This makes me so emotional, last year I was watching the announcement of Game of Tomes 2023 while I hospitalized for pneumonia (post covid), I was so sad and felt so bad and sick, but I saw your video and I wrote down all the books thinking that when I came back home I was going to start reading with you and this community. And now I see this video announcing the books for 2024, after a difficult year, and I'm soooo excited for what's coming! Thank you Emmie for your company and dedication to this channel, it is very important to me. Happy Holidays to you all!

i read all of lotr for the first time this year and was truly weeping for the last hundred or so pages. samwise gamgee is one of the sweetest and most kind-hearted characters i've ever read, we're in for a great year of reading!

The Count of MC was the first classic I ever read, I think I was about 12 years old, it is so, so special to me 🥰 Can’t wait to read it again with all of you!! 🤩

Hi emma, never commented on any of your videos before but i have been avidly watching your videos for about a month now, not a day has passed that i recall that i havn't watched at least a snipet of your videos. While i was in china for a 10 day holiday, i had downloaded some videos and all of them were for you, so perpetually for 10 days the only media i was consuming was from you, and i must say iv'e fallen head over heels for your content and i have been on a rampage ever since, your videos are so comforting and the way you speak is genuinely so eloquent t and radiates intelligence and wisdom, i've never really actually been a true fan of a youtuber before but i genuinely admire you and your content and get happy when you post, thanks for all your doing emma :)

omg I have almost all these books and I've been meaning to read them 😭 this is perfect

[anitas]

Only 4 minutes in - so excited! The Count of Montecristo and Middlemarch are my husband’s two favorite books and I’m excited to be able to discuss them with him. And all of you. I love Game of Tomes so much.
Edit - Fellowship of the Ring!! So excited!!

[GoedeSoep]

I’ll be joining you this year, thank you for this challenge!

I read the Count of Monte Cristo last year after putting it off for YEARS (it being a mammoth book I was scared of): it’s so good. Instantly became one of my all time favorites. You’ll love it.

[desmondhume]

so excited to join this time around !!

[sktsus]

I'm so excited! Ngl I've been searching for the right time to read LOTR and this is perfect! I'll definitely join this year's Game of Tomes, it sounds amazing!

[jacquib]

I started Monte Cristo in 2020 and when the pandemic hit, my brain just couldn’t handle it. I’m definitely down to start it again! Also, I read Middlemarch this year and it was one of my top ten books of the year. I hope you end up loving it!

[aliana]

I am so freaking excited you and Carolyn are gonna read The Count of Monte Cristo! We promise that it's not a boring book. There are so many beautiful quotes and the story is so beautiful. Enjoy your adventure!❤

[oumaimasbooks]

I've been wanting to read The Count of Monte Cristo for a loooong time! I'm glad it's January's pick so that I can finally read it with you

[minaaminax]

So excited to join this year!! I'm halfway through Middlemarch and have been putting it on hold for a while but this will surely push me to finish it. Hopefully I can keep up with the rest because those are some really big books. Also I hope you're feeling better now that you're home Emma. Happy Holidays!!

[knitty]

What an exciting group of books. I bought a copy of Little Women in 2023. There are so many beautiful copies out there now. I have a copy from when I was young, but it definitely isn't 600 pages. Then I heard Carolyn mention that there are two 'books' in the story and that would explain it. (It was many decades ago when I read it.) And I have Middlemarch on my bookshelves, as well, as LOTR in a bind up. I guess I need to go to B&N to get Count of Monte Cristo and get started.

[eleanorball]

Such a great list of picks!! Especially excited to see what you think of Monte Cristo, LOTR, and Strange & Norrell. I think you’ll love them. Just finished Monte Cristo this week (took me four months) and it was SO INCREDIBLE and I’m in such a book hangover now 😅

[newbooksmell]

this list is just *chef's kiss*. i am so excited to see you and Carolyn talking about these books. i'm rooting for Middlemarch and Little Women, two of my all time favorites :}

[iaani_]

I've had most of these books lying around for a while, no more excuses.

thank you for giving me a new years resolution :)
