I think this is my most effective one so far!! Only 500 more to go 😅

[@Bookswithcassandra]

I love when you DNF a lot. Feels productive, feels fun!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It’s so cathartic! When I pick a book from the jar, it’s easier to decide what to do with it than when I look at all the shelves. It’s been good to get rid of some and finally read others. I’m happy it’s going well!

[@katietatey]

Um... are you the best cat Mom ever or are you the best cat Mom ever? You do know how special you are, right? Who adopts an ENTIRE litter of kittens AND the Mom, deals with tons and tons of behavior and health problems, finds the Mom a new home so everyone can be happier, buys all these enriching toys (looking at the wheel videos we see the cat tunnel in the background). Those kitties hit the jackpot with you. I love hearing about what they are up to. It's just so sweet to see the special bond that you have with them.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Omg thank you ❤️ it’s been a journey! I’ve always said I wanted to adopt older cats because kittens were too much and this has definitely confirmed my feelings 😂 I love them so much but it’s been a lot. My place is definitely their place now with the giant wheel in the living room 💀 I can’t imagine not having them now!

[@kayri687]

i didn't know you went to law school!! super cool

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I get to use my knowledge to refute misogynistic ideas in books now 😂❤️

[@kristina_rr]

I would be interested to hear more about your job (if you‘re comfortable), because I‘m currently going to law school and you‘re one of my favourite humans ever 🙈

[@liligirl96]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and never knew you went to law school! Love getting new lore.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Haha not the new lore 😂❤️

[@juditkovacs1205]

Yes, please make this a permanent series. I personally love these.

[@valeriacristancho2117]

books, kittens, unhauls, a ridiculously big jar... what a way to start the day!!

[@BigRedCatBanjo]

Could you do a more personal ‘get to know me’ video sometime? You are my favorite booktuber 🥺❤️🌸

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

For sure ❤️

[@panikiczcock2891]

Them running on the wheel is so funny 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Charlie is a pro now! I’m going to try to get a clip of him but he can run so fast 🏃‍♂️

[@lydialuvs]

I absolutely love how you’re not afraid to DNF! It makes me sad when people make rules where they cant DNF so they force themselves to finish books they dont enjoy

[@Ssummer0000]

The fold is technically the second book of the series, you have some characherts from the first one make a small appearence towards the end. I really enjoyed 14 (the first book) so much more.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I can’t be the only one that was traumatized by that blender scene 💀

[@danamonsees-cns]

SO disgusting and so unnecessary! I also feel like Netflix didn’t do a good enough job of saying DONT DO THIS AT HOME…so as a GI dietitian I really hope people aren’t making their own 💩 smoothies at home

[@sliceofmini]

Well , if you could do this pretty much forever, I would definitely watch this pretty much forever, because I just love going through books you already own see if you like them , if not get rid of them …

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It’s been really helpful to finally try the ones that have been on my shelf for years!

[@kathleenbrashier2579]

Love Read it or Unhaul it! May this challenge continue for as long as you want to put up with it. 😂

[@kartik3719]

I'm the opposite of you with non-fiction audiobooks 😂 i can't retain any non fiction when I'm not reading it with my eyes 😅

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I do retain more from physical non fiction but the audiobooks are fun to try new topics! Also I love when authors narrate their own books (for memoirs!)

[@greymyers4087]

For Michael Crichton, there was a book I read last year called Disclosure that also gave me some of the same vibes. Basically this woman is accusing the MC of SA and he is innocent. In the end he uses the sci-fi elements from the book to prove his innocence and get her fired, but it was a little too vindictive for me. Like there was too much joy in it and it gave me vibes that the author wouldn’t believe SA accusations. Also there was some weird language around the woman that basically accused her of sleeping her way to her position in the company. Part of it might be that Disclosure and Andromeda Strain are much older than other books like Timeline. I’ve learned to avoid his stuff written before 1990

[@zachreads]

I've read the vast majority of his books "Disclosure is the worst and "prey" was the second worst.

[@edwardsjarje]

What I find with Crighton is that he is really good at writing despicable characters, the ones that really piss you off. But I get why it would be hard to read.

[@sarasmith3676]

Immense World is another book Ed Yong wrote. The book is about senses animals have that we don't and how we can understand more about the world based on the way they behave.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Checking that out!

[@mythtakn]

For a low budget, high concept scifi movie you should try Coherence. Its about a group of friends who are having a dinner party and a meteor flying overhead causes weird things to start happening.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I’ve seen it! I’ve watched so many because I love the concepts even though the budgets are low haha

[@gracesull78756]

this just unlocked my memory of this movie and wow it was such an unsettling watch for me, especially with it being late and on my own, 10/10 concept and vibe but not sure if i can watch it again honestly 😭

[@riankoch9126]

This series along, with Becca’s shelve it or scrap it, are so motivating. I’m still trying to pare my shelves down as the TBR is getting close to 700 books. Sadly I’m such a mood reader that it’s basically a guarantee that if I try to draw things from a jar I’d unhaul it

[@nipiti]

Thank you for the rec! I love this challenge its gonna be fun find other booktubers that do it

[@Colaman112]

"I'm only allowed to put one back a month" "No, no, no" :D

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

🤫

[@judithcakelover]

Yes please do this always. And omg that running wheel!😍 I love it!

[@kathrinholweger8743]

I read I contain Multitudes last month and also enjoyed it, but enjoyed An Immense World (same author) even more. It’s about how extremely diverse the world can be perceived by all the different types and spectrums of senses across all the species and how we as humans sometimes for selfish reasons, but sometimes due to ignorance, incapacity os sensing the same things or lack of scientific knowledge interfere with how animals can navigate their environment and lives. Where I found Multitudes interesting, but sometimes dry, I found Immense World quite readable even though the basic approach was the same (author traveling and interviewing scientists all over the world). Oh, and my cats also have speaking buttons. Only one of the two is using them, but she’s quite proficient. You have to be very engaged with modeling and reacting, though. My cat unlearned one of her buttons during the winter when I couldn’t react to “terrace”, because there was some safety issue I only could fix when spring came around. It’s fun and so cute, though, when they “talk” to you.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

His other book was on my library waiting list a while ago and I never picked it up, I need to!

[@rin55]

Yes, absolutely do this challenge forever, it's really fun to watch

[@1313AnimeFan]

Oohh I’m so excited for the cat button updates! I love those

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

They haven’t touched them since 😭 I’ll keep trying

[@1313AnimeFan]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I’ve heard it works best to start with just one and demonstrate it by pushing it whenever it is relevant. So you are modeling its potential uses for them. If you want a book about using them (since this is booktube after all) you might be interested in “How Stella Learned to Talk: The Groundbreaking Story of the World’s First Talking Dog”.

[@ashleylyon84]

The read it or unhaul challenge really choice violence this month 😂

[@Daisyyy445]

How cool! We are into the same types of sci-fi movies! Triangle and cube were so entertaining! Time loops work for me too 😊

[@Carolina-rd3gh]

Omg you went to law school too! 🤩 Not surprised but a lovely discovery ahaha I’ve been watching you for over 5-6 years (since the makeup channel) and it’s nice to still be finding out new fun facts.

[@cyndee3855]

Did she stop doing makeup videos?

[@Lena_Chris]

So happy to see you so delighted with the books you picked up and to find some good reads!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Right? It can be stressful not to know what I’ll be reading that when I recognize the book AND I really wanted to read it… best surprise!

[@allisonryder4781]

I loved this video! That cat wheel is fantastic, and the buttons were hilarious😂 congrats on the successful reading week!

[@nonfictionfeminist]

I'm not generally into dry writing, but something about Crichton 's just WORKS for me

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Same! Except this book. It literally felt like it was written by someone else :/ I’m going to try Sphere because I haven’t it but I don’t think I’ll buy more of his books

[@kkatiebird78]

I’m cackling at Clawdia pushing the no button 😂 your cats are already doing more with the wheel than mine did in two years!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Today Clawdia mostly napped on it... I'm hoping they'll keep using it XD

[@marniejade]

The Sword of Kaigen is the best book I have read this year by far! Amazing author.

[@joyceredman2136]

Maybe for every 3rd good read, you could choose a nonfiction that you really want to read. You have made so much progress and have at times enjoyed yourself. That is great! Keep up the good work and look forward to the next video.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I've debated removing Non Fiction and Classics since they can be really hard to go through in the time I do a vlog but I'd rather give myself the option just in case I do feel like it that month. At least I get to pick the ones I want the rest of the time!

[@lulukaouette4927]

I'm working on my thesis right now. I have to submit it by Friday and your videos bring me so much joy haha the struggle is real right now

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Breaks are healthy! I remember when I was studying for my exams I would study for 50 minutes then watch KZbin for 10 😅

[@Plants.and.cats5]

The cat content though!! 😂 This is why you are my favorite booktuber!! Thanks for the video!

[@reading_faerie]

13:15 hey… as a child who was abused physically and emotionally by her mother, my father tried to get full custody and the court sided with my mother anyways. Just remember. What you learned or what you think is the standard for all courts all over the world, is in fact. Not the standard. And not true. 🤷🏻‍♀️ there are a lot of judges and courts who will side with the mother regardless of the father’s best efforts.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I’m sorry this happened to you. While these things do happen this isn’t what was happening with the book at all and it felt like the author was randomly using the book to push is personal opinions.

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

Yeah, every man that I know that has been through divorce fought for his kids and none of them got 50/50. One literally had to pay to make sure court documents say he requested more time, so that if his kids ever ask he has receipts for them. Maybe Canada has a better track record, but here in the US mom states are 100% still a thing.

[@carriecongo7616]

This is what I assume about Michael Crichton. I know he was divorced with a child so I’m guessing the ex wife took his money and got custody of the kid. The court probably gave custody to the wife. Because that is what happens, they side with the wife. As a writer he probably writes to what he knows. He was a medical doctor and a divorced father.

[@emryborge7027]

@@encyclopediaofelizabeth those judges are not stupid and have seen it all, and know who’s going after 50/50 just to get out of paying child support. Also judges side with mothers because that’s who 99% of the time takes care of the kids before the divorce

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

@emryborge7027 The way you worded this makes it look like you think my anecdotal cases weren't awarded 50/50 because they were just trying to get out of paying child support. The cost of a contested custody battle can be anywhere from 3k to 20k. None of the cases I know of were men just fighting to not pay child support. They were fighting for more time with their kids. The bottom line is that the default should be 50/50. Personally, I just wish people would think a lot longer about having kids and marriage in general. In the cases I know, the parties involved never should have gotten married, much less had children with each other.

[@roseannbroz8131]

As for the big kitty, it may have been a Maine Coon cat. We have one and he weighs near 20 lbs. Apparently males can weigh up to 25 pounds on average. They are mighty big, beautiful cats. Love this format. Please keep these videos coming. 📚 ❤ 📚

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I hope that’s what they meant because they didn’t specify. Huge cat for sure!

[@sheilak4223]

I had a main coon cat , a big 23 lb teddy bear.

[@kaylabaptista4900]

I love Tess Gerritsen! Her books are very well-rounded to me with a nice mix of romance, suspense, historical fiction/mystery (depending on the book) so they are easy to read.

[@AmyElizabethReads]

We have two male cats that we got from a farm, one is 20 lbs, the other is 26 lbs🙈 I forget how small normal cats are until I visit friends lol farms create some hefty boys apparently 😅

[@alexromanov5054]

Once again, I find myself strongly suggesting you read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver! It's a nonfiction but REALLY easy to read in just a couple days, and such a great choice for summer. It's absolutely fascinating and I know you're working on Demon Copperhead by her.

[@badfaith4u]

My brother loved I Contain Multitudes and One Star Romance is on my radar. Your cats are adorable as always.

[@urosmartinovic940]

Loved this installment of the series 🎀

[@sirgnome]

Have you seen Primer (2004)? It's one of those sci-fi movies you need to watch multiple times, then a youtube video explaining it, and then watch the movie again a few more times. And after all of that, you'll likely still be thinking about it. Also, I finally finished Blood Over Bright Haven and it was so good! I wasn't expecting the ending to hit me so hard!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I haven’t! I’ll have to check it out. I’m so happy you liked it! The author is so good at breaking our hearts 😭

[@amandak.4246]

i would also suggest timecrimes for those who like primer! it's in spanish

[@msellenandrea]

You did the right thing when you put down the gardens of the moon 😂it's SUPER dense haha

That’s what I had heard so I knew right now was not the time lol

OMG, a new Marjan Kamali! I loved her first two books. I had no idea she had a new one out - on my TBR it goes!

Aw love that you got them the wheel! They are going to have so much fun with that.

[@scrapbookingmuchmore9884]

Yes love these types of vlogs

[@zachreads]

So happy you liked Gravity! I started it the day your haul with it came out and was excited for you to read it. I bought "The Spy Coast" by Tess Gerritsen a couple months ago and it has an older female ex-CIA agent and it looks really good!

[@roseelio]

I DNFed "A curse so dark and lonely" and i know you would have hated it too

[@veenovo4777]

I am sad you didn’t give a curse so lovely a chance. I enjoyed it and you may have liked it maybe

[@martinelanglois3158]

Please keep these coming. I have a lot of books (but hardly any in comparison to you 😆) on my TBR and love the process. I do not own a huge jar but a nice metal box with all the titles divided in French and English. Thank you for the fun vlog and images of cats on a wheel.🐈‍⬛ ❤

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I need to get a clip of Charlie. He’s so good now, he runs full speed on it! He wasn’t the one I got the wheel for but he’s the one using it the most!

[@martinelanglois3158]

@@BookswithEmilyFox the wheel made it easier to see how big or long each one is. Good thing you got the big one! Now I'm curious about those buttons Clawdia is fond of.😻 Have a fun week!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Seriously! The medium sized one would’ve worked for Clawdia but for Charlie definitely needed the extra large one 😂

[@loandbehold7348]

Happy Death Day is a film with the premise of reliving the same day over and over. It's a dark comedy which I really enjoyed :D. Also, i was melting when i saw Clawdia's cute lil face 😢

I liked it a lot more that I expected!!

[@LaughingStockfarm1]

I’ve liked some of Crichton’s books-Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain-but Sphere was just dumb. Good luck with that one when it comes up.

[@queenjazz3029]

Prey was boring for me. I read all his books except a case of need. I am planning on read it soon. Sphere is really good

[@jenenemorgan5554]

I would feel the same way about pulling non-fiction books from a jar if I was doing this type of challenge. I have to be in the right mood for certain non-fic books, it can’t be random. Also I only consume non-fic in audiobook format, because I know I will likely not finish it in a physical format.

[@Mari_0706]

I recently read Blood Over Bright Haven because of you and enjoyed it so much! I just got my copy of Sword of Kaigen and I’m very excited

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Definitely give yourself the first half with Sword of Kaigen as like I mentioned it starts a bit slow but it's absolutely worth it!

Emily have you read Wool by Hugh Howey? I saw it on your shelf along with the other two books in the series. Your cats on the wheel and with the buttons are SO CUTE! My cats know the word food too especially because we say it in a certain tone of voice.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I did! I like the first two stories and the rest was okay. I haven’t tried book 2 yet but I’ve seen the show (it was okay). I’ve been testing the cats with the words they know. They’re getting better about not only reacting to my tone lol

[@cynthiafialka]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I bought Wool so was curious what you thought. I’m waiting to watch the series. Cats are a lot smarter than people give them credit for as we cat owners know. :)

[@pamdavies6199]

i went to see them yesterday cause there only 2 weeks old , the black and white one ronnie was growling at me so funny x

[@angelaarcher2355]

I'm the same with non-fiction! Audio is the way to go, especially for memoirs.

[@DesAnanieva]

Oh I am really sad for the Curse not only because you didn't give it a chance, I loved it and also because in my country they didn't translate the last book and I couldn't finish it ( I can't read fantasy in English sadly and it was way back then when I read them... also have the worst memory so.. I dnf the series unwillingly) 😅😅😅

[@kotokoo]

I didn't know those things of Michael Crichton, I have good memories of Sphere, Jurassic Park and The lost world but all of them were read between 9 and 12 years old me, so now I'm afraid of re-reading them. Oh, Malazan... I have to start that series, but it's massive.

[@AuraReadsBooks]

I loved 14 by Peter Clines. I don't think it goes quite as action heavy towards the end but things definitely get weird and exciting. Book three in the series is about zombies on the moon. It's a wild but fun series.

[@Katertot8895]

I was forced to read I Contain Multitudes and lead a class about it and as a person who gets grossed out by spit and snot, it was a rough read, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I remember it being very interesting as well as very gross, which for a bunch of high schoolers being forced to read a non fiction book, that's probably as good as you're going to get.

[@flipfloppoet4377]

I'm 42 years old and I have never read a non-fiction. I am not counting the ones I had to read for university classes. I started a handful, but I can never get into them. I have accepted it as a fact now that non-fiction is not for me. On a different note, I have read "14" and gave it 5 stars. I would not want to read a continuation however. I want to let it stand on it's own.

[@still-reading]

Tigana! You should read that, its really good and thoughtful. And the audiobook is great!

[@anikamercier2651]

I would totally watch this series forever!!!

[@ti_marney7370]

I read Next by Michael Crichton a few years ago and was surprised that I liked it,'cause I don't really read sci-fi.I've kept it in my memory as a good book,so that's something,considering I avoid the genre 9/10.A bit dry,for sure,but I was working night shifts at the time and found it really engaging in the boring hours when there was no work at all,finished it in 2 nights. I still got Dragon Teeth by him,sitting in the tbr stack ever since I read Next,have no idea when I'll read that one,but I feel like Crichton is my go-to author for the very rare moments when I'm in a mood for sci-fi

[@uhsaywhatnow]

4:29 I spotted the book California by Edan Lipucki on your shelf. You talked about it in a haul ages ago and I attempted to read it. There’s way more to the story, but as part of it the main female character exists to be pregnant. I ended up dnf-ing it because I just couldn’t deal. Just thought I’d give you the heads up.

[@rhondasruminationsonreading]

I love this challenge so I hope you keep doing them!

[@nicoleg1062]

A Netflix sci-fi series I really enjoyed (that plays with time) is called Bodies.

[@scottwilson7749]

I know I'm late to this video and you probably won't see this, but I can assure you that (in the UK in the 2000s at least) the bias towards mothers getting custody of children after divorce is not bullshit. I was left with my abusive alcoholic mother who had been preventing me from going to school for months and it took appeal after appeal after appeal AND an appeal from my mother saying she literally didn't want me for my Dad to finally be granted any form of custody. I literally own physical copies of the documents that prove this. I hope the system is better now.

[@amacina]

I’ve enjoyed Michael Crichton’s works in general, but one thing I’ve found is when a character leans super hard into a way of thinking they are typically villains or later have their opinions turned completely on their heads. So I’ve always viewed that as less of a reflection of the author and more of a choice in his writing style to highlight character flaws that typically do resolve in the end (either positively or negatively for the character). I will say there was some controversy over one book, State Of Fear, with the climate change, but it was a book written not long before he died and personally I would just skip. He’s got some other amazing books in his back catalogue, tho! But you might want to skip Disclosure since it’s about the SA of a male character

lol, I have a Norwegian Forest Cat who is 22lbs. But my normal sized cats are 11lbs each and he's a full head taller than them when they sit. Like yes, he's also fat. But he's just built big. I had an orange tabby rescue who was always over 20lbs too. But when he was really sick, skin and bones, see and feel every vertebrae in his back... he was still 14lbs. Some cats are just big

[@caseyc2497]

I had a NFW and he was 18lb at 2years and they don't stop growing until they're 5. Gonna be a big boy. All our cats have been huge (16-18lb normal street cats nothing special) but he is just built different. It's like picking up a dog. Like a boxer or something. Just a brick wall.

Law School?! Very cool; I had no idea. The cat wheel is awesome. Michael Chrichton: I loved Jurassic Park. I heard he was a complete jerk in real life but I didn’t get any details as to what jerky things he may have said or done. Gardens of the Moon: I loved the world of the book but it’s basically laying the groundwork for the rest of the series and can be kind of a slog.

Crichton was definitely a conservative a climate change denier. He died in 2008. State of fear is a book by him that is essentially book arguing against climate change
