The Hermione impression made my day 10 times better.😂

Am I happy? Gonna watch Emmie; am I sad? Gonna watch Emmie. No other youtube channel or tv show has this power over me. I'm glad Emmie exists, I truly am.

[@ppphanon]

OMG I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN U DID THE HERMIONE IMPRESSION. You looked just like her at that moment

[@iihdel7741]

How can a video make you utterly relaxed and warm 🥹🤎✨?

[@emmiereads]

[@efluvial]

Thanks for the update from you and Calcifer! He is quite vocal in this one!

[@Tania.atlasinajar]

I literally STOPPED watching Wednesday on Netflix when I got your notification! ♥️🥰 So sorry you missed the Nutcracker 😱🥺 But happy you are feeling better!

[@emmiereads]

I feel honoured haha

[@khalilahd.]

Hahaha love this 😂❤

[@bad-girlbex3791]

Oh my god, that voice & visual of Hermione was so spot on!

[@abbysands9510]

As a Brit for the longest time, I had no idea what bangs were until about two years when I started learning the differences in words between British and American English. We call them "Fringe" not "Bangs" in the UK. Your British accent was good; for a second, I thought I was listening to Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.

[@khalilahd.]

I also love the chestnut praline latte!! It’s honestly the only thing I like from Starbucks during the holiday season. So happy you’re starting to get your taste back ❤

[@JamanMosil]

I was listening to this while I worked away on other things when all of a sudden I heard Hermione's voice and was very confused. Beautiful impression. Also due to this and last vlog, I have been convinced to get a copy of Dombey & Son - cannot wait to sink into that one!

[@agataaugustyn1009]

I'm so glad you're feeling better! I actually am from Kraków so seeing you read a book about my home town makes me really happy 🥰

[@pendragon2012]

Yay, glad you're mostly back to full strength! Dickens is an all time fave for me. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family! 🙂

[@sophiaisabelle0227]

We appreciate Emmie for her consistency and hard work. God bless her and everyone around here. Happy Holidays.

[@karolinaeleonora3064]

Emma!!!! The Winter of The Witch!!!! The best winter book ever. So happy you're feeling better.

[@dulcepelayo7571]

Emmie as Hermione is perfect 😂

[@jasminesmith6361]

Greenglass House is a childhood favorite of mine and you should definitely read it! I haven't read it in a long time but as a kid I read it over and over again 🥰❄️

[@NjIceTea]

Im so glad you are loving Dombey and Son! I was waiting for you guys to get into his middle and later books because they are way more mature, with fully fleshed out characters and absolutely beautiful writing 😍 Id be lying if I said that D&S didnt make me cry a little, it is just so beautiful. And i agree about Edith, she is such a frickin boss

[@christinaobo]

Do I watch Emmie or read a book? Does Emmie inspire me to read more? What came first - the chicken or the egg? Not sure any of the answers to these questions 🤣BUT you also inspired me to start a booktube channel so you have been a huge influencer in my life

[@alorainautumn]

Your new apartment setup is so so lovely! 💕

[@emmiereads]

Thank you!! 😊

[@subtlefire7256]

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Happy holidays! 🎄

[@ishanighoshal2653]

I am Late to watch this video but I love how comfortable it feels to watch it. I can’t imagine someone better than Emma who talks about books and makes it feel like a podcast with good vibes❤

[@pequesilva1291]

My dad also read Open Veins of Latin America and really enjoyed it as a latinamerican family he keeps recommending it to us !

[@caroldedeurwaerder2660]

Glad you are feeling better much better. I want to say how grateful I am that you got me hooked on purchasing my first Dickens book. Dombey & Son sounds like a great story from all your updates on the book. That I can't wait to read it for myself.

[@mbbellon6623]

Thank You, ❤happy your feeling better. Sending Healthy wishes for the Holidays

[@khushbureads3882]

Just started reading The dollmaker of Krakow today after watching your vlog and I am loving it so much. Thank you for recommending it. And loved your bangs.

[@hyemiyah]

i'm OBSESSED with you being obsessed with dombey and son. that book is honestly a masterpiece.

[@stews9]

Glad you're on the mend, Emma. Welcome back, and we missed you, too. lol May your new year be triumphant, calm, and joyous. Hooray for Dombey & Son. Dickens is my favorite and it's great to see someone discover his many excellences.

[@colonelmustard9405]

I just finished The Winter Duke! I thought it was pretty good, but in my opinion it's worth reading for the romance alone. The romance is really sweet. I love your videos!

[@emmiereads]

awe so glad to hear that, can't wait to get into it!

[@patlockwood6207]

I just found you a week or so ago..I think. I love your videos. You explain the plots so well. I live in Costa Rica so it takes a while for me to get books. Very view English shops here. Have you read The Boy In The Striped Pajamas? it is a story during the Holocaust. Very touching. I have bangs too. That was so funny. You are hilarious. Thanks for making my day.

[@laurenslibrary7601]

Not me getting excited about another book subscription box before learning that it only ships to the US and Canada. *cries in Australian*

[@Cubehead27]

Absolutely thrilled with two videos in two days, a vlog was exactly what I needed to get my day of studying going 😊 Sounds like your dad has great taste, Latin American history is honestly fascinating (one of my main interests actually). I will absolutely check out Open Veins, it looks really cool. That and I am also a Tolkien superfan. Perhaps he and I are both incarnations of the same Mesoamerican god and we just don't know it yet. Also David Day tends to be dismissed by a lot of Tolkien scholars but I keep my copies of three of his books on my shelf anyway because even though he's sometimes incorrect, the books are undeniably absolutely gorgeous.

[@amandadearmas2043]

Oh! How I've missed you🥰so glad you're back and recovered!!!!!! I wish you a happy holidays🥳☃🎄🎆🎊🎇

[@chuucake]

glad you're feeling better now ♡ finished a chapter of the book im reading when i saw the notif that you uploaded >

[@missbubblegums]

glad you’re doing better this week ❤ I read Greenglass House last christmas and really enjoyed it!! might read A Castle in the Clouds next because of you :)

[@ghostyjulia]

Every single time I hear calcifer meowing I truly believe it's my cat and i'm looking around for her only to realize she's fully in the basement or something I cannot

[@leahatenco1274]

I love finding a KZbinr that enjoys classics 😍

[@nettblue]

It is So So nice to have you back Emma💕 I am happy you are feeling better. I did not get to see the Nutcracker this year either, even though I had told myself this year was The Year! That's ok, there is always next year 💜 Happy Holidays 😊🎄❄️💙❄️

[@emmiereads]

awe yes next year will be our year

[@nettblue]

@@emmiereads Thank You💖❄️🎄❤️💚

Greenglass House is such an atmospheric read! Perfect for this time of year.

[@meganthomas2114]

Oh my god 😂 The end has me wheezing 🤣 You actually looked and sounded so much like her when you did that too so I’m just dying a little now 😂😂😂

[@nikolaiquack8548]

Happiness is Emma feeling better and uploading new videos

[@RadioGirLF]

I don't think I ever commented on it before but I just love this one particular track you use in your videos (here it starts at 11:30). It's so comforting and dreamy.

[@NessaDalloway]

The impression made spill my coffee

[@0modeeeee]

Your bangs are sooooo lovely💕

[@martasgreatlibrary]

watched the video on my snack break from writing what has to be a 5k word uni essay and it provided me with the perfect entertainment to get my brain refreshed! i'm sorry you're still struggling with post-covid effects, hopefully they'll soon go away! also love the bangs! and merry early christmas emma!

[@2009ashmi]

Hi Emmie! So happy you're feeling better! Ok you finally convinced me. I just ordered Dombey and Son! It sounds awesome!! Sending hugs!! 💕🐛📙💕

[@cindyurban150]

I love bangs they frame your eyes so well. I would never attempt to cut my own bangs, I know to go to the pro's for that,I'm way too picky about my bangs. Glad you're feeling better,sorry you couldn't decorate for Christmas, or see The Nutcracker (my favorite ballet). Hope you have fun at your parents ! Merry Christmas !

[@dohabeshir9405]

i'm glad that you're feeling better ❤ i'm currently reading the christmas pig by j k rowling and it's so cozy, and btw the hermione impression at the end was so good 😂 another note : loved your christmas nails !

[@fallisdying2077]

Your new office set up looks so good!

[@Zeldagamplay]

The way you talk about books makes me believe in a better future :) Your voice is powerfull and must be heard! Besides that, happy to know that you're a fellow inside cap wearing enjoyer. Keep on dripping all over those four walls, gurl!

So glad you're feeling better! Sorry you miss The Nutcracker, it's really so wonderful! Happy holidays, sweetheart! 🎄💖✨

[@Pursuitsofmybookishheart]

I read Greenglass House to my kids about a year and a half ago as a read aloud. We all really enjoyed it ❄️ Lovely videi

[@nicolemiller8883]

Your videos are so cozy. Sorry you missed The Nutcracker. I rearrange my house all the time! My partner comes home to a new setup all the time. He has finally learned to accept it.

[@Severianaxo]

why is it so gooood

[@circleofleaves2676]

Good choice to put the desk in that room. I wondered how you were faring not having natural light by the desk.

[@Seddighah]

Emma I missed you girl, you’re bangs look great and your expression of Hermione was so funny😂 good British accent there 😂😂😂 Love you ❤❤❤

[@A_library_mouse]

Emmie, stay safe and healthy.❤

[@Justin_Palmer]

The cat meowing has me thinking my cat was going crazy! lol

[@elizabethgardner6832]

I was meaning to read Greenglass House for so long, but am glad that I finally did. Now, I've read all the books set in that world and most of her other books as well. As for hair, I agree that it is hard. I've cut my bangs a couple times, but the last time put an end to that forever. I ended up looking like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber. I had to wear berets to hide my bangs for months until they grew out enough so that I could get them fixed by someone who knew what they were doing. Another time, I tried hand-streaking my hair and ended up looking like a Calico cat. It's a look.

[@jamesduggan7200]

Your father's gift sounds nice. A book for Cultural Anthropology I enjoyed was titled: We Eat the Mines, and the Mines Eat Us, an ethnography focused on South American tin miners. Much better IMHO than Zola's Germinal, which was Realistic fiction. Their entire existence revolves around the mines, from which there is no way out but talented sons do sometimes go to University for technical education in the hope of becoming engineers. To marry their daughters, the miners borrow thousands of dollars for extravagant weddings. I'm sure your dad will love his X-mas present. Take care and Happy New Year.

[@islahook2493]

I feel like you’d love “a shiver of snow and sky” by Lisa luddeck! It’s super wintery and whimsical but also a little dark :))

[@catttycutie980]

I have the same hair type as yours and I can totally relate to you. Bangs is so hard to style with that type of hair. I use heat to style them, it only damaged my hair. So, I never had bangs anymore.

[@carolinbookland]

I died with the Hermione impression 😂😂

[@rondoflicflac]

Happy New Year Emmie!!!!

[@yxuanberries]

Currently reading “My Policeman” by Bethan Roberts and I absolutely love it. Stunning writing and gorgeously melancholic atmosphere. I think you would enjoy it, if you haven’t read it!

The first 1:30 of your video, so relatable 😅 I got RSV this year after not being sick for the last few years I’m on week 4-5 of this and my doctor has told me to be patient bc it will take up to 6 full weeks before I feel better 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@mishelly]

I’m very excited to read Donny and Sons -eventually- (always eventually 🤣) I’ve seen the movie and it’s so fun so good. But It must be so very different from the book! The movie is theatrical- a bit of a comedy I think. When you e talked to Carolyn about Dickens you say he was very much into the theatre and that shines through his work. It seems that’s where went with the movie. Have you seen the movie? Do you plan to watch the film adaptations and compare them to the books?
