For the person who wanted deaf community romance focused book, a silent voice is a great manga/movie with a deaf main character, which deals with bullying too, because it starts when the characters are kids. Its also a romance and its really great, so yeah check it out

[@kiateo6904]

a sign of affection by suu morishita is another manga with a deaf mc

[@vulcan65]

im sorry but i feel like calling a silent voice a romance is wrong? 😭 thats not really the theme

[@VyNyLoKo6]

@@vulcan65 Yeah... it really isn't that romance heavy thinking about it, but its still a big part of the drama

[@ferventfei]

there's also another manga called "i hear the sunspots" and it features a hard of hearing love interest too. ive heard that it tackles the subject well and the romance is cute.

On the topic of food, or books including recipes, I have to recommend Laura Esquivel's 'Like water for chocolate', cause I know you're a big fan of magical realism! This book is a gem, a perfect mix of heartache and comfort 💜 lovely as always to watch you Emma!

C.S. Lewis was my literary hero through most of my teens and he's still a favourite. The Narnia books were my childhood, and the Space Trilogy made me think more than almost any other book I've read. Everyone should read them. Edit: Also holy shit I'm just finishing the video now but the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel is such a good series!

[@darealslimshady702]

i’m glad to see people that love the space trilogy :D

[@brandonatchison4769]

Yes! C.S. Lewis is an amazing author. I've enjoyed both his fiction and non-fiction. This might be an unpopular opinion but I actually prefer his Space Trilogy over Narnia.

[@Cubehead27]

@@brandonatchison4769 They're good for different reasons I think-I much prefer the Space Trilogy now as an adult, but I certainly wouldn't have appreciated it as a kid. They appeal to different appetites I suppose.

[@brandonatchison4769]

@@Cubehead27 I agree. I think I first read Narnia when I was around 11 years old and the Space Trilogy not long after that. Both are probably equally complex and deep but I find myself going back to his Space Trilogy more often.

[@joychalaby]

I absolutely love C. S. Lewis! I just wrote my honours dissertation on Lewis's Space Trilogy!

[@PlopThePlopper]

For anyone into fantasy, definitely check out anything by Brandon Sanderson, mainly Mistborn and The Stormlight Archieve

[@michellebarnett2046]

One of the best ever!!!

[@smoog1082]

for Japanese Lit, the Sea of Fertility series by Yukio Mushima, its incredible! a weird deep dive into a westernised japan, radicalism, sexuality, death and rebirth. Whole heartily recommend

[@roosschepers]

For the food category try out Crying In H Mart; it is a memoir focusing mostly on the author's relationship with her mother, and much of that is translated through their love for Korean food and cuisine

[@ineedtoreadmorebooks6432]

Oh my goodness!! I've been wanting another one of these videos since the other one you did. I'm shaking I'm so happy!!!!

[@elizaanderson8909]

Emmie, I want you to know that we all absolutely adore you and appreciate all of the effort you put into making these videos for us! You always have such optimism and you never fail to inspire others! Thank you for the amazing content girl!

[@sinahase4235]

For a Book for people who like Twilight I would definitely recommend Interview with the Vampire. It’s not a romance but It focuses a lot more on what it means to be a vampire. I’m reading it right now and it makes me feel just as excited about the whole vampire thing as Twilight did when I was younger. The movie is also great.

[@scofah]

I just finished Emmie's recommended Twilight alternative called Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I didn't care for it at all (Just sharing my opinion here in case anyone else has the same experience). Thanks for your recommendation about Interview with a Vampire. I'll let you know if that hits the spot.

[@ishanighoshal2653]

Love how you post so much content throughout the week even though you probably have a lot of studies to do

[@am13007]

Everyday I come home after nine hours of school, I get fresh, grab a cup of tea, a blanket and pillows, and spend about an hour with Emma. This is "me time" 😂 and I absolutely love it. And when this video started, I was literally thinking that if I get to participate in Emma's next video of recommendations, I'll definitely ask for books for those who read Harry Potter every year 😂 14:02 and will ya look at that 😂😂😂 Emma, if you're seeing this, I know this wasn't a part of the video, but do you have any recommendations of books that reminded you of Taylor Swift's album Folklore? Or similar vibes to it? It's one of my favorite albums of all time, and it's really hard to find books or stuff that give off similar vibes. Love you 💕

[@lisaplummer8144]

For the person who wanted a story revolving around food, try out Ruth Reichl! She was editor of Gourmet magazine and now writes novels. She includes recipes and makes me want to cook.

[@jessandhershelf]

For this person I'd also recommend XOXO by Axie Oh or for nonfiction Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

[@megan-te2bu]

@@megan-te2bu this is very late lmao but I would highly recommend With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo, it revolves around a teen mother who takes a cooking class at her high school, it includes recipes and it is a very underrated read. if you read webtoons, I recommend Gourmet Hound

[@hannahb7711]

This is me trying to convince you to give us more Taylor Swift based recommendations, it'd be my wildest book dreams come true. I can't wait for enchanted books that will make me feel, happy, free, confused, and maybe even lonely, in the best way. I know all too well that a few sad prose will probably make my tears ricochet, and reading a book that's extremely sad beautiful and tragic is a very treacherous slope, but it probably won't be the last time I begin again the cycle of heartbreak. To make a long story short, it's nothing new. I'm so looking forward to books that make me feel like I'm reading in a cabin by the lakes, wrapped in my cardigan, the floors of a cabin creaking under my step as I watch the wisteria and ivy glisten outside. I will only have closure when this video is released. I'm sure all the recommendations will fill a blank space in my bookworm heart, and stick with me forever and always. HAPPY RED SEASON!! 🧣I'm not willing to admit how much time I spent on that cheesy mess. Dedication. Please pin this 😩

[@safe-keeper1042]

My take: 1:10 a book that feels like warm covers when it is cold outside: House in the Cerulean Sea 1:32 found family comfort: still House in the Cerulean Sea, otherwise the Harry Potter series if you haven't read them 7:06 lesbian romance that awakens butterflies in your stomach: best I can do is the Life is Strange Before the Storm, that's a video game, tho 16:03 a book for your very last day on earth: oh dear. Are you okay? 19:41 a book that reminds me that we aren't bound to a physical and earthly existence: Under the Whispering Door 24:53 a book with characters who become your best friends: Idas Dans (Norwegian-language) 25:43 a mystery where the investigator who is not a detective or a police: the Girl on the Train. Highly recommended. Wonderful flawed protagonist. 32:26 a book where the house is also a character: An English Ghost Story 32:33 a book for when you want to delete all your social media and disconnect forever : The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (yes, I know it's Stephen King, check it out anyway) 33:00 i am moving to Canada / a Canadian book: Alaska, not Canada, but The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah comes to mind. Be warned it's a pretty tough read, though. 34:42 a book with a cat: A Street Cat Named Bob 36:02 something melancholic and character-driven where nothing really happens: This One Summer. Give it a read. It's a comic, though. 40:45 a book about a.i preferably where they don't turn evil: Klara and the Sun 41:05 a book with the eccentricity of the Weasley family's home: closest I can think of is Pippi Longstockings. Maybe Under the Whispering Door works, too.

Hey Emma, it's my first time commenting here but I just wanted to say thank u, you are the reason why I found my way back to reading and also I felt very motivated to complete my studies in English literature after years of losing my passion ❤️ Thank u, I truly appreciate you ❤️

[@eleonorademitri]

i adored this video! such a clever premise and you being so soft and well spoken about all the books was very comforting for some reason :)

[@artistryunicorn928]

I love this two video series. From this video alone I added 21 books to my list of possible reads... even though it must be nearing a hundred by now...

[@AnnieK05]

for gothic and romantic/toxic to read while raining i recommend deathless!! beautiful book

[@dhaneshchainani6794]

Please never stop making this type of videos 😭

[@sarahmiskovich8443]

To the person who wanted Mexican gothic/ Moldy vibes I recommend Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon! It’s kinda like a mystery almost cult classic kinda book

[@victoriacollis1934]

For the next recommendation video- adult Amelia Bedelia vibes and books like a Wes Anderson film pls!!! Ilysm

[@julesl8598]

I lost the video I was watching yesterday, about the review where you mention the 2 separate versions (both novels) of The Phantom of the Operah. I really like you compare and contrast review of those 2! Loved your commentary! Please don't stop. You are so thorough, creative, scholarly, intellectual and above all, kind and noble with your reviews! 🙏🏼💯👏👏👏

[@aishaturco]

I love those videos!!! my goodreads "want to read" gets exponentially larger each time. What I actually need is 8 more pairs of eyes to read faster and maybe several extra bookshelves to avoid my current "3 depths shelves"

[@carther-vh7cd]

You look gorgeous! Love your outfit, not even talking about your immaculate taste in books and beautiful articulate way of talking!

[@comfyreadss]

EMMA SWIFTIE ERA ??!?!?!? if you made a taylor swift x literature video it would be the best gift of all time . literally my two favourite people

[@doityourselfa]

you are the only person i have seen to ever mention Nervemoor, and my respect for you has grown immensely.

[@panikiczcock2891]

38:59 Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquviel and Pomegranate Soup by Marsha Mehran also have recipies

[@dorothy2280]

I'm always ready to add things to cart or my TBR list when I watch your book rec vids!

[@emmamoon7756]

Your last very specific rec video was the very video that got me into your channel

[@laurajohnson3136]

Hi, I'm a big fan and probably the oldest at age 59! For the person interested in a book about trees which I'm in the middle of is The Overstory by Richard Powers. It's very well written.

[@mannabanana1496]

i love listening to you talk about books. don't know how, but you have somehow entered my mental wellness routine. your videos are slowly turning into one of my favorite corners of my "safe place." thanks for sharing your passion.

[@lutherdean6922]

I am so enjoying your channel, it is giving me the reading bug again!

[@alixboyer8202]

I would love an entire video of nutcracker retellings! Or any winter folklore retellings!

[@あいこ-g8k]

love her recs so much !!

[@juanf.gonzalez9986]

Really interesting recommendations of all types, and, as always, in a charming and very entertaining presentation ^ ^

[@rosariohurtado4567]

yayyy i asked you for the burgundy rec and the bossa nova rec

[@BlueNSour]

There's something hilarious about saying Dostoevsky would enjoy a young adult anime/story

[@CatherineLambert-fz7pd]

Well never know 😂❤

[@CatherineLambert-fz7pd]

We'll

[@ShivangiBhasin]

Oooh, I have a few food fictions recs for anyone interested (they’re also in my TBR so if anyone’s read them lemme know how it went!): Cake by Maira Kalman, Midnight Chicken by Ella Risbridger, Recipes for Sad Women by Hector Abad, The Vegetarian by Han Kang, and (if you want to rethink what you put in your mouth) Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. Some non-fic recs: Sous Chef by Michael Gibney, Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci, and Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

[@rebeccacooke2707]

My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki is also brilliant food fic!

[@salmahm4481]

Tender is the flesh is on my tbr but isn't that a book where cannibalism becomes the norm and people are just casually slaughtering humans or something? Lol correct me if I'm wrong but I would not suggest that as food fiction then lol!

[@ShivangiBhasin]

@@salmahm4481 haha yes, that was a cheeky rec😉

[@Pruvireads]

I just stumbled on this channel, and you just give me the vibes of the kind of person who knows a book for whatever u ask them and u just give really good vibes and yeah now I’m gonna spend atleast the next hour obsessing over your channel, thank you ❤

[@rebekahmenn2118]

A book that kind of revolves around "food" is The Monk of Mokha... it revolves around coffee. But the entire story is about coffee - reviving the art of coffee production in Yemen. It's nonfiction yet reads like a fiction story - incredibly gripping! Highly recommend ☕

[@annakovacsvlogs6382]

Your copy of 'Love in the Time of Cholera' is SLAYING GIRL

[@rarafarara]

The fact that you can DO a video like this because you read so many books already is amazing, props to you, I haven’t even seen your channel yet but I feel like I need to subscribe just from you uploading this alone. Thanks

[@d_diya29]

I've been waiting for Taylor Swift content from you ever since I subscribed to your channel because of the perfectly cozy theme it has🥺🥺. Loved your recommendations ❤️❤️

[@amandacosta6759]

Deciding to watch this while trying to narrow down my tbr was a mistake. I love these videos though, your videos never fail to make me smile!

[@claudineitchon4247]

I was one of the people who requested for the All Too Well (10 mins version) 😅 immediately marked your recos on my TBR! 💖

[@angoline]

OMG I LOVE SNOW & ROSE AND KAFKA ON THE SHORE AAA

[@whateverworksmate.721]

Hi Em, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I put them on in the background when I have a lot of work to do for uni (right now, help.) and I feel a little less like dying. Your voice is so soothing, it makes me feel better. I'm glad you're getting more recognition and subs because you hella deserve them. And I'll try to get to some of these recs during Christmas brake!

[@chelleandpoppy6379]

Atonement and Emma are two of my favorite books! I also loved If I Stay and Before I Fall in middle school. That really took me back! For a book that's like Twilight rec you have to read Crave by Tracy Wolf. Audible recommended it to me after I listened to Midnight Sun and I was skeptical, but now I'm almost done with book three and totally hooked! I will say that while the story is great, the love elements are pretty cringe and some of the characters in books two and three have accents that the audiobook narrator tries to mimic that are um interesting. Thanks for another great video!

[@anjapuseljic6754]

Your outfits are getting better and better every time we see you😍

[@cas2116]

I was thinking blue period when you mentioned the art request n then you suggested it omg 🤠 gotta be my fav manga

[@rehabyasser2990]

so nice seeing people care about my country’s history! man Egypt is so good ❤️

[@JessieJoystick]

The last specific book recommendations was the first video I saw of yours and I loved it so much I instantly subscribed, this was a real treat, thank you 👌

[@writingwithdifficulty]

The baby yoda made my whole day 🥺

[@scofah]

And he just pops in there 🥰 @11:39 💚

[@tessaisntreading]

some of my own late recs: 32:26 a book where the house is also a character: The Gray House by Mariam Petrosyan 34:14 a gripping book that revolves around food and cooking: Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto, Vera cooks as a love language and everything seems so delicious

[@selenalee5654]

feels like it was just yesterday when you dropped your 100k book rec video, so happy for you!! 😩💜

[@AleZ1511]

When you make recommendations for Christmas, don't forget that the south is on the middle of summer. I never know what to read on these dates because nothing represents us, and it’s hard to feel “winter’s magic” when the heat doesn't allow to think u.u Sorry for my english. Love your videos!! Saludos desde Chile!!

[@joaomarcelo__]

And this gorgeous shirt of The Big Wave off Kanagawa? Really amazing!! Cheers!!

[@edendamienaugustus7570]

HEY EMMA! your videos are so damn amazing. target: gonna read all of these till 2022 ends. I know it's too slow but I'm not really a focused reader :p and hey I've a question, what university do you gooo tooo? I saw your campus video too and it's gorgeous AND CONGRATS FOR THE 200K!! Proud to be one of them

[@ginganinja2507]

Annihilation is definitely a good one for a moldy setting! And honestly for the lighthouse one as well. I believe the new trade paperback covers of the Ambergris series all have mushrooms too.

[@katien3022]

Omg I love your part one of this! Can’t wait to watch this now 🤩

[@camillefausto1656]

Finished from start to end and its actually 106 book rec. She got so excited. 🥺✨

[@Dayiiz93]

Omg I can’t believe you’re enjoying For The Wolf. I read it in august and I liked it but I didn’t think you’d love it. Can’t wait for the wrap up!

[@circleofleaves2676]

"Something that will make you feel like you're alone in a lighthouse". Can also recommend The Alphabet of Light and Dark, by Danielle Wood.

[@TwilightTwentiiThree]

the all too well recommendation MADE ME SCREAM brb running to the closest bookstore near me

[@meanmuggin0384]

I love this series Your pick ups of books are also good

[@iris-wn2do]

I love this 🥺 Can't wait for the next 100 specific book recommendations ♡

[@Lee_.Writes]

I love heather Dixon as an author and I have one read entwined but her writing is just so beautiful

[@AbrilP96]

I could listen to you talk about books forever 💜

[@MatthewTeixeira]

First time I've seen anyone mention The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, and I am so glad!! Such an amazing series that never gets talked about enough

[@newtton683]

oh my god hell yessss!! I just squealed when this came up in my recommended!! I need stuff for my 2022 tbr!!

[@CatherineDoII]

Book videos must be the most relaxing and intriguing videos! 😍 That's why I love this video! Found so many good recommendations and now I can't wait to read them. 😍📚

[@isabellmarkin7825]

I love this format! Also I‘m looking for a book that feels like a wake up call.

[@Kamila_Koziol]

about food and cooking would always be either Karen Blixen''s Babette's Feast or Como agua para chocolat by Laura Ezquivel.

[@eleanorcook3515]

Ooh I'm constantly looking for Groundhog Day type books (day on a loop type thing). I've read The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and Life After Life but I just want moreeee

[@newoos]

your voice is so comforting and soothing :3
