Doesn’t anyone else wish they had a best friend that you can talk to about books you are currently reading and they actually find it interesting and a best friend that can recommend books to you and they can borrow books from you and you can borrow from them? Don’t you wish you had a best friend who reads the same books as you so you both can gush over the characters and predict what’s going to happen next in the story?

[@toriwork8891]

It's so refreshing to see someone not have the same books everyone else has. I love lots of the YA series other people cover, but I also adore classic lit (and so many other kinds), so it's great to see other genres represented.

[@lailazeta9884]

I’m a Filipino and it’s my first time to see Jose Rizal’s book in foreign booktuber shelf. Noli Me Tàngere is such a great book you won’t regret reading it.

I love that you read different genres and books that aren't necessarily trendy on booktube, it reflects a different approach to literature that you don't often find on youtube. It's so comforting and refreshing, it really feels like talking to a friend about books!

[@kristeluzumaki8350]

ahhh I love the sound of a book being pulled out from the shelf

[@sgussy]

Everyone needs a book nook ..even it is small... who agrees? Sweet video.🌸

[@aubreyholt279]

Literally my favorite types of bookshelf aesthetic is the thrifted mixed edition classics 😍 this video was sooooo satisfying!

[@wolfstar7383]

as brazilian I felt so happy seeing machado de assis in your bookshelf ❤️❤️ he's one of our most brilliant authors (jorge amado will always be number one for me though) and even though I haven't read the alienist yet I watched a old short movie based on this book during a brazilian literature class when I was in high school and I enjoyed sooo much, I have the book here and I hope to read it soon because this story is really interesting I wrote this comment right after I saw you showing the alienist and then I came back to watching the video, and now I had to stop again to edit this comment because I just watched the part where you show a clarice liespector book!!! it really makes me happy to see brazilian authors in your bookshelf ❤️ brazilian literature is just fantastic and I really hope that when you read those books you'll like them enough to search for more of our literature, you won't regret

[@lexqt1556]

I have a lot of books, just like you. I always tell myself: a book already read is enthralled when it’s open. After I finish every book, I just want the whole world to read them. My cousin asked me if she can barrow my book, I told her: a book is supposed to be read and the reader is supposed to be fascinated, so ofc I let her barrow it. The amazing aspects of a book are truly worthy. Thank you for the tour!

[@ddd_28]

Somehow her entire channel, her face,her voice, her wardrobe,her recommended books, her bookshelf,her room everything together forms a cozy winter aesthetic. How can a PERSON give that vibe I don't know, it's just wonderful.

[@fernandaneves4945]

soooo incredibly happy to see Machado de Assis on your bookshelf 😭 i really want to recommend to you “captains of the sand” by Jorge Amado! it’s my favourite Brazilian classic (and one of my all time favourite books ever) it tells a lot about our society (even now). I want to give you this recommendation as a gift because you gave me something so special and that became so important to me.. i’m talking about Rilke! I read him because of you and how beautifully you talked about him and Rilke has helped me get through A LOT! so i really want to thank you with captains of the sand, a book that is extremely important to me as well ❤️

[@koritsi2142]

Wow I guess I need to finally start reading Rilke! Especially bc German is my first language so really I should be grateful for being able to read his poems in the original version

[@lindanesi2431]

About branching out and making more diverse content: I really enjoy watching you cook so maybe a ‘book review while baking a cake’? ‘QnA while I cook my lunch’? I will enjoy your content no matter what you upload😊

[@kyarchu]

or that idea emma had where she would cook stuff from that manga

[@Lionheart5375]

Emma, your videos are so cosy and comforting and it really feels like a friend is keeping me company! I love that you have the book nook of your dreams, it looks so cosy and like your being cocooned in your little library 🧡 You inspired me to organise my classics in publication date - you're right, it is so interesting seeing who fits where in history. And I now have my historical fiction organised in their point in history... I just love organising books 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Hope you're keeping well 🧡

[@Mariak82]

I am interested in putting my classics in order like Emma and you. How do you find out to sort them? I am just getting bookshelves delivered on Sunday and hoping to sort all my books nicely on the shelves, So excited. :)

[@Lionheart5375]

@@Mariak82 Ooh! I managed to get a nice bookcase this year too and had so much fun organising... Then I bought more books so - oops! - had to organise again 😂 If you have goodreads they usually have the publication date - sometimes classics have the year on the copyright page of the book but not always. Hope you have fun with your bookcase 🙂

Entwined has such a special place in my heart. It is definitely one of my favorite books of all time. So underappreciated.

[@anneonymous9680]

your voice is so soothing and relaxing. it makes me feel so safe.

[@whateverbabe]

Is nobody gonna talk about the new thumbnail aesthetic? Loved it so much! I've watched this video with my little sister (she knows I love you and your videos a lot) I'm trying to make her fall in love with reading. I loved the bookshelves and your taste is so classy, liked the fact some books were old and used and you chose diffrent editions unlike those booktubers who have all brand new books displayed and same editions, you're authentic. Please do more ASMR cozy shots combined with soft music, I also love videos where you bake because it reminds of Ghibli films haha

[@whateverbabe]

By the way, I'm an Arab and it made me happy to see that you read a book by Khalil Gibran he's amazing. I advise you to try Mahmoud Darwish he's Palestinian poet and the Turkish writer Elif Shafaq, her famous book "The Forty Rules of Love".

Your voice relax me so much!!! I think that your reading spot is absolutely adorable, I dream for a place like that in my house😍😍😍 I also wanted to tell you that you have inspired me to read more classics, I have read a few and I have loved them, but everyone is always saying that classics are har reads; but the way you talk about some of them with such passion make me want to read a bunch of them, thank you!!!❤❤❤

[@aramaytanagon6787]

AAAHHHH this is the first time I’m seeing Touch Me Not on anyone’s shelf! It’s followed by “Reign of Greed” and both are written by our national hero Jose Rizal who rebelled against the Spaniards using literature and paved the way for our freedom after 333 years of Spanish occupation. So excited for you!

ahh i love your shelves so much! you constantly make me appreciate all the books i have even more than I already do! and i'm greek so i've done a lot of ancient greek stuff at school and though i was interested then i never really picked anything up on my own now that i'm out of high school and you've already like inspired me to delve more into the ancient greeks (again)!

[@treesnflowers5588]

To watch these videos is like to read a good book. Such warm and cozy.

[@psedowoodo3334]

Wow this honestly reminded me of my grandpas study back in Nepal. It was a decent room , just one out of the 6 rooms in the house. The house is located on a mountain so it's very cold half of the time. But my grandpas study room had a big shelf containing all kinds of books from recent novels to Sets from The Hercule Poirot series. There were two sofas and a sherpa wool carpet all around. The room had some crazy insulation all around and one window through which you could see the trees. It was a warm and cosy room for harsh Nepali winters. I used to spend hours there after lunch just soaked in the novels until I was summoned for dinner. ah good times.

[@gennaroth]

i adore the prophet by gibran! it's my mother's favorite book and she really dislikes reading. the book i read was the edition she read out of when she was my age, so it also holds a very special place in my heart.

[@ericad3850]

What a great collection! I have maybe 1,500 books now (not including ebooks). However, I probably own only four novels, since I usually buy novels in ebook form or get them from my public library. I hope you are doing well! Cheers.
