bookshelf organization, june tbr + dark academia🕰 // READING VLOG

Greetings! I've finally gotten another few days stitched together and whose sleepy semi-summertime hours are made up of an unearthed cello, more Murakami magic, a cute lil toad, a new dark academic book that I've started for #thedabookclub, muffins, mangoes, and my #MakeYourMythTaker Readathon! These past few days have been full of heat, sunshine, nights spent reading Murakami's After Dark after dark with the book's jazzy soundtrack floating through my windows, and trying not to be so much surprised, as prepared for what 2020 has cooking up in its kitchen of doom for us - for example a literal bear showing up in my town???? Yep. I hope you're all doing well - thank you so much for your kind messages, insightful comments and recommendations, and just being who you are, whoever that happens to be right now. Lots of love xx

i feel like everything becomes poetry when you read it

[@betul6350]

for some reason finding out you play the cello isn’t surprising at all, it fits in perfectly! like you were a musical wood faerie in another life.. and i love seeing your dog mirror you during your yoga sessions, truly a soul mate animal.. i hope you’re all having a lovely week, this was so peaceful, thank you 💛

[@AntoniasVideoJournal]

this is so cottagecore i’m not sure my little heart can take it 🧚🏼‍♀️🧡💐

[@thirdonetoo1212]

That was so enjoyable. I think your parents must be truly lovely people because they raised such a treasure. “Congratulations and well done” from an old granny who also has a deep friendship with books.

[@bronteide6052]

The piece where you're lying with a dog is so cute 💛🐕 Also please please please take a video of you playing the cello!!

[@sisipi9578]

i just found your channel yesterday, and i've been binging on your videos! i love your voice and the atmosphere, and your pure love for books and for the small things really shines through :) also, though the university system in my country is a bit different, i'm also studying english and classical studies (though it's aimed at both english and latin literature and language). anyway, thanks for being such a lovely presence online & i hope you're doing well!

[@LibrarianofParis]

This was such a beautiful vlog! Loved seeing all your old childhood books, it’s always fun to go back to your childhood bedroom and see what you used to love to read!

[@juandbooks]

coming home from work and having a new video from you to watch: AMAZING

[@emmiereads]

[@mymessynotebook2207]

My heart melted at the little frog :) loved the video as always!

[@arlena3297]

Thank you always for the quotes you provide at the end of your vlogs. They have given me so much inspiration and I ordered many a poetry collection because of them 😄❤️

[@laconscozynook]

So calming I love it! Especially that bunny footage so adorable!!!

[@grac3-through-faith]

I love your videos so much, you’ve become my favourite KZbin 🥰🥰🥰

[@joaomarcelo__]

You can feel the happiness through this video...

[@raisaharunur3685]

Your videos make my heart so happy!💛

[@emmiereads]

that makes my heart equally happy

[@luc-huguesgenna5843]

I'm deathly afraid of frogs and each time they pop up I kind of go into shock. Trying to catch my breath now, it's so unpleasant

[@manu_so]

I just found your channel and Im in love with your videos... exacly what I was looking for

[@marykaexconde2736]

just what i needed, your videos are always calming 🤍

[@emmiereads]

[@khushikumar4740]

[@emmiereads]

[@claricecc.33]

Oh my gosh, the Magic Tree House books were my absolute FAVORITE! I remember loving the book set in Pompéi 🥺🤎🤎🤎

[@emmiereads]

YES

[@kleatexas4739]

I am actually rereading the Magic Treehouse series!!😃😃

[@user-ft9ey7cm8s]

Yes! Ninth house reading vlog please ❤️ my copy just arrived today!

[@emmiereads]

awe can't wait to hear your thoughts!!

[@murielllee]

I never got to tell you because I missed the live show (for a dumb reason), but The Silence of the Girls became a favorite. I LOVED it🥺 ACOMAF💀😖🤡 In every vlog, I think, “Emma couldn’t possibly have more animals to show us in her vlogs”. You keep proving me wrong😂 I’m an assassin too as I’ve told you hehe. My friend’s choice was All the Bright Places (hated it, garbage, ⭐️), dark cover is Ninth House (for the bookclub), secret read🤭, and Broken Wings for the quickread😋

[@wrighty321go]

I'm hoping to take part in the Make your myth taker readathon at the end of the month when I've finished my coursework for university, I'm going to do the Pirate path. When you were tuning your cello to start with it made me wince as it was so out of tune. If you find that screens are really affecting your concussion maybe try an antiglare filter for you screen, I get really bad migraines so it isn't the same but screens are a really big trigger for me and I've found that it helps. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Ninth House.

[@abigailauyeung8343]

Sarah J. Maas' books were originally YA (Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, The Assassin's Blade, Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms, Tower of Dawn, Kingdom of Ash, A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and A Court of Frost and Starlight) but her newer books (House of Earth and Blood and the book being released in 2021, A Court of Silver Flames) and she has been edging towards adult for a while. Also * emmie *, you do know that ACOMAF is the second book, right?

[@GothicGhost17]

I’m a Viking for the myth taker readathon, but eventually the rogue life calls to me and I join up with a band of pirates 😉 I’m reading Snow Falling on Cedars, The Things They Carried, Strange the Dreamer, and Phantom of the Opera! 💗

[@emmiereads]

YOU'RE READING PHANTOM?? let me know how you like it when you're done!!

[@GothicGhost17]

* e m m i e * I absolutely will!

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

Lovely vlog. :) I really enjoyed this. I am currently about half way through Ninth House. I am reading it as the dark book for the Assassin path of the MythTaker readathon. :) City of Girls is on my list as well, I really wanna get the audiobook.

[@malissamoench8587]

Have you ever played the bass flute? 😍 It is so deep and dreamy. I also play the flute and piccolo 😊

[@Mary-Contrary]

[@emmiereads]

[@richan.5987]

[@cookiejar.mp3]

I'm an oracle for the myth taker readathon! currently on my 2nd read (Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab) and then on to reading the library of the unwritten and lovely war!

[@emmiereads]

Ah I have A Gathering of Shadows on hold right now, so excited to continue the series - hope you love the last one!! and AHHH LOVELY WAR

[@cookiejar.mp3]

@@emmiereads aaah I hope you enjoy a gathering of shadows!!

[@Ktaylor3694]

SJMs books are labeled as YA and are put in the YA section. They really shouldn’t be though. The books are New Adult in my opinion.

[@laxburgare]

how did your friend make those earrings? they're soo cute! does she have an etsy shop/youtube channel?

[@katherinev2679]

Pretty sure Emma in the Night isn't YA contemporary, its an adult thriller.

[@emmiereads]

whoops, you are so right!

[@bernettawilson2222]

What happend with Michael Scott?

[@vaddikishorereddy4090]

U have sweet voice

[@milliebks]

I saw that you are interested in learning more about different religions. You should look into Messianic Judism. I think you would find it interesting.

[@milliebks]

@@joannaszulc1496 It's more of a cross between born again Christianity and Judaism.☺️❤️
