One book Emma didn’t mention that I think it’s LITERALLY spring is THE SECRET GARDEN. Honestly just the way the main character grows WITH the imagery of the garden is chefs kiss!!!

okay but i love how she pronounces the names of the authors in the actual language (btw your pronounciation of 'alexandre dumas' was super good😌)

[@MyAliasAndNoOneElses]

I'm pretty she mentioned in a video once that she actually went to a French speaking school in Canada! So she knows French which is probably why she could pronounce Dumas' name, but I totally agree with your point xD

[@Sam-zw9di]

I would also recommend Anne of Green Gables for this time of year!

[@happiness4654]

I'm really so happy to see you enjoyed The God of Small Things. I hardly ever see book tubers talking about books from my country. I hope that one day I will be able to save up enough money to send you some more incredible Indian literature♡

I'm from India too❤️.Which state are you from(if you don't mind me asking)?

[@larissaprates1384]

I live in a countryside city but where I live is actually downtown city so I don’t get to run in the field and stare at trees. There’s nothing more that my soul has been CRAVING this past year than doing just that. Sit with nature, listen to the birds sing, notice the seasons change, feel the wind in my hair, listen to the waves over and over again. So if you’re reading this and have all of the above consider yourself LUCKY and go enjoy our beautiful Earth (if not for you, for this stranger who’s speaking to you ahaha)

[@carlosmedrano2590]

“Momo” by Michael Ende is a wholesome and lovely book I’ve read recently and I recommend. “The 100 Year Old Man That Jumped Out The Window” is also a very fun read. 😁

[@annakivekas3108]

I love the way she says Arto Paasilinna. As a Finn who has read the book. Also I'm recommneding it, go read it, It's so great.

[@yakathekannibaali]

I agree! And I was also so surprised to see Paasilinna's book in this video because no one has ever recommended or talked about Finnish books in English booktube.

[@annakivekas3108]

[@written_by_hank]

YES!!! Emma mentioning The Hobbit literally just made my day. I love it, and I feel like a lot of people say it’s too hard to read (which understandably, it can be sometimes) and they just give up on it. But idk it just made me so happy that one of my all time favorite books was mentioned.

[@varrsha715]

Your looking so gorgeous 😍 You are a garden fairy 🧚‍♂️ reading books and recommending people Love you sis 😘💓💗❤

[@autumncalahan8471]

I'm so happy to see someone else loved The Girl Who Drank the Moon! Such a beautiful story and utterly magical!

[@grrrr_mommy]

Hey Emma, i know that i'm not the first one to say this but there's really something unique about you that gives your viewers a kind of spark? Quarantine has been so depressing until i found your channel. You give off some kind of aesthetic vibes which feels like really cozy yk. Sigh why do i suck at describing things *sobs* Anyways i'm literally reading every book you recommend hehe BTW you should totally try out Diary Of A Bookseller ^-^ Byeeeee

[@saloneelopes2424]

Watching Emma talk about books and literature is just heart warming.💗

[@antonian8058]

The girl who drank the moon is amazing and so much like a hug, I totally get you❤ I read it in German first and then in French and now I'm desperately wanting to read it in English too :) I love the paper birds and what they mean to the story🌟

[@JesseOnYoutube]

I too adore The Girl Who Drank the Moon. A middle grade hasn’t touched me that deeply in many years; it is a truly universal novel of power, truth, and familial love 💕

[@juanamariafamulari1391]

recommended books: .The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas fils .The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna .The girl who drank the moon by Kelly Regan Barnhill .Kiki´s delivery service by Eiko Kadono .Daughter of the forest by Juliet Marillie .The house in the Gerulean Sea by TJ Klune .Tulip fever by Deborah Moggah .The God of small things by Arundhati Roy .The Hobbit by J.

[@moonstonepearl21]

It's wonderful to see someone else besides myself get so much joy out of nature! I too love the sounds of birds :)

[@happiness4654]

saw the title and I just knew in my gut that Kiki's Delivery Service would be here

[@emmiereads]

It’s too good!!🌸

[@abbiel7566]

Highly recommend The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett! It’s probably my favorite children’s book and I read it every spring 💛

[@ewelinahernon6556]

When my book club decided to pick The God Of Small Things as our May read, I quickly went back to your March Wrap Up video to make sure that it was actually the same book that you had been talking about there. Hearing about it from you again in this video, makes me want to start reading it straight away. :)

[@ceciliacrasto4602]

Currently reading/rereading the Anne of Green Gables series and oh my goodness do I fall in love with Montgomery's writing. Her lyrical and flowery descriptions of nature (as per Anne's romantic view) is just beautiful! 10/10 will always recommend!

i would highly recommend The Raven Cycle books (theyre 4 and all sO good). Super lovable characters, lots and lots of magic and whimsical things, welsh mythology, a magical forest (do you feel the spring vibes?) and found family tropes. among so many other beautiful things. they're my all time fav books

[@rescatooor]

I might recommend Elizabeth von Arnim's The Enchanted April. Four women at the beginning of the 20th century just decide to rent a villa in Italy and go there experience the blooming spring month. The author wrote the novel while enjoying a similar holiday so it's full of vitality and colour. Very underrated author.

If you liked daughter of the forest by Juliet Marillier I'd totally recommend her book Wildwood dancing! It's a retelling of the 12 dancing princesses set in Transilvania. It has a gorgeous fairy world and while it does have it's flaws it's an absolutely magical read!
