i have such an addiction to watching book hauls oh god

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

They're the best :D

[@rivierjojo]

SAME

[@gemwiz]

I do that too!! 😂 buying the complete series without having any idea if I would like it or not. (I just noticed, almost 30k subs!! 🙌)

[@yyuna7]

The Magicians' Guild!!! I loved it so much back in middle school and high school, re-read it quite a lot, but it's been at least 5 years since I last read it. I need to pick it up again. So glad to finally see a booktuber mention it!

[@ChrislynReadsWithPugs]

Behind Her Eyes is amazing!!!!!! Just when you think you know... you DON’T!!!!! Hope you enjoy it!!! I can’t wait to read Sleeping Beauties!!! You got a lot of great books!!! Love your channel!

[@Georgesmomsu]

Yes!!! Sleeping Beauties is so good!!! Also, the Long Walk is my favorite S King novella. Great haul!

[@lalaland5780]

Behind her eyes is great! I loved it!

[@pangi08]

"Swan Song" is a great book. Read that book over a decade ago, and it is still one of my faves.

[@aneweliseonlife]

I think the thing about Stephan King is even if you hate several characters or the book doesn't go the way you want it to, you can't stop reading his books! I was super meh about a few of them but I am also slightly obsessed nonetheless!

[@ACourtofCrownsandQuills]

The Running Man is a classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie! Based on the book of course. :) I loved Peter Swanson's books. Glad to see them mentioned in your video!

[@starry_worlds]

For post apocalyptic books, I highly recommend The Girl With All the Gifts.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's on my shelves! I need to actually read it though :)

[@W.Rain.]

Yey! It's one of the best apocalyptic books I've ever read 🍀 P.s.- there are actually two versions to the story! the one in the full book and another as a short story in an anthology (the name of which I can't recall). The endings are different 😎

[@kiyahnahhughes3372]

Every time I watch one of your hauls I end up adding so many more books to my saved for later in my amazon cart 😭 The Long Walk and Her Every Fear have been moved up on my TBR list

[@beenah25]

Hi, thanks for being a book KZbinr. I always have a hard time picking a great book but now I have you to turn to for recommendations. Thanks and keep up the great work!!

[@AoiSora603]

So inspiring! Some years, I plow through books, some years I crawl through, but I always adore my books and am on the lookout for more. This makes me wanna get back to the grind and try to get through more. I have 10 bookcases in my house, and about 200 of them have not been read yet. 😩 Also, Brandon Sanderson is my FAVE!! I saw him on your shelf. Yaaaay!! Oathbringer comes out sooooooon!!!

[@ruuuuuskimychica]

In Different Seasons, the short story The Body was made into a movie called Stand By Me which is really good too

[@kathrynjck]

I'm reading The Long Walk because you mentioned it and I'm loving it so far! That lipstick tho....looks so lovely with your dark brown hair.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Yay!! Hope you won't be too tired after :P

[@PetrikLeo]

I think I just found a new favorite booktuber here. So many different books from other booktuber! :D

[@sherrismith8874]

Petrik Leo Yes, that's what I love about Emily: she's so eclectic, and reads adult books as well as YA. My experience has been that most Booktubers are predominantly YA readers, and seem to all be reading the same books.

[@PetrikLeo]

I agree. I'm just super bored of looking at the same YA books on all other booktube channel. I mean, there's nothing wrong with YA but seems like subscribing to one popular booktuber is equal to subscribing to 50 other booktuber because of the similarity. I want variety and just form this video alone seems like Emily is it! :)

[@FBakes]

Same! I watch people's reading recommendations or "books I've read this month" and it's mostly the same books being spoken about. I like how Emily includes a variety of genres as booktube can very focused on YA.

[@ohoodmohammed3548]

AAAAA the magician’s guild and children of time. OMG . I’m going to be hawking your channel to know what you think of them. I can’t believe I’m getting this excited over a book haul. 😍🌈😻🍦🎊🎈

[@elena-mariaboni]

Hi Different Seasons is also my favourite Stephen King. Another sci fi reccomendation is Dark Orbit by Carol Ives Gilman. Happy Reading!

[@blankadzigerovic6087]

So much King I'm loving it 😁 different seasons is my all time favorite book. Also great taste in books if I may say so. 👏

[@GabyGabsBooks16]

Lots of thrillers that sound good in this haul! I love your lipstick shade

[@bearhugclarissa]

Yaaasss!!!! Perfect start of my Saturday morning ☺️

[@ashleybautista5012]

Please do a Bookshelf Tour! I'd love to see all of your books coz you're awesome.

[@elinebrolihaga3699]

You absolutely don't need to read the other books to read The Snowman! I've only read that one and none of the other books in the series, and it was just fine - a 5 star read for sure!

[@meganngeorge]

I loved Jo Nesbo’s The Snowman. This was my first Jo Nesbo too 😄

[@sashugh]

Before I forget: 1) please read The Passage (maybe next year, since it's a big book) - really well written post apocalyptic vampire/monster story 2) loooove The 3 musketeers! There are actually 5 books in the series. I read them all and until now they're my favourite characters. 3) French classics to read: Voltaire: Candide and other stories. I love Voltaire's humour and satire. Loved it so much that I picked Candide in French when I was in France although my French is very basic.

[@beamingforbooks]

Every time you talk about a Stephen King book I add it to my wishlist 😍

[@KendraRB]

I read Madame Bovary as an independent study for a Studies in Literature class last year and I loved it. I hate most of the characters but the story is crazy! I hope you enjoy it as well.

[@AoiSora603]

Oh, magical school recommendation! The Bartimaeus books by Jonathan Stroud. It's not a magic school per se, BUT the magical education of one of the main characters is essential to the plot. This series is a wonderful and dark YA series that I absolutely adored.

[@AndreaThG]

I just read Madame Bovary for class, and I absolutely loved it!

[@AndreaThG]

Oh and I've also read Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prevost, and really enjoyed that too!

[@dearfuturebookworm8190]

They both die at the end is on my wishlist since so damn long !! Hope you enjoy, I can't wait to get it for myself. That's a real nice book haul tho ! So many looks so interesting !

[@INE479]

Loved that you picked up Jo Nesbø! You should start with the first one to understand the private life of the Detective. I am on the 4th Harry Hole book. I loved Headhunters by Jo Nesbø and it is a stand alone.

[@lucylume]

First video of yours I've watched and I love your haul :) I want to watch more from your channel now x that accent totally threw me for a while and when I realised French Canadian it all made sense! :p thinking of picking up the running man and the long walk, thanks! Xx

[@Camilla-bc4nq]

They was very beautiful, the french classics. Jo Nesbo, I think you can read that one without have read the earlier one. But you can miss a bit of Harry Holes lifeproblem and relationsproblem he have in earlier books. My newest purchased was the illustrated Hary Potter and the prisonner of Azkabhan.

[@book_outlet]

Awesome video, Emily! So many books on my TBR now because of this haul! - Melissa

[@CaroMontero]

Emily do you have a video where you talk about Sleeping Beauties??

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3S9kn-CZdeWhq8 :)

[@chrissybooksandberries]

I have The Queen of Blood too and I'm excited to read it.

[@HannahCassieBooks]

Love your book hauls, always end up adding at least few new books to my tbr. I am participating in Spookathon TBR this year and first book I am gonna read is Long Walk completely because of your recommendation, got super intrigued by it and cannot wait to start :)

[@riomadre]

I just bought that book The Snowman, and I haven't read the others yet either, so I'll be looking forward to your review! I was also going to recommend Swan Song to you, just such a great book! I'm currently reading The Troop by Nick Cutter; it's pretty suspenseful so far! Thank you for your awesome videos and reviews-- I love your book channel and your beauty channel, and my 3 year old daughter loves to watch your videos with me. She calls you "Pretty Red Lips". My favorite booktuber by far!!!

[@pamatx9400]

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Behind Her Eyes.

[@christinebihasa6863]

Ohmygawd you actually have you lipstick in the descrip! Hahaha cause i was gonna ask anyway 😂 beautiful vid as always

[@caseyc2497]

The Black Magicians Trilogy (Magicians Guild is the first) is one of my favourite series ever. It's magic, political thriller, war, deception, love, friendship, it's got it all! !!

Have you read Sartres "La Nausée"? I think it's so good!

[@suepellerin]

Have you read The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy? They're much more children's books than the Harry Potter series, but I remember absolutely loving them. They have quite a number of similarities to HP, but the first one was published decades before HP came out. I've always wondered if Rowling read and was influenced by them!

[@taryndancer29]

Sue Muecke Pellerin Did you watch the children series that came out? It was in the late 90s and was in the UK.

[@madysonrileys]

Can't wait to hear what you think of behind her eyes!

[@W.Rain.]

*Paper Magician* is a fun book about a girl who gets a magical apprenticeship that she's not necessarily trialled about :) Kinda has the general vibes of Midnight Circus and a bit like that of A Darker Shade of Magic in some ways.

[@alnsubuga]

What a haul! I went a bit overboard last weekend for National Bookshop Day in the UK. Of the 10 books I bought (oops!) I'm currently reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, which has been enjoyable so far. Also picked up the two latest Hogarth Shakespeare retellings - New Boy and Dunbar. Hope to read those in November.

[@alnsubuga]

Looking forward to your review of Binti:Home, if you do one. I want to read the series but am not sure if they're books I should buy or borrow.

[@debbiealexander9313]

Awesome book haul.. Love Stephen King...

[@tammycochrane2496]

Swan Song is a great book!

[@betocaceres1704]

Have you ever read manga? Also you have to read misery by king!!! It’s a really good book!

[@camilalecaros7171]

Hi Emily, have you read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern? It’s a great book to read during fall and it’s truly magical

[@evareads2817]

I totally geht the translation thing! I can't really read the German translation anymore when the original language is English:D I read the Magician's Guild years ago and I really liked it^^ But I feel like almost nobody on Booktube is talking about it so it's great to hear someone talk about it, can't wait to hear what you think:) The Sudden Appearance of Hope is really interesting!

[@Kat-fd7ff]

Different Seasons is brilliant. I totally recommend it.

[@ArielsBooklist]

I think you will really like the short story Mile 81 from Bazaar of Bad Dreams!

[@janalturrentine619]

You took a good risk w those Gladstone books! I hope you like them, I loved the first one, it was something different and creative and interesting. The world building was really satisfying for me. I also loved grace of kings, one of the best fantasy books I've read as it spans many years all through one book and I loved the politics. Kinda similar to the feeling I had while reading GOT. Highly recommend

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I hope so haha :)

*30'000subs!* CONGRATS!!❤

[@marystuart83]

Le Rouge et le Noir by Stendhal! One of my favorite classics you HAVE to read it😍😍😍

[@marystuart83]

(I'm talking about french classics recommendations 😂)

[@danielaleon6194]

I’m the same with translated books (but me with English/Spanish) I do believe a lot is lost in translation and also books in English are way cheaper than Spanish, where I’m from

[@JashanaC]

Random & not book-related.. you have probably talked about this before... honestly I feel like I may have heard you talk about this before, but I can't recall which video... ! At any rate: did you learn English from taking classes, or did you essentially teach yourself? I'm so impressed with people who learn English as a second (or third or fourth or whatever - haha) language, because I feel like English has the weirdest grammatical rules ever. Haha! I'm also impressed with anyone learning a new language fluently because honestly, learning an entirely new way of conjugating verbs is SO HARD. That has been my most challenging part of trying to learn Spanish. Eek!

[@niyoushafarzinmoatamed5155]

I speak persian, french, spanish, arabic, a little bit of italian and english and i have to say English is the easiest language to learn by faaaaaaaaar honestly i feel sorry for ppl who do it the other way around like ppl whos first language is English must have such a hard time learning other languages cause they essentially don't even have so many concepts an they have to learn from scratch wheres we're already familiar with a lot of grammar stuff and we just learn them in other languages

[@JashanaC]

Niyousha Farzinmoatamed Dang - you’re awesome! 😄 Maybe that’s what it is then - bc I just struggle so much with the grammar (with Spanish)... it makes me crazy! Random: I have cousins (by marriage) who are Persian & when they speak Farsi I’m just enthralled. I think it’s so pretty & interesting!

[@alexandraboucher287]

I speak French and learning English wasn’t that difficult because I started when I was really young. French is way more hard to learn

[@MegBookishRamblings]

Hi, I haven't read any of the books you've mentioned though I did enjoy seeing the books you hauled. I too love reading books about magical schools! You might like Noctis Magicae Trilogy by Sylvia Izzo Hunter which starts with The Midnight Queen

[@jenmcglasson]

You should do a video on the best Steven King books. I want to read his stuff but have no idea where to start :)

[@basma9915]

I feel the same way about reading the original version books and not translations, I would recommend you check out Les Misérables in french, I don't really like reading classics but oh god, that book was amazing 👌

[@ilovesmallville13]

Hey! I read The Long Walk two years ago and I still think about it sometimes, it was so good! And in Different Seasons my favorite story was Apt Pupil, so dark!! I did the same as you, as soon as I learned English properly enough to read books I stopped reading the translations in French because I just felt like I was reading a completely different book! One of the only francophone authors that I read is Patrick Senécal, I pretty much love all of his books! Do you read his books? Love your channel!

[@booktothebecky]

Different Seasons also has the short story The Body, which was adapted into an amazing film called Stand By Me. I would definitely recommend the film, especially if you enjoyed the short story. Even if you didn't like the short story, film is excellent haha

[@ordinaryreader3911]

I read the Magician's Guild a few years ago and really loved it. I just read the first book to the follow up trilogy a few months ago and I wasn't a fan. So now I wonder if my taste has changed. I can't wait to hear what you think about it. I'm afraid to reread them. I really loved them, and I wouldn't want to find out they're actually awful, haha. I also really liked the Sudden Appearance of Hope. I just got her new book End of Day for my birthday and I can't wait to dive in!

[@denisa3800]

I think you will be absolutely okay reading Snowman as a first book in '' Harry hole series''. But be prepared its a high level in this series and for example first book can seems to be "boring" for somebody who start with snowman :). And yes the story of Harry is evolving through books but you will be okay. And I absolutely recommend all books with him, love it. :)

[@miralolar6069]

Different seasons is awesome 😊😊😊😊

[@stephl6371]

Have you ever read Le Petit Prince? It's one of my favourite books of all time, I try to reread it every year and I get something new from it every time.

[@varnyu]

Hi Emily! Jo Nesbo is great! And to also recommend a book (or even 3 because it's a trilogy) with magical school in it, if you haven't read it already: Lev Grossman - The Magicians (2. The Magician King, 3. The Magician's Land). It's YA and it's incredible.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I own the first one! I'm waiting to be in the mood since I've been told I would hate all the characters haha

[@HisNeverland]

You don't have to read the books that came before The Snowman in the Harry Hole series :) I started with Panserhjerte/The Leopard (I think that's the English name) which is the sequel to The Snowman and I had no trouble understanding the plot! Looking forward to your review, I love the series since the books are all such pageturners! :D

[@amandanicholls2796]

Different seasons is one of Kings best novella collections. Swan Song on my reading list too, I'm at the same place in Sleeping Beauties as you. Have you read any Zola in French?

[@c.d.6736]

I totally agree with you on translations from english to french, now that I read mostly in english it gives me huge cringe moments when I read translations (especially YA). I'm reading The Lunar Chronicles in french because they are at my library but I know I'd enjoy them more in english... (But I need to save money haha). Some classics that I loved : Les Mémoires D'Hadrien de Marguerite Yourcenar (a bit long to get into it but then it's amazing and it has one of the most beautiful writing), Au Bonheur des Dames de Zola, Le Père Goriot de Balzac, Candide et Zadig de Voltaire, Les Liaisons Dangereuses de Laclos, Lucrèce Borgia de Victor Hugo. I loved all of these so much, all discovered thanks to school :)

[@rubesfood]

The Black Mage series by Rachel E Carter!(first book is 'first year')Seriously so underrated and every book is a five-star to me.Takes place in a magic school from when she enters a school to become a Mage

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

How heavy is the romance? I'll check it out :)

[@clarkkentnaruto4322]

Hi. Great haul. I have never been into reading horror, but like you, I have recently really gotten into reading mystery and thriller books. I have also been really developing a liking for autobiographies. I am currently listening to the last book in a 3 book anthology of Star Wars short stories. I'm on the collection called Star Wars Tales Tales from Jabba's Palace by and edited by Kevin J. Anderson. I also read the book version of the cartoon the Halloween Tree, which was really neat. After I get done with reading these short stories, I need to get back to finishing the John Corey detective series I was reading by Nelson DeMille. I also need to get back to reading all of the Guy Gavriel Kay books, and all of the Land of the Elderlings books by Robin Hobb. I have too many books for Halloween and not nearly enough time to read them because I have been working on other projects.

[@melanieyputo]

I feel you about the translation thing. I used to read books translated in my mother language (Portuguese) but ever since I learned English I refuse to do it. If it was originally written in English, then I'll read it in English. I'll only read translation's if the book was written in another language that I don't know, and even then I want that translation to be in English because I just prefer it. That happened recently, there's a classic German book that I want to read, and since I don't understand German (yet! It's actually one of some foreign languages that I wanna learn one day) I'll read it translated in English. If one day I do manage to learn German then I'll re-read it in German. Also, I really liked The Sudden Appearance of Hope, so I hope you like it too ^^

[@maddielc204]

Have you read Lockwood and Co? I just finished the newest one (and last in the series) and I have such a book hangover from it. It was so good! It is technically middle grade, but still a great read!

[@corey5914]

Magic schools: The Balance Keepers by Lindsay Cummings(my favorite magic school book besides harry potter), The Crowns of Croswald by DE Night, The magisterium series by holly black and cassie clare

[@AlyssLysie]

I loved queen of blood. It's adult fantasy.

[@adielango9822]

I haven't read many books about magical schools, but I just finished reading The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud and I enjoyed this one so much! It's the first book in the Bartimaeus trilogy. It doesn't technically have a magical school but more of an magician apprenticeship. I think you will be able to finish it quickly as it is fairly fast paced from the very first page. The story is told from the POV of a 12 year old apprentice, Nathaniel and the djinni Bartimaeus, whom he summons.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I have the first book! I actually read the first chapter recently!

[@adielango9822]

Thats great! Then I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts about it in the future videos. P.S: I hope you don't mind footnotes (that seems to be a turn off for some people, according to goodreads) because there are plenty of those in Bartimaeus 's POV.

[@martapascual9891]

Hi!! I lover the video. About what you said of reading in English rather than in your mother tongue I completely relate; don't know how French translations are but Spanish ones are shitty (sometimes even changing the meaning of some things). For the magical school recommendations I will definitely go for the Magisterium series by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black. And also for a Shadow Bright and Burning. Hope you like those 😊

[@lizaeames8147]

Besides Harry Potter, my favourite book that takes place in a magical school is The Medoran Chronicles by Lynette Noni! It's absolutely amazing and there are still more books coming out in the series!

[@savannavickers6762]

Liza Eames hello fellow Potter head! ❤

[@mamzzzmam]

Different Seasons by Stephen King is amazing, I REALLY enjoyed it. I hope you'll love it as much as I did!

[@maryline0113]

I bought behind her eyes too!!! Can't wait to read it! I recommend you to read paranoia from Melissa bellevigne she is a French blogger and she just released the sequel called mirroir!

[@SomeRandomSingerGirl]

As far as your magical school trope, I'm exactly the same except with Greek mythology. I'll read basically anything if it includes some sort of reference to Greek mythology!

[@gabbychiera8816]

The Shawshank Redemption is one of my fav movies and I want to get the short story collection. I’m a scaredy-cats so it’s probably the only Stephen King I’ll ever read ahah

[@lexiyasss5198]

In terms of magic school recommendations, I 10/10 recommend the Magisterium by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black. They’re technically children/Young teen books but they’re so good.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I've been looking at it! I'll need to try it, I just find middle grade a bit hit and miss!

[@Schokocroquantherz]

Ahhhh Madame Bovary. Hated it. Maybe because I had to read it for school but ugh. Really liked Zagig by Voltaire though:)

[@Schokocroquantherz]

Oh and Claude Gueux by Hugo. Also quite enjoyed La goutte d'or by Michel Tournier!

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

Have you thought about getting Chanson Douce by Leila Slimani? It seems to be getting buzz on book tube with the English translation Lullaby, and it won a book prize, so it might be available in that French only book store :) It's a crime thriller about a nanny killing her charges, but is told in a non-direct time line I believe.

[@Margot1572]

Alexandre Dumas is my favourite author, has been since my teenage years. I hope you like his books too!

[@b3aStYyY]

Hey Em, I suggest you check Kitty G's review of Grace of Kings. She describes the book really well in my opinion(it certainly made me add it to my TBR).

[@nummy_nummers]

I have The Magician's Guild on my kindle but have read some bad reviews which has put me off starting it - looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

[@caseyc2497]

nummy nummers I loved it. One of my favourite series! It's got magic, political thriller, love, deception, betrayal, black magic, mystery, loved it!!

[@nummy_nummers]

Casey C Well that all sounds pretty good! Thanks, I'll add it to my TBR! 👍😊

[@imperatrice211]

I totally understand why you don't like reading translations, I'm the same way !! I feel guilty sometimes not reading many French books though I'm French x)

[@marythewinter]

It has been a while but Pantomine by Laura Ham. But I did order two Fairyloots!

[@siljaelisens5287]

The first Jo Nesbø book I read was The Redeemer wich is book number 6 in the series. I didn't have a problem starting in the middle of the series, but some of the later books are more connected to eachother. In other words: you'll be fine starting with The Snowman. I think that one is one of the best books in the series. I don't know how it is to read the books in english tho. Im from Norway, and the books are written in norwegian, so I obviously read them in norwegian. Oh-and please- read the book before you watch the movie. The movie was not very good. It left out too many important details and the characters lacked personality. I was really dissapointed ☹️

[@ivymuse]

I really want to read the kind worth killing soon! I keep hearing about it recently so I think that's a sign :P

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Perfect time of the year for it!

[@PaigeBradish]

Thanks for all of the Stephen King recs! I've been trying to figure out what to read by him!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It can be overwhelming since he wrote so many books! So far it's been a bit hit and miss for me but the last couple ones I've really enjoyed :)

[@PaigeBradish]

BookswithEmilyFox have you read It yet? I'm reading that one now.

[@FBakes]

Hey Emily, I've seen you've put my favourite book and video game series as to read on Goodreads (The Witcher)! Pleaaaase read The Last Wish (and hopefully the others); it's such a wonderful world and I'd love to know your thoughts. Barely anybody talks about it on Booktube! I read the books AFTER playing the games, as they take place after the books, and wanted to understand the lore and get more of the Witcher world and characters :)

[@lily7342]

School for good and evil is a must read

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's middle grade right? Is it worth it? I've had pretty meh experience with middle grade books and that's why I haven't picked it up yet!

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

My library doesn't seem to do that, but maybe that's because it's a small one. It does have something where you can borrow books, but you don't have to check them out. They follow the honor system and I think allow you to turn them in when you want. The library where my sister lives has sales and I had bought Stephen King's Talisman there.

[@sarahbodnar2035]

Never read a Stephen King book, but you have me interested. Where should I start??? Also I love your lipstick!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The Long Walk!! :D
