colour pink in a story of a secretly transgender child.

Shakespeare is soooo fun when you dig in. I hope you love it💜

[kutaymuratkasman]

I am reading Two Towers from Lord of the Rings and it is amazing. All place description, development of characters and of course wars and events are amazing. Such a complete universe. I would like to one of the lotr character

[kels..]

The Brothers Karamazov is one of my all time fav classics! Enjoy!
