I like that you mention the text of the books! Text font or size, or spacing of the lines and margins can really impact the reading experience.

[tommasozerbo]

me: getting ready to study for school
emmie: posts a video about classics


me: studying can wait i guess

[nikwolf]

At 27:59 it's so adorable how you say "because" in a French accent after reading Saint-Exupéry's name

[heberribeiro]

"If I don't like a font that a book is written with ..." Same here. Absolutely. Will I read it nonetheless? Sure. Grudgingly? To be sure.

emma: *talking about her classics*
me: *staring at her copy of A Court of Mist and Fury*

[chelseyummali]

Its so nice to see a YouTuber that thrifts books. I love the used book store and honestly I cant afford to always buy new although who doesnt love a new book!? I love and hate that my books are all a mishmash of new, used, different editions etc. I always love when I find old penguins, those are just as treasured to me. I will say I do hate the tiny writing though.

[AFrolicThroughFiction]

“What part of the cover do you want to be green?” “Yes” 😂😂 honestly me though

[marthabookdragon]

This was such a fully sensory, soothing experience. I've never seen anyone give such excellent reviews for us book sniffers out there. You are wonderful.

Your sense of smell goes hand in hand with Patrick Süskind's The Perfume 😄

[beetroot]

I love watching people's classics

[kimvG]

I love the explanations of the smell hahah
The old grandma smell of books is the best thing in the world ❤ it's like freshly mowed grass. It's a smell you always recognize and love

[audiofandoms]

5:08 lol your disapproval of monica stings because that’s how i’ve asked out three different people. normally i put my number in the middle of the book because if they’re going to commit to me, they’re going to have to commit to reading the books i recommend them

[PumpkinMozie]

"Monica, if you're out there..." hahaha I loled

[mariebasa]

I get so excited whenever I see that you've uploaded. School has really been kicking me in the butt and your videos are like a breath of fresh air. I truly cherish every single second of your videos, I literally never want them to end. Thank you for this!!!

[totshie]

When I read Emma by Jane Austen, this is how I imagined her to look like <3

[Lionheart]

Snap - we have the same edition of Emma! I love getting second hand books, to me, there just feels something so special about them! I have a couple of very old editions of books from the 1910's and I wonder how many book shelves they've been on before they got to me! Also... Book smell - there is something so unique about it and the way you described it - man! Perfect! Put it into a candle please! 👌😂

[salmagh]

of topic, but i can't seem to take my eyes out of your hair it's literally perfect!

[danielsweeney]

That The Master and Margarita edition behind you has my favourite cover of all time!
