Hope you feel better soon Emma! just letting everyone know if they're sneaky like me that there are many libraries that only require you to sign up online which lets you have multiple libraries added on Libby... which means more books for you and more support for libraries across the country! :)

Never knew a single notification could bring this much excitement

Even if you are sick you still made a video, thanks for your passion for this channel and i hope you will get better soon 🥺💓

[little_book_racoon]

Just wanted to say that he footage from botanical garden was absolutely stunning 💚
So sorry to hear you got sick, all the best for you and your partner, hope everything will get better soon❤
Also, congratulation on you degree!! I loved following your academic journey here it's so motivating seeing how hardworking you always are. Take all the time you need to rest, we'll always wait for you.
I hope you'll be able to see The Nutcracker in the near future, I can't imagine how dissapointing this must have been.
Sending you much love 💞

YOUR VOICE IS SO COMFORTING the entire atmosphere and vibe of you and your content in general. i’m not joking when i say you are my favourite; my comfort creator. CONGRATS ON FINISHING YOUR DEGREE i cannot wait to see what you do next i adore you oh my god

Loved Artemis in so many ways and for so many reasons, so this'll be interesting.
edit: fokk, wait, no, I was thinking of Project Hail Mary. I too was incredibly frustrated and confused by Artemis. Carry on 😅

[Cubehead]

Great to see you back 😊 hope you're feeling much better and recover quickly if you aren't. Sorry you had to get hit by COVID, essay season, and Andy Weir at almost the same time 😔 that certainly doesn't sound like much fun. Also congrats on finishing your degree!! 🎉 I've just got one more semester left myself so we'll see how that goes. Hope you have a fantastic holiday season 🥰🎄☃️🎁☕

I have only read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir with one of my students which was amazing, so I was shocked to hear these quotes from Artemis...wow. It's so strange, if you read PHM it's as if it was someone else writing it. Now that I know this I wonder if he had ever made an apology or if he took that into consideration when writing his newer books.

Hope you feel better btw <3

Big hugs to you, (germ free internet ones), I hope you and your partner continue to get better quickly. Remember even after you feel better, there is often residual lingering issues - cough, brain fog, tiredness.... rest and heal all you can for as long as you need. I wanted to go see The Nutcracker too, but couldn't get tickets on a day that would work. Watching you finish up your degree felt a bit emotional for me, I've been watching you grow and expand so much through the last few years. I loved hearing about all your school reading. I look forward to seeing what new horizons you journey towards now.

oh Emma, hope you can rest up and feel better soon! Congratulations on finishing your degree! Take the time you need to feel better, we will be here for your next video when you are ready!

[davidag]

I hope that you feel so much better soon! You have a lovely ginger cat! 😺 I'm currently reading a nice old, well lived in copy of "The Portable Chekhov" from Penguin Books. The Chameleon! The Culprit! Heartache! The Cherry Orchard! All included. 😊

I didn't like Artemis back when I read it, but it was one of my first adult sci-fi/fantasy books, so I think a lot of the cringey parts went over my head - I honestly don't remember anything about the book. Too bad you didn't just read Project Hail Mary instead. I liked most of it, and it was so cute 🥰

[Nana_Waffles]

My grandmother has being enjoying her coffee from that cup since I was a little girl. Being 2, 323 miles from her is hard but seeing the little things around that remind me of her put a smile on my face. Thank you for that.

[jolinelam]

you're back!! i hope you feel better soon, sending love ❤❤

[infinite-el]

I’m really sorry to hear you’re struggling so hard with covid ❤. Somehow I’ve managed to make it this far without it, but I’ve had a very symptomatically similar chronic illness for about 10 years and I hope it starts to improve for you too. It’s so tough when you have things you want to do but your body just refuses. I actually started watching you when you were struggling a lot with the concussion, and found I related to a lot of the things you said then, so I really hope it’s not bringing back bad memories for you. Rest as much as you possibly can and feel better soon ❤

[lunariummm]

Artemis was one of the more egregious cases of men writing women I think I've ever seen, if not THE most. It makes me think that Andy Weir is terminally online, like I cannot... It's baffling how bad it is and how little I've seen it talked about.

[karenyates]

Covid has kicked alot of us down the street! Sorry to hear that you've been "down for the count" but my prayers are for your complete wellness, Dear Emma. Hope you can enjoy the upcoming holidays!

[c_r_i_ss_y]

COVID got me this past february in my first teaching job… it made me feel terrible and since then I’ve been grateful for every day I feel healthy and full of energy😂

[pendragon]

I'm so sorry you were sick and hope you're better now and can enjoy your Christmas. I am reading "Echo North" now on your recommendation. For another winter themed book, maybe check out J.R.R. Tolkien's retelling of the Kalevala (Finnish myth) called "The Tale of Kullervo." Take care, Emma, and have a good week! P.S. Finished my yearly goal early so gotta up the number of books for next year!
