Emmie I am amazed at the amount of books you read and how you describe them afterwards. You would be a great Professor.

I read two books in june: the secrets history by Donna Tartt which left my soul shattered (but I somehow fell in love with it) and Susanna Clarke's Piranesi (adored it even though it was bizarre and confusing at the beginning).

I think that july will be my Agatha Christie month (I'm a big Poirot fan) and of course finishing Yellowface

I love the diversity of books you read each month - always keeps me glued to your videos!

[DustfeatherOfFire]

I've only recently discovered your channel, but just wanted to say that your videos are really relaxing, and I love your eloquence and quiet passion for the books you read :)

I’ve read about 55 books this year and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches is my very favorite of the year so far! ❤

wow june has been such a weird reading month for me (three weeks of procrastinating and a week of reading non stop) I love watching your videos, it feels like reading through you, and I love your commentary on each book. Also your voice brings me peace. July is break up month so I 'm trying my best but not feeling like reading.. your videos are really helping me through this reading slump

The Motorcycle Diaries is on of my favourite books! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Che's writing is beautiful and being able to witness how and why his convictions developed in a coming of age story of a revolutionary, perhaps THE revolutionary, one who truly lived the revolution to his last breath, was a deeply profound experience for me.
The movie adaptation is also really good! Would recommend!

I read 15 books this month (mostly mangas😅) my favorite book was Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi and I discovered a really fun manga series, Bride Stories, that takes place in Central Asia 😊

I thought I'd see either The Stranger or The Brothers Karamazov in this wrap-up. I'm glad you got to have some chill holiday reads.

I just love the way you describe books 🩷

[CarrieBarrieintheDesert]

Wow you had quite the reading month! Thank you as always for sharing, listening to you describe books is inspiring. Happy Sunday to you. ❤

[CarrieBarrieintheDesert]

Oh how i remember friendship bracelets, the safety pin on your jeans. The nostalgia is real.
Also, imagining little emma hustling braclets on the playground and getting "busted" is heart warming 😂

the ambience and aesthetic of the surrounding looks so cool

Love to hear you discussing Jean Rhys! She's one of my favourite authors - such an interesting/subversive writer. I'd really recommend reading the others in her quartet (After Leaving Mr Mackenzie in particular). I focused my Master's thesis on her works (alongside Clarice Lispector's)✨🥀

So happy whenever you uploaded, emma 💓

One of my best read in June was Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamed. It's a graphic novel based on alternate world Egypt where wishes are commercialized. The art is so stunning and expressive, the plot and worldbuilding is well written too.
