Emma on gay covers: *it's gay, i'm in* Same emma same 😂

[@rayne4898]

It’s not as delayed as my amazon book order 😂

[@eliseh9167]

Same. My order from Book Depository is late 😅

[@TheDailyDanny]

omfg😂

[@KileyKeeling]

“By the way it’s gay” LOLOLOL same

[@graverobbersassistant]

I wanted to write already for some time, so... Thank you so much for introducing me to the Shadowhunter Chronicles, without these books I would not be in the place where I’m now, they gave me the reason to fight each day, and cope with problems that I would just ignore in the past and told myself that it would get better, as if they were not even here. These books helped me to find my place in the world and truthfully realize who I’m and what I want to do in the future. They helped me so much that I cannot even describe it in words. So thank you, for introducing me to them and for always making my day better with your positivity 💖💖

[@springcorelorien5650]

UnNormal Human being ❤️

[@bryantbboyd3690]

Hearing you praise my favorite series of all time is so comforting. I'm glad your in the headspace your in.👍

[@camrynharris4790]

I’m proud of you!! I loved those books! They were there for me when i had no one a long time ago and it warms my heart to see they have the same affect on others❤️ I still pick them up today!

[@nicolefooter]

literally gasped when you held up the clockwork copy. ITS SO PRETTY ugh

[@camrynharris4790]

Nicole Footer I loved Clockwork so much!!

[@aza4624]

girl you're so pretty !! everytime i see your videos i'm like ?? how is this possible to be so kind hearted and attractive

[@readbystarlight4205]

Wayward Son definitely has some mixed reviews, and I think it's because it's different to what a lot of people were hoping for. Carry On is fun and magical and the love story is adorable, and Wayward Son feels like being brought down to earth afterwards. While I wanted it to be cute and fluffy, I actually love how real it is, and it has the most relatable depression representation I've ever read. You feel somewhat frustrated with Simon for having a total lack of motivation and pushing people away, and it's the exact same frustration I have towards myself when my depression gets bad. I love, love, love the way it was represented because it really hit hard for me in such a meaningful way

[@aimstu]

the ninth house cover really matches your eye colour!!

[@averyjeanne]

I think most of the mixed reviews for Wayward Son comes from it not being as happy and fluffy as the first book. It deals heavily with depression and PTSD. I can see why some people were disappointed with how different it is to book one. I really liked it though and I think you’ll probably like it too.

[@kaybeereads705]

I think you'll like Radio Silence by Alice Oseman as well. A few of the characters struggle with sexuality. The main character struggles with what she wants to do in college. It's a great read.

[@itsnotrainer]

KayBee Reads yes!! radio silence was by far one of the best books i’ve ever read

[@Binxie_]

The best books of 2019, where is thou 👀

[@havenblake1784]

Akata Witch is absolutely beautiful, amazing, thrilling, and the world that the author crafts is so magical.

[@magicalsolitude516]

If you loved Heartstopper you should check out Alice Oseman’s novels. They’ve all got LGBT characters and Nick & Charlie are even in her first novel Solitaire. Love your videos Emma

[@maryhelen7588]

I'm not usually a romance reader but The Kiss Quotient slayed me HARD. Highly recommend!!

[@kittycup5]

I just picked up ninth house today from half price books and when I got home I was so excited to see it was a signed copy!! I can’t wait to read it!

[@dearestlilith]

A good girls guide to murder sounds absolutely amazing!!!! Another thing to add to my reading list. My long, long reading list.

[@sanna5623]

jkr about the harry potter series: 1:54 lmao

[@Koo-v5r]

💀💀💀

[@sstjohn96]

I'm screaming omg

[@LostMediaYouTube]

1:55 *

[@anastasiarose3007]

you’re content has been so amazing emma! i’ve been loving all the videos you put out, & the amount of effort and work you put into your videos really shows! keep working hard 💕

[@readernac13]

Wow the Clockwork Angel edition is just stunning. I think I'm going to try the graphic novels because I just absolutely love anything Cassandra Clare writes. Next to the Twilight saga it's my favorite saga of all time! 🤓📚🐛

[@ashleygeis4469]

Book one is Carry On and the sequel is Wayward Son? Sorry but the Supernatural fan in me just panicked slightly. I am so excited to read those

[@Nora-mi6ug]

Yep, the author Rainbow Rowell did that intentionally! Also, Carry On is an amazing book, I hope you like it!

[@ashleygeis4469]

Nora S I’m super excited!

[@bryanawoodson3724]

I read Akata Witch for my YA Literature course at university and really enjoyed it! Between the mystery/thriller aspect of the kids trying to locate a killer and the culture overflowing in the story, I found it really interesting! I’m hoping to get around to reading the second book soon!

[@alexandrafilas8769]

If you’re really interested in astrology, I would recommend getting a costar! It’s an app on the apple store and it gives great insight.

[@graverobbersassistant]

Me : I should read Lord of Shadows Emmmabooks : *releases new video* Me : Oh, c’mon. What Am I supposed to do now? THIS IS NOT FAIR!

[@adriannepena8140]

UnNormal Human being read lord of shadows and read it now 🙌🏽😤

[@yulissac4364]

Same with me but carrie

[@alyssac5130]

Same- I’m reading it right now as well

[@graverobbersassistant]

Yulissa c I loved that book! (one of the reasons why I have the 2013 movie adaptation poster as a profile pic ahhah)

[@graverobbersassistant]

Adrianne Pena I just finished it, and I don’t know what to do right now...I want to start QOAAD, but I’m scared...

[@louisity]

I like the bangs! I prefer the Clockwork Angel 10th Anniversary cover than the City Of Bones 10th Anniversary cover. Warm colors for the win! ❤️ I only read Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. I believe it is the first book that I read in verse. 😄 If I'm very excited, I think I'll use the word ecstatic. 😄

[@thegalacticzoologist]

“It’s gay. I’m in.” Is the biggest mood ever

[@tayrocks22]

I JUST finished Emma in the Night the week of Christmas and oh my Gooooooooood. (It deserves that many o's.) It's such a good read that I found by chance at Walmart. I hope you enjoy it. It's twisty as hell, but so damn good once you discover what REALLY happened. You also gave me a few insights into new reads. I've been randomly tapping into booktube lately, but finally decided to subscribe just now. Can't wait to catch up on some of your older videos!

[@fromaleinne1709]

Omg, I love your light set so hard. Wish to have it. It's just perfect.

[@eileenkasan9500]

Congratulations on being the book nerd of the year on Epic Reads!! We love youuuu!💛✨

[@123sccshelby]

Great book haul! I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with you on The Beautiful! I mentioned the same thing in my favorites video, because I loved it but felt it lacked the big time vampire element is was marketed as.

[@helloitspriya8003]

Ur vids are what’ve became my study breaks ♥️😊😊

[@eozya]

Akata Witch is AMAZING I love it so much

[@gradytadman]

Akata Witch is amazing. I gave a four star rating, the only issue I had was the writing at times was a bit off for me, but the story was great.

[@allthingsnik]

I always love your summaries of books and how passionate you talk about them and you always make me pick up new books that I would never if you hadn't talked about them ❤️

[@theBookMage]

I loved My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, it's so raw and honest (and pink!) and the mental health aspect is so relatable, hopefully you'll end up loving it as much as I did ^__^

[@sunnivakinnerud5314]

akata witch is such a good book! i loved akata warrior as well. really recommend them

[@inescarrera584]

I've read the graphic novels of TMI many times and they are so cute and although they don't include 100% of the total book, the important stuff is in there. They are really realllllly good and the artwork is gorgeous!

[@courtgarris1396]

I adored Akata Witch! I have read and annotated it a couple of times! It is so beautiful and it explores so many important themes. I really hope you enjoy it and I CANNOT WAIT to hear your thoughts! It is a book that I definitely think doesn't get enough love 😍 I also really liked Emma in the Night!

[@amberkernaghan1585]

Love the haul!!! Some of the books you got has been on my tbr sights for a bit while some now I want to get badly.... thanks for the video. When I see your videos the passion that you talk about books makes me want to read more.... I'm so glad I found your page on here. Also love the bookcase...

[@lottiebot]

I read My Dark Vanessa, and did it ever take me on a ride. It was so beautifully sad and heart wrenching. The author is something else with her thoughtful prose. I had to put it down several times over the month because of how connected I felt to the story. I also got one of the Carry On hardcover sleeves, and I'm so happy my books finally match. Thank goodness!

[@jordanbuono5730]

"By the way it's gay!"

[@cheylovebug3979]

Ugh I love anything by Ellen Hopkis!

[@cryingaboutbooks]

laura dean keeps breaking up with me is SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!

[@rosiejennapsych]

I work at a waterstones and we get 50% off books and free books sometimes. I really thought it would make me read more but it makes me BUY more, especially the special additions :/// such as ninth house and the confession oop

[@NicoleFoti]

Oh I love those illustrated spine covers! So pretty

[@mayficlds]

THE CLIP ON BANGS ARE BACKKK 😍😍😍

[@amberdiorable]

This just reminded me that I saw you at Tomi's book launch and never got the chance to say hi!

[@VanessaxSedgwick]

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has already been released in the UK, and it was one of my top reads last year ! Had me totally hooked, and the reading format was so interesting, would definitely recommend it ☺️

[@siddubois4753]

Going to add a few of these onto my TBR 👀

[@aprilh130494]

Same!

[@pucksandpaperbacks]

graphic novels are MY LIFE

[@nelliandbooks]

I feel like nobody is talking about Children of Virtue and Vengeance anymore. Compared to the first book the conversation is really mild

[@ramyaaaa]

Nelli I liked it but unfortunately it did not create a huge hype

[@Uzosfoodlabs]

Reading it now. Halfway done and loving it

[@zoefoad335]

I have read both Heartstopper and I absolutely LOVE THEM BOTH, I'm actually really lucky to be able to go see the author herself at volume 3's book signing.

[@themorethemaria]

THE BEAUTIFUL IS EVERYTHING 🥺❤️

[@DanaLover]

Date me, Bryson Keller sounds sooooo much like a manga Seven Days : Monday to Thursday and Friday to Sunday! O.O

[@nerdykiwi981]

I love your book shelf decor 😭 I wish I did that with my own 😂😂

[@han1575]

So beautiful like always❤️That your uploaded made my day❤️Thank you Emma❤️

[@headoverbooks15]

Great haul Emma!💙💙💙💙

[@meganwilliams207]

I love your eye look!!😍

[@kyleebutler8923]

I would love a video on zodiac sign book recommendations 💗

[@christina4157]

I feel like we had opposite opinions on supernova which is fine just so interesting. But, I liked your video for the mini Cassandra Clare haul.

[@devanshisharma2447]

I BOUGHT THE TENTH ANIVERSARY EDITION OF CWA TOO AND ITS SO BEAUTIFUL, I ACTUALLY CRIED

[@Darrkness]

Thanks Emma. Some of those I've read and some I still need to.

[@katie-annewatson7055]

I’m a saviour of abuse and I’ve always wanted to write a book about how hard it is to deal with. I was only 5 when it started and it stopped when I was 11 I’m now 17 and having to deal with that is something I don’t wish anyone to experience.

[@dvrk_academic]

People Kill People was amazing and eye opening and I can't wait to get into more Ellen Hopkins books

[@marisela3621]

A Shadowhunter Reader the crank series by her is really good

[@dvrk_academic]

@@marisela3621 I'll add that to my list and check it out. Thankyou!

[@automaticflight]

it's 6:30am on a Saturday and I am now just frantically adding books to my amazon cart

[@bookellenic1327]

I really want to read The How and the Why and My Dark Vanessa!

[@kidronramirez52]

@emmmabooks. Happy new year Emma 🎉❣️❤️🎉🎉❤️🎉!!!!! Hope all is going well... Really great video! I missed you 😭😞😔😞😭😭👋👋👋

[@ChristinaFaithLucci]

So happy to see a video of yours tonight! You always make my day 😊💕

[@midgettjordan13]

Didn’t know where Emma was going when she mentioned thanksgiving and then once she said cyber Monday, I was like ahhh. Books and deals 😂 I gotcha girl :)

[@BooksOnStereo]

This haul is so damn good! So many interesting reads.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

WHOA what a haul! I ned to read Ninth House and The Beautiful. It's good to know it doesn't vampire much though, as that was the main reason I wanted to read it and it is good to shift my expectations. Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria actually sounds SO interesting and something I have thought about before so I will definitely be reading that one. I have People Kill People and just need to read it! Another one which interests me and sounds so important is In The Country We Love so I added it to my TBR as well.

[@fiza3033]

the 10th anniversary edition of clockwork angel has the first chapter of chain of gold too.

[@caenerys]

oh shit those dark artifices illustrated spines are GORGEOUS and now I'm really trying not to order the entire set.... again.

[@ilsenleon2378]

Date Me, Bryson Keller sounds like everything I ever wanted!!

[@apoorvajangale9667]

I thought of far from the tree too....

[@natalieclaire6047]

Your videos always brighten my day ☺️

[@pandareads]

I added basically all of the books to my tbr 😊

[@marletevolz]

YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL. you rocking that fringe girlie

[@liz-art]

I've been needing to pick up carry on, and maybe renegades because you rave about it so much 😂

[@leoraaileen]

the ninth house copyyyy oooo omyyyy goooood

[@ida1718]

My heart stopped when I saw you uploaded!

[@thesicaeffect5164]

now my holidays feel complete ♡♡♡

[@annar8498]

Wow I’m early just wanted to say I love your channel

[@alyssac5130]

I am also in the process of collecting Cassie Clares books and TID was my favorite trilogy (currently reading Lord of Shadows) and once I put the money in my card to pay for my preorder of CoG, I’m gonna buy the Clockwork Angel 10th anniversary

[@carolinetaylor3069]

Oh no I’m so sorry you didn’t like Supernova! I know you were really looking forward to it!

[@chaithanyakarthikeyan]

Okay my amazon cart is overflowing

[@Bailey_93]

Watching this in the parking lot of the bookstore...this might be a bad life choice....

[@neverendingsadventures]

I haven't read any of these books but I now what to read them all. 😂❤

[@emmanovella]

Desperately trying not to add half of these to my wishlist... I HAVE ENOUGH BOOKS ALREADY

[@fairylitsunsets]

Happy new year Emma!!

[@lukasellerbrook9612]

hi emma! so my boyfriend and i are celebrating our two year anniversary in new york and i was wondering if you had any recommendations on things to do (besides obvious tourist things) or places we should try to eat at? p.s we’re going in april if that helps with anything

[@katiewendt4880]

You should read the red rising series and on the jellicoe road

[@bookish.j3669]

Oh I was the one that sent you The Kiss Quotient, hope you enjoy it!

[@jessicacapper3733]

Will you be doing a 2020 Most Anticipated Releases video??

[@sophiebenney5969]

I'm from the uk and have already read a good girls guide to murder ( as it has already been released here ) and really enjoyed it

[@WineRedEchos]

you should check out the series awaken online. it's really good.

[@maxiem7322]

Happy new year Emma❤️

[@veroagustine4310]

I have always been drawn to Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me; the cover and the art is 👌👌. But I'm skeptic since I budget my book buying 😅 Akata Witch didnt do much for me, I think I'm not one for middle grade fantasy.

[@hannahjones6449]

ughhhhhhhhhhhh im soooooo excited for this vid!!!

[@PrideFiction]

I think you would really like The Places I've Cried in Public by Holly Bourne if you liked My Dark Vanessa. It was a book that completely took me buy surprise and blew me away! 100% recommend! (and any of Holly's books in general, she's fab 😊)

[@gabyflores6344]

Anyone else notice how the stocking with an S disappeared
