That thumbnail is everything I didn't know I needed in my life...

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

When even baby yoda is impressed by your haul, you know it's a good one!

[@wolvezoid8729]

I see baby yoda, I click

[@librocubicularist3664]

you mean: baby yoda I see I click lol

[@evies.1018]

Book hauls PLUS Baby Yoda?! Everything I need in life!

20th Century: Put people on the moon 21st Century: Put toupee on the snow globe IT'S CALLED PROGRESS

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

What a time to be alive!!

[@purplepothos5794]

A Yoda ear hat would be the perfect next accessory for Snowglobe Em.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Where does one even acquire such perfection tho?!

[@purplepothos5794]

@@BookswithEmilyFox Amazon sells a Yoda crochet hat for babies which I'd image would probably fit Snowglobe Em's head rather well.

[@jennawar13]

Oh YES

[@SpoonG]

OMG I need that two-volume edition of Ursula Le Guin's short stories, she's my favorite writer and the Earthsea Saga is my favorite book(s) ever, I love her so much, her sci-fi works too. But I agree, her writing style is very evocative and complex to visualize, which is even better to me. Did you know that she invented functioning languages like Tolkien, too? Total fangirl forever.

[@kissthesea]

Vigilance is one of my favorite books of the year. I absolutely can't stop thinking about it and I read it back in January.

[@imann9151]

Okay! Everyone's an aliebn or however it's spelled?! Suuuuccchh a cute book, if you grew up in the 90s, it pulls a lot from different children's books that were published around then and a lot of stories you'd be familiar with, but the mash up is totally new, but it feels really familiar at the same time? It's a journey, weird, but a journey.

[@16SF]

"Everyone is an alien..." is adorable. I think you will like it.

[@natasja8201]

I bought the serie from Neal Shusterman this month, can’t wait to start reading! I’ve send my boyfriend a wishlist for Christmas with some Brandon Sanderson books, Nevernight from Jay Kristoff, Children of time, Alterego (Marissa Meyer) and a Dutch book by author Thomas Olde Heuvelt called Echo (I recommend his books!)

[@thebookbella4764]

Yes! Baby Yoda!😍😍😍😍 I also got caught up in the bookoutlet black Friday sale. It was too good to pass up. This was a lovely haul!

[@derek3418]

When I was in fourth grade my class had to read where the red fern grows and people were sobbing in class, so buckle up.

[@kristilynrolka-mcgregor2863]

Maria V. Snyder is one of my favorite authors and the Poison Study and the Touch of Power Trilogies hold a special place in my heart! I hope you love them as much as I do! :)

[@bertfechner417]

One of my New Years reading resolutions is to read more non-fiction, at least 1 book a month.

[@amandajbxoxo]

Going back and changing history/ reliving your life is one of my favorites and you would probably love 11/22/63 by Stephen king!! It has pretty much all of that! I hope you get to it soon!

[@amandajbxoxo]

Oh and I got 17 books for $43 on the book outlet cyber Monday sale!! It’s been 2 weeks and they still haven’t shipped it but I’m dying to get them in the mail 😂 such a good sale!!

[@jennawar13]

I haven’t bought any books but I can’t wait to see which ones I get for Christmas and which ones I’ll buy post holiday

[@mariawiswell2506]

I'm about 400 pages into The Toll.....it is going places I would have never guessed. So far, so good!!! This month I picked up The Lies of Locke Lamora, Gemina, The Starless Sea and the 7th(i think) book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Flashback. Keeper of the Lost Cities is a middle grade series, so you might not like it but I honestly really love it!! It's worth a try and definitely a great series for actual middle schoolers because it touches on so many good topics like family dynamics, friendships, healthy coping habits, etc. Mix that with Fae, hidden worlds, magic, magic school!!!, and a long series with lots of books already out makes it a favorite of mine. Okay I'm done rambling 🤣🤣🤣

[@Rich-jv2mx]

The Ruin Of Kings is awesome!! And the second book The Name Of All Things was even better! There will be 5 books in the series too.

[@lindsaym7265]

Ruin of Kings was one of the best new fantasy books I’ve read this year! It’s definitely a book you need to dedicate 100% attention to as it is very convoluted (which is why so many people also have issues with it)

[@williamstewart6454]

Time and Time again is really good Ben Elton started out as a standup comedian He's also written TV sitcoms (The Young Ones, Black Adder etc) and has adapted some of his novels to the stage

[@sarrahlittle4379]

I'm so excited to see you read Ninth House! I'm reading right now and I'm enjoying it so far. Just fair warning, it's definitely not YA😅 💕

[@DarkRuins]

i read where the red fern grows in 4th grade. its very sad but also tragically heroic. i remember it was kinda graphic too.

[@cozycorner_books11]

Have you watched timeless? If you enjoy books about going back in history and what would happen if someone changed something, you would like the show!

[@R3BECCAK]

So I loved The Ruin of Kings but WOW I had to work hard to read that book! I think like a lot of people that the book is more complex than it needs to be. I want to pick up the sequel but I will definitely have to read The Ruin of Kings again and I don’t think my brain has recovered yet from the first time round!

[@bertfechner417]

If you like time-travel books you should check out The Time Traveler's Almanac its a collection of stories about time travel by Isaac Asimov, George RR Martin, Ursula K. LeGuin, H. G. Wells, Douglas Adams, and more. Its big, I havent read it yet but I will.

[@ReadsReaders]

OMG!!! A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY!!!!! My favorite Beauty and The Beast retelling. Could be because it hit home hard. My sister had cerebral palsy (granted a more severe case of it then the Main character has), so it was great to see that in a book. :) Also SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO def needs an Adaptation of some kind like now!

[@barbaramoignard6082]

Time and Time Again is brilliant. You will love it!

[@benjaminsparrow8016]

I bought myself some books for Christmas. But I can't tell what they are because I haven't given them to myself yet! I've read The Ruin of Kings and thought it was pretty good. The author uses a ton of the usual fantasy tropes, but as you've noted, she twists them just a bit so it's not quite what you're expecting. Need to read Memory Called Empire.

[@sinestrogirl]

I am a very big fan of Nonfiction reads. I can usually get through those quicker than fiction.

[@skandar123keynes]

Poison Study is so good! Highly recommend. I'll have to check out that other Maria V. Snyder series

[@RoxIsReading]

I read the first chapter of Vox in a bookshop. I was invested, it was intriguing. But I want to read Powed more, because I'm more in the mood for women as the ones in charge.

[@Jana-gz9ho]

Damn I had my eye on these beautiful Ursula Le Guin Collections and they are over 30% off on Book Depository... I blame you!

[@moshkizzle]

Hi Emily! Yes, I read nonfiction although I mostly read fiction. Maybe 80/20. I have read Spook, which is pretty good though maybe not my favorite Mary Roach. Mary Roach was actually the first author to get me into nonfiction books. Since you like reading sci fi, you might enjoy Michio Kaku’s Physics of the Impossible.

[@Valaina07]

I also keep reading retellings hoping they will be good and feeling disappointed. But A Curse so Dark and Lonely is legitimately one of my top reads of the year, it was done so so well! I hope you like it! As for Dumplin', I really need to read the book but i've watched the movie twice and it made me SOB. i hope the book is just as good, or better.

[@auldsmith1]

Everyones an alien when your an alien too is so good and touching. I hope you enjoy it!

[@pheebsreads7279]

I love nonfiction! Especially space books.

[@britaincampbell6688]

I feel a little dumb that I didn’t check book sites in cyber Monday lol

[@nonfictionfeminist]

So excited for you to read Spook, I love Mary Roach! I also loved Vox. Not everyone's favorite, the writing could have been better, but I loved the story.

[@dompishere3014]

Where the Red Fern grows destroyed me (twice since I reread it recently)

[@Fte1989]

I just finished The Toll! Haven’t been able to convince anyone to read that series yet, so I’m interested to hear your thoughts. I really enjoyed it!

[@DominiqueF]

I read Ruin of kings in October and i liked it more than I expected. Hope you'll like it too!

[@nohungryghosts]

spook is great! also finish stiff! i read a ton of nonfiction. it’s a genre i gravitate towards.

[@becklebooks]

Yessss The Test definitely has Black Mirror vibes. I really enjoyed it too. 💙

[@404CarolineNotFound]

I read both fiction and nonfiction! I tend to have phases where it's one or the other for a while and both popular nonfiction and biographies but also more academic literature. I agree though, I haven't found other booktube people that read a mix like that so far, I wonder why because I'm really enjoying myself! :)

[@jersy6406]

The book about Hitler you mentioned has been translated into some languages, including mine (German), so this is on my wishlist now.

[@YKD697]

What is the name?

[@jersy6406]

@@YKD697 In German its "Adolf H. Zwei Leben"

[@bansheethereader9074]

There are quite a few books from my TBR shortlist in there! Which means that you have a great taste :D

[@ertisakalaci6791]

The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo is being adapted by Freeform as TV show. I'm actually concerned.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm excited for any adaptation but... we'll see lol

[@jennawar13]

Ertisa Kalaci dang I feel like it would’ve been a great film hmmmmm

[@xkarenfromfinancex661]

It should've been a movie );

[@nistha9953]

I feel like movie would be a better idea

[@happydij]

I don't know if freeform will do it justice. I think a movie will be a better idea than a TV show.

[@isamichelle236]

I always thought, that I had so many books.. Then I started watching booktube.

[@jaggerfibonacci7704]

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Robert Jackson Bennet. His Divine Cities Trilogy is my favorite series and Foundryside is great too.

[@Readingwithabawse]

The ruin kings sounds really intriguing!

[@MousseEtpamplemousse]

My favorite Ursula Le Guin book: the word for world is forest. Recommend!! Books I wanna get soon (kind of for Christmas but i will probably just buy them myself when I go home to France): La disparition de Stephanie Mailer et Le livre des Baltimore both by Joel Dicker. 🤗

[@KinST18]

Oh my god never heard of A Curse So Dark and Lonely and after this video I’m craving to read that!!

[@CarinaSchrijft]

Woehoe it arrived 🎉 shipping was a nightmare indeed. I wish we had bookoutlet in Europe though. Or cheaper shipping. I did buy like 16 books with Amazon Germany sale a week before blackfriday. They were from 2-5$. Totally blame my family and boyfriend. They won't give me books for my birthday the 17th of this month, so I bought them myself.

[@jessicaahlros6506]

There is a bookoutlet here in Sweden 🇸🇪 I personally don't think it is that cheap so haven't bought from it. Sorry late answer I'm alot behind on booktube 😭 don't know if they ship outside Sweden and all that but it does exist. Search bookoutlet Sweden and it should pop up.

[@fileanavailable]

Poison Study is sooo good! I love Maria V Synder’s books. 🤓

[@charityyoder9028]

I usually only read one non fiction a year and I'm proud if I manage that. I get picky about what I want to read when it comes to real life things.

[@srokachannel]

I love Chris Hadfield, astronaut's guide is excellent :) in terms of other non-fiction, have you read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch?

[@darkestwingz]

I love that you could hide behind the massive stack of books! lol Excellent haul! I didn't have a big book haul this month, but I did do a haul/unhaul video talking about them.

[@drumzyxox7907]

How do you mainly find out about new books coming out soon, like conveniently. Website to check or check specific authors on if they are releasing new books?

[@jessicabarrameda9342]

I highly recommend Yvonne Woon's Dead Beautiful. The story's quite amazing (for me), though it's underated.

[@DesignMHuff]

I’m a new subscriber, been trying to find more booktubers who read more adult subjects...I love nonfiction and read a lot of nonfiction, I love Mary Roach...I have a TBR list for nonfiction, but I generally love all genres, I jsut read whatever catches my interest.

[@czai_]

took me awhile to finish The Toll because it is thicc but all 600+ pages of it is so worth it! 💖

[@TheAceFireFox]

I need to read Touch of Power by Maria V Snyder. I read her Chronicles of Ixia series (Starting with Poison Study) and (Other than the last three) I recommend them. The Healer trilogy (Touch of Power being the first) has been on my tbr for years

[@sackmet]

I love reading non-fiction. I am currently reading about Mary, Queen of Scots.

[@beepboop9976]

My library has Vox and the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo on their ebook service and I keep meaning to borrow them but I never do 😭 I’ve also taken out a curse so dark and lonely and I need to get to it before it’s due back. I’ve asked for ninth house for Christmas and I’m really hoping I get it!!

[@AlyssLysie]

I tend to like the exact same nonfiction as you. I'm reading stiff right now. I need to check out her astronaut book.

[@Jessica-bt6rw]

IQ84 looks really intriguing to me. I might want to chalenge myself to read it next year.

[@chelsikay13]

I need to watch this Black Mirror. I really enjoyed The Test! I read Everyone is an Aliebn. It made me so so so sad. I spent a few days getting rid of this feeling of, hopelessness I guess? I thought it was going to be a super cute little alien story. I found it deeply depressing instead.😰

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You’ve never watched the tv show Black Mirror? Oh my prepare to be traumatized lol I always recommend to skip the first episode of the first season... it starts way too rough 😂

[@jennawar13]

BookswithEmilyFox haha yes! I started with season 3 and when I came to season 1 ep 1 I was a bit more desensitized/ totally on board with the show but still what a way to start the series 😳

[@iinaniloquent4000]

I get so excited everytime I see you have uploaded a video :D Love you Emily! so beautiful.

[@WhitneyChakara]

When I read the Poison Study series it was adult romance. Oh how the times have changed. 🤣

[@PetrikLeo]

I strongly recommend checking Ruin of Kings with lower expectation... That book is way too overhyped imo.

[@100sleeplessnights5]

I just added The Ruin of Kings to my tbr a few days ago :)

[@katxb1329]

My personal non-fiction favourite that I would recommend you : Smoke gets in your eyes -Caitlin Doughty (she is an amazing mortician with a youtube channel) if you have enjoy Stiff you should enjoy Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

[@Tee84]

Sylvain Neuvel à travaillé sur un livre de black mirror, j'imagine que ça l'a inspiré! :)

[@gladysdulay9634]

I didn’t like Vox ☹️ I think it would’ve been better as a YA book. Also! Idk if thrifting is your thing but that’s where I get 99% of my books because my Salvation Army sells 10 paperbacks for $1!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I definitely usually get most of my books used especially from my library that has monthly sales!

[@natcommon]

I read mostly fiction but do read some nonfiction. I’m actually reading 2 nonfiction books at the moment: The Library Book and Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? Recommend the audiobook for the second one. :)

[@Senidhr]

I'm from a scientific background so i love reading non fiction (because it's so muchhhh better than reading scientific pappers). Love seeing your hauls, gonna check one book or two.

[@Heather_Tarot]

If you like books where someone goes back in time and changes something that has a huge impact on the present I would highly recommend Making History by Stephen Fry.

[@Readingwithabawse]

I hope you enjoy a curse so dark and lonely!

[@ErmelindaCortes]

This book haul is great! Reminded me of so many books that are on my list that I have yet to pick up and read. Non fiction top books that I read and recommend this year "When breathe becomes air" by Paul Kalanithi, The Art of Mindful living" by Thich Nhat Hanh, "Women who run with wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, "Make your bed" by William H. McRaven "Becoming" by Michelle Obama and "A Higher Loyalty" by James Comey On fiction that I read and recommend are "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah, "Aurora rising" by co authors Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff, "Armada" by Ernest Cline, "They both die at the end" by Adam Silvera Read other stuff, but those were my winners for 2019. Happy Holidays, love your vlog!✌🏽💖

I’ve liked the ruin of the Kings it’s pretty good

[@bookswithtiffy_bibliophile]

Is snow globe Emily going to have something on for New Years?

[@BrittanyW2014]

I just bought the Toll!! Thank you so much for recommending this series. I don’t read a ton of YA or dystopian/ fantasy but I’ve been binging it! Do you have any other similar books or series you recommend?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Have you tried Skyward by Brandon Sanderson or His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman?

[@nicolekawa1265]

Just finished the Toll tonight. So good!!!

[@oatmeal4020]

OH NO! Not Vox! Bigges pile of steaming s..t I've ever read! My only 1 star this year. Science is just infuriatingly wrong...

[@bellamin4549]

Still waiting for my cyber Monday book outlet order. It got sent back in error so I’m going to live vicariously through this video 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Mine was 2 days late and arrived at like 9PM I was very confused lol

[@TBCaine]

I love BookOutlet sales! :D I totally splurged for the sale too

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Yes! I'm always impressed they have so many new books for so cheap!

[@FayroseH]

If you're looking for a book with a main character who ISN'T your usual "thinks she's dull but everyone loves her", I would highly recommend Dietland by Sarai Walker. I really loved this book - it isn't perfect but it is a fun ride. Here is my blog post about the book: bibliofay.home.blog/2019/07/29/dietland-by-sarai-walker/ And, yes, I know my blog isn't the greatest but meh! I try.

[@BookRoast]

Oh I read Stiff wayyyy back in the day and I never found anyone else here who did 😱 I already have The Test ready to go, I think it might be a mix of crazy + BREXIT haha so excited to read it. adding spook to the list. Are we the same person? 😂♥️

[@BookRoast]

Erm, just a heads up, Thunderbird was AMAZING, the ending was so great but I have no idea what happened to the Toll. It’s so disappointing I think I’ll have to just DNF it at 1/3. BUT maybe you’ll like it more! 🤞 x

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Maybe we are? 😂The Test was pretty intense, I didn't love the ending but the concept was... something haha I've heard mixed reviews so far but fingers crossed it works for me!

[@Marie45610]

We read Where the Red Fern Grows as a class when I was 3rd grade.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Damn your teacher must have really liked crying kids lol

[@songsd1205]

In my 5th grade class we had a choice between Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Book outlet is my weakness

[@alexandrac2472]

Imo Poison Study is a lot better than Touch of Power just FYI

[@librocubicularist3664]

Have you read Making History by Stephen Fry?

[@LyraValley]

I'm waiting for The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo from my library because it's so hyped but I'm also really nervous about it because it's not my kind of book at all so I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed.

[@seaoftigers]

Just was going through amazon for some books and your video came to recommend me some good books. Timing can't be any better. And i also have hodder's syndrom.

[@gabriellakemp2368]

Why does everyone hate Vox, I loved it. It's supposed to be hard to read and feel sexist and make you feel wierd, because it's supposed to make you think.

[@missburn]

Sometimes people can't tell the difference between when something is sexist and when it is actually dealing with sexism as a societal critique. It's weird because it should be obvious but it apparently isn't.

[@beccah7643]

If you enjoy "what if" stories, I'd recommend Stephen Kings 22.11.63 about the JFK assassination

[@bertfechner417]

That Everyones an Aliebn book is also a coloring book, or can be. Its encouraged.

[@luisavasconcelos1891]

Ruin of Kings had so much potential but the structure was overly complicated for absolutely no reason and no payoff. A lot of plotlines just got lost and had no resolution.

[@Amy-sk1es]

Dumplin' is bad too...
