October Wrap Up 2016 | Books I've Read This Month!

[@P_ismyname]

You are my favorite booktuber/youtuber. You're so down to earth and sweet. Congrats on reading that many books haha

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Aw thank you!! :)

[@natasama1069]

Crystal Fab Do you have another booktuber? I love Emily's book video and I want to find another booktuber 😊

[@P_ismyname]

Natasa Ma Of course! abookutopia, gowithflick, benjaminoftomes, emmmabooks, readbyzoe, kingbooks, thebookhoarder, jessethereader, and many more :D

[@natasama1069]

Thank you so much! Now I can enjoy on youtube 😊❤

[@lindsayfabian]

'you' was one of my favourite books of last year, literally just picked up the second book yesterday, i've heard a lot of people say they didn't like it as much but i just love reading from joe's point of view so even if the story ends up being a flop it will at least be a good laugh i find him so sarcastic and funny

[@rimakurniadewi140]

I would love to see you make a video about books vs movies! That could be so fun 💞

[@AlexERzHz]

I totally understand what you mean about re-reading Harry Potter in english... I used to read for fun just in Spanish until the beginning of this year when I started buying books in English (they're cheaper and I can find more titles) but they dont feel as personal as they did in Spanish. Hopefully that will change the more books I read. Its only November but I cant wait to see your 2O16 favorite reads. 🙌🏼

[@teresaprado8115]

Emily, you're literally beauty and brains! Love this second channel! :)

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

I read Harry Potter for the first time this year. I'm reading them in French first as it's not my native language, then in English just to make sure I understand everything perfectly lol. I hope I'm not missing out on too much of the wordplay in French, as my vocabulary is obviously more limited. I'll be starting Philosopher's Stone in English soon so I'll see if I notice any differences! P.S. Em, I watched your beauty channel for ages but had to unsubscribe a couple months ago during a huge beauty unfollow, as seeing so many reviews and products online made me constantly want to buy makeup (you especially seemed to always review EXACTLY the products I was interested in which was great for my beauty knowledge but bad for my bank account lol). I was so sad to go because your channel was one of my absolute favourites, your reviews were so honest and thorough. I just randomly came across this channel and I'm so excited to be watching you again, and reading is the habit I'm always happy to have people encourage so I won't be leaving any time soon! One day when I master self-control I'll resubscribe to the beauty channel ;). Tu m'as manqué!

[@maggieandbooks9280]

I want to read The Girl On The Train and A Monster Calls, I didn't get to them in October because of midterms. I love both of your channels and you inspired me to start my own! Thank you

[@KristiBarreto]

"Thirteen reasons why" was so good to me! I read it recently too!

[@pearlbeauty5219]

it's so refreshing to see a beauty guru who's a bit of a geek❤

[@vr00mie87]

I need that lipstick!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

KVD Exorcism! It's from the video I just posted on my beauty channel :D

[@vr00mie87]

LifewithEmilyFox yessssss! watching now!

[@Carinee17]

I love that you read all these creepy and weird books this month. Very inspirational!

[@Amanda-dn4ld]

I'm so happy you have a book channel!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Me too :)

[@dittek.6513]

I really recommend dark matter by Blake Crouch as well. Just be careful if you buy it on your kindle. The price jumped from 10 to 16 dollars from when I clicked buy till I received the invoice from Amazon!

[@leighannposey3716]

I've read dark places three times now lol sharp objects is super good too!

[@custodiosantana5760]

Leighann Posey

[@SharonVictoria90]

I read A Monster Calls last month as well!! I also cried, it was just so painfaul and beautiful and it just got to me.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I don't cry easily but it definitely got to me!

[@ZakiyaDeliefde]

Dark places is totally my favourite thriller

[@Diannime]

I am so glad I found you. This is my first video I've watched of yours. And I must say that your reading choices are similar to mine. I just finished Dark Matter and LOVED it. And I am currently reading Annihilation. Really looking forward to reading When A Monster Calls.

[@ohanleyjk]

Omg I wept when I read 13 Reasons Why years and years ago. Currently reading The Girl on the Train and I'm loving it! You're my inspiration to get back into reading since wrapping up my undergrad this summer! If you can read this much I can totally read at least something. ❤️ from Ottawa!

[@iamkeroeni]

Good to hear you enjoy Vicious. Love that too. Now you make me want to read Dark Matter.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

[@Nezzle]

I read Dark Matter in October as well and I loooooved it. I'm yet to read a V. E. Schwab book but you love her so much that I'm excited to check her out. I read bird box but I didn't really find it that scary. I enjoyed it a lot though. I tried reading 'You' but I didn't finish it. Wasn't enjoying it. And of course we know I absolutely loved A Monster Calls. Great wrap up. I always love your videos and looooove the makeup look :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

SPOILERS for bird box**** I was definitely nervous when there was the man on the river and the idea that the guy could see her and that he was so unstable even if he didn't kill himself after seeing "them". Also the details at the end about how people used to get their eyes removed... wow...

[@Nezzle]

LifewithEmilyFox yeah I'll admit that part increased my heartbeat a bit. I was like who on earth is this crazy man and what's he going to do?!?! It leaves you hanging too because we still don't know what the creatures are. Like where do they come from?

[@tristenalexismakeup295]

Just ordered "You". Excited to read it!

[@custodiosantana5760]

TristenAlexis Makeup

[@maddielc204]

Jeez I read like one book last month...but then I have 2 jobs and I'm going to school so maybe I have an excuse...how do you read all these while doing youtube, school, and your job?! I'm amazed.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

1 book is great! More than most people :)

[@TheKeepersoftheBooks]

You may try audiobooks, it helps for those are busy. Many local libraries have eaudioboiks for putting on your device directly.

[@TheKeepersoftheBooks]

But it more matters that you're reading :) 1 is awesome

[@daynalousiepotton4923]

Definitely found book that my mum would love this month Christmas is just around the corner so i hope she will find the time to read the books im going to get her (and read after her)

[@TheKeepersoftheBooks]

Love Dark Matter, that was one of my favorites this month as well.

[@roos4846]

I've just discovered your videos and you've got a new subscriber! Many booktubers don't read thrillers and I'm happy you do, I love the recommendations. Another reminder to read more thrillers.

[@aubriellat6321]

Those earrings are so adorable. They look amazing on you. I was looking forward to all these reviews, lots of books I'll be picking up based on your opinions. Thank you

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you! :)

[@torigross7081]

The girl on the train was really good! I was thrown off on who the killer was for a while it was awesome and you look stunning!

[@Amira-rv8xd]

i always look forward to your videos 💗💗💗💗

[@GabyGabsBooks16]

Wow 12 books, that's awesome :D Most months I can barely get through 4 or 5. I felt the same way when I was reading You.. At some points, I really felt sorry for him; there was definitely no one to root for in this book. Every character had something up their sleeve. You read so many great books; I really want to pick up Vicious and A Monster Calls :)

[@123vicer]

I was so surprised to hear that your first language was french! Your english and your accent is amazing!

[@emilou101]

Loved Dark Matter too! Definitely 5 star material! PS: you're hair looks gorgeous in this video!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you! I'm glad you loved it too!

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

only read two books last month fantastic beast and frankinstain but I have read 11 books in 2016 so far

[@-ParisTexas-]

Only now, after watching your november beauty favorites I found out that you also have a bookchannel. :) Curious to see what you read.

[@menollyhollabaugh5549]

I read A Monster Calls this month too and really loved it! I found parts of Ocean At the End of the Lane interesting, but overall it wasn't my favorite. I just started More Than This and can't wait to really get into it! :)

[@Ebichuchu]

The end of "The Kind Worth Killing" is SO GOOD i was so shocked and i had to explain the whole story to my boyfriend in the hope someone would understand how i felt about it haha

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I thought it would be an average thriller but was shocked at the end of part one... then now at the end of part 2... can't wait to see how it ends!

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

I can't remember if in one of your million book haul videos, if you got the thousandth floor!? I recommend it. I just started it today. I've only seen it on KZbin maybe two or three times but so far I'm loving it. I'm new to YA and book tube. Since book tube seems to be a ton of YA, I started buying tons of books and like you, haven't read most of them. Trying!!!! I did read the 13 reasons why. This is going to sound awful bc it's a sad, real, and tough topic, but at age 37,i couldn't help but feel like there was a lot of whining. High scope was hard, no doubt but.... I don't know. Maybe I'm too old for some of them? I'm the one who also didn't like at the end of the ocean. And never read all of the books im most excited about so when I finished the 2nd series of unfortunate events today, I started the thousandth floor and it is one ive been dying to read so here's to reading all of the ones I anticipate!!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

See there's no way of talking about it without sounding mean but that's why I removed a star. I overall enjoyed it but I did feel like the girl was ... idk she made it worse for herself and kinda went too far fort what it was... (outch I sound like a bitch lol) I don't have it but I've heard about it! So many books on book tube.. one day haha :)

[@ziziari8045]

I absolutely loved Dark Matter!!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love that lipstick on you! I want to read Bird Box so bad, I've heard it's insanely creepy!

[@hihowyadoin3433]

Love your reviews and your earrings lol so random. Was it purposeful to have two different colours on your nails?? Youve gotten me back into reading so thank you!!! xo

[@nummy_nummers]

More Than This has gone straight onto my TBR! Also, I have Annihilation and am preparing myself to be bemused by it 😆

[@gabrielabarcelos8970]

Emily why don't you do a video of your favorite books now vs. when you were a child/ teenager? Thank you! Big hug from Brazil!!

[@Mari-Yama]

I absolutely love Annihilation! So far, it's my favorite book of the year. For me, it all made sense, it didn't leave me guessing too much. Spoiler** In my opinion, I think the main point of this series is the not knowing and trying to understand the unknown. I think it was Stephen Hawking (or was it Neil?) that brought up the idea that if a being is able to interstellar travel to our planet, that said being would be so far advanced than we are that it would be like ants trying to figure out what humans are. Would we even know if we are being invaded? What could an invasion by these far superior beings look like to us? I think this is the idea that the author is trying to express in this series.

[@mariongnd]

I don't like The Ocean at the End of the Lane either. I have read of couple of Neil Gaiman and I don't find them as great as people seem to think they are. J'ai trouvé ta chaîne BookTube par hasard dans la barre de suggestion alors que je regardais une autre vidéo, et je dois dire que j'aime beaucoup regarder tes vidéos. Tu sembles lire dans tous les genres et dans toutes les tranches d'âge (adult / YA), et je trouve ça intéressant. And I always have major make-up envy over your lipstick choices!

[@jazzey19921]

I searched the next book after The Archive by Schwab and it's The unbound and it was released 2015, well that's what I've read on Wikipedia 😊

[@justbelievelt21]

Hey Emily! Can you put the book titles and authors in the description box.. just for easier access 🙂

[@evecariad]

I uploaded my first book related video today because I just enjoy and love your book videos so much!

[@chataboutchapters557]

I find it interesting that you didn't like Neil Gaiman. I have many books of his on my TBR on Goodreads but i seem to be the only person on earth who didn't really care for The Graveyard Book so I'm nervous to get into the others

[@animalcrackers8880]

Oddly, I was just thinking of Ocean at the End of the Lane literally a second before you mentioned. haha Weird. I've had it for a while but never got around to reading it. Interested to see if I'll like it.

[@Nadia_Guadalupe]

You should've gotten the UK edition of Dark Matter because it has red pages!! ♡

[@LivOT]

OmG you are a beauty guru, speak french and a booklover. I love you I totally love you!! that is amazing. i love your videos. You are awesome in every way.

[@milliedrew4613]

Love your accent! Subscribed!

[@kellyr3179]

I plan to read A Monster Calls. Maybe I'll order it for Black Friday. There is a movie coming up. Are you planning to see it?

[@ReadEatGameRepeat]

you might enjoy Stardust by Neil Gaiman - its more of a fantasy book - I haven't read his other books but I really enjoyed it, its probably in my Top 20 books of all time :)

[@ayyelou2]

Dear Emily, Loved your video. I see you have Cassandra Clare's books on your wall behind you. Do you have a favorite fantasy series video? I would love that!

[@gotshakespeare83]

Love the nail polish (right hand) lipstick match! Also where did you get those earrings? Gorgeous!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I was wondering if anyone would notice the nail polishes :P Garage Clothing!

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

LifewithEmilyFox I did!!!!! 😍

[@kailathomas3253]

I've read the first 2 books in the Southern Reach trilogy and then I had to stop. The first one is way better than the second one, which is called Authority. We do get some answers about what happened in the first one and some hints about what exactly is going on in Area X, but Authority was SO. BORING. It's like twice as long as Annihilation and is just so dry and blah. At least in my opinion. I do have the last one, Acceptance, but I haven't read it, even though Authority left off on quite the cliffhanger. In my opinion if you did not like Annihilation I would definitely not continue because Authority is way worse.

[@charlottedelart7684]

Can you do book reviews? Like tell us what you thought about one book in a video maybe one that made an impression on you? :)

[@josefinadiaz3269]

How do you read so many books? It's awesome! I'm glad you had an excellent reading month

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I read pretty fast and I read daily - consistency is key! :)

[@cassandrahillegass7954]

Sorry to hear you did not like The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Have you read his book Neverwhere? It is my favorite book. I cried, seriously cried during the last 1/4 of A Monster Calls.

[@asthenamesuggests9513]

Omg this is fantastic! I feel so sorry but I only know you for beauty related videos. And I only found out that you love books. Omg I feel so ignorant right now. Emily I'm officially in love with you 💕💕💕

[@LinstantEclosion]

That's funny, I really did not like The Girl on the train :( At the middle of it I got so bored I put it down and stoped reading it for a while. Eventually i finished it and I was not impressed by the end, even though it was way better than the rest of the book, a little rushed in my opinion but that's me being picky :p On another note, I would love it if you could give some advice on getting to read in english ! I'm french and I find it quite hard to understand everything when reading an english book. How did you do when you started ? What first books in english would you recommend to get used to it ? Thank you Emily ! Plein de bisous ma belle ! ;)

[@natasama1069]

HelloCocoon I'm not native English speaker ether, but when I started to read on English it was hard. If you don't know one or two word, try to connect then with the rest of a sentence, and I also wrote in one notebook all word I don't understand and find them in dictionary. I wish you good luck with reading😊❤

[@LinstantEclosion]

Natasa Ma Thank you so much Natasa :)

[@katedim123]

My advise in starting with books in english is reading something you're already familiar with. Choose one of your favorite books and, as you get used to reading, expand. Also, dictionaries while reading are very useful!

[@gotshakespeare83]

Is a Monster Calls actually a paranormal book? The cover and title make me think it is which is why I haven't picked it up. You read so many books in a month. How do you do it plus work, school, and 2 youtube channels? Maybe a video???

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

No it's more like magical realism! Honestly there's no secrets - I read on the bus and before bed, I go to school and work part time, film and edit at night or during weekends... lots of organization and a bit of a weekly mental breakdown lol

[@gotshakespeare83]

That makes sense. I need to work on my TV/KZbin addiction and organize my time. I need to use audiobooks more in the car and work. Completely understand the mental breakdown hahaha

[@karlarivera1514]

you are french ? omg cool !!!! im from puerto rico

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm French Canadian! I surprisingly get that a lot haha :)

[@JennV-B]

I read Dark Places a couple of years ago right after I read Gone Girl and I wasn't too sure how I felt about it. She has a very specific type of writing that reading one book after the other probably wasn't the best. She loves to put twists in her books that's for sure lol. It was good but not something I'd highly recommend and for some reason I remember feeling drained sometimes when I'd read it if that makes sense. It was a long time ago so I can't remember it that crystal clear... I do know I liked Gone Girl better though. I've been wanting to read Thirteen Reasons Why for awhile now but I feel like I need to be in the right frame of mind since it deals with suicide. Is it really heavy in your opinion?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

She definitely knows how to write dark books! To be honest although it is about suicide and it does make you feel a lot... since it's so fast past and almost a bit of a thriller it's not "that heavy" if that makes sense!

[@JennV-B]

LifewithEmilyFox I saw it on Book Outlet the other day so I'll purchase it with my next order! I'm so happy you told me about that site!

[@akdmocenar7390]

You are awesome! I'm sure you're a very busy person so how do find time to read as much books?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I read in the bus and before bed! Consistency is key :)

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

A Ocenar people must have more time than me or read faster because I can't read nearly as fast as everyone on book tube... But i work 45 hrs a week and just started grad school so.... Ya... 😂

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

I am reading Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix

[@lotuseatr]

those new harry potter covers are gorgeous!! i hate the american covers :(

[@booksaml7892]

wow I barely finished 5 books and some on audiobooks . I only read one book that was more hallowenish

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

That's great!

[@kokochen5754]

i didnt really like Vicious which i also read this month it was okay but i definitely preferred This Savage Song

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I need to read that one! :)

[@natasama1069]

Ah, I am a book lover, but in last 2 months school was killing me and I had no time to read- I feel like I disappointed my inner me because of it...

[@rian6858]

redeem Neil gaiman with 'stardust',!!.. the movie did it no justice. Or for a good laugh (English humor) try 'good omens' its coauthored by Terry pratchet and I love it. I didn't care for 13 reasons why. I thought the main character was a brat and evil and wasn't into the big pity party. just not for me i guess

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

That's kinda why I removed one star :S

[@aryamlanderos6374]

Omg you look so beautiful in this video

[@Pluscelamemechose]

Do you do book reviews?

[@jessicamitchell9029]

I hated Annihlation. I had to DNF book 2 It made NO sense to me at all. It was far too bizarre for my tastes.

[@Ivonnep24]

I'm currently reading YOU. It's soooo creepy lol

[@GothGoneWrong]

Out of interest - do you enjoy Neil Gaiman's other work?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I haven't read anything else yet but I'll definitely try some more!

[@GothGoneWrong]

I hope you find something you enjoy more!I started with his children's books, Coraline and The Graveyard Book, and really enjoyed him.

[@novad6489]

12 books in a month? What type of witchcraft is this? lol
