a Slow Week Stuck at Home 🏠 chores, blanket forts & reading🧹

hello hello, welcome to a a slow, peaceful week of bumbling about at home, walking through the woods, ducks, dogs, blanket forts, cold cups of coffee & doing some relaxing chores and cleaning. How have you been? What are you reading? I've been switching back and forth between Nausicaa and Kiki's Delivery Service the past week and both have been so magical and lovely, especially needed to balance out the terrifying books I've been reading! Anyway, grab a snack and enjoy xx

If Anne can be *Anne of Green Gables* why shouldn't Emma be *Emma of Tiny Tomatoes*

A slow week is honestly so appealing especially now exams are done; I'm just flicking between rereading favourites and making cups of tea, while having Netflix binges, it feels good to just breathe and enjoy moments I guess ☺

[@doseofliterature5339]

Thank you so much for showcasing our box! We’re so glad to hear that you loved everything and we are SUPER glad to hear that you haven’t read any of the books we’ve sent you. Happy Reading -Jared&Denise

I've always hated the feeling after classes and exams are done because after a while I just get so bored and want to go back. But now seeing your routine, I might just make some adjustments

[@djunaskye6220]

3:54 omg my heart skipped a beat! Is that my art I see on your wall?? 😭💗💞 It's the mushroom print (I sent some fan mail a while ago) :D so cool to see it pop up in your video!

[@emmiereads]

YES IT IS!! I think I opened your art a couple vlogs ago, I loved them all! Thank you so much Djuna, the little snail ones made me so happy :')

my fiancé and I built a fort and left it up for several weeks. it’s the ultimate cozy.

Emma lives like how you know how people having a busy tired famous life in the public eye all throughout their 30s and 40s and then they go and live in the hills among plants and animals and nature,and grow their own food and live in peace away from the city. She's living that nice life now and it's so calming to watch.

[@ivydigest]

Thanks Emmie for showing us neurotic booktubers that it's still OK and necessary to take slow days. The wooden path with lush greenery is gorgeous!

[@smritithapa]

the elephant plant watering thingy is so kawaiii 🥺💗

[@CassieandraJ]

Just found out my 8 month old kitten is terminal your videos always help me relax and escape. Thank you

[@imyreads]

You think you were bad at taking care of plants? I killed my cactus 😂with DEHYDRATION 😭

[@sudipabhattacharya13]

It's almost midnight here and this is honestly the most calming thing I could watch before going to bed, it's perfect✨✨

[@lalajohno8173]

Can you do a video on how you tab (and annotate if you do) thank youuuuu

[@unailic1874]

Absolutely love you Emma! Also, i’m so satisfied with the fact that we share so many interests such as books and studio ghibli movies! It would be fenomenal if you sometime make a separate video just talking and expressing your opinion on every ghibli movie that you have seen so far! ❤️

[@maeiscompletelyfine]

I just celebrated my birthday 3 days ago and this is a great gift to me, Emma! Gentle reminder that it’s okay to take things slow and do things that make you happy. Something that I always need to tell myself. Thank you for what you do 🥰🥰🥰

I don’t think Emma realises how many books I started to read because of her.

emma and her tomatoes

[@chelleandpoppy6379]

Emma’s vlogs are my favorite. They’re so peaceful and relaxing ✨

[@jessicaveiga4777]

I've never planted tomatoes, but some grew in my backyard a month ago or so, and oh god, it grows and spreads so much and quickly! I now constantly have tiny tomatoes which is great, of course. I even got to do some sauce for some past on the weekend.

Hi Emmie!! I recently discovered your channel and been loving ALL the videos you have! it's so cozy and your personality is so sweet, so thank you for your positivity!

[@ba-gg6jo]

You are just so organised. I'm just glad I wake up every morning, let alone having a plan. Well into 'Frankenstein in Bagdad', 'The Florentines. From Dante to Galileo' by Paul Strathern (non-fiction) and another non-fiction book 'The House of Fragile Things' by James McAuley which is about Jewish art collectors and the Fall of France and their fates after the Nazi occupation of France.

[@jackjohnhameld6401]

Your video made me laugh : the grey windy day outside your window could be here in Glasgow, Scotland. Canada has been a country I have wanted to visit all my life, but I am nervous at the thought of long flights. Canadian novelists and poets line my bookshelves and I have very old copies of National Geographic featuring every Canadian state. The historian John Prebble spent his youth in Saskatchewan but always thought about Scotland : I think about Nova Scotia, Toronto, Vancouver ...

Mmmm I remember reading Oliver Twist a few years ago. It was back when I only read one book at a time and refused to DNF a book. Took me like four months to get through it.
