Welcome back friends! I've missed you - a longer vlog is coming this week for a bit of a catch up, but in the meantime here is everything I read last month. How have you been?

My favorite passage from H is for Hawk:
"In two months, I think, my college job will end. In two months I will have no office, no college, no salary, no home. Everything will be different. But, I think, everything already is. When Alice dropped down the rabbit-hole into Wonderland she fell so slowly she could take things from the cupboards, and bookshelves on the walls, look curiously at the maps and pictures that passed her by. In my three years as a Cambridge Fellow there'd been lectures and libraries and college meetings, supervisions, admissions interviews, late nights of paper-writing, essay-marking, and other things soaked in Cantabrigian glamour; eating pheasant by candlelight at High Table while snow dashed itself in flurries against the leaded glass and carols were sung and the port was passed and the silver glittered upon the dark-polished refectory tables. Now, standing on a cricket pitch with a hawk on my hand, I knew I had always been falling as I moved past these things. I could reach out and touch them, pick them off their shelves and replace them, but they were not mine. Not really ever mine. Alice, falling, looked down to see where she was headed, but everything below her was darkness" (124).

Thank goodness there’s a new Emma video! I’ve had horrible anxiety the last 24 hours and nothing feels the same as watching Emma and regaining some calm. 🍵

I let out an audible sigh when I saw that you posted!! It's like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders lol. We missed you! 🥰
I LOVE THOSE EARRINGS!

[Cooooookiiiieeee]

Hello emma. Your passion for literature is so contagious! I was burned out and started hated reading sometime in 2019 because of some personal issues. Now I am getting back into reading after discovering this channel. Thank you.

Those earrings are so pretty. You look adorable. Happy to hear about your May books. I’m immersed in Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. It’s very good.

Hi Emma. I just wanted to share that I lost my 11m old kitty suddenly and unexpectedly last week and I am devastated but the first thing I did was go out and buy The Dark Interval. Thank you so much for recommending such a beautiful book. You touch so many lives with your passion for reading and excellent taste.

Emma you officially have enough videos to watch one a day for a whole year🎉

[subtlefire]

I hope you'll enjoy Richard II! I'm somewhat obsessed with that play haha. The RSC version with David Tennant is also worth checking out, some scenes are available here on youtube.

[georgeparasol]

i’m so happy you’re back emma!! i hope you’ve been doing ok with the wildfires, we can smell/see smoke all the way in new york :/

[farandaway]

Literally just found you yesterday and I've already watched dozens of your videos. I've been having a reading renaissance in my life and your videos have been inspiring me

[CarrieBarrieintheDesert]

Yay! Emma video!! You are the essence of calm and serotonin. You were missed, but I'm so happy you took some time for you and yours. Even work you love needs a break sometimes. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, welcome back.
Ps: those earrings are everything.

[Mkayreadsandvlogs]

I’m reading all the books I read in high school. I think now you understand and appreciate more .

[aneeshajha]

Heyyy emma i suffer from lots of anxiety and watching your videos gives such comfort and peace❤ love from India💕

[Cubehead]

Hope you had a really great break and that you're doing well, glad you're back 🥰
Speaking of Shakespeare I just did a re-"read" of Macbeth the other day by following along to the Joel Coen A24 film of it, which I would definitely highly recommend to those that haven't seen it (I want more people to approach filmmaking like that it's really cool)

[pendragon]

Hey Emma! Glad to see you--been thinking of you. Across the lake here we're getting the smoke. Hope and your loved ones are far away from the fires. Be well!

[teresaferrer]

Omg I ADORE your earrings! I wish I managed to read as much as you do hahahah, I only managed to read one and a half books (Absolutely on music by Murakami and Ozawa, and half of the 2nd Game of Thrones book, both brilliant!), uni is sooo time consuming...
Anyways, love your videos, so glad that you're back! 🥰✨
