24H READING VLOG || Books with Emily Fox

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Follow me on Goodreads to see what I'm currently reading and follow future readathons :) bit.ly/2a9Qoki

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'll definitely do a video on it! I definitely don't do 24h readathon often though lol Audiobooks are a good way to read more while doing other things (shower, getting ready, cleaning, cooking, walking, etc) which helps!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I definitely read my physical books too! I think around 50% of the books I've read so far this year were from my shelves!

[@teliabattle3986]

BookswithEmilyFox Hey there I just follow you on Goodreads & I already love your KZbin channel for books because you inspire everyone to read! I already had my summer reading book from Oprah's book Club & it's a memoir.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Posting this a bit later than planned ... better late than never though! I'll go in more details in my next wrap up but HOLY SHIT read this book!! :D

[@seaoftigers]

BookswithEmilyFox I was reading this book with you on Goodreads but cannot complete it because of distraction so had it on hold for now.will Love 💚 to see more reading vlog by you.. (This time a physical book please)😂

[@Lilli626]

BookswithEmilyFox when you mentioned the poppy war I was immediately intrigued and got the audiobook (that’s how much I seriously trust your recommendations lol)!! Just waiting for September or October to read/listen to it☺️.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm really hoping you'll love it! It's the best book I've read this year I think!!

[@dielmlon]

I love your videos, can't wait for the next one *-* Btw Our savage song it's amazing! You should read it.

[@ainura-675]

I’m so happy when you post! Especially love your reading vlogs! I hope you are doing great! Thank you so much❤️

[@nfil1643]

please film a bookshelf reorganization!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

For sure!

[@snake-xp2on]

You should definitely invest in a kindle! Not the tablet ones, just one of the basic touch screen black and white ones that are purely for reading ebooks. They’re a lot easier on the eyes and don’t make you as tired, and reading from your phone is super bad for your eyesight :) just a suggestion, I think you’d really like having one! The basic ones are also pretty cheap

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

My laser eye surgery is guaranteed for life so my poor self is taking the risk 😂 But seriously I keep spending my money on books instead and in Canada we can't connect our kindle to the library directly so I'm basically being petty and refuse to get one until they fix that!

[@snake-xp2on]

BookswithEmilyFox aww I didn’t know about not being able to connect your library, that sucks a lot :( love your channel anyway, I love hearing ya talk about fantasy books and take a lot of recommendations from you ♡

[@akpe09]

BookswithEmilyFox I think the "Canadian equivalent" to kindle is kobo. I've always had a kobo so idk the difference. Anyways, I absolutely love mine AND i love that i can borrow from the library through overdrive.

[@belencampos341]

If you gonna do a reorganization of your bookshelf plese record it!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Will do :)

[@curriesis3]

Your shirt reminds me of one I would have worn and loved as a little girl of ten in 1975. So funny how fashion comes back around! Love your channel Emily!!! Hugs from Maine.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Fashion is fun like that :D

[@littlebookbin]

Pink sands candle is everything to me

[@aishakurbanova9659]

please make a bookshelf tour!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

What's the best recent fantasy book you've read? I need to read more!

[@CodiesBookCorner]

Girl red sister! It’s a 5 star read that’s pretty similar to poppy war- although I’m not sure anything can beat that book this year :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I keep putting it on my TBR and then I don't read it -_- Hopefully I'll force myself to read a few physical books this month!!

[@jared1030]

Game of Thrones! It's like my 3rd time re-reading it and you should definately read it, though I'd be suprised if you haven't already!

[@marielzanibegona460]

I finished Before They Are Hanged yesterday by Joe Abercrombie and it was sooooo good!

[@lpscrazypaws]

I know you've probably heard of this before, but if you haven't read A Court of Thorns and Roses you are practically not living. (I don't know if dystopian is your thing, and it's not fantasy, but I also recommend the Gone Novels!)

[@abigailauyeung8343]

Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle is my favorite fantasy series EVER!!!

[@amusicalbookworm]

If you do a bookshelf reorganization video, I’m here for it!

[@tessavery2151]

I'm currently reading The Poppy War right now, and it is amazing...

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

So happy you're loving it too!!

[@victorialee4155]

I remember watching your Goodreads updates while you were reading! Everyone is raving about this book so I must pick it up soon!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You totally need to!!

[@grietineleee]

This is so random but you remind me of Spencer from TV show Pretty Little Liars 😂❤️

[@openlybookish]

Hope you feel better Emily. Love your shirt.

[@helenejeppesen2133]

How are you liking “City of Brass”? I have it on my nightstand, waiting for me. Also, some days ago I read a sample of “Poppy War” and was very intrigued, so this reading vlog quickly became extra interesting for me 🙂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm liking it but reading it at the same time as PW was a mistake lol Nothing will compare! I didn't finish it fast enough so I have to wait until I get it again from my library :S

[@monikamarsollek3493]

Hi, Helene, here we 'meet' again...just wanted another opinion about THE POPPY WAR, because that's not my usual genre;-)...❣

[@A_wildflower]

I loved City of Brass! So so good. I have been hearing very good things about the poppy war and want to read it. I’m just finishing the Magicians Land right and am enjoying it.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm about 30% into City of Brass and I'm enjoying it! I think it was a mistake to read both that and The Poppy War at the same time because nothing will beat TPW lol I'm pretty sure it will be my # 1 book of the year! I need to continue the Magicians series! Have you watch the tv show?

[@firezumc]

Lovely video, was really looking forward to updates from you! :) Can't wait for your next wrap-up.

[@merelmountain]

That shirt is amazing! Love that detail as well

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you! I'm trying to find more like it because I'm obsessed :D

[@layanification7732]

Im currently reading the poppy wars and I feel the same way! I think it's going to be the next big fantasy!! Glad you were enjoying it just as much I am:)

[@bethanylawrence2717]

Have you ever tried reading on your phone with white text on a black screen? That's what I do and it really helps my eyes while reading ebooks.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh I didn't know that was an option! I'll have to check that :)

[@chiara.ffederico]

I honestly can't read without it anymore, it makes the glare/light much softer (or so I perceive).

[@wishesonaeroplanes]

Hi emily, loved your readathon blog as always. 💙 Leave your bookshelf as it is for a while if it isn’t bothering you! It’s always so organised. Aaand it’s nice to see a messy bookshelf background for a change.😁 Plus It’s nice seeing I’m not the only one constantly messing my shelves. Hahaha! That unicorn pimple though.. you made me laugh out loud!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I kinda like the organized mess too lol It just shows my books are well loved 💙

[@sarahlucas1999]

This book was amazing. I'm so glad you loved it too 😊

[@danigotch123]

Ok your mood in this vlog is me! I can love a book so much and know that I should probably spend more time reading than on the internet, but yet I still choose the internet lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I swear the more tired I am, the lower my attention span is 😂

[@lynxlou]

Seeing this made a bad day a lot better! Love your reading vlogs :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

❤️

[@PetrikLeo]

So damn pleased that you loved Poppy War! When I first read it, there was only like two or three reviews on the book on Goodreads. But I had no doubt that it would become something BIG in the fantasy world! :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You're one the person that convinced me I needed to read it ASAP! I'm really hoping the next 2 books will be as good :D

[@PetrikLeo]

Woohoo! I'm glad to hear that! Yes, fingers crossed that the next two books will be as good or even better! :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Btw I just got my hands on the Divine Cities trilogy! 2 at my library sale and one on BookOutlet!! Very excited to read them!

[@PetrikLeo]

Ah yeay, finally! I hope you'll love them, Emily! It's a slow burn fantasy with mystery element and unique world-building. Also, watch out for Sigrud, I love that guy! :D

[@JennV-B]

Ok I'm an unhealthy level of excited to watch this video!😜

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You need to read this book!!

[@JennV-B]

BookswithEmilyFox Absolutely!!! It's high on my TBR for this summer! I hope there's a book sale coming up at Indigo or Book Depository because I hate paying full price for new hardcovers lol. The internet has spoiled me 🙃

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Yeah I got the ebook because I wasn't patient nor did I want to pay full price lol

[@jared1030]

I do most of my reading through audiobooks as I don't get a lot of actual free time to just read. I mostly listen to audiobooks while walking my dog or during bus travel :)

[@blobaloo]

I laughed at the end lol My libraries don't have it yet, but hopefully soon!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I was clearly sleepy the whole day so I should have known I would fall asleep haha

[@mckenna8540]

Emily, will you please read Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins? It’s in my top 3 favorite books of all time. I am so interested to hear your thoughts. I love that you read older books and don’t necessarily read what’s popular on booktube. Thank you...McK

[@tzim8692]

Emily, are you planning on reading An Ember In The Ashes??

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's on my shelves so one day for sure!

[@shoval8641]

not really related but i just finished reading "The Name of the Wind" and it was absolutely incredible (it was also my first adult high fantasy!!) and i need to know.... WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING TO READ IT???? (you're basically my go to for high fantasy recommendation so I really want to know what you think of it!!) also now that i have conquered my fear of high fantasy, which Brandon Sandarson book do you recommend to start with? while i only own the first book in the "Mistborn" trilogy, my library has a lot of his books. Lastly, I've been eyeing "The Poppy War" for a while, and since you liked it so much and gave it 5 stars (which i know you don't give easily) i added it to my TBR.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm trying to wait until the third book is announced since I hate waiting! Either start with Mistborn or Warbreaker (available for free on his website!)!

[@lpscrazypaws]

I love these vlogs! I have literally probably seen all the ones on Booktube. I think I have issues...

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Vlogs are popular for a reason :)

[@melissamalone5923]

Hope you’re feeling better Emily, you still sound a little under the weather!! Glad you’re reading and getting some rest!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you! That cold really got me lol

[@shaiqsultan3283]

I‘ve been waiting soooooooo loong for a new video.

[@Jane_kelsey]

I loved Red sister. Hope you'll like it

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Totally off topic, but hubs and I have recently incorporated protein shakes for breakfast 5 days a week. I am stealing your cool brew concentrate mixed with a protein shake idea for hubs. He spends almost $3 every day on his Starbucks cold drinks at work and this could break him of that habit! Yay!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You’ll get addicted! That shake is the best one I’ve tried!! Really helped me hit my protein goal!

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

BookswithEmilyFox you are so right! I followed some how to videos on KZbin and made some cold brew last night. Hubs is now obsessed! One French press of cold brew will last the whole week! So excited!

[@annaramirez18]

YASSS I LOVE YOUR VLOGS!!

[@BluInfinity]

What’s your under eye product? Any recommendations for cruelty free stuff?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's the catrice liquid camouflage concealer and it is cruelty free. The color range sucks though so it depends on your skin tone! I recommend the Wet n Wild photofocus concealer too!

[@la-vr8eq]

Did you read An ember in the ashes? If not, you need too! It's an amazing fantasy series :) (Sorry if i made any mistakes, i'm french ahah)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Pas encore, mais c'est sur ma liste!

[@menollyalexis]

I just finished The Hero of Ages and it was every bit as amazing as you said! But now every time I pick up a new book to read I just think, "...but this isn't as good as Mistborn..." and put it back down. I'm waiting not so patiently for an order from Book Depository including The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and some others I am counting on to pull me out of this slump. :P Awesome vlog as always! :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Sanderson's slumps are the worst!! I'm sure you'll find something to pull you out of it soon :)

[@lynxlou]

I also listen to audiobooks when I'm taking a shower :)

[@TheEmilyNielsen]

I just got the Poppy War and I'm doing a buddy read with multiple people!

[@ile19r94]

Read it on june and it was amazing! I loved it! When I get to last 100 pages, I didn't want to finish it. It's going to be a long wait until the next one 😓

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I did the same haha The author mentioned she's currently writing the 3rd one and finishing the editing of the second so hopefully not too long!

[@aliraelife9858]

I noticed abandon on your shelf, the one by Blake crouch. Have you read it? Did you like it? I have tried twice and I HATE it and I know you haven’t liked a lot of his older books, but you enjoyed Wayward Pines and Dark Matter. Just wanted to see if you had an opinion!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I haven't read it yet! After reading the WP trilogy and Dark Matter I bought 3 other books from him... so far I hated the first two and Abandon is the last one... I'm not excited to read it anymore lol

[@aliraelife9858]

BookswithEmilyFox I’m sorry 😂😂😂 the reviews are so mixed and the premise behind the book is amazing. I would love to give it ONE more chance

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Have you read his most recent books? His writing really improved but it's not amazing either. The rest of the stories were just good enough to compensate but reading his older work as kinda ruined it for me 😂 I'm hoping to read it this fall but I'm afraid I'll have to put 3 of his books in my "Worst of 2018" now!

[@aliraelife9858]

BookswithEmilyFox I think the newest one I’ve read is dark matter and I LOVED it. I read it in one day, which is why I was shocked that I didn’t love abandon. I think I feel the same way. I recommended the books to my friend and he mentioned that he doesn’t think he writes female characters well, but he puts so much detail into his male characters and they are like, all the same, and it definitely made me see his books in a different light.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I agreed that his characters, overall relationships and even dialogues kinda suck lol The premises and pace are good enough to compensate in his last books but not for his older work apparently!

[@horror-sickness]

that ending is so relatable to when I try to sleep before bed: Fell asleep hahahaha

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Right? You could even tell that I wasn't convince I would come back for a last update haha

[@gabbychiera8816]

Trust me the second half of Eragon gets much better x

[@goldenelk3294]

I see what looks like Outlander on your rainbow TBR shelf. I really don’t think you’d enjoy it. It is 100% romance. Also stuff goes down that seems very very unnecessary to me. I got about half way through the second book and DNF it. I really wanted to love that series but it’s just a bit much for me.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's how I feel too... hence why I haven't picked it up yet lol

[@inavitale3223]

I found Outlander SO problematic- I’d love to hear you critique it, Emily just for the tea, lol. But personally I had to DNF. (Possible spoiler?) there is so much unnecessary sexual assault that the author seems to want to pass off as romance. 🐸☕️

[@emmavanweert1013]

I literally finished Eragon a few hours ago. I enjoyed it (though I have to admit I picked it back up on page 140 something after months of a break and I had to force myself for a while.) And my eyes just literally skipped the word Eragon cause it's mentioned so frequently.

[@seaoftigers]

I was reading this book with you on Goodreads but cannot complete it because of distraction so had it on hold for now.will Love 💚 to see more reading vlog by you.. (This time a physical book please)😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I kept being distracted too!! 😂 I blame it on the cold I had just survived haha

[@Lilly1668]

What lipstick did u apply in the beginning of the video?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's the etude house cherry sweet lip balm (the pink one!) bit.ly/2KUfOAB

[@Lilly1668]

thanks, it looks so pretty

[@JulEnglefaris]

When I want a fun drinking game I watch Emily's videos and do a shot everytime she says "technically" 😅❤

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Or basically... you'll probably die though!

[@inesslt367]

What is the name of the app that u r reading in ? Thanks in advance

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Libby!

[@ChristianRumi]

wondering if youve ever read the green mile by stephen king.... seems like the sort of book you might like. i just finished it and i am quite strict on my 5 star ratings as it seems you are, and this one knocked it out of the park. it has a good mix of poignant memories, magical realism, 1930's america, mystery/thriller, and jailhouse stories, and the characters are so well crafted. (heads up though, there is a very gruesome scene about mid way through, but seeing that youve read horror and others by king i dont think it would be beyond you)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

No yet since I know I'll be heart broken since I loved the movie! I definitely want to at one point though!

[@stellaisteeth]

Potential solution: Film your box now, then add it to the end of the year video and get rid of the books you don't want to keep.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Sadly the way I film my yearly wrap up, I do piles to show all the books - the ones I get from the library I'll use a similar size book so I could do that but it's just not the same :P

[@stellaisteeth]

I see! Another potential solution: turn them into a Christmas tree with fairy lights and bookish tchotchkes, or otherwise find a way to make something happy from the books that you didn't like until the year is done.

[@legendaryreader39]

Great video, as always. ❤💜

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

💜

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I NEED THE POPPY WAR IN MY LIFE

[@lyrolrethbarker5148]

a stack of potter

[@catherinecote3081]

I know it's not related to the video, but you made me buy the seven deaths of evelyn hardcaslte x)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I hope you'll love it :)

[@rubalake]

it seems like you enjoy e-reading so much, you should totally consider buying a kindle. its better for your eyes and the battery lasts for so long.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I've been thinking about it but Kindles can't be synched to our libraries in Canada and I'm petty and refuse to get one until they fix it :P

[@CodiesBookCorner]

Yaaas! I loved the poppy war so much! it is up there with mistborn - which is a bold statement :) my favourite book of the year- hands down

[@jenniferpeterson530]

I need to read this book! 😂 Honestly Eragon is the best book in that series, I was not impressed either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sanotaku6273]

where is the june wrap up

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Coming soon I'm late in my schedule!

[@06BIBOI]

I definitely could never do any legit reading on that little ass phone but to each his/her own I guess lol !

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

ebooks from my library are free and since my phone is all I have to read them I can't really complain!

[@Sky-fz7ku]

I read ebooks on my phone also. It can be a strain sometimes, but its not unpleasant. I sometimes switch to my ipad if I want a bigger screen. My biggest peeve about reading on my phone is that sometimes it takes me a lot longer to read on my phone because every 4 or so "pages" is one page in the actual book. It can make it seem like the book has a million pages, but sometimes it makes it fly by faster. It depends on my mood.

[@ashleyjoyes4425]

zachary romeo yeah I read on my phone too but sometimes on my tablet too

[@whatkaylasays]

BookswithEmilyFox usually you can read ebooks from the library right on the computer!

[@wahtusy3519]

no july tbr? 😣😣😣

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

June Wrap Up and July TBR should be next! I'm just late in my schedule!

[@SarahB-vg6vz]

You need to get an iPad or Kindle! The Libby and Kindle apps work great on those too... makes me cringe to see you reading on that small screen. If you're reading on your phone a lot, get something bigger!

[@Emmareads15]

Oh, I don't know how you can read on your phone. I just find it too small and too distracting.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It is but since it's free I can't complain too much lol

[@Emmareads15]

Haha, true, a freebie cannot be turned down!

[@NjIceTea]

First!
