I really liked the "read with me" clip, it was nice and chill. I wouldn't mind getting more of them in the future.

[@rachitgupta1819]

Yes I loved them too!! We would like more of these in future videos 🥰

[@manaoiana9931]

Same 💯

[@emma-q3f]

i love how emma always supports carolyn and her etsay shop . we love a supportive bestie !!!

[@jasminemae1757]

Taking that moment to read with you was very healing for my soul. Thank you for this segment of calmness and cosiness ❤️

[@emmiereads]

:') love that - what are you reading?

[@jasminemae1757]

​@@emmiereads Han Kang's very heart-stopping "The White Book," it's accompanied by a scattering of beautiful photographs in black & white (i think from a Korean film??), capturing transience & ritual, & it adds so much symmetry to her writing. Wishing you a beautiful Christmas and new year 💕

[@thaliafernandez1378]

I would love for the read with me clip to be a separate video of maybe 30 minutes o more. I think it’s better if it’s separate so I can dedicate the time to read ☺️🩵

[@emmiereads]

will do!!

[@MsGloomyLamp]

I would really love a 30 min or so 'read with me' video from you, I love having cosy videos on the background while reading, but having a reading buddy is so much better! And from the other comments, it seems that many of us loved it 🤩 Also, I'm a dog person, and though I adore Cal and Grendel, seeing Eevee always makes me sooooo happy!!! What a cutie!

[@mandyxu7095]

I have been following with your reading vlog for a couple of years, I am a mother who lives in another hemisphere. Although I didn't have much time to read, but I used to listen your reading vlog while doing my chores at home. Next year, I will re-set my reading goal. Thank you for providing more good books to us. Happy New Year.

[@WilsonHillWorks]

No one else has said anything about this yet but the light totally flickered off and back on 😬

[@haruka.h560]

I was about to comment 😶😶

[@emmiereads]

join us next time for an episode of ghosthunters

[@theapenning8944]

I really like the little read with me segment. I haven't seen it in anyones vlog before (just separate videos) and it got me to just pick up my book for a few minutes instead of procrastinating by watching your video 😂

[@rachitgupta1819]

I'm reading Castle in the Clouds because of you, and I'm enjoying it so much 🤌🏻 The chemistry between all the characters is so good and well written. I so wanna spend my holidays in that hotel😂 Also same pinch emma even I love hotels so much!!

[@emmiereads]

That would be the dream to stay there for the holidays :’) I’m just about to start it in the next couple of days!! So glad you’re enjoying your stay 🥹

[@Maddie-Amaesing]

I'm reading Castle in the Clouds for the same reason. It's such a nice read for this time of year

[@ЕкатеринаСидоренко-ж8ч]

Hi Emma! I wanna thank you for all of your videos, cause they feel like my safe space. I had a tough week at my job, so this vlog is making me feel a little bit happier ❤️

[@picketfenced5771]

My birthday is on the winter solstice 12/21!! I’m watching this as I get ready. I woke up to snow outside. It’s gonna be a good day 🩵🩵

Just spent all day running errands in the cold. Watching this with hot soup is everything I could have asked for

[@Kyle4k9]

Hi Emma, Happy Solstice tomorrow! Bon hiver. That reminds me: I was in a metaphysical fiction class once and the prof asked us to (optionally) share our religion. I said Druid. Without missing a heartbeat, the prof said, "local coven or back home?" You can't surprise a guy with tenure. LOL.

[@fantasybibliophiles]

Happy Solstice❄️ That class sounds like something I’d really enjoy. I’ve never met a Druid (that I know of). Hope you did some satisfying writing in the class. This comment brought a smile to my face. 😊

[@hyemiyah]

there's something so nostalgic about seeing you in your parents' house u.u

[@ayathamer5271]

I needed a break from studying and there were two potions you or my book and I became so happy when i did the two things together Thank you again and again

[@sootsookie]

So so cosy, I loved the read with me too. I hope you had the loveliest Christmas Emma! 💝

[@sofiaborges3853]

Such a cozy video🥰! Yes yes yes to more read with me sections in videos!! I was procrastinating reading and that’s why I started watching the video 😅 but because of the clip I got through 1 chapter of the Night Circus which has been such an amazing vibey read!!

[@nikkivenable73]

Winter is my favorite season so your channel this time of year, especially, is my favorite. Your seasonal recs are my most anticipated videos of yours, as well.

[@CaffeintedZainab-]

I personally loved the little "read with me" break!!!!

[@anki1230p]

Please make a 2hr read with me clip and bg music because i have to replay it multiple times otherwise. I live alone and it is nice to work or do the dishes while someone is reading haha. Live reading sessions are also appreciated.

[@biyaskarmakar6363]

Hey you definitely should do long "read with me" videos, it was so fun❤

[@ninja_boy]

I'm sick with the flu (right before Christmas 😔) but this cozy vlog is exactly the thing I want to watch on a day when I'm at home in bed all day.

[@MemphisJones]

I really enjoyed the read with me break. This allows us to catch up with you, and further our physical TBR.

[@haruka.h560]

I'm enjoying your reading vlogs very much this month, I also liked the "read with me" section. Thank you so much for making this video ❤ Spend cozy holidays 🥰

[@elisabethprice4697]

Yes every booktuber should have sections in there vlogs with music and them reading where us as viewers can join in I love it!!!

[@chandrareaux6700]

I absolutely loved the read with me!!! Thanks for a great cozy video.

[@milaces1323]

I live for this cosy vlogs omg!!!! I hope you have wonderful holidays with all your loved ones ❤️🎄✨️

[@circleofleaves2676]

The music playing at 10:50 will always remind me of you sobbing over reading Even If This Love Disappears Tonight when Carolyn was visiting 😪

[@fountain_writes]

Happy holidays, and happy winter! This was a lovely vlog, and I loved the read with me inclusion. It's like a little invitation to pause and breathe and reset. Thank you for this

[@Lunamarie2]

I really liked the read with me part!!! I'm reading Solaris right now

[@debrahhuggins2572]

[@zainab264__]

Watching your videos is one of my favorite parts of the day

[@flaviadn]

Your vlogs at your parents house are always the coziest. ❤ I love the read with me clip. It's very nice to have it in a vlog, but I think I would also enjoy them in a separate video. Do whatever makes you happier. ❤

The dagger and the flame sounds so good to me 🥹

[@moseinsocks238]

Ooooo, do more of this! Reading "together" is cozy!

[@ninaharuki]

The read with me clip made me immediately pick up my book and read about 2,5 pages❤ I'd love to see more of it, maybe in a separate video like an hour read with me? much love for you and happy holidays❤🎁

[@isobelledger]

I loved the read with me section. I had Ember and the Ice Dragons next to me cause I was gonna start it next, and now I have officially started it :D loved the cozy-ness of this video

[@jeannareadsbooks8475]

Have you ever read The Glass Hotel by Emily St John Mandel? As the name suggests, a significant chunk of it is set in a remote snowy hotel in Canada accessible only by a once a day ferry, so all of the staff live in the hotel as well as working there

[@serene_reads]

I truly loved the read with me part, do it more please 💕🥺

[@miraintheforest]

This is the first time my notifications failed me and I just happened to check KZbin for an Emma video!!! Ahhhh❤

[@nikolaiquack8548]

Dear Emma, I did read with you. I read the entry in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, marked for the 21st of December. I'm currently rereading it for the third time. This time I'm reading it on each date, corresponding to Charlie's letters. Thank you for giving me the perfect cozy atmosphere to read it in. I've decided to write this comment in the style of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, as you can probably tell. Love Always, Nikolai

[@er7088]

The read with me section was very soothing. Thank you for the video and it was so fun seeing you read some horror :)

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

loved it so much Emma and the read with me will make me come back again with a book to listen to that music and read along x

[@JosephineLemonade]

A week into December I decided I wanted to read the entire Iliad (Emily Wilson translation) AND finish every single prompt of the Buzzwordathon before the end of the month. Then today I went to see the Muppets Christmas Carol in the theatre and decided to start rereading A Christmas Carol beforehand. So now I'm in the middle of about 6 books and feeling very excited but overwhelmed 😅 I'm planning to spend this entire weekend reading so hopefully this vlog will give me some extra motivation!

[@JosephineLemonade]

Also yes, absolutely would love more read with me moments!

I have a book recommendation I think you will love ( it was recommended to me because I also liked Sipsworth )the book is “ How the Penguins Saved Veronica “ by Hazel Prior I listened to it on audio ( audible ) and it was so good I had to get the physical copies ; you will like it too I think ; the writing is beautiful and entertaining and it’s lighthearted but so engaging too ( taking place in Antarctica ! ) ( I don’t see a lot of people talk about it but it’s so good ) happy new year love your book recommendations so I wanted to share with you

Unfortunately I didn't have my book with me to read along. But I would really enjoy longer videos to read along with you in the future. In the meantime I'll read to this one when I rewatch it. Enjoy the cold this week and hopefully some snow by Christmas. ❄☃️❄

Opera looks great. I can't believe one of the songs you pulled was Yeti! Just booked to see Paris Paloma today 🎉. I'm inspired to give Taaqtumi a go. Cold Skin by Albert Sanchez Pinol is worth a look if you fancy an Antarctic scare.

If you like sci-fi scary stories in the cold places you have to watch The Thing from John Carpenter!

I have several questions: 1) How many pages do you? 2) Do you read multiple books at once? If so, can you give advice how you handle it? 3) How do you choose which books you want to read?
