a big book unhaul & festive reads✌🏻winter reading vlog

[@djunaskye6220]

Aw man, Room is a pretty good book! One of the first adult novels I've ever read. The movie is really good too. it's about a woman who's held captive in a room and abused for years by a man who kidnapped her when she was a teenager, and she has a 5 year old son, who she plans to have escape the room. The story is told from the little boy's perspective.

Yes, I was looking to see if anybody commented on this! It's not a dystopia. The film is really good as well.

Hello Emma's Grandmother from Australia. You must be so proud of Emma. She is such a beautiful soul. She has helped me get through these last two years, not only emotionally but also mentally. She has introduced me to so many wonderful books I've never heard of. Emma and also her lovely brother are just two treasured grandchildren.

[@CarrieBarrieintheDesert]

Emma, wanted to share, my darling mother is 75 and in the moderate stages of Alzheimer's dementia. She cannot live alone any longer and is confused a lot of the time. She knows she is losing her memory and that reality is very hard on her. We recently moved in with her to help her through and keep her at home as long as we can before she'll have to go into a memory care facility. She can't read on her own any longer, she forgets what she reads moments after she turns the page. I can read aloud to her, but only a few pages at a time or she loses the story again. The name of the game is keeping her present and distracted from her disease and your videos have been so helpful in that quest. They are one of the few things that keep her calm and happy. It's pretty much Anne Murray, Peter Paul and Mary, recordings of my dad's folk music, our dog ....and Emmie videos. Thank you for what you do, you bring so much joy in ways you may not even realize. Merry Christmas Emma.

[@lynncornelissen]

I gifted my sister “A castle in the clouds” for Christmas. I can’t wait for her to start it ❤️ thank you so much for a year of beautiful videos 😊 You’ve become a big source of comfort for me during these crazy times

Merry Christmas to everyone. Just finished watching the Polar Express and almost shed a tear. I get really emotional while watching these nostalgic animated films. Christmas brings out the child in me who still believes in Santa and waits for a gift which I would never receive

Merry Christmas Emma and to Emma's sweet Grandma! I imagine she is so much fun. ❄️🎄🎁 Does anyone else try to read real fast the pages of books Emma opens up? Just me?

I'm so glad that December was a good reading month for you! I'm really glad you enjoy making KZbin videos because your videos always make my day a little bit better :) I hope your Chirstmas celebration was a lot of fun, that you ate a lot of delicious food and spent just a wonderful time together. Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year and my favourite holiday, hands down. So besides enjoying Christmas myself, I 'm always very happy when I see other people enjoying it as well because I know a lot of people thing that the festive season is one of the most stressful times of the year! And hello Emma's Grandma! I think it's so lovely that you read the comments and support Emma so much. Please cuddle her for the rest of us. Happy holidays and if we don't see each other before New Year's Eve then I hope you have an incredible start into the new year.

I have been so occupied that I had not been able to leave any word since I first watched the video. Hello, Emma’s granny, Emma has inspired me to do ‘real’ readings since I first stumbled upon her vlog. Haven’t done as many as I would have wanted, but baby steps, baby steps…I have also joined a couple others which popped up when watching Emma. Never knew reading can be fun…

[@subtlefire7256]

The way you talk about Castle in the Clouds reminds me of another wintery German book called Frostfeuer (Frostfire) by Kai Meyer. They are probably two very different kinds of stories, but I think the way Castle in the Clouds makes you feel is the way Frostfeuer makes me feel. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas together!

The Room is excellent and it is not dystopian. It's excellent, one of my favourite books.

I'm catching up with Christmas vlogs and this was so nice to watch and see you unhauling books! Thanks for making motivational videos, which helps me to make more vlogs in the end. I can get pretty chaotic and perfectionist, which is why I can never stick to making them every week, especially with talking but watching yours and others kind of pushing me to just do whatever I want instead of overthinking how I'm going to make them! Belated Merry Christmas and hope you had an amazing Christmas with your loved ones!

Room is amazing. It is not dystopian (hope I wrote this correctly). It is about the mom that was kidnapped and she had the baby while she was locked in a 'room', and the child knows only about that room. It is basically about how we relate and learn based on our surroundings. Why all your videos make me wanna go and read? Love em! Happy holidays! (Hi to your Grammy!)

"Room" is not dystopian, but an abuse survival story. The mother was kidnapped as a teenager and is held captive in a shed (single room), where she gave birth to a son. The manage to escape and it's their story about their new life. (I admit I saw the movie, not read the book; the movie was pretty good)

[@ho-ry5uf]

I was pretty surprised when she said she had no interest in reading it, ngl. Throwing a way a book without even checking it on goodreads or like googling it seems a bit sad to me tbh 😅

[@lor3605]

Hi Emmie - there is a reason to hang on to that first version of Leaves of Grass, unless you’re really really short on space - Whitman definitely wanted the final edition to be the one people remembered him by, but an accident of publishing brought the 1855 edition back out in the mid-twentieth century, and it was event that completely revitalized Whitman’s reputation & especially influenced the younger generation of poets in America and Britain. I think there were enough differences in the actual poems as they’d originally been published, that poets in their twenties were much more energized by them. The deathbed edition was a contemplative look back; the first edition a call to awaken. So that 1855 version is in some ways a totally different book, and one writers in the 1950s thought of as the one written for them.
